open on Labor Day? check. central location for a bunch of my family to meet up? check. decent prices? check. diner menu? check. Yours Truly seems to be a small chain of diners in Ohio. the fam took me here for my goodbye meal before my flight. I was in BREAKFAST MODE, so I ordered the "Barcelona omelet". big-ass omelet with jalapenos and onions, with some really spicy salsa on top. I destroyed the whole thing in no time. ordered the cottage fries with it - these were similar in appearance to ruffled potato chips, but with the thickness and texture of french fries. pretty good. the homemade lime-ade was tasty too. the benefit of having children at your table means they never finish their meal. now, one of my cousins and his housemate are on Weight Watchers, so I used that as leverage to guilt them into ceding the kids' leftovers to me. bahahahaha! sampled some bacon (crispy and delicious), breakfast sausage (a bit spicy and greasy, as it should be), and a chocolate chip pancake (okay). service was decent. at 11 AM it was somewhat packed, so service lagged a little. our waitress was quite friendly. there's an outdoor patio area, which is pets-friendly. solid diner place. nothing outstanding but not bad.

Yours Truly is one of those places where they have a huge option of choices from breakfast to lunch. As good as some of their lunch options are (sweet potato fries are super yummy), I have to say I usually always order breakfast! In fact, I normally order the same thing every time I go! I have to say my favorite is the Gorgeous Omelet. It has Gorgonzola cheese, ham, spinich....and you can order it with egg whites too. Great spot for brunch with the family and the Valley View location has the cutest little toy train table to keep the little ones occupied if there is a little wait on a busy Sunday.

I recently ate here on 2 separate occasions. One never expects diner food to be excellent, however most diners I have been to carry with them a standard of high service. Unfortunately, I cannot say that Yours Truly meets that same standard. One of my visits was on a busy weekend and the other during a slow weekday dinner. Both times food was mediocre, and worse still was the attentiveness of wait staff. It is crazy to me when the managers at such establishments come by, and ask how everything is and you kind of think to yourself "Are you kidding me?" For what it's worth, the food is o.k. as far as diner foods go; actually the menu is quite large. The service however really leaves room to be desired

Horrible experience on a Sunday morning. The omlette was undercooked and toast was cold and barely toasted. The service was equally as poor. Waste of time and they don't seem to care.

It was a typical diner but with less food options. I don't think I would go back. I ordered a burger in hopes that it would be served with fries, but it was only the burger. I don't think I would go back.

Ok not great. Average diner-style food. Nothing special, good for picky or boring eaters. Not the best place for foodies.

I DO like Yours Truly's breakfast... but ONLY breakfast. The rest, I would say is on par with Applebee/Friday/Chili/whatever-type places. Over processed, over salted, unhealthy food. I recently came here for dinner and I woke up with a headache the next day from all the sodium. Ugh... Salt hangover! The breakfasts are really good though and I highly recommend them for that. The rest, not so much...

I am a HUGE fan of Yours Truly. They moved into this space after the failed venture, Parkside Diner moved out. Its done up in a very 50s retro and its in a great location. Free parking with the option of a garage to park in also. This has swayed me to them several times because its been raining, snowing.. etc and i knew i could park in cover and use the elevator. Yours Truly is very kid friendly. They even have a Thomas the Tank Engine train table fully stocked with every train from Emily to Percy! Not that i wouldn't be interested in that, but my kids love it! Some of my favorites here have always been the turkey club, the Special Delivery and of course.. The loaded Notso Fries. If you go to Yours Truly and dont get the fully loaded Notso Fries.. well, lets not mince words, you're an idiot. They have a patio for summer that is right on the towpath trail. So during your very healthy walk down the towpath, you can stop in for comfort food! Great place, Great food... Awesome staff.. This will become one of your "constants".

Nice little place with that diner feel feel to it. This was our first trip to this chain and we went there by chance. It was just my wife and I and we were looking for something with a more relaxed setting. We knew it was good for us when we walked in and foundation kids play area near the front door. Meals were fairly priced and everything was good and served hot. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because there really wasn't anything exceptional about it. Just good food at good prices with good service.

Yours Truly is a great family owned local chain restuarant. The breakfast is great and the food is always fresh. On the down side, it is a little expensive for the portions they serve you. I had an $8 chicken wrap the other day which came with a slice of cantaloupe on the side. When I got home I made myself something else to eat since the wrap was pretty small and the meal wasn't very filing. I will stick to breakfast only in future visits.

50's diner theme - check extensive menu - check My in-laws took us here for lunch on xmas eve. It was a nice change of pace and much needed break from all the meat and starches that I had consumed during the week. I opted for the Napa Salad, which consisted of baby spinach, grilled chicken, walnuts, gorgonzola, grapes, dried cranberries, and a side of house made vinaigrette. I must say, not bad for a diner, and i was very appreciative that my chicken wasn't overcooked. I'm sure we'll be back sometime in the near future to sample the rest of the menu. I loved the location and the proximity to the canal; it made for a nice scenic drive after our meal.

We get incredibly fast service every time we go here. Dunno if we are just getting lucky or what. Anyway the sweet potato fries are ridiculously good here with the tango sauce. My girlfriend and I always get the Monte Cristo because it's one of the best sandwiches we have ever had including the offerings of many higher priced establishments. To top things off we really like the "oldschool" feel of the diner and the music that they play. After moving up here from Cincinnati we've had a VERY hard time locating a decent restaurant in Cleveland when compared to Jeff Ruby fair and the local establishments I frequented down there. I'm not sure if it's just the economic downturn in Cleveland or what but it's most definately NOT "rocking" my taste buds. =) This Yours Truly is a diamond in the rough for us.

Great location near the towpath but overall not impressive. I ordered a burger with fries. I don't remember which burger exactly but it came with cheese, bacon, and pickles. No lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing else on the plate. It was okay but it seems to me that if you order a burger at some place that serves it on a plate instead of in a bag, you should get all the stuff to put on it. Basic stuff. The fries were those weird food service round disks. Okay but not great. My friend got the sliders and was full at the end of the meal but not overly impressed. She ordered cole slaw which was, to our amazement, the best part of the meal. It was really good. The cole slaw. Beers cost $3.50 domestic, $4.50 import.

I want to give them a better rating, I really do, because it's a cute little restaurant with nice people and a tastey menu, located in cute little Valley View. But their service was once again horribly slow when I visited a second time, and it wasn't even busy. We seemed to have 3 or 4 waiters randomly serving us at different times, all 4 of which vanished when it came time for getting our check and paying. It was ridiculous how long the check/payment process took for them. And we had to kind of grab the waitress's attention as she hurriedly gave us our check and tried to leave to ask for a box, she never offered, which is bad service considering how much food we had leftover. They need to work on this!

