★★★★☆ 4.0 John Baumgardner · Oct 2025

A very cozy diner in Old Brooklyn, a working class neighborhood on Cleveland's West side. The food was delicious, but my waitress was not overly attentive. I had to go up to the counter to request additional salad dressing and hot sauce. The waitress was kind, just not attentive. The prices were decent for the amount of food received. I would go back again.

Diner portions, diner flavor. The City Diner is legit. The place is a bit plain and the pancakes could be a bit fluffier, but the price and portion of the menu items are very good. The sausage gravy and eggs featured a smooth gravy and light and crispy biscuits. That alone would have fed is well, but I also ordered a side of their homemade CB hash and a short stack of pancakes, which simply left us stuffed. Our waitress was kind and fast, and my wife's cup of tasty coffee was never empty. If you want a little slice of a NY diner in Cleveland, you've got it here!

Great food! Parking lot is a bit tight. Once inside it is very roomy. Cool bar. I ordered the meatloaf dinner, with mashed potatoes and Green beans, and the soup (vegetable). We were told the owners cook all the food there. Veggie soup came up first and it was really good. Had a nice spice to it and fresh cut vegetables. Meat loaf came up next. The patties were thin like a hamburger patty. However it was definitely meatloaf. Brown gravy tasted homemade to me. The mashed potatoes had a garlic kick. The green beans were good also. Everything was fantastic. After dinner was told the diners came with pudding. I got lemon. It was serve chilled and had great flavor. You can't beat the price for the amount of food you get. And the service was great also. Highly recommend.

City Diner absolutely nails breakfast. The selection is solid, the portions are generous, and the prices are very fair. The country fried steak and eggs were cooked perfectly—crispy, tender, and exactly what you want with a classic breakfast. Simple, satisfying, and done right. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re hungry.
