Open 24/7 so its a convenient place to stop and eat. Friendly service and usually pretty prompt getting the food to the table. Food is really good and decently sized for the price. Cant go wrong with breakfast and the burgers are amazing
This place is open 24 hrs, so my expectations for such an eatery are rather relaxed. We arrived during the wee hours of the morning. Service was efficient, the food was decent, and our complaints were few. There is/was a visible security officer present, which some might find comforting. All things considered, this is a good pick for late night grub.
Excellent diner! I have never had an issue here in the dozen visits Ive made, at all times of the day and night. The staff is great, the food is consistent, and the prices are fair. My friend and I both ordered the Sunny Morning breakfast schedule and it did not disappoint. Our server was down to earth and very friendly. This has become my go to diner when I want something casual
I lived in Lakewood, Ohio years ago and this was always one of my favorite spots. Back then it was a little hole in the wall. Today, its remodeled, has a bar, and full dessert case. Service is friendly and fast just as I remember. My burger was hot and perfectly cooked medium. I dont spend much time in my old neighborhood anymore, but My Friends reminds me that its good to go home from time time.
Ended up here on a Monday night due to the waffle house in Willoughby (see my other review) turning us away. Let me tell you what, Im glad they did. Clean restaurant, huge portions, friendly staff and the desserts are wonderful! The meatloaf is great, mashed potatoes are homemade, omelets are humongous and the overall atmosphere is chill and relaxing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! We went back on the next Friday with my mother who came to visit because it was that good.
Louis was amazing!!! Black forest cake amazing!! Country fried steak and a strip steak for the price amazing!!! If you need a 24 hour spot in Cleveland laid back try My friends always a good trip everytime i go like every single time. Be friendly and watch its truly amazing. Tender steak perfect potatoes what more can a drunk ask for?
My eggs is well beyond saving. Overly done for benedicts. For not so busy place in the morning (3 waiters and a few tables), I was greeted to be seat anywhere I wanted. It took them 20 minutes before taking my order and offer something to drink. Overall experience was not pleasant for a first time visiting customer. But if you are a regulars, they may treat you differently. Or maybe I just got the short end of the stick.
Went late at night and I got breakfast and everything was cooked fresh, was very yummy. I was part of a large party and they accommodated us quite well. 5 stars for our waitress Heather. She was warm and pleasant.
The chicken tenders and fries are the best thing ever. Place is always packed but always worth it. Its open 24/7 so its a life saver on those nights you drink a little too much. Awesome little diner.
Stopped in to get some warm beverages and a slice of cake or pie as a dessert from an earlier meal. It had been a few years since our last visit (thanks covid) so I was looking forward to visiting again.The restaurant was busy and the wait staff was hustling and bustling to cater to all the tables.The reason for the 4 star instead of 5 was due to the fact that two of the three folks in our party wanted hot drinks they were told were not available due to a machine that has been broken for several weeks. I would guess the global supply shortage means they are waiting on parts but it was disappointing to both of them regardless.The desserts were excellent. We got a slice of cherry cheesecake, orange creamsicle, and Italian lemon cake. Each was shared and divided and quickly devoured. Cant speak to the quality of anything other then what we ordered but the food passing by our table for other patrons looked excellent.Was nice to see some of the same faces and staff from several years back and the staff was engaging and friendly as always.Would completely recommend my friends if you find yourself in the area. It has always been a great 24 restaurant to meet with friends and have great food.
Im literally sitting here right now 2/24/22 @7:15 am.. I walked in about 6:45 said good morning, didnt get a gm back,I sat down and someone juuust came to speak to me and asked if I wanted something to drink. The same young lady I had yesterday morning. The older people are sweeping around me, pulling garbage down the aisle Im sitting in and not once spoke to me but giving everyone else great customer service, smiling and laughing with them. I felt really invisible here and theres literally no one here dining in... Hopefully my food is better than the customer service
Lived in Cleveland my entire life, and even Lakewood for a while and I will admit it took me way too long to try this place. Its great! Dont sleep on it! I love everything from the breakfast, to the gyros, to the chicken panini sandwiches. I recommend this place to all my friends and family.
Nice Counter nice dining area excellent breakfast eggs home fries toast $4.99Fresh cakes! wonderful waitress clean safe affordable well run highly recommend
Good food, straightforward diner food. It also had some unique menu items. Place was trapped in the 90s but that isnt necessarily a bad thing in this case. If youre expecting hoidy-toidy, dont go here. If you want good food, great friends, a welcoming atmosphere. This is the spot! Definitely well named too.
Food was great. Service was horrendous. Ive been a patron here well over 12 years & have seen service decline here with every visit. Had to ask for silverware three times, asked for water..never got it, waitress started cleaning off a table instead of tending to us. She was so distracted, scatterbrained & strung out... shes lucky my husband paid the bill because I wouldnt have given a tip whatsoever.
Such a great catch all restaurant. Open 24 hours and the service is just as great at 3am as it is at 10am or 5pm! Modest prices and ample parking.
Love this place when you need a late night meal! Especially after a bar/club or game night when everything else is closed that offers comfort food. Only bad thing may be the wait sometimes, but like I said when uts the only place in Cleveland open and offering comfort food, it may be worth the wait.
