Three words! "Out-Friggen-Standing!" How the chef here isn't helming a Michelin Star restaurant is a mystery. Amazing customer service and the food is out of this world. We heard about it all the way out in Vegas and we had to stop in for breakfast. From flaming Bananas Foster topping on my waffle to the very well balanced Irish Coffee, this place is a solid Five Star hit in my playbook. It's tiny and very cozy to boot, reminding me of the little hometown diners I experienced as a kid. If you don't try it, you are missing out!! read more

Hey, it's a diner! Hit the spot. Good food. Owner does it all and was very pleasant. Recommend for breakfast.

I had a fantastic classic Reuben corned beef sandwich with delicious, melty cheese and crispy toasted rye bread with a side of fries that were out of this world. The fries were spiced nicely with Old Bay and maybe Paprika. What a wonderful treat on this snowy St. Patrick's Day in NE Ohio. I will definitely come again. read more

We stopped at Garrett's Mill for breakfast recently and had a very good experience. The service was excellent as our server kept our coffee cups full and made sure our food tasted good. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I have had with the bacon being the highlight. The hash browns were nicely browned but warm at best. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

4.5 Stars Was in the area for a visit to some extended family and decided to stop in for brunch. It was delicious! Had to try the famous pancakes - they had a nice crisp edge and tasted like they were made with salted butter which was a pleasant addition. Interestingly, when I first tasted them, they were fluffy but got a tad gummy as the meal progressed, maybe from steaming in a stack, I don't know. They still tasted good. My wife and I split two dishes - the chicken and waffles and the corned beef hash. The chicken was small nuggets of breast meat, which works, because there were no bones to contend with and they were juicy and nicely spiced. The corned beef hash was very filling and tasty. The beef was minced fine but the potatoes were more hefty chunks. My wife liked that; I found it to be a mismatch (I think I prefer it all be big chunks or all finer and fried, but that's just my preference). All dishes came with big side of fruit. Top notch service. There was a small team of waiters buzzing around the restaurant, filling coffees, taking orders, and delivering food. My kids loved the salted caramel hot chocolate but, like many little kids, devoured the whipped cream first. One nice waitress came over and asked "you want more whipped cream?" to which they eagerly replied "yes!" The owner was super friendly and was working hard at the griddle. Even during one phone call to the restaurant in which he appeared to tell the prankster off, he still did it was a giant smile on his face - the man loves his job, I guess. The prices are fair, the food is good, and the service impeccable. Definitely recommend. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Visiting from out of town and could tell they take pride in their service

Stopped here for breakfast while we were in town to visit the national park. This establishment has the entire family working and they couldn't be nicer. It might have been the most approachable staff I have ever encountered. On top of that the food was also good. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stop by again if we find ourselves in Stow again. read more

Terrible experience. Food was very mediocre, server messed up our order and the cook was rude. I don't usually put bad reviews up but this is one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. read more

This is hands down one of the best diners in northeast Ohio. The owner works onsite and takes incredible care of every customer along with his team. The food and service are excellent and I will be back for many years to come. It's hard to find food made with love in a restaurant anymore, but this place is filled with good food and lots of love. read more

Garretts Mills is a great example of a mom and pop shop. I went there 2 mornings in a row while visiting from out of town. Both days we spoke with the owner/cook and heard all about the local fresh vegetables and ingredients. The food and service round off the positive experience that we had. I will definitely be back when visiting again. read more

We are big fans of Garrett's Mill, or as we call it "Worlds Best Pancakes" (if you don't know, you need to order some). We found this gem after moving to Stow and it quickly became one of our favorite spots for that classic breakfast! The owner is incredibly kind always going above and beyond with his service. Today he offered banana slices for our daughter (18m) before we even sat down and had her pancake out first without us asking. These are the types of little things we always experience during our visits. read more

What a nice surprise this little diner was. We had a big party. The first thing the cook did was ask if there were any special dietary considerations, and when we told him there were a few vegans, he created special wonderful plates for them. The service was so friendly and helpful. The menu was very diverse. Everything everyone had was fantastic, and they have little cranberry scones to start off with. Even the coffee was good, which is not always true in breakfast places. read more

