Country fried steak with "fusion gravy" (chorizo)
Charley P.

Man, where to begin? From the outside, this diner looks to be a small place and one you'd find in any town USA. Once inside, the decor is modern and fresh. The people are friendly and the food is great. No. Spectacular. I always judge a diner by its country fried steak. It's my baseline. I've eaten at a lot of diners, mostly up and down the East coast. The country fried steak here is hand breaded cube steak. You have two gravy options, regular sausage gravy (the owner's mom's recipe) or their "fusion gravy" which is made with chorizo. Hot damn is that fusion gravy fantastic. Add it on top of that hand breaded steak and you have a match made in heaven. I mean it when I say that it's the best country fried steak Ive ever had. My friends both had steak breakfast burritos. And they cooked the steak to order (in their case, medium). They both reported that it was also a top tier breakfast burrito. The only drawback is that from order to delivery takes a fairly longtime. But they have a sign on the door explaining that everything they cook is handmade to order. So please be patient. To offset the wait time, they have friendly waitresses that keep the coffee coming. For this out-of-towner that found this place by accident, it was truly a delight to dine at Hot Grillz. So if you aren't in a hurry and want a fantastic breakfast, look no further.

Turbo charged (jacked?) with blueberry pancakes

We love stopping here when in town. Kim took great care of us and food was delicious as usual. Hubby's breakfast was great, my blueberry pancakes were the best ever. We'll be back again one day!

Great neighborhood place. Friendly service and good food. Loved the option to have one order of sausage biscuits with 2 types of gravy. Eggs were perfectly poached and the pancakes were huge (server gave the option of 2 or 3- 2 was a huge serving). Busy place - many menu options.

Family friendly, delicious and great service pretty much sums up my first time at Hot Grillz. After a morning run in the metro parks we stumbled upon Hot Grillz. Seated instantly, we chose the bar area. Service was quickly, friendly and our server gave us plenty of suggestions. My husband and I were starved so it was perfect, huge pancakes, eggs to order and truly the perfectly cooked potatoes, no shredded dried out hash browns are being served here. Did I mention an order of pancakes are huge and were fabulous, especially with hot syrup. Great diner with service to match.

This was a great place to eat! I had eggs, potatoes and a pancake and left very pleased!

A stack of flap jacks
Norberto A.

Food and portions are great, service is prompt and friendly. Location is cozy and nostalgic. I suggest you get in early and when you can because it gets pretty full. I recommend the delicious pancakes !!

Little pig with onion rings
James F.

We stopped here as we were driving through, it sounded great, had a fantastic yelp reviews. I got the little pig, which is a BLT with six slices of bacon. It was pretty good. My wife got a chicken Parm sandwich that was also pretty good. The choice of bread that it was on was a little surprising,. I got onion rings with my meal, and they were friggin fantastic. Some of the better parts of this restaurant was the waitress Carrie. She was very nice, very attentive, and best of all, she always kept my coffee cup full. She knows the way to a man's heart.! as far as ambience, this place was described as a diner. And while it certainly has the open kitchen like some diners have, the rest of the place did not look like a diner. Also, most diners have breakfast all day. Breakfast ends at 11 AM here.

Flapjacks. Really really big. Also very good.
Patrick K.

What cool fun diner in Bedford. Found this place on Yelp after running in the metroparks today. Serves breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Service was excellent. Pancakes were enormous! Reasonably priced. And if you enjoy a brunch adult beverage they have them. Cool spot ! Check it out!

It's the large bacon sandwich with 10 slices of bacon a really good french fries excellent Kelly good waitress

Everything is excellent. I'll be back for breakfast. Looks very good. Kelly was a good waitress. You get good service very friendly. I'll be back.

This restaurant offers absolutely the best French toast. I got the banana & bourbon caramel bread…read morepudding French toast ($16.50), and it was divine. What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.

Great diner in the neighborhood! It was Sunday, and we…read morelooked for the brunch place. How lucky we were being seated in 10 minutes bc other places had 30-40 minutes of waiting list. We like the atmosphere and service from the start. The diner is casual and simple but I liked the welcoming atmosphere.

At least new to me. As mentioned I haven't been here in a while. Wait to be seated when we came in. It took a few minutes but a table was cleaned for us and we sat. Nice crowd for a Thursday afternoon. Hostess is also the cashier. She gave us menus. Then we waited about 15 mins till a server came with silverware. She took our order. A chicken salad sandwich and the special chicken paprikash. I wanted to try it. Then we waited some more. At least 20 mins to get our drinks. Water with lemon. Then another 30 mins for food. It was hot when we got it. So it was fresh. Just took forever. I also got a cup of soup with my paprikash so I chose the mushroom barley. It was very thick, almost stew like. Lots of barley but not too many mushrooms. It was ok. Wouldn't get it again. The paprikash was ok. It's a ok portion. Not heaping. Ok though. It tasted ok too. Not too much distinct flavor. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again. Mom's chicken salad on wheat was just ok too. For the more than hour we waited to get our food, this was not a great experience. When we went to pay the hostess cashier was MIA and we waited. We were going to pay via cc but decided we did not want to wait any longer and just gave cash. I couldn't even flag someone down to tell them I left the bill by the register. No one there. Not sure if help was the issue. Probably was. Too many customers and not enough wait staff. Or just on their own time. Server seemed surprised we wanted to go boxes and our bill. But I got to get back to work and at this rate I was out of the office more than 1 hr 45 mins. Family place. Long time establishment. Good prices for a family. I don't want to knock. But this was a bit too far for me. I can't wait for my lunch for more than an hour. It may be awhile before I try again.

As a Van Aken District neighbor, navigating the wide range of interesting eateries is a lot of fun…read more Last night, Northstar Cafe was our choice. 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.

I'm not local to Cleveland, but I can't say enough great things about this place. Every time I'm in…read moretown for work, I make it a point to stop by, and this visit was no exception. 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!

Is this a statement that is said to everyone that is seated in the happy hour area or was it just said to my family & I? Although we did order happy hour, we also ordered off the regular menu & the kids menu for the kids that were with us. Distasteful comment. I'll stick to the Westlake location.
