This restaurant is amazing!! L.A. Pete's has a small town restaurant vibe and it feels like a family home! As soon as my family arrived here, we got seated! The food is also very incredible, and I totally recommend this to anyone who is in the Independence area! Personally, I got the Cinnamon Apple pancakes and they were incredible! Also, our waiter was here with the coffee and water before we even stopped drinking it! Five stars for incredible everything!! read more

The food was really good for the price. Nice clean dinning area friendly staff the only complaint is that there is always a 20 minute wait and the slow service... read more

LA Pete's is an amazingly good breakfast spot. All fresh ingredients served daily. Good sized portions too. The eggs and bacon are never greasy and the bacon comes thick sliced. They get you in and out. The service is excellent. Never have to wait or watch for servers. Cool place. Simple. No gimmicks or cheesy decor. read more

We stopped her for breakfast with the family. There were 6 of us. For parties 6 or more they will not split the check, just a heads up on that. The service was good, the food was ok. It's definitely has the old times feel to the place. The menu is different it's not your ordinary breakfast menu so if you are looking for something different maybe check it out. I personally won't not go back because it just wasn't anything to write home about in my opinion. read more

I ordered here early morning eight at opening. I attempted to place a phone order but no one answered. I ended up coming in and ordering. The server greeted me promptly and came over shortly to take my order. The phone rang and she told me to hold while she grabbed their order. Off to a weird start ..... Now on to the food. I ordered the equivalent to the Route 21 but with no meat. My order was cooked to perfection. I may order again but I am a little hesitant. read more

The place looks kind of like a 40's restaurant. It's very nice. The service is good except they didn't ask if we wanted dessert and I really did. The food was very good and the prices are reasonable. They close at 1:30 so you need to get there early. This is my new favorite place. read more

I haven't been here for a while, because I don't come to Clevelands East side much if at all anymore. Was greeted by a woman who was sitting down at a table and didn't bother to get up so she was yelling how many from her chair. someone else eventually came over with menus. They have added to their regular menu which is still the same after all these years, but they've added a scribbled menu with lunch specials, which is new. I would probably try all 15 of the lunch specials. They sounded great but too many carbs --their breakfasts still come with toast and potatoes. Oh too many carbs. so I decided between one lunch one breakfast and one special and I ended up with the special beef quesadilla that came with sour cream and salsa. It appeared in a reasonable amount of time and wish I'd have been smarter to take a picture because the presentation was stupendous --very beautiful to look at, you know we eat with our eyes first. the decor still needs something to be desired. The floors are scruffy. The tables are nothing to look at, the heat is way too high. It's 1204 and I'm getting ready to leave and it's starting to get filled up with people ordering for lunch. My server Kendel was a little abrupt and was trying to get rid of me but all in all it was a good choice to dine with my Eastside appointments today and a very good choice of food. I just wish they would do something with the decor cause there has been nothing done in many years and I would think the owners of Simons, who also own this restaurant would know things need to be remodeled every now and again read more

The place is a big room that I feel needs updating. The waitress was friendly and somewhat efficient. The food is not good in any way, shape or form. The Eggs Benedict was hideous. Trust the reviews. read more

Fresh food, clean atmosphere, and amazing waitresses. If you have not ate there, please do.

Great breakfast! They have a large dinning room with lots of tables. Big menu and many things to choose from. Fast service! read more

Waitress with the curly Burgundy hair. 1. Placed menus on table and kept walking leaving us to ask, is this our table? 2. She said, "Yeah", what do you want to drink before we even sat down to look at the menu. 3. Brought food out and never checked for continual satisfaction, condiments, etc..except for when it was placed on the table. 4. Thought she was just having a bad day but I watched her do a great job as a waitress with her other tables. 5. Brought the bill, never thanked or asked to come again. My bill was $17.90 I left her a $2.10 tip right where she placed it on the table. 6. Husband satisfied with the food that came out faster that you could even crack and egg and scramble it! I wouldn't return , her service was uncomfortable and I felt she would have rather served every other person in there except for the two young black couple that happened to be myself and my husband. read more

This is a great local place with super friendly service. The decor is nothing fancy and the prices are great. They have a big selection of items in the $8-10 range which is getting harder to find. I had the spinach supreme omelet and a side of bacon. It comes with sliced potatoes and choice of bread. The portions are large and the coffee is good. The service was very prompt as well. There are lots of choices for breakfast in the area but I will definitely return here. read more

L.A. Pete's - Spinach supreme omelet. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Independence, Ohio

A well known gem in the Independence area that serves some of the best breakfast I have ever had. The place is pretty spacious with an open floor plan which gives it a comfy vibe. The staff is always nice and punctual. My husband and I ordered to go and our food was ready in like 15 mins. This was a busy day too and we were in and out. We ordered pancakes, pecan french toast and a breakfast combo. The food is a large portion that fills you up but still leaves you wanting more. My favorite item on the menu has to be their breakfast potatoes. I love how they are made with a crisp edge and soft insides. I'm excited to try more menu items in the future. read more

We go there often, food is great ! Fast service & Kendel is our favorite server , always smiling & great service . We ask for her when we go there ! read more

