We tried Borderline for breakfast this morning and the food was great, we loved the french toast, and the chorizo burrito. However, we had no idea that a line forms outside and that’s how you wait to get into the restaurant. We walked in hoping to put our name down and they said they do not take names, just to wait in the line outside and they will seat us. Many other people thought the same as us and while we were eating, came in hoping to put their name in. A few times the staff seemed to get upset with the people walking in and were actually rude to the customers. There are no signs anywhere saying to wait outside, I feel like they need a better system so that the staff doesn’t get so flustered and so the customers aren’t confused. Definitely need to get a sign saying to...

I ordered an omelet from there this morning. They 1st told me it would be about an hour 1/2 wait which I was fine with. My friend Auggie plays guitar and sings on Saturday and Sunday morning. I was watching his performance online and at 1 point he said it's going to be more like an hour. They are a cash only business so I had to stop and get some money out of the bank since I exclusively use my debit card. Whent over picked up my breakfast said Hi to Augie, talked to him for a while about how weird all of this strangeness is with the virus and everything. Came home had my omelet it was really good. I'm saving some for later they give you so much. Great hash browns. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. I couldn't recommend the...

Thank you for letting us know why your family owned business has been around for over 30 years.

From the moment we walked into the Borderline Cafe; we immediately felt the warmest of welcome extended to each and every customer walking through the door from Rae and Joe.

We loved the “Hi Friends” and other pleasantries extended as guests entered. ❤️

The service was with a smile and the food made with love. Our breakfast tasted just as the service. Everything we ordered was delicious and coffee was hot and refilled before my cup was empty.

If you are ever in the Cleveland area, beeline it to Borderline. They will help you start your...

Outstanding breakfast!! Had a very hometown diner kind of feel. Many of the staff and customers had relationships and as a first timer, we were treated with A+ service and felt right at home. Then there was the food! Our meals were DELICIOUS!! And everything going by us has us wanting to go back tomorrow. This is definitely going to be a new fav spot, and lucky for us it’s right down the road. Excellent everything! If you’re reading this, just go there and I promise you’ll be happy you did!
