The food is always great. Cheap, quick and good. The menu is big and you can always find something you want. The serving staff can be a bit rude some times and its always busy so some times it can be a bit cramped.

We come here every weekend for breakfast. For as busy as they get the service is fast, the waitresses are awesome, and the food is always on point. I have nothing but good things to say about Georges. We love this place, we love the people, and we love the food.
(5)Tee B.
Food is amazing! Very filling. Friendly staff. I love the chicken noodle soup!! The bestt
(5)Evol R.
Staff is super nice, food is super affordable, i like the layout of the place. Yea it's a little old/greasy spoonish but this is cleveland not westlake LOL. My uncle always talked about this place and finally i went with him and had a nice corned beef and swiss with soup and salad for like 6dollars i believe.

Man there's no better than to eat here !

I have been coming to Georges kitchen my whole life, its a great I'm hungry and I want to eat good food fast and cheap place to a T. One of the only restaurants that two people can eat full meals for well under $20. My only complaint is that they are not opened 24hrs, but the owners are there from open to close every day and make enough $$ so I see why they are not.

Sunday morning. 9:14AM. I rolled out of bed just thirty minutes prior with a taste for my usual here at George's; three eggs, scrambled, homefries. four pieces of bacon, rye toast. We open the door to the unassuming diner and walk in, greeted by George himself. He points to the corner, and speaks "Anywhere you'd like" as he watches everything at once. The wife ordered a ham and mushroom omelet with cheese and extra cheese and the boy got himself a short stack and sausages. Sunday morning. 9:39AM. I walked out of George's with a full belly. Tax, and generous tip later, I still don't think I could have had a better breakfast for twice the price.

one of Cleveland's best kept secrets! service is quick and on point! the dishes are home-y and served piping hot! Crazy cheap breakfast! crazy lunch specials and traditional diner dinners! Good people watching with a very diverse crowd. I usually opt for grilled ham and cheese with a nice bowl of soup (totaling less than 4 dollars), OMG do I love their soups! Nothing fancy just home-cooked chicken noodle-vegetable beef-isqe soups! But there are more 'ethnic-Greek style' dishes offered as well, the fired fish is also super delish (5.75 comes with choice of potato, soup, salad and tater sauce) like most of visitors of George's Kitchen I have been coming here my whole life, my family even has Christmas breakfast here every year! Its a diner, so, come with an open mind and a hungry belly! Be nice to the waitresses and busser, tip well, and say hello to George, who is probably sitting by the door.... PS: This is not a 24hr restaurant as noted in some of the other reviews....
(4)Robin L.
Just happened across George's while looking for another breakfast place. Although the parking lot was packed, I was seated immediately and had coffee very quickly. The food was served quicker than I've seen at TacoBell or McDonalds! Good preparation, very good taste, and portions that are manageable. Cheese omelet, bacon, home fries, toast, coffee, and excellent home-made rice pudding for $10 ! George's is at the corner of Triskett and Berea Rd. I'll be back again with my wife (and friends). The daily specials on the menu look very promising, too. Wednesday shows Short Ribs and Lamb Shank. Sunday has Turkey, and Prime Rib (among other things). Menu has extensive choices, only lacking grits :={{{ . Dianna's, on W. 117th, comes close to George's in style and menu, but I'd drive the extra mile or two to George's.

24 hr kick ass diner! you can't beat this place for breakfast! plus the waitress are movers! and they don't screw around. hit it up no matter the time, you'll be happy! french toast is pretty good for using regular white bread, no texas toast but oh well. everything is amazingly cheap! but great quality. peace
(5)Charlie M.
Great for breakfast (and hangovers)! Food is super cheap, comes quick and fresh, and all the employees are very friendly. All of the breakfast food is great, I'm also a fan of their burgers, and their homemade chili is fantastic!
(5)Kevin S.
Tons of good food and VERY reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly and even George said help to us I highly recommend it. Thank You So Much Yelp for directing us to this greasy spoon.
(4)Eric M.
I've been coming to George's kitchen since I was a little kid. The food is great and the prices can't be beat. They are even old school where they bring you out a glass of water when you sit down.

