Such a wonderful ambiance in the room with the spiral staircase and special floor tiles. Present for lunch on a Tuesday. Arrived at 11:30a without reservation and led right to a table. Room full by end. My salad was absolutely scrumptious. Loved every aspect of it. Gorgeous. Friend's burger looked juicy & divine (jealous, perhaps). Fries - I got one! Super. Only scruple - the piece of celery on my Bloody Mary skewer looked like it had been sliced a couple days ago. Set it aside. No biggee. But celery's not pricey. Give me a fresh cut next time, please!
Hecks in Ohio City is still one of the most charming venues with great food! The ambience of this location is exceptional. You start drinking in the rooms, just walking into the restaurant. It's a charming neighborhood, particularly with the Autumn leaves blanketing the area. Lunch was exceptional. I had the Au Chaval Burger. Mind you, I was skeptical because I used to live within walking distance from the actual "Au Chaval" in Chicago. This was every bit as good as the original, and trust me, the Au Chaval burger is better than you can imagine. It was two sunny-side-up eggs on excellent, high-quality beef with a dollop of sour cream and a quality bun. The fries are excellent, just soft enough to dip in ketchup and mayo and very tasty, not the least bit greasy. The service was as good as it gets. Again, a good restaurant server is like God, everywhere but never seen, and always available when you need them. This is a place well worth visiting! Thank you, staff!
Heck's Cafe does not disappoint. I made a reservation and was seated where I was preferenced. I greatly appreciated the acknowledgement of my note on my opentable reservation. The cute scenic view of the spiral staircase with sunlight coming in through the windows is my favorite. Our waiter was very attentive, flexible and kind. We ordered the pierogis and potstickers as appetizers. It wasn't as flavorful as I remember it. But still not too bad, although they were pricey appetizers at $13, when my large burger and fries were only $15. One thing I will say is service is kinda slow, but I understand that they're very busy and have a lot going on so I definitely don't count that against them. I ordered the Ohio City Burger, the spice flavor was strong, but kinda wish I would've opted for a burger with an aioli sauce since it was dry. My friend got the blackened salmon burger which she enjoyed. The fries were decent too and I appreciated the large pickle slice. The basic coffee was surprisingly amazing and had a very strong fall mix taste. Highly recommend for anyone new to the area to check out Heck's. I can't wait to try other options off the menu on future visits!
Wow. amazing! From the food to the service, this place was awesome. I am always looking for a good truffle fry and i'd say this place is going to be my top 3!! Fresh food, great flavors and great staff.
This little corner spot is so much bigger than imagined on the inside! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly. Brunch is the best but the burgers are great too.
The perfect brunch spot year round. In the summer you can dine outside, but there's some really cool places to enjoy your meal amongst an incredible plant room. The service is great, the food is awesome and your experience will be second to none. Check out the heckburger or one of their seasonal specials for an unforgettable meal.
I had a great solo lunch sitting at the bar of Heck's. The staff were very friendly and I had great interactions with both Victoria and Joan. I thought I wanted one burger but I was happily encouraged to try the Brie Berry Burger with added caramelized onions. I subbed the Cesar salad for French fries and it was such delicious and filling meal. I also tried the My Mai Thai and it was sweet and bright and tasty.
A terrific overall experience. Quick service and delicious assortment of food. Had to take a full takeout container of leftovers home. A variety of seating and settings, from personal tables to an airy greenhouse area to a lodge-type dining hall. Great spot to check out!
Hecks Café is such a cute spot! This place is very trendy and hipster and if you are an out of towner this is a great place to check out. It is a bit more on the pricey side but in my option the quality is there. Food: Salmon Burger 8/10 It's shredded salmon not a patty - which is weird because they asked me how I wanted it cooked - I said medium it was a bit on the soggy side. The waitress warned us an said people found it salty so I asked for no seasoning and just the sause it came with on the side and I thought it was great. I would order it again- but next time well done so it's not soggy. Truffle Fries 10/10 These were a table favorite! They are real fresh potatoes and are rich in truffle flavor no dipping necessary! Heck Burger 10/10 Cooked to my husbands specifications and fresh! Salmon entree 8/10 Falafel burger 10/10 Slightly spicy but filling and homemade! All in all we enjoyed our meal there and the waitress was outstanding and paced our courses well and kept our drinks above 1/2 the entire time. I recommend a nice meal here :)
It was a delicious welcome to Cleveland, a lovely place to have dinner, in the beautiful Ohio City area. Beautifully decorated inside and outside. Food menu was impressive in its variety and unique dishes. Service was excellent. Delicious meal! Street parking was free and easy to find on a weeknight. Thank you!!
The staff are lovely but I find the food pretty average . The burger meat could have used more seasoning it did not have much of a flavor .
Made a reservation for a bachelorette party and we had such a good time. The main dining room is beautiful and had Miss abstract art on the gray walls with natural light coming through the ceiling, reminded me of the rainforest cafe at the Cleveland zoo. Food was good but i expected more mushrooms in my mushroom chicken dish. I highly recommend the tamarind jalapeño margarita!

