Adorable little resteraunt tucked away in its own little alleyway, food and atmosphere is great a go to for getting brunch with my grandpa.
I worked at The Courtyard years ago and it is one of the only restaurants that I still crave their food after working there. They are very particular in the quality and freshness of their food. You cant go wrong with basically anything on the menu. French fries with creamy peppercorn is a must though! The burgers and pizza are soo good too!
Great food, comfortable yet lively atmosphere, absolutely incredible service - waitress was super attentive and helpful. Prices were great for the portion size! The menu has a wide variety to choose from without being overwhelming. Im definitely looking forward to my next visit!
First time coming here so I got the porterhouse steak!! It was delicious! Didnt need any extra salt and was mouth watering delicious!! Had the steamed veggies and side of rice to go with it! Also didnt need extra salt. Food was cooked to perfection! Definitely worth the price!
Old school pub with the history of Cleveland on display. The food was quite good across a variety of entrees. Sandwich, wrap and penne pasta! Service was fantastic.
Its was very good. My only wish is they had the classic dressing for spinach salad. Frank loved the burger.
Excellent service and food was great. Inside of the restaurant is really nice as well.
I did call about the appropriate phone number about service dogs. I was permitted in because the owner said that he makes the rules. I have seizures and have a certified service dog through the state of Ohio. You broke the law. Check it out
Lunch was certainly edible, but the service was not particularly energetic or effusive, and the place inside seemed a little bit too much like a bennigans to make us say we wanted to return soon.
This place was really nice ! & Erica the barmaid was really nice to us as well. I had the Caprese Salad & added salmon & Shrimp! The salad looked so good. I forgot to take a picture 😩😩 but it was delicious !! I love the fact that they serve spinach as well and has so many things to chose from. My friend order a wrap and a pesto sandwich. It was good too! I had to try it . Lol but This was just a great place to eat. I would recommend to anyone ❤️
Decent portions, good-quality meals. Great Wait Staff! VERY ATTENTIVE!Never had to ask for anything! They always kept busy and worked together like a fine-oiled machine. Nice atmosphere- It has a 1920s Irish Tavern vibe. Interesting Decor.
Just like I remember it! Havent been there for a long time, but the wait staff I knew for years remembered me! Im not going to stay away so long again.
Food and service was very good. It was more like a bar than a Cafe, but no complaints!!
Although we waited 30 min for a table, it was so worth it. I had the lobster tail special and the lobster was taste of heaven on a plate. I never had a bad meal and have been coming here for over 20 years. Our server was great, I m sorry I cant remember her name, but I will check so she can get acknowledged.
Food was pretty good. I liked all the picture on the wall. You can get a good feel for the history of northeast Ohio. Was a little crowded, and there wasnt a kids menu for my son.
I have two things to say one a young waitress you had there very disrespectful my brother asked for a substitution of a salad and she said very demandingly no theres different ways to say no she could have said yes for an upcharge but she didnt very rude and number two mom wanted a medium rare hamburger it was well done terrible
I cant say enough about the service...it is Old Skool and the best! Veteran waitstaff that know how to treat a guest. They dote on my daughter as if they were her grandparent. The food comes out on-time and delicious. The servers make sure that you go home with leftovers. Every childs dinner comes out on a frisbee that you can take it home. If you collect 6 (?) you can get a free child dinner. It has a patio in the Summer and is lovely all year round. It is just cute, clean, consistent and that is how I like my food. My favorite is the salmon salad. The homemade dressing is the best. If you are from out of town, this would be a great representation of Brecksville.
Delicious food, so many amazing choices, excellent, friendly service, very reasonable prices.
The venerable French Onion Soup at Courtyard served quickly out on the cozy, cool patio was delightful.This place never disappoints...after 3 generations of satisfaction. Revisit, why not?
Comfy, cozy, fantastic food with a huge menu including grouper and salmon. Excellent wine and beer selections.
Great service. Food is very consistent.
Service was great. Huge variety on the menu. Nice selection of beer and wine. Food was delicious. Got a burger and fries. Big portions. Had a nice evening with friends on the patio.