This is easily the BEST diner/restaurant in NE Ohio, period! The place is a classic Cleveland institution and a landmark, run by a dedicated, proud family for decades. The parking lot is usually near full, but we always manage to find a spot, and get seated quickly. My family has been making the 20 to 30 minute drive to GK since the mid 90's, because of the variety, quality, and very affordable food. I even stop there for a quick, real breakfast on my way to work downtown (they're right off of highway 90), for a western omelette and awesome tasting coffee. I think they now open at 6AM or something like this. George, the owner, is often there to greet customers as they walk in! The waitresses/servers are friendly and witty pros, and will have your food out to you in mere minutes! I cannot believe how fast the service here is! The atmosphere is 'classic American diner fun', but laid back with an eclectic mix of people and families. Over the years, i've even seen famous politicians, TV personalities, and rock stars there too! How this place can continue to serve truly great tasting food with 1980's prices is beyond me (please don't anybody tell George his prices are WAY too low)!
(5)Cory S.
So good. So cheap. So go.
(5)Jeremy G.
My family has been going there all my life and i'm currently 19. The best place for any meal and great for the family. Lolipops for the little kids at the register if they're good.
(5)Gini J.
George's is the place to go for comfort food without a lot of frills. The food is tasty and plentiful, and the prices are cheap. This is a great place for people watching, because it's clear that there are lots of "locals" and much friendly camaraderie between staff and guests. At George's things like decor take a back seat to good food served up hot and fast. They were accommodating of dietary restrictions and quick with refills on coffee and water. Definitely a good place for filling up.
(4)Timothy T.
Eat here if you want good food for cheap. Super fast service- based on reviews we actually timed it- it took 8 minutes from order to eating. Typical breakfast fare with great service and a fun diner atmosphere. Would eat here again next time I'm in Cleveland.
(5)Sharon H.
Very good diner food. Service is fast and somewhat friendly....we are from the south and clevelanders are a little brusk. I had eggs, hashbrowns, gravy and toast. My husband had a gyro omelet which he said was very good. Lots of breakfast options. Nothing here is automated or premade.
(4)Patrick C.
Visiting George's while in town is becoming a tradition. I've enjoyed everything on the menu. They even have some "American" dishes with a Greek spin on it, like the fried pork chops. The biggest surprise for me every time is how inexpensive all this great food is.
(5)Karen B.
I LOVE this place food service prices are awesome . When you dont feel like cooking and dont want to dress up this the place .
(5)Alex Z.
Wow! This place is absolutely the most ridiculously cheap restaurant in the greater Cleveland area, which says something since Cleveland restaurants tend to be very affordable. It used to be that you could get a good lunch here for under $4. The prices have recently gone up, but they're still very cheap. There may be cheaper places in town, but they are either junk/fast food, or they don't have a nice sit-down atmosphere like this place does. The selection here is very typical, like a diner but with a smaller menu, standard American food. Specials are rotated on a days-of-the-week basis and it often makes sense to get specials. There's enough selection to satisfy most people. The best thing about the menu is how it is possible to itemize things without paying through the nose: this is a good place to go if one person in your party wants a light meal and the other one wants a lot to eat. Quality? Consistent and good. You will find no culinary masterpieces but you will always find good eating. Portions are very reasonable: you get your fill, but you don't stuff your face. The service here is also very good. And the atmosphere is pleasant. And the location, although odd, is oddly convenient (once you figure out how to get here!). Basically, you can't go wrong with this place. It is very affordable, consistently good, and excellent value for your money.

This place is AWESOME!!! We live in Lakewood, and go there for breakfast on the weekends and dinner several times a week. We are a couple who's kids are grown and gone, and it seems that eating dinner at George's is almost cheaper than buying the stuff to make it! They have enough variety in their menu that we can have something different every night. They always have dinner specials aimed at every taste. We rarely come out spending more than $20, and have NEVER had a bad meal yet. Even when packed(as they often are), the service is immediate and awesome, and the food is always great. The waitresses are attentive and efficient, and the owner and his wife are very "hands on", seating people, serving coffee/beverages, and pitching in wherever needed. In my opinion, there is no better place for great service, great food, and AWESOME prices. We have been going there for years. We have tried many other places and ALWAYS compare them to George's. And we always come back.
(5)Ciara S.
One of my favorite spots to eat in the city. Usually you'll catch me here on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. It's always packed. Staff is extremely friendly. They are fast and the food comes out fast. Food is delicious. It's diner/comfort food. Never had a bad meal here. I really am into their burgers. Just a simple cheeseburger and fries (My mouth is watering just thinking about it)Taste like a diner burger. I have always been a big fan of diner foods. Make sure you tips those ladies well. They are working hard and always friendly. It's decorated kinda like a old lady lives there but I'm into it. It makes the place. I don't need a fancy place to eat. Just good food and service. If you're into diner/comfort foods make sure you hit up George's. You won't have a bad meal. If you see me there on Sunday say hello :) To all the haters of George's, you guys are cray cray!!
(5)Cara L.
Oh George's Kitchen how I love thee! This is by far my absolute favorite greasy spoon diner in Cleveland! I appreciate all the staff for the hard work they put in on a daily basis here. Tip them well they work hard and are super friendly! Nothing here is done electronically except for the ability to swipe credit cards. Orders are written on receipts and read aloud to the kitchen staff. I have never had a wrong order appear at my table. They make all kinds of substituions for people and they also do take-out orders. I can't even begin to fathom how the kitchen staff handles all the orders but man I am impressed!! The food never wavers! I have ordered both breakfast and lunch items and I really want to try all the menu items. You can order 3 extra large eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage and toast for $5!! Most lunch and dinner items are served with your choice of potato and soup and almost everything is under $9!! On my most recent visit I got a Deluxe Turkey Club sandwich and fries for $6! Thank you George's for being amazing at what you do!!

