Angelo's Pizza

13715 Madison Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-221-0440

Italian

There are pizzas. And then there are Angelo’s pizzas: plump, fragrant works of art, from the thick provolone topping all the way down to the rich, yeasty crust. The chicken club is good, the veggie is great and the creamy, cheesy seafood pizza, topped with lobster cream, shrimp, crabmeat and fresh spinach, is the stuff of which our dreams are made. Salads, sandwiches, wings, a few pasta platters and a worthwhile beer list round out the menu at this good-looking spot.
Around the Corner

18616-20 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-521-4413

American

Lakewood’s last call before you hit Rocky River, Around the Corner boasts multiple rooms and patios filled with burger munchers, karaoke hounds, and music fans taking in danceable local rock, blues bands, and DJs.
Babushka's Kitchen

6531 Brecksville Rd., Independence Western Suburbs

216-447-9277

European/Mediterranean

An outpost of the Northfield Center original, this Polish soul kitchen serves big portions of well-prepared standards like cabbage rolls, fresh kielbasa, and roast pork. Don't let the paper placemats and counter service fool you: The hearty food is a tasty bargain. And certainly don't miss the jumbo pierogi, our pick for some of the best around.
Beachcliff Tavern

19245 Detroit Rd., Rocky River Western Suburbs

440-333-4686

American

This warm sports bar hosts live rock and blues when major games aren't commanding attention.
Bearden's

19985 Lake Rd., Rocky River Western Suburbs

440-331-7850

American

Since 1948, this casual diner has been a part of West-Side life: so long, most residents can't recall a time when it wasn't dishing up burgers, onion rings, and milkshakes. A recent closure gave management the time to renovate the entire space, resulting in a fresh, vintage-tinged design that neatly fits with the retro menu. Here, thin, diner-style burgers, crisp onion rings, and thick milkshakes rule the roost. Fried clam fans will find some of the best in town.
Brown Bag Burger

25853 Brookpark Rd., N. Olmsted Western Suburbs

440-801-1122

American

The prototype for what owners hope will become a national chain, this cheerful “quick-serve” burger joint offers dribble-down-your-chin double-cheeseburgers, freshly cut fries and a small assortment of sandwiches and freshly made soups.
Bubba's Q

820 Center Rd., Avon Western Suburbs

440-937-7859

Barbecue

Former Browns player Al “Bubba” Baker has discovered life beyond the gridiron — and it’s dry-rubbed, slow-smoked, and slathered with homemade BBQ sauce. While Bubba’s St. Louis-style ribs are meaty monsters, his boneless baby-back rib “steak” is one for the record books, deboned by a secret process and tender enough to cut with a fork.

Buca di Beppo

16677 SouthPark Center, Strongsville Western Suburbs

440-846-6262

Italian

Part of a national chain that attempts to recreate the experience of a boisterous Italian wedding circa 1950, Buca di Beppo is crowded, noisy and fun. The wall-posted menu includes gargantuan appetizers, salads, pizza, pasta, veal, and chicken dishes made for sharing. The food is good, even if it is overshadowed by sheer portion size.

Cabin Club Steakhouse

30651 Detroit Rd., Westlake Western Suburbs

440-899-7111

American, Menu

Big, juicy steaks, an annotated wine list, and friendly waitresses make this the place for expense-account types to unwind after work or to entertain on the weekends. Excellent choices include the Cabin Club strip steak, the center-cut rib-eye, a behemoth porterhouse, and a buttery filet mignon. A few seafood and poultry items are also available.
Carrie Cerino's Ristorante

8922 Ridge Rd., N. Royalton Western Suburbs

Live oldies, rock, and blues invigorate the weekend crowds at Under C's Lounge, the spacious basement club adjoining Carrie Cerino's Italian restaurant.

4954 Great Northern Mall, North Olmsted Western Suburbs

440-777-0864

Quick Casual

Diners at this locally based, quick-casual chain inside Great Northern Mall can design their salads from a near-endless selection of greens, toppings and dressings, which are then chopped by a mezzaluna-wielding staffer on a wooden block.