I dont know how I havent reviewed Courtyard until now! I have been a regular patron for almost 10 years. I used to work near here so I got lunch about 3-4x a week. I love that their food is scratch made and well prepared and seasoned. My favorite is the Mulligatawny Soup and of course the bread. Ive never had a meal I didnt enjoy here. The 2x baked potato is luscious, savory and tender. The salads are crisp and fresh. The salad dressings are scratch made and delicious. I appreciate that you can choose the bread for your sandwich. The chicken pesto on croissant is my fave. Their sorbets are refreshing and their desserts are unique and delicious as well. I like the batter on the wings and the potato skins (both varieties) are amazing. Their fish dishes are expertly prepared and nicely seasoned. Im also love that they have daily soup, muffin and entree specials. The only thing I didnt like was the chili. Be aware that it is not with beans. Joe at carryout is everything. Cool dude. The staff are always friendly.
Nice big selection. Salmon salad was delicious. Had the Black and Blue salad this time with onion soup. Very tasty.
Great food, came steaming hot. I had rigatoni 1/2 serving. Perfect size. Server was right on the money except once we got our food, we never saw her again.No drink refills. Finally showed up when we were ready to leave. We sat outside.
Wide variety of tasty meals available and a nice beer selection! A neighborhood favorite!
Food is always good. Best and most consistent wait staff of any place Ive ever been to. The only draw back is theyre always busy, which is just because its a great place.
Waitress very quick and not a friendly person - ruins the dining experience. .Also, why can’t anyone at this restaurant accept a complaint . Mistakes are made sometimes - This place needs to accept criticism and treat their regular customers with some respect and more. Every other place we dine at regularly treats us much better & shows appreciation for our frequent visits .My group of buddies decided to boycott this place now.
It is typically very difficult to get a table in this wonderful gem. My hubby and I arrived shortly after they opened this morning for an early lunch. They are known for their daily muffins. Todays flavor was raspberry strudel. It was warm out of the oven when our sweet server presented it to me. Oh. My. Goodness. It was heavenly. Then I ordered the Alpine Swiss sandwich. Perfection. Roast beef, grilled onions, green peppers, grilled mushrooms and Swiss cheese on a croissant. Incredible flavor combination on top of the tender, delicious beef. Ill be dreaming about that meal for quite awhile!
Needs to be on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives because this place is a gem serving up amazing food! Great atmosphere with fresh and unique plates that anyone kind find something to love. Took one visit to be me and my wife’s new spot for dinner!
Always great food, and warm friendly service!
Locally owned place, full bar and a huge menu. Delucious food, and large portions. Great service. I was there on a Monday for lunch and it was packed.
It was crowded but they got us in without a problem. Food was delicious, service was good and the owner was very accommodating and gracious!! Please support your local restauraunt!! See you soon!
My opinion is that the food quality has steadily decreased over the past couple of years. The staff is wonderful. Prices have gone up quite a bit. Creekside is a much better choice.
Good place for dinner or lunch for cheap. Love their French Onion Soup.
Very fair prices on very good food, couldnt believe a grouper sandwich was cheaper here $10.99 than in my hometown of Tampa, FL. Staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was clean and beautiful. Busy place but food and drinks were right on time.
Always a good meal at Courtyard. Love being able to sit outside. First time I had one of their pizzas, and I really liked the crust. I will definitely be ordering another one in the future.
Love this place♥️Excellent menu♥️Always trying different items through the years.Beautiful Courtyard and the diniing area inside has warm atmosphere.Miles of smiles from everyone working there!
Went here for a girls day lunch date. The service was wonderful. Patti was patient with us as we just talked and enjoyed our time together. The food was amazing and the portions we much bigger than I expected. I will definitely be back!
Very rude restaurant practice of informing guests of a STRICT 90 minute stay time starting the minute you sit at a patio table!😡Totally void of restaurant hospitality, the server (pressured by her manager) continued to verbally remind us of the time limit and made the whole dining experience VERY RUSHED and UNCOMFORTABLE.Further, the servers need to be schooled in basic server etiquette because they were literally reaching ACROSS the guests (while we were talking to each OTHER) to remove plates...WHAT RUDE AND ILL-MANNERED BEHAVIOR!😤Covid does not excuse you for implementing this rude table turnover policy...people pay for a meal at a restaurant to enjoy and relax...not to be monitored and rushed out.
