I have to agree with the earlier review. The service wasn't awesome and the food isn't spectacular. It is about what you would expect from a diner-type atmosphere. I know Yours Truly has a special place in a lot of hearts out there, but it is just usually ok in my book. I have had better diner food elsewhere. read more

I love this place. The food is delicious! I highly recommend the Teri Tosser salad. The outdoor patio is a nice touch. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, which is important to me. I've been here at least half a dozen times, and have never had a problem with the service. I think the pricing is fair. The only thing keeping me from giving this place five stars is the wait time. Sometimes it takes a little longer than I would expect from a restaurant like this. I will definitely continue to eat here. read more

On my way back from Omaha to my home state of Massachusetts (the land of Massholes and middle fingers a-plenty) we looked on Yelp for the perfect breakfast place, and lo': we found it here at Yours Truly. The menu was extensive and we both ordered omelettes. They were fluffy and filling and they certainly didn't skip on the ingredients. I liked that we could substitute home fries or toast for a fruit cup or grapefruit. Our hostess was very friendly and seemed happy to accommodate our request for tea. Our server was good enough but perhaps she had been there too long as she just didn't seem to have as much spring in her step as the hostess. One of the owners was there to help seat people and help out with checking on our food, which is great to see! If I ever stop by a Yours Truly again and it is just as nice, then five stars it will be! For the price you're paying, the food seemed good and you have a lot of choices. I also really liked the atmosphere as well; cozy and Christmas-y without being in your face. read more

Nice place right off the towpath. Food wasn't out of this world, but it was good. They serve smoothies and your basic food items. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and coleslaw, both were good. They also have a nice patio you can eat out on. I'll continue to come here, more for the convenience of being right off the towpath, but again the food was solid. read more

No, no, no, no, no. Every time a work colleague or friend wants to meet here this is what I want to say, but I always go anyways. I eat the over priced egg salad sandwich or the lackluster over priced pancakes, dry bread sandwich or runny omelet and try to enjoy the cool location, but I would never pick to come here. No. I'm sorry. I really held off writing this review, but after so many visits and signing checks for lack luster food, I'm speaking up and saying no next time. This is obviously my person opinion because people love this place, but since so many people love it, they can find someone else to meet them instead of yours truly. read more

I was very upset after arriving to this restaurant only to find out we'd be turned away. Me and my girlfriend have a dog and came to get breakfast while on vacation. I called ahead to make sure that they had outdoor seating and could accommodate our dog. They said it would be fine. We arrived and I put in our name for a table as 2 + a dog for the patio. We waited for 20 minutes only to have the manager come out and tell us we are not welcome to eat there because of our dog. I believe it would have been fine if we had a small fluffy dog, but because we had a pitbull, they decided to discriminate. Our dog is extremely well behaved and that was obvious read more

It was a typical diner but with less food options. I don't think I would go back. I ordered a burger in hopes that it would be served with fries, but it was only the burger. I don't think I would go back. read more

Food quality, services and price were awesome!! Strongly recommend 'the Sunrise' for breakfast!! Truly enjoyed!!

My burger was delicious. My entire family wanted it. This location was nice. The kids liked it. Our server was outstanding. Although we are visiting the area, we would consider eating here again when we return. read more

Sunday breakfast before the game and it was a pleasant experience. The food was quality and served hot. I had the sunrise breakfast which was good. The atmosphere family friendly. Definitely recommend and will visit again. read more

Great menu with several vegetarian options. The service is fast and friendly. Most items are scratch made (hummus, veggie burger). Family owned and operated. Very consistent. We had the hummus and two veggie burgers. All very flavorable. We also had sauted spinach and onions. read more

order a caesar salad spent 8.50 what a rip off lettuce a few croutons not filing at all .. will never order there again beachwood location.. horrible portions they really should be ashamed of that portion. never get my service again.. disappointed shameful they would serve that read more

