Demetrio’s Family Restaurant

I know all of this is opinions and everyone is entitled to their opinion– but, I don’t know how anyone could give this place one star.
I had an entire breakfast (eggs, potatoes, toast) for $ 1.99. Coffee was good and our service was good. Our food came so fast that I was literally shocked. The waitress apologized bc it was out and I was doing something — lol
All you can eat breakfast bar for $ 6.99 and their salad bar (on the breakfast bar) was huge!
We will be back!

The food is absolutely atrocious. The server was incredibly rude, I don’t know if I’ll ever go back. STAY AWAY

So far, the service sucks here. My waitress expected i wanted some nasty ass coffee. Then I ask for a water and I don’t get it until when my meal comes out. Nobody acknowledged me when I walked in. And she was so fucking rude. I will never be back. Why do you think their so cheap because everything sucked.

This is one of my favorite local places. The breakfast is amazing and for a steal. The service is fantastic.

Not sure what the deal is here, but the quality of the food has really gone down hill over the last year or so. I think I’ll pass on this place from now on.

Took my friend from out of town for breakfast here and was pretty disappointed, especially as when I drive by the place it is always packed. Our heavily tattooed server looked like she should be working a biker bar and was pretty indifferent to us. Especially for breakfast, you would think the one thing they would drum into the wait staff is to keep the coffee filled. Ours came back once, at the end of the meal. I had the «homemade» corned beef hash and eggs and it was another BIG disappointment. The hash had the exact look and taste of a can of Hormel hash you could pick up for a buck in the supermarket. Really, overall this was a pretty crappy experience. Especially disappointing as this is one of the few family owned breakfasts places in town. I won’t be going back

We’ve gone here twice now, maybe 3 times. Every time we both come back with sick stomachs. The waitstaff are very friendly, and most the people in the place seem so as well. However the food is bland, and the coffee tasted like it was strained through a dirty sock. My bfs orange juice tasted suspiciously like Sunny D.
If you looking for cheap food that will fill you up then here is your spot. But beware you’ll spend the next few hours on the toilet. Even my boss came back feeling ill one day, but I can’t comment on their experience as I was not with them.

I went here with my parents, who are retirees on a Friday morning. Where do I begin. Getting in was a nightmare. Its a haven of older folks and the aggravation starts pulling in. Its a busy road so when there is a break, seize it and pull in, right? WRONG. You cant even pull in till they scoot in. I was getting mad before I even parked. I stood by the sign that says «please wait too be seated» like any normal reasonable adult would do. Not these clowns. They were just walking in and sitting down. SCUZE ME! Im seething at this point. Finally they give me a table. NOPE! Surrounded by lil old ladies with gawd awful granny perfume. All different ones too. I dont know if youve every smelled «Taboo» but it should be a taboo YUCK!!!
Nope, seat me else where. Host nodded understandingly and took me elsewhere. Thank God. I get seated and my parents walk in.10 minutes later finally got coffee. Waited 15 MORE MINUTES TOO ORDER! Look I know its busy but hell they are all ordering the same damn senior special how hard can this be? Food came and hey, its basic breakfast food. Nothing phenomenal just eggs and toast etc. One damn refill only after I grabbed someone.
SO.
The food is fair and reasonably priced.
If you don’t mind the old people and their staring, have at it. Me? Ill pass.

Poor quality all around. Eggs are consistently overcooked, and even my waffle was bone dry. Service is ok, usually friendly. But you get what you pay for at Demetrio’s. It’s about what I would expect for a $ 2 breakfast.

Food is always delicious. However, their main hostess is EXTREMELY rude… she yells over the phone if you apologize for not being able to hear her and then will slam it down. Very very unacceptable. Especially considering a hostess if supposed to be welcoming, right?

We were looking for a place to eat Friday night, and most places had an hour+ wait. We passed this by accident and saw it was packed. They have a fish fry on Wednesday/​Friday and I can say we were not disappointed. Lake Erie has some of the best Cod/​Walleye/​Perch I have ever had and this place gives you all you can eat for $ 7.99.

If coming on a Sunday come early or prepare to wait. The restaurant is sort of small but the breakfast buffet attracts a lot of people plus the good prices.
The food is okay nothing really exceptional but not bad either. The service matches the good an is just okay.
Looking for a cheap and filling place to eat this is the place.

I just love this place. I recently moved so it is now about a 30 minute drive, but it is worth it. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is always so kind and friendly, great home style cooking, and a great value. This is a local non chain restaurant, and I like that. Probably been here 20 times over the past 4 years, and I keep coming back.

I used to enjoy this place for the price until my daughter found tiny flies in the syrup bottle on the table and I went to the salad bar and it was COVERED with «fruit flies «which they told me they treat regularly. Told my husband who is a plumber and he said they are not fruit flies they are «sewer flies» and quite common in small places that don’t want to pay regular maintenance of their main lines to have them jetted out. I won’t be going here anymore.

