    I've been to Chagrin River a few times but never have I tried the chorizo breakfast tacos until today... SO GOOD. So fresh and tasty. The only reason I docked a point is because it was just so busy, took a while and we had to sit in a tiny booth. Otherwise, service was great and the food was delicious!

    Caesar Salad

    Came here on Sunday for brunch and it was packed. Be prepared to wait, but it was worth it. This was the fluffiest omelet I've had. Portion was massive. The Caesar salad was full of flavor and wasn't too heavy. The potatoes were okay. I should have gotten the crispy ones.

    We did not have a reservation so they took us down the steps and I thought we'd be heading to some really bad tables, however we were right on the edge of the falls. We were the only ones there it was so awesome! Andrew I believe his name was was our server and he was incredible. He answered every question fully he brought us extra things every time we asked, he had our dinner divided in a half because we wanted to split it and he packed our leftovers. He was so helpful. Atmosphere was absolutely awesome as was the food and service.

    OK, let's get down to business. For any of you who follow my posts, you are aware one of my favorite things to do is go out for Fine Dining. Every Saturday night my wife and I join my brother and sister-in-law and we go out to dinner somewhere in the greater Cleveland area. We are always looking for a new experience. And we'll try just about anything. Certainly we have our favorites... Il Venetian is fabulous, Marble Room is fabulous, Cru Uncorked is fabulous, ML Tavern, Gigi's on Fairmount, Artis in Lakewood, and on and on. So many more I can't count them all. I'm always looking. But beyond all that, a guy (or gal) has to have their own "Joint". You have to have a place to go to any time, all the time, no matter how you're feelin', or looking. Your home away from home... you know - "your joint", "your place". Well here's my place. And not just my place. Lot's of people's place. This place is full of regulars. And because of the kind of place it is, new people are being added every day. Now let's get beyond the obvious. The food here is GREAT everyday comfort food. It's not pretentious. It's every day people breakfast, lunch, and dinner food. It's all made from scratch. I sit and watch them make the soup of the day for hours with all fresh ingredients. I watch the young woman that comes in two hours early just to dream up some new recipe and bake the morning muffins. I watched while one of the cooks worked for 3 months, tweaking and tweaking continuously to perfect his own recipe for the pretzel bites. These are dedicated people. And they do it all for their customers. And now the real reason why this is so many people's "Joint". Clearly it's the folks that work here. Somehow, someway, Jim the owner has managed to put together a team of people you just want to be friends with. These are awesome folks. It doesn't take long before they start treating you like family. I've seen it happen over and over. It's not fake. It's not some fancy business model. They're not kidding. It's real. I show up at the Diner anywhere from 2 to 4 times a week. Lot's of people do the same . There's a guy who is there every single day. And I don't care what kind of day you're having or what kind of mood you're in. You will just feel better by the time you leave. It's MAGIC. So if you need a "Joint", or just a good meal and good conversation; do yourself a favor. Stop in to the Chagrin River Diner and experience it for yourself. I'm not kidding you. You'll believe me when you see it. See you there.

    I met up with a friend at Chagrin River Diner on a Wednesday for lunch. It was nice it wasn't crowded. I called a head of time to make sure they could sit us outside and said to just call 15-20 minutes before I arrived to make sure the table was available. It was. I got inside to get seated and no one came up to me for about 5 minutes or so. There was a lady who was kind of looking at me awhile once I came in but never approached me. She came over after waiting awhile and looked like she didn't want to seat me. It was weird. When I sat down the server came right over and took our order. I got the avocado burger and my friend got a large sandwich. It was nice they don't up charge for cheese on the burger and asked if I wanted it. Super nice server and really attentive. Now here's the deal, while I was eating with my friend a bird flew over and crapped on my plate! I was so irritated once I realized but because we were leaving I didn't want to inconvenience the server. I did have the fries and they were good but can't speak on the food unfortunately. I definitely will be back but will be seated outside underneath their awning.

    Had the opportunity to eat breakfast at this local diner in downtown Willoughby. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options, but on our humid morning we opted for indoor. Our party of 3 was seated in a booth and immediately our server was over taking our drink order. I ordered both a regular coffee and a boozy one, which sadly didn't come out with the menu-indicated whipped cream topping. The coffee was strong (both of them) and flavorful. For my entree, I went with the Lunker Jr. which contained eggs, sausage gravy, cheese, and hashbrowns on top of a biscuit. I added a little Frank's Red Hot and honestly loved the meal. My boyfriend and his friend both chose the chorizo breakfast tacos, one with tots on the side and the other with the breakfast hashbrowns. I tried one of the tots and it had an extremely crispy and well-seasoned exterior with a soft and dense interior. It paired well with the chipotle crema he ordered for dipping. They both loved the tacos and said the chorizo was packing some heat.

    Two eggs, sausage patties, Crispy Spuds and dry wheat toast
    Rose K.

    Came here for a breakfast with a colleague who,wanted eggs Benedict. I opted for a traditional sausage and eggs. Mine was very good. The sausage was nice. The Crispy Spuds were crunchy and soft - nice alternate to hash browns. My colleagues egg Benedict sauce looked thin. She said it was ok. The weather was perfect and it was really nice to sit outside ! Our server did a great Job of keeping our coffee full. Will definitely be back.