Great location near the towpath but overall not impressive. I ordered a burger with fries. I don't remember which burger exactly but it came with cheese, bacon, and pickles. No lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing else on the plate. It was okay but it seems to me that if you order a burger at some place that serves it on a plate instead of in a bag, you should get all the stuff to put on it. Basic stuff. The fries were those weird food service round disks. Okay but not great. My friend got the sliders and was full at the end of the meal but not overly impressed. She ordered cole slaw which was, to our amazement, the best part of the meal. It was really good. The cole slaw. Beers cost $3.50 domestic, $4.50 import. read more

My husband, son and I come to YT about once a week. The servers are very sweet and the food is AMAZING!!! Omelettes are so big and fluffy and the veggies are fresh and plentiful. The portions are big and their prices are very reasonable. Their coffee is the best I've ever had in a restaurant. I also recommend the Tuscan Chicken wrap. It is amazing with their sweet potato french fries. read more

The setting at this yours truly is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and create a great energy. The veggie omelet is delicious and cottage fries are a great side with the omelet. We had a quick fresh breakfast this morning and enjoyed a hot coffee with cinnamon. Always a go to for breakfast or lunch. The sante fe omelet is really good as well. read more

Enjoyable atmosphere right on the canal. The old style diner feel is great. Very affordable and the omlets are great.

We were staying in Independence and looking for something local, cheap and with lots of options. This place definitely did the trick. This was actually my second time here and both have been super good. We weren't super hungry so we got the soup and sandwich/soup and salad option and it was the perfect size. I had the chicken noodle soup, which tasted like home. I also upped my salad and went with a cesar. I wasn't a huge fan of the amount of pink peppercorns, but it was good nonetheless and much larger than expected. At our table we also had the chicken salad sandwich, which was very fresh with apples and grapes. We also had their version of loaded fries which were really good! I like the flat shape of the potatoes and they sucked in the flavor really well. In addition to the food, the people here were great. You could tell it was a local-home-type place and I would definitely go back. read more

Came here on Mother's Day with my cousin ,hoping to have some good breakfast, but I end up not eating because the waitress misheard what I ordered . I ordered what was called the Sun Toast on the menu , and that was suppose to be French Toast with powdered sugar and some kind of meat on the side . What I got was the Sun Fest, which came with two eggs , toast , and a bowl of fruits . I was dissatisfied at that moment, because I'm not a fan of fruits and I have to have meat so I can be full , but there was none of that on my plate, so I ask to look at the menu again just to make sure what I ordered was correct. I told the waitress that she can just cancel my order. She then asked if I wanted to order something else , but I told her "no because it took a whole thirty minutes just to bring a bowl of fruits with some toast and two eggs out. I don't want to wait any longer " . After that the manager came over to apologize and asked if I was sure that I didn't want to order anything else . I felt bad that the manager had to come, but It wasn't a big problem or anything . I'm satisfied that they manage to have a manager like that . Hopefully , next time there will be a waitress that will repeat my order just in case of miscommunication, because I really want to come back and see what this place have to offer . read more

I've been a Yours Truly frequenter for the past three years, so well that they usually know my favorite spot to sit. The atmosphere is very nice, with the nature surroundings making the meal much more calm. The ability to go for a walk or bike along the Towpath trail then get a meal is invaluable. The service is quick and friendly, though there are often mishaps with being charged regular price during happy hour or being wrongly charged, but that gets cleared up quickly. As for the food, there is a great selection of burgers, broils, etc. that are all reasonable in price and taste delicious. My favorite meal is the Buckeye Bacon Broil with an order of Cottage Fries and a Dr. Pepper, which will run you about $12 (around $10 during Happy Hour). I usually go during Happy Hour, which is 3-5 pm and 8 pm or later, where soft drinks are a dollar and broils/burgers are only six dollars. Yours Truly also can host events, as my sister's wedding rehearsal was hosted for roughly 25 people with a potpourri of food. Also, every Monday is a kids night, where children can be brought in and can play or do crafts, etc. Overall, Yours Truly is one of my favorite places to eat. It is reasonable priced, clean, and the food is always very good. read more

I love this place. The food is fantastic with great variety. The people that work there are extremely friendly. I love the culture of family there. I visit this location at least once a week. Its a must visit! read more

The omelet s were fluffy, fresh ground coffee, friendly waitstaff & gluten free toast.

