Yours Truly Restaurants

Notso fries, fun atmosphere, delicious breakfasts, sandwiches and again, the notso fries!

Going to Yours Truly makes me realize that Mentor really needs a good diner. Nothing terrible here but it’s definitely average. I had a taste for a club sandwich and YT makes a decent one. I would only eat breakfast here if I wanted a bloody mary. The service was alright, she tried to give us the wrong check, but that was an honest mistake. I should have asked for my fries well done too. They were under cooked and cold.

I had a coupon for a free entrée so we decided to try this place for dinner. What mistake the dinner menu selection is very limited mostly sandwiches, The few meals on the menu did not have one thing that I liked. So I decided to get a Reuben and my wife got a hamburger while to my surprise it was not a corn beef it was chicken I asked the waitress if it was corn beef she said yes. I never in my life heard of a chicken Ruben. So I had her take that sandwich back and I ordered a Montecristo instead that was one of the worst sandwiches I ever had, everything was soggy bread the cottage fries. It was very very bland in taste. My wife hamburger nothing special she said the burgers at steak and shake are much better cheaper. This place may be good for breakfast but forget the dinners. Of course I should’ve realized before we even walked in it was not that good they were only about six people in the place and this was the dinner hour needless to say we will not be back here.

I like this place. Nice atmosphere and good food. Can get pretty busy but they seem to deal with it ok.

Went in for breakfast and I’m pretty sure our waitress was miffed that she had to wait in us. Friendly no, tasty yes, stomach issues on the way home YES. I won’t be back

Expected more! The service was slow and not at all welcoming or friendly. My daughter who is always the first to jump to waitresses defense was even speechless. They were out of redskin potatoes, then pink lemonade and then out of the daily fish fry. Not looking to return anytime soon after spending $ 70 on 5 people no drinks and was only supposed to be a quick stop.

I came here with my fiancée for brunch. As usual, this place was crowded. But our wait was only 10 minutes long our server came right away to get our drink orders. She was friendly and nice. I ordered a Monte Cristo with a half order of sweet potato fries. My fiancée ordered a reuban burger with cottage fries. As usual we shared our meals with each other. The Monte Cristo was piled high with turkey and ham and was served with honey mustard. The reuban burger was cooked medium perfectly. Both were delicious. The only criticism I have is the seating. We were put at a table where the were people walking back and forth on each side of us, it kind of felt like we were on display. And the seats are not upolstered, just hard wood. Maybe that is how they turn tables so quickly.

I stopped for brunch with my fiancée. This place is always packed and we usually just go find some place else to eat. Since we hadn’t been here for quiet some time we decided to go anyway. I ordered the Reuben burger, My fiancée the Monte Cristo sandwich. They were both very good in fact, the food is always good here as is the service. The seats are uncomfortable and we were put right in the middle of the restaurant where people walked by on both sides of us. It felt like we were on display.

Yours Truly is definitely one of the best breakfast and lunch spots in Mentor. They have traditional breakfast options that are all great and a solid collection of sandwiches for the lunch crowd. The chili is also fantastic.
The service is always on point and they do a great job of getting the food out quickly and correctly. Along with this, the décor is very nice and clean.
I would recommend anyone looking for a quick bite in the Mentor area to stop in to Yours Truly. You will be happy you did.

Stopped for lunch. The place was quite busy but the service was fast and efficient. There were five of us. We had the loaded potatoes, they were good but quite heavy. We had a variety of sandwiches and all were well prepared. Nice atmosphere, good food and OK but not great service.

By far my favorite place to eat in Mentor. I don’t live here now but whenever I come back to visit I always come here. The food is always delicious. The service is always great. It’s just a good place to go.

I’ve lived in the Cleveland area all my life and it’s taken me 29 years to finally try this local gem. Simply put, I see the reason YT is so successful, with 8 restaurants and 32 years in the biz. My first time was actually at the Chagrin Falls location at it was a hit. My second was here in Mentor (also a hit). You just can’t beat the quality to price ratio here. It’s has a diner feel but it’s so much better. Give it a try, you’ll be happy you did!

Went there yesterday (Sunday) for breakfast for the first time with my wife. It was a very nice surprise and the food quality was excellent! Liked I could get turkey links instead of pork for a change. The food was hot and the coffee is included in the price which is not always the case when dining out. The service was also very friendly and fast even though it was busy. This will not be our last trip to this location! Highly recommended!

I thought this restaurant was very nice. I had the grilled chicken quesadilla and it was delicious! Very large and could not eat it all. Prices are fantastic! Waiters and waitress were awesome, would definitely come here again if in the area

Very nice establishment, after dining this place, i was surprised to see other reviews about this place. The servers there were awesome and the food is so good, i had the killa skillet with cup of chili, very tasty and chili was even homemade, its very rare to find good homemade chili. Good place for breakfast.

