Very cozy little restaurant located in a small strip plaza. Great wait staff. The coffee was outstanding and the food did not disappoint.

The atmosphere felt genuine and community-driven. The food was the highlight-easily one of the most creative, thoughtful, and flavorful breakfast experiences I've had in the area in a long time. The originality of the dishes really stood out. The grits, in particular, were excellent-something that's surprisingly easy to get wrong, but they executed perfectly. One of the most impressive aspects was the takeout quality. I ordered a meal to go and didn't eat it until 15-20 minutes later, yet it still held up incredibly well-no reheating needed. That level of consistency is hard to achieve. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot to friends and colleagues.

I have never had a bad meal here and every person I've ever taken there has loved it just as much as I do. Of all the restaurants in the world, I'm pretty sure this is the place I've been to the the most...for good reason. Another aspect that is just awesome is you don't really have just one server. They really work as a team! Anyone can seat you, anyone can take your order and everyone is happy to get you a refill. (PRO TIP: if you are taking a kid, or feel like a kid get the 14" rolled pancake covered with your favorite topping...it is rolled over 5 scoops of ice cream!) It is just a great place to eat!

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.

Before commenting on the food, I should mention I prefer traditional diner food and I didn't pick First Watch. With that in mind, everything was good. I struggle with the menu because I don't need avocado, greens, tomatoes or anything else added to my breakfast food...I like Eggs, Bacon, Potatoes and toast (add in a pancake or waffle on the side and I'm thrilled). I always feel like First Watch is trying to hard to be fancy. Everyone did enjoy their meals, everyone did mention the portions we a little small, everyone did feel it was a little pricey but overall everyone left happy.

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.

I recently had breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Streetsboro, and while the experience was…read morenot a disaster, it did feel like an expensive lesson in managing expectations. I was genuinely excited to find a place nearby serving eggs Benedict, since that is apparently now considered a rare regional specialty. The eggs Benedict itself was satisfying, and the decaf coffee was actually very good. It stayed hot, which was impressive because warmth was not exactly the theme of the rest of the experience. The custom mug was a nice touch, the silverware was clean, and my water glass was crystal clear, so points for clearing the very basic hurdles of public dining. That said, the details were where things started to drift. I asked whether I could get butter on the side for my English muffin and was told yes. When the food arrived, the butter had apparently chosen a different path in life. I selected the potatoes as my side, and they were dry and cold, which was a nice reminder that not all breakfast foods dream of being eaten. I also asked for cream with my decaf coffee and was given those little plastic peel-top cups of palm-oil creamer like the kind sitting beside a gas station coffee urn. It would have been helpful to know that beforehand, just so I could adjust my standards in advance. The service was probably the most disappointing part. My server never introduced herself, never said good morning, never welcomed me, and never asked how I was doing. The exchange had all the warmth and personality of renewing a vehicle registration. The first words out of her mouth were asking what I wanted to drink. Then whether I was ready to order. Then whether I was ready for the bill. Then she answered my question about whether I paid there or at the front. Finally, after the check, I did get a "have a good day," which was nice in the same way a closing credit is technically part of the movie. As an added bit of breakfast theater, I was seated near the kitchen entrance, while the table across the aisle featured what I mentally dubbed the Desperate Housewives of Streetsboro, carrying on a lively discussion about construction, a new kitchen, and the hand towels they were all apparently having to use in the meantime. It was less background ambience and more accidental community theater. For $21.87 for eggs Benedict, potatoes, and a decaf coffee, I expected a breakfast experience and not an exercise in emotional self-service. There were good elements here, but the missing butter, cold potatoes, fake creamer, and indifferent service made the whole thing feel more like a nicely plated inconvenience than a place I would be eager to revisit.

And they serve their coffee in beautiful, antique looking mugs you can purchase. Our waitress was so sweet and checked in on us regularly, refilling our coffee. I absolutely LOVE the potatoes! I got the lobster and Brie omelette which was so rich and flavorful. However, I think next time I would order without the cream cheese filling as it's pretty rich on its own.