I've been in Cleveland for a year and this is worst food we've eaten. In all fairness, the service was fast and friendly and the decor and atmosphere were pleasing We visited on a late Friday afternoon for lunch. The food arrived quickly, but I would've waited longer had something better arrived. I had the fish fry, fried fish and french fries. The outside of the fish was burnt but inside the batter was still wet, the cottage fries were obviously frozen and my guess - freezer burnt too. I'm not against frozen fries, especially at a diner, but they were really really bad - dry mushy insides with a limp exterior. The accompanying coleslaw was tasteless! My husband had the gyro, which was even worse. I'm pretty sure the meat was from a frozen package, heated, then placed on thick, stale, tasteless pita bread - no tomato, no lettuce, no onion, just a thin spread of what they call tzatziki. No side on this dish. Our expectations were not high, after all it's diner, but even a diner has to have standards. We won't be back.

Monday late morning brunch...place was 90% crowded during that time (always a good sign). Our large party was seated almost immediately, however. The food was good...I had the corned beef hash w/2 eggs. Nicely done. Everyone else (including the five kids in our party) seemed happy with their food. Refills were frequently made, too. Only complaint was how long it took the food to get out from the kitchen. We were running a little late for our movie as a result, and we tried to order pretty quickly. Minor issue.

Considering how many times I've eaten here, I can't believe I haven't written a review by now! The nutshell version is- I really enjoy coming to this place. It has a diner feel, but with what I consider to be a little better quality than your average diner. I always sit up at the bar and get great service by the women up there. On a typical Saturday late morning, it wouldn't be uncommon for their to be at least 5 screaming children, which is why I try to get there a little earlier on weekends. I've ordered off their lunch and breakfast menu, and I have to say I enjoy the breakfast the most, even though their burgers are pretty solid. My favorite thing to order is probably the eggs benedict- they serve it pretty traditionally with English muffins and Canadian bacon, and I'm never disappointed. Overall, I just like the feel of this place, as well as the consistency. I think it's a good place for a casual lunch meeting, or a weekend brunch.

Great menu with several vegetarian options. The service is fast and friendly. Most items are scratch made (hummus, veggie burger). Family owned and operated. Very consistent. We had the hummus and two veggie burgers. All very flavorable. We also had sauted spinach and onions.

Yours Truly is a signature restaurant in the Cleveland area. The notso fries are THE BEST! The inside is decorated like a diner and aside from having a main entrance and a side one that is a bit unorganized, this place is great!

DIRTY. The silverware was caked with dried food. One of our glasses of wine arrived with pithy fruit residue on the side of the glass and lipstick already on the glass! The server said the glass must have been intended for a mimosa?! Floors were sticky in some spots, greasy in others. My chicken was rubbery and undercooked in certain spots. Officially done with this place. It's filthy and the food is sub-par. The Board of Health needs to shut this place down.

Stopped here this afternoon while on a towpath bike ride. They were very busy. We asked for an outdoor table and the hostess/waitress saw that a table was just vacated so she went over herself and quickly cleaned it for us. She was very accommodating about an allergy issue and was just great throughout. For the most part we really enjoyed our food; I just didn't care for the wafer fries too much. It is a casual diner-type atmosphere.

We were staying in Independence and looking for something local, cheap and with lots of options. This place definitely did the trick. This was actually my second time here and both have been super good. We weren't super hungry so we got the soup and sandwich/soup and salad option and it was the perfect size. I had the chicken noodle soup, which tasted like home. I also upped my salad and went with a cesar. I wasn't a huge fan of the amount of pink peppercorns, but it was good nonetheless and much larger than expected. At our table we also had the chicken salad sandwich, which was very fresh with apples and grapes. We also had their version of loaded fries which were really good! I like the flat shape of the potatoes and they sucked in the flavor really well. In addition to the food, the people here were great. You could tell it was a local-home-type place and I would definitely go back.

We went for dinner tonight, and I think the word that sums it up best is BLAH. Two of us had the fish fry. Blah. Fish was almost devoid of flavor. The accompanying fries... blah. Again, tasted like nothing much. The cod dinner? Blah. Mild to the point of almost no taste, although the accompanying vegetables were good. People often talk of reasonable prices here, but we felt we paid way more than we should have for the food we got. The Notso Fries appetizer was good, but it's pretty hard to screw up a plate of fries covered with cheese and bacon. Service-wise, we had the kind of server that completely ignores the fact that anyone at your table is talking and just completely talks over you. That about sums it up.

Stopped by to have breakfast here on my visit to Cleveland and it's a nice diner/breakfast restaurant. The menu was diner-like, but it was a bit fancier than a diner. There are also a few TVs inside for those looking to catch their news or sports. It was a Sunday morning at 10am and for a party of 4 we waited for about 15 minutes, which wasn't all that bad. The restaurant was pretty big, with some counter seating and outdoor seating available as well. I took a look at the menu and it was extensive! There were tons of items on there and those menus are the ones that get me because I can stare at them FOREVER and not be able to make up my mind. I eventually settled on the Killit Skillet with a side of Corned Beef Hash. The Skillet came with two eggs (mine were sunny side up), bacon, sausage, golden hash browns and a toasted ciabatta. I couldn't complain about a thing on my order as everything was perfect. I especially loved the ciabatta as it was toasted with some butter on it. The side of Corned Beef Hash didn't look like the most appetizing side, but it was still good. The service was also excellent as our waitress was very accommodating with our requests during our visit. A solid breakfast choice if anyone is ever in the area.

Nice place right off the towpath. Food wasn't out of this world, but it was good. They serve smoothies and your basic food items. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and coleslaw, both were good. They also have a nice patio you can eat out on. I'll continue to come here, more for the convenience of being right off the towpath, but again the food was solid.

Met a friend for brunch last Saturday & was totally disappointed in not only the level of service but the quality and taste of the food. The omelette center was runny and uncooked and the extra side of "peppered bacon" greasy and under-cooked. The noise level was HIGH and a chaotic environment topped it off. I remember the first Yours Truly that opened in Shaker - now, that was service & good food! Rockside location needs quality control ...

Megan T.
Friends frequently gather here as it's a good east vs. west location and convenient to everyone. I have always had the notso omelet. I'm not an omelet kinda girl but this one is delish! Service is always hit or miss. They also struggle to accommodate groups of more than maybe six.

