I awakened one Saturday morning with a taste for old fashioned biscuits and gravy with cheesy scrambled eggs and grits, so I looked for a restaurant and found this diner. I went there and was warmly greeted from staff. Thankfully what I had a taste for was on the menu and I ordered it. The food was good, it was just what I wanted. The service was excellent as well! I will definitely be returning soon! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Diner On 55th - 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. - Diners Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Tried for the first time. Greeted by the owner and other family among the staff. Very cute classic diner decor. It was busy, but they got us to the only open a table quickly and took good care of us. It felt very friendly and cozy and you could tell there were lots of regulars. We went about an hour before close on Sunday and they were unfortunately out of biscuits and sausage gravy and grits, but there were plenty of other good choices. Went with corned beef hash (canned kind - that's the kind I like!) and eggs and home fries. Also tried the chicken noodle soup. Everything was great and reasonably priced! read more

A wonderful place for breakfast. Love the old time diner. Excellent place to eat casually with friends

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. read more

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. read more

Diner On 55th - Here are todays specials - Diners Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

You know the helpings are huge when Hubby can't quite finish them! Not only did he enjoy the Everything Omelette, but he was so impressed with the coffee he asked our waitress what brand it was (she brought out a bag and held it up for a photo). I was very happy with my grits (WITH brown sugar because if you're getting all carb-y, you might as well go all-in). The restaurant was about 3/4 full when we got there, but despite the crowd the service was still great. We even witnessed our waitress run outside to deliver a container to a customer who was about to drive away without it! We told her we were impressed with her speed and she said she ran track in high school. Cool! Service that friendly AND speedy! read more

I have to say, I have not been so delighted to find a little corner of food heaven in quite a while. The Diner on 55th is the epitome of the "little town classic diner", but in the big city. We had a waitress who was both smart and kind, who poured a wicked-good cup of coffee, and gave us amazing service. The food was great, and inexpensive. My wife and I were just super impressed with the place, and it was the kind of spot you enjoy when you're in need of a great breakfast or lunch; they didn't disappoint. Parking is limited to a small corner lot, and they're only open the first part of the day, but if you can make it, I heartily suggest stopping by the Diner on 55th for food that will make you're day! read more

Diner On 55th - At The Diner, a very cool place with GREAT coffee! - Diners Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Food Is Very Mediocre Nothing Special, Food Was Unseasoned. I Tried To Come In Today With My Service Animal And We Greeted Rudely By The Owner Refusing Me Service. I Have Proper Identification To Prove My Service Animal And Wes Denied A Table And Also Wasn't Able To Place Order For Pick Up. I Hate To Throw Race in There But Im A Young African American With A Cane Corso It's Illegal To Even Question Me Or My Service Animal Especially If We Give You No reason To Suspect Anything Different. I Will Never Visit This Place Again read more

Very cute place!! Retro 50s vibe. Stopped in to regroup after a tire blow out on a cold winter day.The waitress was fast friendly and attentive. She helped with a recommendation for a tire place. Love it! read more

My family found this spot on our drive home from NYC. They were surprised diners like this actually still exist and are not just in the movies. The waitress was a sweetheart. She sat at our table and took time to listen to everyone's detailed orders, gave suggestions, and was extremely patient. Food was above average and there were plenty of options on the menu. Lots of free parking in the attached lot. read more

This place is everything you want out of a diner. If it's not, then you don't want diner food. Everything from the eggs to the service is cooked up in short order perfection. While your coffee is constantly refilled amongst the backdrop of a proper silver car diner. You will not be disappointed in the red and black reflection of a time since passed. read more

Don't hesitate! Seriously, don't. I was in Cleveland for a one day in-and-out business trip. I drove up and down 55th street trying to find a spot for a quick lunch. I'd settle for a Subway, even. I was about to pull into a Wendy's when I noticed the Diner on 55th. This place was fantastic; a true pleasure and surprise. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a diner-type establishment. Good, simple, delicious-sounding food including sandwiches, burgers, and "blue plate" specials (meatloaf, etc...). The diner was spotless; very clean, very well-maintained. The wait-staff was polite and attentive without being intrusive. While the neighborhood is a bit dodgy, but this diner is a real gem. If you're in the area, don't hesitate for a moment. You'll be glad you did. read more

Great breakfast place with the look and feel of a 50s diner. The Lorraine Omelette is top notch.

Had soup and salad for lunch. Salad was very good the soup was okay. The service was excellent; quick, friendly and attentive.