Came here for brunch with a few buddies. On a Saturday morning. Miso Salmon was delicious. Wild things skillet left a lot to be desired. Ohio City Breakfast was basic and had pineapple as the side of fruit. The design and decoration of the restaurant is really cool. I love the plants and the natural light! When my order first came out the salmon was rare on the top half. I hate sending things back but I reluctantly did in this situation. The server was very accommodating and brought the meal back perfectly cooked. I also got a habanero margarita, it wasn't worth the price. read more

Came for a solo dinner downtown, sat outside on their patio. Great weather and good vibes with good music and cute string lights. I got the chicken burger with the Moroccan seasoned fries and creme brûlée dessert. Very good and decently priced! My waitress was attentive but not overbearing. read more

Came after 8pm on a Saturday with a group of 5 and had the option to sit outside or inside immediately. Both seating options were very cute. Our server was very nice and helpful with making our meal selection. They had three N/A cocktail options, I got the Tamarind Mule and it was delicious. Not too sweet. For my entree I got the Mediterranean Salad and added chicken. The salad was overly dressed which was disappointing. The lettuce got soggy quick. My husband got the Chicken Kebab and he cleaned plate! Really good, lots of flavor. Cute spot. read more

After all these years, Heck's is still fantastic. The menu at Ohio City is fresh, simple and downright delicious. The service is always impeccable, whether you are sitting at the bar or seated for dinner. The specials are always mouth watering, especially the seasonal salads. Tonight we opted to start with a few starters before moving on to mains and dessert. The tuna tacos were delicious, full of flavor and so light...fantastic grade tuna. The Heck's fries are always a must. On to main dishes, I chose the beet spinach salad with salmon, perfectly cooked. I loved the walnuts, great added touch. My husband had the papperdale with ragu, the meat was tender and well seasoned. We ended the night with the dessert burger, brownies were great, the raspberry sauce simple and oh so good, not a huge fan of the chocolate chip bun, the biscotti was just too hard to balance the dessert. So make a reservation, get out of the suburbs and head to the original Hecks, it's always the best!! read more

