    Potato Pancakes! With your choice of applesauce or sour cream, and not this guys funny face.
    Stacy P.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Delicious food, great service!…read more We stopped in for an early dinner and were greeted and sat right away. Stefan was our server and he was fabulous!! I would absolutely request to sit in his section again! He was very attentive, answered our questions, had a lot of passion, and really seemed to care! He also got our orders just right with all the special requests - which he assured us was the perks of their restaurant making things for each dish - you can customize as you need. Three of us had burgers: - Heckburger as listed on the menu, with fries - Heckburger with chicken patty, heck sauce on the side, Swiss cheese, no tomatoes or onions, and substitute onion rings for fries (slight upcharge) - Salmon burger with onion rings Burgers were delish. The brioche bun makes it! The chicken patty was great flavor! Both the fries and the onion rings were delicious. I'd likely order the fries instead of the onion rings next time. We were all happy with our meals and would order them again! Our fourth person ordered a half house salad and the wild mushroom ravioli. The house salad was a generous size and very good! The wild mushroom ravioli was soooo good! The pasta was delicate and the flavors went so well together. Our server shared that the pasta is made at Antica Italian restaurant right next store! After trying that dish, I'd absolutely go to that restaurant too. The restaurant has a great bar and a decent size outdoor seating area too! It's very nicely decorated too. I hope to return!

    We came here to ring in the new year on New Year's Day!!…read more Heck's.... The perfect place for brunch!! I got the Heck's Croque Monsieur... DELICIOUS on their sourdough bread!! & it felt better eating it with a salad than the usual fries! I'm not sure if this was a special or on their regular brunch menu, but worth the taste!!! The other decided on the Ohio City Breakfast & the Breakfast Sandwich! Both really good & LOTS of food... you will have some to take home! Our server Giovani (something very Italian) was so kind and helped us pick! Always filled our coffee up an made us laugh! It was a great way to bring in the new year!! I'll be back soon I'm sure... this is a classic!

    There is nothing quite like getting to experience the places people you love frequented growing up…read more Naturally, as part of the lil hometown tour- we went to a spot Noa used to frequent growing up. With GOUD reason too. Hazels is your classic American diner- no frills, just fresh brewed coffee, and comforting meals. I went with their "something new" skillet- a hearty combo of eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash and because i'm me I added cheese too. It was delicious in every sense. I can understand why this diner attracts the locals and visitors alike. Noa got the country skillet with eggs, hashbrowns, onion, peppers, and ham. The ham gave the salty savory kick to balance out the sweetness of the onions and peppers. Truly a treat- and again, huge portion. We also opted for a side of French toast because I feel like it's cruel to go to a classic diner and not get some form of French toast, pancakes, or waffles. They were delicious too. I loved getting to dine at Hazel's and get a glimpse into an Elyria classic. #GOUDapproved Country Skillet | $9.79 Eggs, Hashbrowns, Onions, Peppers and ham (you get the choice of Bacon, Ham or Sausage) Something New | $9.79 Eggs, Hashbrowns Topped with Corn Beef Hash side of French toast | $5.29

There is outdoor seating but it was chilly out and the vibes inside are cute and Instagram friendly, so we ate inside. There were 4 of us and we each ordered a different drink and a different crepe. I ordered the Hawaiian crepe and an iced matcha latte with oat milk. The other 3 ordered a dirty Chai, a regular Chai, and a brown sugar oat latte for their drinks and the chicken tuscan, Parisian, and the bacon avocado crepes. We were really happy with our delicious crepes but were mixed on our drinks. The crepes are huge and definitely worth the money! I can only speak for mine but I thought my Hawaiian crepe had a generous serving of ham and pineapple inside and the pineapple sauce was chunky and slightly spicy! For the two of us, my bf paid about $45. So the crepes were great but I'd like to mention a few things that bumped this down to just a 4 star experience. The limited time drinks didn't have the prices listed on their special menu. I think that, if they read this review, they should write the prices next to all items they offer. Also, they forgot to charge my bf for his crepe and didn't put in his order so the other 3 of us had our crepes for a few minutes already before he asked where his was. They apologized and whipped his up immediately so he didn't have to wait in line. They still had him pay at the end though. Oh well! And lastly, they ABSOLUTELY need better ventilation here - your clothes will smell like fried food until you get home and wash them! Don't wear something non-washable here haha. Anyway, I'd come here again if I'm in the area for a crepe or two!
