Good food here - my fav right now is to get takeout with a variety of apps / sides. Th fries are delicious and seasoned, served w garlic aioli. I think they have a few diff options to seasoning. Brussels w bacon are also delicious and so crispy. They have full Brussels in the mix (not quartered/ halved) which is not always the norm at restaurants. The burgers are good and so many flavor combo options. Milkshakes are thick. Lots of choices on the menu / other entrees if you don't want greasy / heavy meal like I described above lol! read more

holy heck is this place devine!!! My mom came into town from texas & was hungry & we were in the area so stopped into Heck's. We ordered 3 appetizers, entrees, & desert and it was ALL incredible. I can't express enough how great this restaurant is! read more

I have eaten here 4-5 times over the years. Each time I got a very good burger. It's just the location & parking that deter me from going more. ( I always found parking when I went) It's in a residential area. GOOD burgers,try Heck's if you can. read more

Being in such a competitive foodie area I expected more, but the food is good (not mind blowing). I had the delicious candied bacon pierogies and a burger topped with braised short ribs (it should have been so much better than it was). It's a nice place with a cool staff and still worth a visit. read more

Brought my mom here for her birthday lunch because she loves burgers, and I'm glad I did. The food was so good. They were out of a drink my mom wanted so our server, whitney(the best), made it special for her with some things she had behind the bar. We got the baked Brie, which she loved, and then the whole table got burgers. There were so many to choose from and we all loved them. I will Defintiely be back. read more

I was wondering if the Rocky River burger I got for lunch here the other day was ACTUALLY one of the best burgers I've ever had or if I was just hungry. It was pretty big, so I took half of it with me and had it for breakfast the next morning (don't judge me!). You know what, reheated the next day it was STILL one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I've ever had in my whole life. I want to try every burger on that menu. The fries were pretty good, too. The service was outstanding. Jen (Jenn?) was kind and helpful and--perhaps most importantly--patient with a customer who was new to the restaurant. The burger probably still would have been great without terrific service, but it was so lovely to be treated nicely at the end of a long week! PANDEMIC-SPECIFIC COMMENTS: The seating was well-spaced, and the dining room seemed to have more than sufficient air circulation. The front entry and the space you walk through to get to the dining room are a bit tight, even during a non-busy time. Maybe go during kind of off-hours if you're concerned about being able to physically distance. read more

Great food and service. Beet salad with salmon was delicious. A side note, their house coffee appeared to be cinnamon flavored. Just a thought for those that prefer coffee flavored coffee. read more

This little Gem was absolutely amazing, we got the brunch burgers and coffee.. then we bought a bag of their coffee grounds. best. coffee. ever. it's ground with cocoa and cinnamon, it's sweet but not too sweet and rich. Overall it was a great experience! read more

We had the build your own burger with fresh cut fries and French onion soup. Everything was amazing! The service was top of the line; very attentive. Very good beer and wine selection as well. read more

Went for brunch today. Brunch offerings are typical (Benedict's, omelets, burgers, etc), reasonably priced, and portioned on the smaller side. For brunch, I got the Ohio City Breakfast. Took 40 minutes for the order which ultimately came out lukewarm and under seasoned. Hot sauce was thankfully available from the lovely server. Coffee is pretty good with cinnamon and cocoa incorporated. Would recommend for a lowkey, average breakfast. I'll try again sometime, but likely not for brunch. read more

A great place that we just happened to stumble on when visiting the city. The food was fantastic. The service was great and friendly. The ambiance had a great feel. It was a cute little spot. Definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Made our way here after our tour of A Christmas Story. The interior is suffering from Lack of imagination/style but the orange/beet salad was very good. Husband had bolognese & daughter had short ribs. All a hit. read more

The staff is so cool and funny. The person who took our order, Sara, deserves a $5k Christmas bonus. The interior and vibes are excellent. Our sandwiches were great. The fries are not bad and not good- they exist. They have a signature beer which hit different TBH. Love this spot. read more

I'm so full but already planning a second visit!! I had the Brie berry burger and the Ohio city cocktail, husband had shirt rib tacos and the summer heat cocktail and our son had the hot fire burger and a brownie shake. Oh and we shared a bowl of French onion soup! Everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Our waitress Jen was super sweet and made us feel right at home! The burgers were so tender and well seasoned. The atmosphere is open so we felt comfortable eating inside, they do have a patio for however long Mother Nature allows. Everyone was on masks and everything is clean! We can't wait to return, think we'll shoot for a Sunday and try their brunch! read more

Went for Sunday brunch and was fortunate to be with someone who has been there before and requested the garden room. It was absolutely lovely! Cute cafe nestled away in Ohio city. I ordered the Wild Things which my server said was the most popular item on their brunch menu. The chicken was super tender and covered in herbs and the mushrooms and greens made for a super refreshing brunch. My lunch date got the baklava French toast. How awesome and Cleveland can you get? The food is reasonably priced but I couldn't believe my mimosas were $8 a piece. Yes they were tasty but spending $30 on one dish and two drinks seems a little steep. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to be severely disappointed in, it was a good stop! read more