I came here on a cold winter day in need of warmth and good food before I went to the Art Museum. I'd never been here before so I was definitely excited to try out the menu. To start I got the Apple Cider Mimosa and the Winter Burrata. The cider was beyond lovely. The Burrata? Perfection. Highly recommend. For the main I got the B.E.L.T. which wasn't bad but I'd say it wasnt as amazing as I was expecting? Not bad at all and quite tasty but nothing to write home about. I definitely want to go back and try more of the menu! read more
The place was okay. The food was okay. I really wanted to like this place, highly rated on Yelp! And came recommended by two of my friends when I said we're going out to Ohio City for dinner. The draft beers we got were warm; not cold at all. The server says that they're having issues with the draft beer. So after drinking that, we got bottled/canned options. We got started with calamari and mushroom empanadas. The calamari was really good, smaller portion, but good flavor. The empanadas were good too, garlic and cilantro...very strong. For dinner, got the Brieberry burger, lacked flavor. We got Onion rings on the side and that was good. Wife got the grilled chicken, lacked flavor and the "herb rice" was not very flavorful either. Probably won't be back, now that we got to try it. The place seemed nice, just didn't live up to the hype. read more
My best friend and I came here for brunch on New Years Day. We were able to walk in and be seated. I was very excited to be seated in the indoor courtyard area. It was so pretty and magical! We ordered drinks first (I got a Bloody Mary and my friend ordered a mimosa). For our entrees, I ordered a Caesar salad with salmon and my friend ordered a breakfast sandwich. Overall, our experience was great. Our waitress was helpful and attentive and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. The only two things I would like to note is that my Bloody Mary didn't have much flavor. It tasted like vodka with a little tomato flavor. I couldn't finish it and I usually love a Bloody Mary. Also, I added salmon to my Caesar salad. I thought my salmon portion was a bit small for the price to add on salmon. Overall, this place was great and I'd definitely check it out again. read more
Met up with a friend for lunch and he suggested this place. It's a cute cafe with something on the menu to satisfy everyone's tastes. We were bummed we weren't there on a Saturday because we were told their brunch menu is the best, but that just means we will have to go back. In addition to their normal menu and drink items they also had some holiday special desserts, milkshakes and cocktails. Among the group we had burgers and fish and chips. Their fries are my favorite type of fries, hand cut and nicely seasoned. The coleslaw had a nice Thai chili like kick to it and the burgers were very juicy. I just wished mine was cooked through a little bit more for a medium burger, it was closer to a medium rare. All in all, we would definitely return. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Parking is the only downside with street parking but I can't wait to come back. read more

Visited this restaurant a few summers ago and it's definitely worth checking it out! Outdoor seating was great. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly too. Food was amazing and didn't have a long wait at all for it. read more

We dined at Heck's nearly exactly a month ago and already, my impression of the food is nearly gone; all I can say is that the burgers were decent, fries totally wiped from memory, and the baked brie barely met expectations. What I DO remember was that we waited nearly an hour for our orders and we had to shout our conversation despite sitting next to each other at the bar (a seat we had requested, as the table seating was even louder). I think i'd only return to heck's as part of a large group in hopes of monopolizing a bit more of the acoustics in the space. Otherwise, the food was evidently not memorable enough to make a second trip. read more

Unique, delicious flavors and a cute ambiance! I came here with friends and I was visiting from out of town. The neighborhood this cafe is in is so cute! The inside was really big with a few different rooms with seating. The spiral staircase in the middle of the restaurant was so cool and added to the uniqueness of the place. The food on the menu is full of different flavors and options. Mainly breakfast food but they have burgers for lunch as well. I ordered the chicken and matcha waffle and I ate every bite. It was delicious! My friends got different burgers that came with fries and they were big portions and really enjoyed them. Service was good - friendly staff and very attentive. I highly recommend stopping in for a great bite to eat! read more

Went for Sunday brunch. Food was delicious. Although they were out of a few things so we had to alter our order a bit. I think it was because of how late we came for brunch. Service was good and the place was vibrant and beautiful! read more
Been here twice for brunch, and both times it was a great experience! On Saturdays, they have select items from their brunch menu available so if you're looking for breakfast foods, I would recommend Sunday brunch so you can choose from all of their delicious plates. My fav dish is probably the AM fries, which is really great for sharing. the baklava French toast and banana bread waffles were also delicious. Both were pretty light and not overwhelmingly sweet. I will definitely be coming back to try more menu items. Street parking nearby is convenient and the restaurant space itself is bright and welcoming, perfect for a Sunday morning. read more

The Salomon burger was the bomb! Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. And the truffle fries were good too. I will definitely be back to get another one and to try other items on the menu. The service was speedy, professional and super pleasant, Paige did an amazing job!! The restaurant itself is very cute and aesthetically pleasing, modern and cozy. Perfect for birthday brunches or a cute date spot. I definitely recommend trying this place. read more

I love the ambiance when the place is slow. Lighting is perfect; it can get a little loud when busy. The food is fantastic. Service was top notch. We got the baked brie, buffalo cauliflower, shrimp app and burgers. The milkshake is a little small for $7 but was really good. Also, i hate their forks - its like a stick shaped handle. All in all, we will be back! read more

