I got to return to a favorite informal dining place today! I've missed the comfortable booths, friendly owners and servers and the delicious food! I came for lunch, but I chose the 3-egg vegetable omelet off the breakfast menu, served with rye toast. Scrumptious! Thanks to Mariana for her service with a smile. We will be back soon! read more

Chelo’s kitchen - 3-egg vegetable omelet with rye toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Fantastic chivito sandwich loaded with steak, ham, cheese, egg, lettuce, and tomato on a soft hoagie. Steak and eggs were perfectly cooked too. The chorizo burrito was super stuffed and greasy good. Great little comfort breakfast spot. read more

I was there on a recent Saturday morning with a friend. Though the place was packed it was easy to carry on a conversation. The wait staff was very attentive. We both had breakfast, huge tasty omelets with fried potatoes toast and coffee. The place is a tremendous bargain. Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. read more

Outstanding homemade food served by friendly people in a homey environment w original artwork on the walls.

Chelo's is the kind of place that the customers all know the staff name. Its not a big place, and certainly not fancy. But if you are looking for good food, great service and a place you feel like coming back too, time and time again, this is that place. We got the breakfast quesadilla and meat lovers omelet. The portions are always large. The omelet comes with your choice of toast, which we get heavily buttered. You can get a variety of sides and the corned beef hash is pretty good, but today I went with a side of sausage gravy. Everything was great. read more

The whole place smells like fish lost apetite. Very gross. Jusr did not seem clean or ventilated in anyway

This was such an amazing find via Google during my recent trip to Cleveland. Perfect classic diner vibes with amazing service, and even more amazing food. I had the southern skillet and my boyfriend had the Country Boy. Both were amazingly large portions, well seasoned and an all around perfect breakfast to start the day off with. I can't wait to come back to Cleveland and try more dishes off the menu! read more

Great food, nice people and low prices! A great addition to South Euclid! Try it! You won't be sorry!

Great breakfast spot. Probably the best on the east side. Great omelets. Hashbrowns to. Fast friendly service.

A few months ago, my dad brought home an omelet from Chelo's and after tasting it, it was only right that I dine in. Chelo's was busy for breakfast but the servers maneuvered through, taking dine in and takeout orders in a timely fashion. They turned tables over quickly and the food came out way more quickly than I expected with the rush. Even with the quick turnaround, I was not disappointed. The food was hot and extremely fresh. The omelet was perfectly seasoned and loaded with veggies and cheese. I highly recommend upgrading to the loaded hash browns, they were delicious and loaded with onions, peppers, and cheese. The inside of the diner is simple, with decor showing the history of Cleveland as well as the roots of the owner. It's not a huge restaurant but it stays packed for good reason. I will definitely be back again. read more

I came the first time with my son a few months ago. The service was on the spot and the food was delicious, hot,and everything the menu said it would be. Suggested for lunch gathering today. WOW! Again, the service was superb! The food was fantastic and our family had a wonderful experience. read more

Nice first time visit.....friendly hostess to start. Not a huge place , but enough room for diners not to feel cramped. Nice selection of breakfast items to choose from.

Food is good cannot say the same about cleanliness or service I left a review on their website instead of saying sorry to hear you were not satisfied please send us more information so we can follow up I was ridiculed for my comments Great lack of customer service read more

This is a delightful local diner. I enjoy their breakfast, portions are huge. I had only ever come for breakfast but recently ordered a dinner on a Wednesday. So delicious and so much food. I may never cook again on Wednesday. You can see their specials on Instagram. read more

Food is good and hot and they have some of the Best pancakes around... a lot better than the place across the street !

Best family-owned neighborhood restaurant in town. Good food and fun service ... some of my favorite for breakfast are the Chelo skillet and breakfast quesadilla. My husband prefers the traditional breakfast. You can't go wrong with anything at lunch and his dinner specials are so good they sell out. Do yourself a favor and join us! read more

The food is pretty good for what it is .. average diner/family restaurant type fare. No complaints there. The prices overall are fair. However - on our last dine in visit there (granted we have not been here often) we were sat towards the back of the place and we could smell the musty/mildew smell coming from the back room where I believe they wash dishes. Our food was already ordered so we just dealt with it and decided to just ask to not be sat back there in the future. The future was this past weekend and when we walked in we saw a line to wait which stretched to the back of the restaurant - and you guessed it - it totally reeked - could not stand there for even 2 minutes. Would like to return for the food - the service is also excellent - but not until they clean up their act and get that awful stank taken care of. read more

The cutest little restaurant I'm never seen before. I've lived in South Euclid for a long time and never ever notice this bomb ass restaurant super nice and attentive waitresses. The food tasted so good. Definitely comfort food. read more

I got the corned beef dinner delivered to me at my work today and I was not disappointed. Very good, can't wait to try more dishes. To the owners: Chelo you're an amazing chef and Sarah you're doing a great job making everything work like a well oiled machine. Thank you!! read more

Excellent food at a really good prices. Everything there is freshly made. And very good value for your money and tasty. That's the most important thing. Course I've only had a hamburger and corned beef sandwich. You know I had pancakes too. We were all good and you get very good value for your money. read more

Great food and clearly a place that regulars go. Don't go if you are in a hurry but the food is worth the wait!

