2nd visit and not disappointed!! Nice clean breakfast stop.....the wait staff are friendly and food is served hot and quickly. Ordered the ham steak and eggs this morning with grits and the portion size was just right. Very good food served with a smiling face. Don't know how I missed this place over the years!! read more

so let me start by saying I grew up on this diner with my grandmother for years, it was always an amazing experience until I just went recently. the server who's blonde and wears her hair tied up so rude and added extra food to my bill I didn't order. she barely checked on us or refilled anything. when it came time to pack up left overs she only threw 2 plates on the table and then got in my face asking "cash or card" over and over. I felt the host off of her from the beginning. a man who works in the back did his best to make sure we were feeling welcomed and tidying up anything she did wrong, which is why I gave him the tip instead, please beware of certain servers there some of them were side eyeing us. we're black btw we're pretty young but we do have etiquette. I never had that type of experience ever and never felt so uncomfortable with them like that. read more

First time visiting this local diner. After reading good reviews I was hoping to have a similar experience. I had the Croissant and oatmeal, both were good. The service was great. Would recommend. read more

Hidden gem! I've always wanted to try this spot and I finally did! This is my second time coming this week! That right there explains itself. Old fashioned and comfy ambiance. And the food came out fast hot and full of flavor! Cheers to the chef read more

Service is excellent Food is delicious Friendly neighborhood diner. Wish it had dinner hours. read more

We ate here back to back mornings on our trip to Cleveland. Amongst us all we had eggs, meat, pancakes and coffee and everything was cooked to perfection. I have never seen so many over easy eggs cooked so well, and the pancakes were never overcooked and delicious! My daughter said her not burnt bacon was perfect. Also, the coffee was probably the best "diner" coffee I've had in a long time. Service was quick! Our son said he wanted to come back to Cleveland so he could eat breakfast here again. read more

Great breakfast spot on East 185th. They also have very reasonable prices and the service is great. This place is always busy, which should show you how good the food is. read more

Good experience overall. Parking at the moment is a challenge because the f the construction. Park in the back behind the diner. It was fairly crowded when we went on a Sunday morning around 11:30. Menu is extensive. Lots of good choices. Most everything we saw our neighbor tables eating looked good. Prices also great and very reasonable. I got a BLT with fries. Both good. I'd get again. My partner got breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns. All looked and tasted great. Staff was a bit hurried and running to keep up. Most tables were filled. It's a nice place and if you have to wait it's not too long. All in all it's worth it. You won't be disappointed. We'd go back and try more. read more

Place was decent. Waitress was very friendly and prompt. Fish sandwich was ok ; nothing spectacular. Fries were plentiful. Didn't have pie. Diners should always have pie. read more

This is a classic neighborhood diner. Simple warm and approachable. The food was decent... went with the Gyro and fries. Fries were perfect, gyro was not as warm as it could have been and I prefer sliced onions not diced, but it's what I am used to having been a gyro jokey for 4 years. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

Called ahead for pickup, it was ready on time. My steak skillet was nice and filling. It had onions, mushrooms and steak over hash browns and cheese with eggs, mines were scrambled with cheese. And the give you steak sauce on the side. It was seasoned well. read more

Love Gus's! Great diner with delicious food and coffee. Service is quick and efficient. Have only had breakfast there but their lunch menu looks yummy too. Love their crazy eight: 2 pieces of sausage, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs of your choice and 2 pancakes or pieces of French toast! Delicious and filling! Fills me up for most of the day! Love having Gus's in the neighborhood! read more

Gus's is a classic diner -- great food, unlimited coffee, friendly but not too friendly service. Love it!! My favorites so far: Turkey Club Sandwich, Rueben with corned beef, french toast, pancakes, and corned beef hash. read more

I'm not much of a diner person, but this place really knows how to do it. Good food at great prices and served with a smile.

Food is good prices have gone up but who hasn't. Fast service their pancakes are a fave breakfast food is really good here clean

The perfect diner serving a perfect breakfast. This little spot is clean and friendly with great service and my meal was delicious. I highly recommend it. read more

I've grown up coming to Gus's and figured it deserved an official review after our awesome breakfast! I normally choose the eggs (over easy) with the home fries and bacon! It's just the best start to the morning, paired with their fresh brewed coffee! Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a nice start to our day! read more

Came here for an afternoon breakfast. My partner ordered one of the best patty melts I've ever had. I had a the gyro and eggs with a side of home fries that were deliciously crunchy. The diner had all the charm you would hope for. Would gladly go again. read more