Nice location on the tow path river there. Plenty seating and a big patio, clean bathrooms with 2 extra outside the entrance. The food was what was to be expected given the fair price. Pretty big menu with the options typical of a diner. I had a burger and a salad and it was cooked well, french dressing was really sweet. Service was pleasant, we were checked on often while things were quickly brought out. Will enjoy going to this location again.

I was spending a couple days in the area and used YELP to help me hunt down breakfast spots. There are the usual Denny's and Bob Evans...but life's to short to go that route (if possible). Yours Truly was a short distance from the hotel, and on the Erie Canal towpath. The path is one of the reasons I was exploring the area, so I tried it out. I ended up eating here both mornings. Nice fast service, the food was fine (had to send back some burnt bacon, but the second attempt was really good) and a bright clean atmosphere. I'll eat here when visiting the Cuyahoga Valley National Park again.

The service was very slow for breakfast. We were there for 1.5 hours. Breakfast should never take that long. The server was okay, she seemed to be flustered during the whole visit by our party of seven. We ordered water but did not get it until several minutes later and after she asked again what we wanted to drink. There was a mix-up with the food and people got the wrong things. One of the members of our party did not get her food until well after everyone had theirs and was eating. It also took a very long time for coffee refills. The service definitely took away from the experience. The following are individual reviews from each of the members: Because of the order mishap, my meal was compensated for by the restaurant which I thought was a good move, I didn't even have to ask for it. The food (when I did get it ) was nothing too special. I got the M & M omelet with a side of hash-browns, it was okay to say the most. All in all, I wouldn't return to Yours Truly for a Breakfast Club gathering, but as always, I did enjoy the company! Ordered the Sedona signature omelet, got the M & M signature omelet instead. The omelet itself was pretty good even though it looked dried out. I would order it again if I'm ever at another Yours Truly. The waitress wasn't good about refilling water as my water was empty the entire time. I had the medley which had eggs, cheese and bacon in a pita. I got my eggs over-easy which paired well with the crunchy pita and crunchy bacon. It was a really good choice for a lighter breakfast (not too heavy or greasy). I'd definitely order it again. The food was much better than the service but nothing you couldn't make at home. Sedona Omelet- cheese, ham, green pepper, and onion The omelet itself was good. It wasn't anything special, but it was better than your normal greasy spoon omelet. It had some fluffiness to it and there was plenty of ham, green pepper, cheese, and onion. The hash browns were nothing to get excited about and the portion size was small (which was probably a good thing). The coffee was actually not bad compared to regular diner coffee. The service was not very good at all. Our waitress was very nice, but not particularly attentive. If you plan on going to this place make sure you are not in a rush to get any where afterwards. I had the Palermo omelette, it looked like a burrito, but was decently good, but nothing to brag about.

Yours truly? Sounds like I am signing off a letter to someone I really like. Well maybe that's perfect for this place as I really liked my breakfast visit the other day. We went on a sunny Fall Sunday. Given this restaurant is situated along the Erie Canal Tow Path, there were plenty of changing leaves and scenery to delight the eyes. The important thing to note is this restaurant sits at the back of a complex. Turn at the chocolate place in the gray building and wander to the back and you should find it just up from the parking lot. I was warmly greeted by the host who immediately found me a table in the diner section- a little odd as my booth felt like it was floating in the room but it was spacious and I knew the server couldn't miss us! Our server, Carina, was terrific! Always quick with a coffee refill and a quip, here is someone who loves mornings and seems to love taking care of people in her section as well. My friend had the "Killer Skillet" (looked amazing with 2 eggs, hash browns, sausages, bacon and toast) and I had an omelet (they have several reciped ones but I went with my stand by which was quite tasty and served with some crispy bacon on the side. If you want fruit substituted for the potatoes or toast- it will cost you an extra dollar and I just didn't think the small cup of mixed fruit was worth it. Most places these days will sub it out for free. But the prices are reasonable with breakfast for two coming in around $25. But the food was good, the location convenient and the service spot on! And given this was a Sunday morning- I expected a wait and yet there was none. Score! I always love it when a plan comes together!

This would actually be a 2.5 stars from me - but the rest of my party had no issues. Pro: Nice place in a decent location. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Neutral: Not great for larger parties. Don't accept reservations, but will take "phone ahead requests" - whatever that means. We had a party of 8, and I'm guessing on a normal busy morning we'd have been split between 2 booths - as it happens, a similar party was just finishing up as we arrived. We got a corner booth and they added a couple of 2-tops right in line, seating us all just fine. Cons: While most everyone had a decent meal - mine was a disaster. I ordered the corned beef hash - as did another in my party. My feeling is that they did not realize there were TWO identical orders for hash - as my food arrived many minutes after everyone elses. That was not a huge deal - what WAS a huge deal is that it was essentially raw. Cold and the potatoes in it were crunchy. Further - the description on the menu lead me to believe it was "home-made" hash - what it actually was was Dinty Moore from a can - the typical fare of $1.99 breakfast greasy spoons. HOWEVER - when I told our server that it was uncooked - WITHOUT HESITATION she said it would come off the bill. Others in my party got the "eggs bruschetta" and that looked awesome (and was well received by the 3 that had it). Another in our party had a monte cristo with sweet potato fries, and that looked excellent as well. Prices aren't outrageous, the coffee is decent. Just don't order the hash. The friendly staff is the saving grace at this place. I'd give it another go based on that alone.

On my way back from Omaha to my home state of Massachusetts (the land of Massholes and middle fingers a-plenty) we looked on Yelp for the perfect breakfast place, and lo': we found it here at Yours Truly. The menu was extensive and we both ordered omelettes. They were fluffy and filling and they certainly didn't skip on the ingredients. I liked that we could substitute home fries or toast for a fruit cup or grapefruit. Our hostess was very friendly and seemed happy to accommodate our request for tea. Our server was good enough but perhaps she had been there too long as she just didn't seem to have as much spring in her step as the hostess. One of the owners was there to help seat people and help out with checking on our food, which is great to see! If I ever stop by a Yours Truly again and it is just as nice, then five stars it will be! For the price you're paying, the food seemed good and you have a lot of choices. I also really liked the atmosphere as well; cozy and Christmas-y without being in your face.

The setting at this yours truly is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and create a great energy. The veggie omelet is delicious and cottage fries are a great side with the omelet. We had a quick fresh breakfast this morning and enjoyed a hot coffee with cinnamon. Always a go to for breakfast or lunch. The sante fe omelet is really good as well.

