L.A. Pete's — Restaurant in Independence

This place is a HELL NO. When you wall in and see the signs 1 check for parties over 6 and you'll be seated when all of your parties here you can bet things just aren't going to go well. Our butts never hut the charge and the waitress is demanding a drink order mind you we've never been here before , the others in the party quickly put a drink order in without reading the menu . I just needed a few minutes upon returning with there drinks she immediately wanted to take a breakfast order totally ignoring i had no drink . So I ordered a coffee that she went to get which gave us a few minutes to decide our orders . We ask to split the check and it was I guess so but I'm going to get into trouble . I get you get to make your own rules but to save a piece of paper is just stupid . Plates were brought to the table that a 3 yr old stated were dirty with food and again attitude from the waitress . So the plates were taken by a customer to I'm guessing the manager so that we could get clean ones . The waitress brought the plates back followed by the manager guaranteeing the they go through a dishwasher and are cleaned with several chemicals and that nothing on the plate will hurt you . ARE YOU SERIOUS ..... a justification of dirty food on a plate . I think Ive said enough we will not recommend or ever be back...

I was in town a few days staying less than a mile away from L.A. Pete’s but did not know this unfortunately. After a morning of terrible breakfast at the hotel and another breakfast chain restaurant the next morning, I googled and found L.A. Pete’s. I’m so upset I didn’t do this the evening I arrived. Also received some less than cordial service around the Independence/Cleveland area as well. Everyone here was so kind and welcoming. I could hear the other employees interacting with other customers and it was the same. On to the food! French toast with blueberries! The best ever! I mean come on!! Presentation beautiful as well. I also had a an omelette - kinda like a meat lovers omelette which was excellent! Hashbrowns excellent! Wait! I was surprised at how good even the toast was! Everything was seasoned well. I was traveling up from the Cincinnati area to Cleveland for work and probably will never be back in the area unfortunately …. But if I ever do come to the area again I’ll be stopping by L.A. Pete’s!! Thanks for the great...

Locally owned breakfast place that's a nice change of pace from the corporate chain restaurants. They have a broad menu of omelets, egg dishes, combination platters, and pancake/waffle items. Prices are reasonable. They are popular and they get busy, but everyone works hard to get people seated and served. Be patient and remember the waits are just as long at Bob Evans and Denny's. This place has been through several incarnations as a restaurant since it was built, so a few things are a little funky or seem like add-ons, but overall it works. They also have some rules about seating and large parties, based on long experience. L.A. Pete's (which used to be called LaPetite until they ran into some trademark problems) was a favorite restaurant of my late brother, and we always came here when I visited Cleveland. He's been gone for 15 years and this was my first time back there since his passing. It is exactly as I remembered, and maybe even...