So happy to find a place late night for food, my expectations were not high. The food and service were amazing highly highly recommend. This is my second time back when in the area felt the review was needed.
My Boyfriend and I had our first date there 9 years ago. Today we were seated in the same booth we were in at our first date. We love My Friends Food and Staff.I must also say the Cheesecake is Amazing 🤣
Love it here this is me and my husband late night spot. This photo is the fried mushrooms and calamari. It was so good!
The place surprised me. The facility was clean & the waite staff in uniform. They are open 24 hours / day. The food was good and reasonably priced. The staff was freindly and attentive. I look forward to going again.
Very loud and obnoxious customers slamming into the backs of our seats after we got a chance to sit down. Poor waitress looked really overwhelmed and it took forever to get what we asked for. Food was pretty good but really expensive for the quality and amount. We went to pay and the man running the place acted really hateful.
Cori is an awesome Server. Good people. Great food. Keep me on my diet.(Sometimes I stray and enjoy their eggs Benedict)😁❤
Our first time going, this morning, and our LAST!! I asked him do you have TURKEY SAUSAGE?? YES. WE ORDERD 2 BREAKFAST WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE, slice of cake. 17.00. they are have a conversation about the turkey sausage. It took too long! We he came with food there is 1 breakfast, and cake. THEY THOUGHT WE WERE TO STUPID TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TURKEY, AND PORK!!!
This place hasnt changed much since the eighties. Its a decent diner with decent food and service, good late night hours. Thumbs up.
Waited 30mins to be greeted and 45mins for water. Spent $50 on two burgers & mac and cheese bites all because waitress rang it in to charge us more. My friends..... More like my opposition after our experience tonight.
It started put good but then I noticed a family of people of color they seem to want to rush them and me and my friend was just talking the waitress got a little pevid fir some reason I want coffee she brought hot chocolate she did not listen food was good but dont try to sit to long if you are of color...
The idea is nice but the food does not meet expectations. My husband and I went here for a late bite to eat. I had waffles, eggs, bacon, and home fries. Waffles were shriveled up and cold, homefries cold, eggs were ok, and the bacon was not edible. My husband had the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and cream of broccoli soup. Meatloaf was cold, the potatoes had a layer on them that you can tell was from it sitting out. This would be a great place for a bite to eat after a night out beinh that ots so close to downtown but the food quality needs to be better. Not sure if we will give them a second chance.
1st impression nice clean place wonderful deserts in the case sat right away had some specials prices not out of wack then a lottle down hill from there 5 people came in after us all served and out the door before us we had ordered tater t I ts as an appetizers open meatloaf sandwich & philly sandwich meatloaf came out cold ,0hilly was ok but still waiting on appetizers i guess they forgot them in the fryer and made charcoal they apologized we were ready to go they brought them out anyway. Gave my eife a piece of pie for trouble still got charged for tater tots really wanted to like the place but i dont think ill be back.
Awesome place to eat. Great food. Good price. A 1 Service. Totally recommend this place 👌
I can not put into words just how good the food is. I havent enjoyed food at a restaurant in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone.
Great diner! Stopped here on my road trip from Boston to Denver and I want to go back! Friendly staff and quick service.
Probably the best diner I’ve ever been at. They’re open 24/7, amazing soup, quick service, and out of my many meals I’ve had at My Friends, I haven’t ever had a bad meal.
What a nice place. Very clean and very polite helpful staff. I really enjoyed the experience. I had the stacked Ruben sandwich and fries, then the hummus app. It was all fantastic! Will definitely be going back!
WeI like that you can have a glass of wine with dinner and they have AWESOME DESSERTS WE go at least once a week,Matt is an EXCELLENT WAITER,the special s are always good
The food was deliciously hot, well-seasoned, and the portions sizes are more than generous and the prices are reasonable. The awesome customer service makes the experience even more enjoyable.
Very nice atmosphere! Staff were friendly and food was good. Wish it was seasoned more but, I always overload with seasonings on my food.
Food was great. The waiter we had was amazing and super friendly. Would go again!!
My Friends is a cool local diner. Kinda dated, but having it open 24/7 is awesome. Food is pretty good; big sizes. Depending on when you go, you can get great service or horrible servicem. If you go late at night/ early morning (1-3 am) the service is not so great. Tonight we had decent service. Our waitress was very kind and gave great suggestions. I dont have a huge sweet tooth so I have not had many of their cakes, but they all look delicious. Ive heard good things!Be careful of refills. They will charge you a whole nother drink price for a refill and extra lemons. That sucks. Im not paying while 2 bucks for a teabag-- just get a refill of hot water.I will come back. Overall a great experience and I would recommend this place to those looking for good food at a late hour whether you are sober or drunk.
Great food no complaints reasonable prices for a good size portion , my order was the double 1/3 pound burger with fries and the salad was my roommates
Excellent place for a late night bite or an early morning breakfast as the joint is open 24/7. Looks like it has undergone some renovations recently, the atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. Prices are very reasonable with quick, friendly service.
For a family diner they do a pretty good jobFood is ok, but I especially like the friendly service!