My family has been going to Courtyard for literal decades. Excellent service, friendly staff, AMAZING food. Consistently excellent. Best American non-chain restaurant in the area. Michael (one of the owners) is always present & makes regulars feel appreciated!
Good spaghetti and bread. Always a good experience.
I have been going for years. The food is consistently amazing. Great menu! Never had bad service.
Courtyard has always been our go to place prior to Covid. So good to go there again for great food and terrific service as usual. Except for masks and socially distanced tables, it was business as usual. Great experience!
I’ve been eating the same sandwich here for almost 25 years. Roast beef + provolone on a croissant with creamy pepper dressing + fries. Absolutely heaven. We don’t live here anymore but it’s the first place we eat when we’re back in town. It’s a great place for anyone including families. Upscale-ish but completely unpretentious. Just great food, atmosphere and service. Now my children love this place as much as I do. It’s a must try! Reservations on the weekend is probably a good idea.
You will not leave this place hungry. Service is always fast and good. Grilled fish entrees are my favorite. Spud aka the twice baked potato and French fries make me want to eat a dinner of nothing but potatoes.All the employees are great but....A special shout out to the real MVPs-the cooks in the back!!! Delicious food and every time I see them through the clear window they are working so hard and quick. It looks like a madhouse back there. food always comes out quick!Family friendly patio is great weather permitting.
Excellent service. Excellent food. Reasonable prices. My only complaint, you dont get a side with a sandwich order.
Great local diner with tasty weekly specials. Fast service, good portions, great staff. Only issue is the owner can be condescending to servers, however they seem to stay around, especially in this market so guess the $$ is worth it.
Food is great! Service is even better! My wife and I were hungry and didnt know what to expect when we stopped at this charming cafe in the corner of the plaza. It doesnt look like much from the outside but when we walked in, we were surprised. The place is bigger on the inside (Doctor Who fans get it) and they were busy! Despite the crowd, they were able to get my wife, infant and I a table in a short amount of time. We were fortunate enough to get a fun gentlemen named Steve as our server. He was so good with our kid and gave us some good food recommendations. Get the French onion soup! Side salad was OK, but I forgot about that when the pizza arrived. Only regret is that I didnt get more pizza. Guess well have to go back and see Steve, oh darn!
This was very enjoyable, the atmosphere was casual and neighborly.The kids had spaghetti, a cheese burger and a small white pizza.I am a vegetarian, so I had soup and an extra large baked potato, my wife the same.It was very well prepared with a design in the top, looking quite cool!They had micro Brews available as well, and I enjoyed a smooth Kentucky Bourbon Ale.Always good.I would recommend this spot for some enjoyable casual dining.
Great food and great service. Had grilled grouper and a salad and it was a perfect Saturday afternoon lunch. Will be back soon for this hidden gem.
Id probably be here often if I lived nearby.It has a nice vibe, the courtyard is good because its protected from the weather everywhere except the sky.The steak salad I got was very tasty, and the other folks plates had things I would try.
Great place for family. We often go here most of the time for the French onion soup but other meals are delicious as well. Very crowded on Saturday so if you do come Saturday, plan on coming around 8 pm.
Delicious first time visit. Went sunday so had to get the steak and spuds special. Waiter was very friendly and cooperative, really talked up the place. The patio is the way to go, what a view. Even in the rain! Couldnt make room for dessert but wanted to try a cream puff. They look amazing and now have to come back just for that.
This was a great little find. Beautiful courtyard to sit outside. Extensive menu with delicious food. Friendly knowledgeable servers and quick service.
Very,Very good place for dinner! Its not the worst place and its not the best place. Its always consistent. Friendly staff and great cooks. You will always get fresh food. Whenever any of my friends or family is in from out of town, I always take them to the Courtyard. Hands down the best French onion soup in Northeast Ohio and possibly the whole great state of OHIO.
Quality of food went down since bob sold the place:.
Great food and a small town atmosphere. This is a small restaurant and you will have the servers and staff running around bc everyone loves this place. The staff works tirelessly to make sure your order is correct and everything is perfect. Its a very cool place and the courtyard is a very great addition in the summer.
