    a plate of food on a table
    Ira K.

    We were going to go to Grumpy's cafe for Father's Day but at 9:00 the wait was already outside. So we looked for an option and went here. It may not be the best looking from the outside but i would take this place over a few places that I have been. The omelette i had was one of the best and the potatoes were exceptional and nothing was covered in grease and they also grind their own beans for coffee. All i can say is do not let the appearance intimidate you enter and enjoy some home cooked breakfast.

    View from counter seat.

    First time here (previously Sal's Diner), ordered carry out by phone. Large parking area in back. Small old school diner inside, can see the cook working feverishly in front of the counter seats. Maybe another 8 booths for seating. This is owned by the previous owners of Steve's 24hr Diner on Biddulph Road, that recently closed. This is about the same, open 24 hours and breakfast all day. The employees were pleasant and my order was perfect. I really enjoy their breakfast here and the famous chili dogs. For 2 breakfasts and 4 chili dogs came out to $22. You really can't beat that price anywhere. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed.

    I've been passing by this place on my way to work for four years now and finally decided to stop. It's a very small spot but a very good one. All the food is made fresh on the grill top right in front of you. I like that. I also like how their potatoes are made. Not shredded or cube theyre true homefry hashbrowns. The melted butter with the French toast was a great touch. Definitely worth a visit!!!!

    When you park, you aren't sure where, by you find a spot to fit in perfectly. Then you peer in from the outside, barely seeing in, and see that it's 24 hours. "Oh wow, I didn't know that!" We came in late on a Sunday night needing sustenance. We enter the door and see locals: some converse and others sit quietly---couples from the bars, clubs or a night of drinking and then individuals talking about their latest and greatest shitty job. The diner is old like the 70s and the menu is handwritten in multi-color dry erase. The ladies are welcoming, warm and it's like being at home. "This is going to be great," I say. I think, "this reminds me of my friends from high school... the goth was friends with the anarchist who was friends with the hippy who was friends with the neo-nazi." Portions are generous. This is a staple diner for breakfast or a "veal cutlet with gravy---hold the gravy." Nobody in Cleveland OFFERS you a hot sauce bottle this big. #Business.

    It's an old diner. A bit grungy and outdated but clean. Fast, friendly service and good cheap eats. This is an update... Don't judge the interior of this place! We have become regulars here and every time we come the waitresses are so friendly, remembering that I drink decaf (it's true), for example. It's that plus the simple but hearty and tasty food at great (cheap!) prices that keep us going back, especially for breakfast. It may be one of the best kept secrets in Cleveland; thankful they are in Brooklyn Centre!

    Near perfection in a small, "greasy spoon" breakfast joint. Took my daughter here on a recent weekend and have a fantastic experience. Everything was perfectly cooked...eggs were large, home fries really tasty and not overly greasy, thick-cut pepper bacon was crisp, pancakes had a delicious flavor (not overly fluffy), good coffee. The waitress asked us about each breakfast item in detail (like, do you want regular bacon or crispy) and each item came out exactly as we asked for...you gotta love that kind of attention to detail! Prices were very reasonable and they take credit cards...another plus. But the coolest thing about this place? Nearly every person that got up and left (as we sat there enjoying our food) knew Sal by name and greeted him as they left, thanking him for their meals. To me, that kind of feel and caring is what a great neighborhood restaurant is all about. We will DEFINITELY be back!

    Open 24/7 I went here for breakfast and it was great! The place looks run down and feels like you're maybe in the 70's. But most importantly the food is great!! I'm telling everybody that I know about it. And it's cheaper

It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side.

The place was packed, but the wait for a table was no problem at all--it was clearly worth it. I ordered the French toast (and calling it that doesn't do it justice). It was apple cinnamon toast layered with sweetened cream cheese, Ohio maple syrup, and Nolan's milk bread--and it was beyond anything I've ever tasted. Every bite had my taste buds popping. I couldn't finish the whole plate, but only because I was full, not because I wanted to stop. The space itself is small, cozy, and incredibly charming--cute, quaint vibes that make the whole experience feel warm and special. Truly an unforgettable brunch. I'm already dreaming about going back.

Friendly neighborhood watering hole literally on the corner and basically across the street from the a Christmas story house allowing you to eat within eye sight of the leg lamp. I wanted basically everything from the menu that came vegan (spoiler alert there are tons and tons of things) but gastric space comes at a premium on vacation so we settled on the fried cheese.

It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted.