Love this place it's food is always fantastic. Great breakfast and lunch. The kill it skillet is delicious, so are the waffles. They have real malts served with tin cup. Sweet potato fries and sliders are wonderful too. Excellent atmosphere inside like 50's diner, and outside patio by the tow path is beautiful. read more

I frequent this location pretty regular basis. It's clean, affordable, and they make the tastiest Eggs Bruschetta. My only complaint is the service can be slow. If you are going for lunch make it a long one because you won't get back to work in under an hour. read more

Seriously doubt you will find a better breakfast in the Cleveland area. The ambiance is nice, friendly waitresses, and the portions large. The hashbrowns are particularly good. read more

Ok not great. Average diner-style food. Nothing special, good for picky or boring eaters. Not the best place for foodies.

Nice little place with that diner feel feel to it. This was our first trip to this chain and we went there by chance. It was just my wife and I and we were looking for something with a more relaxed setting. We knew it was good for us when we walked in and foundation kids play area near the front door. Meals were fairly priced and everything was good and served hot. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because there really wasn't anything exceptional about it. Just good food at good prices with good service. read more

Stopped here this afternoon while on a towpath bike ride. They were very busy. We asked for an outdoor table and the hostess/waitress saw that a table was just vacated so she went over herself and quickly cleaned it for us. She was very accommodating about an allergy issue and was just great throughout. For the most part we really enjoyed our food; I just didn't care for the wafer fries too much. It is a casual diner-type atmosphere. read more

Met a friend for brunch last Saturday & was totally disappointed in not only the level of service but the quality and taste of the food. The omelette center was runny and uncooked and the extra side of "peppered bacon" greasy and under-cooked. The noise level was HIGH and a chaotic environment topped it off. I remember the first Yours Truly that opened in Shaker - now, that was service & good food! Rockside location needs quality control ... read more

Love this place! Good service, great food, we always recommend it. In fact, we drive 20 minutes, every week to come here!

This place was great. The food and service were spot on and the patio over looking the canal was very relaxing. Will definitely be visiting this place again the next time we are near. read more

After a long hard night I woke up and went with the gang to Your's Truly for breakfast. I had a Greek omelet and awesome coffee! The staff was pleasant and I left feeling like a new woman. Thank you Your's Truly! read more

Providing an exceptionally refreshing respite from the woodsy workout of the towpath, Yours Truly--just a quick ten or so steps up from the trees to the cozy patio--astonishes. It is the epitome of I-know-why-the-old-folks-flock-here comfort food. Cheap drinks ($6 vodka-enriched summer limeade packs an unexpected punch--though it was a tad too tart for your reviewer) and scrumptious meals (looking at you textured/tasty veggie burger wrap--wouldn't have known you were a frozen patty affair had the server not unwittingly disclosed it) combine to create the perfect forest lunch. The foodstuffs are served hot and appear surprisingly swiftly, particularly the fried artichokes which were the perfect synthesis of juicy and crispy-rich. It should be noted that dogs aren't allowed on the patio, a rule enforced with an iron fist, though some hungry hikers got their grub to go and munched outside of the awning at benches in the sunlight. This sad dissing of Fido aside, however, YT's patio is a perfect fair weather perch for ravenous, (and God forbid) spandex-clad bipeds. read more

Some friends and I had breakfast here a few weekends ago. We sat outside and it was very pleasant with a light breeze. It has a great outside spot. The meal was good and cooked to order. My only comment would be the rye toast was a little too hard, maybe toasted a bit too much. But other then that the eggs were perfect as well as everything else. The food seemed to take a while to come out though. The service could have been a little better (but the girl was very nice) and I have had much worse service at other high class dinner restaurants. I am planning to take a friend there soon while the leaves are changing colors. read more

