Mom's Deli & Grille — Restaurant in North Royalton

On the road from PA to IL we found Mom’s Deli and Grille based on Google Reviews. We stopped in for an early lunch / brunch and were quite satisfied. While it sits right near I80 it’s a bit of a detour to get there so plan ahead and have it on your mapping software at least 30 mins before you want to arrive.

NOW ABOUT THE FOOD…. Really good and basic (just what we wanted on a road trip). I had a breakfast sandwich with Swiss Cheese and bacon. My guy got a corned beef sandwich on rye. Service was very friendly and vibe was quite local (probably because it is not just off I80).

I specifically asked about the paper plates and styrofoam cups based on another Google Review… it started with Covid and since they haven’t been able to hire a dishwasher they have kept it up. They did go back to regular flatware and are considering moving away from the styrofoam cups to a more environmentally friendly option once they run down their supply.

Give this local mom and pop spot a break and...

Walked in on a Saturday monad could not believe it was not busy. Then we found out why. You must order at the front counter. You can sit at a table, but get up to place the order. Coffee is served in styrofoam cups. Creamers have to be stabbed to open them. Our meals (corned beef hash, 2 egg special, and a cheese omelette) were all served on styrofoam plates with plastic ware for utensils. The condiments were served in a paper container. They included: exactly 3 napkins, 3 forks, 3 knives, 3 small containers of ketchup and 3 jelly for our toast. Toast was wrapped in paper. One of our party ordered applesauce instead of potatoes. They did not have spoons. It was my birthday and I thought we would enjoy a lovely meal as we had in the past. I was sorely mistaken. I cannot in good conscience recommend this “restaurant “. If I had wanted my food in plastic and paper, I would have gone to McDonalds, paid about a third of what I did and...

From the reviews, it seems at some place they were a real restaurant with plates and cups but apparently no longer. Everything is served in styro or plastic. I cannot imagine the massive waste this makes every day. Coffee was very watery and not good. Breakfast was a “skillet” meal but served in a plastic tray. It’s not a skillet meal unless you serve in in a skillet to me. Service was prompt and kind but others were heard asking about all the plastic and styrofoam and a waitress was saying well then we would have to pay a dishwasher. So who is washing the silverware and pots and pans? I found the disposable materials very off putting and odd. Like eating takeout but in the restaurant....