As a 3-month visitor from Phoenix, I was jazzed to come to a new city, scroll through yelp, and eat everything in sight. I'm living in Westlake, so George's Kitchen is one of the highest rated places on this side of town--add to the fact that I love breakfast more than anything...we had a great thing going. For me, its hard to give breakfast bad reviews. There's not much to it. But George's diner reminds me of a Denny's that isn't a chain. Way too much random food to do anything great, basics covered (but nothing special). It may be too much to ask to compare Georges to a local place that has an interesting local menu or specials. Its no surprise that when I drive around Cleveland that there are so many horrible pseudo breakfast chains with lines out the door. This place IS locally owned (+ 1 star). This place will allow most people to be content (+ 1 star). This place is stupid cheap (+1 star). Also the coffee was not good (-.5 star). Round up and 3 stars it is. There's nothing that will deter anyone from going here, but if you are a breakfast foodie--not your place. I got the hash. My friend got pancakes, My fiance got eggs and bacon.
(3)Michael B.
We found George's Kitchen via Yelp while driving West on I-90. This place is amazing. I had the pulled pork sandwich. My daughter had a hamburger and fries Delicious! Can't beat the price.
(5)Rachael R.
The soups (chicken noodle and beef barley) were really great. My husband's prime rib dinner was good, but a bit over cooked. The brown gravy on my roast beef was a bit salty, but my dinner as a whole was very tasty. The chocolate meringue pie was amazing. The rice pudding (with raisins) reminded me of my grandmother's, and higher praise I cannot give.
(4)Sarah A.
This place was pretty awesome! I went during prime brunch time on a Sunday but still managed to be seated right away! Service was really quick and efficient, which I am not used to from most other breakfast places. As for the food, it was great! Very traditional, greasy diner food. I wouldn't recommend George's if you are in the mood for a "healthy" breakfast option. The decor was old time diner, which was pretty sweet. The old metal swinging doors and traditional diner bar and stool made for a really enjoyable outing!
(4)Brian F.
George's is your typical diner. Open since 1980 - it's quickly approaching Cleveland Legend status. Nothing fancy; eight pages of menu items; quick service; and the owner watching it all. The servers are all running. All the time. No one rests. If they arent schleping trays to tables, they are making salads; refilling coffee; doling out bowls of soup; or waiting at the window for food. Food is standard diner fare. It's cheap; plentiful and nearly always comes with soup and salad; bread and butter. Even with all the tables full, the food gets to thr table fast. If you are a foodie that wants non gmo locally sourced veggies or free range no antibiotic sung to sleep nightly chickens - save your rage. Skip Georges. If you want a greasy bacon cheeseburger, walleye dinner, or a kick butt breakfast - become a regular. And say Hi to George. His face is on the menu; he's in the first booth and will carry a coffee pot when its busy.
(4)Evan F.
For the price, this place may be the best breakfast spot in Cleveland. Quick service, always a table available, friendly servers and rock-solid breakfast fare (only meal I've ever been there for, but they serve plenty of other dishes as well). My go-to meal here is the corned beef hash with three sunny-side eggs on top, crispy home fries and toast. Add a cup of coffee and you are still around $6 for more food than you can probably eat. how do they do it? Their meals are fresh, hot and tasty...and the coffee keeps on flowing as long as you'd like. What more could you want from a diner? Oh yeah...the cashier gave my daughter a lollipop on the way out. so there you go!
(5)Carter M.
We were in the mood for some good breakfast food. George's was near our destination and had excellent reviews, so we decided to give it a try. The parking lot was so full when we arrived that we almost didn't bother stopping. Boy am I glad we did! Despite the fact that they were full, we had a table almost immediately and our food took very little time to be prepared. I ordered country chicken: chicken tenders and biscuit with hashbrowns and sausage gravy - my better half ordered their famous corn beef hash with eggs, toast, and hashbrowns. As a southerner who rarely finds a good biscuit and gravy plate here in the midwest, I was pleasantly surprised. And the homemade corn beef hash was better than imagined. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent prices - you definitely cannot go wrong with George's.
(5)Jean S.
Great prices with a lot of food! Home style food with large portions. Love the Lake Erie Perch which is sweet and gently fried. Mousakka is delicious made with Eggplant a Geek delight! George is always there to welcome his guest. Always busy but service is great. Very popular on the west side!
(4)Kat Y.
Solid food. Solid no-frills but friendly service. Fast. Cheap. Nowhere else are you going to get an 8oz sirloin steak with potato (baked, fries, homefries, mashed), soup, salad, bread and butter for a price that won't give you food poisoning. In 5 minutes flat. The first time I came here, I was shocked at how fast my food came. I think the next time I came, I literally timed it with my phone from the second I finished ordering to the time I got my food. If I recall, it was 2 minutes and 21 seconds to get the soup and salad. Everything else arrived in the next 3 minutes. It's like...they can read my mind and know what I want! I could die happy drinking their chicken noodle soup. It is that good.
(5)Robert M.
Okay, so I read all of the reviews and thought, wow this must be the end all be all. So off we went for breakfast. So we go in and are seated right away. Before getting to the table though, we are lead into the intersection where the busboy and two waitresses try to run us down. Not intentionally I am sure, but there was nothing polite about the pushing and shoving to get us out of their way. So not feeling the love. The place is a bit outdated, but that is okay. we asked to sit by the window, so we ended up in the back with no window. Apparently we were not allowed to sit in any of the several available window tables. Must be my good looks. So at this point, 1 star is looking like a stretch. Next, we get a waitress that is apparently busy and has the interpersonal skills of a lump of coal. All though I am sure she had been run ragged. Did not look like they had enough staff, so can give her a pass. So really at this point, I want to just make a comment and get out. The better half calms me down. So we place our order and play catsup trivial pursuit, thank you Heinz. So reading the other reviews, we are expecting the food to come flying out. 20 minutes later and a very empty and lonely cup of coffee later, the food arrives. I am thinking there is no way this is going to be worth all of this hassle. I my fellow yelpers was incorrect. The Corned beef hash is in my top 10 list. For those that think that is not impressive, I just moved here from RI and New England (that is all of those tiny little states up there) take their hash seriously. So this is to say, it is really good. The pancakes were wicked good (see proves I lived in NE). And the biscuits and gravy were really good as well. Only gripe on the food is that the biscuits are frozen. I have not been to a place in Ohio that actually makes their biscuits. If there is a place, I would love for someone to tell me. Anyway, this place was able to salvage it's self somewhat. So if you can put up with the service, the food is worth the wait. Next time we will try the non breakfast stuff.
(4)Mike M.
How can you not give this place 5 stars...WOW!!! Sure, it's a dive diner that looks like the 1960's when you walk in. What amazes me is the menu in the pics is accurate in That the prices go back to the 1970's. I mean I don't think anything on the menu is $10 and most entrees well below it. On top of that the food was very good. I had the Sunday special of turkey and dressing with 2 veggies. Also came with a very good bowl of chicken noodle soup and a small salad. I was eating an early dinner today so I also went with Apple pie ala mode. I am stuffed!!! When the bill came I thought I was way underpaying. They practically are giving the food away!! I don't see how they can stay in business but they do. Total bill with tea and tax was $12.90. The pie and ice cream was. $3,90. The turkey meal was $6.75. Incredible!!! My table service was very good. Specific scores are: Taste of food was a 4 Quantity of food was a 5 Cost of food was a 5 Table service was a 4 Very good food, very good service and unbelievably low prices....come eat here!!!!