Hecks - "Wild Things" off the brunch menu - mushroom, chicken, egg, potatoes, and greens. Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The burgers are consistently delicious and innovative, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The wait staff is friendly and efficient, the bar staff also very awesome. I'm reserving one star because the salad was BORING, and the appetizer cold. But come for the burgers, and the Cleveland vibe. Better yet, don't come in in a busy Friday night when it's hard for everything to be perfect. read more

I was transported down the 1970s memory lane with my father. I can see, in foodie terms, why this place has lasted so long. While he was nostalgic over his residency in the 1970s at Lutheran Hospital and coming here to Heck's Cafe as an occasional treat on tight budget, I was analyzing the 'heck' out of it. While it has an unassuming entrance, like a seemly small diner, it's much larger on the inside (think of the Tardis). With vivid green plants on a spiral staircase and an interesting folk-style tile on the floor, it truly carries the ambiance of the neighborhood. We were greeted by a pleasant hostess, who was finishing up a to-go order. We were, then, speedily led to a table in the center of the complex (where it looked like two buildings were conjoined). Our view was a combination of green reaching plants on said spiral staircase and of the main bar that had the Olympics on full visual blast. After we we seated, I was figuring out my order. The charmingly slender dark-haired gentlemen that served us was both very attentive and helpful. Since I had a large breakfast, I opted for soup and salad (The Soup of the day: Mushroom & Leek Soup and their Orange & Beet Salad). Both were very tasteful and filling. I feel like I should have opted for one of the other. The Mushroom and Leek soup was extremely savory and elegant in its ceramic planter-like bowl. And the salad was amazingly modernly fresh with its goat cheese/ walnut / beet / seedless orange glory. I've never felt so content with a salad before and it really hit the spot. It genuinely was like a party of leafy greens in my mouth. I think the fresh goat cheese helped create the flavorful ambiance. My father opted for their "Heckburger" with cheese and bacon. He was really "down memory lane" when he was eating that burger. I can't describe it. It's like reliving something from childhood/ early adulthood but without words. He told me the burger was exactly like dining on beef from Argentina. ***Side note: My father is originally from Paraguay but he has family from Argentina. So, he know what he is talking about.*** I tried a bit of his burger. It wasn't dry or "tasteless" but gloriously moist and really fulfilled my Umami tastebuds. Towards the end of our visit, I had a beer (Great Lakes... Can't remember the name) at the bar area. We had two choices for the Olympics to watch, Volleyball (USA vs Japan) or Synchronized swimming (I believe it was Canada?) for tv entertainment. We opted for volleyball. The Japanese volleyball players were amazing!!!!! Anyway, this is a restaurant you should not miss if you're in the Westside Market area! I'm planning on going back next time I'm in Cleveland. read more

I really love the patio here. It's my #1 for covid-social distancing. The tables are at least 6 feet away from each other; you can feel entirely comfortable going out to eat there. I recommend it. read more

They say you can never go beck, well after 36 years I've returned with my wife to treat her to an outstanding burger and yes the food is still excellent. Do see they have cut down the menu, still amazing. Service was a little blah blah but again good Hamburgers read more

This was the second time I've been there in a few months. Service was excellent both times. Food is creative, and refreshing, giving you many choices for a small plate meal or something larger. Burgers are amazing of course. The soft pretzel bread pudding is not to be missed! read more

I used to live in Cleveland and this has ALWAYS been my favorite place. The ambiance, food, and quality, is over the top along with the presentation and flavors. They do this as an ART! Very reasonable in price and many memories here. I wish they would come to California, they would make a killing! And I would be happy! read more

Quite disappointed, since I had high hope based on so many good reviews. We ordered Miso Salmon and Short Rib bowl. The total we paid (with delivery fee) was over $50, yet we received a minuscule piece of salmon, 2 skinny piece of broccolini with some rice. The short rib amount was so little that we could barely see and had to dig the few small pieces out of the polenta, and there was a very pathetic-looking fried egg. We are from the San Francisco Bay Area where living expenses and everything are most expensive in the whole country, yet I've never see this kind of portion with this kind of price. Plus, the flavor for these items was not impressive at all. I can easily get these stuff at a no name place for maybe half the price. Not going back again. read more

Had a delicious takeout meal from Heck's! The brieberry burger was amazing, and they actually cooked it medium rare like we asked Fish tacos were also great, as were the pierogies. We hope to go back soon! read more

September 20, 2018 Rehearsal Dinner!!! My daughter got Married this past weekend and we had her Rehearsal Dinner at Heck's in Ohio City in the private hall in the back. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing!!!!!! When I book the venue I spoke with Kristina she made everything so easy! read more

We loved this dinner! Been here a couple times and have had good experiences but this meal was to die for. My burger was juicier than ever. Get a burger if you come here. Salads are good too, a little expensive for the size once you add chicken though. Got the fruit as a side, which was a nice change, fresh raspberries and oranges. Only complaint: the back room is LOUD. Idk why it's so loud, but man it's loud. Sit in the greenhouse type room if possible. read more

