Cleveland diner mini guide

My Friend's Deli & Restaurant

This gray lady of the West Side diner world has been the recent recipient of a little facelift. It doesn't suffer from drunk-dreary décor, or even that oh-so-popular "mummified grandma" look many diners proudly flaunt. My Friend's looks and at times feels a bit like a hospital cafeteria now—if that hospital issued heart attacks instead of treating them. The menu's the usual armada of breakfast items, sandwiches and the lot with a few minor curveballs, like My Friend's hummus platter. If you feeling like raising the bar, My Friend's also features a bar that serves beer and wine every day from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. This spot's the perennial standard-bearer under which many West Side partiers have come to feed their late-night hungries.