24 hrs of quality food awesome service & a really cool local atmosphere. One of my favorite late night places in the country.
Most delicious desserts and a good variety nice home cook Mediterranean American menu meals dinners lunch and more 24-hour service
The food came out fast and was really tasty and the portions were generous. The restaurant itself was lovely. Well spaced between tables and wasnt too loud, even for a busy place. The cakes looked amazing, but will have to try a slice next time.
Diner. Big menu. Oddly I dont feel like it has a super friendly atmosphere. I cant put my finger on why though. Staff is adequate, some quite friendly. Food is tasty, but sometimes a little mismatched for the atmosphere. But that is the food is better than youd expect. So thats a bonus actually. Just feels more greasy spoon than the food actually is in most cases.
Our first time eating here. We picked up at around 9:00 pm. Ordered the honey fried chicken. It was overcooked and hard. Ordered the corned beef sandwich. It had a nice dollop of inky black grill goo on the bottom of the sandwich. I wouldn’t have seen it if was picking through it to pull out the all dry shriveled pieces of meat. Looked more like grayish beef jerky than corned beef. It was inedible so I had to throw the whole thing away. No dinner for me, it seems. Ordered a cheeseburger. It was edible.Overall I’d say it was a complete waste of $35.
Service was good Food average at best . Used to be really good gone way down Hill.
First time here. Very satisfied with everything we ordered. (My daughter told me that we would be.) Desserts looked amazing. We will definitely come back when we visit Cleveland again.
Good for ONLY late nights. There is Waffle house on the east side... then there is this place on the west side. Food is just okay. Typically really busy on weekend nights. One thing great about this place is the hot chocolate. Best food there is probably the reuben...
Took 45 minutes for them to come by and take down our orders as we were about to get ready to leave. There were 3 other tables who were also waiting to served for around the same amount of time. The food was alright, not anything to write home about but good enough that you can at least eat it.
Thank God for 24 hr diners. We went here after a night of drinking and the sandwiches are immaculate! The staff was so sweet and its such an adorable place with an adorable name. If you ever need a late night bite this is the place to be!
Food was ok, more or less like eating a frozen dinner at home after a drunken night out.The crowd was off-putting to say the least. Meaning, there was a lot of societies undesirables at 1 in the morning and there was a police officer there to take control over the rough crowd.Only reason for 3 stars instead of 1 is because of the friendly and patient waitress that we had. You could tell she was struggling with everything going on but still kept a smile on her face.
Three strikes and your out. We used to really enjoy eating at Friends. Fact is, the last three times we have been there, the food has been awful. Our last three meals have been either over cooked, cold, under cooked, or just plain taste bad. The beef stroganoff I just had was nothing more than overcooked noodles with beef and gravy. Tasted like grease. I wouldnt be so down on Friends, but the prices arent cheap. That stroganoff was $15.00!. Not worth the price at all. I gave Friends three stars because the service is always outstanding. Its really hard to find a decent family style restaurant these days, so I am sad we wont be going back.
A perennially great place to visit. But word to the wise? Come at a decent time. Food is great for a diner, but the wait staff could use some training.
One of the last few places to be open 24/7. I usually always get the Benedict.. and had great results.. but honestly just being open when needed is an edge enough.
Fun diner vibe. Large menu of favorites. Generous portions of nicely prepared dishes. Friendly servers. Amazing array of fab desserts.
First time going there the waitress was really nice she gave great service and the food was delicious well be returning again very nice people polite working at the restaurant well refer to other people for a place to go and eat highly recommended thank you for the great service. Sincerely Tina
The food was good. But the service was great.
Staff are very rude and food is bland. Hostess at the front kept screaming to everyone asking who was picking up and who was waiting. Ummm were all waiting for different reasons, youll have to be more specific. She didnt smile once the whole time I interacted with her and it took like 15 min for me to be seated on a Saturday afternoon. The waitress rushed my girlfriend through her order after we indicated we werent quite sure what we wanted and then when we were off-put by her insistence we order as quickly as humanly possible, the server asked Is that all?? and proceeded to explain that she likes to get people through their meals quickly bc more tips that way. It was like 2pm on a Saturday honey I promise you that me finishing the french toast on my plate 20 min earlier will not bring you more tips. She then gave us the check while neither of us had even started on our food and said let me know if you need anything else. Maam, we barely received the anything we came for! At the end of the meal, the cashier at the front practically forces you to announce your tip to the whole restaurant (most likely bc they know they wont get them otherwise), and I ended up paying like $40 for a chicken panini and french toast. Yeah no thanks, Ill go to Nicks in Ohio City next time I need brunch.Another time I went here with a friend, the server nearly forgot we were there, took forever with the food, and never refilled my coffee. It was a completely different time of day, but the exact same experience. Hit up literally any of the other brunch places in the area next time you consider going here.
If you have to go here only with cash!! The waiter will use your card to charge an additional amount other than the amount you wrote down. Our waiter was wiping his nose right before he grabbed our plate to hand it to us.
This place is 5 star especially if you check out my dude Lewis. He is an amazing server. Food is real good. Get there, ask for Lewis.
