I love the old school vibe all this place. The servers are friendly. The food is very good. If you like more intimate places to eat this is a great place to have breakfast.

Cheeseburger and fries.

Great lunch last week. We walked in and were able to seat ourselves. There was not much of a crowd. The service was good. They do have some cool decor which I will have to get pictures of next time. I had the bacon and swiss burger, fries, and q cup of chili. The chili was absolutely fantastic. It was hot and had just enough spiciness that it wasn't overbearing. The burger was delicious. It came with bacon and swiss cheese, go figure given the name. It also had lettuce tomato, onion, and pickle on it. The burger came out hot. The patty was a nice size. The lettuce and tomato tasted very fresh. In all it was a very good burger. The fries were fresh cut. I would have liked them a little crispier but they were very good. In all it was a great lunch and I would highly recommend.

The soup is advertised on the window!

I walked in to be greeted by a woman on her phone. I asked about the soup that is advertised on the window. She simply said no soup without even looking up from her phone. I asked if that meant no soup today or no soup at all. She replied again no soup! Very rude! Not very inviting!

Another great lunch at Sidewalk. Service was fast, friendly, and on target with orders. The grilled chicken gyro is a perfect light lunch with very good flavor. Everything tasted fresh. The bacon cheeseburger with two patties was a huge portion. Again, great flavor and prepared well. Everyone knows the fries are the best.

Very cute diner feel!

I had never been here (or most places in Painesville) but a recent meeting found me in the area. I totally overestimated how long it would take me to get there (morning traffic usually sucks) and wound up an hour early. Thanks to Yelp I found this cafe near by. It's totally an older looking diner - several booths and a breakfast bar with stools. When I came in, I was greeted right away and the breakfast Rush was over (there were 2 dudes sitting at the bar, and people in 3 or 4 booths). I read the previous reviews and it seemed the biggest complaint was the service. I'm happy to report that I had great service. My waitress was training a new girl, and they both were nice. My waitress seemed to know pretty much everyone who walked in, greeting them by name. Regulars make me more comfortable with a place. I wasn't starving so just went for eggs and toast. My coffee cup and water were never empty, and the coffee was good enough (I never expect the best cup of my life or even great from a restaurant) - it had caffeine and hit the spot so I was happy. My table seemed clean and I appreciated that the waitress checked in on me without hovering or being annoying. Was it a fantastic breakfast? Nope but it was good and I ended up taking some toast home. Plus it was very reasonably priced. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but if I was nearby I would certainly go back. Their lunch menu looked promising.

Sat outside for over a half hour and wasn't served. Had waitresses come out and totally look right past us. Worst service in a while.

We visited barrel house nine and we're glad to be greeted immediately at the door and seated. The…read morewaitress came right over asked for our drinks which we both ordered water. The atmosphere in the place is very nice. Perhaps a little loud but that's pretty much what you expect in a bar atmosphere. so the waitress came over took our order immediately we I ordered the vegetarian pizza a small, which was a six cut and plenty big more than enough for me. I ordered it without cheese because I can't take the dairy. It was it was delicious my husband ordered the fish dinner with the fries and it was crispy and delicious. We ordered their onion rings to begin our eating with and those also were thick cut onions with the breading crispy. It was delicious for the amount of food and how good the food was the price matched up very well. Our waitress was very efficient and very friendly all the way through the entire time we were there for dinner the manager/owner went around the room talking to different ones and making sure that the meals were served on time and that they met his requirements since we live close by this restaurant we will definitely be back many times over.

This is a compromise rating. The food was around a 4.5; the rest, about a 3.5…read more We ordered a soft pretzel as an appetizer. Good news: It was excellent. Soft and chewy. Queso was thick and stuck to the pretzel instead of dripping. Bad news: It didn't come out until after we'd finished our mains, and after having to ask about it several times. (They did take it off our bill.) One of us ordered an Italian salad. Good news: The salad that came was fresh and tasty. Bad news: It wasn't the Italian salad, but just (apparently) a house salad. (They adjusted the bill accordingly.) Two of us ordered patty melts. Good news: They came out on time and were, indeed, patty melts. The addition of mushrooms to the usual cheese and onions was a good chef's choice. Bad news: We requested medium rare. These were medium to medium well. It was a busy time. We had reservations and were seated right away, but others were told the wait was an hour. (The place was largely cleared out by the time we left, though.) However, it seemed adequately staffed; we saw several servers rushing back and forth.
