This was our second visit to Yours Truly, and once again, it did not miss. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal. They have preserved elements of the historic Halle Brothers Co. department store, which gives the space a wonderful sense of character. That old Cleveland charm feels especially fitting in the Theater District. The food is excellent. If you are looking for a diner-style breakfast or brunch without the heavy, overly greasy feel, this is the place. The brunch cocktails are also very good. Our server was phenomenal, and joked along with us the entire meal. There is usually a wait, so come prepared--but it is absolutely worth it. read more

I'm in love with this place. One of the best skillets I've ever had and the place is just a cool atmosphere! The service was amazing and food came out quick. I will be here every time I'm in the city! read more

Stopped in Saturday morning for breakfast. A lot of good restaurant conviviality. It was well staffed, multiple seating options, and staff were attentive to customers. The Killit Skillit was as advertised. Great place for downtown dining. read more

Ate at YTR twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. Our server both times was Ashley. She was great. For dinner, we had hummus, chicken tenders, and a chicken wrap. The entrees came with a huge serving of round fries. For breakfast, we had French toast, eggs, sausage patties, and hash browns. All of our meals were decent. This is a unique and open venue with an industrial feel. We really liked it. read more

We've eaten at YTR prior to theatre several times. The service is always friendly, accurate and accommodating. The food selection is good. Happy hour reasonable with several options. Most recently, our server, Kenaii exceeded our expectations - order was correct, checks accurate and also divided up the price of a bottle of wine amongst several ladies. The inside area of the diner could use some updating. read more

I'm going to be honest, I expected this place to be much more crowded during Happy Hour on a Thursday night. But I was so pleasantly surprised to find a seat at the bar while I was dining by myself. Couple of older folks were there as well either working on a laptop or chatting over some food and a cocktail. The bartender was wonderfully friendly and efficient. They have a broad menu with great prices. Not to mention Happy Hour pricing is really good. I ordered the Cobb Salad and subbed blackened salmon for the chicken. I was not expecting a GIANT salad jam packed with ingredients. This was easily 2 meals. I took this salad to go and they forgot the dressing, but quite frankly it didn't even need any. Drinks were flavorful and well mixed. I got a coffee to go as well (they don't have iced coffee but the amazing bartender made it happen anyway). Great service, wonderful selection on the menu, delicious food and good company. What more could you ask for? I'll happily head back here next time I'm in Cleveland. read more

In town for a site visit, and "hungry" was an understatement--though let's be real, I was thirsty first. This cute diner setup is tucked inside the historic Halle Building in the Playhouse District and definitely has its charm. I loved how the restaurant spills over into the building's shared seating area--clearly a go-to for employees in the area. I kicked things off with my old faithful: Tito's and cranberry. Then came the Chili with the works--absolutely delightful. I legit wanted to lick the bowl (sorry, no pic today--too busy enjoying). Came back again for the Hot Buffalo Wrap with a side of honey mustard. Solid choice! I honestly didn't want to leave--I was enjoying the sights, the food, and yes, the booze. If you're nearby, do yourself a favor: come in and treat yourself! read more

Outstanding! We ate there two nights in a row! I was in town with a buddy and we needed a place to eat close to our hotel. Found this, and parking was quite affordable on the street, even on the one night where there was a ballgame nearby. We got right in both nights. Staff was friendly and prompt, and took good care of us. And the food was excellent! My first night I had two appetizers for dinner--the chicken tenders and the homemade hummus and pita. Really really good! The second night I had their burger with sweet potato fries. The flavor was excellent, and I loved the brioche bun. It was a tasty, satisfying meal after a long day out. Highly recommended! read more

This is Cleveland's VERY BEST place for breakfast! We went there twice in a three-day weekend! Rivor was our waitress and she was part of the reason we went back. We weren't stalking her, but she was our waitress both times! The omelets were delicious. Sized just right and fluffy (I don't use that word often). I had mine with rye toast. Oh and they have blackberry jam! The atmosphere is cool with an old repurposed feel to the place. We enjoyed the ambiance, the food and the service! We'll be back on our next trip to Cleveland, and NO, we're NOT stalking anyone! read more

Wonderful experience no wonder they are open since 1981. I had both the pancakes and French toast for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Service was awesome and the staff even noticed a mistake in the order before I said anything. If you're in the area, definitely check it out. The coffee was wonderful, they even gave me a to go cup as a parting gift. Definitely go here. read more