Always fantastic. Great prices and portion sizes! Havent had a bad meal here ever.
As always this place is a great place to go no matter what time of day. As usual the food was great and the staff was fun and awesome!
The eggs Benedict have been PERFECT every single time I visit. Super friendly staff, too!
I usually come in for breakfast , first few time were great … now I don’t know what happened . They bring out burnt food , the cooks don’t listen to none of your request … they don’t even scrabble your egg as many times I been here, constantly messes up home fries ?! . The female manager with glasses get mad at you , because she can’t multitask . I swear being nice gets you no where . Servers take a while to get to your table , Silverware is always dirty .
Waitress was wonderful food was excellent. Great food and service.
They have beautiful people that work there and prices are very reasonable very fast serves waitress is always on task time with tables we would recommend this place to everyone
Great any time of day or night.Comfortable Food Place with good desserts
My Friends. Thee place to go after a night of drinking if youre on the westside. Ive been here while the sun was out and its still a solid place to dine. But it really shines when your out with friends lowkey or highkey drunk and you need food at 3am. The food will not knock your socks off but it is amazing at the right time of the night. Photo is steak and eggs with hash browns, pardon the quality. Service is always friendly and prices are very affordable. Interesting dining experience at 3am on a Saturday. Lots of memories here. Definitely a place to check out.
Oh my word!!! The best pancakes Ive ever had outside my home. The hollandaise was skeptical... but everything else was really good. I also had the my friends benny... the crossiant was so buttery and flaky! Will definitely be back.
Good prices, large portions open 24hrs. Always a great place.
Their quesadilla was one of the best I have ever had. Plus customer service was excellent.
I have always enjoyed My Friends Restaurant. Thay are open 24 hours. The food isnt greasy and the staff are always polite. The prices arent that bad as well.
Bad customer service to non white. Made me feel so uncomfortable. Didn’t see no one not once sanitize or wash their hands. The lady behind the counter whipes her nose then goes to touch whatever is around her.
Decent food great desserts phenomenal service
It was a recommendation from another store. The space was nice. The server, she was so friendly and kind. The food was a B+. My friend simply wanted pasta and she got it, I got good food and was good. My other friend got pasta and the amount of oil.....wow.....
Not good as it use to be stale toast and greasy potatoes use to be my favorite place it is hard to find a good place for breakfast that is not a franchise
Took the red head there, both of us was our first time.The cost was about normal 2 everyplace we go out to eat. It took longer than normal 2 get our meals but they were hot. I had a corned beef hash and eggs with wheat toast.My girl had a patty melt and she had chosen tater tots. They were the best tots I ever had, cooked perfectly.Portions were very big. The place was clean and the girls are very friendly and helpful when u order, telling u the substitutions you can make.I was suprised to find free parking in the back.I am not putting any pictures, I saw the cake display up by the front door and those cakes look delicious.I will take my pretty girl back Friday night.Kentucky Mike
The service was wonderful. There was this waiter who was on top of his job. The food was on point. I would go there again.
Writing this review to simply praise staff member whom I believed was named nick. He served two very drunk chicks the greatest service ever at 2am on a busy Saturday! Love my friends will always patronize.
As good as diner food gets. Let’s not pretend this place is a place that’s it not. It’s a place to go get food after a night out. A place to get greasy cheap and tasty food when you’re half in the bag. It’s good and the servers treat you well enough.
Our server was very kind and attentive. My husband and I ordered breakfast that came out in less than 10 mins. Home fries were awesome, my omelette was delicious. Would definitely recommend
Good rubin sandwichWaiter seemed off a little
Delicious diner food, ooen 24 hrs, had some vegan options.
My go to place for smiles and post partying relaxation! Bring your appetite and leave with new friends and memories. And did I mention the best part? Its 24 hours! Yummy!
Nastiest place ever I ordered a southern catfish plater I bite into it an it was half done I tell the new waiter abt he the it bac guess what they did yal slapped the catfish bac on the grill an bring the same catfish bac just down right nasty yal need to tighten up
Excellent food! Very wonderful hard working staff!
Nice and quick service. The food it good and they have a variety of different selection. I love it here, my go to place. In and out in a hour and they were busy but quick.
Food was delicious. Server was very nice and offered excellent service. Not many 24 hour diners left anymore so it was nice to come across this place. The fries were the most perfect french fries I think Ive ever had in life.
Terrible weak coffee, no cinnamon on French toast, everything was bland. 31$ total wont be going there ever.
This is my go to spot for lunch. Im always received well. Everybodys always friendly & their customer service is exceptional. The foods always hot & delicious! Their cheesecake is soo good too! Check out their daily lunch specials. See you soon! Enjoy!
This was an interesting place to eat. Right on the border of Cleveland and Lakewood this place seemed like it belonged in a small town. The waitress was kind, attentive and witty. This was our first time there and we caught the vibe that this place has a lot of regulars. The food was hot, quick and tasted great. The dessert menu was full of mouth watering cheesecakes! Whatever you order, you need to leave room for dessert.
They advertise on their website they have fritters. When we got there they dont even know what a frittata is. Otherwise, food was ok.
