As for everything else, this little diner is definitely locally owned and locally loved. It was only a few minutes from the farm I took my bf to go apple picking on the far east side of Cleveland. FYI!!! - The menu online is incredibly outdated!! Each thing is about 50% more expensive. Use the attached menu pictures to get an accurate idea of prices in late 2025. This is no longer a cheap place to eat. :( After about 15 minutes of waiting, we were sat at the counter right next to the cash register and could hear everything the staff said. I was enlightened as to how terrible they are treated by stingy, entitled customers. I felt terrible about my impatience at getting seated and getting our food but it seems like all the staff and cooks were just burnt out today. They still did a pretty good job at making yummy food though! My bf got a skillet with home fries and wheat toast. This was a lot of food and the toast was very thicccc and very heavily buttered. I ordered a gyro salad with tzaziki sauce and it came with buttered triangles of pita bread. Since we weren't prepared for the price changes, we just got water to drink. We both were shocked at how LARGE the portions were! The gyro meat was so good and the pita bread was nice and lightly buttered. My bf was a huge fan of the sausage in his skillet. Because we didn't want to leave the food in the car for a few hours, we ate everything and did not have leftovers although we could have! Not sure how well my gyro salad would taste as leftovers though so it was probably best I ate everything. Lastly, I made sure to thank them and tip generously. I hope everyone else there did the same. I ended up paying about $42.

My wife and I recently drove to this area from Seattle. We have no furniture and are utterly…read morerootless in the area, but we drove past TJs to Go a few times, and decided to check it out. To keep it brief, the service was great, and the food was incredible. To call what I ate a "corned beef sandwich" is to do it a grave injustice - I think it might be the best corned beef I've ever eaten. My Irish ancestors came to me in a vision immediately afterward and told me to write this review, so here I am. My wife had the Carboholic, which is an absurd indulgence made of an eight inch hot dog, a three-cheese baked mac and cheese, fresh bacon, and smoked brisket. She gave me a bite and I was shocked by how well everything went together, but moreso that it managed to not be a totally greasy gut-buster, but an actual well-balanced plate. At one point during our meal, a person I assume to be the proprietor came out and asked how our food was. I learned then that the delicious corned beef I was eating was not boiled, but was slow-roasted for nine hours. Nine hours! They went so far above and beyond for us that when they overheard that we don't have any furniture yet, they handed us a nice chair that someone had left at the restaurant and wished us well. We will take turns sitting in our new chair while we eat our leftovers - don't be fooled by the prices; this is easily a two-stage meal. tl;dr: Great vibes, absurdly good food. Definitely my favorite meal I've had to date in Ohio. You owe it to yourself to try it at least once.

The sweet Thai chicken had the perfect balance of flavor, the wings were on point, and the steak tacos were packed with flavor. The Spresso Pizza was a standout and something we'd definitely order again. But what truly made the experience exceptional was the service. Our server, Kristen was bubbly, attentive, and brought such great energy to the table. She checked on us consistently without being overbearing and made the whole experience feel personal with great conversation. Food was good, service was even better. We'll absolutely be back.

We haven't been to "56 Kitchen" for a long time. But we needed a round table for 10 people and…read morethey're the only place I know of that has one. As a matter of fact, it seats 12. The parking area was extensive so we had no problems in that department. So we went with the family for lunch. The young man that waited on us, Ryan, did a great job. He handled 10 people all by himself and he never missed a beat. A really BIG thank you to Ryan. The menu was reasonably broad so there was something for everyone. And the food was good lunch food... well prepared. You can imagine how much noise a party of 10 can create. That added to the normal noise of the establishment made hearing a little tough, but we handled it. After the meal Ryan made us a fresh pot of coffee, which was excellent. So, all-in-all, things went well and I would return if the need for that table should reoccurr.

Big fan. I did share the full rack of their amazing ribs with my son and we ordered an extra side of their unique baked beans. Their sauce is so far from the basic!! The spices and red peppers were a great addition. I'm also a big fan of sweet potato fries. Can never get enough. We also had a member of our family request a mock tail and the bartender came to the table to help make a spectacular tequilaless sunrise selection.

We were seated at our table and waited 25 minutes for wait staff to take our drink order. Another 20-minute wait to put in our dinner order. We were then told they were out of filets, salmon, chicken and waffles, and meat loaf. I finally ordered a side salad and pulled pork sandwich and my wife a specialty salad. My salad had a lot of old lettuce and was not so great. Another 25 minutes went by and we got our meals. My sandwich was cold in the middle and the smash potatoes were tasteless. The other salad also had similar issues. The server had many excuses for the lack of entrees available and the slow service such as how busy the kitchen was, etc. Will not be going back. Sam B.
