There are very few places to dine in the evening, that is not very pricey and amount and quality of food is good. Love the dining experience here and glad we found somewhere to dine, especially on a Saturday evening. read more

We've been to city diner two or three times now. Breakfast is amazing. The portions you get for the price you pay are incredible Service is outstanding and there's never really a wait for a table. Servers act like they know you right off the bat and check on you frequently to make sure your dining experience is great! Highly recommend! read more

City Diner is fast becoming my fave lil' breakfast spot. Very neighborhood feeling here, sometimes I see the same regulars too. My grandma is no longer on this great planet, but somehow I feel her cooking when I eat here. Expect to wait on the weekends if you shall grace us with your presence after 10am. The staff is always super awesome and they all seem to get along well, which is unusual, but I'll take it! I don't think my coffee cup has ever reached just below halfway (as if there's someone in the back with an alarm that goes off to get to your at that near decrement level). I have been here easily now about 10 times since my first visit late summer this year. It's almost always hustlin' and bustlin' here. More often times than not, I find myself going one of two ways. Either corned beef hash and eggs with toast, or I get the potato pancake breakfast "sandwich" which is two homemade (enter someones Grandma here!!) potato pancakes stuffed with two eggs, choice of meat, and cheese. If this is your breakfast, plan on skipping lunch. While this is not a fancy place, it's a damn good neighborhood joint where you feel at home, you can comfortably wear your sweats, and not spend too much moolah. read more

The quality of food and customer service was outstanding. Very clean and friendly experience.will definitely go back.

This adorable diner will take you back for a minute to simpler times where everyone seemed to bond over a nice breakfast with sweet pleasantries. Their entire staff was so welcoming and worked as an incredible team, which was really nice to see. They all smiled and waved goodbye to their regulars, which was really touching. Also, they aren't afraid to customize your plate so you get something that you enjoy. It is my largest embarrassment to be "that girl" when it comes to ordering but especially at a diner. Unfortunately I'm doing low carb right now so I couldn't get down with all the toast and potatoes... believe me, I wanted to. Special shout out to Heather who was so accommodating and friendly; she made me feel right at home and even gave me powdered cinnamon when I asked for it for my coffee, which I know is a ridiculous request lol, I've become so boujie. Back to the food; I had two eggs over medium, bacon, and mixed vegetables (the $4.99 Early Rise ***deal city***) while my companion partook in a meal that looked far more divine. He had some absolutely out of this world blueberry hot cakes which he commented also tasted kind of "vanilla-y" - they were super fluffy and the perfect amount of poppin tart blueberries. He had the rye toast with his meal, and I'm not gonna lie, I had a bite, my eyes rolled back into my head with that "this is too good, I can't" look... it was sinful so I handed the toast back, lol. He was very kind to share some of his amazing sausage patties with me and those hit the SPOT. They were a little tiny spicy but in all the right ways, and super juicy! Bacon was a little flatter I would say, but not lacking in flavor. If you're looking for the perfect diner experience with breakfast options to wow you, stop on by! The coffee is hot, the people are kind, and the food is delicious! read more

Breakfast goodness allover from the pancakes to the syrup it's done right here down to the last drop! Coming here with my friend after a long night of driving we both needed some much needed breakfast and what more to catch my eye than some blueberry pancakes bacon eggs and sausage as that's just what was good for this given day! The pancakes were yummy with lots of blueberries to make them perfect in what was the breakfast way my bacon was just right as well as the sausage so you know I was happy about that alright! The whole meal was a decent breakfast with some yummy goodness all around and yeah I'm quite picky when it comes to breakfast as I feel I make some of the best at home but this was definitely good too much better than some other breakfast places I've been to in my life. Overall the blueberry pancakes were yummy the service was good and friendly and the whole meal just hit the spot for this given morning! With that said I'm sure I'll get back here again some day as it was what was good on this given day! read more

