    Toffe cake or something
    Jim N.

    Service was very pleasant and friendly, took great care of us. The Ohio City burger was quite good juicy and cooked just right for me. The fresh cut fries were golden brown with a slight crunch, can't been fresh cut fries. The desserts were delicious as well.

    Calamari
    Frugal F.

    The service was quick and tentative. The ambiance feels a little fancy yet casual. This time around we sat in the bar area which is pretty cool being semi separate from the other dinning area. However the burglar was a disappointment. It was just so bland... I need at least salt and pepper on the meat. My sister had the calamari and said it was amazing, but would have preferred the sauce on the side so any take home would not be sauggy. The side of carrots were amazing though.

    Hecks is known for the burgers, so we got burgers and they were delcious. Fries came out hot and fresh too. The service was amazing, brought refills, boxes, and napkins without being asked - all star silent service. We enjoy the patio which is completely covered and has fans for air movement and to keep away the flies. The restaurant was busy in a Friday night, but we made reservations and had no issues.

    Beets and orange salad...great!

    We come here so often, there's nothing on the menu I have not tried! Its all good. When you visit, ask for JULIE! She is the most attentive and polite server who not only knows the menu but knows how to deliver the Best experience! Her attention to detail is impeccable. We enjoyed the chicken potstickers (sorry no pic because they were inhaled) the ABC omelet and the wild mushroom ravioli. All were tasty, served hot and delicious. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable so dress to impress or come as you are!

    Merry Berry Cocktail

    Conveniently located off of Chagrin Boulevard and Richmond RD. The evening was a Holiday gathering with friends. Our server Olivia was pleasant and helpful. The bar and restaurant were nicely decorated for the holidays. Five of us were putting a half booth. It was a tad cramped so we asked for a chair that we put on the end. Olivia was very helpful in moving a chair. This worked much better. I had the Merry Berry Cocktail which was like a margarita with cranberry and Rosemary. It came in a little bottle that you poured yourself. It was good, but could have had more flavor. It was a bit bland. For dinner, I had the Miso Gkazed Salmon over bok choy with sweet potato medallions. It had a cashew crunch dusting on top. It was good, but nothing special. Again, on the bland side. It was overpriced at $35.00. I'd return, but would opt for a burger I e fish tacos. Those looked amazing. The salmon just wasn't something I'd return for. Recommend this for the service and burgers. :-)

    Wasn't my first time at Heck's, but it never disappoints! I always get the burger au cheval and since today we came for brunch, I also got the home fries. I will say the service wasn't as great as usual, but I assume it's because it was Mother's Day and busy. But the staff were all super nice. Loved the burger as always, but the homefries were just a tad soggy. Still really enjoyed!

    3 way breakfast with bacon and sausage

    Heck's Cafe is truly a staple when it comes to brunch--you literally can't go wrong here. The menu has such a great variety, so there's something for everyone no matter what you're in the mood for. The food was really good, especially the home fries and sausage links--both were cooked perfectly and super satisfying. The French toast was a standout for me though. It was so flavorful and honestly tasted like a warm cinnamon roll... sooo good. Our waiter, Sarah, was really nice and gave some great recommendations, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was also really nice--busy in a good way with people coming and going, and the music surprised me in the best way. It had more of an urban vibe, which I loved. I love Heck's--it's always a solid choice for brunch!

    Grass fed burger & fresh cut fries.
    Antoinette L.

    Dinner at Heck's was delicious. They have the best burgers made with grass fed beef. Our table of four all tried different special burgers. They all come with their fresh cut fries. You can substitute a salad or vegetable in place of fries. Also gluten free buns are available. The service was excellent. Our two servers were great and made us feel so comfortable. The burgers were all prepared perfectly to the temperatures we requested. We had a side of onion rings for the table & not one was left. We left feeling very full & happy.

    Ambiance, decor, greenery were all so on point and pretty! Came here to dine with a friend and we had a great time. Our server was very friendly and accommodating and we felt like we were being taken care of. However, for a Monday evening, it was busier than expected and the speed of everything was extra slow. I had to remind and repeat some requests and questions for the server. Menu was straightforward and appealing. My burger was delicious and fries were crisp. The appetizer portions were on the small side. I wasn't impressed with their desserts. They were very pricey but the descriptions didn't match the content. The blondie sundae we ordered was overly dense, not particularly good and not really a blondie brownie. The chocolate flourless cake was also way too thick and sweet. Heard good things about the bread pudding so will be trying that next time.

    Beautiful restaurant, very classy inside. Busy place during lunch on a Wednesday. Food was out in ten min though! Brieberry burger was perfectly cooked to order. Onion rings were nice and hot and crispy with a spicy aioli. Calamari was also nice and crispy but did lack a sauce to come with it would could be an improvement.

    The service was good. The vegan options were good. The food and drinks are affordable. I recommend trying the beet drink and shoza bowl.