Yours Truly or Mine Falsely? Everything in this universe is impregnated with its opposite. Take Tom Petty's classic song "Into the Great Wide Open". The opposite would be "Out of the Bad Narrow Enclosure" which basically means the same thing. The breakfast is good. The service is also. I love the tile floors and the old fashioned feeling I get when I am there. The restaurant is right next to the Tow Path and there is some nice nature to observe. I always go for the Sun Burst or something like that. It is 4 or 5 dollars and comes with 2 eggs, fruit salad and a slice of toast.

Brian M.
The food here is really good. I don't know why, but I love diner food. I was up here yesterday and ordered the Palermo, but instead I got some omelette with mushrooms and tomatoes. I was so hungry, I didn't even bother saying anything and ate it anyways. I got hash browns and a side of rye toast with it. It absolutely hit the spot. The hash browns weren't as greasy and salty and I like them, but my cardiovascular system is thankful for that. We sat at the counter and our server was attentive and nice. I was here back in May of last year, and it was a great experience too. They also sell beer and wine. I will be back.

I love this place. The food is delicious! I highly recommend the Teri Tosser salad. The outdoor patio is a nice touch. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, which is important to me. I've been here at least half a dozen times, and have never had a problem with the service. I think the pricing is fair. The only thing keeping me from giving this place five stars is the wait time. Sometimes it takes a little longer than I would expect from a restaurant like this. I will definitely continue to eat here.

Great breakfast alternative for those staying at the hotels off Rockside at I-77. Lots of windows overlooking old Ohio & Erie Canal. Terrific omelet with Gorgonzola cheese and Canadian bacon. Cottage fries are a rare find anymore. Waitress was a little Scotch with the coffee. Just a great place to start the day-- you'll know it when you walk in the door.

I really wanted like this place because a dear friend is a server there. On an early Sunday evening about five tables were occupied. Two of us, it took fully ten minutes until our presence was acknowledged. No eye contact, no anything. And then, only because I asked the manager if we should seat ourselves. Then another seven or eight minutes to get our table. I asked the manager if my friend was working and received a surly "no". After that, our server was prompt and friendly. I ordered the turkey ruebin sandwich and my wife ordered a Greek omelet made with one whole egg and two egg whites, gluten free toast. Our food came in good time. It was tasty. However the toast was not buttered and no butter was served on the side or available on the table. Also, the Greek omelet was missing the olives! Our server stopped by occasionally to refill waters but never once asked how was our food. The strangest thing of all, my wife's table knife was strongly magnetized. Every time she picked it up, it would drag along her spoon or fork! I found out later, my friend was in ER with severe dehydration. I'm glad she's better today.

Usually good burger kind of place. Today our server stinks & our app that came with our dinner was burned. The hair in my ranch dressing was an especially nice touch. The only saving grace was that Damon the manager was very apologetic and nice. He's the only reason I would return.

I was visiting some relatives in town and they took me to this restaurant Yours Truly. The atmosphere was real nice, very family oriented. Their hummus was very good (surprisingly) and their fries were real good too. I like to dip the fries in the hummus =) All the food was pretty good and well priced. And our waitress was really nice which made the experience that much better. I would definitely come back.

Valley View location is as sleepy as the Chagrin Road store is bustling. Generally a good place, but had a bad customer service experience with them this week. They refused to honor a Groupon for the amount I paid for it contrary to the fine print on their own Groupon offer which could not be more clear. The manager was polite, but brought another employee with him as if I was going to cause a problem. Kinda weird over-reaction for merely calling them out on the inconsistency. I left feeling like a cheap jerk and doubt I'll be back. Update 4/6/2012: Groupon wrote me back apologizing for the situation and refunded the $7 I spend on the ill-fated Groupon I bought for Yours Truly. Still no response from Yours Truly to an email I sent to them on the same day I contacted Groupon.

Went to Yours truly for dinner before a movie around the corner with a few friends. I thought the decor inside was so cute. A modern day diner- just a little cleaner :) The service was great.. The waitress knew we were trying to make a movie and since everyone came after work, we all arrived a bit late after being stuck in rush hour- cutting into the time we gave ourselves for eating. But she was great- she made sure she expedited our order and was attentive, friendly, and provided fast service! The food was also great! We all shared the Lotso Notso fries- they're basically little potato homefries smothered in cheese- what's not to like about it?? I LOVE breakfast for dinner, so I was glad I had the option of that along with a HUGE menu of regular food items. I got the Killit Skillet without the bacon or sausage and it was delicious! The food is reasonably priced as well! I know I'll be returning to YT for dinner and probably a few hungover breakfasts! (I'll probably try another location closer to home - hope they live up to this location)!

It doesn't get better than this place for comfort food or the best omelet your money can buy in NEO. Friendly service always, and I love the family atmosphere.

I have to agree with the earlier review. The service wasn't awesome and the food isn't spectacular. It is about what you would expect from a diner-type atmosphere. I know Yours Truly has a special place in a lot of hearts out there, but it is just usually ok in my book. I have had better diner food elsewhere.

I hadn't been to a Yours Truly in a while when I visited this location recently, and was greeted with a friendly diner atmosphere. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu, which covered several different kinds of foods, though few of them were particularly healthy options. I settled for traditional pancakes, which were good. The food came very quickly, and I was out of there in no time.

open on Labor Day? check. central location for a bunch of my family to meet up? check. decent prices? check. diner menu? check. Yours Truly seems to be a small chain of diners in Ohio. the fam took me here for my goodbye meal before my flight. I was in BREAKFAST MODE, so I ordered the "Barcelona omelet". big-ass omelet with jalapenos and onions, with some really spicy salsa on top. I destroyed the whole thing in no time. ordered the cottage fries with it - these were similar in appearance to ruffled potato chips, but with the thickness and texture of french fries. pretty good. the homemade lime-ade was tasty too. the benefit of having children at your table means they never finish their meal. now, one of my cousins and his housemate are on Weight Watchers, so I used that as leverage to guilt them into ceding the kids' leftovers to me. bahahahaha! sampled some bacon (crispy and delicious), breakfast sausage (a bit spicy and greasy, as it should be), and a chocolate chip pancake (okay). service was decent. at 11 AM it was somewhat packed, so service lagged a little. our waitress was quite friendly. there's an outdoor patio area, which is pets-friendly. solid diner place. nothing outstanding but not bad.

Yours Truly is one of those places where they have a huge option of choices from breakfast to lunch. As good as some of their lunch options are (sweet potato fries are super yummy), I have to say I usually always order breakfast! In fact, I normally order the same thing every time I go! I have to say my favorite is the Gorgeous Omelet. It has Gorgonzola cheese, ham, spinich....and you can order it with egg whites too. Great spot for brunch with the family and the Valley View location has the cutest little toy train table to keep the little ones occupied if there is a little wait on a busy Sunday.