Yours Truly is a gem in the theatre district. We went there twice for brunch during our stay, and we sat outside one of the times. Their menu had a variety of choices, the service was friendly, and the food was terrific. Nice vibe! read more

What a wild ride this was. We ate here twice because it was next to our hotel. Both times had highs and lows. For dinner I ordered the hearty Mac and cheese which, as far as I can tell was velveeta Mac and cheese and when it was done, they pulled some croutons from the salad bag and dropped them on top of the Mac and cheese. The croutons make it hearty. I will say the bartender made a great espresso martini from scratch. But to be clear, most of the time the espresso martinis come out of a machine. Lame. The next morning my gf and I both ordered French toast and this part was UNHINGED. we both ordered the same thing at the same time and I swear to god we received two totally different French toasts. Mine was fluffy and delicious. Hers was about as dry as cardboard and just as flavorful as cardboard too. Check out the picture. The fluff yellow slice was mine, the sad gray puck was hers. Your mileage may vary. read more

Located in the Halle Building in downtown Cleveland, Yours Truly is a great and reliable diner offering up breakfast all day and a variety of diner favorites and classics. Yours Truly is a go-to for me because, yes, it is convenient for me while in town for work, but also because it is really a great options for breakfast lovers. I've tried a variety of their offerings and what I find myself returning to time and time again is an order of their Monster Hash with a side of two over easy eggs. For me it just hits the spot and never disappoints. I also really enjoyed the Notso Omelet and that may find its way into the rotation as well. Service has always been great! Super friendly, more than happy to offer up suggestions if needed but also not overbearing. Whilst they do offer happy hour and a full bar, I've never partaken in said offerings. Short, sweet, and to the point; if you're looking for a great breakfast option while near Playhouse Square in downtown I cannot recommend a stop at Yours Truly enough. In fact, I can guarantee that you'll find me here at least once each time work has me in town...if not more than once while here. read more

Food was good and quick! From the time I walked in and was sat and waited on I was welcomed and everyone was so nice

We just went to the one in Beachwood and it was amazing, so when we got up from the hotel located right next door we wanted a repeat but ended up flubbing. At 0730 on a Monday, the armosphere was amazing, there were no people, but were hit with a server more interested in talking to her friends than getting us our drinks, and then the food arrived burned. I could understand a delay if it was packed but there was nobody there. Really dissatisfying. read more

Fast, friendly, fresh favorites! A nice breakfast and lunch option for anyone downtown or near playhouse square. Stopped for breakfast, wanting the simple egg, meat, toast deal, but they GOT me with the "monster hash". It was a nice addition to my breakfast, and was absolutely what I needed to satiate my hunger! Downtown staple, simple food done right! Come for the convenience, stay for the bright atmosphere, lively staff, people watching and tasty bites! read more

We stopped in here for breakfast and just loved the open inside section. They had a great breakfast cocktail menu, a large kids menu and a food menu for everyone.

As a group of 4, we went for breakfast. it was a very short walk from our hotel. Breakfast was delicious and huge. The next day we just wanted tea and a snack. Apple pie with amazing cinnamon ice cream and the best hummus I've ever had, filled out snack requirements. we finally said farewell to Cleveland, but not without another breakfast that was great. Servers were pleasant. prices are affordable. You can't go wrong. read more

While not gourmet, this is the perfect spot to stop when visiting playhouse square as a before show dinner. The menu has something for everyone at a reasonable price and the quality is very reliable. Fits the bill when just looking for something you can count on plus the cocktails are on point. read more

I went here with my family while they were visiting. I was RAVENOUSLY hungry. I informed our server of my dairy allergy and she was very accommodating and most importantly, communicative. I ordered the general tso's chicken with rice, sweet potato fries, and fresh fruit. Service was of high quality, and I scarfed the food down - it was exactly what I needed. The flavors of the rice were savory and herby, and paired well with the sweetness of the chicken and sticky sauce. The sweet potato fries were great too, but anything sweet potato is a hit with me. The sauce that came with it was dairy free, but creamy (I assume some kind of mayo base?), it was great too. The fresh fruit side, was, well, fresh tasting! The strawberries were great. Clean restaurant, slightly preppy but still laid back vibes. Very cute, will be back. read more

