My 13-year-old daughter and I visited Royal Breakfast & More today and unfortunately had a bad experience overall. It did not feel very family-friendly and was overpriced for what we received. I ordered medium bacon, which was cooked well. My daughter did not specify how she wanted hers cooked, and it came out completely black and tasteless. They did replace it, which I appreciate. When I asked why the toast wasn’t buttered, I was told they get too busy on weekends to butter the toast. That explanation was disappointing, as being busy shouldn’t mean skipping basic preparation. The eggs and potatoes were good, but the toast I received had a butter substitute that tasted exactly like movie-theater popcorn butter. It was not good at all—real butter would be a much better choice. I ordered a waffle, and my daughter had chocolate chip pancakes. She said hers was good, but my waffle was ice cold. I believe the syrup may have been cold, which made the waffle unpleasant to eat. Another downside was the drinks. They do not offer fountain soda—only 20oz bottles priced at $3.50 each, which are not refillable. The original total for our meal was $35 for the two of us. Due to the number of issues, the manager comped our entire meal, which I do appreciate. The manager also asked us to be fair with this review, and this is an honest and accurate account of our visit. There are many other places we’ve eaten without these kinds of problems, so we do not plan on returning.

Truly hidden gem in Broadview Heights! The menu selection is impressive and prices are very reasonable for the quantity. Owners are friendly and welcoming and they go out of their way to provide exceptional services. Their pancake is massive, the photo show my hand compared to the size of the pancake. Highly recommended as breakfast or lunch spot.

Royal Breakfast & More amazes with dishes fit for a king. When Royal Breakfast & More first opened at 500E Royalton Road, in Broadview Heights Ohio I was quick to try it out and saddened to find it to be ordinary. It was about a year before I returned for a second time, to find it has blossomed into one of the finest breakfast/lunch restaurants in the area. A bigger menu, with more variety than the famous specialty chains recently opened a mile east near Route 77. Royal Breakfast & More provides great service, personal attention to each customer’s preferences and needs, and a family feeling…all without the long waits necessay to get a table at the chains even at weekend brunchtime. Their Apple Cinnamon Crepes are my favorite, though I generally can only eat half and take the other half home for a later treat. (See photo) I have tried many of their over 100 delicious meals and have been delighted every time. I give them 5 stars and urge you to dine there the next time you want more for less and a big thank you. RS Broadview Heights Resident