I recently ate here on 2 separate occasions. One never expects diner food to be excellent, however most diners I have been to carry with them a standard of high service. Unfortunately, I cannot say that Yours Truly meets that same standard. One of my visits was on a busy weekend and the other during a slow weekday dinner. Both times food was mediocre, and worse still was the attentiveness of wait staff. It is crazy to me when the managers at such establishments come by, and ask how everything is and you kind of think to yourself "Are you kidding me?" For what it's worth, the food is o.k. as far as diner foods go; actually the menu is quite large. The service however really leaves room to be desired
(2)TheZipper D.
Horrible experience on a Sunday morning. The omlette was undercooked and toast was cold and barely toasted. The service was equally as poor. Waste of time and they don't seem to care.
(1)Amy S.
It was a typical diner but with less food options. I don't think I would go back. I ordered a burger in hopes that it would be served with fries, but it was only the burger. I don't think I would go back.
(3)Bruce K.
Ok not great. Average diner-style food. Nothing special, good for picky or boring eaters. Not the best place for foodies.
(3)Habby H.
I DO like Yours Truly's breakfast... but ONLY breakfast. The rest, I would say is on par with Applebee/Friday/Chili/whatever-type places. Over processed, over salted, unhealthy food. I recently came here for dinner and I woke up with a headache the next day from all the sodium. Ugh... Salt hangover! The breakfasts are really good though and I highly recommend them for that. The rest, not so much...

I am a HUGE fan of Yours Truly. They moved into this space after the failed venture, Parkside Diner moved out. Its done up in a very 50s retro and its in a great location. Free parking with the option of a garage to park in also. This has swayed me to them several times because its been raining, snowing.. etc and i knew i could park in cover and use the elevator. Yours Truly is very kid friendly. They even have a Thomas the Tank Engine train table fully stocked with every train from Emily to Percy! Not that i wouldn't be interested in that, but my kids love it! Some of my favorites here have always been the turkey club, the Special Delivery and of course.. The loaded Notso Fries. If you go to Yours Truly and dont get the fully loaded Notso Fries.. well, lets not mince words, you're an idiot. They have a patio for summer that is right on the towpath trail. So during your very healthy walk down the towpath, you can stop in for comfort food! Great place, Great food... Awesome staff.. This will become one of your "constants".