This time, I brought my family along for lunch, and it did not disappoint! We took advantage of their happy hour specials, which included half-off pizzas, select appetizers, and drinks. We started with the Street Corn Nachos and added grilled chicken. They were absolutely incredible--easily some of the best nachos we've ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was delicious. We also ordered the whipped feta, which was simply divine and a must-try. For our entrées, one person ordered the pepperoni pizza and really enjoyed it. I had the sausage pasta, which was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light while still being incredibly satisfying. The third entrée was the Thai noodles , and it was another hit. Everyone commented on how fresh and well-prepared their meal was. The service, as always, was impeccable. We were greeted immediately and seated right away. What really stands out about this restaurant is the teamwork. Everyone pitches in, whether it's bringing out food, clearing plates, or noticing your water glass is getting low. It doesn't matter if they're your server or not--they make sure you're taken care of, and that level of hospitality really makes a difference. The restaurant is also spotless, and I love that the open kitchen allows you to watch the team preparing the food. It adds to the overall experience and shows how much care goes into every dish. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or happy hour, this place consistently delivers. Great food, outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a beautiful space make this one of my favorite restaurants in the Cleveland area. If you're visiting the Pinecrest area, do yourself a favor and make this a stop--you won't regret it!

Northstar comes highly recommended by a catering friend as a reliable, go-to place. We arrived and were second in line to order. I'm not wild about their queue up-order/pay-take a pager approach but last night was effortless. We sat on the little patio fronting Warrensville Center Road and enjoyed the hustle bustle of a busy Friday night. We had ordered the thai burrito with chicken and a cola. We self served our drinks and when the food was served we were extremely excited. The presentation was lovely and the portion was generous, including the baked chips. After the first bite, we were hooked. Delicious. Tasty (including the side of peanut sauce). With delightful textures. The chicken was perfectly cooked. We could only eat half and took the rest home. Looking forward to a reprise. Live music was starting soon but we headed over to the VAD plaza for their weekend offering. Verdict? A great eat-in experience we will soon repeat.

    Casual service meets fantastic food in an environment perfect for families & groups of friends…read more Each time I visit Northstar Cafe I love it more (and wish more deeply it would expand to a Westside location). For brunch, my go to is the biscuits and gravy. The gravy has a good heat to it and the biscuits are flaky and buttery. For lunch, the buddha bowl and chicken & avocado sandwich are both elevated classics. My husband raves about the fish sandwich - and the salad that comes as a side is anything but simple. When you enter, you'll order with the cashier and then find a seat with your number. Typical counter service - but what makes Northstar special is that the interior feels more like fine dining and the food is much much better than your standard fare. Worth a trip for its own merits, the fact that it's located in a nice shopping area is also a draw, especially for a weekend when you want to have a leisurely stroll.

I appreciate greatly from them that you can select in your reservation which zone of the restaurant you want to sit in. Service has been very good when we've been there most recently Corinne I believe her name was was very friendly and helpful and did an amazing job managing many tables some with difficult customers. One note, NOT a negative to me but may be noteworthy for some: I don't think Gigi's is a spot for kids or large family events with kids, unless they have a private dining space I'm unaware of. Space between tables is tight and the space overall is not huge but they make great use of the space. The staff are extremely efficient and there are many of them moving with trays at any given time, it's absolutely not a spot to walk around with a toddler if they get bored at the table. The chairs for example are also small so don't expect a giant family size booth here. Again these are positives to me but just notes!

    At first, when I saw that the Korean fried chicken sandwich was $17, I was slightly outraged,…read moreespecially since it didn't even come with fries or any kind of side. Then I got the sandwich, and I was like, actually, $17 is a more than fair price, LOL. For a second, I attempted to eat it with my hands, but its size made it an unwieldy experience. So I ate it with a knife and fork. And it was DELICIOUS. The sandwich came with a big piece of crispy fried chicken that the bun could barely contain. The chicken was fried fresh, so it was hot and juicy. In addition to being hot in temperature, it was hot spice-wise. It came with candied jalapeños, soy chili jam, pickles, and Sriracha. The spice was balanced well with some nice sweetness and a tasty kale slaw that added some brightness to the sandwich. Even the bun itself was delicious. The place is mainly a takeout spot, but there are a few tables if you want to dine in. The water is self-serve. There are cups and a sport cooler in front of the counter.

I pulled up the Chicken Ranch menu online and decided I would try them. It is a small establishment. Tables were clean. There is seating inside and two small tables outside for diners. The manager was explaining they make everything fresh and offered to answer any questions I had. I took a look at the specials then decided on a two piece crispy tenders meal. It came with a jalapeño corn muffin. It was 10 dollars and I chose a chocolate chip cookie with caramel and pecans in it because, why not. My chicken was delicious. I chose hot honey sauce because I was curious. It was so spicy and cleaned my sinuses right up. The sauce came on the side, thank goodness for that. The muffin was OK. It would have been better warmed. The cookie: sooooo good. Because I was being nice, I gave my kid a piece, but next time I will eat it in the car before I get home, like the pros do.