My friend was in town with her daughter so we decided to go have a bite we went there around 2am with 8 years old the place was packed everyone was drunk , loud and cussing it was very uncomfortable we decided to leave right after we got are food all three appetizers were cold we didn’t finish our coffee or our food.
Went in order some food it was quick and well done just how I like it.
My favorite late night eat! Especially after having drinks! Food is always great
We were not sure about stopping here, despite the positive reviews but I am happy we did! Our waitress was really nice and the food was great and the portions were big enough to take home leftovers. Their desserts were amazing as well.
My favorite early morning spot for good affordable food & cakes! Now bad ppl discovered it & tryna ruin it for ppl like me!
My friends is pretty clean and usually quick service food is pretty good
Umm. What the hell happened to this place!?I went for breakfast with my daughter and the waitress did not listen at all! I order the French toast combo that was supposed to come with eggs and bacon but for some reason she didn’t give me any eggs and actually charged me 2 different prices for bacon and I never order any extra bacon. Also the coffee tasted like dirty dishwater!! Had coffee grinds in it and was not even warm!! I’ve never had such a horrible cup of coffee before!!I feel they do not wash or clean the coffee maker properly and they also do not know how to make coffee!!Please rehire or retrain the staff!
Love that theyre open 24 hours. Food is pretty good. I personally love the breakfast menu because I can get turkey bacon or sausage.
Fabulous service and amazing pancakes! Ill definitely be back!
The food is just as good late night then mid-afternoon
Very friendly worker, clean and the food is wonderful, will definitely be back🙂
Everything was great! Been coming here for years but its been about 10 years....even better than before!
Service was great, and the food was good for a quick bite!
Solid low-key 24 hr diner. Always reliable for a late night bite
I always went to this place years ago after leaving ny own restaurant every night. They had great sevice and food. Just recently I started going back and Ive been here 3 strait days. I must say that I am re in love with the food and service. Grest portian sizes wow that blew me away. The potions were so fulfilling and delicious. Love you guys ay My Friends. See ya soon RICHIE great guy
Good prices, decent food, nice portions Deserts look amazing.
My friends has become My to go place!!! It is awesome !! I love the atmosphere and friendly welcome as soon you walk in. The food is delicious and the presentation of it as well but for me a business is made by its employees. They are the ones giving face and representing the restaurant . Amber is the reason I have begun to go there!! Her personality is priceless. SO dont take it from me go and have breakfast, lunch or dinner and you will always get the same fantastic treatment. A friendly place for friends to gather that is why its called My friends, Duh!! The selection of deserts and pies is to die for!!! So head on over to My friends and enjoy!!
My friends always has an awesome family welcoming atmosphere! Absolutely love its still one of the only 24-hour places to get food anymore. Wishing this business all the success and abundance!
Good old school diner food. Came out quick, correct, and delicious.
Suggesed by our friend so 1st time eating there as we stopped by for dinner after the game. Food and service was great!! Nice selection for both dinner and desert... This place is a nice small quiet mom n pops restruant open 24hrs. Definitely will be eating here more now that l have experienced some good old fashion home cooked food
Decent food, terrible service. Was there with a group of people 7 of us in total. Was there for over an hour, almost 2 and not one time did our server actually check on us during our time there accept to take our order, bring us our food, and bring us drink pitchers so she didnt have to get us refills. Now if we were a roudy group Id maybe understand but seriously not even once did she ask the usual hows everything? do you need anything else? Dessert anyone? Ive worked in restaurants and fast food for 10 yrs now. And this was literally the worst server Ive ever had. Also we were one of 3 tables she had. I very much so prefer Steves diner in biddulph plaza for a late night diner.
Good descent qaulity foods and service , best cheesecake around,my friends are usually ther
Im an out of towner visiting my daughter who lives on Belle.I walk daily and stumbled upon this place. Decided to have some breakfast and ordered the skillet breakfast special.The plate was excellent and especially so after I added copious amounts of Cholua.The service from Ann was excellent and the check was surprisingly reasonable.Good place. If I were a resident, Id be a regular.
Great restaurant, Amazing experience. Delicious food. Open 24/7. As a Lyft driver I appreciate having a place to get out and relax and eat any time of the day. The staff is friendly. The pies looks and taste amazing.
I always have an excellent customer service experience when I dine here. The hostess down to the porter who clean the tables are always very pleasant. The food is always warm when it comes out & anything you order is delicious! You wont regret it! Enjoy!
Good 24 hour diner. Price, food, service all good.
The food here is always up to a good standard. Helpful attentive service. The greens are always crispy and fresh with no wilting. Chicken is cooked well and fried properly, not over battered. Its also extremely cheap.
Only place open this time of night service ok area ok prices ok this time you have to make sure they dont over charge you.
We were charged an additional $.50 on a menu item. At first it wasnt an issue. We were told that it would be deducted at the register. Once there we had to wait 15 minutes for a manager to override the price. We began to feel uncomfortable and another patron made us feel like cheap we were cheap.The restaurant knew that the prices were different but didnt want to have new menus made. Instead, they counted on us either not noticing it or bringing it up. I tip appropriately. I believe that I left our mediocre server a 30% tip.
