I finally made my way to Borderline Cafe, and it did not disappoint! It was everything I needed in…read morea small local diner with good breakfast food. A few things to note if you decide to try it out: there are no reservations. Seating is first come, first served, and a line forms outside in the benches. Hop in line and expect to wait about 15 minutes. Very casual and smooth! Also, they take card but would appreciate if you paid cash to cut down on credit card expenses. You get a fun treat if you do! I started my breakfast with some freshly brewed coffee that they kept topping off throughout the morning. I also get some fresh fruit and the strawberries were sooo sweet! Get the fruit, because it's a nice snack while you wait for your meal to come out. For my entrée, I ordered two buttermilk pancakes and a side of eggs scrambled with cheese and the home fries. The pancakes were fluffy and the syrup was nice and thick. I loved how the eggs came out. They were cooked perfectly with cheddar cheese. And the home fries stole my heart. How a restaurant prepares their home fries sets the tone for me anywhere. They were seasoned very well and I could tell that they are a great foundation to the entrees on the house specialties menu. I will be returning to try some of the savory dishes very soon!

I can confidently say this is one of the best "Biscuit & Gravy" dishes I've ever had!! I loved how…read morethe restaurant creates a tower with cheesy scrambled eggs (enough where you can see the cheese pull with every scoop) as the foundation, followed by a fluffy biscuit to top it off. The dish is drenched with their delicious and creamy gravy, which complimented very well with the spinach, mushroom, and turkey sausage chunks (extra). This is a huge portion and can easily be shared by two people! As for my sweet craving, I ordered a side of their Kid's Spelt Pancake (essentially a smaller version of the entree size), and the pancakes were made perfectly! The pancakes were fluffy, layered with small apple chunks for a nice, crispy crunch, and topped with a homemade whipped cream -- I could literally eat their whipped cream for days! It was super creamy with a light sweet aftertaste. If you're looking for a dangerous savory sweet combination, look no further!! The service was quick and the staff were incredibly kind. Too bad I was only visiting or else this would be a staple in my brunch routine.

We got the bourbon burger, the buffalo chicken sandwich and wings. It was so good. I am giving this place a 9/10. We waited a moment at the door but once we got seated we had attentive service. The beer selection was vast. The waiter was very knowledgeable and even let us taste test option before we made our selection. College football was on the screens. So you know that made Mister happy. lol The food soooooooo good. We debated if it was the best we have had in Cleveland. We settled on this is in our #2 spot. The only reason I am not doing a 10/10 is bc I would have like the serving size to be larger. lol

I have driven by the Winchester many times and have wanted to go in. They have a vegan night every Monday which is appealing. The bar was very nice with just enough seating. We sat ourselves and were given menus right away. The staff was very nice and helpful. I ordered the tofu scramble, which was good. The tofu itself was a little on the salty side for me and the potatoes were dry. I still enjoyed the meal. I ordered the Moist Pickles. They are named after one of owners whose name is DJ Moist. They were spicy and good. I will be going back for vegan night.

We parked in the back which was convenient for going to the west side market after. The patio is bright and well decorated with flowers. (Pansies is perfect for this chilly weather and while too cool to eat outside, it was nice to walk through the patio). The inside is rustic, wooden tables, a western /organic decor. A friend recommended the bone broths. I ordered the chicken. Yum. Very warm and wholesome! I also ordered the power bowl with Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, chili nut oil and an egg on top. It was delicious. Filling, so I took some home. The service was excellent. The people were really friendly! Looking forward to coming back to try other amazing things on the menu!

I think I was oversold on the whole "health food" situation happening here…read more As someone who doesn't eat animals, I genuinely like healthy food, and I'm exactly the kind of person who should be excited about a restaurant making thoughtful ingredients and dietary options part of its identity. Instead, the whole thing felt a little less "we care about what we feed people" and a little more "we would like you to know that we food better than you." There is a weird food elitism to the branding that would be much easier to swallow if the actual food backed it up. Unfortunately, for the price, mine absolutely did not. The menu talks a very big game about clean ingredients, non-GMO everything, special oils, organic this and carefully sourced that, but at some point the food still has to taste good. Healthy food does not need to be boring food, and expensive food definitely should not be boring food. I left feeling like I had paid a premium for the philosophy of my meal rather than the meal itself. To be fair, our server was incredibly sweet. She was warm and lovely and was easily the best part of the experience, so none of this is a criticism of the service. I was also genuinely surprised to see balloons being used as gifts for kids. Maybe that sounds nitpicky, but when a restaurant markets itself so heavily around wellness, conscious choices, vegan options and doing food "better," disposable balloons feel bizarrely off-brand. You cannot sell me environmental-adjacent food virtue and then using gimmicks like a 6 year olds birthday at Applebee's. That was kind of the theme of TownHall for me: a lot of messaging about being thoughtful, elevated and health-conscious, without enough substance behind it to justify either the attitude or the bill. Cleveland has too many restaurants making genuinely interesting vegetarian and vegan food for me to pay this much just to be lectured by a menu. Sweet server. Great location. Lots of dietary options on paper. But for the price? The food needed to be a whole lot better than "at least it's non-GMO."

I did not realize the Coffee Pot was here or would have been a lot sooner and a lot more often. There are only about 6 tables and another 6 or so seats at the counter. Coffee from a Bunn pot.

The food is made to order, so not fast, but my omelet was delicious and the price was great. Definitely a solid diner!
