Super quaint and cute diner. I tried their healthy egg white and sausage burrito and it was tasty, warm, and gooey. I also had a taste of their chicken fajitas and they were surprisingly very flavorful. The real excitement comes from the cakes here, though. The slices are giant, stacked, rich, and there are a multitude of crazy flavor options. The half cheesecake half cake is good because of the balance, but I really loved the Midnight Cravings cake. They're fudge frosting was DIVINE. So rich, it's unbelievable. I wasn't as big of a fan of the mousse as it tasted a bit bitter but it was a very small part of the cake and considering how much you get, you can't really complain.

Dessert

This place has a nostalgic appearance with excellent service. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. My husband and I both got the Philly cheesesteak and was very pleased with the amount we received as well as the taste. We also splurged for dessert and might I warn you that a piece of cake will easily feed three people. The price was a little steep for a diner but all in all I was happy.

Came for the Greek selections!

I used to live in the area of this restaurant and loved their Greek selections. So while I was traveling through the area, I made a point to stop! They have a large selection of foods that are sure to provide every customer something they'll love. ( I did not check for vegetarian or vegan options but feel pretty certain they would have some) I got the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) that came with a fresh Greek salad and pita bread. Don't let me fail to mention the CHUNK of feta on top of the salad!!! They have many incredible cakes and pies to choose from for a dessert at your meal or for events you can just grab one and go! (See the photos!) I had the baklava cheesecake. Did you hear me??? BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE!!! I also ordered a slice of the Oreo pie for my son. They give you a very generous piece! WELL worth the $8.75 they charge. Because not only is it a huge slice, but it's fresh and absolutely delicious! My server Heather was very pleasant and offered help with selections. It want real busy at the off hour I was there, and she allowed me the space to enjoy my meal in peace but also providing the service I needed. If you are passing through the area, do yourself a favor and stop here!

The Cleveland City Cafe Diner is clean and comfortable. The staff is attentive and the food is VERY ample. I ordered Fish and Chips which came with a side salad (which I was surprised included more than just your typical lettuce and tomato). In addition the dinner came with a choice of two sides - I picked mixed vegetables (which were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection) and fries (a very generous portion and quite tasty). There were 6 (yes SIX) pieces of fish and they were crunchy and delicious (until I squeezed lemon all over them ). All and all, though not an epic luxury dining experience my trip was pleasant and I will definitely return! By the way - You CANNOT visit City Cafe without indulging in one of their ginormous pieces of pie or cake - Yum Yummy!

I ate there a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to this review. I went with 3 friends…read moreand was able to be seated immediately upon arrival on a Friday on the patio. Taylor was our server and she was PHENOMENAL. from making us feel welcome to making us never want to leave, she had the best personality. She was prompt and checked on us many times to ensure we were enjoying our time. We ordered a couple cocktails, the blackberry mule (something like that haha) was great. I had 2! for dinner we had the spinach dip and steak nachos from the appetizer sections. The balsamic glaze on the nachos was my favorite part, just the right amount of tangy with savory. Will absolutely be coming back for those again! This is a beautiful restaurant, from the entrance to the clean and neat bathrooms. Will 100% be back.

Our first experience with Local Goat was in Sevierville, TN while visiting Gatlinburg. I had no…read moreidea they had a second location and when we stumbled across the Ooltewah location, we had to try it, since we enjoyed the one in East TN so much. We were not disappointed. My wife and I tend to share an appetizer and a main most times when we dine out. We started out with the stuffed piquillo peppers and they did not disappoint! If you are a fan of goat cheese you will love these too. The sweetness of the pepper with the tang of balsamic coupled with the smooth taste of the goat cheese is almost to die for! We then shared the Pimento burger with fries and those too were outstanding! The burger is not overwhelmingly big, but big enough for two to share. The fries were absolutely delish! The service was good as well. I don't remember anything over-the-top outstanding but these days, decent service might actually qualify as over-the-top relative to what you see at most establishments! (so sad) Definitely worth a try if you are in the Chattanooga area.

The team concept of service ensures that the guests are taken care of but not in a pushy manner. My mom's choice of meatloaf came with a huge chunk of meat and no way she was going to eat it all . I tried the smoked wings. They had a great taste and were plump with meat. The skillet fried okra and a side of field peas finished the plate off. We got some dessert to go with sinful delight, cherry cobbler and walnut chocolate chip pie. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this local place currently at 36 years serving great food. Happy Mother's Day weekend.

Nuala was very helpful in selecting the menu and deciding how much we needed to feed a group of 60 people. The food arrived promptly and they helped set it up. It was hot and delicious!! They provided everything we needed, good quality plates, flatware, cups, and any and all condiments we could have needed. She followed up the day before to see if our needs had changed and to go over all the details and then followed up after to be sure everything was satisfactory. If you need to feed a crowd delicious food with little or no effort on your part, Countryside Cafe is the place to call!!