Really good food fast service even though it was packed and a great late night spot to eat ... try the latkas!
We went at 12 am, and the staff was very kind to us, and the food was great!
Excellent food and fantastic service. The restaurant is very comfortable and affordable.
Great later night diner. Or server was amazing. Hey wit was fresh and sharp! The food was great. Would so recommend! Especially if you need somewhere to hang out a bit before you head home after thee evenings festivities!
Very good place for home style cooking and inexpensive
Server was slow & preoccupied gabbing w coworkers (not busy). The food was straight from the freezer-fryer-plate.
I love this place. Open all night so when youre craving breakfast at 3am, this is the spot. Their daily specials are usually pretty good too. Like food grandma used to make, such as paprikash and beef tips and noodles. The price is great, service is good..and the selection of deserts is amazing. The key lime cheesecake is a must try
My friends restaurant is awesome! The food is amazing, the prices are more than fair and the service was top-notch! Extremely clean restaurant, quiet and very relaxing. If you are in the neighborhood you need to check out My Friends Restaurant because its definitely worth the visit.
Great food and great service.. Love this diner!
False advertising menu prices wrong and they charge as if they are a franchise business
Too crowded for me, but its a nice place to eat.
Came in around 3:30am, the gentleman that waited on us was great! He was attentive and kept our drinks full. Our order was perfect and he answered all of our questions. Great service and delicious food! Worth the 30 minute drive to the only 24hr restaurant we could find tonight. Thank you!
Always a night time staple after a night out. Very consistent with food quality. I prefer the My friends omelet, which is feta cheese and spinach. Tasted great as always!
Best deserts in town!!! Open 24 hrs. So if you get a hankering for snickers cheesecake at 2am, no problem!! They also have fabulous home made soups. My favorite is split pea. But call to get the daily soup menu. Friendly, helpful staff. And free parking.
Really enjoyed my clam chowder. had to send it back after someone shot the bowl.
Very young atmosphere anymore, very friendly staff, great food
My Friends is hands down one of the best places to eat in Cleveland. The staff is great, the food absolutely rocks - my favorite is the greek burger - and its open 24 hours. You cant beat it.
Food was pretty good and prices were solid. Staff was good and it has a nice atmosphere. A nice late night option for a meal, drink, and conversation.
Service was terrible. So me and my friends get there and its a long wait over 30 mins and there is a group in front of us. After 20 mins they get seated and were next. Than a group comes behind us and wait. Than a single guy who wants to order to go. Tell the guy who wants to order to get in front and tell them. Than another group comes in and ask the owner how long he tells them its a long wait. Than 5 mins later the 3rd group is being seated and a guy is giving the owner money. Me and the previous group complain to the owner that is not fair and he tells me he didnt see us there lol than he tries to seat us but we lift due to it being disrespectful
Been here on several occasions and I have to say that I believe the best thing this restaurant has to offer is the cheesecake. They have plenty to choose from and they are pretty good. I feel that you have to be starving, tipsy, or having the munchies in order to enjoy the food. When it came to my most recent order, it was terrible! I called to place a carry out order and the man I spoke to was rude, he rushed me to place my order, didn’t seem to understand what I was saying, and then got frustrated because he kept getting it wrong. When I went in to pay for my order, I was wayyy over charged and didn’t receive the extras that I clearly was charged for. I had to go back in a total of three times just to get the order right. The mozzarella sticks were wayyy over cooked and hard as a rock, the loaded potato skins were all potato nothing loaded about them and flavorless , the salad was lettuce and croutons with cheese for $9.99, and the Reuben sandwich was nothing special. In my opinion, this place is a Only Option restaurant, but in all honesty I’d recommend eating at home or saving your money for food that you will enjoy.
Very clean, great food!! Our server Pam was the best!!!
I enjoyed my visit to My Friends Restaurant: I had a meeting, and enjoyed my Ohio City Burger and fries. It was cooked to my specifications, the portion size was great as well. I enjoyed the friendly service, too. I highly recommend My Friends. This restaurant used to be a 24-hour operation, but Ohios mandate now has them closing at 10pm.
Had one of todays specials, the breakfast burrito. It was listed as having pico de gallo on the side. I got salsa and sour cream. i asked the waitress about it and was told the writing on the specials menu was wrong, they have never had pico de gallo. I ate my food which was very tasty. I mentioned the mistake on the special menu to the manager when I paid her. She did look at the menu and see the error. Her reply to me was very mechanical, she didnt even bother to look up from the cash drawer. The food is the primary reason to choose one restaurant over another. Customer service is a close second. The waitress was great but, the managers attitude conveyed the message, I dont care we already got your money.
