I had heard about this place a few years ago but finally visited on a recent business trip to the…read morearea. It's a hole in the wall just 1 block off the main street in downtown Cleveland. After dining here, it's pretty obvious that alot of their food items are pre-cooked. It doesn't mean they're bad, or not fresh, it just means they like to prep to ensure their customers receive food in a timely manner. It is a little ironic though since they have a sign inside the dining room stating "Good food ain't fast and fast food aint good!". They do have a small prep area / kitchen to make meals, but it has short ceilings, limited space, and no vent hoods for exhausting steam/smoke. There are 2 microwaves in the kitchen area, if that gives you any idea. Not sure they even have an oven in their kitchen. The dining area is a beachy, tropical theme to fit the name "The Big Kahuna". Their menu is pretty simple, 2 pages with burgers and salads being their specialty. However, they have a weekly steam table special which consists of a meat, 2 sides and a roll for about $10. They also serve bbq, and some Mexican food and even chicken fried steak. Since they seem to specialize in burgers, I ordered a burger. Just traditional burgers here, no fancy toppings. The handformed patty is about 1/3 lb, and comes standard with mayo, lettuce and tomato, served on a Hawaiian sweet bun. I ordered their highly touted fresh cut French fries, which are a la carte and good. Portion size of the fries was a little on the small size. Overall I enjoyed this meal since the taste of the burger and fries were actually good. They didn't ask how you want your burger cooked though, which makes sense since it's a pre cooked patty. How do I know this? Because the burger came out less than 5 mins after ordering from the waitress, and was cooked at least medium well...faster than even some fast food restaurants I've visited lately! They do not have cheddar cheese, just some shredded American cheese blend, so no cheese for me. I did add bacon to my burger, and they initially forgot to add it after bringing the plate to my table. Luckily they remembered though, asked for the plate back, and placed it on the burger. Another complaint is that the bacon is crumbles, not strips. They apparently don't cook the bacon fresh and seemingly use a pre-packaged, pre-cooked product which was pretty salty. Bacon strips are preferred on burgers since they leave less mess on a plate at the end of the meal. I also ordered a sweet tea and a dessert before I left. On my tea refill, the waitress gave me unsweetened tea, which was strange. There were 3 bundt cakes on a cart beside the steam table with slices of vanilla, red velvet and chocolate. I chose the red velvet flavor and it was okay, but I've had better. Maybe the strangest part of the meal is that they give you a spoon to eat your cake!! In summary, the best part of the experience were the prices. The service, food quality, and taste /preparation of some menu items were a little questionable. This might be the reasoning behind the prices....not sure. Some items are just meant to be "cooked to order", and some you can get away with pre-made such as items on a steam table for faster service. I feel burgers should always be cooked to order at a sit down restaurant!

Ok. I can only assume the negative reviews on here were written by other restaurant owners here in…read moreCleveland. Especially the ones with two or three total reviews. So my advice is this: if you are in Cleveland, eat here. The hubby got the fajitas. I tried them. They were no shredded or boiled like some person wrote. They were tender and tasty. I even stole one of his. I got the pound of boiled shrimp. The shrimp were cooked well and not overdone like at many boiled shrimp places. The price was very reasonable. In fact the prices were comparable to a good seafood restaurant nearby in humble or Houston. I get this is Cleveland, but it's also a notch above the other places here (I've eaten in them all). If I had one piece of advice, I'd say the appetizer prices are a little high (as they are at almost every restaurant now) but they looked interesting and different than a lot of places. But when you are a Mexican restaurant and you give out free chips and salsa, it makes it easier to not get an appetizer when they are priced high. Maybe lower the price and the portion size? And speaking of the salsa...it was different but excellent. Real spicy. My mouth is still tingling a bit. I think maybe some habañero in there. It was lighter than a regular tomato based salsa, but tasted amazing. I couldn't stop eating it. And they gave you your own individual cup of it so the salsa hogs couldn't steal yours. Also...it's chilled which I prefer, but a little different for the Houston area. So maybe that was part of the issue with that negative Nancy. Anyways, we will be back. This place should be rated even higher than it is. Ignore the negative reviews.
