Mary, the owner runs the front of the house along with the only server, Sarah. They are the nicest people you could ever meet. Mary is a fanatic for cleanliness. The place is always spotless. Mary's husband Oscar runs the kitchen. As a matter of fact, he is the entire kitchen, all by himself. He does a fantastic job. I have never had to wait for my order. It is always hot and taste great. The dining room is really small. Maybe 10 or 12 tables. Always filled with regulars. But if you show up they'll find room for you. Oh, by the way, they only take cash. There's an ATM on premises. Give Crazy Eggs a try. You'll enjoy it.

That fried chicken took us all the way back. We're old school, and that's exactly how fried chicken is supposed to taste--perfectly seasoned, incredibly flavorful, juicy on the inside, and fried to a golden, crispy crunch. It was absolutely phenomenal. The waffles were just as impressive--light, flavorful, and cooked to perfection with an amazing texture. Every bite was on point. The experience was so good that I knew I had to bring my husband back because he's a huge chicken and waffles fan. It was his first time there, and without fail, he had the exact same reaction. From the first bite, he was sold. He absolutely loved it. When a restaurant delivers that kind of quality to an entire group and then exceeds expectations again on a return visit, you know it's the real deal. From the food to the service, it was an easy 5-star experience. We'll definitely be back!

Food came out cold, eggs were undercooked/RAW and could not even be consumed. Home fries were undercooked and hard. Toast didn't come out until ten minutes after everything else, our plates were barely touched. I could understand if they were busy, but when we left there was less than 10 people.

Manhattan deli in Willoughby has been without air conditioning for almost a month. The coolers have…read morefailed, with air filters that had not been changed in two years. Some of the coolers have been fixed, but it isn't known how well they are doing in today's heat. Food was thrown out, once at the direction of the health department. The cooks have worked in 140 degree temperatures. People have passed out. A minor threw up because of the heat and was told they couldn't go home. Someone suffered an asthma attack and had to be admitted to the hospital and then was guilted and threatened to come in the next day. OSHA has been out, but no one could tell that the "fixes" failed because the weather wasn't hot. The active complaint number is # 2448729. The lake county health inspector has been out and notified again. But they are there to protect capital. To minimize the risks of lawsuits, but to keep the doors open. Basically to help protect the owners from their own selfish nature. A manager told an employee that if they shut down because of the heat, where would they replace $7000? The employees health is valued less than that. Please share this wherever you can. I can't track down all the people who may have been exposed to contaminated food. I can't talk to every employee that was sickened because revenue was more important than their health. I don't want the restaurant to close, I want tough enough consequences that it is cheaper for them to take care of their employees at work than it is to ignore them.

A Great Find After a Tough Day!…read more I was near Cleveland yesterday for my uncle's funeral, and afterward, our group decided to grab some lunch before making the drive back to Columbus. I opened up Yelp to see what was nearby, and The Wright Place caught my attention. It had some decent reviews and, more importantly, a menu that looked really good! Since we had a larger group, we ended up sitting outside on the patio--and honestly, we couldn't have asked for better weather. The patio is large and has plenty of sports decorations, several TVs, and even a bar right in the center. Definitely a great spot to relax and grab some food. We were greeted by Kim, who was friendly, welcoming, and got our orders going quickly. Kim mentioned that sandwiches and burgers are where they really shine, so I knew exactly what I was getting. I went with The Wright Burger, an 8-ounce burger cooked medium-rare and topped with Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, and mushrooms. The burgers come with chips, but I opted for the fresh-cut fries instead. My wife went with the chicken bourbon wrap, with the sauce on the side just in case it wasn't her thing. Others in our group ordered burgers, and someone got the corned beef sandwich--which looked REALLY good. I may have to go back just to try that one! Now, back to that burger... it was HUGE! I could barely finish it, but I gave it my best shot. I did have to admit defeat when it came to some of the fries, though. All in all, The Wright Place was a great find. Good food, friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere, and a big outdoor patio that was perfect on a beautiful day. If you're in the area and looking for good food and friendly people, check out The Wright Place--you'll thank me later!

