Near perfect food and service!

I came here for lunch this afternoon. The hostess/cashier was very nice and perky, though a little flaky. The girl server was also very nice and perky and definitely knew the menu and specials.

The place was very busy…More »

Cheeseburger In Paradise isn't exactly "paradise" but close enough.

B-Spot reminds me of an blah basement turned "man cave" by HGTV's finest. They have motorcycle parts hanging from the ceiling, a chandelier made of deer antlers, a collection of old beer cans covering a large part of one of the walls, a wall of sexy…More »

TGI Fridays reminds me of the "Chatsky's" place from the 1999 movie "Office Space"- flair all over the servers AND all over the wall, but without the cheesy stereotypes.

Clean inside and outside, and with the right amount of lighting inside, TGI…More »

Warm colors, stone walls, big screen TVs, activity and chatter from the many customers, in an overall relaxing, get away from it all setting on the inside, with friendly, hard working employees. Very fun, very casual, yet not messy and not too crazy…More »

Steak N Shake has joined the mini-burger race. Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to win. Their mini-burgers, which they call "Steakhouse Shooters", have too little meat (the mini burger patties were literally flattened during the cooking…More »

There was a flier for this Beef O Brady's location in yesterday's Plain Dealer newspaper. This flier had an outlined menu which sounded promising so I decided to give this place a try.

Good, casual place to go to before an Indians game (and probably a Cavs game, too). This place reminds me of the Cubby Bear in Chicago (which is across the street from Wrigley Field, home of their Cubs)-- very casual, lots of chairs and tables, the…More »
