OK. I'll admit it. Although a born-and-bred Clevelander (with multiple years away in other major metros), I only went to Nate's within the last year. Yes ....year.
It always looked like a trashy dump and dirty as a deed done dirt cheap.
A new work colleague suggested it last year for lunch and my eyebrows shot up with a "No way" message like two Wooly Bears tusslin' on a tree branch in October.
OK, so I went. And, damn, it was GOOD.
I love the waitresses ...I love the old school Cleveland crowd. And, yeah, the food is great.
My faves? The shwarma/hummus plate. Share a fattoush. And, if Im starving? Add two falafel.
Waddle out the door shortly thereafter.
After paying cash. 'Natch.
