Went in for what would have been my mothers 76th birthday. The server is one of the reasons we keep coming back. She is always smiling and see easy to talk too. Saturdays are the best day because of their homemade Veggies Soup. The best in Lorain County. This restaurant reminds me of a diner from my childhood.

Western omelette.

Took a little road trip for breakfast and it wasn't a disappointment. George's will definitely not be on my "one and done" list. The only issues I had personally was the leftover food on the menu and service was a bit slow, it seemed they were a bit understaffed for a Sunday morning.

Hash omelet, bacon/cheese omelet, home fries, toast.

If you're looking to have a good, hearty breakfast, then this is the place for you. Nothing fancy, just freshly made and tasty food. Eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast- they have all of the basic breakfast items. Service was very friendly, and fast! You can get in and out in 45 minutes if you do wish. Will definitely return if I'm ever in the area again!

Veal Parmesan

Service sucked. Food was gross. Hard veal, hard roast beef. Will not be back. If the waitress knew you, you got good service otherwise forget even being asked if it was ok. Had to ask for a lunch menu, which seemed to piss off the waitress as she rudely basically threw the menu toward me. Two people but she only gave us one menu to look at. Waited over 10 minutes to get the check as she never came back to check on us and we were done for a while. Would not recommend at all.

Vegetable omelet with spinach added.

Someone else said, "It doesn't look like much" and they are right. It's an older looking place, the decor is late 70s early 80s but this is a place to come get some food, you aren't here to propose to your girlfriend. What counts is the service and how things taste. Part of the appeal is that it looks like an old style restaurant and the servers have that same approach. They are all nice people and it only took two visits before the server knew what my order was. That's a throwback if ever there was one. Today I had a veggie omelet with spinach added and tell me this isn't a pretty omelet? Not bad for the price and again, your drink never seems to get 1/4 empty without a refill.

Corn beef hash with over easy egg and side of hash brown.

This place has been a family favorite for years. With the pandemic we been pretty much stuck in the house. My mom, sister, and I went for our second shots and decided that we were going to treat our self to some good home style cooking. Georges is what some may call a greasy spoon. You know what you get at a greasy spoon right? Some of the best damn food on the planet and George's will not disappoint you. Even though they were understaffed that day the wait staff did all they could to be attentive to all the customers. Our waitress was moving so fast that she nearly ran into herself going into the kitchen area. They have some covid precautions. Plexiglass between the booths to alleviate the spread of germs. It is still self seat and yes they wipe the tables and chairs prior to the next customer coming in . It was still morning so I was going to have a great breakfast. What ever reason I did not have dinner the night before so I was really hungry. My order was Country fried steak, with potatoes, and scrambled eggs. I find it hard to find a good country fried steak but this was very good. It was well seasoned and tender. My mom got steak and eggs. My sister order corn beef hash and over easy eggs. I don't know about you but that runny yolk egg over the hashbrowns were phenomenal. Yes, I ate off her plate. Because she is my big sister and I can. The waitress needs a review of her own. She was awesome. Sorry I do not remember her name. But she was great. I can tell because mom is old skool and she loved the vibe and personality she was giving off. I hope that her supervisor knows how great of a person they have. This is definitely a place you and the family go to grab a great meal. My next motorcycle ride I am bringing the group there. The waitress would be able to handle a bunch of salty old dogs.

I'm gonna give this place 5 stars mannn the food quality is great ! I had the Spanish omelette with jalapeño peppers and onion green peppers, and tomato excellent and the portions nice. The inside is kind of dated but they make up for it in food . I think the menu is way too large for a restaurant this size it's like 4 pages long. But the big but everything we ordered was great according to my guests I was with. A must stop if your in the Lorain Elyria area!

Destiny R.

Excellent service , exceptional food , affordable price . Never disappointed! The restaurant floods with warmth and family vibes !

