    Clean, Great Tasting and Cheap Kristina's has all of the usual diner perks like forever flowing diner coffee in those iconic brown diner mugs. There's that awesome mix of Clevelanders in and out of here. A great diverse mix of black, white and hispanics from what looks to be all spectrums of backgrounds (these are just broad statements to further the point of how diverse the crowd is). This is a great Cleveland diner, period. The place is tucked away on Lorain Ave. with ample street parking. When you walk in Kristina's you're greeted with a friendly hello and instructed to sit anywhere you want. The diner is a mix of traditional 4 man booths and large tables that can fit at least 6-8 hungry Clevelanders. The biggest thing I noticed in comparison to a lot of affordable "greasy spoon" diners is how clean and put together Kristina's is. There's signs and knick knacks with different pictures of superheroes and actors along the walls. The furniture has charm but is not run down. Too many times I walk into diners that have broken booths with holes and springs popping through them. But Kristina's is a great example of how it should be done. Now to the food! The food on the menu doesn't stray from your usual diner specials like omelettes and home fries, pancakes and French toast and any combination in between. I can say there biscuits and sausage gravy are a step up than most diners that usually use a crappy powder mixture. Overall it's fresh diner food that is not caked with butter and oil. One thing to note is they don't mind you asking to hold the mushrooms or other ingredients you may not want in your dish. Top of the list for a great cheap breakfast

    The look of this place reminds me of the restaurant Patsy's Pies on the Showtime series Shameless! It's only open for breakfast and lunch, but what makes Kristina's cool is that you can get a meal and drink for around $7 + tip. You can get a solid breakfast for about a dollar or so less. I used to live in this neighborhood and still work in the area, so I try to hit this place up from time to time. Today I had the patty melt which comes with fries and a cup of soup (soup of the day was chicken and rice) washed it down with a can of Diet Pepsi. It's your typical greasy spoon diner in the City. Good prices and decent food. Probably why its been open for as long as I can remember.

    This is a remarkable place. First and foremost, the food. Jeremy is clearly a genius at pickling…read more We tried pickled everything. It was all amazing. When I walked in, I had to settle for an unbelievably delicious scrapple sandwich because they were temporarily out of pastrami. Scrapple with a handmade, red, cabbage, slaw, onion, marmalade, and cheese. So creative and so delicious. My wife had asparagus and fennel soup. The fennel perfectly cut through the richness of the asparagus. Add to this one of the best potato salads I've ever had and it would've been enough. Until Jeremy came over to the table with some fresh pastrami to taste. I don't know where the best pastrami in America is, but whatever it is it's unlikely to be better than this. This is a place you should not miss.

I love supporting what they have going on here, and its no surprise that they've been James Beard nominated multiple times. The rotating menu of sandwiches always deliver. The fried chicken is the staple I like the most, but my husband prefers the pastrami. Those are the two I always recommend newcomers start with. The best sandwich they make, in my opinion, is the fresh & fried tomato sandwich. I watch their Instagram posts like a hawk in August when I know the local tomato crop should be coming in, and then I try to go at least twice while it's on the menu. Sitting outside on a sunny day with fried tomato juice dripping down your chin is a version of my heaven. Don't sleep on the rest of the menu, though, where the pickle selection, house-made sodas and egg creams, and baked goods almost out shine the mains.

They're soft and flavorful and lemony. Just so perfect. The restaurant has a cute vibe, and the workers are nice.

However, it's not so great that I'm inclined to go out of my way, and the prices are higher than expected. I got a cheesesteak, but spicy like the voodoo sandwich, and just like the voodoo chicken sandwich it's good, but it's not great. It's spicy, but it's not so spicy that it's voodoo! The fries are good, but there's no beer on draft or anything like that. It's just hard to understand why in Cleveland you're paying $18 for a cheesesteak that costs $12 in NYC at a bodega that's open 24 hours a day...they also need to put more cheese on that cheesesteak Staff was kind, parking was available, and there is ample seating.

    Located just to the side of Hingetown, and walking distance from the main strip of W. 25th near…read moreWSM, Little Cloud is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The store is arranged sort of like a New Orleans shotgun house, where its not very wide but extends far far back into the building. In the front, you can find seating and you'll walk back toward the kitchen to place your order. I'd add it to the growing list of great sandwich places in Cleveland - all of which are in the general Ohio City area (Herb & Twine and Larder being the other two). What differentiates Little Cloud is the fact that they offer breakfast sandwiches, their very good bread, and that they're serving sandwiches up with some of the best french fries in town. As far as sandwiches go, my husband and I have tried the fried cauliflower (a seasonal special), turkey & brie and fried green tomato BLT - all of which have had a stand-out sauce on them, and in the right ratio. We can't wait to try more in the new year!

    This was my second time at Little Cloud and first time for lunch. I ordered the Nashville Hot…read moreChicken sandwich, fries with house seasoning and a side of the peppadew aioli. The sandwich had great flavor. Pretty messy, but worth it. My only suggestion (if they're taking them) is to consider pounding the chicken a little flatter. One side was so thick it was hard to eat and maybe just a little drier than it should have been. It didn't detract from the taste. As other reviews have mentioned, the fries with house seasoning are incredible. The peppadew aioli was great too. I want to try the other sauces, but I may have liked this one too much to deviate. If you're planning - and able - to finish your whole sandwich, you could probably split a "fries for 1" between two (but you might not want to). It's counter service, and the person who took our order was helpful. Not much seating if you want to eat there but overall a cute spot inside.

They have about 8 or 9 sandwich options all made to order on a crispy focaccia bread. They also offer my favorite, San Pellegrino Italian sodas and homemade chocolate chip sea salt cookies. They slice the meat for you right there and it was all super fresh. I got the #2 which had salami, prosciutto, and capicola with burrata and pickled hot peppers. The sandwich was good and tasted really fresh. I really enjoyed the burrata. I also did not miss the fact that there was no sauce or spread on it. I'm not a huge fan of crispy or hard bread, so I think I would have loved it even more if there was a soft bread option. I definitely look forward to returning though, maybe they do have another bread option available, I didn't ask. You can also customize the sandwich, so I would have added some arugula. The cookie was incredible!

Our server was delightful - you could tell she really cared about our experience. You can provide good service but for her she took real pride in it and really cared about making sure our meal was good. We really appreciated that. Space is pleasant in Battery Park - I think I like the Akron location a touch better, warmer, less industrial feeling but it's not bad just personal preference. Note: be careful on parking they have a few spaces in the narrow street immediately in front of the restaurant but the parking lot around the corner adjacent to battery park is permit only (and you'll be towed!). If the ones immediately in front of the venue are take you need to park further down (west) on 76th.