Cleats Strongsville

15147 Pearl Rd., Strongsville Western Suburbs

440-572-4772

American

A snug little hideaway just behind the Q, Cleats is part of a rapidly growing local chain of sports bars. Wings are the kitchen's claim to fame, but we've got our eyes on the fries — fresh-cut cuties so good, we sometimes order them without the cheese and bacon.
Cornerstone Brewing Company

58 Front St., Berea Western Suburbs

440-239-9820

Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars, Menu

This good-looking microbrewery just about has it all: good pub fare, laid-back style and a handcrafted collection of above-average beers, ranging from the crisp Grindstone Gold (an American-style lager) to the Big Creek Porter, a dark, hefty potion loaded with chocolate, roasted malt and hops flavors.
Das Schnitzel Haus

5728 Pearl Rd., Parma Western Suburbs

440-886-5050

Eastern European, Menu

We’ve all been there: too tired to cook and too apathetic to pull on anything fancier than jeans. On such nights, this homey little eastern European spot is just the ticket, with its comforting, inexpensive food and staff of maternal servers.

Dave & Buster's

25735 First St., Westlake Western Suburbs

440-892-1415

American

For those who have come to this entertainment complex primarily to play the state-of-the-art games and then find that the starship piloting, dinosaur dodging, and race-car driving have left them peckish, meals in the lavishly appointed Grand Dining Room are generally good-tasting, satisfying, and reasonably priced conveniences.

D.C. Pasta Co.

12214 Pearl Rd., Strongsville Western Suburbs

440-238-8500

Italian/Pizza, Menu

Chef Dante Boccuzzi’s third Cleveland restaurant, D.C. makes high-quality, house-made pastas fun and affordable. Sold by portion size — taste, appetizer, or main — the various combinations can be mixed and matched to create a wide-ranging feast. The rest of the menu is equally accessible, with sections for cured meats, Italian cheeses, marinated veggies, meatballs, entrées — even olives. Top it all off with 25 bottles of Italian wine priced south of $25 and you have the makings of an affordable Italian banquet.
Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino

7305 Broadview Rd., Seven Hills Western Suburbs

216-236-6007

Italian, Pizza, Menu

Too often, Italian joints go heavy on the comfort and light on the quality. Not so here where owner Eddie Cerino approaches traditional Italian food less like a grandmother and more like a chef. The result is food that looks familiar but tastes modern. And thanks to half orders of salad and pasta, diners have control over portion size and price. $$$
El Jalapenos

1313 W. 117th St., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-226-9765

Mexican

Comfy, cozy, and casual enough to take the kids, this tidy taqueria offers a large menu of freshly prepped Mexican and Tex-Mex standards, ranging from flautas, burritos, and homemade tamales to cheesecake and fried ice cream. Special menus for kids and non-carnivores make it a particularly appealing family destination.
El Rodeo

23135 Lorain Rd., N. Olmsted Western Suburbs

440-686-1250

Mexican

This pretty hacienda would look more at home on a Mexican hillside than on busy Lorain Road, but the big menu of housemade south-of-the-border fare will be familiar to most Northeast Ohioans. Among the notables, spicy serrano-spiked salsa is a standout, and quivering homemade flan, with a dulce de leche caress, is a delight.
Famous Dave's

26410 Great Northern Plaza, N. Olmsted Western Suburbs

440-777-0200

Barbecue, Menu

No more waiting for the Memorial Day weekend to pig out on Famous Dave’s barbecued ribs: The Minneapolis-based chain restaurant and perpetual crowd-pleaser at the Great American Rib Cook-Off has finally opened an outpost in Greater Cleveland.
First Watch

168 Market St., Westlake Western Suburbs

440-808-1082

Cafes, Coffee Shops & Bakeries

The perfect start to a session of retail therapy, First Watch is fashionable and airy, with a breakfast menu that slants toward salads, fruits, and veggies. The cranberry-nut pancakes — with chewy gems of sweet-tart berries playing peekaboo from inside ephemeral cakes — are like Prada for the palate.
Harry Buffalo Lakewood

18605 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

216-221-1313

American

Stampede over to Harry Buffalo when you need a fix of low-fat bison steaks, ribs, or burgers: This homegrown chain, with six area locations, is the largest purchaser of buffalo meat in Ohio. Besides bison, the large menu includes beef, salads, pastas, and chicken. The video games and a big list of imported, domestic, and microbrewed beers are just what urban cowboys need after a long week on the trail.
