I really love finding places like this. One of those hole-in-the-wall, locally owned restaurants that may not be much to look at but have seriously awesome food.
In a somewhat strange location on Lakewood Hts Blvd, Ferris kind of looks more like an auto body shop than a restaurant. Kind of grungy, with an obnoxious striped awning. Go inside and there's funky old maroon carpet and booths and bright kelly green and yellow paint on the walls. The ambiance is well... you get the idea.
But the food... that's where Ferris shines.
The menu consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner and nothing is over $10. You'll find your basics like burgers and wraps, but you will also find Mediterranean selections like Falafel and Shish Tawook. I definitely want to check out the fried chicken (4 pcs plus sides for $8.99!), I bet it's good.
I opted for the bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich. It was huge and the croissant was nice and fluffy and real. Not like those fake bread-like impostors. Basic and good. I wasn't really hungry, otherwise I would have gotten a monster omelet like my companions. It looked great.
While you won't want to go to Ferris for interior decorating tips, you will definitely want to go for the great food.
