A Parma counter that never got fancy

Creative hot dogs, hand-formed burgers & fresh cut fries, served the way this neighborhood has always eaten them: fast, generous and made to order.

A Pearl Rd fixture

Generations of Parma families have pulled into the lot on Pearl Rd for a coney and a bag of fries. The counter has been serving this neighborhood for years, and the regulars still order the same way they always have.

Same recipes, new energy

Under new ownership the diner reopened with the classics intact — the chili sauce, the cheese sauce, the homemade slaw and sauerkraut — plus a bigger menu of smashed burgers, fresh breaded chicken and monthly specials off the flat top.

Cleveland's best burger

The Pierogi Burger — hand-formed patties, a locally crafted pierogi, grilled onions, American cheese and sour cream — is the one that gets written up, and the one first-timers should order.

What does not change

Hand-formed, never frozen

Every burger patty is formed by hand from fresh ground beef and smashed to order on the flat top.

Fresh cut fries

Potatoes cut in house every day, fried crisp and salted the second they come out of the basket.

Made-in-house sauces

Chili sauce, cheese sauce, cole slaw, sauerkraut, Nashville sauce and the famous Parma Sauce.

A Parma institution

A neighborhood counter on Pearl Rd that locals have been ordering coneys from for years.
