    Big party of 16 for dinner. Probably biggest they could seat together. Service was good. Server was fast, food came out in waves since they have small kitchen & only a couple small hiccups. Food was mostly good. I didn't love the coleslaw (apple vinegar style) but they let me swap for another side. Burgers, salmon, chicken paprikas, dinner gyro salad & county fried steak were well received. Fresh cut fries were super delish - like the fair. White bean chicken chili was a good special soup. Value for most was pretty decent except the burrito bowls. Price too high for the size & 2 of our guests didn't love the burrito. Good visit overall!

    Yessss to the best GF pancakes I've ever tasted!!!! Omelette did not disappoint and their 'build your board' board at the table is THE BEST! I'm Sally at the customization of ordering so being able to select everything (including the most-best 'well-done' hash browns! We will be back 100%!

    Small place with limited menu!! Fish & fries were very good!!! Cheeseburger & Onion Rings also very good!!! Had to drink out of jars with no straws!! Delivery not there yet!!! Waitress very friendly & patient!! Nice clean place with nice decor!! Recommend if you don't mind limited menu!!!

    On the left is a stuffed green pepper and on the right is the pesto chicken (mine).  Rounding out these are fries and pita with hummus.

    A recent review describes this small cafe - Check Please - as a gem. I'd say that comes fairly close. A friend who lives in this metro area is always willing to make the drive to Grafton, OH to eat here. And that includes bumbling down these quasi-country roads to get here. I had always assumed that Check Please did a breakfast-lunch business. They do, but they stay open for all three meals, closing at 8:00 p.m. I am impressed with how they navigate covering the traditional basics for these meals in addition to coming up with some more creative menu items. However, they get their name from these paper checklists on the table, along with colored pencils and paper tablecloths, on which you can customize breakfast platters, sandwiches, and salads, at the very least. (Some people will obviously want to scribble on the paper table cloth, too.) And, on top of this, they come up with some innovative spins on home made traditional desserts, should you have room for that. Every now and then, you should make room! This is more than a restaurant in that it approaches a cafe-bistro style even though its exterior definitely looks more "mom and pop." The food at Check Please is excellent. The ingredients that go into what they make appear to be top drawer, both fresh and locally sourced. The service is also excellent - customer focused, amicable, and effective. If you have a refillable drink, they will see to it that it is refilled as you go along. The pricing is fair. You would not expect to find an eatery like Check Please on a two-lane road south of the Ohio Turnpike. The other thing that's funny is that there will be an "interesting" intersection of people here, since this is at the edge of a metro area, in a small town with farms around it, and near Oberlin College, which always makes the list of the 10 or 20 most liberal small colleges in America. Lena Dunham, who I dislike, speaks to that and is an alumna. What this means is that its customers will span a wide gamut of ideologies. Get off the turnpike and drive down to Check Please. This place is a great find.

    Love eating here because you know the ingredients are the best quality and many items are made in house.

    Cajun bacon, it was clearly burnt. I sent it back and it came back barely edible. The staff was very friendly.

    The staff was friendly and the service was good. The food was just ok. I ordered a side of the Cajun bacon, it was inedible. I had them make it again, the waitress said it's dark because of the seasonings used. No it's burnt!

    Food was fresh, served to order, and the Red Cedar coffee was amazing!!! Service was fast and so well done. The decor is farmhouse and very quaint. Cozy atmosphere. Glad we found this place, we will be back.

    I placed a phone order at this quaint little breakfast diner in Grafton. I was pleasantly surprised but the charms and kitchy ambiance it had to offer. They offer your traditional breakfast foods along with healthier options like sides or fruit as well as avocado toast. They also have a soup and sandwich menu as well as traditional entrees. I appreciate that they offer dine in, delivery, or pick up. I ordered the avocado toast with a side of home fries and sausage patty's. The avocado toast did not come with butter or anything on it which would have been nice and the avocado was over ripe slices. The home fries were sliced potatoes with skin which was a nice surprise. The sausage was a little bit spicey and the fruit was nicely diced.

    Yes! Good food, great service. Will definitely be back. They have an extensive gluten free and keto friendly menu. I got the parm crusted chicken with zucchini noodles and a keto biscuit. I am gluten free and very happy with my meal.