Comfort food, family style, friendly, warm atmosphere. Simply a nice spot for an affordable meal.

All their hand helds are amazing! The corned beef is as good as any deli. The sides are equally impressive. Wait till you taste the onion rings. Home made soups and deserts will let you know your at the location of a quality chef. Even better than all of the above, on Wednesday and Friday nights he makes dinner specials from Prime Rib to Osso Buco to grilled or fried fish. Each is so good that the only way you can be assured of getting one is to call and order it before they are all gone. I highly recommend this excellent restaurant read more

I was pleased to find that Kalie's Restaurant was open early and located so close to my home. Kalie's is a small restaurant with older booths and mismatching plates. Don't let this deter you. I was very pleased with the experience of a home cooked meal. For example, I thought I'd try out the pancakes. I was so surprised to receive two heaping pancakes that literally took up the entirety of my plate. They were so large I was able to share them with everyone at my table and still had to get a to-go box. Beyond them tasting great, they'd make for a great instagram photo because they are bigger then the size of anyone's face. The waitress was extremely pleasant and attentive. Definitely recommend going to this place for breakfast at least once. read more

Ownership change from Kalies to Chelo's. Best breakfast burrito bar none. Amazing. read more

Not to impressed. Lousy ambience. Extra charges for hash browns. I'll continue my business @ joes. read more

I enjoyed eating the best BLT sandwich ever! The service was prompt and the waiter and waitress were both friendly and helpful. My friends ordered eggs and bacon which were cooked exactly to their liking! I highly recommend this restaurant because you will return. read more

Unassuming diner on Mayfield avenue. I've driven by it a gazillion times and never knew it was here. Some better signage might get some more customers through the door. Very basic economy diner that serves breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and that's about it. It's open 7-2 Monday to Sunday. Not a high volume place. Only one waitress working. Lunches are about 10 bucks out the door. They were out of soup and burgers when I stopped in so they aren't always expecting a big crowd. Clean even if a bit rundown. Parking in the back. Service was good and somewhat abrupt. Lunch was so-so. I wouldn't call it cozy. Just a veey basic place to eat. Nothing spectacular. read more

I had to pick today of all days to hit this spot. They were packed. They had just sat a table of six and a table of eight right before I walked in. A few other tables of two were also early in their lunch experience. And one waitress. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. But I will say this. She was a hustler. She basically ran back and forth between tables and kept everyone happy. By the time I left almost every table was busy. The food was good. I had a traditional gyro, and water. I tried to keep everything simple and easy so I didn't get tied up too long in there. The decor could use some serious freshening up. The menu was ok, I didn't see too many out of the normal things to try. Overall it was a fine place for lunch. But that waitress was an inspiration! read more

Love picking up breakfast here (and it's the only breakfast place my picky son will eat at)! They are quick, reasonable, and delicious!

The good: Low prices. Fast and friendly service, even on a crowded Sunday late morning. Seems well-run. Clearly popular--I've been a few times, and there are always a lot of people. The bad: Fairly small menu. (I think they are only open for breakfast and lunch, and their breakfast menu is surprisingly short.) Not much atmosphere. Pancakes are fluffy and good, but way too big to eat (one is a meal, but two is the smallest order) and served with plain non-maple syrup that isn't nearly as good as the pancakes deserve. Scrambled eggs came mixed with globs of brown meat grease (or something like that)--very unappetizing. The meat-eaters in my party agreed with me: it's OK, but not good enough to draw us back again. If my friends wanted to go there, I wouldn't refuse. TIP: there is parking in back off of Green. read more

I started coming here with Hubby after several neighbors recommended it. I'm giving it five stars because it's just what a neighborhood breakfast/lunch diner should be. Good food, reasonable prices, clean and friendly. I don't eat meat - get the veggie omelet every time. Hubs has eaten his way through the menu. We are both happy. The food is tasty and portions are big. I like that they have grits on their menu. The servers are beyond friendly and efficient. They have a lot of regulars and greet people like they are family. This has become a go-to breakfast spot. read more

The sign says 'seat yourself' but really the sever has to find you a seat. The prices are a high for breakfast for the portion size. Everything is extra. There's one TV it's small. I probably wouldn't return. The quest continues for a good breakfast diner in Cleveland. read more

This place is not all that bad. It's a greasy spoon, family-owned, breakfast restaurant. This place is nothing to write home about, just your standard neighborhood breakfast place. It's a little on the dirty side, but the staff is very friendly. I had eggs and toast and it was fine. read more

Walked in and none of the staff are wearing masks. We walked back out. We had been to this diner last Fall (when it was still kalie's) and I would give it 3 stars from that experience. read more

Delicious food, great friendly service, like a family! My whole church eats here! Reasonable prices

My wife and I have been going for years on the weekends for lunch. Always great food and service. There has been a recent change in ownership and the food has improved in quality, taste, and variety. They have recently have been open on Mondays and Wednesday's for dinner. My wife had fish tacos and I had shrimp quesadillas. Both were terrific! Great place for a nice casual meal. read more

Love the new owners ! They've been serving all the tradtional American breakfast- lunch items & slowly infusing items that are traditional to Uraguay as well. Went for dinner tonight, just started to be open on Mondays & Weds. till 8 pm. The fish tacos were a phenom !! & the Chaja cake was divine !!!! read more