Ill start out by saying that ive never left a negative review here. Ive been working food service for 15 years, I can understand better than anyone how things can go wrong, but this was the worst experience ive ever had in a restaurant.after sitting and waiting 15-20 minutes to place my order, i decided to go somewhere else.. unfortunately that place was closed, so i decided to give it another go.I sit back down, place my order.. about another half hour goes by, everyone else around me has already finished their meals.. i finally get mine and the waitress tells me after the fact that mine had to be remade because it was run in wrong.. no biggie but it was also made wrong this time.I asked to keep and pay for the tots but i didnt have time to wait for another sandwich.. she pulled the plate and spoke to another server and i didnt hear anything back for another 10 minutes.at this point an hour has gone by, i was starving and ran out of time to wait for another plate. i brought it up to management and they were very rude and condescending. I can deal with poor service but this was the icing on the cake. It seems like theyre is always some issue with somebody there but it hasnt been me up until tonight.I wont be be back... Whatever, Dianas has better food anyway
Went here for breakfast yesterday morning around 9 or 10. The waitress who seated us literally throw our menus on the table and kept walking. We sat there for approximately 10 min or so while other were seated and served with out so much as an offer of water. Once some one did come to serve us she said she was not even aware we had been seated in her section. I told her thank you when she brought out the different things without so much as a you are welcome. Food came it was good. Bill was 23. Something was asked did I wish to add a tip I said yes 5.00. The lady added 10 so I said I am pretty sure I said 5.00 and she just walked away. I paid it anyways and just will not return to this business. Poor customer service all the way around.
Spacing was good during COVID. Food was good. Nice variety on menu. Service was good. Noticed lots of awesome looking desserts on display on our way out. Wish I had noticed them on our way in! Plenty of parking in back lot.
Clean, fast service, good food. Love the remodeling they did.
Like that theyre open 24hrs per day &the foods acceptable
This place is a hidden GEM❣The food is SOOOOOO GOOD, and the people are friendly, and a family like atmosphere. Katina our Server was attentive, helpful and informative about the menu.The desserts are OUT of this WORLD delicious, and so many to choose from😋ALSO they are open 24hrs😁DEFINITELY will be back SOON with family & MY FRIENDS 😍
Friendly and helpful service, clean and neat restaurant, the menu is well presented and the food is delicious. I always enjoy going here with my friends on multiple occasions. They make you feel right at home.
A very enjoyable breakfast. Hope to dine in one day.
I went there several years ago with friend and enjoy the lunch time meal. Waiting for the bus today and the place was packing with the old and new patrons so the business is still bringing in the crowd with there continous home cook meal and wonderful desert.
Kinda expensive and wasnt to happy with the quality of the food
Love it here. Nice and Clean Place. Services was Fantastic 😊😊😊.
The perfect place for a quick meal. Sandwiches are to die for and very affordable. Amazing breads, pastas, soups, salads, and entrees. The desserts and coffee are delicious together. Staff will get to know their regulars very well and theres never a wait.and yes, they have Dr. Pepper
Always good. Varied menu with lots of diner options.
This food is disgusting. Everything is either frozen or comes out of a can, and their menu is all over the place.They also set our table without forks. Did someone get fired or something?Never coming back here again. Awful.
Food was okay, pork chops were a bit dry, and our bill got mixed up with a different table, but friendly enough staff.
Good was good decent. Price was fair and coincided with the value and presentation of the meal. Id go back when would even go out and recommend it. Its a nice literal mom and pop. While I didnt have one, the cakes look tasty too.
Ive been coming here for decades. It is still Clevelands best 24 hour dinner. From last call to good morning; it has some of the best comfort foods all around. They are also a hub for the Cleveland bakery Slices, and has some of the best offerings for desserts in town. Great omelets, great appetizers, great dinners, and the best turkey club in North East Ohio!
Disappointing. Two out of three orders not prepared correctly. Took longer than our initial wait for remade items to be served. Second attempt still incorrect/poorly done. Waitress didnt check on us to refill drinks until second attempt finally served. Lots of excuses.
Poor service-dirty silverware set at all 4 place settings - we received the drinks we ordered after the food came. I ordered a small blt sandwich and wanted onion rings instead of the fries they come with it... Then received over a 25$ bill for the onion rings. Way to expensive for a dive dinner in Cleveland i could get an amazing meal at red lobster texas road house or fridays for that price. Never again
Went for breakfast with a big crowd our waitress was cool we got most of our food we had to remind her two meals were missing but she went to the kitchen and they were cooked fresh and hot.
It shouldn’t say you’re open 24 hours if your kitchen is closed at a certain time
Great corned beef and excellent service even when incredibly busy. Will definitely be back and look forward to trying more, the menu had a lot of awesome sounding choices and all really affordable!
Amazing service. Great casual food. Open 24 hrs so is a great option for late night or early morning grub!
Amazing people. I’m in the area to give my wife a kidney, the ultra kind waiter bought our lunch for us when we discussed the transplant. We’ve been ordering out. They’re the cheapest in the area. Thank you for your kindness not able to come back in person still recovering. Wonderful food and deserts.
This place is open 24 hours. Great food.
Love this place really good food ....if I were to say anything negative about this place the only thing Id say is beef n barley soup is exactly what it says it is but for my friends.....beef base counts as beef chunks or cubes ....thats the only thing that was off putting about this place
I love the atmosphere, food and staff here. Its always a good dining experience! Lemon chicken soup on the weekend!
Very small portions. $1.50 extra for fries instead of potatoe chips and you get a portion smaller than a small from a fast food spot. Paid extra for a half pound burger and was served the smaller version. Even their glasses are completely child sized. Eat here if you like getting ripped off! Waitress was attentive and thats why im giving two instead of one star. Really unpleasant experience, and I will be letting everyone know.
