This Week's Counter: George's Kitchen

Out to the West side for a visit to George’s, which seemed to be  really popular and well-liked according to on-line reviews.  It’s a pretty big place out on Triskett, right near the RTA station.  Very busy in the late morning on a Saturday, and we were lucky to grab a couple seats at the counter after just a short wait.   George’s seems to attract a strong crowd of regulars from the neighborhood – lots of people seemed to know the staff by name.

George’s has a pretty diverse menu for lunch and dinner, including lots of home-style favorites and local ethnic dishes.  Breakfast also had more options than most places, but covered the basics too.  They had a special running on chicken and waffles – perfect for Cam since it was a combo of his breakfast and lunch favorites.  He loved the chicken, but felt the waffles could have been better.  Ted went with the classic breakfast – eggs, potatoes, toast and bacon.  Pretty solid all around, although like at most places, they don’t get the concept of very well-done potatoes.  Coffee was pretty good, and they kept it continually filled – example of what was really good service throughout.

For sure worth a visit if you are on the West side – maybe not standout on food, but definitely good value for the money and a great place to see a cross-section of blue-collar Cleveland.
   
 

Cam says: "Good food, but the service was opposite. I'll give this counter 6 frying pans."


Ted says: "Friendly urban neighborhood atmosphere and lots of choices.  Good food, fair prices. I give George’s 6 frying pans."