Food & Service was FANTASTIC! Highly recommended I also had a tasty MimosaThey give you complimentary little scones too with your coffee - LOVED so we bought a bag to bring home. read more

What a nice hidden gem! Met up to have breakfast somewhere in between both of our stops. Small little diner. The food was phenomenal! The waffle was delicious, the chicken was moist and juicy, and they served real maple syrup! The breakfast sandwich was fat, eggs fluffy, bacon was thick, and the croissant was perfection! The potatoes were crispy and not overly seasoned. I thought that the coffee was a little overpriced for the taste, but it was unlimited, and they offered us to go cups before we left. I would have given 5 stars, but the service was just okay. read more

Went for breakfast recently. The menu does have some unique items like deep fried French toast but I went with a ham and cheese omelette with a "salted caramel hot chocolate". The omelette was okay - but the visible square of American cheese lightly melted on top was off putting somehow (especially when there wasn't much cheese inside). You have to ask for jelly, and then you have to specify what flavor and then they only give you a packet or two of that, no picking your own. Same with ketchup - you get a small dish with some ketchup in it, you don't get the bottle. I like a lot of ketchup with my eggs and potatoes so this was kind of a pain. And I didn't get my drink until after I was served my food, and the mug had caramel sauce dripping down the outside of the mug on all sides - so much so that the mug was glued to the saucer so it was hard to lift to drink, and you ended up getting really sticky in the process. The food wasn't bad tasting but all the other inconveniences just dampened the whole experience and made us not want to come back. read more

The breakfast selections are very good, great coffee and the owner Brian is gracious.

Super team serving a great breakfast. Loved the pancake, but everything was great. I need to go back for the crepes.

Pancakes were really good - more like crepes than traditional pancakes. We were there on a Saturday so I did expect it to be busy but we were seated right away so there was no reason to think that it would be the same for our service and food. But our order wasn't taken for at least 20 minutes and the wait for our food was even longer. We were brought a small sample packet of biscotti (just a very small piece of biscotti inside) but no apology or acknowledgement of the long wait. I know it's not always like this, but it is the reason for the one missing star in my review. Nevertheless, it won't keep me from returning and I recommend Garrett's Mill- just maybe not on a Saturday. read more

Small place but great service and food was delicious! Ordered the Sara special which was 3 eggs and a pancake. Added sausage patties to my order! Everything was great! Endless coffee and they even offered a free cup 'to go'! read more

We found this diner while on a road trip. We called ahead to order brunch for all 5 of us and were delighted with the food, tasted fresh and homemade! Staff were so kind too, packing everything up nicely. The fresh fruit, pancakes, sandwich and oatmeal were such a better option than fast food! read more

Food was good, staff was great! Prices were a little nuts. $19 for an omelette? Took daughter for breakfast and it's was over $40 with tip. Places are getting out of hand with $$$. News flash...eggs are back down to $2.55/doz. read more

It was looking like a great place but some small changes could be made to make a HUGE difference. 1) less tables (if you are too crowded for a proper bussing station then you have over packed) 2) MOVE THE BUSSING STATION OUT OF VIEW! It's not appetizing to watch swill water two feet from where you are eating. 3) Your employees are great, keep that going. 4) Food needs more flavor. read more

Hole in the wall place which greatly exceeded expectations. Great food I totally recommend those pancakes as a side because everything is great. Polite attentive service too! read more

Tiny little place right off route 8. Went around 745 in AM on a weekday. Ordered samples sausage and cheese omelet with fruit no hash browns Fruit cup came out first and is the next fruit cup I have ever got. Seriously. Had watermelon blueberry melon cantaloupe banana and mandarin oranges. Delicious and best variety of fruit. Next was omelette it came with four slices of toast. It was good as well. Some might think it's a little pricey but if the food is good and the portions are good I am satisfied Also bravo on the diversity of your team. read more

Finally tried this place because it was on the "Fall Foodie Passport." Decent service on a busy Saturday morning, but the food was well worth it.
