City Diner

This place is your standard American diner with decent food at a decent price. It has the feel of a nursing-​home cafeteria, just because of the majority of the clientele in that area. My biggest downside as a vegetarian is that I have literally two menu options: spaghetti (not the meat sauce please, and no meatballs), or standard breakfast-​fare (eggs, pancakes, can I switch the bacon for a different side). My fiancé enjoys their burgers and other meat-​dishes. Overall, we come here if we’re too lazy to cook and the pizza shops aren’t open yet. Note that they close ridiculously early (like 6 or 7pm), so even though they «serve dinner,» it’s more intended for your grandparents who dine at 4pm so they can hit the hay by 7.

I had low expectations when I arrived but this place truly impressed me!
I had the Italian sausage with marinara sauce and the cheesy fries as a starter. Both were incredibly delicious.
I would have given them ⁵⁄₅ but the soda (diet coke) was terrible :(

This place is delicious! My boyfriend lives nearby and has never been so we decided to check it out. The omelets and waffles were delicious. The portions are large and filling. I highly recommend City Diner for a quick, inexpensive, and tasty breakfast/​brunch.

Stopped in today for the first time. Had a terrific breakfast along with great, friendly service. Will be back!

We recently moved west from Lakewood, and we were looking for somewhere for a good Sunday breakfast. We came across this on Unilocal,and we were not disappointed. Good portions and good food. The wait staff couldn’t be more pleasant and the customers were down to earth.

Very low quality breakfast. Not sure how this place averages so many stars. I would rather make this breakfast in like 10 minutes at home.

Excellent food at a great price. We had a wonderful lunch on our trip through North Ridgeville. Jessica was incredible to all of us, but especially made our children feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Very nice place very clean great service I have a hamburger with fries my wife had the meatloaf both were very good. very well seasoned. will definitely come back again

My family eats at City Diner 2 – 3 times a month. I would say that it has more of a neighborhood family restaurant feel to it than a diner, as its name would suggest.
The food is above average and the portions are generous. Prices are reasonable and they have specials that are usually a very good value. They have had a $ 9.99 steak special that is a great deal. The steak was somewhat under-​seasoned but not bad considering that I don’t think that I could have made one at home for that price.
The service has always been good. The servers are friendly. Food comes out of the kitchen very quickly. Usually this would cause alarm for me because it makes me think that everything is precooked and that they just reheat it when you order, but somehow they pull it off. Breakfast is especially fast (as it should be). I once ordered breakfast and then went to the restroom to wash my hands. When I returned to my table, my food was already sitting there!
The whole restaurant is clean including the restrooms. I have seen several employees cleaning various areas of the restaurant when they were not busy.

Just passing thru on long road trip. Food was delicious! Service quick and friendly. Prices excellent. Definitely a good place to stop

Six of us had breakfast here on Memorial Day. Pancakes, sausages, omelettes, and coffee.
When one of our party requested an egg white omelette, the waitress came back from the kitchen and said they couldn’t do an egg white omelette because of the holiday. (?)
When we objected, she went back and then said they would accommodate our request.
One of us found the pancakes «chewy,» but my fried eggs and hashbrowns were just as you would expect.
When my three year old asked for a pancake with a face, the waitress brought back a pancake with a whipped cream smiley face.
Just your average neighborhood diner I guess, which is just what we were looking for!

My husband and kids and I go here often. The food is great, we’ve never gotten anything we didn’t like. Especially their fish and chips dinner, doesn’t have a fishy taste and is delicious. Must try their perogies!
The diner itself is a bit old and tore up, and service is give or take depending on your server. But the prices are great and the food is delicious so that’s what’s really important. We recommend them often and I only give 4 stars because some of the servers are less than pleasant.

Very nice diner /​family restaurant, with a decent variety of no-​nonsense tasty grub that is served hot and quickly, and is much less expensive than the ripoff national chains. The service staff is friendly and efficient to boot. I learned a long time ago that you can always rely on locally run diners for affordable, quality food with good portions to satisfy the belly!

I like this place, a friendly neighborhood restaurant, not pretentious, good food, good prices, not crowded. Been here for lunch many times: make sure to check the specials. The style is American food, the wait staff is friendly, and it has music playing, but quiet enough to talk.
Not a «destination» restaurant for impressing your date, but a good place to have lunch with friends

Hidden Gem of N Ridgeville. Very clean and good food. Good staff. And decent bar. This place should do more biz then it gets. Had the country fried steak and eggs for Sunday breakfast. Best breakfast in town. Good prices.