Food quality, services and price were awesome!! Strongly recommend 'the Sunrise' for breakfast!! Truly enjoyed!!
(5)Kristopher P.
Nice little place with that diner feel feel to it. This was our first trip to this chain and we went there by chance. It was just my wife and I and we were looking for something with a more relaxed setting. We knew it was good for us when we walked in and foundation kids play area near the front door. Meals were fairly priced and everything was good and served hot. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because there really wasn't anything exceptional about it. Just good food at good prices with good service.
(4)Rock F.
Average food. Breakfast is good, but how hard is that . Great space Very clean Nice decor Great location Expensive Below average service.
(3)Brian C.
Yours Truly is a great family owned local chain restuarant. The breakfast is great and the food is always fresh. On the down side, it is a little expensive for the portions they serve you. I had an $8 chicken wrap the other day which came with a slice of cantaloupe on the side. When I got home I made myself something else to eat since the wrap was pretty small and the meal wasn't very filing. I will stick to breakfast only in future visits.
(4)Peter K.
50's diner theme - check extensive menu - check My in-laws took us here for lunch on xmas eve. It was a nice change of pace and much needed break from all the meat and starches that I had consumed during the week. I opted for the Napa Salad, which consisted of baby spinach, grilled chicken, walnuts, gorgonzola, grapes, dried cranberries, and a side of house made vinaigrette. I must say, not bad for a diner, and i was very appreciative that my chicken wasn't overcooked. I'm sure we'll be back sometime in the near future to sample the rest of the menu. I loved the location and the proximity to the canal; it made for a nice scenic drive after our meal.
(3)Johnny A.
We get incredibly fast service every time we go here. Dunno if we are just getting lucky or what. Anyway the sweet potato fries are ridiculously good here with the tango sauce. My girlfriend and I always get the Monte Cristo because it's one of the best sandwiches we have ever had including the offerings of many higher priced establishments. To top things off we really like the "oldschool" feel of the diner and the music that they play. After moving up here from Cincinnati we've had a VERY hard time locating a decent restaurant in Cleveland when compared to Jeff Ruby fair and the local establishments I frequented down there. I'm not sure if it's just the economic downturn in Cleveland or what but it's most definately NOT "rocking" my taste buds. =) This Yours Truly is a diamond in the rough for us.
(5)rohn g.
Great location near the towpath but overall not impressive. I ordered a burger with fries. I don't remember which burger exactly but it came with cheese, bacon, and pickles. No lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing else on the plate. It was okay but it seems to me that if you order a burger at some place that serves it on a plate instead of in a bag, you should get all the stuff to put on it. Basic stuff. The fries were those weird food service round disks. Okay but not great. My friend got the sliders and was full at the end of the meal but not overly impressed. She ordered cole slaw which was, to our amazement, the best part of the meal. It was really good. The cole slaw. Beers cost $3.50 domestic, $4.50 import.
(2)Jillian N.
I want to give them a better rating, I really do, because it's a cute little restaurant with nice people and a tastey menu, located in cute little Valley View. But their service was once again horribly slow when I visited a second time, and it wasn't even busy. We seemed to have 3 or 4 waiters randomly serving us at different times, all 4 of which vanished when it came time for getting our check and paying. It was ridiculous how long the check/payment process took for them. And we had to kind of grab the waitress's attention as she hurriedly gave us our check and tried to leave to ask for a box, she never offered, which is bad service considering how much food we had leftover. They need to work on this!
(2)Vanessa c.
I've been in Cleveland for a year and this is worst food we've eaten. In all fairness, the service was fast and friendly and the decor and atmosphere were pleasing We visited on a late Friday afternoon for lunch. The food arrived quickly, but I would've waited longer had something better arrived. I had the fish fry, fried fish and french fries. The outside of the fish was burnt but inside the batter was still wet, the cottage fries were obviously frozen and my guess - freezer burnt too. I'm not against frozen fries, especially at a diner, but they were really really bad - dry mushy insides with a limp exterior. The accompanying coleslaw was tasteless! My husband had the gyro, which was even worse. I'm pretty sure the meat was from a frozen package, heated, then placed on thick, stale, tasteless pita bread - no tomato, no lettuce, no onion, just a thin spread of what they call tzatziki. No side on this dish. Our expectations were not high, after all it's diner, but even a diner has to have standards. We won't be back.
(1)J. H.
Monday late morning brunch...place was 90% crowded during that time (always a good sign). Our large party was seated almost immediately, however. The food was good...I had the corned beef hash w/2 eggs. Nicely done. Everyone else (including the five kids in our party) seemed happy with their food. Refills were frequently made, too. Only complaint was how long it took the food to get out from the kitchen. We were running a little late for our movie as a result, and we tried to order pretty quickly. Minor issue.
(4)Morgan B.
Considering how many times I've eaten here, I can't believe I haven't written a review by now! The nutshell version is- I really enjoy coming to this place. It has a diner feel, but with what I consider to be a little better quality than your average diner. I always sit up at the bar and get great service by the women up there. On a typical Saturday late morning, it wouldn't be uncommon for their to be at least 5 screaming children, which is why I try to get there a little earlier on weekends. I've ordered off their lunch and breakfast menu, and I have to say I enjoy the breakfast the most, even though their burgers are pretty solid. My favorite thing to order is probably the eggs benedict- they serve it pretty traditionally with English muffins and Canadian bacon, and I'm never disappointed. Overall, I just like the feel of this place, as well as the consistency. I think it's a good place for a casual lunch meeting, or a weekend brunch.
(5)Jim n.
Great menu with several vegetarian options. The service is fast and friendly. Most items are scratch made (hummus, veggie burger). Family owned and operated. Very consistent. We had the hummus and two veggie burgers. All very flavorable. We also had sauted spinach and onions.
(5)Mrs. Queen S.
Yours Truly is a signature restaurant in the Cleveland area. The notso fries are THE BEST! The inside is decorated like a diner and aside from having a main entrance and a side one that is a bit unorganized, this place is great!
(5)Chris C.
Enjoyable atmosphere right on the canal. The old style diner feel is great. Very affordable and the omlets are great.
(5)Jen M.
DIRTY. The silverware was caked with dried food. One of our glasses of wine arrived with pithy fruit residue on the side of the glass and lipstick already on the glass! The server said the glass must have been intended for a mimosa?! Floors were sticky in some spots, greasy in others. My chicken was rubbery and undercooked in certain spots. Officially done with this place. It's filthy and the food is sub-par. The Board of Health needs to shut this place down.
(1)Dave J.
Stopped here this afternoon while on a towpath bike ride. They were very busy. We asked for an outdoor table and the hostess/waitress saw that a table was just vacated so she went over herself and quickly cleaned it for us. She was very accommodating about an allergy issue and was just great throughout. For the most part we really enjoyed our food; I just didn't care for the wafer fries too much. It is a casual diner-type atmosphere.
(5)Jo S.
We were staying in Independence and looking for something local, cheap and with lots of options. This place definitely did the trick. This was actually my second time here and both have been super good. We weren't super hungry so we got the soup and sandwich/soup and salad option and it was the perfect size. I had the chicken noodle soup, which tasted like home. I also upped my salad and went with a cesar. I wasn't a huge fan of the amount of pink peppercorns, but it was good nonetheless and much larger than expected. At our table we also had the chicken salad sandwich, which was very fresh with apples and grapes. We also had their version of loaded fries which were really good! I like the flat shape of the potatoes and they sucked in the flavor really well. In addition to the food, the people here were great. You could tell it was a local-home-type place and I would definitely go back.
(4)Grant W.
We went for dinner tonight, and I think the word that sums it up best is BLAH. Two of us had the fish fry. Blah. Fish was almost devoid of flavor. The accompanying fries... blah. Again, tasted like nothing much. The cod dinner? Blah. Mild to the point of almost no taste, although the accompanying vegetables were good. People often talk of reasonable prices here, but we felt we paid way more than we should have for the food we got. The Notso Fries appetizer was good, but it's pretty hard to screw up a plate of fries covered with cheese and bacon. Service-wise, we had the kind of server that completely ignores the fact that anyone at your table is talking and just completely talks over you. That about sums it up.
(2)Sharon K.
Came here with a friend in March, Had the tuscan chicken, good diner food.
(3)Chris E.
Stopped by to have breakfast here on my visit to Cleveland and it's a nice diner/breakfast restaurant. The menu was diner-like, but it was a bit fancier than a diner. There are also a few TVs inside for those looking to catch their news or sports. It was a Sunday morning at 10am and for a party of 4 we waited for about 15 minutes, which wasn't all that bad. The restaurant was pretty big, with some counter seating and outdoor seating available as well. I took a look at the menu and it was extensive! There were tons of items on there and those menus are the ones that get me because I can stare at them FOREVER and not be able to make up my mind. I eventually settled on the Killit Skillet with a side of Corned Beef Hash. The Skillet came with two eggs (mine were sunny side up), bacon, sausage, golden hash browns and a toasted ciabatta. I couldn't complain about a thing on my order as everything was perfect. I especially loved the ciabatta as it was toasted with some butter on it. The side of Corned Beef Hash didn't look like the most appetizing side, but it was still good. The service was also excellent as our waitress was very accommodating with our requests during our visit. A solid breakfast choice if anyone is ever in the area.
(4)Matt S.
Nice place right off the towpath. Food wasn't out of this world, but it was good. They serve smoothies and your basic food items. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and coleslaw, both were good. They also have a nice patio you can eat out on. I'll continue to come here, more for the convenience of being right off the towpath, but again the food was solid.
(4)Piper J.
Awesome service, food came out fast and it was delicious. I would recommend you try it. And they serve breakfast all day.
(5)Roy W.
Great little place for a good breakfast!! The staff is friendly and always in a good mood. Orders are takin fast and the food is prepared quickly and it very good. The coffee is hot and you cant go wrong with the Four Buck Breakfast. Nice choice of omlettes to choose from. Always clean!!
(5)Lois O.
Met a friend for brunch last Saturday & was totally disappointed in not only the level of service but the quality and taste of the food. The omelette center was runny and uncooked and the extra side of "peppered bacon" greasy and under-cooked. The noise level was HIGH and a chaotic environment topped it off. I remember the first Yours Truly that opened in Shaker - now, that was service & good food! Rockside location needs quality control ...
(2)Megan T.
Friends frequently gather here as it's a good east vs. west location and convenient to everyone. I have always had the notso omelet. I'm not an omelet kinda girl but this one is delish! Service is always hit or miss. They also struggle to accommodate groups of more than maybe six.
(4)Bradley O.
