    Just your normal local diner/greasy spoon! I really enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. The interior is pretty cute and our server was very nice. I will say that our table was pretty sticky so I'm not sure about it's cleanliness. The pancake I ordered was overcooked (refer to photo) and did not taste very good. Other than the pancake, we were satisfied with our meals. The sign that is posted in their parking lot is funny and sad at the same time. I'm loving the pettiness! (See photo for reference)

    Stopped in to Chagrin River Diner for lunch. Chagrin River Diner is located in a corner in…read moreWilloughby. Inside is a busy dining room with roughhewn decor, lots of light wood and plenty of fish items. The open kitchen takes up one wall with counter seating, then some 2 person booths and a step up to bigger booths with menu chalkboards. The menu is divided between breakfast and lunch/dinner. Fairly classic diner menu with the significant difference of steelhead trout as a protein option. I ordered the seafood chowder and the steelhead hash. The soup came out in a minute or two, a very nicely presented small bowl of thick chowder stuffed with shrimp, fish and seafood, nicely seasoned and topped with some green onions. The chowder was delicious and very hearty. The hash was out a couple of minutes later, a plate loaded with diced potatoes, onions, peppers and pieces of steelhead trout topped with 3 over medium eggs and sided with 2 homemade biscuits. The hash was very nice, although if I get it again I would ask them to crisp up the potatoes, the trout works nicely as it is a mild fish with just enough flavor to stand up to the hash, the eggs were tasty and the biscuits were excellent. Overall a delicious and satisfying dish. Chagrin River Diner is a real find, it serves upscale diner food in a comfortable environment at reasonable prices. Service was great, the atmosphere is unique for the area, this place would feel right at home in a Rocky Mountain resort town. I will be back to Chagrin River Diner and try some of the other menu items.

There were some other people playing a card game at the other end of the table. There's also other tables and couches around. I also liked the separate kind of game room in the front, seemed like a great place to host a small book club or meet with friends. As I was scanning the menu to make my drink selection, I felt the eyes of both baristas staring at me the whole time. I kind of felt out of place or like an outsider for some reason. Maybe it's just me, but it made it uncomfortable. The coffee selections were pretty basic and I don't remember any food options but I wasn't looking either. It does seem like a comfortable place to chill with a drink or get work done, especially with all the couches, but it was a little too dark and somewhat odd to me.

    I frequently long for a restaurant with homestyle meals. That type of meal seems long forgotten…read more Like a proper meal with potatoes and bread (that's my Eastern European soul speaking). Joe's Avenue Eatery excels at this serving hearty soups, roasts, meatloaf, chicken paprikash, and other hearty dishes. I've visited the restaurant after my first time years ago. I should have returned sooner, dinner was so delicious. AMBIANCE: The place feels like you're dining in someone's spacious kitchen while watching TV (college sports). The place is simple, vintage but somehow very homey. It's great for dining solo and in groups. Various seating options like tables and booths are available. The crowd tends to be older. The people who dine here actually look at each other and not their phones. The multi course meal makes you also slow down and properly enjoy dinner. FOOD: The menu has multiple pages of meals that would appeal to any taste. They have all day breakfast, seafood, sandwiches, stir fry, pastas, burgers, wraps, soups, and more. Everything that I tried on the menu is really good and tastes homemade. My most recent order was Fork Tender Pork Roast Dinner ($16.99). The meal is a fantastic value. It comes with a side, veggies, bread roll, one visit to the salad and soup bar, free dessert (if you dine in). I first visited salad and soup bar selecting chicken soup from two options (the other was veggie). The soup was perfectly hot but at the end of the pot (not much chicken). It still tasted homemade and hearty. Pork roast was one of the best pot roasts I've ever tasted, meat was perfectly tender. Gravy was just delicious and plenty. The roll was still warm. Mashed potatoes were a bit chunky but that added to their homestyle charm. The entire meal just made me so warm and cozy. I took about half of my meal to go, it was pretty big serving. But really it's because I wanted to leave room for my favorite dessert - spumoni ice cream. I think of this ice cream often. It's served with whip cream, chocolate drizzle, and contains very tasty nuts. I can't wait to eat the rest of my meal at home. The eatery has plenty of specials for weekends and weekdays. If you dine between 2-5 PM on Monday-Thursday, you can get $11.99 meal. That includes tasty options like Grilled Pork Chop, Beef Liver & Onions, Polish Sausage with Pepper and Onions, and others. I really enjoyed Beef Liver & Onions. I miss a good place the can prepare liver as an Eastern European. Amazingly even $11.99 meal includes a trip to salad and soup bar. SERVICE: The service was top notch especially considering that the dining floor was served by two waitresses. My waitress Lisa was so attentive to all customers and so pleasant. Honestly five star service. I look forward to the next meal here and already re-reading the menu to plan my next hearty dinner. I saw Chicken Paprikash on their weekend specials list on the way out. I'm a huge chicken paprikash addict so it might be my next meal. I highly recommend checking out this eatery with your family for a homestyle meal and meaningful conversation.

It was hash browns with corned beef, Swiss cheese and two eggs on top with a side of toast. It was an ample amount and we took some home in boxes. The food was tasty, service is great and reasonably priced. Look forward to returning. Had a nice time just chatting with my dad over a nice breakfast.

I did not live in Cleveland as a vegan, and being able to come home and support a local vegan business gives me so much joy. I went with my sister and husband and we each ordered a sandwich and hash brown patty. I also got the Buckeye Latte because when in Ohio you have to have a buckeye! The employee at the register was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I asked her many questions, and she had an answer for everything. The latte was the right level of sweetness and so smooth!! It is challenging to get quality vegan lattes and this one I would order again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the Chipotle Turkey sandwich, my husband ordered the ham and cheese bagel sandwich on a French toast bagel (employee recommended combo), and my sister got the Fiona Hammich. Birch cafe makes their turkey and ham in-house and I was so excited to try their vegan meats. Of the sandwiches I was happiest with the Chipotle Turkey sandwich. The spicy mayo on it was delicious and it had avocado too! I thought the turkey was hearty, a good texture, and flavorful. It didn't remind me of turkey but I honestly like when vegan meat is clearly plant based. My husband's bagel sandwich was a wonderful breakfast treat. The bagel choice was fun as it added a sweetness to the savory meal which is a favorite flavor combination of mine. My sister LOVED her sandwich. For me I enjoyed the flavors in my turkey sandwich more, and she was fine not sharing more than one bite with me. We purchased a large chocolate chip cookie and a turkey meal to take home. The chocolate chip cookie was one of the best I ever had. It was soft and chewy. I would definitely stock up on those cookies next time I am visiting. The turkey meal was such a fun post-Thanksgiving Day treat. My family loved the carrots the most! They were in a creamy horseradish sauce. It was so unique we all could not stop talking about the flavors. Thanks, Birch Cafe, for an amazing experience. I will certainly be back next time I am visiting family.