Never had a bad meal or experience here! The food is always great. Love their burgers & salads. They also make a great cosmo martini; not too pink, not to sweet & the right touch of lime.
Nice atmosphere, staff is welcoming and friendly. Food is really good, everything g i have had is always very tasty. Reasonable prices! Has that Cheers neighbourhood feel. Absolutely awesome! One of my favorites!
Very cortious service, sandwiches were very good along with the fries.
Always satisfied with the Courtyard Cafe! Stands out as one of the few decent restaurants in the area. One of the highlights of the restaurant is the ability to get a fresh muffin as your bread choice - they are really good.Expansive menu and nice little outside patio.Prices could probably be 25% lower, but still reasonable.
Love the feel of this place and the people. Hidden in the corner of the shopping plaza I missed its existence for years. It quickly became a favorite especially when my appetite changed and I found the lunch fish portions were more than I could eat. Multiple different fish available and lunch portions available on most fish even at dinner time. Twice baked potatoes and real vegetable meddle not California frozen bag mix but steamed fresh veggies. Wife likes the specialty drinks. Highly recommended also highly recommend you call for reservation in the evenings.
Been going here for a couple of years, at least 2 times a month even though it is a 30 minute drive. Never had a disappointing meal no matter what weve ordered. My girlfriend loves the filet crescent sandwich. Steve is the best. Never steers us wrong.
Courtyard has been our go-to when were around that neighborhood. They have a really wide variety of offerings at reasonable prices, and weve never had a bad meal at this great casual neighborhood eatery!
This place was amazing!! From the ambiance, to the staff, to the food! Not one thing was wrong with our time here. Had filet mignon, cooked perfectly, wings are a great option for an appetizer, definitely would recommend if you are looking in this area for a new place to check out! And no, I never saw anyone go to Marcs to buy meat as one review stated. 10/10 I will be back sooner than later!
Delicious French onion soup and chicken salad. Laid-back atmosphere. Often crowded (because its so yummy and inexpensive), but worth it! Staff is friendly and moves quickly. One of our favorite places for a quick bite.
Wonderful pub style restaurant. Everything freshly made to order. NOT a chain eatery. Menu features sandwiches and appetizers to full dinners including chicken, steaks,chops n seafood. Prepare to wait, but well worth it. Wonderful service .n lively atmosphere. Very clean!
I was waiting outside. While waiting I saw they buy their meat from Marcs.Big time rip off. Owner is pretty rude and staff is same way. Very over priced items. Doesnt recommend this place at all.Everyone is mean at this place.Horrible customer service and very over priced.Original owner sold the place to fat guy. Cafe is under new management and overpriced.
Dinner was ok except my steak was thin and very fatty. Sides were very good and the atmosphere is nice. Our server was awesome!
This place has great food and the cooks really try hard to put alot of flavor into the food. The porkchops are delicious and the ribs were cooked to perfection. In addition, the twice backed potato called the spud was warm and crispy. Going there I could see the staff were swamped and they were trying their best to get the food out in a timely manner. The seating was comfortable in booths but seemed to be a bit cramped with how many seats there were. Overall I enjoyed this place as and plan to go back again!
The service and food are and always have been, impeccable.
Every single encounter we had with the staff was rude and not helpful at all. The wait was incredibly long for both a table and food. Half of the peoples food at our table was overcooked. Then we waited a long time again for the remade food. The food is not that good. Ive had better food at chain restaurants. And it was seriously way too expensive for sub-par food. Perhaps it was a bad night, but we will never go back.
A little overpriced but I didnt have a problem until I found a hair in my food. It really wasnt handled well. It was remade Wrong and Im not sure if it was the manager who brought it out but all she said was whose burger is this. When I said it was suppose to be different she just snatched it away and we had to wait longer. No one even apologized or anything. I was very disappointed.
My favorite restaurant anywhere. I have never had a bad meal or bad service here. The people have been here a long time and often recognize you. It can get very crowded at times, but worth it. There is a large selection. I like the Burger a lot - tied with one other for best in class as far as I am concerned.) the salad, the scrod, the chicken salad and fruit dish, the soups are home made, the French onion soup is my favorite here. I have also enjoyed filet here and pasta and grilled chicken sandwiches and rice, too. The French bread or muffin are worth ordering, the sherbet, muffin, or soup changes daily. Not open Sunday.