Nice location on the tow path river there. Plenty seating and a big patio, clean bathrooms with 2 extra outside the entrance. The food was what was to be expected given the fair price. Pretty big menu with the options typical of a diner. I had a burger and a salad and it was cooked well, french dressing was really sweet. Service was pleasant, we were checked on often while things were quickly brought out. Will enjoy going to this location again.
(4)Sarah F.
The omelet s were fluffy, fresh ground coffee, friendly waitstaff & gluten free toast.
(5)Brennon O.
My burger was delicious. My entire family wanted it. This location was nice. The kids liked it. Our server was outstanding. Although we are visiting the area, we would consider eating here again when we return.
(5)Don F.
I was spending a couple days in the area and used YELP to help me hunt down breakfast spots. There are the usual Denny's and Bob Evans...but life's to short to go that route (if possible). Yours Truly was a short distance from the hotel, and on the Erie Canal towpath. The path is one of the reasons I was exploring the area, so I tried it out. I ended up eating here both mornings. Nice fast service, the food was fine (had to send back some burnt bacon, but the second attempt was really good) and a bright clean atmosphere. I'll eat here when visiting the Cuyahoga Valley National Park again.
(4)Breakfast Club K.
The service was very slow for breakfast. We were there for 1.5 hours. Breakfast should never take that long. The server was okay, she seemed to be flustered during the whole visit by our party of seven. We ordered water but did not get it until several minutes later and after she asked again what we wanted to drink. There was a mix-up with the food and people got the wrong things. One of the members of our party did not get her food until well after everyone had theirs and was eating. It also took a very long time for coffee refills. The service definitely took away from the experience. The following are individual reviews from each of the members: Because of the order mishap, my meal was compensated for by the restaurant which I thought was a good move, I didn't even have to ask for it. The food (when I did get it ) was nothing too special. I got the M & M omelet with a side of hash-browns, it was okay to say the most. All in all, I wouldn't return to Yours Truly for a Breakfast Club gathering, but as always, I did enjoy the company! Ordered the Sedona signature omelet, got the M & M signature omelet instead. The omelet itself was pretty good even though it looked dried out. I would order it again if I'm ever at another Yours Truly. The waitress wasn't good about refilling water as my water was empty the entire time. I had the medley which had eggs, cheese and bacon in a pita. I got my eggs over-easy which paired well with the crunchy pita and crunchy bacon. It was a really good choice for a lighter breakfast (not too heavy or greasy). I'd definitely order it again. The food was much better than the service but nothing you couldn't make at home. Sedona Omelet- cheese, ham, green pepper, and onion The omelet itself was good. It wasn't anything special, but it was better than your normal greasy spoon omelet. It had some fluffiness to it and there was plenty of ham, green pepper, cheese, and onion. The hash browns were nothing to get excited about and the portion size was small (which was probably a good thing). The coffee was actually not bad compared to regular diner coffee. The service was not very good at all. Our waitress was very nice, but not particularly attentive. If you plan on going to this place make sure you are not in a rush to get any where afterwards. I had the Palermo omelette, it looked like a burrito, but was decently good, but nothing to brag about.
(2)Carol K.
Yours truly? Sounds like I am signing off a letter to someone I really like. Well maybe that's perfect for this place as I really liked my breakfast visit the other day. We went on a sunny Fall Sunday. Given this restaurant is situated along the Erie Canal Tow Path, there were plenty of changing leaves and scenery to delight the eyes. The important thing to note is this restaurant sits at the back of a complex. Turn at the chocolate place in the gray building and wander to the back and you should find it just up from the parking lot. I was warmly greeted by the host who immediately found me a table in the diner section- a little odd as my booth felt like it was floating in the room but it was spacious and I knew the server couldn't miss us! Our server, Carina, was terrific! Always quick with a coffee refill and a quip, here is someone who loves mornings and seems to love taking care of people in her section as well. My friend had the "Killer Skillet" (looked amazing with 2 eggs, hash browns, sausages, bacon and toast) and I had an omelet (they have several reciped ones but I went with my stand by which was quite tasty and served with some crispy bacon on the side. If you want fruit substituted for the potatoes or toast- it will cost you an extra dollar and I just didn't think the small cup of mixed fruit was worth it. Most places these days will sub it out for free. But the prices are reasonable with breakfast for two coming in around $25. But the food was good, the location convenient and the service spot on! And given this was a Sunday morning- I expected a wait and yet there was none. Score! I always love it when a plan comes together!
(4)Don V.
This would actually be a 2.5 stars from me - but the rest of my party had no issues. Pro: Nice place in a decent location. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Neutral: Not great for larger parties. Don't accept reservations, but will take "phone ahead requests" - whatever that means. We had a party of 8, and I'm guessing on a normal busy morning we'd have been split between 2 booths - as it happens, a similar party was just finishing up as we arrived. We got a corner booth and they added a couple of 2-tops right in line, seating us all just fine. Cons: While most everyone had a decent meal - mine was a disaster. I ordered the corned beef hash - as did another in my party. My feeling is that they did not realize there were TWO identical orders for hash - as my food arrived many minutes after everyone elses. That was not a huge deal - what WAS a huge deal is that it was essentially raw. Cold and the potatoes in it were crunchy. Further - the description on the menu lead me to believe it was "home-made" hash - what it actually was was Dinty Moore from a can - the typical fare of $1.99 breakfast greasy spoons. HOWEVER - when I told our server that it was uncooked - WITHOUT HESITATION she said it would come off the bill. Others in my party got the "eggs bruschetta" and that looked awesome (and was well received by the 3 that had it). Another in our party had a monte cristo with sweet potato fries, and that looked excellent as well. Prices aren't outrageous, the coffee is decent. Just don't order the hash. The friendly staff is the saving grace at this place. I'd give it another go based on that alone.
(3)Liz B.
Sunday breakfast before the game and it was a pleasant experience. The food was quality and served hot. I had the sunrise breakfast which was good. The atmosphere family friendly. Definitely recommend and will visit again.
(3)Valerie R.
Love this place it's food is always fantastic. Great breakfast and lunch. The kill it skillet is delicious, so are the waffles. They have real malts served with tin cup. Sweet potato fries and sliders are wonderful too. Excellent atmosphere inside like 50's diner, and outside patio by the tow path is beautiful.
(5)Tosha T.
I love this place. The food is fantastic with great variety. The people that work there are extremely friendly. I love the culture of family there. I visit this location at least once a week. Its a must visit!
(5)Christine H.
On my way back from Omaha to my home state of Massachusetts (the land of Massholes and middle fingers a-plenty) we looked on Yelp for the perfect breakfast place, and lo': we found it here at Yours Truly. The menu was extensive and we both ordered omelettes. They were fluffy and filling and they certainly didn't skip on the ingredients. I liked that we could substitute home fries or toast for a fruit cup or grapefruit. Our hostess was very friendly and seemed happy to accommodate our request for tea. Our server was good enough but perhaps she had been there too long as she just didn't seem to have as much spring in her step as the hostess. One of the owners was there to help seat people and help out with checking on our food, which is great to see! If I ever stop by a Yours Truly again and it is just as nice, then five stars it will be! For the price you're paying, the food seemed good and you have a lot of choices. I also really liked the atmosphere as well; cozy and Christmas-y without being in your face.
(4)Gerred T.
The setting at this yours truly is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and create a great energy. The veggie omelet is delicious and cottage fries are a great side with the omelet. We had a quick fresh breakfast this morning and enjoyed a hot coffee with cinnamon. Always a go to for breakfast or lunch. The sante fe omelet is really good as well.
(5)P W.
Yours Truly or Mine Falsely? Everything in this universe is impregnated with its opposite. Take Tom Petty's classic song "Into the Great Wide Open". The opposite would be "Out of the Bad Narrow Enclosure" which basically means the same thing. The breakfast is good. The service is also. I love the tile floors and the old fashioned feeling I get when I am there. The restaurant is right next to the Tow Path and there is some nice nature to observe. I always go for the Sun Burst or something like that. It is 4 or 5 dollars and comes with 2 eggs, fruit salad and a slice of toast.
(4)Brian M.
The food here is really good. I don't know why, but I love diner food. I was up here yesterday and ordered the Palermo, but instead I got some omelette with mushrooms and tomatoes. I was so hungry, I didn't even bother saying anything and ate it anyways. I got hash browns and a side of rye toast with it. It absolutely hit the spot. The hash browns weren't as greasy and salty and I like them, but my cardiovascular system is thankful for that. We sat at the counter and our server was attentive and nice. I was here back in May of last year, and it was a great experience too. They also sell beer and wine. I will be back.
(4)Charlie H.
I love this place. The food is delicious! I highly recommend the Teri Tosser salad. The outdoor patio is a nice touch. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, which is important to me. I've been here at least half a dozen times, and have never had a problem with the service. I think the pricing is fair. The only thing keeping me from giving this place five stars is the wait time. Sometimes it takes a little longer than I would expect from a restaurant like this. I will definitely continue to eat here.
(4)Allan T.
Went here for breakfast today. Fast, friendly service, reasonable prices, good breakfast.
(4)Larry E.
Love this place! it's my "go-to" restaurant. This YT location is right on the border of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Their food is outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. Try the Eggs Bruschetta or Gorgeous Omelet for breakfast... you wont be disappointed.
(5)Jim W.
Great breakfast alternative for those staying at the hotels off Rockside at I-77. Lots of windows overlooking old Ohio & Erie Canal. Terrific omelet with Gorgonzola cheese and Canadian bacon. Cottage fries are a rare find anymore. Waitress was a little Scotch with the coffee. Just a great place to start the day-- you'll know it when you walk in the door.
(4)Stephen C.
I really wanted like this place because a dear friend is a server there. On an early Sunday evening about five tables were occupied. Two of us, it took fully ten minutes until our presence was acknowledged. No eye contact, no anything. And then, only because I asked the manager if we should seat ourselves. Then another seven or eight minutes to get our table. I asked the manager if my friend was working and received a surly "no". After that, our server was prompt and friendly. I ordered the turkey ruebin sandwich and my wife ordered a Greek omelet made with one whole egg and two egg whites, gluten free toast. Our food came in good time. It was tasty. However the toast was not buttered and no butter was served on the side or available on the table. Also, the Greek omelet was missing the olives! Our server stopped by occasionally to refill waters but never once asked how was our food. The strangest thing of all, my wife's table knife was strongly magnetized. Every time she picked it up, it would drag along her spoon or fork! I found out later, my friend was in ER with severe dehydration. I'm glad she's better today.
(3)AC F.
Usually good burger kind of place. Today our server stinks & our app that came with our dinner was burned. The hair in my ranch dressing was an especially nice touch. The only saving grace was that Damon the manager was very apologetic and nice. He's the only reason I would return.

