Checked the shopping strips for a good lunch place, and we found it. Bay diner is not too big, and not too expensive. The staff is friendly. We sat at the counter and enjoyed chatting with our waitress Kaylee. She filled my coffee cup, and took our plates when finished. We both had the chicken salad on croissant. My friend had a good portion of tator tots. I had the sweet cole slaw. Everything was delicious. The large menu has breakfast and lunch items served until 2:30. Wooden booths are on the side. Diner tables are in the middle. Quaint. read more

We originally went out looking for a coffee shop, then saw the Bay Diner. We had never been so decided to stop in. It was busy the entire time we were there. The wait was about 20, exactly what staff told us. We were seated in a comfortable booth and service was quick. I appreciate coffee in a diner mug. The coffee was good. It was served with dried coffee dripped down the side. My husband and oldest enjoyed their meals. The sausage omelette was made well and the pancakes were fluffy. My oldest liked the squeeze bottle of syrup. There were no true vegan options. I did end up with tater tots and fruit for my meal. Overall it was a cute diner and seemed to be very popular on a Sunday morning. There was plenty of parking. The Bay Diner is located in a strip mall. read more

Very fun Midwest small town vibes! Decore of Bay through the years and fun vintage license plates! Their service is always excellent! Very attentive throughout the day! The food is actually really good (the tots are crispy and golden brown) I got the Club sandwich! Very good! Lots of meat! My cousin got the Cobb salad and she really enjoyed it and was impressed by the chicken in it! they close at 2:30 but it's definitely worth it, run by good people, and the clientele is kind as well! read more

Carpet. Not in a restaurant. Eggs weren't done right, either. Toast was cold. All was not good. Service was great, tho!

Looking for a diner type breakfast on a Sunday morning and happened upon this little gem. Nothing crazy but very solid breakfast items. Service was quick and friendly. It was quite busy but we never felt rushed. Ordered the corned beef hash breakfast and the biscuit & sausage gravy breakfast. Everything was great and both came with 2 eggs and toast. Sausage gravy came with hash browns as well. Everything came out piping hot. Will throw this place into our weekend breakfast rotation. read more

Best biscuits and gravy hands down! The first thing I noticed was the food was served piping hot. I appreciate this because of if not I send it back to have it heated up. The biscuits are fluffy and hot! The gravy is delicious! I got an order of sausage links on the side. They were cooked perfectly and again hot! Service was top notch with very nice & genuine people. Also the coffee is good for a diner coffee. read more

It's all good, got a huge breakfast for a great price, awesome home fries, friendly, ample parking

Food was delicious. Service was spot on. Crowded, but friendly people all around making recommendations.

Bay Diner has wonderful service (Kaylee was our server). She was attentive and got our food to us about 12 minutes after ordering. The food was great along with the presentation of the food. The chairs were worn out and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The root beer was thick, a lot sweeter than it was supposed to be, and flat (the brand was mug). the overall Diner was clean and it was an enjoyable environment. Bay Diner was truly amazing and I hope to be back soon. read more

Yum! Don't let the strip mall storefront scare you. Fresh, hot and great food and service. The Bay Diner is setting up and has perfected social distancing. Cleaning between guests with condiments per table. Great food, great service and tater tots what else can you ask for! read more

The Bay Diner is the only diner on the West side I frequent. It's exactly what you would expect for a no-frills breakfast spot. They have all the usuals. I love the Western omelette with crispy hash browns. The sausage patty is also a savory treat. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. It is basic and clean ambiance. Sometimes the hash browns are a little burnt (my only complaint). I love that they are so fast. It's in a mini shopping plaza. Will be back again. read more

Bay Diner - Kids meals - American Near Me - Bay Village, Ohio

We love Bay Diner! We've been coming here for years, and are never disappointed with the service, food, and classic diner ambiance and value. We usually come for breakfast and order omelets, pancakes, waffles, etc., and everything tastes great! Frankly, I love to 'diner hop', and have tried most if not all of the great diners in NE Ohio. Places like Bay Diner, Joe's, George's Kitchen, Gene's Place, Blue Sky, City Diner, Gray Dog Diner, Borderline Cafe, Gina's Place, etc. These great longtime eateries are owned and run by local families, and charge less than the national chains. Long live diners/family restaurants, and may they dot the American landscape forever! read more

Love coming here with my parents. Chill spot. Always packed and I love seeing a small business getting that WORK. Food isn't memorable but who cares it's breakfast make it yourself if you want read more

Bay Diner - a breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes - American Near Me - Bay Village, Ohio

My class recently took a field trip to Bay Diner following our lecture and instruction on, "Food Critics and Restaurant Reviews." The group had wonderful things to say which included excellent customer service, bang for your buck with the food value, the food taste was excellent, and the food delivery was timely and hot. Some things they also observed were: the furniture needs to be upgraded (tears in the seats, wobbly tables) the bathrooms needs a bit of attention (rusty faucets, floors a bit dirty, poor soap quality) We had a lovely lunch and hope to visit again.

Great traditional breakfast food with a variety of omelets. It's smaller so expect a wait but it's worth it.

We were in from out of town and made the selection based on yelp reviews. It is the kind of local place we love to go to. The place is small we had a very short wait. The place is popular based on the volume at the time 8:30 a.m. We split banana walnut waffle with, hash browns with cheese onion and jalapeño, all of it was great. $31.00 for breakfast for two, sold!!! Would definitely go back if in the area. Highly recommend !! read more

Great little diner. Busy but worth the wait. Food and service were very good. Good portions. You won't leave hungry!

Ate there today for the first time our breakfast were delicious and the pancakes are the best I've had. Our server was efficient and very upbeat and friendly. We are going to become regulars!. If you like small town diners you'll love it. Only suggestion offer a Vegan option or two, my Sons Vegan and I love it when he joins us. Even an oatmeal bowl with fruit would do. read more

I was in town for a family reunion, me and a couple family members stopped in for breakfast. I can say wasn't disappointed. The diner is small on the inside, but it didn't take to long for us to get seated. The wait staff was nice and the food came out fairly quickly. The food was good and not too pricey. You get more than enough to fill you up. Side note "I like pancakes and I really enjoyed them at Bay Diner". I recommend this place for a could breakfast. read more

Here we go, on the road to fast becoming regulars. This place is a little gem in the heart of Bay off Dover Center. I have no idea how they do their bacon- it's perfect! The servers are the absolute sweetest, the food is fantastic, and it's so clean! One haha for me is there is a sign above the men's restroom. It says "court is in session" and lights up when someone uses the bathroom. Hilarious!! But this place gets a full on 5 star from me. Adorable place and people. :) read more

Nice little find. In an unassuming strip plaza. Nice menu and good value for the money. I ordered a flatbread sandwich, BLTA with tots. And my partner got the tuna melt and tots. As an FYI the tuna does not have onions in it. The flatbread sandwich was good. Lots of bacon, good amount of avocado too. It was large. Same with the tuna melt. Nice size. And tots were really crispy. Staff is friendly. Helpful with the menu and answering questions. Food was good. Good portion. Place seemed steady with customers. Nice variety of couples, families, people eating solo. read more

Great little hole in the wall! Food was good and service was great! Took a bit of a wait on a Saturday morning but worth it!

Great spot . Love coming here . Good food, can't beat the prices and fast service . The cookies at the counter are delicious

I liked this place, but I haven't been here in awhile. They always had good food. I hope to go back.

Perfect spot for breakfast and lunch! The breakfast looked great- I had the Cajun chicken sandwich and fries. It was delicious and most of the meals are around $7-$9. Will go back earlier they serve waffles until 1030 AM and we missed them! read more