I dropped a hot dog on the floor when i was a kid and it hit the wall next to me, it smeared mustard and ketchup on the wall.. the mustard stain is still there. I'm 30.

Quintessentially Cleveland, George's Kitchen is pretty brilliant. It's a working man's diner and a family restaurant. It's oozing with character and charm and all it takes is one visit. As soon as you walk in you'll be greeted with smiles and a friendly "Sit anywhere you like, hon." There's a counter that runs the length of the kitchen to the right and plenty of seating both booth and table. If I had to describe the decor I'd say it's functionally kitschy. You know the places that shop around for odds and ends in an attempt to make their restaurants look funky and lived in? Well, George's invented that look and I doubt it's changed much over the last 30 years. Formica counters, hanging plants, mirrored walls, greying drop ceiling panels and green Naugahyde. And there's something about the smell of a place like George's, that soothing and comforting odor of grease, coffee, bacon and slightly burnt toast. I've only ever eaten here for breakfast so I can't attest to the lunch and dinner ambiance. I'd imagine it's just as good. Another thing I can't help notice is how the waitresses, white shirted and black aproned, are always busy. I don't think I've ever been in here when there hasn't been at least three ladies busily plugging away behind the counter slicing bread, making salads, preparing for lunch and dinner service. No one stands around. No one is texting. No one is wasting a second. These women know what it means to work for a living. On our most recent visit our server, an older woman, matronly, like a grandma, European accent still in tow, took care of us well. Like we were eating at her own table. We've never had poor service here and doubt that we ever will. The food, where to begin. Like I said, for me, George's is a breakfast joint. If you're looking for a breakfast full of comfort foods, stick to your ribs foods, foods that will transport you back to a time when people didn't give a shit about cholesterol and trans fats, you are in the right place. This is a place where you can order seconds of bacon and white bread toast and you won't elicit stares from the vegans in the next booth. This is a place where even the steak and eggs platter will cost you less than $8. My wife adores their pancakes. They're fluffy, buttery and as big as your head. And the omelets? Huge and full of fresh ingredients. The coffee is hot, not terribly strong and always refilled. I can't say enough good things about George's. It's what Cleveland would look like if it was personified by a restaurant. It's friendly and inviting even to first-timers and the food is cheap, served fast and without pretense. And before you start to think I'm some weepy-eyed sentimental, it's not perfect. If you tried I'm sure you could find something to complain about, maybe it's not white glove clean, maybe it's a bit dated, maybe the eggs they use aren't cage free and organic, but taken as a whole, dings and dents included, it's a piece of my city and it's a good one.
(4)Eric S.
So we arrive after a 5 hour flight starving at 8pm. Needless to say we would have eaten at any hole in the wall but our trusty Yelp app brought us to George's Kitchen. Boy were we happy. This place does comfort food right. It is a diner. But it is a diner the way it is meant to be right down to Flo type waitresses (you have to have grown up in the 70's to get that one). The food was exactly how it was portrayed on the menu with large but not too large portions. The service was fast despite the crowd. Definitely will "find" this place again if I ever get back there.
(4)Bailey J.
Hands down one of my new favorite places in cleveland! I was a little worried at first, but this place proved me wrong. service was quick, my friends and I had a fabulous waitress named Jen and when we go back we will be requesting her. She made great recommendations since it was our first time there and she was all around just a great waitress! I ordered the turkey deluxe club with fries and cole slaw and chicken noodle soup. Everything was just so fresh and way better than anything you would get at a chain restaurant. For dressed I had apple pie and that was also homemade, Jen even warmed it up for us and added their homemade whipped cream! All of my friends loved what they ordered: steak, ribs, roasted chicken dinner and desserts. Prices are completely reasonable! It's like they are practically giving food away. One of the reviews talked about the decor and how it needed updating... who cares when the food is that good! Definitely will be returning!
(5)Steve C.
Food here was great and the portions were huge. Staff was super nice and very accommodating. Crowded when we aww arrived although service wasn't slowed. It has that classic diner look, but minus 1 star because maybe a little remodeling and extra cleaning would make this place more appealing to a larger clientele.
(4)Heather A.
Old fashioned diner. It is always crowded so we had to stop and check this place out. For being packed the service was fast and friendly! This place is a bargain for the amount of food you get!!
(4)Tracy F.
