| - If you've ever been to & loved a New Jersey-style diner - but hated that Jersey hospitality - then West Side Market is the place for you. It's got all the trapping of a Jersey diner, including plastic booths, a bar, Formica, local newspaper clippings all over the walls, a great but simple menu - but it's got a distinctly Midwestern vibe, with friendly servers & hometown pride.
Their menu is ample, & basically anything you get here will be delicious, given that much of the food comes from local vendors whose goods you can buy just next door in the attached West Side Market. I was a HUGE fan of their cornbread waffle, which I expected to be, well, just a waffle, but was in actuality the best, crispiest cornbread I've ever had, topped with piping-hot honey butter & real Ohio maple syrup. My boyfriend wants to branch out but can't seem to stop ordering their reuben sandwich.
The West Side Market doesn't look like much, but it's a Cleveland staple, & it's a perfect tourist spot for your in-town-for-the-weekend visitors. Show 'em what Cleveland's got!