Absolutely A+, five stars!…read more Edacious is absolutely fantastic! This is a nice place. The food has all been first rate, I went there to get the Smashburger on deal. During happy hour it's 12 bucks and that's a great burger. They have Busch light for $1.50 it's unbelievable. You can do that every weekday, they're not open on Sunday, and save some money. The entrées get up there around $24 and all the ones I've had have been fantastic. today I did the roasted chicken $24, and it was so good I cried. great mushroom flavor & maybe a soy sauce type on the chicken sauté. it was so good. Wow! Next time in, I will try the lamb meatballs. They do the thing where you get the tinned fish of your choice, they have several varieties & they pair that with all the accoutrements it's quite a nice appetizer. It's really a nice restaurant, on the small side so make a rezzie if you feel like it. They have some outdoor seating, I haven't used it, but it's popular. The bartenders are great, Emma, Corryn & Bridget. The chef is a star, maybe they have a couple, anyway the food is great. I had a poutine special last week. My brother loved one of the big salads. You get the idea. Great bourbon selection too. Five stars for a wonderful place, they do a nice job, thanks.

This place is ridiculously good. We grabbed seats at the bar like we usually do on a Saturday night…read moreand left completely satisfied. It's a true hidden gem, perfect size, a TV behind the bar, great bourbons, and a menu built for sharing. The portions are just right if you want to order a few different dishes and split them. We're already looking forward to going back, especially to see Emma, she made the whole experience even better, which isn't always easy to find these days. Pro tip: get there early if you want the specials, because they go fast (for good reason). And don't skip the tuna appetizer--we ordered it by accident and were blown away. It's one of those dishes you just have to try for yourself.

I have always loved Bistro 83. It has been a while since my last visit, and it appears the menu…read morehas been updated - and I love the additional choices. Today I ordered the Portobello burger. The portobello mushroom was marinated in balsamic. I'm not typically a fan of balsamic, but since I love Portobello I gave it a try. Unfortunately the balsamic marinade was too much, I almost choked with the first 3 bites. Both of my daughters tried the mushroom and agreed that it was too much balsamic marinade. This was the first time I returned a meal. Our waitress, Brenda, was AMAZING. She quickly had me order something else, which was promptly brought out to me (and it was delicious). Throughout the rest of our meal she continually apologized. I was not angry...I understood. She made this possibly bad experience a good one. My daughters enjoyed their meals. (Unfortunately my granddaughter did not enjoy hers - she ordered mac-n-cheese - and according to her it was tasteless.) Regardless, I love Bistro83 and I will go back, and the wonderful way we were treated is one of the reasons.

The best thing on our first trip here was the server and the busser that kept the table cleared …read more We also had 530 reservations and asked for a quieter area as a couple people in my family are hard of hearing . That was honored , so thank you . However , The food was underwhelming at best . We were sat immediately but didn't get our meals until almost 645 . We ordered hot chips for an appetizer and they came on a salad plate? They practically slid off the plate when placed on the table . A basket of some type would present a lot better IMHO like most restaurants do w like apps. I know it seems picky but I feel as though this is supposed to be a little more upscale than an Applebees . My mom and I ordered the Garlic Shrimp scampi , the noodles were Al dente which I prefer , but they all stuck together in a ball , both dishes and there was zero flavor and the dish was hardly hot temperature wise . My fiancé had the chicken Marsala and he said he should have just had a burger . The kids meals were enjoyed more than the entrees ~ chicken tenders and fries were good ! The waitress acknowledged and apologized for the long wait and manager comped us desserts . My mom had the crème brûlée , she did enjoy. I tried a white strawberry type cake , it was awful . It looked great but it was dry and watery when bit into the cake . It's like it was in a too cold refrigerator too long . The consistency was like packed cold sand that fell apart in your mouth . Just not good . I really wanted this to be a great experience, NR is my hometown and my mom still lives there , we visit a lot . I'd hoped it could be a better than it was because the atmosphere is beautiful and the server was great ~ but what is up w the food an experience that wasn't worth the price tag unfortunately.