My boyfriend brought me here on a whim after we had some unexpected things come up and we couldnt get dressed to go out for dinner. This place had great service. The vibes are really chill and their wings were soo good. The fries are really tasty as well. My bf got their pancakes with choc chips and it looked really good. Would recommend!
Its a diner and thats basically all i have to say about this place. their desserts look delicious and are a little dry but still good, the price isnt as high for cakes as i expected it to be but still high when i think about the realistic cost per unit. when it comes to breakfast its a little over the price of regular diner food, but not exceeding the quality of standard diner food. the homefries are somewhat good but lacking in taste and very dry. if you want breakfast get the breakfast panini. as far as fried foods i think theyre a little overpriced but anything fried is good. and when it comes to their main entrees i cant say much because they lack in vegetarian options. what i like about this place is that theyre open 24 hours and its somewhere to sit around with a group of friends and enjoy yourselves. i would say this is an evenly mixed review.
I absolutely loved my time there. My food was delicious and most of all the customer service was absolutely wonderful. I was blessed to have a kind, loving, beautiful waitress named Mrs. Kathleen. Mrs. Kathleen is pure sun shine and if you have the pleasure of getting her as your waitress she will warm your soul with her Love and Kindness!
It was my first time here last night, my boyfriends dad is a regular here and he insisted on going. I’m not a huge fan of diners but this one is definitely different compared to any other diner I’ve been to. The service was absolutely amazing, our waiter was very friendly & on top of things. The food was delicious & I can not get over how good their lemon rice soup was I keep begging my boyfriend to take me back just for the soup. We also ordered dessert, I had the Oreo cake and it topped off my meal perfectly. I will definitely be returning here as a customer for life!!!
The waiter was A1! The food was delectable,Id definitely go again
Good food . Average price . Good service
This place is excellent! Very good food and great service. This place is really a gem! I would highly recommend My Friends Restaurant.
Always good no matter when I get there!
I love this place! They have beer!
Food not good at all to me, for some reason when me and my fiance got home, stomachs were upset most of the night. But our waitress was nice seem a bit shy but nice. And also the setting was pretty cool too for it to be 24 hours.
Food was good, large servings, service was good.
Great food, friendly service, eclectic crowd, its a perfect slice of life. Put recent low points in the area aside and enjoy a meal here.
My fiance/husband, Ron, and I love eating here!! Our friends are here and the food is delicious 😋 😍 😊 ❤Merry Christmas to our friends ❤ 💕 💓 💖
Slow service, Over cooked fried eggs. Not so good portions. Big place, Nice, But very forgetful waitress. First time here, Not sure if I would come back ?
Ive been going to My Friends for years. Love the breakfast and the cheeseburgers are a great go to for lunch/dinner. Some 24 hour places can be really bad with service and these guys do NOT fall in that trap. Great desserts and family atmosphere too. Whether you need a place to sober up or just a good meal, you cant go wrong with My Friends.

2022-05-10Absolutely awful service. Sat there for an hour before our food came out. The waitress kept saying that it’s because corned beef hash takes a while to cook. Yeah, sure, if it was real corned beef. But it was canned corned beef, and that hash takes 8 minutes to cook. Not an hour. And when it finally came out, it tasted like garbage. I ended up not eating any of the food I waited an hour for. The wait staff acted like we were an inconvenience to them for being there. The waitress could tell we were unhappy, that’s why she kept coming back to give another reason why it was taking so long. Even knowing how long everything took, and how unhappy we were, she still charged full price, and patronizingly told me to come back again. As you can see in the picture, nothing on my plate should have taken more than ten or so minutes at most. And it’s not because they were busy, there were only a handful of tables, and several who came in after us, had food before us.

2022-03-06We waited in line for over 20 minutes, and before we got seated a white family came in and asked if they wanted to be seated before us before we announce that we were here first. when we finally sat down we waited and we’re walked past over 10 times before being addressed by waiter ABSOLUTELY 0/10

2021-11-27I had the turkey club and he had the open faced meatloaf. Both were delicious and the fries were crunchy and tasty. I never leave without a slice of tiramisu and coffee which is excellent.

2021-09-24I loved the chicken Mediterranean wrap fresh ingredients wrapped in a toasted wheat tortilla. So flavorful and filling. My daughter had the three cheese fettuccine. The portion was big enough for 2. Staff was friendly. The dessert case was full of yummy looking cakes and cheesecakes but we were too full to try any this time. I will definitely go back next time I am in town.

2022-07-16Friendly personable and helpful all the way around. Food is good. You cant go wrong with breakfast anytime of the day. Parking plentiful behind restaurant. They have a dessert showcase that you cannot miss as soon as you enter the restaurant. I saw key lime cheesecake,apple caramel cheesecake, coconut cake, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse,carrot cake, baklava, etc. I did not allow myself to get any dessert after my meal but guess what 3 days later I drove back to the restaurant and picked up a couple of key lime pie slices and apple caramel and a raspberry vanilla cheesecake. Worth it!!