Eh..... It seems as if either I'm a complete snob in all my reviews ... Or I'm hard to please. Lol Maybe I got the wrong thing today or this is just one of those places that you have to grow up on? Either way, the food came out fast... Was cooked perfect, but just was underwhelming. I got the country fried steak n eggs plus pancakes. My daughter we got the biscuits n gravy--- was way too peppery and we sent it back. Our friend got the beef short ribs and was happy...... Nice waitress and quick. Although upon receiving our order there was a long hair attached to one of the plates. In felt it and then found it thank goodness. When we were leaving I had a chance to watch the cooks in the kitchen. It's interesting bcuz the servers just call out the orders over a mic--- and they are working hard at pumping out the food. However--- nay a ONE had on gloves.... Reaching into the prep tables and cooking it up, bare handed. That's just plain nasty. Come on George!!!! So to sum things up. Good food. Good prices.... But let's hope and pray those boys in the back are keeping themselves clean. Ewe.
(3)bird l.
I read a recent review by another helper about George's not having any specialty items. They have moussaka for pete's sake! They also have something crazy called a garbage plate burger, I don't eat burgers, but it looked interesting with lots of items smothering the whole plate. It's the perfect place to go for hangover brunch.
(4)Lance S.
When we got here, it wasn't really clear what the procedure was for seating. There was a huge line, and it seemed a little like a free-for-all. We settled in, expecting a pretty serious wait, but ended up getting seated in less than 10 min. Looking around, the food at all the tables looked really good and the portions were very generous. The server was really nice and got us our drinks and took our orders quickly. The food came fast and tasted great. Pancakes tasty, eggs cooked just right, crispy hash browns, and some pretty decent corned beef hash. The only thing keeping this review from a 5-star is the fact that the place was run-down and could use a little clean-up. That's it. All in all a great experience. Two of us, in and out in less than 40 minutes, for $22 (including tip). Worth another visit for sure.
(4)Sara T.
This is a great diner. Always busy and great food at a reasonable price. This special place is a real favorite of mine and fabulous for people watching.
(5)A A.
Best place for some quick and cheap comfort food. Huge selection, breakfast all day. Can't beat the prices. It's always crowded but we've never waited more than 5 minutes.
(5)Chris C.
I like the atmosphere it reminds of the movie pupil fiction and the omelettes are really good. The price is right! I will be back for years to come.
(4)Jake R.
Excellent. Food was delicious, portions were huge, and the service was great. I will definitely be frequenting this place!
(5)Paul W.
I will return... I had a Cuban Sandwich there and it was to die for! I hear that it's open 24 hours? Sounds like a good place to go to to cure the hangover! I'll eat another Cuban Sandwich as well!
(4)Ashley L.
Inexpensive, warm "family" atmosphere, huge portions of delicious comfort food. The Moussaka (I hope I'm spelling that correctly!) is my absolute favorite. Their breakfast is fantastic as well.
(5)Ryan K.
Delicious food and crazy fast service! Great family joint and perfect for breakfast. Homemade chicken noodle soup is to die for and they're great for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Best of all, pretty much every meal is 6.99 or less! Soup and sometimes salad is included along with bread and butter.
(5)Ian S.
Large portions of cheap food for a very reasonable price. The food is cheap GFS frozen garbage, the hash browns and fries are never salted, and the eggs/omelettes are always brown. That being said, it isn't terrible food. Don't expect much, it is a classic greasy spoon. It is better than fast food, and it is convenient, which is why I eat here. The waitresses are friendly, the service is very fast, and George is a greek version of Don Vito. Listen to the waitress drama, it will make you laugh.
(3)Maria S.
The best diner in Cleveland by far. I've had a lot of Cuban sandwiches and this was one of the best I've had which was completely surprising, plus it came with fries and cost $5.25. The prices don't even seem possible they are so low. Also tried corned beef omelet, sausage gravy, chicken fried steak, and a pancake. All items legit - whole check was $24! I can't believe I've been here for 2 years and never come here. I will be a regular now.

We are regulars there. Food is very affordable so much so that I go 2 or 3 times a week with the family. Great food as Well. Pancakes are delicious. My wife says they taste like funnel cakes and I have to agree.
(4)Paul R.
Second time I've been here and good both times. The foods is inexpensive and very tasty. Steak and eggs for under $8. Service was fat, friendly and we were seated right away for a Saturday morning. Is not in the best part of town, but worth the trip.

Not sure where everyone else's food standards are when they're here but I thought my side salad was old, soggy and floppy, entree was tasteless and dry (Had chicken sandwich) and the coke was flat...The server never came back to fill up our drinks or ask us how the food was. If she had, i would have asked for a new salad and a different sandwich. Will never be back here, sadly.

Been a customer of this establishment for 30 yrs. I have nothing but excellent things to say. Extremely friendly staff, pricing, quality, quickness....just naming a few. The servers are awesome. Though we have one that stands out, The others we've had are quality servers. Keep it going. Never a bad experience!