Started the day right with a margarita, and yes it passed the test I would have had two but I had things to do lol. My favorite of the two where the sliders. The sauce on the chicken wasn't too spicy, for it being a hot honey. The Corn beef egg roll were good, but of course I just didn't read well enough to see it came with potatoes in them which was different (I'm not a big potato fan) but they were interesting I would absolutely recommend trying them they came with a 1000 island sauce but I used a spicy ranch dressing awesome match! Will for sure be back!

I frequently long for a restaurant with homestyle meals. That type of meal seems long forgotten…read more Like a proper meal with potatoes and bread (that's my Eastern European soul speaking). Joe's Avenue Eatery excels at this serving hearty soups, roasts, meatloaf, chicken paprikash, and other hearty dishes. I've visited the restaurant after my first time years ago. I should have returned sooner, dinner was so delicious. AMBIANCE: The place feels like you're dining in someone's spacious kitchen while watching TV (college sports). The place is simple, vintage but somehow very homey. It's great for dining solo and in groups. Various seating options like tables and booths are available. The crowd tends to be older. The people who dine here actually look at each other and not their phones. The multi course meal makes you also slow down and properly enjoy dinner. FOOD: The menu has multiple pages of meals that would appeal to any taste. They have all day breakfast, seafood, sandwiches, stir fry, pastas, burgers, wraps, soups, and more. Everything that I tried on the menu is really good and tastes homemade. My most recent order was Fork Tender Pork Roast Dinner ($16.99). The meal is a fantastic value. It comes with a side, veggies, bread roll, one visit to the salad and soup bar, free dessert (if you dine in). I first visited salad and soup bar selecting chicken soup from two options (the other was veggie). The soup was perfectly hot but at the end of the pot (not much chicken). It still tasted homemade and hearty. Pork roast was one of the best pot roasts I've ever tasted, meat was perfectly tender. Gravy was just delicious and plenty. The roll was still warm. Mashed potatoes were a bit chunky but that added to their homestyle charm. The entire meal just made me so warm and cozy. I took about half of my meal to go, it was pretty big serving. But really it's because I wanted to leave room for my favorite dessert - spumoni ice cream. I think of this ice cream often. It's served with whip cream, chocolate drizzle, and contains very tasty nuts. I can't wait to eat the rest of my meal at home. The eatery has plenty of specials for weekends and weekdays. If you dine between 2-5 PM on Monday-Thursday, you can get $11.99 meal. That includes tasty options like Grilled Pork Chop, Beef Liver & Onions, Polish Sausage with Pepper and Onions, and others. I really enjoyed Beef Liver & Onions. I miss a good place the can prepare liver as an Eastern European. Amazingly even $11.99 meal includes a trip to salad and soup bar. SERVICE: The service was top notch especially considering that the dining floor was served by two waitresses. My waitress Lisa was so attentive to all customers and so pleasant. Honestly five star service. I look forward to the next meal here and already re-reading the menu to plan my next hearty dinner. I saw Chicken Paprikash on their weekend specials list on the way out. I'm a huge chicken paprikash addict so it might be my next meal. I highly recommend checking out this eatery with your family for a homestyle meal and meaningful conversation.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go to breakfast this morning because the City of Willoughby (in…read moretheir infinite wisdom) decided to block off the entirety of downtown for a festival. So no one could reach the downtown businesses. So on my way home I came across "Cafe Europa and Bistro" in the Pineridge shopping plaza. It's a small storefront in the middle of the plaza, run by a European family - husband, wife, and son. When I walked in I was a bit surprised that the place was entirely empty because the parking lot was nearly full. The son greeted me warmly and told me to choose any table. He brought me water (spring water) and a menu. We chatted a little. I read the short, very to the point, breakfast menu. And settled on the "Healthy Breakfast". The young man was exceedingly friendly and kept up a running conversation the entire time. His mother was in the kitchen preparing my breakfast. And the entire thing took on a surreal feeling as if I was in the kitchen of their home as a guest. A marvelously fresh breakfast appeared very shortly thereafter and I began my breakfast, as the running conversation (admittedly a bit one sided) continued. An oversized mug of excellent coffee appeared quickly that really was excellent. Time flew by and before I knew it I was reading to leave. The young man asked if I would like a ginger shot, on the house before I left. I thanked him but said no. I paid my $16 bill and after a few pleasantries, departed. All in all it was an unusual experience. Excellent food, good service, nice people... but maybe a little too personal... maybe? I don't know. It was just different. I guess I would just say you should give it a try and see what you think.
