Shore Restaurant

Absolutely one of my favorite breakfast spots! The food is great and always cooked very well, but what makes it best is the family who owns it. They are incredibly nice, always welcoming, remember you even if you just came in once, they interact with you and make you feel like family instantly! There is nothing bad I have to say about this place, except that you might have to wait for a seat since it’s usually always busy :)

Breaking my (unintentional) Unilocal hiatus to review some great spots. First on the list is Shore restaurant. Friendly service and the food tastes great. Portions are enormous! Good coffee too.

Nice vintage diner. Food was great and came out really quick! Just above what I’d consider broke-​college-​student friendly in terms of price. They don’t accept credit cards though.

Their breakfast is basically perfect. Great portions, great prices, food was awesome — just honest and delicious, service was fantastic! Very relaxed atmosphere too. If you’re starting your day off with breakfast here, it’s probably going to be a great day!

Strong coffee, hot food, cheap prices. The perfect spot for the morning after a night out. Lakewood at it’s finest.

We stopped in for lunch food is outstanding
Nice family run business. We all had lunch. Food came out hot and lots of it. Be sure to check their special breakfast menu.
We will be back.
Also love to see a place that is family owned. Clean restrooms. Great food you get 5 stars.

First time here and loved! Food was great and the staff were wonderful. It’s almost a secret gem hidden in Lakewood. I will definitely come here again.

I have a hard time telling people about this place. Not because it isn’t freaking wonderful, but because they don’t have a lot of seats & I don’t want it to get so popular that I have to wait forever to get my delicious food!
Tina and the rest of the family really make the Shore something special. I mean, the food is some of the best diner food you’ll find in Cleveland, but there’s something about a family all working together, you know? They remember faces, and are always making sure you’re taken care of.
Everything that I’ve had from there has been exactly what I hoped it would be, but there is a special place in my heart for their tuna salad sandwich. I know, right? Tuna salad. Who even cares about tuna salad? But it is my favorite sandwich in Cleveland. Try it, even if you don’t typically go for that sort of thing. I don’t, either, with this one exception.
They have pretty typical diner hours — only open until mid-​afternoon, and it is cash only. But it’s worth a trip to the ATM. Just… let’s not tell TOO many people about it, okay? It’ll be our secret place.

Great family owned diner! I got the Greek omelet — it was priced well for the amount of food and quality. Very friendly service and food came out quickly. Will definitely return! Cash only but they have an ATM if needed.

Good food but the service was not on point! The two egg and French toast with hash brown deal is good to go!

Your textbook Mom and Pop diner. Dad runs the kitchen while the Mom and two sons do everything else on the floor. Very genuine and kind people, I have been going there now for about 5 years.
Amazing food at an amazing price.
If you live in the area do yourself a favor and try them at least once.
Only downside is that it’s cash only, but 20 $ is more than enough for breakfast/​lunch for two so you can’t complain.

The service here is wonderful, nice local family owned business that’s been around for 30yrs. This is the second time I’ve eaten here. The first time the food was pretty good for the price. I had coffee and 2 eggs which came with home fries and toast all under $ 5. I went back today since my first experience was pretty good and ordered the egg sandwich. I got it on an English muffin with sausage and cheddar cheese and it also came with home fries. It was a pretty big sandwich, and I was only able to eat half (which is great). It was also under $ 5 (also great). My only complaint wld have to b the sausage (not a fan). I assumed it was going to b a patty, but it was links chopped up into 1″ chunks. They didn’t stay on the sandwich and just rolled out, and also wasn’t very tasty. So if ur tight on cash and want a decent breakfast this is a great place to go (just beware the sausage).

While looking to try some new spots, I came across Shore Restaurant. Perfect breakfast for the unbelievable perfect price. My mom and I went in and sat at the bar. Most of the tables were taken and we knew we wanted to be fast so this was most logical. So much fun chatting with the family that owns this breakfast joint. Bring cash and come hungry. The veggie omelet and scrambled eggs and toast with a side of hash browns were perfect for the both of us. Enjoy! We will be back!

They have the best sausage in town! Also the weekly specials are cheep and awesome.(Cash only here, btw)

First thing… CASH ONLY!!! I was impressed by how clean and neat this little hidden diner gem is. Came for Sunday brunch and the majority of tables were filled. The coffee was fresh and piping hot. I had the french toast and eggs, which was delicious. Boy had the corned beef omelet and wasn’t that impressed. Said it was blan and didn’t have taste. They load your plate with fresh potatoes which i thought were pretty good, could use some onions in them but def were fresh and not «store» bought. The service was very friendly and on top of things.

This is hands down my favorite breakfast spot. The portions and prices are great. The service is phenomenal and that’s what keeps me coming back. I have yet to find a place where the staff is so friendly and make you feel that welcome. I only wish I lived closer so I could go more often.

One of my favorite spots for breakfast in Lakewood. The prices and portions are good, the food is good, and the service is great. This place is small and only takes cash so keep that in mind.

We loved this place! The small town atmosphere — the family owned and operated vibe and our food was great. They seem to work really hard to make everyone feel welcome. The sons keep the conversation going with the customers and try to get to know their clients. That is not very common now a days.
BUT although we checked Unilocal for Star Ratings before we visited here, we missed the part about them only taking CASH! Sooooo… there we were with our credit card and holy Moses we were stuck! But I told the Mom I would stay as her hostage till my husband ran to get money! She was so good natured about it! She told me stories while I waited! I also noted that they cleaned all the salt and pepper shakers and other condiment holders in hot water… very nice!
I had the Gyro (yes I pronounced it wrong, but the son that was waiting on us said he would forgive me.!), my husband got the Greek Omelet and both were great!
We will def go back and def bring money!

Have not been here since I was 18, super pumped when I realized it was still open and under the same great ownership! THis was my go-​to a decade ago and just may re-​acquire the throne for places to eat breakfast.
Coffees not the best, not the worst and the food is pretty much what you ask for and expect. There is no mind blowing menu that you will catch yourself staring blindly at for 20 minutes trying to decide what to order. It is a self– sustaining business that survives on a good customer base and supreme clientele, just like GFK. It is family owned and operated and that has a presence throughout the place. It is one of those places you almost have the feel you can talk to anyone in the place comfortably.
Like I said, it has a lot of sentimental value behind it for me and great memories «of the highest grade!» :)

The Shore is a great place to grab breakfast. This is a classic little Lakewood restaurant and is similar to the Place to Be but a couple miles east. They only take cash so be sure to bring a few dollars. One can easily eat for under $ 10 with tip included. The staff could not be any friendlier and seem to have developed close knit bonds with the customers. People wait in lines for Borderline, Lucky’s, Grumpy’s, South Side, Petite Triangle, Flap Jacks and all of the other cool brunch spots. If you come to the Shore, you can eat some delicious food and hang out with cool people.
