The grill garnered more than twice as many votes as any other nominee

It turns out most of our voters are taking their moms to Beach Club Grill for brunch on Mother's Day. The grill garnered more than twice as many votes as any other nominee. Of course, that doesn't mean the other nominees don't have their fans. But nobody was topping Beach Club Grill this week. The other nominees were: Thank you to everyone who nominated a restaurant or voted for their favorite. Come back Monday when we'll be asking everyone where their favorite staycation spots in Mentor are.

Manhattan Deli Voted Most Popular Breakfast In Mentor

Manhattan Deli led a tough field

We asked you to pick your favorite breakfast in Mentor and you selected Manhattan Deli. Unlike the favorite family restaurant vote, which featured a pair of front runners, no eatery ran away with this poll. Manhattan Deli won with 37 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, Yours Truly only trailed by 24 votes. In fact, the first and last place vote getters were only separated by 41 votes. The other nominees were: Next week, we'll be asking everyone who their favorite tax preparer is. (Oh, yes, we are in the heart of tax time.)

So many choices! Be sure to try the breakfast bagel; it is a terrific value and consistently cooked to perfection. The service is another reason why Manhattan Deli is #1. Congratulations to Tim and his awesome team! Marilyn Kent   more ›
