What People Say
Ordered for the first time, can confirm it's the best breakfast in Cleveland! The value is insane, the biscuits are delicious, the apple turnover is balanced and fresh.
Tori ClarkThe Chef is a staple in Cleveland, and for good reason! The friendly staff make you feel like family and the food is great! The handpies are to die for. My personal breakfast favorite is the chicken biscuits and gravy. If you like hot slaw this is the place to grab some of that too!
Erica SmithAwesome to be still in business. I drove 50 minutes to try out. Food tasted great, prices were modest to comparative businesses, and employees were super nice. Will be a consistent stop for me when looking for a road trip.
Hal BergeronThe food is really good, they are quick on preparing the food, they make the best egg, bacon, tomato and lettuce sandwich. It's very affordable.
Eric MartinOMG the homemade fried apple pies are the bomb diggity, think of Country Grandma! The Chef is a chill, laid-back quaint little place that offers diner style eats. The service is great. You are met with smiling faces greeting you as you walk in.
Susanne DensonNever a poor experience at The Chef. Polite, prompt and delightful service. With that comes the delicious food that will keep you coming back for more.