I come here so often with the roomates for ugly breakfast. Its cheap and easy and right up the road. I'm just still peeved about them changing the sugar canisters.
(4)Vanessa S.
Tasty, cheap, homestyle food! I've been a regular my entire life (literally since I was a baby). Pancakes, eggs, and bacon is under $4 during the week, and just over a dollar more on the weekends. Love this place!
(5)Arnold S.
A diner that just welcomes you with open arms and home cooked goodness. The prices are incredibly low for what you get. Huge portions of warm your heart meals. This isn't your trendy, hipster gastropub. This is a blue collar, old school diner filled with real people. The service here is incredible as well. I always get their pork chops with Greek Style sauce. The chicken noodle soup is primo! Along with that, this my choice location for breakfast. The hash is awesome. Keep going strong George!
(5)Rachel D.
I've only been to George's twice but my boyfriend and I both dream about their pancakes! They are the most delicious pancakes both of us have ever had! He has also ordered an omelet which he liked and I ordered their eggs and hashbrowns. Eggs were fine and the hashbrowns were also amazing!! Cheap prices too! But don't go too late in the morning on a Sunday cuz you'll have a bit of a wait. I love this place!!
(5)Deana B.
If u want or need a great place to eat with the family this is the place to be. When you walk in door all you here is hello and how are you doing just eat there once and when you walk in everybody knows your name. The lady are so nice and the food is so wonderful ......

I am shamed. This is the Platonic Form of Diner, and my first visit is sinfully today. Chicken soup screams Diner. Bar stools at lunch counter scream Diner. Waitress with thick European accent of indeterminate origin screams Diner. Perch from Lake Erie screams Diner. Mom and I gorged ourselves for $15, also, of Diner. You could lift this joint by helicopter and drop it in Manhattan tomorrow, all of NYC would praise the Diner Gods on bended knee without ceasing. And you, YOU who have kept this place your secret Diner Nirvana, who are you people? You are sinners against all that is Diner, in league with scribes and pharisees. All that is good and holy and of Diner, you speak of it not, lest your fellow diners seek nourishment from the font of Diner. Repent!

I admit, without the positive reviews from Yelp/Yelpers, I would not have eaten lunch at George's Kitchen. It's not your foodie/organic/hipster place. This is a super simple, unpretentious, down-home establishment. You are welcomed when you walk in the door and graciously thanked on your way out. Yeah, some seats are ripped and tables chipped and stains here and there....but it's okay, trust me. I felt good about spending my money here - I like that feeling. I ordered the gyro and it was excellent. It came with a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup...which I almost declined, but thought better of it because I had a feeling it would be homemade. The chicken noodle soup was indeed homemade and perfect. My dining partners ordered spaghetti and meatballs, potato pancakes and french fries --- all of which were fine. Nothing to write home about, but definitely quality diner fare at a way reasonable price. I like George's Kitchen. It's just a good place with good people.

They deserve five stars for breakfast. I had to take away a star for cleanliness, decor, lunch and dinner items and rock hard waffles. By far, the best county fried steak. Cooking eggs just right is a science, and they definitely have it down here. The chicken noodle soup and the hot cocoa with whipped cream are exceptional, please try. Service is a hit or miss. Extremely busy on Saturday and Sunday morning, but they will have you in and out fairly quick. Best cheap breakfast in town. Why can't they do some remodeling and clean the place up? That aspect baffles me, I wish they would work on that.

I was visiting outside of Cleveland last month for a funeral. On the way to the airport. We all decided to eat at George's Kitchen. I did not know what to expect. Because, it looked like an old restaurant on the outside. But, don't let that fool you. The food is great and so is the split pea soup they have. I also suggest to try their cheese sticks. It is different along with their marinara sauce it is so good.
(4)Bob C.
Exceptional home cooking at blue collar pricing. Amazing pork chops and spaghetti with meatballs. Tried the spicey burger with ghost pepper cheese. Double patty for $6.95. Very good! Friendly and courteous staff. Neighborhood institution.
(5)Gerri P.
We LOVE Georges Kitchen. We have gone here for many years and keep coming back. Even after we moved out of the area its worth the 45 minute drive to get there delicious food. The stuffed cabbage is to die for , oh so good. Never had a bad meal here. And the prices are reasonable . Good portion sizes also, big appetite go for the sloppy plate, just great.
(5)Dan K.
I walked in, sat down, ordered my food, got my food, finished my food, and left faster than I can write this review. If you are in the mood for amazing and ridiculously cheap sit down food, and you need to get in and out in 15 minutes, George's kitchen is the place to go.
(5)Jennifer M.
Love love love Georges. .. Cheap good food, fast service, big portions... what more could u ask for?
(5)Bethany B.
This is the kind of place that makes you feel 6 years old again, it is like stepping back in time and going out for breakfast with your Grandparents. The food is delicious with very generous portions. The price is really great. Hands down one of the better breakfast places in town.
(5)Kyle S.
We were here at about 9:00 on St. Patricks day hoping to get a quick breakfast in before the boozers showed up to line their stomachs. When we got there it was just starting to get a little busy. The servers were all super nice. We walked in with our 6 month old son in hand and within a minute I had 3 different girls ask we wanted a high chair. Not only is the service here good and fast but the food was fantastic! The prices are good and the portions are big. I'm typically not a fan of homefries cause at most places they are insanely bland. The homefries here were great! You can tell they use quality eggs and not the cheapest things they can buy. They say jumbo eggs on the menu and they aren't lying, I had 3 jumbo eggs, bacon, homefries and toast for under $5.00 and I was stuffed when I left there. We like to check out new breakfast spots every Sunday and don't repeat our stops to often but we'll be back here at some point for sure. Well done George!