I was so hopeful with this one but disappointed. The portions are good for the price, however, the flavor is so lacking. I ordered a southwest skillet and was super excited. There was little meat to be found in the skillet. The majority of the skillet was undercooked potatoes. They had no color on them at all and absolutely no flavor. Why a 3 and not lower? My sister-in-law had the biscuits with gravy and she quite enjoyed it. She said the biscuits where baked perfectly with flavorful gravy with lots of sausage. I can't speak to service or ambiance as I ordered online and picked up to go. I did notice that the prices when you order online is a bit higher then what's listed on the menus which is a bit irritating. I liked that you can track the progress of your order easily though. Overall, just meh and would pass in the future, unfortunately. read more

Wa were in the area and looking for dinner. Saw this and stopped. They were a healthy amount of people but social distance and masks were around so all was good. Didn't want anything heavy so we ordered salads. We got the Chalet and the Cobb. They make their own blue cheese dressing and ranch. So I got the ranch with my Cobb. Salad was a bit larger than it seemed. I wasn't looking for something huge so it fit the bill. It would have been nice to have some bread or pita with the salad. My partner liked her chalet salad. She thought it was good and enough. Plenty of parking. But the lot is full of pot holes. Be careful and go slow. Server was nice. They were clean. Wore masks. The customers appeared to be regulars. All in all not bad. Just not very memorable and just ok for the food and portions. Not sure I'd go back. read more

Nice family restaurant, centers right I. North Ridgeville. Great for breakfast or lunch, they are great service and very attentive read more

Walk into the bathroom after eating breakfast and was completely disgusted. If you see how FILTHY it is and you still eat here than that's your choice. It's the dirtiest bathroom I've ever seen. My husband said the same about the men's room. If we would have used the restroom before eating, we would have left and never eaten here. NEVER will we ever come back. read more

Don't come to City Diner expecting fancy food, but if you arrive with the mentality that you will get home-cooking, then you will be in for a treat. The menu has many options, but we tried the blue cheese burger and the potato pancakes. Both were absolutely excellent and at a very fair price. It is nice to have a great diner option like this in North Ridgeville! read more

The most AMAZING home cooked meal I've had in a very long time! Went there with my daughter, (whom is VERY Picky) and she even loves that place. read more

Best liver and onions in the city!! Salad made to order!! Gravy and mashed potatoes!!

I struggle with the 5 stars. Not because it is not deserving, but it might bring more people here and the secret will be out. I can only speak for breakfast which is AWESOM. Our server Allison was amazing. Extremely friendly and helpful. I had corned-beef hash, two eggs, biscuit and home fries. The hash was some of the best I have had, and I love hash. Wife had biscuits and gravy and it too was fantastic. This is simply one of the best experiences I have had in a while. So glad we stopped. read more

Our favorite breakfast food around. The staff is quick and the food is always good. Hidden secret is the prices, reasonable for the good food. Don't judge this establishment by the outside, it's a traditional older diner and the food is well worth it. My wife and I can enjoy breakfast for under $20 and take leftovers home. EAT HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! read more

Great food and atmosphere reasonably priced and fast service. I old highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for a good meal

Ok place for breakfast. Standard breakfast selections. Good service. I think you could put this on your list in stopping now and then. Check website for hours read more

Good service, friendly too. Lots of choices and everything good. Eggs over cooked. One thing missing from our order but let it go. Windows need cleaning. Suggest you get a seat where you don't have to look at them... read more

The food is down home, comfort food. Not high end cuisine, but a nice home style meal. The people are nice and the meals are inexpensive. The cleanliness isn't great but I think that's mostly because it's old. The pandemic made things very difficult for them. They have struggled to get employees. Supply chain and inflation have also made business difficult for small businesses I'm sure if business was booming, they would have made some updates by now. I hope others will support local restaurants as they struggle to find workers and keep costs down. read more

This is a regular stop for the family. Everyone manages to find something they like and we change it up often. The price vs the food is good. The quality is good as well. The dinners include a choice of one of two different soups or a salad. The portion sizes are good for the cost. We are out with 3 dinners and beverages for under $40. They have a decent selection on the menu the specials are hit or miss. read more

City diner was a pleasure to go to. The food was excellent and the location was very convenient. The waitress staff was unbelievable the price was great and I really enjoyed myself. Definitely will go back again read more

