    Old fashion little restaurant
    Cecilia M.

    They're open, great news! Had a nice time reading bits and pieces of newspaper snippets about there past. All the way back to 1940!! Talk about nostalgia and being taken back to simpler times. The waitress was very nice. I wasn't hungry so I ordered something simple. My husband had biscuits and gravy and he loved it. My mom had French toast and two pieces of bacon. My advice to them when business picks up and things get better, please invest in sugar alternatives for those who do not use regular sugar or Sweet'N Lo. For example: Stevia or Monk Fruit. Although I would be happy with Splenda. So not being able to drink a cup of coffee with a better sugar alternative was a little sad. But I'll survive and I hope "The Whip" survives as well. The other great thing was that my elderly mom was able to pick up the check and it was South of $20 for three people with tip. She was so pleased. She said oh wow, that's good.

    This is classic restaurant that has been here since 1940. The soup, burgers, and fries were GREAT. On Tuesday 8-15-23 around noon a single employee was running the whole restaurant and she had been there since 4am, this is an example of hard work for young people. Many generations of people have been coming here.

    Dinner side salad

    Took the family to The Whip this evening for din din. We were seated immediately as the place wasn't full. I was expecting a long-standing establishment such as this to be busy on a Friday night. Our waitress was friendly and she quickly took our drink orders. I ordered a root beer and liver and onions for dinner, which came with a salad. Actually, I let my daughter order for me, and she chose liver and onions. It was pretty good...all liver tasting and such. I haven't had liver and onions since I was a kid, but it appeared to have been cooked well. It was a thin slice, I'll bet, because liver has a strong iron flavor. I finished it, but I probably won't let my daughter order liver and onions for me anywhere again. I'm hoping I got some kind of health benefit from it. I got a side of mashed potatoes, which came with gravy too. They were tasty. No beer - bummer. The side salads could use a little sprucing up too. We sat next to the pay phone, which not only works, but they use it. There were at least two incoming calls while we were there that the waitress took while leaning over our booth. Interesting, but not unusual in a 76-year stronghold. My family said their food was good. The meal went pretty quick, which was nice because we wanted to get home for the Cavs game! I'll be back to taste the pierogies.

    It had a very old-fashioned feel to it with the old booths, a pay phone, and old cash register.

    What a find! We loved this brewery. We don't live in the area and visited as part of the Cleveland…read moreBrewery passport. It was such a cute brewery. The beer was great. We even purchased cans to take home. The staff were so friendly! They food was very good. They have a mug club and by the looks of it there are lots of members. If we lived closer I would definitely join. Looking around the room there appeared to be many regulars. If we venture that way again we will go in the summer to sit on the patio.

We were seated right away but the dining room was very full and it took a little while for our server to make her way to our table. She was very friendly but obviously managing a lot of tables at once. By the time our server got to us we were ready to order. I tried the Shrimp and Grits, which were fantastic, flavorful and well spiced. The classic schnitzel dinner was also great, the breading was crisp and the meat was juicy. We also ordered the winter salad with salmon. Delicious! The schweinhaxe was what brought us here on a Sunday evening as my dad has been wanting to try it for a long time and there's limited availability. It is a slow smoked pork knuckle served with a side of apple bread pudding. My dad reported that the knuckle was tender and flavorful, smoked well and the bread pudding was the perfect compliment. All in all, all of our dinners were delicious and fresh. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu!

The entire place is neutral colors and even had some cute swing benches. The have a counter you walk up and order at. You get a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready. If you dine in, you eat from real plates and glasses which is nice. They offer a nice selection of to go boxes that you can also grab yourself, too. They don't serve their pizzas until noon, so that's what time we went and what a great decision! I had the Blanc pizza, and requested it well done as my normal preference, and it was delicious. 6 slices, a nice size. Very flavorful and cost $15. I also had the Bacon Cesear Wedge, which was not traditional wedge salad, it was made with romain - that luckily was still very crisp! It was a good portion, but could have been a little cheaper at $16. The bacon was made fresh, it is an open kitchen concept with a window so I literally watched her make it which was refreshing. Overall I have no complaints and look forward to going again soon!

I was skeptical reading the reviews, but this place is fantastic for a daytime cafe. It's Tuesday so the foot traffic is manageable. I asked a lot of questions at the register because it was my first time. The gal working was receptive, authentic and patient. I got the margherita pizza and peanut butter chocolate mousse tart and a rose matcha, iced. The water station is easily accessible. silverware and grab your own boxes Togo , I appreciate that and definitely has to reduce interruptions to staff while they work. There's a window where you can watch the beautiful creations get assembled. Upstairs has a lot of seating, some plugs for devices. Only thing is the stairs feel steep and made me dizzy lol, proceed with caution.
