We're actually not sure how we found out about Gina's -- but somehow we determined the place had a counter and drove out to Lorain Rd in Fairview Park to check it out on Saturday late morning. The parking lot was jammed and there were people standing waiting for one of the very few (maybe 8?) tables in this very small diner. We figured there's no way we'd get in with about 40 minutes until they close (only open until 11:25! on Saturday). But there were two seats together at the counter, and we asked some guys to move over to make room for the three of us (Tami was with us today).
Gina herself greeted us -- she and her staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We got drinks and quickly ordered - bagel with egg and bacon for Cam, Western omelet and potatoes for Ted, and eggs, bacon and potatoes for Tami. Coffee was pretty good, with constant refills. Unfortunately, the food was very slow -- they were technically closed by the time ours arrived. But it was generally worth the wait -- very hot and tasty, although they didn't get the potatoes well-done as ordered. Overall pretty good though.
Gina's is a solid West-side diner with great atmosphere and friendly service. But go early if you want a table -- seems like it's really popular , and there's usually a wait.

Cam says: "Comfortable counter and place, but service was slow. Food quality was really solid. I'll give it 6 frying pans."
Ted says: "Love the atmosphere of this place, super-friendly. Big portions for a very low price, and pretty tasty. Not the most comfortable counter and a long wait for our food. 6 frying pans for me."
Guest reviewer Tami says: "Friendly staff, tight quarters and average food.. It's worth 5 frying pans."
