    Rye toast, Special - Eggs & No Meat, grits
    Mary B.

    Good breakfast..cheese in 2 egg since they do not make omelets, despite veggie omelet written on the cafe window. Grits were hot and tasty. I appreciated cook realizing he sent out eggs with wrong cheese in it and sent out correct order, but I hated to waste good. Pretty quiet morning when I was there. Good service.

    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.

My friend had the cheesesteak and fries and he liked them both very much. The fries are hand cut and delicious. All of the food came out piping hot, which seldom happens in a restaurant. Our server, Sam is the best!!!! She came over from BRox and these guys are just so lucky to have her. She is an absolute peach. She does lunch, so go in and see her. These guys have a full bar and a very nice beer selection. The dining area has booths and low and high top tables and can accommodate large groups. The interior is warm and inviting and the patio outside is really nice! I honestly can't wait to go back

The bar looks awesome, very large open area, can't wait to go back to hang out and have a few drinks. The food was unreal! My son got wings that were crispy and full of flavor, I got French onion soup and a quesadilla, which were really good. My wife got chicken marsala, which she gets quite often at other places, and she said it is the best she has ever had! This place is a local gem that if you haven't been to, you need to go. Looking forward to going back soon!

    What a special find. This local diner was recommended to me several times and I just never seemed…read moreto follow up on it. So the other day my wife and I decided to go for lunch. Well we drove out to River St. in Grand River in NE Ohio. On a heavily commercial road in an older neighborhood there it was, "Sammy's Family Restaurant". An older building with parking on both sides and around the back. So we parked and went inside. At the front door we were greeted by a sign that said, "Seat yourself at a clean table". As we wandered over to a nice location we noticed small, laminate cards on the tables that read "CLEAN". So we sat, and when the waitress came over she picked up our sign... quaint and efficient. We wandered through an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It had everything you could possibly want. Really, the choices were 5 pages long. So I ordered a kosher dog with kraut and fresh cut fries. My wife had a cheeseburger with fries as well. Both were large, perfectly prepared and the fries were amazing. It was almost more than we could eat. But, we had to try the rice pudding I saw on the menu. We ordered coffee and a rice pudding to share. The pudding was awesome! It was clearly home made. So, as we were preparing to crawl out of the place because we were so full. The waitress brought us the check. I think my eyes almost popped out of my head. It had a grand total of only $25.00. I looked at it twice and showed my wife. We couldn't believe that excellent experience only cost us $25.00. I told the cashier what a wonderful surprise her place was and we would definitely be back. You should definitely go too.

Decorated for Valentines Day. Ceiling tiles are coffee cups. Cute. Staff super friendly. At least 3 people greeted us. And servers all talked to us at the counter. We ordered. I got a bowl of soup and side salad. Soup was a hm cream of broccoli. Side salad was good size. But only had tomato and cheese on it with iceberg lettuce. Could have used a cucumber or olive or something. It was fine. But very basic. Soup was hot. A pet peeve that was not peeved. LOL! My partner got a BLT on rye with fair fries. Good as well. Lots of bacon. Overall, good experience! Everyone seems to enjoy their meals. Prices are very good. Don't miss the specials on the board in front. Those aren't on the menu so they are specials. I'd go back in a minute.
