    I'd suggest Cap City Diner on Olentangy River Rd. One of my favorite places.

    I've probably been there about 10 times and it has been delicious every time. Romano crusted chicken is probably my favorite. It's a Cameron Mitchell restaurant so just a little pricey, but not too steep.

    your son's in college and his great grandmother is having lunch with the two of you? very cool at her age, for all of you--enjoy!

    Great selection, although IIRC they used to be closed on Sunday.

    I've been meaning to get down there and try Hot Chicken Takeover. I've been trying to get a hot chicken fix ever since I got back from Nashville last year. As much as Cleveland's food scene is talked up, I haven't found anything that compares yet.

    HCT is awesome! Noodlecat in CLE has hot chicken that's pretty damn good. Just not a place where you'd think to get hot chicken.

    HCT is great. I like Spaghetti Warehouse too tbh.

    My list would be:
    1) Cafe Istanbul (their lunch special is legit)
    2) HCT/North Market
    3) Cooper's Hawk (great food and wines)
    4) Cap City
    5) Mitchell's
    6) Blocks Bagels (if you wan a deli)
    7) Forno
    8) Mad Greek
    9) Sushi Ting
    10) Blue Ginger
    11) Refectory
    12) El Vaquero


    Any of those are great for lunch

    Thanks for the reference. I walk by Noodlecat all the time but its the last place I'd expect to find hot chicken (as you pointed out). I'll have to check it out.

    Brew Brothers at the Scioto Downs/El Dorado racino on US 23 south of I-270. Get the "burnt tips" appetizer, you won't regret it. Great menu selections.

    Try Local Roots, Liberty Tavern or Gallo's....both about in the center of old Powell (Powell Road and Liberty) and very good.

    Yes to all 3. Local Roots is great, on the expensive side, but great.

    Any of you been to hauferbraus in Grandview? Bunch of us went a couple Saturdays ago and it was awesome. Food was good, but it was the beer and atmosphere that did it for me. Had an absolute blast there and the women in there that night.. hot damn.

    Never to that one. But been to Cleveland Cincinnati.
  • Fab4Runner
    Also been to the Cleveland locale. Always a good time. It's perfect if you're seeing a show at Playhouse Square.

    Gone a few times. Always had a good time. Doesn't even come close to Schmidt's when it comes to german food, though.

    ...I agree with ohiobucks1, I've gone to Schmidt's and thought the food was very good and better than any other German restaurants that I've been to.
