Note: This restaurant is cash-only, but they do have an ATM inside. Shore Restaurant is a cute, diner-style spot with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I came here with my mom and immediately felt comfortable. Having lived in Detroit for several years, the place gave me classic Coney Island vibes, which was really comforting. The staff was attentive without being overbearing and genuinely friendly. The food was exactly what you'd hope for from a place like this, which is a good thing. It hit the spot and satisfied exactly the craving I had. The only thing I wished for was a little powdered sugar on the French toast I ordered. read more

A wonderful, cute little diner in Lakewood. They have a booths to sit at or a small bar area. The staff was super nice. The place is very clean and the prices are decent. They have a variety of items on their menu. The soup we got was very good. We were able to find parking right in front, not sure if there was an additional lot for parking. I will definitely be going back. read more

Cute breakfast spot, fast friendly service. I just had a standard breakfast, the sunny side of egg yolks were firm, which meant overcooked, but, what can you do. Maybe I should've sent it back. Please keep in mind this spot is cash only. read more

The plan is I should live down the street from this restaurant many years ago and I never went in and tried it. That mistake is on me because I really enjoy this place and the breakfast I've had since coming here multiple times recently. The staff of the owners are incredibly friendly And the service has always been great. It's got that old school diner field which I like as well. I'm a big fan and I will keep coming back here. Parking on the street usually isn't a problem because I've always been able to find a spot right in front. read more

Pancakes are the best and so are the staff. A will run family restaurant. Parking very. Good

I love a good breakfast diner! It was our first time here on a Saturday morning. The place is very small, but we didn't have to wait. I got French toast which was absolutely delicious! My husband got a corned beef omelette. And he really enjoyed his as well! I wasn't vibing with the home fries though. I prefer a little crunch to mine instead of mushy. *this place is cash only* which we knew going in, so that was fine. Service was fast. We parked in the street, but there was a sign on the door that said there was parking behind the building. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

First time here, long time admirer. Was having work done on our car nearby, so my wife and I popped in to have a breakfast while we waited for things to wrap up down the street. It is located in a very nondescript street-side strip of shops that you'd probably drive (or walk) right by without noticing...but don't!!! This is truly a Mom & Pop run shop...the same family that started the spot some 38 years ago are still hard at work both in the kitchen and in the front of the house. The place has an old-school vibe (because it is) with its scant set of booths and tables along with around a dozen countertop stools where single diners can order and eat. And please remember (in the spirit of older establishments) that they are CASH ONLY! We each ordered a coffee, which kept flowing without any prompting, and when we desired to switch over to decaf a new pot got a-brewing right away. Tasty stuff! In order to try more than one dish of the same thing, she ordered a Greek omelette with home fries, wheat toast and I got a standard egg breakfast plate over medium with bacon and pancakes. They were nice enough to "split" the toast between one wheat and one rye to satisfy our different tastes. Everything was solid, just as you'd expect from this type of restaurant...served hot and fresh off Dad's spatula! Wanted to also comment on the pancakes, they were both quite large and super-fluffy making for a very hearty breakfast. Kinda sad it took us so long to give this family-run restaurant a try, but am certain we'll be back! read more

Nice little diner in Lakewood! We stopped in on a Saturday and were able to get a table pretty quickly. Their menu was posted on the wall above the table and they offer breakfast all day so that was great for me. I ordered a coffee and a veggie omelet with an English muffin (the omelet came with potatoes and choice of bread). The omelet was huge and tasty and the potatoes were very filling and a little bland - and everything came out super quickly. This place is cash only so be prepared for that! A good experience overall. Thanks, Shore Restaurant! read more

Wow what a great lunch! I'm friends on twitter with John skrtic from the library & he's good at tweeting these shout outs to local joints. Great food great prices great service, nice family. This diner has it all. Really was great service, friendly folks & its legitimate. Nice parking lot too. Went on Sunday @ noon & they were busy but used to it. Great turnover nobody waits. Generally they wait at the counter seats until a table opens up. We sat right away end of the counter. Both had the famous or very popular anyway egg sandwich. Mine on wheat toast with sausage & feta. Great home fries come with. Fast out the kitchen, piping hot. Delicious little sausage omelette sandwich. Buttery. Just great. Coffee was fantastic. Mom & sons were so friendly. When it's real u don't have to go out of your way in the service industry. Great place! 5 stars. Cash only. Long live the shore restaurant. By 5 o clock lounge as a bonus. Breakfast & lunch hours but there are entrees on the menu. GO. read more

Excellent food, very fast service, highly recommend, prices are great, very friendly people

First timer here. We were on the hunt for a basic diner and we found it! The spot is small and slickly divey with exactly the kind of diner food you're looking for and remember. Pancakes were flavorful and fresh. Eggs were scrambled with a little bit of fluff. I really enjoyed my Denver omelet that had just the right ratio of toppings inside. Oh and the home fries--exactly what I was craving with crispy outsides. The bacon was crispy. Coffee was actually good (hard to find at a diner). Staff was friendly. Decor and ambiance is typical retro diner style with sit-at bar stools and booths. Very cozy and homey. We will def be back again. read more

Once again started out for breakfast at one place and ended up at another. The Shore Restaurant will not disappoint although it has limited seating the food makes it worth the trip. All the staff was attentive and the coffee cup was never let go empty. read more