Great food and reasonable prices. Very busy at peak dining times. Not a large seating area. Very friendly and accomidating servers. Daily specials worth looking at with good variety. One of our go to places.
Great place. Hadnt been in a while but food still very good & service awesome. Definitely recommend.
Clean, well spaced, good service, food was good. The portion seemed a bit smaller than last year and no salad included, but bread was generous. All in all good experience on outside courtyard.
This restaurant is a MUST TRY! Food is always fresh and made from scratch. We eat here regularly and have never had a bad meal! Everything on the menu is excellent! Service is also always great and consistent!
Enjoyed a nice lunch; great, friendly service, generous portions, and relaxed atmosphere.
This is truly a hidden gem. The only thing that youll have problems with here is picking something off the menu. The menu is very large and everything is very good so its hard to make a decision. Just a little cramped inside but during the summer they open up their patio. The staff is always friendly and the food is always good. I dont think Ive had anything here that I could possibly even remotely complain about. This is a great place for lunch or dinner and my advice would be to try out their patio.
Our meal for four was less than $40, the service was stellar and the food was delicious! We split the Walts Salmon Salad and The Natural sandwich and both were excellent, the kids both ordered from the kids menu and both of them loved their food too! Kids meals come with a frisbee for a plate, and if you collect five of them you get a free meal! They are closed on Sundays, which is the only reason we arent going back tomorrow!
We really enjoy their food. Seriously! This being take-out Tuesday, we ordered take-out. I was surprised, and somewhat angry, that of 6 employees I saw behind the counter and kitchen, only 1 had a mask on and that person was wearing gloves too. The two up front (answering phone and packing orders) were not wearing masks nor gloves. I dont like posting this as much as it being read. Were talking close contact with food here folks, not walking past your neighbor 6 away. If were gonna prevent the spread of a virus, ........just sayin.
Used to be really excellent local family oriented restaurant when quality food. I havent been there in 3 or 4 years. The quality of the steak salad has deteriorated (not worth it any more), overall, slipped from 45 to 23!
We were trying to find somewhere to eat that wasnt a chain restaurant or fast food on our way home from Cedar Point to Pittsburgh when this came up in my search. Its not to far from the turnpike and was easy to find. Its obviously a local favorite because it was pretty busy when we arrived on a wednesday evening around 5 p.m., and by the time we left, there was a line waiting to be seated. Staff was friendly, the chicken pesto sandwich was very good, and I will definitely stop by again if Im in the area.
Nice decor, good service, great food. The pesto was excellent. A very comfortable restaurant, we will be back.
Always good food made fresh. Cant go wrong with anything off the menu. Service always friendly. Patio is great in the warmer months but get there early to get a table!
Ive been to the Courtyard a number of times and usually have no complaints. However, the server this time seemed to be rushing us even though there wasnt a crowd.I ordered the chicken cordon bleu and the meat was far too dry and the cheese not melted. The cole slaw, fries and bread were delicious.
The service was top notch. Very very good. The food was fantastic. Cant ask for more. Great dinner experience
Ordered cheese pizza to go was very greasy couldnt imagine if i would have ordered it with sausage or pepperoni. And spinach artichoke dip was all cream cheese.. Dont know what they changed but it was definitely not what we have ever experienced there before .Not quite sure if i would order either again.
Great food, COVID crazy though. Cant wait in the restaurant for your table, go wait in your car!! Let me know once its safe again to eat there, you guys are outta control.
First dine in experience since COVID-19 and sat in the outdoor dining area. Service was excellent and meals were as great as ever.
Wonderful resturant for a date night! Great Food and Friendly staff. Also seems to be busy. Little difficult to locate - its back in the corner of a small shopping center. Love the place!
Fresh food, cooked how you will like. The staff was friendly and prompt. A little noisy so if your looking for something more quiet go elsewhere but other then that a perfect place for a good meal.
Nice little bistro style restaurant located in the Brecksville plaza. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. In the summer there are outdoor seating. French fries are made from fresh potatoes and are awesome. Very good hamburgers and salads.