Popular diner in Playhouse Square. We ate a quick but good meal before walking over to Progressive Field for a baseball game. Hubby chose the 12 oz steak (medium well) and ate it all, plus a large cup / small bowl of chicken noodle soup and half of his saffron rice. I had the cod on spinach and onions with the saffron rice (nothing special; it was a little dry). I couldn't eat the Asian veggies I had ordered because the spinach and onions was so substantial. The fish was nicely seasoned, and the spinach and onions were very good, but the best part of all was the tartar sauce. SO GOOD. I liked my cucumber cooler as well. Good thing they have closed captioning on the TVs, as it was very loud. We came by RTA bus, so I can't say anything about the parking. read more

Food was good - have been to the Hudson location and nothing bad to say about anything there either. The downtown location must be short staffed - lots of tables open, yet we had to wait a while for 2 people at 10:30 on a Saturday, which is fine but it was hard to stand watching half the restaurant be empty and waiting for 30 mins to eat. We ended up at the bar and our food was good - nothing over the top but flavors were good and portions were generous. My favorite thing was the syrup for the French toast - highly recommend. read more

The service was very disappointing. I was seated immediately but it was at least 5 minutes before anyone came by to speak. Someone could have at least offered to get me some coffee. After I was finally spoken to I was ready to order. It took at least 20-25 minutes to get my meal. The bacon was 4 pieces totally stuck together like it was at the very bottom. It wasn't burned but VERY close. The eggs were cold. I will say the pumpkin pancakes were really good. read more

Ate here recently with a group of coworkers for dinner. We were meeting at the Crowne Plaza so this was a very short walk on the first night we were all in town. Menu is large and diverse so some ordered sandwiches, some ordered fish, and I ordered breakfast. The breakfast was great overall but the eggs were a little runny for my liking. Most people ate good but a few of the group weren't happy with their choices. Again, a spot like this with so many options isn't likely going to make amazing food but for the price, good choice. Location is great right in Playhouse Square and walking distance to Rocket Field House and Progressive Field. The staff was friendly and very accommodating since we walked in with 11 people and no advanced notice. Thanks for being so friendly and professional! read more

Before we left Cleveland, my boyfriend and I stopped at Yours Truly for breakfast. We noticed that in a quick Google search that they offered gluten free options. I went with the Sedona omelet, which was sauteed applewood smoked ham, green pepper, onion, and cheese. I chose the cottage fries as my side. My boyfriend ordered a side of the corned beef hash and the BLT breakfast. Everything was good. I really enjoyed the cottage fries, which were like sidewinders. The service was great and fast, which I appreciated because the meter was ticking and I didn't have any more quarters. But more on that later. There is street parking and old school street parking where you have to use quarters. So make sure you have some change in your pocket. read more

Me and my parents went there for breakfast. As a ten year old I love pancakes, and I ordered the mouse pancakes; a mouse shaped pancake it was delicious I added whipped cream, strawberry and maple syrup.

Tl;dr great food, poor service I came here with friends for brunch on a Sunday morning. We were a party of four, and the restaurant doesn't take reservations. We got there at 11 AM and the wait was about 30 minutes, which wasn't too bad. We just waited in the lobby of the Halle building next door since it was boiling hot outside. The four of us were quite hungry, and we were itching to order food. We started out with some orange juice mimosas, which took a while to come out even though it was just champagne and orange juice? We then place our orders, after which our waiter basically abandoned us. We've been sitting there for nearly 30 minutes, with just our mimosas and no food, and I literally had to flag him down just to ask for glasses of water. It took nearly an hour for our food to arrive, which was quite frustrating, and everyone in our group was getting quite hangry. The food itself was quite delicious. I got the omelette, and the other members of my party ordered the sunrise, the killit skillet, and the eggs bruschetta and a pancake. Honestly, all of the food was really delicious, that we're not entirely sure how much of it was just because we were literally starving. The omelette was quite fluffy, and they definitely didn't skimp on the fillings. The hashbrowns really hit the spot, though I do wish it they were a bit crispier. In any case, I would definitely recommend the food. I would consider coming back if I wanted an American brunch, and I am curious about the rest of the food on their menu. However, the service really was just so disappointing that I am hesitant to come back again. read more