Although I have only been here once, I feel qualified to make my judgement about Shore Restaurant. When I visit an Italian restaurant, I almost always choose spaghetti with red sauce. My feeling is if they can't get this right make this will be my last visit. It is the standard bearer of solid Italian Southern Italian food. Likewise, a solid Greek restaurant must have a tasty gyro or I'm out, never to return. The smell of gyro meat ( Cronos, beef and lamb shaped in a cone or another brand) turning on the burning spit, smoking and filing the room with a great aroma is Greek restaurant essential. Although there was no spit in sight, I ordered the gyro. Instead of uneven and hand sliced meat from the cone of beef and lamb, my gryo meat was extremely thin and uniform. No burned chunks, no unevenly sliced pieces and not much aroma. It appears the Shore Restarant uses Cryovac gryo meat, a shortcut that is unforgivable. read more

In town to visit our daughter. Tried a new place for breakfast. We had a great breakfast at shore. Family owned for the past 38 years. They got it down. Food was out fast and delicious. Good was hot and good. What I remember as a good old local dinner breakfast. The server was friendly and made it feel like a family affair. We definitely enjoyed the restaurant and food. I'm guessing it hasn't changed much in the last 38 years. Which is why it was so good. read more

Came here as I found this place on IG. I never got greeted. In fact a couple came in after me and they sat them before me. Both men that worked up front ignored me as if I legit wasn't standing there. Maybe I'm the wrong skin color for this place read more

Food - EXCELLENT - DEEELICIOUS - COOKED TO PERFECTION! Service - EXCELLENT - Even though the place was full and more people were coming in the door, the service here was fast, friendly and made you feel at home! Ambiance - BEAUTIFUL - not beautiful in an outlandish way, beautiful in that it feels like an old fashioned diner where you are welcome with both arms, where it's clean and inviting. This was my first time to The Shore, it won't be my last. My 2 friends who were with me today, said the same thing. They will be going back as well. We met the cook who asked us how was everything and were the eggs cooked to your satisfaction! The three of us could not praise her enough. Scrambled, over-heavy, no matter what we wanted - WE ACTUALLY GOT IT! Try that at Bob Evans! I dare you! Bob Evans can't hold a candle to this place. I sound excited because I am. It's wonderful, the people are wonderful and the food is delicious! Mary PS. I do not know how to find the daggone stars to rate this restaurant on this site but I would give it 6 STARS - Whoo Hoo Found the star rating thingy. Gave it 5 stars but that doesn't seem like enough for this treasure of a restaurant. read more

I drive by this restaurant all the time and finally stopped in today. Very homey and calm atmosphere. The space is small enough that the staff are always attentive and friendly. I love diners that have regulars come in because it shows the loyalty to a good restaurant. We quickly received our food and hands down the best french toast I've ever had. My partner devoured his bacon and cheese omelet. This is cash only but they do have an ATM on site. I'm excited to come back when the weather is warmer so I can walk over for breakfast!! read more

Great corn beef omelette! Good diner coffee and great family environment. The service was excellent very friendly and prompt.

Our waitress was amazing! The food was great and very reasonably priced my husband and I were very happy

Driving through Cleveland we didn't have a lot of choices that were right off the highway so I turned to yelp to find some thing that wasn't a chain. That led us to the shore restaurant and an extremely wonderful experience. The food was served very quickly and was very good almost to the point where we might think about going any day even though we live three hours away. Yes I've driven three hours for good food. The service was great and the whole atmosphere was very homey and welcoming. Keep up the good work. read more

Support your locally owned and run mom & pop diners/restaurants folks! This place is the real deal. Old school diner, with a counter & stools of course, that serves delicious, freshly made food and good portions too! The employees are friendly and hard working, and the coffee was really smooth and great tasting. Much less expensive than the 'chains'. Don't miss this little gem of a place! read more

This is a place that looks like it could be filmed in a movie. It's so cute. It reminds me of the place I use to go as a kid. The people are so sweet and very down to earth. You can tell it's a family owned business and they take pride in that. The food was amazing. I don't even like omelets and the one my boyfriend got was SO good. The best pancakes I ever had. Thank you guys, we will be back read more

My boyfriend and I walk to the Shore all the time, it's one of our favorite breakfast spots. Unassuming, simple, classic with a Greek twist. Tina greets you with a smile asks how you've been, friendly conversation starts with Mike and Steve immediately. Angelo says hey from the kitchen window, as he flips eggs and throws some home fries on. The food is great and you feel like family when you walk in, what else could you possibly want? We love this place and always recommend! Thanks again for the flowers, Tina! read more

Family owned and run. Great food and friendly family serving. Enjoyed our first time there and we will be back!

Nostalgic mom and pop diner straight out of a movie simply describes Shore. It's everything you'd expect from a cash only place, generous portions featuring a basic breakfast menu, and personal attention from the owners who make you feel like you're a regular. We did a takeout order. It was hot, perfectly packaged, and included everything we needed for our morning rush. We will be back for SHORE! read more

Classic family run diner. Quick breakfast at a reasonable price and friendly service.

The Shore is a great place to grab breakfast. This is a classic little Lakewood restaurant and is similar to the Place to Be but a couple miles east. They only take cash so be sure to bring a few dollars. One can easily eat for under $10 with tip included. The staff could not be any friendlier and seem to have developed close knit bonds with the customers. People wait in lines for Borderline, Lucky's, Grumpy's, South Side, Petite Triangle, Flap Jacks and all of the other cool brunch spots. If you come to the Shore, you can eat some delicious food and hang out with cool people. read more

Sometimes you need a no frills place to grab a quick breakfast. Not only do you get great service in a family owned establishment but you get quality food and great conversation. I talked to one of the owners (the wife) for over 20 minutes and loved hearing her story about where she came from and that they have owned this diner for 31 years! Their coffee is good and their menu is simple and inexpensive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and I got gyro meat and swiss cheese on a bagel. It was delicious! My coffee (which I had 3 cups), the breakfast sandwich and potatoes came out to be $8 with tax. Now that's my kind of breakfast! read more