This is the diner on 55th Street the trailer that sits there right on the corner of 55th and Saint Clair. Bad experience over there this morning I went in for breakfast, the scrambled eggs that came with my breakfast the cheese that was supposed to been cooked inside of my eggs was just a piece of American cheese laying on top of my scrambled eggs not even melted so when I went back in the waitress and I approached the manager which was sitting right there he told us that he didn't have time for this and to move away from him take the food and go. I explained to him sir I expected the cheese to be cooked with the eggs, he said I don't want my pans messed up and we have to wash them every time, so take the food or your money and leave my establishment. So I took my money and I left with a made up mind that I would not spend my money there again read more

We had lunch there on a weekday in 8/05. The diner is located just a few blocks south of I-90, with an exit right on 55th Street - so it makes for a perfect breakfast or lunch stop if you're driving on the Interstate. It's a retro diner which opened in late 2001 and the interior is nice; the floor has black-and-white tiles, and the counter has the same with gleaming chrome. The booths and stools are red. Our server was very pleasant and the prices were reasonable. (In addition to being closed on Sundays and holidays, they're also not open for dinner). read more

We went here based on a recommendation from Cleveland Magazine's feature on regional diners. It's only a few miles from home, and it's got that classic, shiny, stainless steel look that epitomizes the American diner. There was nothing wrong with this place, but there was nothing outstanding about it either. Inside, it's so immaculate that you get the feeling that you're sitting down in a chain restaurant with a 50s diner theme. If you've ever been to a Ruby's Diner, then you already know what the interior looks like in here. I got a cheese omelet and my partner got sausage and biscuits. Both were fine. The service was fine. The prices were fine. Everything was fine. But nothing was great. read more

I really love the look of this Diner!!! From their red and white checkered tablecloths, to their cozy booths and the counter seating--near their open kitchen.This Diner's traditional theme is akin to sitting inside of a magnificent side car on a Silver Train! I had to ask myself: Am I sitting inside of a restaurant, or am I actually on a 1950s movie set? Additionally, I loved their friendly staff and the reasonable prices of all the food items listed on their menu. Breakfast items include: pancakes, omelets, french toast, hash browns, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash. "Comfort Food" lunch items listed on their menu are: chili, homemade casseroles, hot open face sandwiches, homemade meatloaf, cod, roast sirloin, burgers, and "Blue Plate Specials." read more

My daughter and I sought out a new place as we do in our weekly adventures. We really liked this place. Totally a diner experience so set your expectations for that type of menu and service. Our food was delicious, the service was personal and nice, and the experience was casual and un-rushed. Did I mention the easy parking? Gotta like a place like this. read more

I was in Cleveland for the Tri-C JazzFest and stopped by for an early-morning breakfast of scrabbled eggs with cheese, bacon, etc. When my order came, I noticed that the eggs were runny; so I sent them back. The second effort was no better. The eggs were still runny. When I pointed this out to the waitress, one of the cooks began screaming at me from the kitchen: "It's the cheese that makes them runny," and other ridiculous statements. He ended up telling me to "go somewhere else," which I promptly did. All in all, it was the worst and most bizarre experience I've ever had in a restaurant. I would never return and would urge any and all to stay away! read more

I was looking forward to a good diner for breakfast- but this was not anywhere close to an acceptable diner experience for me. First off, it was noon and I still wanted breakfast. On the website and the front door it clearly says that breakfast is served ALL DAY. When we were seated, the waitress immediately saw me looking at the breakfast menu and informed me they weren't serving breakfast. When I mentioned that it says all day she rudely pointed out that they only serve breakfast until 3 on weekends. If it said it anywhere, it must have been small or hidden that I didn't see it. So my friend and I, really hoping for breakfast, just ordered coffee and asked for a few minutes to look at the menu. She came back with coffee in under a minute which was great but immediately expected us to know what we wanted. My friend didn't end up ordering anything and from the once-over of the menu I had time for I couldn't find anything I could eat. I handed back the menu and told her I was a vegetarian so we had to stick with the coffees. Then she became snotty and told me I should have come earlier if I wanted breakfast. But like I said, I didn't know all day only meant until 11! I asked her if there was any way I could have something as simple as scrambled eggs and she told me the cooks were too busy for that, without even going back and asking. So we're sitting there with our coffees when we realize there was no sugar on the table just artificial sweeteners and the creamer pods weren't restocked so there was only 3 and we had to split them. Since we were still hungry and only had two shitty coffees, we expected to get the bill quick. You'd think 2 coffees would take 10 mins max before we were handed the check, but our waitress didn't come back for almost 45 minutes leaving us bored, annoyed and hungry in a freezing diner. We even kept looking behind the counter trying to flag someone down but the waitresses all 'seemed' too busy.. The place was far from packed! Finally when the waitress came back and got our checks she offered us coffee again.. Why would we want a second cup while getting the bill after 45ish minutes? So those are all the reasons I'm giving this place one star. Originally I thought to give it two because the outside and inside have a great diner look, but we didn't even get to enjoy it because of our experience. read more