Love Heck's cute patio! Cocktails were on point. The spritz was so refreshing and the tequila cocktail was delicious. I'd skip the peach/corn salad. Not anything to brag about. Pierogies and tacos were a hit, though. For the price, I was not impressed. I'd recommend Heck's for a drink and appetizer before a show but maybe not for a dinner date. read more
Came to Heck's on a Sunday morning when I was visiting Cleveland. When we arrived there were a lot of people standing outside so I was worried we wouldn't get seated, but this place was huge! Service was friendly, and the options were great! Everyone found something they were excited about eating (and some hard choices were made). As a vegetarian and gf diner, I was happy to see how many options I had. I went with the cauliflower shakshuka which was so delicious! My bf ordered the ABC omelette (apples, bacon, cheddar feta). Man it was huge!!! No need for side orders, you'll probably need a to-go box! We loved the food, and the place is so cute! Multiple rooms, big patio, lots of plants everywhere. I wish it was closer because I'd want to go all the time! read more

This place is a must stop for lunch place!! Everything is just perfect I ordered French onion soup and a hamburger. I got the spicy hamburger. I can't remember what it's called. If you tell Cook , how you want your hamburger cooked it is going to be 100% perfectly cooked.!! It comes with fries so it is a lot of food Service was absolutely excellent. I will be back in again! read more

This was my first time going to Heck's. I went with some of my cousins so we had a party of 6. They were able to accommodate us on a busy Saturday night within 30 minutes. We really appreciated that. The server was meh. There were mixed feelings about her from everyone at our table. The food and drinks were delicious! Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Now let's talk about the meal 2 of us ordered off the specials menu...the Short Rib Fettuccine!! It was amazingly delicious! Chef's kiss I wish it was on the menu all the time. It was so good that I was full but still wanted to keep eating but instead I took home my leftovers. I woke up thinking about eating it for breakfast but instead I'll just eat an early lunch. Check them out if you get a chance! read more

A great brunch place and a good dinner place. I would definitely fiend for their brunch, their dinner is pretty good but not something I'd ever crave or fight to the ends of the earth to get if you know what I mean. Like really nice and enjoyable, not missing anything, but no oomph. I think it depends on what you get. For dinner I only had the gnocchi. Definitely enjoy the patio more than inside, although the inside is gorgeous.... Just loud! You can make rezzies online. Oh and if you've ever been to the fairmount it's kinda like that. A little bit of everything on the menu read more

Heck's was our local neighborhood place we loved going to during our time in Ohio City. It has a true neighborhood feel, the perfect place to get dinner or drinks or a Sunday afternoon brunch. A place where one may feel like a regular on their first or second visit. Comfortable, welcoming ambiance and with friendly personable service. Everything is good--food and cocktails equally. Favourites included the spicy margarita cocktail and the berry bourbon smash. The fries are also outstanding. They also have a great sense of humour. We brought our dog to their patio wearing toddlers trousers to prevent him from licking a mosquito bite he had gotten the prior week on the Heck's patio, a mosquito bite that had cost $300 in vet bills. After we all laughed at the absurdity of the situation they comped our entire party deserts. Totally unnecessary and most appreciated. Whenever we are back in Ohio City we always make a trip to Heck's. read more

Right in the middle of Ohio City you'll find Heck's tucked away on a corner. This restaurant seems to be a community staple, I assume lots of St. Ignatius families, and local foodies come and go on the regular. We were seated right under the spiral staircase and plants, which was very charming for a date. We began with the Burrata appetizer, which was easy to love but lots of different savory flavors to enjoy with the cheese. For dinner I tried the local pasta that was on special - it didn't look like much but that sauce was a work of art!! My husband enjoyed the wild mushroom ravioli as much as he hoped he would. This was the menu item that intrigued him when he first decided to take us here. Now that bread pudding nearly store the whole show! The fact that's it's not just bread pudding but pretzel bread pudding?!? Come on - it was perfect. Thanks for having us - we look forward to our next visit! read more
