We were seated soon after entering, nice atmosphere, my mother recommended this restaurant, for her birthday dinner, immediately after being seated, by the hostess, very polite gentleman approached us, asking what we would wanted to drink, after bringing our drinks, he began explaining the soups of the day, his name was Rich, and he made the experience that much more enjoyable, a professional for sure. My mom ordered the Clam Chowder, Cole Slaw, Walleye fish dinner, I ordered the Chicken Soup, Small Tossed Salad, and the Latkes meal, it all come hot, and well flavored, my mother mentioned her fish being cooked nicely, with a nice outer crunch, the Bleu Cheese on my salad was flavorful, as well as the salad, the soup was delicious, added a little pepper, my Latkes meal, the Corned Beef was tasty, the Potatoe Pancakes, were cooked well, tasted nice, a very enjoyable meal I have to say, the serving size were large enough to fill me up, I can't wait to visit again, when I come up. I hope to have Rich serving me again, before we left, we had to stop at the pastries counter, soooooo much to choose from, my mother ordered the Strawberry Peach Cake, and me well, I ordered two, pieces, the Carrot Cake, and because I was thinking about my late father ordered the Caramel Cake as well, the young ladies working the counter was very welcoming, and professional as well, it will a evening not to forget. A big thanks to the cooks as well.the food was excellent.

I learned of this place from a Facebook page and decided that the next time I was at the Cleveland Clinic, I'd stop on my way home. My friend and I were starving when we arrived and the menu had a ton of choices. My friend already knew that she wanted a burger, she just had to decide which one. I wanted something home cooked that I wouldn't make for myself and the special was beef stroganoff, a favorite, but not something you cook for one person. Our waiter, Michael, was outstanding and doing double duty as the bartender. His personality was perfect for either position. You could tell he loved his job and had probably been an employee for years. The beef stroganoff arrived in a huge bowl, enough for 3 servings. It was some of the best that I've had in a while. The salad was your standard side and nothing special. I was disappointed that there was no type of bread served either before or with the meal. My friend's burger was cooked correctly and had the standard fixings of lettuce, tomato, onion. We didn't have dessert with our meal but bought a slice of Italian lemon cake and a slice of strawberry cheesecake to bring home. Both desserts were huge; the slices could easily feed two people. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good food in a laid back inviting atmosphere.

Absolutely awful service. Sat there for an hour before our food came out. The waitress kept saying that it’s because corned beef hash takes a while to cook. Yeah, sure, if it was real corned beef. But it was canned corned beef, and that hash takes 8 minutes to cook. Not an hour. And when it finally came out, it tasted like garbage. I ended up not eating any of the food I waited an hour for. The wait staff acted like we were an inconvenience to them for being there. The waitress could tell we were unhappy, that’s why she kept coming back to give another reason why it was taking so long. Even knowing how long everything took, and how unhappy we were, she still charged full price, and patronizingly told me to come back again. As you can see in the picture, nothing on my plate should have taken more than ten or so minutes at most. And it’s not because they were busy, there were only a handful of tables, and several who came in after us, had food before us.

My Friends is a cool local diner. Kinda dated, but having it open 24/7 is awesome. Food is pretty good; big sizes. Depending on when you go, you can get great service or horrible servicem. If you go late at night/ early morning (1-3 am) the service is not so great. Tonight we had decent service. Our waitress was very kind and gave great suggestions. I don't have a huge sweet tooth so I have not had many of their cakes, but they all look delicious. I've heard good things! Be careful of refills. They will charge you a whole nother drink price for a refill and extra lemons. That sucks. I'm not paying while 2 bucks for a teabag-- just get a refill of hot water. I will come back. Overall a great experience and I would recommend this place to those looking for good food at a late hour whether you are sober or drunk.

The food there was surprisingly really. But I really appreciated the waitress the most.She was triple, sat with a lot of people, and she did a great job.
