    Over easy eggs, home fries (omg so good!) perfectly cooked bacon. We also had pancakes & they were delicious!
    Stacy E.

    Not only was the food great (breakfast!) but the service was exemplary. The workers were not only kind to customers, but extremely kind to each other. No bickering in the kitchen, arguing over orders or tables. Everyone pitches in. Really great experience. I'll be back.

    The traditional breakfast

    We came here this morning for breakfast since it was our last breakfast before flying home. We love diners and this place was super cute! The staff was super friendly and so welcoming! The food was your typical diner food and yummy! If we lived out here, this would be a regular place for us.

    Great Diner serving up great food. We came for breakfast, served all day of course, and we are glad we did. Thanks Yelp! When we arrived at 1130 on a sunny Sunday it was half full. When left at 1230 it was full and a line awaiting. Plenty of parking in a funny shaped lot. Great service and the kitchen put out our order just as we asked.

    The atmosphere is definitely diner. The food was decent. We're had no complaints. The waiter was absolutely delightful.

    Cod with sweet potato fries

    The place is amazing. Great food easy to get to it on the corner lot driveway is a little weird to get into wheelchair accessible even the owner will hold the door open for you if you have a wheelchair pay with the credit card. The interior store is very nice very colorful.

    The Full Belly breakfast on the it's $11.50 w/cheese. The owner adds unauthorized up charge   The owner is a racist crooked thief.

    Great place to grab a bite to eat. However, you have to pay attention because the owner is the only cashier and every time I order a meal, the host writes the cost of the meal on the check. The owner, the short bald and round owner always charge me more than what is written on the check. I have noticed each time I have dined there over the past few years. It's sad because I don't even know how the hosts or waitress get their tips because the owner is always stealing from his customers. Beware, you are being over charged then he asks would you like a receipt? I clearly saw the check which said $12.50 and the owner changed it to $13.50

    Pretty good diner at the corner of 55th and St Clair. You can't miss it. It is gleaming stainless steel. Inside it's spotless. Immaculately clean. When the booth next to us cleared out the chef came over and wiped the tabletop and all of the condiment containers. Very nice. I had the cheeseburger and onion rings. The cheeseburger was a half pounder and cooked perfectly medium as I asked. The onion rings were battered. Not usually my favorite these were pretty good. Burger and rings for $10.50. Pretty good bargain. Very friendly staff. They take pride in their work and their diner.

    The food is always made to perfection! The staff is awesome! It's a family business and they make us feel like family when we walk in! We love it!

    I mean who doesn't love a good diner? The Diner on 55th won't disappoint as far as good food fast. I ordered 2 Pancakes, Bacon (not pictured) grits & hashbrowns. I ordered one blueberry and 1 regular pancake and I was very surprised to see a whole blueberry pop out. The pancake wasn't very flavorful, but the fact that the blueberries were so big is what I appreciated. My server Julie was that old school type and I had an overall pleasant experience.

They close at 3:00. Our server was Maria. Super nice and very helpful. We were leaning toward the chicken salad sandwich and asked if it contains onions. Kathy can't eat raw onions. It upsets her stomach. Maria was very honest and said yes, it has lots of onions. And she is not a fan of it for that reason. We thanked her and went to our 2nd choices. I got a chicken avo club and Kathy got the BLT with an egg and on ciabatta bread. My chicken avo club was good. Just very sloppy. The avocado made it too slippery to stay on the bread. The first half I was able to keep it on. 2nd half I had to deconstruct it and eat it piece by piece with a fork and knife. Still good. Just not in sandwich form. The Cajun potato's were very good too. Kathy also enjoyed her BLT. Place is cute. Lots of artwork on the walls you can buy. Parking is right in the lot by the entrance. Easy peazy. No reason to not try this place. Prices are about average. My sandwich was $15. And you can get breakfast all day. Lives up to the hype. I'd go back.

    Outstanding choice for dining in Cleveland. If you are looking for a quintessential Cleveland…read moreexperience, this is it. The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

Visiting Cleveland from San Antonio for some…read morepresidential history, but when I saw this joint had been on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives"... I definitely aimed to visit. I mean, plus... There's a pretty famous house across the street. I waited a few moments longer than I would have liked for the hostess to seat me, ultimately choosing a two top behind a pillar toward the back. This may have been a mistake... As service waned throughout my meal. The bacon wrapped tots are a MUST TRY. Fantastic! The steak frites was also very good. I've been to nice steak joints that don't know how to cook a steak medium that consistently throughout. My initial water glass was cracked, and a decent chip in the top almost cut my lip. I brought it to the servers attention and she replaced it. And, I also ordered an Arnold Palmer, which never came. Had it not been for those oversights, it may have been a five star review, which is a definite rarity for me when I've tried "Triple-D" locations. Usually I leave disappointed. Y'all, it's an old school bar vibe. Divey. Loved it! Very cool ambiance. So glad I went. It may have been a little loud, honestly...but it is a bar...and I'm getting old! Hahaha!

    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.

The main dining area was full the side area was getting full. Our server was very friendly. Hometown vibes. The portions were large. We ended up taking some home. O tried my husband's sausage and biscuits. The biscuits were delicious ! Fluffy and perfect. The gravy was good. It needed a bit more flavor via spices like salt and pepper. Easy to add, but better cooked in. I had the Hercules gyro with eggs and wheat toast. Loved the seeded wheat thick toast. The tzatziki sauce was very nice. Gyro meet was tasty. The shredded hash towns were perfectly cooked. My mother in law got the godfather. The guido Italian sausage looked good and she said it was great. Would definitely come back!
