    Clean, Great Tasting and Cheap Kristina's has all of the usual diner perks like forever flowing diner coffee in those iconic brown diner mugs. There's that awesome mix of Clevelanders in and out of here. A great diverse mix of black, white and hispanics from what looks to be all spectrums of backgrounds (these are just broad statements to further the point of how diverse the crowd is). This is a great Cleveland diner, period. The place is tucked away on Lorain Ave. with ample street parking. When you walk in Kristina's you're greeted with a friendly hello and instructed to sit anywhere you want. The diner is a mix of traditional 4 man booths and large tables that can fit at least 6-8 hungry Clevelanders. The biggest thing I noticed in comparison to a lot of affordable "greasy spoon" diners is how clean and put together Kristina's is. There's signs and knick knacks with different pictures of superheroes and actors along the walls. The furniture has charm but is not run down. Too many times I walk into diners that have broken booths with holes and springs popping through them. But Kristina's is a great example of how it should be done. Now to the food! The food on the menu doesn't stray from your usual diner specials like omelettes and home fries, pancakes and French toast and any combination in between. I can say there biscuits and sausage gravy are a step up than most diners that usually use a crappy powder mixture. Overall it's fresh diner food that is not caked with butter and oil. One thing to note is they don't mind you asking to hold the mushrooms or other ingredients you may not want in your dish. Top of the list for a great cheap breakfast

    The look of this place reminds me of the restaurant Patsy's Pies on the Showtime series Shameless! It's only open for breakfast and lunch, but what makes Kristina's cool is that you can get a meal and drink for around $7 + tip. You can get a solid breakfast for about a dollar or so less. I used to live in this neighborhood and still work in the area, so I try to hit this place up from time to time. Today I had the patty melt which comes with fries and a cup of soup (soup of the day was chicken and rice) washed it down with a can of Diet Pepsi. It's your typical greasy spoon diner in the City. Good prices and decent food. Probably why its been open for as long as I can remember.

    This is a remarkable place. First and foremost, the food. Jeremy is clearly a genius at pickling…read more We tried pickled everything. It was all amazing. When I walked in, I had to settle for an unbelievably delicious scrapple sandwich because they were temporarily out of pastrami. Scrapple with a handmade, red, cabbage, slaw, onion, marmalade, and cheese. So creative and so delicious. My wife had asparagus and fennel soup. The fennel perfectly cut through the richness of the asparagus. Add to this one of the best potato salads I've ever had and it would've been enough. Until Jeremy came over to the table with some fresh pastrami to taste. I don't know where the best pastrami in America is, but whatever it is it's unlikely to be better than this. This is a place you should not miss.

    Housed in a historic building in Ohio City next to a bevy of other great dining options, I always…read moreend up gravitating toward Larder because it is exceptional and because the owners are just such damn good people. I love supporting what they have going on here, and its no surprise that they've been James Beard nominated multiple times. The rotating menu of sandwiches always deliver. The fried chicken is the staple I like the most, but my husband prefers the pastrami. Those are the two I always recommend newcomers start with. The best sandwich they make, in my opinion, is the fresh & fried tomato sandwich. I watch their Instagram posts like a hawk in August when I know the local tomato crop should be coming in, and then I try to go at least twice while it's on the menu. Sitting outside on a sunny day with fried tomato juice dripping down your chin is a version of my heaven. Don't sleep on the rest of the menu, though, where the pickle selection, house-made sodas and egg creams, and baked goods almost out shine the mains.

    Located just to the side of Hingetown, and walking distance from the main strip of W. 25th near…read moreWSM, Little Cloud is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The store is arranged sort of like a New Orleans shotgun house, where its not very wide but extends far far back into the building. In the front, you can find seating and you'll walk back toward the kitchen to place your order. I'd add it to the growing list of great sandwich places in Cleveland - all of which are in the general Ohio City area (Herb & Twine and Larder being the other two). What differentiates Little Cloud is the fact that they offer breakfast sandwiches, their very good bread, and that they're serving sandwiches up with some of the best french fries in town. As far as sandwiches go, my husband and I have tried the fried cauliflower (a seasonal special), turkey & brie and fried green tomato BLT - all of which have had a stand-out sauce on them, and in the right ratio. We can't wait to try more in the new year!

    This was my second time at Little Cloud and first time for lunch. I ordered the Nashville Hot…read moreChicken sandwich, fries with house seasoning and a side of the peppadew aioli. The sandwich had great flavor. Pretty messy, but worth it. My only suggestion (if they're taking them) is to consider pounding the chicken a little flatter. One side was so thick it was hard to eat and maybe just a little drier than it should have been. It didn't detract from the taste. As other reviews have mentioned, the fries with house seasoning are incredible. The peppadew aioli was great too. I want to try the other sauces, but I may have liked this one too much to deviate. If you're planning - and able - to finish your whole sandwich, you could probably split a "fries for 1" between two (but you might not want to). It's counter service, and the person who took our order was helpful. Not much seating if you want to eat there but overall a cute spot inside.

It's a cute little place right near the lake with white brick walls, a casual atmosphere, and phenomenal service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat right away.

We shared a Soft Pretzel served with house-made brown butter cream cheese which was absolutely delicious. For mains, I got the Cheese Steak Dip and my husband got the Surf & Turf. Highly recommend checking them out!

Sandwich was good, but a little heavy on the lettuce. We also got the chicken skins with ranch, which of course are the best part of fried chicken. This dish was raped about by Michael Symon and Guy Fieri. We also got some french fries dusted and hot spices which we need more ranch dressing for. Very good, but we need to go later on dusting next time. We also got a brown sugar rice crispy treat which we got one to split and then we ended up getting a second one because it was so good.