    Mussels
    Erica B.

    One of my favorite places. Relaxed and comfortable with friendly service. This time I thought I would try the mussels. Keep in mind I used to be an international food blogger! These are some of the Best mussels I have ever had out! Must try! The lobster roll was pretty good. Also worth a try.

    The Sandy Bar was FANTASTIC!  Perfectly cooked and the breakfast potatoes were a special delight.

    DO NOT USE Flowers on the Vine! Be extremely cautious if your FTD order is routed to this florist…read morein Willoughby/Willowick, OH. Both my sister and I ordered funeral flowers for my father-in-law's service--one order placed directly through Flowers on the Vine's website and the other placed through FTD via a local florist. Both orders had the correct funeral home, date, and time. I even emailed Flowers on the Vine the day before the service to confirm receipt. When they responded, they sent the wrong order details--my sister's FTD order--which is how I discovered her arrangement had been routed to the same florist. When I arrived at the funeral home an hour before the service, neither arrangement had been delivered. I called Flowers on the Vine twice, left multiple voicemails, and sent an email. No one answered and I received no return call. The funeral home staff checked all entrances multiple times during the service--no flowers were ever found. After the service began, I finally received an email response and went back and forth with the owner over several emails. While I understand mistakes happen, there were multiple opportunities to fix this situation, and no attempt was made to resolve it proactively. At one point, the owner asked ME what I wanted done--despite the fact that no product or service had been delivered. The obvious answer was a refund, which should not have required my suggestion. The owner claimed she had photo confirmation of delivery. When I requested it, she sent a photo of the outside back door of the funeral home--with NO FLOWERS VISIBLE. This is not proof of delivery. She then stated that drivers are "skittish" about taking photos inside funeral homes, which doesn't explain why there were no flowers in the exterior photo. This is also when I learned deliveries are handled through DoorDash. I was also unable to get a clear answer about whether there were other flower deliveries for the service, which meant we couldn't properly thank other senders. I requested refunds for both orders on January 9. By January 15, no refund had been issued, and the florist my sister ordered through had to call to get the FTD order refunded. After I followed up multiple times with no response, my dad's direct website order was finally refunded on January 18. NEITHER REFUND WAS PROCESSED WHEN PROMISED--only after persistent follow-up (multiple voicemails left and 15+ emails over 9 days). This experience felt disorganized at best and dishonest at worst. The only reason I chose this florist was because they ranked highly in Google search results. If I had not been physically present at the funeral, my family would never have known the flowers were not delivered--which is especially concerning for anyone sending flowers from out of town. Additionally, the business phone number has no identifying voicemail message, calls frequently go unanswered, and communication is extremely unreliable. This was an unacceptable experience during a very sensitive time. I would strongly advise choosing another florist.

She is detail oriented, professional, personable, authentic and has a wonderful personality. People kept telling me before the wedding that things will go wrong on the day of your wedding but Megan was not going to let that happen for the ceremony. When I arrived at the venue Megan had pulled me aside with concerns around the ceremony stage as our flowers were placed with little room left for my wedding dress train. She took control, consulted a friend and already had a solution in place to moved the arrangements around *THIS is what going above and beyond looks like and it doesn't stop there. The florist was waiting for the rest of the wedding party to arrive so they could place the boutonnieres and hand out the corsages but Megan could sense the florist was a bit overwhelmed and jumped right in taking charge letting the florist know it would be no hassle at all for her to take the flowers and pass out/pin herself. During our family portraits Megan had found my husband and I to deliver us our specialty cocktails (which were much needed at this point haha). There are so many other small details I am missing from the phone meetings, vow review beforehand, handling our very loud wedding party during rehearsal and before the wedding ceremony. As for the most important part of the day... the ceremony. The words she read really hit home when you are standing up there ready to say I do and she spoke with such grace it was absolutely beautiful.

We had our main wedding ceremony out of state but mistakenly realized that we needed our marriage license completed by an officiant registered in state, and the courthouse ceremony process is time consuming (requiring an in person appearance to even make the appt, and then only offering times that are during a typical workday to conduct these ceremonies). Megan was able to perform our ceremony very efficiently knowing that we did not want a lengthy process (and were already wedded). We completed the entire condensed ceremony and papers hassle-free and in one sitting. She charges a really competitive price as well (the best I found after inquiring multiple officiants on Yelp). I would highly recommend her if you and your partner are stuck in a tricky situation like ours! Thank you Megan!!!

Customer service like that makes all the difference. Our driver, Dave K, was exceptional. He personally reached out 48 hours in advance to introduce himself, confirm all details, and ask how he could best accommodate our group. That proactive communication immediately gave us confidence. On the day of our event--January 31, 2026, a true winter day in Cleveland--Dave arrived early, which allowed us time to get comfortable with the layout, bring in our food and drinks, connect to Bluetooth, and get settled without feeling rushed. Ice was already provided, which was a great touch. He gave us a professional and thorough safety brief before we hit the road. Throughout our six stops, Dave dropped us off in ideal locations every time. He even took photos for us and made sure we were well taken care of all day. His professionalism, attention to detail, and overall attitude made the experience unforgettable. We had 30 people on a red trolley party bus for a very reasonable $1,068 for the entire trip--an incredible value. I'm pretty sure everyone who drove by us was jealous!