    Food is pretty basic diner fare. The coffee, however, is awful. It tastes like a cup of hot water. Consistently. No other complaints.

    Theyre food is fantastic. Just basic small town restaurant food but always very tasty…read more Half of burgers on Wednesdays. Gyros are a family favorite and my daughter always gets the grilled chicken sandwich on croissant. The 4 stars is due to poor servers (not attentive or professional) and the restaurant seeming not as clean as it should be for a place they cook/serve food.

We parked around the corner on the street and upon arrival, we were told to seat ourselves. This place gives off diner vibes with friendly waitresses and older clientel. The menu offered a good variety. I requested Mountain Dew and my wife had water. I requested the cod dinner with a potato pancake. My wife requested the chicken sandwich with a side of home fries. About 10 minutes later, our food was delivered. It was hot and looked tasty. My potato pancake was delicious and I dipped it in the yummy sour cream. My cod was delicious! So were the french fries! My wife liked her chicken sandwich and gave me what she couldn't eat. She also gave me some of her hash browns. Her dinner was also very tasty. This is a solid diner and we'll stop in again if we're ever in this area. Very good food, very good service.

    Jade Owl Cafe is a very cute coffee shop/cafe/breakfast place located on Lorain Road in a free…read morestanding building that can be easy to miss as it kind of blends in with the surroundings. Parking can be challenging, there is a very small lot in front with 2 regular spaces and 1 handicap space; plus there are several spots on the street, all of which were full. I ended up parking on the nearby side street by the Burger King. Inside the cafe there are two distinct sides, the right side is set up as a coffee shop with the service counter, some high top tables and some comfortable seating; the left side is set up as a dining area with a bar. The decor is bright and modern with some touches of whimsy, overall very nice and comfortable, the kind of place you can relax and take your time. The menu is set up with a number of categories: breakfast, paninis, salads, wraps, flatbreads, wafflesicles and drinks. Prices are reasonable and there are some interesting items. I had a certificate for $20 so I ordered the Smashed Egg Avocado Bagel, the Bang Bang Shrimp Wrap and a big Chocolate Chip Cookie. The staff was great getting the certificate redeemed and guiding me through the menu. The food came out in a very timely manner, presentation was simple and straightforward. I had plenty of food for a very nice lunch. The egg and avocado bagel was interesting, the bagel was a bit soft for my preference, it was topped with a generous spread of egg and avocado mix plus some fresh spinach leaves. A very nice and healthy breakfast sandwich, a bit milder in flavor then I prefer, but good. The shrimp wrap was a good sized flour wrap around cold cooked shrimp with shredded cabbage and a great spicy sauce that perfectly complimented the wrap. This was excellent, the cool meaty shrimp contrasting with the crunchy cabbage and the zippy creamy sauce. I would highly recommend this if you like a bit of spice. The warm cookie was a great way to finish my lunch, very soft and gooey, packed with high quality chocolate chunks. About the only issue I had with the cookie was that it was hard to eat with just my hands, I ended up using the fork for most of the cookie. Jade Owl Cafe is a great local place to grab some high quality food, pastries and drinks. It is woman and minority owned, very well thought out and executed. The food is fresh and tasty, service was great and the overall experience was just what you could expect from a cafe. If you are in the area give them a try.

    Well isn't this place cute! There about two parking spots in front, as well as some street parking…read more There are two sides of the cafe: coffee & bar. You enter in and pick which mug you'd like your drink to be served in. I thought this was a super fun concept! (I tried not to think of other germy hands touching my cup though haha). I got a cappuccino which was tasty. And I got a s'mores waffsicle, which was so delicious! We sat on the bar side because there were plenty of clean tables over there. (One table was very cold and drafty so watch out hahah) Service was slow; I think maybe only two people were working. There was a giant garage door which will be so nice to have open in nicer weather!! We were also wondering if the mugs will be switched out for glasses when it's iced coffee season! We didn't have kids with us, but noticed some kids toys, a high chair, and changing table in the bathroom available making this place a kid friendly option! Overall, I would definitely come back !
