    Super fun decor and our waitress was fun and spunky. Great diner! I had yummy French toast with real maple syrup.

    Stopped in after a doctors appointment. Located in a strip mall in Chardon, the interior is decked out with 50's memorabilia. A Buddy Holly record was being played along with others as we ate. Only there for an hour, it was busy with regulars. Staff was friendly. Food was good. Coffee refills were on time before I had to ask.

    Just a sample of the decor

    My friends & I (all retired teachers) bike just about every Thursday. This morning (10/05/23) we rode the Maple Highlands Trail, and then stopped at Spinner's to eat (late breakfast, early lunch). FOOD - I had "The Fabian" burger (w/fries), which in my opinion had one of the best flavors of any burger I've had in recent memory. The fries (hard to mess up fries; although I've eaten places that try EXTREMELY HARD to do so) were adequate (good, but not the selling point of this restaurant). [BTW - my one friend ordered the "Poodle Skirt" burger. As a fan of fried cheese, I need to go back just for that - it looked AMAZING!] DECOR - For any "baby boomer" this place will invoke a wave of nostalgic memories. For those of you born after 1969 (especially if you are interested in Americana), go there with a "boomer" and ask them questions; you will learn a lot! SERVICE* - Our waitress (Diane, if I remember correctly - a BIG IF) was GREAT. Order taken & food prepared relatively quickly (I was quite hungry after having no breakfast & just completing a 20mi ride), so I was happy not to wait long. (Full disclosure - the place was not crowded when we walked in). PRICE - Inflation has caused prices everywhere to go crazy. However, many places charge A LOT more for the same type of meal. I am totally satisfied with what I paid for the value of the meal I received. *Note - Everywhere businesses are asking much more out of the few employees they can get to work for them. This is especially true in the restaurant business. For anyone that gets easily impatient & does not give their server the "benefit of the doubt" in a crowded restaurant . . . . well, my opinion of that person is inappropriate to post in this review.

    I have only gone here for breakfast and the food is great along with the service. Prices are slightly high, but you get what you pay for.

    Great breakfast, very clean, reasonable prices, outstanding service. 50's style atmosphere creates a classic diner experience.

    First and foremost, the quality of the food stood out…read more We started with water -- we don't drink out of plastic, so Hailey was kind enough to bring our table water in glasses. I also asked for a lemon wedge, not a slice, since you can't squeeze a slice. Next came our espresso martinis, one for each of us. We actually felt the bang for our buck -- strong, well-balanced, and worth every penny. For our appetizer, we shared the gluten-free BBT meatballs. It was delightful. Then our Cobb salads arrived, each with shrimp added. We requested a side of extra-virgin olive oil -- not a blend -- and the kitchen got it right. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake, minus the graham cracker crust because my friend is gluten-free. I would have preferred the kitchen plate it for sharing and provide dessert silverware with it, instead of us having to flag someone down. I'm also industrial seed oil free, and Hailey was attentive to both of our dietary needs throughout. The manager, Chris Nichols, stopped by to check in and ensure we were satisfied -- a clear sign the restaurant is customer centric. I actually thought Chris was the GM. Kudos to the general manager, Ben Lano, for inspiring great teamwork. Lastly, I give the ambience four stars, simply because we don't have a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ohio.

    This was amazing I didn't try an entree because I wasn't super hungry. I ordered an order of honey…read moremustard wings and I was highly impressed. My buddy got an order of Irish egg rolls and I had to get an order for myself. They had corned beef inside and sauerkraut with 1000 island dressing to dip it in super good. The waitress was quick and attentive. Also the casual environment I would say business casual a little more upscale or going to a nice place like this I spent about 58 bucks on two drinks and two appetizers which I mean they blew me away I forgot to mention the wings were breaded and they had a nice crunch to them I love it.

    Be nice to your waitstaff and tip generously! Eating brunch here on Sunday before going apple…read morepicking reminded me of just how hard they work and how terrible so many people treat these lovely folk. That's my PSA for today. As for everything else, this little diner is definitely locally owned and locally loved. It was only a few minutes from the farm I took my bf to go apple picking on the far east side of Cleveland. FYI!!! - The menu online is incredibly outdated!! Each thing is about 50% more expensive. Use the attached menu pictures to get an accurate idea of prices in late 2025. This is no longer a cheap place to eat. :( After about 15 minutes of waiting, we were sat at the counter right next to the cash register and could hear everything the staff said. I was enlightened as to how terrible they are treated by stingy, entitled customers. I felt terrible about my impatience at getting seated and getting our food but it seems like all the staff and cooks were just burnt out today. They still did a pretty good job at making yummy food though! My bf got a skillet with home fries and wheat toast. This was a lot of food and the toast was very thicccc and very heavily buttered. I ordered a gyro salad with tzaziki sauce and it came with buttered triangles of pita bread. Since we weren't prepared for the price changes, we just got water to drink. We both were shocked at how LARGE the portions were! The gyro meat was so good and the pita bread was nice and lightly buttered. My bf was a huge fan of the sausage in his skillet. Because we didn't want to leave the food in the car for a few hours, we ate everything and did not have leftovers although we could have! Not sure how well my gyro salad would taste as leftovers though so it was probably best I ate everything. Lastly, I made sure to thank them and tip generously. I hope everyone else there did the same. I ended up paying about $42.

The atmosphere felt genuine and community-driven. The food was the highlight-easily one of the most creative, thoughtful, and flavorful breakfast experiences I've had in the area in a long time. The originality of the dishes really stood out. The grits, in particular, were excellent-something that's surprisingly easy to get wrong, but they executed perfectly. One of the most impressive aspects was the takeout quality. I ordered a meal to go and didn't eat it until 15-20 minutes later, yet it still held up incredibly well-no reheating needed. That level of consistency is hard to achieve. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot to friends and colleagues. If you're unsure what to order, their Instagram page is worth checking out for inspiration
