Double Nickel

Favorite meal of the day is always brunch and finding new and delicious options is a hobby for me. This place was on my radar for a few months and I'm glad we made it on a Sunday afternoon. 1. Location: downtown which I enjoy - I didn't have high hopes for parking and needed to valet for $25. arrived around 1pm and were seated right away in the ht the cozy space with tons of windows and lighting. 2. Ambience- it was game day and I like to see basketball or football when I'm out- they had several large screens. About midway through the meal a DJ setup and played some nice R&B throughout the rest of brunch which my kids and I loved3. Food- the menu was small but when it comes to brunch if you do it right you don't need too much. I was with my 6 yr old and 17 yr old and we found items for everyone's taste. The shrimp and grits was seasoned to perfection with great portions. The steak and eggs were right the first time. I snuck a bite of the chicken and waffles which were light as well. I can't give them any more stars because we waited nearly 30 minutes for the check. I received a water refill once in the 1.5 hour visit. That part of the visit was disappointing.

Excellent food. Down home southern breakfast in downtown Cleveland! They give you big portions and the food was flavorful. Service for the most part was really good. They get really busy and I don't believe they accept reservations. So expect a wait if it's the weekend. (There is a counter that is first come first serve which could be quicker than getting seated at a table)Valet parking is available right in front but you may be able to find cheaper street parking in the area.

The food was really good! We ordered the Mississippi catfish and the NY strip with eggs and a side of brioche French toast. The portion size was reasonably large and the pricing was not outrageous for the quality of food we had. I highly recommend this place and hope to be back soon!

Last weekend 2 friends and I visited Double Nickel for Sunday brunch. There was a short wait for a table, so we decided to sit at the bar. The restaurant is small but comfortable, and there is an extra room for private dinner parties. They offer bottomless mimosas for $25/person, which is a pretty good price. I was happy to see that the mimosas weren't pre-batched and that we could switch between cranberry, pineapple and orange juice. There were a few other drinks on the brunch cocktail menu that looked good as well. They were out of the cinnamon roll skillet, which we were going to have as an app, so that was a bummer. I did see a few people get the French toast which was big and looked yummy. Myself and another friend got the fried catfish which came with eggs and your choice of grits or breakfast potatoes. The catfish was excellent. Perfectly fried and well seasoned. I got the breakfast potatoes which were likely not homemade but they did add sautéed peppers and onions, so they were pretty good. My friend got the grits with cheese but said they came out a bit cold so they weren't enjoyable. I tried a bite of the salmon croquette. Let's just say it didn't change my feelings about salmon croquettes. It's a no for me.Overall, Double Nickel is a good, low key spot for brunch. Nice portions that will leave you full and food that is simple, yet packed with flavor. The service was pretty mediocre. Our server/bartender was not overly friendly and somewhat nonchalant, but she wasn't mean. There was an automatic 18% gratuity added to our checks, which was kind of strange for 3 people at the bar, but I have a feeling they add it to everyone's bill.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was very good, as well. A little on the pricy end but we enjoyed everything.

I don't know what to say other than it's got to be me. I've read all of the five star reviews and I just don't understand.I went here with some friends around noon on a Saturday for brunch. I believe we waited about 45 minutes for a table. It is a pretty small space. They eventually had to tell a table after they had been checked out for at least 20 minutes that they had to leave so we could sit down. The staff was all extremely friendly, which honestly is why I've given it even a three star rating. Everyone was so friendly and helpful from the hostesses to our waitress. The service was extremely slow. We waited nearly an hour for our food after ordering. One of my friends had to box up their food immediately when when it arrived because they couldn't wait any longer. Our waitress was extremely apologetic and I appreciate that but waiting an hour for food it's unreasonable. We drank cup of coffee, after cup of coffee while waiting for our food. Our waitress was very attentive. I was not pleased with my meal at all. I got the New York strip with eggs, potatoes, and toast. The New York strip was extremely overcooked, and I doubt if that was even actually a steak to be honest, it looked and tasted more like pork if you ask me - I don't know I just was not happy. I did not tell this to the waitress. This is not her fault and we had already waited so long. I was just disappointed and paying $25 for a meal that wasn't even good. The decor is beautiful - the very cute space and they also offer a room for private events which I think is pretty neat. I think it's some point I would love to give us a second chance, but my first experience was not that great.

great sports / game bar! some of the best game food i have had. The chimichurri steak was my favorite.

Food was fabulous and Jessica our bar tender was amazing!! 100% recommend. The environment is upscale. We even got to meet the dishwasher Tone who came out to clear our plates and was a pleasure to talk to. Super friendly and wonderful!!

Dear Yelpers,Welcome to Double Nickel, your little taste of Atlanta in Cleveland. A brunch spot with great vibes, better food, and makes us feel right at home! Wait staff is personable and the food is amazing. I had the biscuits and gravy which was good, but my wife's fried catfish made me regret not going with the crispy, well-seasoned filet. Definitely worth it and the grits...remarkable. And while you are here, might as well go ahead and get the bottomless mimosas to truly give this the Atlanta Brunch Vibe!Your Friendly neighborhood foodie

Simple. Delicious. Quality, just a few words that describe the decor, menu, and service at the Double Nickle. After an early morning day at the office, my husband met me for brunch. A quick search revealed the Double Nickle. Familiar with the area, I was in awe at the transformation of the restaurant space, having lunched at Porcellis many times over the years. A fresh menu, mix of cocktails, dining and banquet spaces set the Double Nickle apart. Perfect for a work lunch, hotel brunch, or a birthday party. The staff was knowledgeable and inviting, engaged with suggestions and attentive. I opted to start with a peach mimosa, delicious! For brunch I was torn, shrimp and grits or catfish. Our server, Daryl, nudged my choice of the catfish. The dish was soooo good. Poached eggs, grits, perfectly fried catfish with a dash of hot sauce. It was an experience. I literally cleaned my plate. My husband ordered the skillet, scrambled eggs, potatoes and chorizo. He loved it. Did I mention, fresh jam with your toast...it was simple and fresh. I cannot wait to go back for lunch and future brunch dates. Great addition to the downtown restaurant scene.
