Choosing a place to eat in Cleveland can be a daunting task. With so many restaurants offering so many different types of food, it can be hard to find the perfect place to dine. If you’re looking to try new places for a memorable bite to eat, check out these unassuming buildings that house impressive menus:

Slyman’s Restaurant

Slyman’s is a Cleveland favorite. Stop for a larger-than-life sandwich (I mean, these sandwiches are huge) and be sure to order the corned beef if you want to try the best in the Midwest. Come with a big appetite, because you’ll be in for some hefty portions in a small-town environment.

Graffiti: A Social Kitchen

Enjoy a relaxing evening on the patio or stroll through the chic interior of this warm and inviting Cleveland restaurant. Don’t let its Victorian exterior fool you; Graffiti offers great modern American fare. Be brave and try something new! Order epic dishes like the Buccatini or the Graffiti Burger and find out why the locals love this cuisine.

They say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but in this case, it’s definitely not a crime. Bakersfield’s Tex-Mex cuisine and delicious cocktails are as colorful as its facade, and the tacos are really good. They fit right into the vivacious atmosphere of Ohio City!

Williams Hot Sauce

If you have a craving for old-fashioned soul food, you should check out this colorful Cleveland restaurant. With generous (but messy) portions and an eye-catching paint scheme, your experience at this restaurant will be unique to Cleveland.

Crop Bistro

Just a stone’s throw from the West Side Market, there’s a building that blends in quite easily with the cityscape. It seems to be a bank, but in fact it is an impressive restaurant serving traditional American dishes with a twist. The interior is elegant and refined, and the dishes are sure to please.

The Bourbon Street Barrel Room

Cajun, anyone? There’s no better place to enjoy it than in the amazing Tremont neighborhood. While the building’s exterior may be modest, the interior atmosphere is unbeatable and the food will blow you away.

Townhall

Townhall has an undeniably Cleveland vibe, and it’s made even better with an impressive menu that caters to all dietary needs. Whether you’re craving breakfast, dinner, or something in between, you must visit this place. Their great American dishes are anything but traditional… in fact, you could even say they are original in Cleveland, thanks in part to local sourcing, but also to the surprisingly unique dishes.

Doc And Lennies

In the mood for a classic diner-style treat? You’ve come to the right place! Here you can enjoy a welcoming atmosphere that offers mouthwatering dishes that will appeal to both picky and adventurous eaters.
