LOCAL ROOTS CLEVELAND: Heck’s Cafe

When I have those days where all I want is a good burger, especially during certain times of the month, Heck’s is my first choice if we are going out to eat! The restaurant has two locations— one in Ohio City and one more west in Avon!

I love Heck’s because…

  • it utilizes grass-fed Ohio beef in it’s burgers, which contains up to five times more omega 3s and double the amount of CLA as conventionally raised grain-fed beef. Translation for your health: metabolism boost, immune support, and mood stabilization!

  • the salad options are unreal! In my humble opinion, I think the people who dislike salads simply haven’t had a good one. The sad combo of iceberg lettuce, shredded cheddar, and croutons pails in comparison to the offerings at Heck’s. Orange and Beet with goat cheese? Avocado and Corn? Even the standard Ceasar choice is spruced up with cilantro and serrano peppers! Rooted Restaurant tip: Order a salad with a burger on top!

  • it offers accommodations for dietary needs. Going gluten free to support your auto-immune condition? Try the buffalo cauliflower breaded in rice flour!

  • brunch is offered on the weekends. Need I say more?

Awesome patio at the Avon location!