Fast service. Nice lady servers. Really casual and reasonable establishment. Food was not that great. Blueberry pancakes were overloaded with berries . Sometimes that could be a good thing but not this time. Cakes were gooey had no crispness to them. Sausage links were nice and coffee flowed freely. Tables were clean and kitchen was busy. Maybe I will try something different next time.my husband said his food was ok. Eggs grits bacon and toast. read more

Really great. I'm making it my mission to try out several local businesses in Collinwood, and Gus's was on my list! Everyone was really nice. The service was quick, and the food tasted very good. Not the best eggs I've had, but I devoured almost everything on my plate. The restaurant itself is really open and had such a nice vibe to it. Cheap and quick, that's what I like in a diner! And the corned beef hash was of the canned variety..which is my personal preference ;) read more

Food was not good at all I had the corned beef hash it was very mushy couldn't taste the corned beef at all

I got an omelette from there, about two months ago. It tasted like metal, they didn't give me a refund or they didn't offer to remake my food. I was told that I would by receiving a call from the manager. But I didn't receive anything. I will never, ever. Go back or recommend anyone to this place. Overall they suck read more

Old mom and pop type cafe with great menu and staff. Always packed with people. I always go there when near Euclid. read more

Look I'm in the neighborhood for a quick bite good service. This Greek skillet is so good

Sometimes I sneak out of work and go get an omelet. It's fine, it's during my planning period and I'm able to get back because Gus's Diner is always SO PROMPT. If I sit in the restaurant, it's out within 7 minutes. If I order takeout and they tell me ten minutes, it's always ready. The food is pretty good but the service, in my opinion, is what makes it special. I appreciate promptness. Sneak out of work and get an omelet guys. It'll be ready on time. read more

It would get 4 stars but the service consistently SUCKS and the food isn't consistent. from my experiences here, I'd comment that the ingredients used and the prep of said food is above par. The execution of the cooking of the food is spotty at best. I think the kitchen staff needs some training from the owner quite frankly. As for the waitresses......HORRIBLE. I try to put out good karma but I really find myself wanting to call it like it is here. WT girls who can't wait on 5-6 tables each and manage to refill drinks once is BAD. Last time I was there may be my last....the first time I never tipped and second time I felt compelled to say something to ANY person at ANY restaurant regarding complaints. Not my style usually. 2 stars is being nice cause the food has potential..... would be 4 stars with some work though. Meh. read more

The epitome of high-quality food at unbelievably low prices. I mean unbelievable; I still can't figure out how they manage to survive. The portions are plentiful; the food is incredibly delicious; and the staff is as welcoming as your favorite aunt and/or uncle. I highly recommend trying various items on the menu, as I haven't found a bad dish yet. However, if you love burgers you need to try the 185th Burger. You won't regret it, and you'll likely mark Gus's down as a frequent visit. read more

We were visiting from out of town and staying nearby. We noticed Gus's the night we got in, and peered through the window to see if it would be worth trying for breakfast. Convinced by the classic brown coffee mugs and idiosyncratic interior design, we came back for brunch and weren't disappointed! Gus's is exactly what a diner should be. 12:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and the diner was busy serving a diverse crowd, but not so busy that the waitress didn't offer to refill my coffee every time it was half empty. Both the veggie skillet and veggie omelet had plenty of veggies, and there were two hot sauce options (Sriracha and Frank's Red Hot). The hash browns could have been a little crispier, but the fluffy texture and buttery flavor were quite good. If you're looking for a classic American diner, Gus's is the place! read more

The food here is always fresh and delicious. Service is usually on point, as well. My husband and I had breakfast, this past Sunday. The place was pretty crowded, but we were seated and our order taken right away. I usually order the Gyro breakfast, which comes with homefries, toast (I like rye) and eggs (over medium for me) . I also order a side of chopped tomatoes, onion and Tzatiki sauce. My husband ordered the crazy omelet, which contains a little bit of everything....bacon, ham, pepper, onions, tomatoes, cheese etc. and also comes with a side of homefries and toast. As usual the breakfast did not disappoint and the price was right....$17. We left full, happy and satisfied:-) read more

Wide variety of breakfast items to choose from. Great quality and price. Quick service. Friendly staff.

Down home, laid-back place, w/ friendly patrons and friendly staff. Blueberry pancakes was slightly doughy for me but had huge chunks of blueberries, yum. Veggie omelet w/ extra cheese was goooooood!!! I recommend this place. read more

Came here for a Saving Cities Brainstorming Session. Overall, I had a good experience. The waitresses weren't phased (fazed?) by our group (12-14 people) and they were pretty efficient. I had the farmer's omelet -- huge omelet chock full of veggies (corn, mushrooms, spinach, etc) with two slices of toast. It was around $5 for the omelet. It was good but not outstanding. It seems like a great neighborhood staple, but it's a little far for me. Glad I was able to try it though! read more