I was visiting some relatives in town and they took me to this restaurant Yours Truly. The atmosphere was real nice, very family oriented. Their hummus was very good (surprisingly) and their fries were real good too. I like to dip the fries in the hummus =) All the food was pretty good and well priced. And our waitress was really nice which made the experience that much better. I would definitely come back.

Valley View location is as sleepy as the Chagrin Road store is bustling. Generally a good place, but had a bad customer service experience with them this week. They refused to honor a Groupon for the amount I paid for it contrary to the fine print on their own Groupon offer which could not be more clear. The manager was polite, but brought another employee with him as if I was going to cause a problem. Kinda weird over-reaction for merely calling them out on the inconsistency. I left feeling like a cheap jerk and doubt I'll be back. Update 4/6/2012: Groupon wrote me back apologizing for the situation and refunded the $7 I spend on the ill-fated Groupon I bought for Yours Truly. Still no response from Yours Truly to an email I sent to them on the same day I contacted Groupon.

Went to Yours truly for dinner before a movie around the corner with a few friends. I thought the decor inside was so cute. A modern day diner- just a little cleaner :) The service was great.. The waitress knew we were trying to make a movie and since everyone came after work, we all arrived a bit late after being stuck in rush hour- cutting into the time we gave ourselves for eating. But she was great- she made sure she expedited our order and was attentive, friendly, and provided fast service! The food was also great! We all shared the Lotso Notso fries- they're basically little potato homefries smothered in cheese- what's not to like about it?? I LOVE breakfast for dinner, so I was glad I had the option of that along with a HUGE menu of regular food items. I got the Killit Skillet without the bacon or sausage and it was delicious! The food is reasonably priced as well! I know I'll be returning to YT for dinner and probably a few hungover breakfasts! (I'll probably try another location closer to home - hope they live up to this location)!

It doesn't get better than this place for comfort food or the best omelet your money can buy in NEO. Friendly service always, and I love the family atmosphere.

I have to agree with the earlier review. The service wasn't awesome and the food isn't spectacular. It is about what you would expect from a diner-type atmosphere. I know Yours Truly has a special place in a lot of hearts out there, but it is just usually ok in my book. I have had better diner food elsewhere.

I hadn't been to a Yours Truly in a while when I visited this location recently, and was greeted with a friendly diner atmosphere. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu, which covered several different kinds of foods, though few of them were particularly healthy options. I settled for traditional pancakes, which were good. The food came very quickly, and I was out of there in no time.
