Reuben w/ fresh cut fries.
Brandi G.

The food was adequate, nothing to really rave about. Got the Ruben, it was OK I've had better. And the fresh-cut french fries were really soggy and bland. Service was ok, not great but not horrible.

Though our waitress was very friendly, the food was only mediocre, and quite frankly, the place was so dirty. Would not go back.

The portion sizes are huge and the food is excellent! Great homemade corn beef hash and brioche…read moreFrench toast! Service was fast and super friendly. Great breakfast spot!

Be nice to your waitstaff and tip generously! Eating brunch here on Sunday before going apple…read morepicking reminded me of just how hard they work and how terrible so many people treat these lovely folk. That's my PSA for today. As for everything else, this little diner is definitely locally owned and locally loved. It was only a few minutes from the farm I took my bf to go apple picking on the far east side of Cleveland. FYI!!! - The menu online is incredibly outdated!! Each thing is about 50% more expensive. Use the attached menu pictures to get an accurate idea of prices in late 2025. This is no longer a cheap place to eat. :( After about 15 minutes of waiting, we were sat at the counter right next to the cash register and could hear everything the staff said. I was enlightened as to how terrible they are treated by stingy, entitled customers. I felt terrible about my impatience at getting seated and getting our food but it seems like all the staff and cooks were just burnt out today. They still did a pretty good job at making yummy food though! My bf got a skillet with home fries and wheat toast. This was a lot of food and the toast was very thicccc and very heavily buttered. I ordered a gyro salad with tzaziki sauce and it came with buttered triangles of pita bread. Since we weren't prepared for the price changes, we just got water to drink. We both were shocked at how LARGE the portions were! The gyro meat was so good and the pita bread was nice and lightly buttered. My bf was a huge fan of the sausage in his skillet. Because we didn't want to leave the food in the car for a few hours, we ate everything and did not have leftovers although we could have! Not sure how well my gyro salad would taste as leftovers though so it was probably best I ate everything. Lastly, I made sure to thank them and tip generously. I hope everyone else there did the same. I ended up paying about $42.

Jess the hot mess is the best waitress. 10/10 would come back again…read more Seriously, the service was great. I asked for and received her approval to post the comment above. Anyway, Best Friends is like Bob Evans, Eat 'n Park, Friendly's, Perkins, etc... But with a more homemade-style food. We ordered hot beef with fries & gravy (which came with green beans) and a Rueben. To start, we also added the salad bar, which was excellent. Along with standard salad bar options, there was also cole slaw, pasta salad, and homemade potato salad. The slaw was delicious and the potato salad even better. Soup came with our meals. We chose one each of the two options available, chicken noodle and stuffed pepper. The soups were average, but still good. The Rueben was phenomenal. Fresh corned beef was the star of the sandwich and I would highly recommend it. The hot beef was just okay and I would order something else next time, but that didn't stop me from eating almost all of it. With the addition of the green beans, it made for quite a meal. A slice of Reese's pie topped off the meal and it was as sweet as one would expect. Definitely a perfect end to a good meal. If you like homemade food at reasonable prices, this is the place for you. There are other, more upscale places nearby if you're stopping off of I-90. Definitely give Best Friends a try, though.

She went over the buffet options, sea food options and menu. A variety of items to choose from including a children's menu. The food is very bland and does not have much seasoning. I started with the sweet potato fries which were good. Along with some chicken noodle soup. Pasta was my main entree which was a large portion size. My party all ordered sea food platters which they enjoyed but thought was bland. They too felt the portion sizes were reasonable. Definitely a priced reasonable with lots of good just not the most flavorful food. The severs were very nice. All employees were working so hard and very attentive.