We get take out from here all the time. Ate in the restaurant for the first time in a long time. Great service and you get so much food. Everything was delicious as always. Even though there is a bar it is a very family friendly place.
35 year patron. Great management(Michael)and amiable employees, friendly regulars, consistently good food at reasonable prices and unpretentious vibe. Daily specials and menu could stand some new tweaks would be my only suggestion but otherwise theres always plenty to choose from regardless. Fully stocked bar keeps my fave Yukon Jack on hand at my request. What more could one ask for from a longtime neighborhood establishment? :)
We love the Courtyard. It is a local favorite and for good reason.The French onion soup is wonderful. Salads are great. If you like fries, get them work the Cajun spice.
This place is my favorite of all time. The homemade chicken salad and French onion soup omgosh! Wonderful home town feel, absolutely love this place. I always recommend to anyone asking where to eat!Thank you Courtyard!
Went here for lunch with a co-worker and we were both very impressed. The atmosphere was comfortable, the food was great and the service was excellent! This place was clean, inviting and I love the location.
Best french onion soup Ive ever had. The twiced baked potatoes are amazing too and the pesto chicken sandwich! Great service, food, prices, and atmosphere!
One of the descriptions we read before we came here said that this place was a restaurant in a strip mall. That doesnt do it justice. My wife and I just enjoyed a good meal and and excellent jazz trio on beautiful summer night in brecksville. The atmosphere in the outdoor patio is much more private hacienda with a brick tiled courtyard adjacent to the indoor pub, than a strip mall. Dont miss it !
Love this restaurant for lunch. They are very accommodating to our group. We meet every month and they take care of use like we are first time visitors. The food is always fresh and delicious.
Okay. The Cafe is one of the best kept secrets of Brecksville. I just happened to stumble across it when I was stopping for dinner at Simmons. The food and service was the best. I dont know if wearing a uniform had anything to do with it, but again it was Great.
Food was good. I like the tuna salad & fruit. Staff very good. I appreciate that they are wearing masks. Thanks.
Courtyard Burger is amazing. Excellent sides and the muffins are great. A local favorite and #1 draft pick for immortal restaurants, I havent had or heard of bad service in my life.
Great food at reasonable pricing. Variety of fresh seafood and meat entrees as well as salads, delicious burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and pizza. Never had a bad meal. Generous drinks, beer and wine. Expect a short wait for a table. Super takeout service, too.
Best meal Ive had in a while. Definitely a hidden gem in Brecksville! Will be returning, a lot of variety on menu.
Very good food and service. Definitely would recommend!
The food was very fresh, service was great and the atmosphere was peaceful. One of our favorite places to go to eat.
First visit & looking forward to going back. Busy place, great atmosphere, extensive menu. Terrific service!! Food was served hot & was very tasty.
This place never fails to disappoint. Favorite place to take our visitors. Expansive menu with options for everyone. The best waitresses who make your dinner even better.
Have loved the Courtyard for years! Always good food, always LOTS of food for the $$. One of the first restaurants I ever saw (many years ago) where any server would stop and help clear, or get you more water, whether you were their table or not. Warm & inviting
Always godd food and very attentive and friendly staff. Great wine selection. Make sure to make reservations, especially friday night to avoid wait times up to 40min
Nice atmosphere, good value, fresh, tasty, hot food, and a friendly wait staff!
They had great food, good service and a nice atmosphere!!
Great little restaurant that can meet all wants with a very big menu. No matter what your looking for they probably have it to cook for you. Highly recommend if you havent eaten there yet.
Salads are great. Burgers are great. Fish is great. Their Texas Tumbleweed Salad is a super fun salad. Their house-made dressings are awesome! My favorite thing about The Courtyard is their bread, though. It comes to your table hot and steaming and full of delicious.
Always a great place to eat. Staff are upbeat and friendly. Everyone genuinely makes me feel like they really appreciate the business.
Awesome! Had the salmon lunch meal. It was very good. My friend had a steak wrap which she enjoyed. Definitely will return.