There is little doubt too much of my time and money are spent cooking. That means reading cookbooks, shopping all over town for spices, gadgets and appliances, preparing ingredients, cooking, and the worst two--cleaning afterward and finding places for things. The last month or so I have been limiting time spent by dining out more, getting carry out and buying prepared food. I have found most often I go to George's Kitchen. Here is the food that appears on kitchen tables all over the country. It is the home cook's meals that influence us and we remember all our lives. Celebrity chefs have little effect on what people eat at home or what they will remember most. George's extensive menu includes American classics as well as the ethnic dishes most of us have learned to cook in our own kitchens. I found this restaurant from reading yelp reviews that decried the surplus population of senior citizens who dine here. That sold it for me. I much prefer to dine amongst my peers who are polite and have accomplished so much. Thanks to the young Cleveland yelpers for guiding me to a place where I get good home cooking at such low prices.
(4)Beatrix D.
This kitchen is bitchin! The service is fast, the food is greasy, and you, friend, will leave bloated and satisfied! It is by no means going to earn a Michelin star anytime soon, but who cares? They serve mainly comfort food, but their menu is quite extensive. The portions are quite generous, so make sure you wear your fat pants!
(4)Adam P.
George's Kitchen is a West Park staple. If you want decent comfort/diner food and good service at a reasonable price, there's no place else. Carry out service is second to none -- your order will be ready in less than 15 minutes. Ordered takeout last night, and enjoyed their mac & cheese for the first time -- it was really great! Recent experiences, both dine-in and carryout, have inspired me to scan their menu and add it here (I also shared a PDF version that should be easier to read, pending moderator approval). The only downside is the amount of time it takes to decide what to order, since the menu to so large.
(5)Doug W.
George's best asset is the value. For lunch I had a walleye dinner. The fish was battered and fried and very good. I also enjoyed the cole slaw, but found the home fries and chicken noodle soup to be rather bland. The portions were huge and the whole meal was under $7. It's kind of a divey diner, but seems to be kept clean. Service was quick.
(4)Jack W.
Cheap tastey and home cooked. Favorite breakfast spot.
(4)Deanna E.
Good food, very cheap price wise and the counter lady was super awesome, everything was correct even our modifications. Great Walleye.
(5)Jennifer W.
We have been coming to this neighborhood diner for years and have probably sat down to an average of three meals a month. There's nothing like George's for Sunday breakfast! Like the other reviews mention, the service is fast and friendly, the food is good, cheap and plentiful, the menu choices are never-ending, and there is never a wait for parking or tables. Also, it may sound strange, but I think that George's has the fizziest, most delicious fountain soda in town! The prices are super inexpensive - I think our largest bill at George's was $30, and that was with 4 people - and each meal came with bread, salad, soup AND sides, and beverages. The waitresses are total pros, and will get your order out to you in record time. I do wish they had more vegetarian options, but I am always happy to get a grilled cheese with tomatoes or delicious pancakes. A veggie burger option would be awesome, but in the meantime, there are still plenty of things to choose from...
(4)Art D.
Just passing through on I-90, we decided to pull-off and avoid the chain and fast food places. Huge variety on menu. Great food, great service, and great prices. The interior is a bit worn, but you just can't beat this place for anything close to their low prices.
(5)Rachel B.
I really have no complaints about this really cute, big, family diner (yes, a real DINER in Cleveland!) in the West Park neighborhood. Service, as mentioned in other reviews, is lightning fast. Like, I didn't know you could cook an omelette that quickly! Let alone make it taste delicious. The corned beef hash is made in-house and is really great; it actually tastes like corned beef as opposed to overly salty potatoes. A real treat. The waitresses were really nice and charming. It seems like this place has its fair share of "regulars" but the people who work here offer up a smile and friendly conversation to just about anybody who walks through the door. The staff was also amazing at service and at never being idle. If they weren't waiting on tables, they were slicing bread, pouring dressing into individual cups for salads, and other little tasks that makes the rest of the day go smoother because they can just reach into the fridge and pull stuff out. Smart. We could have been out in 20 minutes if we had been in a hurry, but we weren't. Despite the quick turnover of tables, we never felt rushed, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. The place is a little raggedy, but it's obvious that nobody should really care about the way it looks so long as the food is good, cheap, and quick, and the service is great. And George's has all those qualities. Highly recommend for anyone who cares more about food and consistency than about what's popular and overpriced in the nearby areas.

