Restaurants in Mayfield Heights

The name Burgers-N-Beer is straightforward. That’s why first-time visitors may be surprised by the scope of the eatery’s offerings. Cooks sculpt juicy half-pound patties by hand, piling on toppings such as fried eggs or marinara sauce. They also stuff burgers with fillings such as gorgonzola or creole-inspired olive tapenade, and they sometimes go to extremes by crafting burgers that weigh in at a full pound.

Patrons can also opt for slabs of ribs, corned-beef sandwiches on rye, and Italian specialties such as fried ravioli or italian wedding soup. But the food isn’t the only reason to stop by. Burgers-N-Beer exudes what one Cleveland Scene writer described as "old-time charm, cheery atmosphere, and prompt, friendly service—all seemingly designed to make a midweek dinner feel like a getaway at a lakeside resort.” On Friday and Saturday nights, the restaurant stops eager patrons from abandoning still-rolling cars with complimentary valet service.

Nestled within the Cuyahoga County Airport, J B Milano's casual dining room entices travelers with maroon cloth napkins and burgundy leather chairs stippled in brass studs. Tabletop lamps throw light on exposed white brick walls and tablecloths sewn from pages of SkyMall. To pair with these decorative trimmings, JB Milano's dishes out homemade Italian fare from a menu of classic recipes.

Grumbling stomachs silence with comforting plates of pastas or withering stares from open-faced prime-rib sandwiches on toasted rye. Veal and fish filets arrive enveloped in savory breading and topped with such ingredients as artichoke hearts, capers, and delicate wine sauces. Hearty steak dishes, meanwhile, arrive at tables artfully arranged on sparkling white plates.

In 1972, Joseph Catanese created Giuseppe’s Pizza & Subs on the square-crust foundation of Sicilian-style pies and oven-roasted sandwiches. Like their dough, the chefs in Giuseppe’s kitchen rise early and often, making breads from scratch daily. Their pizza canvases also fuel the efforts of other local eateries by providing them with pre-baked crusts and frozen dough balls, which are also ideal for training for an upcoming basketball-eating contest.
