TJ’s Butcher Block

“TJ's Is one of the best kept LOCALLY OWNED sandwich shops just west of Cleveland. Located on Detroit rd just before you enter Downtown Lakewood, TJ's sits on the south side of the street. TJ’s values their time-tested motto of only supplying the best meats, and freshest cuts to Lakewoodites. The hometown eatery brings some of the best sandwiches at a low-cost which is why I come here often. I usually end up buying dinner too!!!” Seth S. on Yelp

The homemade/fresh bread is such a game changer. My favorite is the Cubano...the perfect sandwich really. If there was a location in Chicago I would frequent weekly,” Daniel W. on Yelp

Corner 11

2391 West 11th St., Cleveland

“I love this place, I really thought that an authentic and fresh poke place would be hard to find in Cleveland, but this place really. hits the spot. The ingredients are so fresh that the poke bowls really pop at you as they should. So many options for toppings and variety to spice things up. At 12.50 for a medium bowl, it's all pretty affordable for quality poke and I was very full after finishing, a large might be good for two people to share. I'm a sucker for tuna and salmon, so that's what I ordered this time around, but will definitely come back to mix things up a little and try the rest of the menu!” Lloyd C. on Yelp

The chicken and goat were so juicy and flavorful. Additionally, we had some samosas , chicken korma, and naan. All of it was perfect,” Emma Y. on Yelp.

They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a small market area if you need to pick up a bottle of wine for the home. Can't wait to go back and try a new board,” Kaylyn G. on Yelp

Half Moon Bakery

3460 West 25th St., Cleveland

“I've never tried an empanada before until I came to half moon, and I will only ever eat them from Half Moon for here on out! As a vegetarian, I wasn't sure what my options I'd be getting but there were two wildly different ones on the menu that were absolutely AMAZING. You enter Half Moon, you are greeted so kindly, you order, and like 5 bakers pop out of nowhere and start absolutely slinging empanadas at lightning speed. Never seen a phenomenon like it, it was amazing. I waited maybe 10 minutes max for them to be completely made, and they are made from scratch! There are also baked goods, salad options, and coffee options as well. Half moon will now become a staple in my quick but local diet, and for that I'm thankful,” Hope S. on Yelp.