Used to go often but not anymore. I disagree with earlier post that a bit of dirt didn't matter. But it does. The grime & dirty ceiling takes away one's appetite. Won't be coming back unless it gets a good review from the health inspector.
(1)Mama K.
This is an amazing place. I wish it were a lot closer! The service was very attentive and helpful, and the food was hot, fresh, and delicious (walleye for me, a steak for the husband, and spaghetti for the kiddo). Also, the prices are the most reasonable I've seen on a restaurant menu in a LONG time. The menu is extremely extensive; you could order something different every night and never get bored. (Well, I could!) Our server was so good. She made great recommendations, and she made sure that another server helped us after her double shift ended. George's Kitchen comes with our highest recommendation.
(5)Chris J.
Good food, great prices, nice atmosphere. Whenever I can't decide what or where to have dinner, I know I can find something on the menu at George's that will cause a minimal dent in my wallet. My parents brought me here and I still come here today. Even their takeout service is outstanding.
(4)Dustin M.
I wasn't expecting the parking lot to be almost full when visiting about noon, but my initial impression was good! The building itself is a little dated but clean and the staff is very friendly. I had the gyro omelet with toast and home fries and was very satisfied after. My fiance had the meatloaf and chose fries and vegetable soup and it came with some Italian bread. Everything looked and tasted like it was made from scratch (from what I was able to taste). I typically enjoy the diner atmosphere more than the typical corporate restaurant and George's did not disappoint!
(4)Kim F.
I give the actual place 3 stars and the food 4 stars. The inside of the diner atmosphere is quite down at heel and could use a little sprucing. The carpet needs a good steam cleaning and the tables (at least the one where we were sitting) need refinishing. That said, I WILL be going back. This is one of those places that you say "You know, I ought to go there...." and you forget. Well, my best friend (who is UBER picky about eating out) and her younger 2 kids love this place, so the boyfriend and I went this weekend. At 7 at night this place was jumping, some thing I haven't seen in a while due to the economy. We were seated right away and as a warning they only have booths, so that is usually a big NO for me as I am of generous proportions. I fit with room, so bonus on that. We were given water, menus and then were blessedly left alone to actually READ the menu BEFORE being asked what we wanted to drink (One of my pet peeves is being asked that BEFORE I EVEN HAVE ASS TO SEAT!) Large menu and extremely affordable. I dozen mozz sticks for $4.75. Yes, one dozen! They were hot, crispy and promptly served. I had the 8 oz. buffalo chicken sandwich and the boyfriend and the cornbeef and cabbage. Both meals came with soup or salad and mine with fries. Not too happy with the salad as it was smothered in onions (I hate onions) and it came out of a cooler right by our table, which to me should be behind the counter or in the kitchen. That bothered me a little . Boyfriend loved his dinner and so did I. My kaiser roll was so fresh, I would have thought they baked it that minute. Tip: cut the chicken in half and double decker your sammy. Too big for the bun! Our server was prompt, efficient and what I expect in a diner. Really good food, really good price. Will go again!
(3)Robert P.
The food for the price is good. They give larger portions at an appropriate price. This place is always busy. It is a hidden gem in Cleveland that is worth it. The only downside to the place is the service, mostly the wait staff. I live by here and go here a few times a year and every time the wait staff is an issue. Some of them act as if you are a bother to be there, some of the older ones take forever with everything and you never see them when you need something but there are a few good ones. For the price and food, I can accept the poor wait staff. I think the best part of George's Kitchen is their breakfasts! I recommend this place for a fast cheap bite to eat.
(4)Aubrey W.
Dear George: I want to apologize for not having found your kitchen sooner. As it turns out, not only is it less than five minutes from my house, but your breakfast never dissapoints. I should have been eating your delicious corned beef hash with a side of crispy home fries months ago. I have no excuse. Your most delectable Western Omelette oozes with cheddar cheese and the American dream. George, the service you provide the West Park neighborhood is unparalleled by any other greasy spoon on the West Side. Love always, Aubrey

So I am not from the neighborhood, but went here with a neighborhood regular. I don't know how much that helped. This place is a definite throwback to the 1960's and 70's concept of a comfort food diner. It represents a time when there were actual neighborhood diners, not the fabricated neighborhood diners that are actually parts of national chains. There is something to be said for local ownership that captures the spirit (and business) of a working class neighborhood. This place certainly does. It is clean, and well kept. Certainly not dreary. Menu is large, stocked with classic comfort food items. All served with soup (salad extra) and sides. Prices are small (generally less than $10) and portions are generous. You will likely be heading home with extra food. Service is friendly and attentive. I ordered the walleye. Two HUGE pieces of freshly breaded and fried fish. Not at all greasy. Great baked potato and slaw. Soup was a bit salty, but most are. Stir fry could feed a small army. Salad is basic, not fancy but good. If you are looking for light, healthy food, don't waste your time. If you are looking for gourmet and adventurous food, don't waste your time. If you are looking for hearty, well prepared food that is a good value and served by friendly people that capture the spirit of the diverse Westpark neighborhood, this is the place to go. This place cries out to be featured on a cable foodie show.

It was solid, cheap comfort food.
(3)Charlie R.
This place is a true hidden gem in Cleveland. Its a down-to-Earth diner with super cheap prices, great service and even better food! Two meals, drinks, and an appetizer for $17? Yes please. And the portions were giant! I recommend this for anyone looking for some great "home" style cooking on the cheap!
(5)Esther T.
Found this on Yelp on our way from the airport to rock and roll hall of fame. It is a family run diner, as good as those we've been to in New York. We are a group of six. We were sat immediately at 10:30 on a Saturday morning. The family at the next table said "that was fast!" as their food was sat down. And it was true. Fast & friendly service. The coffee was great, the portions huge, and the total bill for six: $33.00. Our faves were the homemade sausage, the bacon & cheese omelet, and the huge buttermilk pancakes that soak up the syrup. And plenty of free parking.
(5)Anthony P.
Thanks to fellow Yelpers for their review. I took the wife and kids for breakfast. The placed is packed with people and the service is very quick. The coffee was great, loved the hash browns and can't beat the price. $28.00 for 4 people. We will definitely be back again. I guess the kids were good and each got two lollipops when we cashed out. A great place for Sunday breakfast with the family! Carry on!!
(4)Art J.
Been coming here for a few years, always fast service, HOT food and have yet to have a bad meal. Great menu, with everything a diner should have and more. If you stop for breakfast you to have the corned beef hash, prob the best in Cleveland. If you like great hot food that is priced right this is a perfect spot.