I’m cheap, the breakfast is cheap… can’t get a clean, safe egg breakfast for $.99 anywhere. Close to Marc’s.

Came to this place because my husband works in the area, said they had a good cheap breakfast. I ordered the crazy Omelet with toast and home fries. My home fries were cold, and pretty much leaning more toward the super done side. My omelet had canned mushrooms in it which totally threw the taste off of it. The sliced cheese inside my omelet wasn’t melted, which is kind of scary. They were super busy, my kids loved the breakfast buffet, which was small and ideal for kids, cheaply priced as well. Refills came great and the staff was nice.

There aren’t too many places that I can say I’ve been going to for 15+ years. This is one. I have very fond memories of going here with my grandparents and parents. The little lunch buffet is a great deal. The server was sweet and accomodating even after my partner dumped her water on the floor. I actually enjoy a good cheap all american meal. I know not everyone remembers their grandparents taking them here for meals, but I do and I’ll keep coming back.
Went back for breakfast for the first time. Gotta say it was delicious, inexpensive and filling. The staff was as kind and attentive as can be even though I was alone and taking up a table during a busy breakfast rush. I love this little place.

Sure, we may have had an age difference of about 30 years between us an any of the other patrons… but seeing the old couples come in added to the charm.
Demetrios originally drew me in with their cheap breakfast signs. 99cents? $ 1.99…sign me up!
At the same time, those breakfasts are pretty meager and you’re required to get drinks… so in short, you’ll just want to order whatever you normally would order.
Our service was great… prompt with lots of coffee refills.
I ordered the gyro omelet which had plenty of yummy gyro meat and they brought me out a side of tatziki/​cucumber sauce. Delicious!

I have erased this first sentence 7 times now because I am not sure how to start. Its a family restaurant, which i like to support and generally prefer. The median age of the patron was about… 65. It also seemed as if everyone came in parties of 5 or more. They have booths that line the outside of the dining room and then the middle is tables. So if you are a hostess, where would you seat a party of 2? That’s right. dead in the middle of the dining room between a party of 10, a party of 8 and a party of 12. Talk about a loud and unpleasant breakfast! Never mind that 10 feet away was a nice little booth for 2 against the wall. Why would you seat us there? That would be complete tomfoolery!
The food… They have a house special breakfast for $ 1.99 and because i am frugal (cheap) I thought i would give that a shot. Well its exactly what you would picture $ 1.99 breakfast looking like. Small, unfulfilling and really disappointing. I would so rather have the Chimney Breakfast from Red Chimney for $ 2.50! The breakfast itself was pretty good tasting except for the «hash browns» which should really be named Pale Hash or Milky Hash on their menu. They looked steamed and had NO brown to them at ALL!
The waitress appeared as if she was competing in a decathlon. Everything else was much more important and pressing than taking our order. I cant stand servers who do this. Your most important table is the one you are at RIGHT NOW. I did like her very much when i got the check and for 2 breakfasts, coffee and OJ… $ 8.90! Its as if all the bad of the meal had disappeared, the clouds parted and rose pedals adorned the ground on the way to the cash register.
This is not one of my favorites. although the prices are super cheap. Still I prefer The Chimney!

Demetrios is a fine, lovely place.
In the sixties, Roger Waters spoke to a generation when he beckoned for a dirty woman. A dirty gal.
America’s youth listened, understood his lament then did each other and drugs enthusiastically. But youth can only last for so long. The days of sex, tabs of acid the size of a Nutter Butter and Boone’s Farm fortified wine are gone. The people are still here.
And I know where all those people have gone. Yep. Demetrios Family Restaurant on Broadview Road. Now they want a dirty breakfast. And wow can they find a good and dirty breakfast buffet here. The bacon fuses in the warming tray, the eggs are scrambled on the flat top so you can actually see them weeping under the lights. The pancakes are as heavy as a man-​hole cover but not nearly as big. The toast is wet. The juice is tang.
When was the last time you had tang? Tang is awesome in the morning with a breakfast buffet that even has gyro meat. Sometimes they have gyro meat. If they don’t they should. They should have gyro meat in that breakfast buffet. Or pork chops. They should have pork chops in there somewhere. It would be better than the great it is now. It is certainly filling. Coffee.
The waitresses are nice and they know that if you’re not 75, you’ll leave a tip so they treat you special and the crowd is angsty and old and seems like they’s itching for you to grab at their sausage link so they can cuss you out. And maybe you do. Maybe, just for the hell of it, you bump the guy with the big fork just to see what he’ll do. Let’s do this.
And then you remember he was a hippy once and he says, «it’s cool, man. Here you go.»
Awesome life lessons at an awesome amazing breakfast place where you can get tang and full and happy and ready to cross that border up into the Broadview Heights you’ve come to need like a drug of your own. Or wait. That’s me. Nevermind that last part.
