    Philip C. Classic Eggs Benedict Corned Beef Hash.

    Great food. Wonderful staff. Good job, Southside. I love diners. Pleasant Ambiance. My server was terrific.

    Southside is the quintessential, small town spot that makes diners so amazing! There's probably no more than 20 or 25 seats in the place, a small counter mainly for cashing out and an open kitchen. Our waitress was nice and took our orders pretty quickly. A friend and I split the chocolate chip waffle to start. This was a seriously good waffle. The batter was tasty with vanilla and a little cinnamon flavor and the waffle was soft. I got two potatoe pancakes which came with eggs and sausage. The potato pancakes were fine. They were creamy and had green onions inside. They were a little too soft for my liking. I was grateful they had turkey sausage patties. My friend for the gyro potatoe skillet. The lamb was shaved and a little overcooked. The potatoes and veggies in the skillet were well seasoned which really elevated the dish. Great diner and I'm happy I finally got to try to place.

    Best West side diner. The place actually is an old style diner complete with round stools at the counter and lots of 50's memorabilia decorating the walls. Checkered linoleum floors! Specials each day. Breakfast to burgers it's all delicious. I had the corned beef quesadilla. Tender juicy corned beef and sauerkraut with Swiss cheese and egg sandwiched between a grilled tortilla. Yum. Served with Chipotle Mayo or Thousand Island. Fountain drinks. The real standout here is the fantastic service. Not stressed just really friendly, efficient and attentive. We stayed a bit when we were done eating and chatted with the servers. Truly nice folks. Plenty of parking. Loved all the art of old time stars. Good prices. We will be back.

    Here's Yelp for a local diner while passing through north royalton. Found another winner but that was easy when the diner already had great reviews on Yelp! Small place and packed. Great servers. My hash was great. Kept bringing coffee. Good prices. Everything looked good. Their French toast looked great too.

    This place was fantastic. My husband loves diners and I love any place that has a breakfast burrito considering I use to live in California where they are everywhere. I found this place online and we decided to give it a try. We got lucky and came after the breakfast rush and was able to get seated right away. Food came out in a good amt of time and the staff was nice and attentive. I would definitely come back here again next time we are in town

    Hey Ya'll. Who doesn't love a good diner, go and jump off a bridge, and I hope you land in one of the seats inside Southside Diner to change your mind! I'm not sure of the nationality of the owners, but this diner has the best of Clevelands' own style of food. The decor pays homage to Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and Jimmy Dean with an old-school ice cream shop theme. Classic toy cars are all around, so yeah. The bathroom could use a little deeo clean, but there was toilet tissue, hot water, and soap, so im glad about that! You guys know that I'm a breakfast type of girl, and I believe a diner/restaurant should be able to make 2 things well A burger. Eggs. If you can't do those two things, just close up shop!!! I ordered the Crazy 8, 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 slices of french toast or pancakes. I substituted provolone cheese instead of American, and I believe she (I don't recall my server telling me her name) charged me $1 for the exchange and didn't say anything. I also added the hashbrowns, which were very good, and the bacon was COOKED. You know how some places cook the bacon just enough? No, this bacon was cooked to a crisp perfection, and that's the reason I'm not tripping about the lack of notification for the charge of a substituted cheese. Although my server didn't tell me her name, she was cool enough and big up the hostess who greeted everyone with an absolutely beautiful smile. I would recommend this little spot.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.

The dish has plenty of chorizo, cheese, and a spicy crema sauce. The sauce was not too spicey. It packed a flavor punch and set the dish apart from others I had.

On the outside it's a big silver diner. Looks smaller than it is. Inside there is a good amount of seating and it's not small. Parking is right out front. We sat and ordered pretty quick. I got the chicken noodle soup and salad. Kathy got the Greek salad with chicken. We both got the Greek dressing. The chicken noodle was homemade with plenty of big carrots, celery, egg noodles and a bit of chicken. It was good. Could have used a bit more chicken but it was full of veggies and tasted good. Plus it was hot. Love it. Salad came and it was a decent size. Also lots of veggies. It was just enough food. And the price was great under $8. The Greek salad could have been a bit larger. I thought it looked a bit skimpy. But Kathy got a whole chicken breast cut up. She sub's out the gyro meat. Again dressing was homemade and really good. The desserts looked super good but we did not partake. The menu is good with Bfast, lunch, dinners. Everything from burgers, sandwiches, pasta. Lots to choose from and prices are decent. Service was good. She was very attentive. Overall, good experience and good quick lunch. I'd go back.