Hands down, our favorite eatery! Relaxing pub-style inside, awesome Summer patio dining, variety of top notch menu selections, including homemade soups, muffins, and dressings. Best salads, burgers and pizza around. From soup and sandwich to steak and lobster, The Courtyard doesnt disappoint. And to top it off, you can not beat the service! Consistent, friendly and delicious! Our Brecksville Cheers!
Me and my family have been going here every Friday for about 10 years. Service is amazing especially sue and Toni and the food is the best
My wife and I went for date at Courtyard on the recommendation of a friend. We were impressed on everything from soup, appetizer, and our main courses. We do not go out much, but when we do, places like this is where we would like to go.
Place is not inviting. Very dark. Lasagna was suppose to be homemade but taste worse than Stouffers. Spinach Artichoke was the best thing on the menu. Will never return. 1 star
The food was great the actress fear was nice I never ate so much Im so full yum yum okay
Classic mom and pop restaurant with tasty food and friendly service. Lots of business lunches happening. I would definitely go back in spring or summer, they have an awesome patio....
Perfect spot to have an outdoor lunch in their courtyard! Love their salads, homemade dressings with fresh baked muffins and french bread. Ive never been disappointed for lunch or dinners!
Have been dining at Courtyard regularly for 35 years. Always have a wonderful experience with all the staff - anything you order is top notch. Cant recommend it highly enough.
Bad. Do not go there. Menu the same for 25 years. Owner trying to live on the past. If you write a bad review, they ask you to leave ( grif cannot handle criticism nor can the owner Mike.). Overpriced for what you get. Big time rip off.
INCREDIBLE. Great food and good atmosphere. The French dip was the best Ive ever had and the spinach and artichoke dip was to die for. This is our new favorite place!!!!
Some things are fair priced. Some a tad higher then it probably should be. The food is good. Service is good as well. Casual dress or shorts work as well too. Its a good place
Love the Courtyard! Its where I had my first date with my now husband. The French Dip is the best I have ever had. The fries too. Excellent Service :)
A short drive from the toll road, but totally worth it! Deceptive facade. Just looked like a strip mall joint, but English pubsy on the inside. Chicken pesto sammy was to die for. Hubby had the French dip- Fantastic! Dont know if the fries were truly hand-cut, but that was the style and they were fried to perfection. We completely recommend it.
This dining experience from service to food to atmosphere was top notch. The menus selection was large. Our meals were well prepared. The cocktails were also 👍!
Wonderful service and food. Waitress was very attentive to our table. We were with our 93 year old friend. Thank you!
A real nice place to relax and unwind
Food was ok. Service was very good and their parking lot was nice to get in and out of. Great location with shopping and banks in the same plaza.
Great food and service. Floors are a bit greasy so be careful
Decent food and an okay atmopshere. Always a little busy, but a quiet crowd. Cajun fries taste good but are on the greasy side.
Best place i ever been, when you dont know what to eat anymore, go to COURTYARD CAFE, its there, for you!Great job MICHAELSpiros
My absolute favorite local place to eat. Everything on the menu is good. It gets very busy so reservations are a good idea.
Great food and alot of nice selections.Friendly staff.
Food was great, and so was the service! A little pricey, but good all the same.
Food was nice, on the weekends during the summer they have live music on the patio which was nice. Decent prices for drinks and overall a good time.
Best French Onion soup in the area, keeps me coming back again and again! Comfortable and classic American cafe & bar with lots of local flavor and history.
Food and prices are good. Its a fine place to meet people. The decor seems outdated though. I think they attract an older crowd.
Lovely patio. Food was plentiful and delicious. We will definitely go there again.
This is the best restaurant and bar in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights area. Best variety of food, great service and friendly atmosphere! Cozy booths, tables for groups, and a Cheers bar! What every restaurant should be!
Fast, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere and a perfect breeze. Plus the food was simply delicious. What a nice relaxing lunch!
Fantastic, attentive, and quick service! Their burgers are big, juicy, cooked just how you ask, and LOADED with whatever topping you get. Will be back!
Great Staff, and decent food quality. They have a nice parking arrangement and the prices arent bad for the quantity of serving size they give.
Great little mom and pop atmosphere. Good for everyone kids to seniors! highly recommend coming during evening in summer, live music
French 🍟 fries very good!
Great staff. Great service. Twice baked potato is a must!