We stopped in here yesterday while we were waiting for my prescriptions to filled. I wasn’t expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by a few things.
One, service was actually very sweet, quick and efficient! Kudos!
Second, I was expecting Applebee’s-esque food, but received something much fresher! The side salad was HUGE. I think they could get away with throwing a few extra ingredients in there besides lettuce, cheese and a cucumber slice. But the lettuce wasn’t all iceberg (thank god), it was crispy, fresh and delicious! I also ordered the turkey rueben, which was also very tasty!
I’ll go with a three star for now, but I’m definitely coming back to try breakfast.

I am torn, nay heartbroken with this place. I absolutely love their food however I absolutely hate the «everything is a la carte ordering,» every server stares at you like a deer in the headlights if you stray from the menu in any way, and special orders definitely upset them. I hate it when the server refills my glass, touching the glass I drank from to the pop machine where other glasses that others drank from have touched. disgusting. They never come back to the table to check until you are almost done eating, and do not understand the «salads and appetizers come before the meal in america» concept.
Their staff is not knowledgeable about their food or what drinks are available, our server was so confused about the beer selections, we skipped the beers, she lost herself some money there. she did not suggestively sell anything, if i was her boss she would be re trained or let go. She was offended by us and proceeded to talk s**t to one of her other tables about us and how «difficult» we were, because we asked questions? really? The table whom she engaged in conversation, were two servers from one of our other favorite restaurants, where we spend a lot of money on a weekly basis both dining in and taking out. Because they engaged her in this conversation and were so vocal about what awful human beings we are, and because they proudly announced «we work at Petie’s» we won’t be eating there anymore either.
Service is consistently bad, always has been, every six months or so we give them another chance, every time we are disappointed, we will not be back. I have been in the restaurant business myself for 22 years and I work too hard for my tips and my customers to waste my money here.
We did leave an almost 30% tip. she has to make a living somehow and we aren’t douchebags despite what she said.

Seems like the place is starting to go downhill…
I have no issues with the food. Overall the food is wonderful. Consistently good. My concern (that I have previously shared with the management) is the restrooms. I cannot speak towards the ladies’ room but the mens’ room needs attention. My main concern is that if the restrooms are in such poor cleanliness and repair, what does the kitchen look like?
The tiles near the floor are cracked, and black mold is plentiful. The one toilet’s seat is loose and makes it difficult to put a toddler on a potty that moves…
The one urinal will run constantly. But it’s useable.
The twin sinks back up and the dirty water that I washed my hands with just won’t go down. The door and door handle is very dirty and I just feel like I got dirtier just by going into the restroom. The place could really use a good cleaning… looks like cleanliness is an afterthought.
Entryway is filthy. Hasn’t been cleaned in some time.
Service — great.
I won’t be going back until they decide to do some cleaning.

Absolutely one of my favorite breakfast spots in Lake County! This cute little place definitely gives to that old diner feel, especially with the really awesome wrap around dine-​at counter and AMAZING hand dipped milk shakes (I highly suggest your order one or you’ll be sorry).
I will say that anything on the breakfast menu will be delicious — I have not once had a disappointing meal and neither should you. I’m a big fan of the eggs benedict and the veggie omelet and I’ve also had bites of the pancakes (sorry, you eat with me and order something that looks super yummy I’m going fork first into your plate! well, if that’s ok…). I’ve also ordered takeout for lunch and the food is also quite good, but definitely nowhere near the mouth watering-​ness of the breakfast delights. One more thing, you HAVE to (I really mean HAVE to) try the flash fried artichoke hearts — with ranch, obvi! What was it — pringles that said «once you pop you can’t stop»?? Well, apply this philosophy to these awesome little appetizers!
My only gripe is how crowded this place gets. Try and get there early on the weekends for breakfast because you and everyone else in Mentor are all thinking the same thing — yours truly! If you end up waiting, don’t get frustrated — the payoff is worth it.

The service at Yours Truly has always been fast when I’ve dined there, despite the number of customers. I went in for a quick bite with my mom and brother, and they delivered speedily.
I ordered the Turkey Reuben, which was pretty average and a little greasy. It came with two slices of fresh melon, which was a nice touch. My brother’s General Tso’s Chicken was piled high with rice and drenched in sauce, and consisted of relatively few pieces of chicken compared to the volume of rice and a portion one might receive at a Chinese restaurant. My mom liked her hamburger.
The staff was attentive and refilled our coffee frequently.
Overall, their menu selection just isn’t my taste, and I find it challenging to locate many healthy options. For their versatility, I would think that they might have more selection. It’s also priced a little high for the quality I received.