I love Yours Truly. I've been to a few of the locations and have had great service too. However, the staff at the Independence location are never friendly. I order food from them a lot during lunch and I never get a "hello" or "how are you?" Or even a "how can I help you?" when I'm waiting on a pick up. They usually walk up with my food and ask my name and say thanks. I don't think many have even looked me in the eye. Even a manager walked by me and nothing. Food is good but they need to work on their people skills a lot more. read more

Went to Yours truly for dinner before a movie around the corner with a few friends. I thought the decor inside was so cute. A modern day diner- just a little cleaner :) The service was great.. The waitress knew we were trying to make a movie and since everyone came after work, we all arrived a bit late after being stuck in rush hour- cutting into the time we gave ourselves for eating. But she was great- she made sure she expedited our order and was attentive, friendly, and provided fast service! The food was also great! We all shared the Lotso Notso fries- they're basically little potato homefries smothered in cheese- what's not to like about it?? I LOVE breakfast for dinner, so I was glad I had the option of that along with a HUGE menu of regular food items. I got the Killit Skillet without the bacon or sausage and it was delicious! The food is reasonably priced as well! I know I'll be returning to YT for dinner and probably a few hungover breakfasts! (I'll probably try another location closer to home - hope they live up to this location)! read more

Yours Truly is an excellent restaurant, and it really has that classic diner feel, but with a modern twist. The interior theming is a modern interpretation of a 1950s style diner, and it's very unique. Their menu features classic American foods, along with excellent breakfast options, and some more unique items. There are lots of healthy options available for those who don't like burgers and fries, and the menu really has a lot to offer to everyone. One of my personal favorites is the turkey reuben, which is really a great sandwich, and is one of the best turkey reubens that I've ever had. The wonderful views of the Cuyahoga River, the outdoor patio, and the direct access to the towpath are all huge assets to Yours Truly, and visitors of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cleveland Metroparks often stop by for a bite to eat while taking a trip down the towpath. Yours Truly is a great choice for a nice meal with family or friends, and I highly recommend it. read more

Had the chicken salad platter for lunch today with a side of sweet potato fries and it was horrible. What a disappointment.

Considering how many times I've eaten here, I can't believe I haven't written a review by now! The nutshell version is- I really enjoy coming to this place. It has a diner feel, but with what I consider to be a little better quality than your average diner. I always sit up at the bar and get great service by the women up there. On a typical Saturday late morning, it wouldn't be uncommon for their to be at least 5 screaming children, which is why I try to get there a little earlier on weekends. I've ordered off their lunch and breakfast menu, and I have to say I enjoy the breakfast the most, even though their burgers are pretty solid. My favorite thing to order is probably the eggs benedict- they serve it pretty traditionally with English muffins and Canadian bacon, and I'm never disappointed. Overall, I just like the feel of this place, as well as the consistency. I think it's a good place for a casual lunch meeting, or a weekend brunch. read more

The food here is really good. I don't know why, but I love diner food. I was up here yesterday and ordered the Palermo, but instead I got some omelette with mushrooms and tomatoes. I was so hungry, I didn't even bother saying anything and ate it anyways. I got hash browns and a side of rye toast with it. It absolutely hit the spot. The hash browns weren't as greasy and salty and I like them, but my cardiovascular system is thankful for that. We sat at the counter and our server was attentive and nice. I was here back in May of last year, and it was a great experience too. They also sell beer and wine. I will be back. read more

My wife and I love this place for breakfast. You can't beat the atmosphere if you enjoy a small diner - like place. We often stop by while biking on the trail and it has some outdoor seating during good weather. The lunch and dinner menu is good as well but I prefer the breakfast offerings. The service has always been great as well. read more
