I love little mom and pop places that are out of the way, and this one was a nice surprise.
My wife and I found some info online and stopped off here during a shopping trip; it was worth it. Their menu is one of the most eclectic combos of Midwestern family fare I've seen. Pot Roast was one item that had been used as a base for a whole host of tasty treats like their American Egg Rolls which were filled with said wonderful roast, and were getting rave reviews from the clientele. I got a chicken schnitzel that was just wonderful. It came with a light spaetzle in a garlic sauce that was just delightful. Patty got a battered fish plate that was really great, along with hand cut fries. All of it was tasty and fresh.
Our waitress was really friendly and we asked about their traffic during the week; I guess they get busy on weekends and recently on Fridays for their fish fries. The place looks quite deceptive; from the outside, very small, although it woudl easily accommodate quite a few folks. My wife described the place as "comfy"; I have to agree. It reminded me of a lot of little diners that are gems amidst all the commercial eateries that you see these days, the ones that you go to for a nice place to take family and friends.
They also have a host of pies and desserts, home made, and quite delicious, and they told me that they have a whole separate menu for breakfast fare that sounded really great.
So, if you're out in Mentor, check out this little establishment, but don't blink, cause you might miss it; believe me, you don't want to, cause it's a tasty treat. :)