Most of our breakfast was below average except for the bacon which was thick and crisped perfectly. scrambled eggs and home fries were dry and were probably pulled from a batch of premade. We had to remind our waitress about our order of French toast, and when it did arrive it also was dry, obviously from sitting in the kitchen too long and she wasn't very friendly and had to be flagged down for a coffee refill long after the food was served. Not really that crowded for a late Saturday morning. It wasn't the cleanest looking place from the outside, worn and dated. Kind of drab inside too. First time there, and really doubt we'll be back. read more

Amazing prices for the quality and quantity of food. I always order take-out and the food is always ready within 10 minutes. The main woman who runs the front desk needs to be protected at all costs. She always makes my day with her positive attitude. read more

La Pete's is hands down my go to American breakfast joint in the Cleveland area. Here's what you should know about LA Pete's: * the food is great & the menu isn't huge.

I can get a breakfast with French toast, eggs, potatoes and bacon for 6.99; less than a drive through fast food joint! * The staff is always friendly and the service is great.

Best Breakfast and Best Service in Cleveland. The oatmeal and bacon never tasted so good on a cold snowy morining. Armand read more

The thick sliced bacon is the best. Service is always good. A decent value for your money.

Great hearty breakfast! You can almost tell that L.A. Pete's is an awesome place for breakfast and lunch when you see that they are only open from 7am to 2pm! This spacious diner is a great spot for homemade meals! I was skeptical seeing a completely packed parking lot but walked right in and was instantly seated! The waiting staff was very welcoming and friendly. I got the Cuyahoga Heights which is a skillet full of potatoes, sausage, gravy, eggs, peppers and onions. This hearty option was beyond filling that I was instantly put into a food coma. I will absolutely be back next time to check out their lunch menu read more

Quick service & great server! Nice place- was seated by the window and enjoyed looking out to the road. I got the route 21 and my husband got the Big rig and both were very good. French toast was lite and very good! read more

We had a very nice breakfast here Thick cut bacon excellent cook just to bring floppy but not crispy. Perfect Eggs over medium cooked perfect I don't think you can go wrong here Nice size portions Pancakes And French toast looked good as well I am told that the French toast was made from a more crusty style bread so it appears to be on the crispier or harder side. The hash browns were good not great could have used a little seasoning and a little hard frying. They were not crispy read more

Fantastic place. Delicious key lime cheesecake. The service was fast and great. Will be coming back again!

Food was wonderful and our waitress was so nice. I ordered a skillet breakfast hold the peppers. I was done perfect and nice and hot. My guest ordered chicken soup, it was loaded with veggies and stuff. She also ordered a club sandwich which came with fries. So much food for the price. She had enough for dinner as well. Keep up the good work. read more

I think I found my new favorite breakfast spot and is right down the street from house!!! Winning! I have always wanted to try this place out but I thought it was further down Brecksville. So one day when I passed and notice how close it was- I was determined to eat there that week. Well I have already ate here twice with both my parents. Both times we had WONDERFUL service and food. They food came out so quickly too! Both of my parents said that the bacon was DELICIOUS! This place is a cute place. Very family-friendly. It is open from 7am-2pm which is another reason why it is a perfect breakfast spot. That means they can concentrate on the most important meal of the day! I only wished they served mimosas but even without that I will continue to come back. If you are looking for a yummy breakfast with quick and friendly service, this is the place for you! read more

Excellent breakfast. Pecan waffle was delicious and the bacon was thick and cooked perfect.

Alright, I am going to be real with you. I was really hesitant about going to this place because I thought it was going to be a dump. I was so wrong! We went to lunch today to celebrate a co-worker's birthday and they wanted to go here so we went. Outside it looks like nothing special, inside it's a hodgepodge of brown walls/ceiling, a wall of mirrors, party carpet, colorful glass light fixtures (some missing light bulbs), and songs like Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers were playing. Our party of 8 was seated right away at a big table in the middle of the restaurant. The waitress accidentally whacked me in the head with several menus. BUT The staff is nice, the food is good, and the price is great! Seriously, I got the Cuyahoga Heights deep dish skillet for only $6.99! It consisted of sliced potatoes, sausage gravy, sausage, green peppers, onions, two over medium eggs, and rye toast. HUGE portion that left me stuffed all day. And it was TASTY! Our server was prompt with the water refills and checks so there was no long wait on anything. I was very pleasantly surprised by this place! So lesson learned today: Don't judge a book by its cover or you're gonna miss out on a good story. (I'm blanking on a good food version of this saying) read more

For the amount of traffics at this restaurant I had high hopes. No such luck. Service was rushed as the waitress set the glasses of water down and asked for our order. We were just given the menus. Food was terrible in both quantity and taste. In fact no taste at all, potatoes were burned. This was definitively a one and done experience. read more

This place is cute and I truly appreciate a restaurant with their own flare. The atmosphere gives off that old diner feel, with oldies playing and a mix of dated woods and carpet. It seemed like a big attraction for the baby boomer generation from the looks of our table and the ones around us. The food was ok, also classic diner-style flavors and presentation. While overall I would classify this experience, food, and restaurant as average, the service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly attentive with coffee refills and food deliveries. That's enough to make me return. Good help is hard to find and it is nice to feel appreciated as a patron. read more