One of my favorite places. Twice a week for sure. New owners have even impressed food ,service and establishments greatness.
Worst steak I have ever been served. It was missing any sauce as decribed on the menu. The whole meal was blah. Seating is ridiculous.
Cant understand why this restaurant hasnt expanded over the years. They have the greatest food ever. I wish there was more space.
This is one of the best places to get lunch in Brecksville. Food is amazing. The soup of the day is always a winner. Fresh rolls, muffins served daily.
I had a burger and added a ton of extras. Nothing special and the avocados were not ripe. The home made soup was excellent though.
Food was good. Steak a little fatty. Service was not as good as it has been in the past.
I normally am very satisfied with what I order. However, tonight I ordered the fruit cup as a side dish. Over priced for the small portion that was served.
Always a good experience. Food and service is consistently A+. You always know you will have a good meal and great service.
Great food at a very reasonable price. I love to eat outdoors. Only four stars because the service is slow.
Great little spot that ive finally stopped at and ate. Local music during the summer that was nice to eat along to. Would definetly recommend stopping by and trying their ribs!
Ive been eating here 6-10 times a year for over 30 years and never had a bad meal or experience.
Entertaining when they have live music, food was good... not great but service and location make this little mom and pop restaurant very nice addition to brecksville.!.
The waitress was amazing! Helped us with everything we wanted and made sure to check for foods with my allergies.
Have been eating at the Courtyard whenever possible for more than 25 years. The Courtyard is fun times, good people, and great food in relaxing atmosphere with unique ambiance.
Wonderful restaurant with delicious food and fabulous service and a pleasant atmosphere...I have been eating at the Courtyard for years and have always had a great dining experience!
This establishment has never let down over the years. Quality food quality staff and service. We love this place
Been coming here since I was a kid and I’ve not once had a bad meal. Probably tried half the menu to this point and several things not even on it anymore that they were willing to recreate for me
We loved this place when we first moved to the area. I feel like the quality of food and service has diminished in the last few weeks.
A Brecksville staple. We have been going here for many years. Great food, wonderful service, take out is spot on.
Had takeout a few times here. Excellent service and food. Will definitely go back!

Courtyard has been our go to place for years. Great food at reasonable prices. Service is always top shelf and friendly.
Food is usually consistently well prepared. Salmon is my favorite. Pizza is excellent too.
I went for lunch, & had french onion soup, & a cresaunt roast beef sandwich. Which was the best I ever had. The waitress was a little loony but, the food was excelent.
Good ambience. Outdoor seating is nice. Love their bread and muffin. Most of the dishes are great

2022-06-03Ive eaten at the Courtyard numerous times and the food has been consistently excellent. The French onion soup is the best Ive ever tasted. It is, in fact, a family favorite. Generous portions, too - none of us can finish a whole meal. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere at reasonable prices. All in all, a terrific night out.

2022-04-16Courtyard has a wide array of tasty foods from salads, burgers and pizzas to many different fresh fish and steak dinners. And they have twice baked potatoes too. Call them to let them know youre coming to avoid dinner rush line.

2022-04-16Turkey pesto sandwich is one of my favorite meals and not just at Courtyard but in life in general. Lindsey is one of the nicest waitresses Ive ever had.

2021-03-05It took a few visits to realize this place had a bar in the back. The layout is rather unique. I tried their Tenderloin Salad recently and enjoyed it. It is kind of unique with sautéed onions on top.

2018-05-22Nice place. Nice outdoor seating arrangements. We went for our friends 82nd birthday. We ordered pizza for ourselves and birthday girl 82 ordered a sandwich. Her 87 yr old husband ordered grouper with rice and vegs. It took almost over 50 minutes for our pizza to arrive. When it came it was over baked and they offered to get us a fresh one. We said we have already waited this long, not going to wait another 45 minuted for another. We were hungry. So we settled for that though pizza. Our birthday girl and her husbands food took another 10 minutes. It was nice that they realized the mess up and took the pizza off our bill and served two nice slices of cakes as compensation. It was crowded. They take reservations wife we didnt know. There sandwich and fish was good. Cake was very tasty. Dont know if we will go back there any time soon.
