Kleifelds Restaurant

Grabbed a quick bite while waiting on work to be completed on my son's car. This is a true classic diner. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the meal and watching all the locals come in. Wait staff were friendly and inviting. have to thank our server for recommending the cinnamon bun pancake which was to die for. Reasonable priced and a great meal was had by all.

Quaint and nostalgic, it's been around for years! The food was good and fast, inexpensive as well. The staff was friendly as well.

Great little diner right smack in Willoughby. Lots of locals and all the standard fare. Burgers are juicy. I recommend the Kleifeld. Grilled onions AND mushrooms with Swiss. Yummers. Hubby got Chicken fried Steak. Super crispy outside and awesome country gravy. Fries were glistening and crispy. Just like I like them. Breakfast is served here too but they aren't open for dinner. Super friendly staff. Locals cracked us up with their friendly banter.

Excellent breakfast at this local diner. Smaller place with some table but a great counter area to sit and enjoy. Waitress was very friendly. Coffee was fresh and tasted good. Breakfast came quick. My daughter loved her French toast and bacon. My eggs and sausage had good flavor. The potatoes were great. We will be back for sure.

I've never had abasted egg. Never even heardof it. Somewhere in betweensunny side up and poached;a delectable yolk sauce. Surprise! 2 huge pancakes,real blueberries. Apparently cinnamon roll pancakesare always on deck, thank goodness.They remind me of being at my grandparents annual anniversary gathering,at the Crescent Beach Hotel, a memorablebrunch to be sure. It coincided with Easterso there was always a terrifying bunny afoot. They had this similar tasting pastry that I looked forward to with a Christmas Eve-type fervor. Soothing to find that flavor again, memories of always over eating andnever regretting it. A real down-home, 'forty years at Swagelok'kind of place, families knowingfamilies. I'm not from Ohio but Kleifeld'smade me feel like I was in all the best ways. I brought my own maple syrup, no offense,just a breakfast requirement of mine. You will leave this place with a box or leaveoverfed, stuffed with twinkles in your eyes. The jukeboxes on the counter aren't functional,but we all already knew this. It's the sentiment. This time, my third time eating here, working on this review. Should I get pancakesagain? The tantalizing basted egg? It's your birthday breakfast, a Monday,I'm on vacation, a wedding in NYC this weekend. My very close aunt died this morning,but I will not tell you until later, in bed,the safety of comfort. Just like this diner,the safety of the cinnamon roll pancakeshared amongst friends and quintessential diner coffee. No TV's, no music, no distractionsfrom love and sustenance. You touch my leg, I want to break down andweep about losing Deb, but I refuse to jaryour special day. Our breakfast needn't a reminder that this is all our fate, succumbing to disease and old age before we finish the things we started. Take care to enjoy every bite.

I have had both breakfast and lunch here. Both I thoroughly enjoyed. This is an old fashioned type diner that is typically packed. Been around a long time where generations have gone to eat. It has a counter with seating and about 7 or so tables. The counter is shoulder to shoulder. In COVID not sure that is wise. I am telling you the best thing not on the menu is the cinnamon roll pancakes. So good! Seriously doesn't even need syrup. Eggs and corn beef hash delish too. Hash browns top notch too. For lunch I had a burger. Nothing to write home about but it was okay. Breakfast is where it's at. Parking is all over and anywhere. No designated lot but lots of available parking. Servers are nice and helpful. Prices very reasonable. This place is a keeper!

Unfortunately I did take a photo of the Mediterranean Omelet, which was delish! The side potatoes were awesome too! The spot is very quaint and the service is wonderful too. Great spot for breakfast or brunch! I will return next time in downtown Willoughby !

Kleifeld's is a cozy, friendly, clean, longtime Willoughby restaurant. They serve a yummy breakfast or lunch. It's a treasure.

Historic 1928 Restaurant in 1888 Building! One of the oldest DINERS in OhioLoved our Monte' Cristo & Veggie Omelette (FILLED w/ veggies)Great Server. Not a fancy place, but definitely worth a breakfast or lunch visit. We will be back.

I can't speak about the food, but the first time I walked in, I didn't get service for over five minutes so I left.