Some good friends decided to take me here for lunch one day recently (as I had never been here before)...what took me so long?!?!? Heck's is well known in Cleveland for the quality burgers, so of course I had to try one. I ended up with the Rogue Burger...a juicy patty topped with bacon and Roquefort cheese dressing. Can you say "yummmmmmmm"... The location of this spot is quite unassuming...you'd drive right by it if you were not looking closely enough and I hear they are making plans for expansion into the adjoining property. But the inside feel homey and comfortable, adding to the ambiance. I will definitely be back. read more

I was very underwhelmed by this place. The strawberry barb cocktail didn't have the fresh strawberries the waiter said it would. The avocado hummus was really just guacamole and pretty bland. I ordered the orange & beet salad with grilled chicken added and it was fine except it came with hardly any greens. My husband got one of their burgers, which they are supposedly famous for, but it was such a basic tasteless boring burger. Fries were soggy. Overall very disappointing especially that we drove 40 mins to get there. Oh and they seated us at a horrible table next to back door that slammed every minute and rattled my seat as wait staff went through it constantly and when we asked to move tables waiter said no other seats even though several other options were available. read more

I ordered through them on Uber eats and asked specifically for no cheese on the burger or fries because I have severe food allergies. I got the order and there was cheese all over it. I called and talked to someone and they never said sorry, just instructed me to contact Uber. I'll never give them business again. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place for burgers. I ordered the hecks burger that had fresh herbs on it and it was just amazing. They cooked it exactly the way I wanted it and I was in burger heaven. The fries are just as amazing as well. Crispy and perfectly seasoned. I love the interior of the restaurant as well. You feel like your in a secluded greenhouse enjoying a nice dinner. If you drive by this place you might miss it so slow down and head inside! read more

We are here for dinner on a trip to Cleveland for my boyfriend's birthday. It's an adorable little place that's bigger than it looks. Our waitress was so nice and friendly, probably one of the best I've had in a long time! I wish I could remember her name, she had short dark hair and was just so attentive and helpful. We got some Brie as an appetizer and it was yummy and gooey and the fruit on top was a perfect compliment. Our food came out super fast, I got the stuffed squash and he got the Ohio City burger. My squash was filled to the brim with veggies and was really good. My boyfriend really liked his dish as well and I really liked some of his fries We got the salted caramel pretzel bread pudding for dessert and LOVED IT. I really wanted to try their dessert burger and funnel fries but maybe next time. Forgetful me left my purse hanging on the chair as we were walking out the door, and our waitress came running at a full Sprint to make sure she caught us before we got to far, and I really appreciated that. They were a little expensive but I think it was worth it! read more

The vibe here is a little confusing. It seems a little upper-crusty, yet not since their menu is a bit more casual. It's still a pretty restaurant and we've only heard good things about it. Ben F. ordered the Burger au Poivre - and he couldn't have ordered anything better. He raved about the flavor and although he's not a sour cream fan, he's been converted! I had the Rocky River burger and didn't enjoy it as much. I usually don't mind Swiss cheese, but it killed it for me. Sad. Glad we tried it out, but I don't think I'd return if I'm ever back in Ohio. read more

I stopped in at Heck's Ohio City, for the first time at 1:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. It wasn't crowded but there were a good number of people at tables inside & outside. I sat at the bar since I was alone. I was informed that two of the listed beers on tap and one of the hard ciders weren't available. I ordered the House Heck's on tap- weak and watery. Since the place was known for the best burger in Cleveland, I ordered mine medium rare. It was over half an hour before I was brought a dry overcooked burger (more medium-well or well done), served on a stale bun, tasteless cheddar cheese (you could hardly tell there was any on the burger), a paper thin "slice" of tasteless tomato and wilted lettuce. The pickle was limp and had no crunch. The fries were good though. It was my first (and last) time at Heck's. What a disappointment. The place is way overrated. I was underwhelmed. read more

The menu has so many different options and has something to meet whatever it is you're craving. The service is always great and I've never had a bad server. My only complaint is that it's kind of pricey but that's any restaurant in the Cleveland area. read more

Hands down one of the best burgers in Cleveland. The portion sizes are wonderful, the beer selection is great and the food is consistent and delicious. I have been coming here for years! Their Coronavirus precautions are great..our server was even wearing gloves! 100% should eat here and should 100% recommend to a friend! read more

Delicious burgers, great cocktails! The service is also very prompt and friendly. We love Heck's Cafe!

Atmosphere- you have a lots to choose from honestly. When you first walk in it's a bar setting with a bar on your right and booths on your left. Nothing spectacular. But when you walk through another doorway it opens to a broad indoor courtyard type Feel with sunroofs giving it an even more open vibe. The third room is another bar type fee but it's only used if the restaurant is fuller than usual Service- Excellent! All the waitresses have been super friendly! Food- WHERE TO BEGIN. The burgers are incredible and I highly recommend. They're cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. If you don't like burgers the rest of the menu is very accommodating. But remember to save room for dessert. Their chocolate hamburger sounded weird but it was out of this world!! Their milkshakes are DELICIOUS, especially their Nutella milkshake. Price- really pretty expensive but I'd say worth it if you're looking to splurge or celebrate read more

Only been here twice, (invite by others) and I've been satisfied with the service and atmosphere, food was as described, just nothing great about it. read more
