| - This place is just, wrong. i.e., gone downhill, gross. we stopped in here 3 weeks ago I think for the first time in 10 years, perhaps on nostalgia. Back then yes, it tasted great, like good "morning after" a big night out, lazy Sunday brunch and good deal place to go. Now, either we've grown more sophisticated in our choices for what to eat, or the plethora of great restaurants to get fresh, quality food in CLE has skyrocketed. It's the 2nd part of the equation here.
Can't say it's a typical diner, greasy food experience as any restaurant can serve greasy food if cooked unproperly. With George's, everything we ordered tasted like frozen cooked to order, nothing was fresh. Even their home fries tasted like what you can buy in a grocery store. Why wouldn't a restaurant make their own homefries? Sausage gravy - watery, nasty. Greek omelet the feta tasted like pellets, not real feta. Their "homemade soups, news for you - many restaurants soups are comprised of leftovers they're trying to use up. George's is no exception both with their "homemade" chicken noodle and chicken orzo. Both were heaping glops of a mess. There's a reason that soup, salad, 2 sides come with entres. Wow, what a deal right? No. Their dinner salad consisted of semi-brown iceberg lettuce, 1 cherry tomato and 2 slivers of cucumber that looked like they were halfway to becoming pickles :( !!.
There comes a time when diners will stop compromising food quality for supposed "value" and "big portions". The time has come and I don't think place's like George's will survive unless they adapt to the times.