20 minutes before I even got my drink order taken. My kids and I watched 3 other tables get their drinks and food orders taken before we even got anyone to our table at all. I won't come back here and I most def won't recommend this place to anyone. Rude rude rude staff. CITY DINER GET IT TOGETHER read more

Love this little restaurant! It's nothing fancy, but it's great for a simple breakfast at such a good price! The staff is friendly and your food comes out quickly. Only been there a few times for lunch/dinner and it's pretty good, again nothing fancy but pretty good quality, I'd recommend if your on a budget or just don't want to spend a lot of money and don't feel like cooking. read more

The staff is what makes this place to great. We usually get breakfast from here and have gotten burgers for dinner a few times. The food is always consistent. I hate when I go to a place and have to roll the dice on if it will be good or not. Kelly has come to know my orders by name and is always so friendly. read more

I have tried this place a couple of times because every place can have a bad day-but each time is a pattern. Went with another person and compared notes each time so it is just not me. The food was not "hot". It was warm - even the soup. Yes, we did have to have the plates returned to the kitchen to be reheated. the food was good - just not hot. I want a hot meatloaf sandwich to be hot. Think they should look into it. I have talked to other people and they concur. I tried to get opinions in case it was just me or my dining partner. read more

I love a good diner. When I was working from home during Covid, I'd come up here for lunch specials to get out of the house. I enjoy adding a cup of soup. Solid diner food for quick easy meal. My wife swears by their breaded pork chops. I'm not a huge chop fan, but I agree. I eat the paprikas hon Tuesday. Dumplings are a bit soft, but again, very solid, quick, delicious meal. Support local. read more

Friendly service and really good server. The owner comes to the tables asking how everything is. So many choices for breakfast and great prices. The portions are generous and the place is packed. I chose cheese omelette with mozzarella cheese and came with toast and home fries. Husband chose corned beef and Swiss cheese omelette with home fries and toast. Would definitely recommend this diner is you are in North Ridgevile area. We live in summit county and both love to venture out read more

My mom is new to the area so we decided to try this place out. Everyone was very friendly including our server Kelley who made sure we were always happy. We started with mozzarella sticks and they came out promptly. I had the steak special and for an 8oz portion it was large. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium. My mom ordered the Nantucket chicken and it was delicious as well. We were so full we didn't have room for dessert. They had enjoyable, relaxing music playing. For all the food we ordered the check was under $40. On our way out we gave our compliments to a man who seemed to be the manager or owner. He invited us back and was very friendly. We will definitely return soon. read more

First time customer today. Typical home town diner. Standard fare. Service was good in spite of being short handed. Will certainly be back. My over the top standard for a restaurant is cleanliness. This restaurant could use a boost here. Hopefully this is a result of the shortage of staff and not the normal. read more

I am not that guy. I'm not going to complain, eat everything, and expect not to pay. I am paying for what I eat no matter how much I did not enjoy cold food. I know we are under a pandemic, but if you're going to stay open give me a reason to come back. read more

A pleasant family friendly diner. Good service early in the morning for breakfast. Home fries were pretty good, omelet was satisfactory. Service was very friendly with a constant smile. An overall good breakfast experience read more

I am so happy I stumbled across this diner! This is the first restaurant I've been to in a while where the tables aren't sticky! The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. The portions are big and price wise it's very affordable! I always feel obligated to leave a decent tip not only because of the service but the amount of food for such a low price. The atmosphere is cozy and I always enjoy sitting with my dad over food, coffee and conversation. I highly recommend eating here, especially for breakfast! Best French toast and eggs!! (Real eggs!!!) read more

Inexpensive... good service... good food... cant really ask for more! check out the chicken parm and spaghetti or the chicken romano pasta. delicious!! read more

I like this place, a friendly neighborhood restaurant, not pretentious, good food, good prices, not crowded. Been here for lunch many times: make sure to check the specials. The style is American food, the wait staff is friendly, and it has music playing, but quiet enough to talk. Not a "destination" restaurant for impressing your date, but a good place to have lunch with friends read more
