***DING***DING***DING***WINNER***WINNER***OLD BROOKLYN You're going places with more of these. I really haven't been a patron of this establishment in years & I mean years. My wife & I were hungry so I had entered in Yelp "restaurants near me". This place popped up & I can really tell you it was a great choice to get.We can smell how good it was in the parking lot. The music was hard outside but it wasn't really loud i guess if you put outside speakers on its a great addition to the ambience. We were kindly greeted & sat to at our table & was asked our drinks. Our waitress was Anna the bless 1. Which she was so great. Wife had lemonade & I had just had water the lemonade was great. With my wife's meal was a side salad which was great. Our food came out fairly quickly after that. She ordered the roatbeef tips with gravy, mashed potatoes with corn. I tasted hers it was DELICIOUS. I had 1/2lb cheeseburger with extra pickles & fries. Cheeseburger was done to my liking juicy, fries were hot & crispy. The ambience was great. If I can give 10+ s i would but I'm stuck at .5s. But that's alright. I'll be more of a regular now...*** BUEN PROVECHO***"

TREMENDOUS. the food choices are great. I ordered the early bird special #4, it was really delicious. The atmosphere is very old-school, like a traditional diner. All the waitresses seem active in their sections. Great dining experience, definitely in my top 3 Cleveland diners.

I've been to The City Diner numerous times and the food is always prepared very well. I absolutely love their pancakes and the French toast is great as well. The service is always seamless, efficient, and quick - the staff has a great routine that works for them and the customers. The City Diner is family friendly and I've taken a couple of my friends there as well for a quick, in-and-out breakfast. I've also been there solo - it's that great!

I've been visiting this diner since they reopened under new ownership in 2023 (I think?). I love the small-town feel of this place! The staff are all friendly and helpful. They recently printed a new menu, but I think it has the same items on it. Just in a multiple page format instead of 1 large menu. The food is sometimes a bit greasy, but if you order a greasy dish, it shouldn't be a surprise! I've had breakfast, sandwiches, and entrees here, and they are all amazing! They accommodate special requests well! Their dessert case has always caught my eye, and I finally splurged and ordered a slice of cheesecake for Valentines Day! It did not disappoint! Definitely recommend!My only request would be that they get better coffee. It tends to be weak/ watery. But for a cheaper diner, I understand that you get what you get. So I order ice tea instead.

we had brunch here before the zoo and loved it! all the servers were So kind. i ordered a strawberry smoothie, and let the waitress know im allergic to bananas. she made sure to tell the cooks to switch gloves so i wouldn't have any cross contamination! the scrambled eggs i got were perfect. that is such a rare accomplishment. my partner got the homemade corned beef hash and loved it. highly recommend!

Today I stopped at The City Diner in the Old Brooklyn area of Cleveland, haven't been here in a while. Decided on a turkey croissant sandwich with fries and coffee, the lunch was nicely prepared and the service was very pleasant and timely. Ambiance here is cozy, not too busy, dining area very clean and bright. Very satisfying lunch, soup, fries sandwich and coffee all very good. Will come back soon!! A-+

I waited for the novelty to wear down so I could try this place out. My friend and I decided to come here with her daughter. Her daughter got the kids chicken strip meal and my friend had them add an extra chicken strip. My friend and I split a old fashioned burger, I got house potatoes in lieu of fries. The fries on the kids meal were very crispy and looked good. The burger and potatoes were very good. The chicken strips got a thumbs up. The waitress was really friendly. I only gave 4 stars because the food took a minute to come out. Otherwise we had a very good experience. I would come back again when it's not busy. We got lucky and found a parking spot. Usually when I drive by it's always packed.

Been there once about a month ago. Staff was great. Overly pleasant. Booths are too narrow. If you were taking a bite of your food at the same time as the person across from you, you're almost budding heads. Def not opening a menu at the same time without touching each other. I had breakfast. The toast was good. My hash browns looked nothing like the pics I've seen from other patrons. Mine were like mashed potatoes that were fried on a griddle. I told the family I wouldn't come back just based on the hashbrowns but now seeing the pictures, I wonder what was served to me? Toast was good though. :) gyro is average. not great. Nothing you'd order twice. Overall not sure we'd go back. At least not until they run out of the hash browns that were served to me. :)Great toast though! Great service!

I stumbled upon the city diner and thought I would stop in. It was breakfast time, but they let me have lunch. I ordered the burger melt with mushrooms and Swiss. Kind of like a patty melt but better.They give you a choice of 1/3 pound pound burger or 1/2 pound 1/3 pound looked so big to me. I can't imagine getting a half! It was so delicious. It came with chips and a pickle. The price is low and the service was excellent. I will definitely be back.

Had a large group come here before heading to the Christmas lights at the zoo. Total old- school feel that is comfortable and homey. Service was friendly and fast! We ordered a ton of burgers that were so good as well as a shared appetizer plate with mozzarella sticks, potato skins and onion rings. Everything was delicious but the onion rings were amazing! They had a dancing/talking Santa Claus up and one of the staff kindly took a picture of us all with it. Support a local place like this - you won't be disappointed!
