Where is the Best Breakfast in Cleveland, Ohio?
The Diner has good food. I recommend the burgers. They are cooked they way you order them, which can be hard to find in a restaurant. The french fries are fresh cut. Portions are reasonable. Not worth driving across the city for, but if you’re in the lakewood area, it’s worth a stop.Pros + service, inexpensive
Cracker barrel is a chain that is definably several notches up from fast food. Rustic farmhouse setting with rocking chairs on the porch and good rib sticking food – I have never gone away hungry. It may not be romantic, but the large fireplace hearth makes your feel at home on a cold blustery day. Country favorites will definitely get your day started, and the dinners will make you feel like mom made her Sunday best for the family dinner. There is a country store in the front with neat country Knick-Knacks and the kids love the “old time toys” and candy. Good value for the portions served.Pros + Down home atmosphere – good country food – cozy like a warm blanketCons – Not very romantic, but the wife and I enjoy breakfast w/o the kids 😉
Juniper Grille is one of our favorite restaurants. There are few places in town that serve such imaginitive, tasty dishes at very reasonable prices, and in such a lovely space. Yeah, there is free parking – very unusual for downtown. Try the tuna wrap (with a delightfully undercooked piece of tuna and tasty Asian sauce), mushroom ravioli (yum), breakfast pancakes (delicious), and terrific desserts.Of course it’s busy. That’s because people have discovered how great the food is! I hope it re-opens for dinners (it’s now fall 2005). Maybe the Chef/Owner is finding private parties more lucrative (his catered affairs were great!) Please, people, go there, and go there often. (It’s on the southwest corner of Carnegie at E14)Pros + Great food, Great prices, free parkingCons – Closed for dinner
