I was exploring restaurants in the area and came across Lox, Stock, and Brisket in the lively…read moreVanAken Market Hall -- and I'm so glad I did. I saw some menu items that sounded light and refreshing (like the lox with cucumbers) and figured it was worth a try. As I followed my GPS and other people walking in, I had no idea what to expect -- but the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away. The space is filled with beautifully curated shops and venues all under one roof, and the energy was vibrant, electric, and welcoming. People of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures were there -- it truly felt like a community gathering spot that instantly felt like home. I placed my order, grabbed the lox and a Coca‑Cola, and found a free table amidst so many people enjoying themselves. The community feel was unmistakable -- people chatting, laughing, and soaking up the atmosphere. The food was wonderful, the service was fantastic, and overall the experience was unforgettable. If you're looking for a place that's more than just a meal -- one with real heart, vibe, and community spirit -- this is it

Tried the brisket sandwich at Lox Stock at van Aken. Flavor-wise, it was very good -- the brisket,…read morecheese, and pickle combo worked nicely and tasted great. That said, I was disappointed by the size. For $20, I expected a thick, hearty sandwich, but this felt pretty skimpy for the price. Ordering was also a bit frustrating -- I had to repeat myself three times, and the employee taking my order had AirPods in. When your job involves communicating with customers, that really shouldn't be allowed by management. Good flavors, but between the small portion and the ordering experience, it's only 3 stars for me.

We started with the clam chowder and it was delicious! The clams were tender and the broth was delicious. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was absolutely delicious! I had the Asian salad with salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The fish was so crunchy and light. I wish I had order his fish. But my salmon was cooked to perfection and the greens were fresh. The salad dressing was a vinaigrette and my only concern was that it needed more flavor. But the textures of the currants and cashews were really very good. We had the sticky toffee pudding cake with ice cream for dessert to go. It was also really yummy and light. This is one of our favorite places and we will be back soon!

Among the local sub chains I have always preferred DiBella's, I think they make a far superior…read moreproduct. The Warrensville Heights location on Richmond is pretty typical; the stores feel more roomy and a bit more upscale then the other chains. There is plenty of seating, lots of warm wood and it just feels like they actually want you to stay and enjoy your food. On this trip I used the online ordering system which was easy and provided all of the options you could want to customize your sub. I ordered a Medium Tuna Sub on the Multigrain Bread with almost all of the veggies. The sub was ready for me to pick up, so I got in and out quickly. The Medim Sub is big enough so that I got 2 meals out of it. DiBella's bread is very good, great texture and chew, with a good flavor. The Tuna is high quality and not overly wet, plus they put a generous portion in the sub. DiBella's offers more topping options including various sweet and/or hot peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. I really appreciate being able to compliment the tuna with some crunchy and spicy items. DiBella's offers high quality subs and other items, prices are a bit higher than other chains, however you are getting better food and bigger portions. DiBella's feels more like a very good sub shop rather than a chain restaurant. If you are looking for a really good sub give them a try.

It's been years since I've had a sub from this place. I was in town and decided to stop in. The…read morerestaurant was empty and I was greeted right away. I asked the cashier what was his favorites. The cheesesteak was one that he mentioned so I decided to go with that. The cheesesteak was a great choice and the serving was plentiful. However, the sandwich could have used more mayo and cheese. It had very little cheese for what I expected in a cheesesteak and the taste was good but definitely could have been better.

Wanted to like this place more but it just fell flat. Came…read morehere after a hike nearby with a girlfriend. She was hesitant to choose this place at first because she wanted more options than just burgers/sandwiches. Thankfully we found some Google images of the menu that had rice bowls. Friend ordered a salmon rice bowl and I ordered their famous donut burger. I thought the donut was a little too small and skinny for the price at $14. Also, this is a big kicker--no fries or sides! Within the burger, just a square of Kraft cheese, some bacon, smash burger type patty (2) but no onions, tomatoes or even cucumbers (or pickles). The value is just not it for this. Did it taste good? It did but I needed more of a crunch. Just 1 or 2 slices of raw onion would've been good. Oooooh or like crispy haystack onion straws would be perfect. Server said fries were an additional $5. Okay, no thanks! The place was really loud. It echoed slightly and just the clientele were extremely rowdy on a non-holiday Wednesday evening. It took a while to get seated, for server to even come over to take our order and to request our check. Not very impressed with the experience.

No Fork Beachwood is a restaurant in Beachwood. It used to be a very casual establishment until…read morerecent innovations. It now looks like a sit down restaurant with a bar and ample seating. I didn't even recognize it at first from my previous visit. While the restaurant has a nice new face, I wasn't impressed with my time here. AMBIENCE: The restaurant has a posh new look. It's one open space with plenty of natural light. The front of the restaurant has booths and tables. The bar is towards the back. Decor includes faux marble, white and red tones, occasional neons and No Fork wall. The decor doesn't quite go together. The atmosphere is very casual. The entry to the restaurant is awkward. The front door does not open due to some issue with concrete. Only the back door is available for entry. The back of the building has random garbage. The back of the restaurant stacked boxes. It's not a welcoming entrance. FOOD: I ordered Donut Burger ($13.75) and Smash Burger ($13.75). Burgers do not come with any sides like fries. There are really no sides to add from the menu unless you want to try appetizers (or shareables on the menu). Donut Burger is a creative concept but has poor execution. In theory, it would be a great idea for someone who is craving sweet and savory morning options. The donut tasted stale, cheese low grade, and skinny bacon that was not restaurant grade. Smash burger was on the dry side and not appetizing. The ingredients are not high quality. It really impacts the quality of the meal. These burgers are the equivalent of something that I would expect at a fast food place not a restaurant. The menu also features shareables, Philly, pi boys, wraps, and comfort dishes. SERVICE: The service wasn't impressive. I have to give credit where credit is due - food was cooked quickly (maybe 10 minutes). Other than that, there was no customer focus. No one asked me if I wanted anything to drink (even water) as I waited for my to go order at the bar. No one explained the menu to offer shareables to go with burgers. Employees were more interested in looking at their phones and socializing. PARKING: Parking is available at the front and back of the plaza. There is plenty of space. Overall, I wasn't impressed with my experience at No Fork. The food was not delicious and seemed to utilize the cheapest ingredients. The service was mediocre. If you're looking for casual bites with a bar option, try it out. Unfortunately, I didn't find any reasons to return.

The price point for the meal was pretty great considering wings have become so expensive lately. The fries were cooked well and I love that they have malt vinegar.

It's a cute cafe, with a delicious looking display case of baked goods and treats. You place your order at the counter and they bring your food to your table to eat. The menu features a large assortment of sandwiches, wraps, and subs! They also have breakfast, soups, salads, and a large coffee menu. I got the USS New Jersey Battleship, which is described as huge a 15 inch sub that few can take down in one sitting. And I agree! Out came two huge subs, filled with toppings, that became my lunch and then my dinner. The New Jersey had capicola, salami, pepperoni, cheese, shredded lettuce and banana peppers. A really great sub for less than $10! A friend tried the turkey club, which was a visually quite stunning three bread sandwich. Another friend really enjoyed their breakfast sandwhich. And the root beer floats were three huge scoops of vanilla ice cream and a bottle of root beer. Overall, this place is a total gem, and I will absolutely be back next time in the area for the metroparks!
