SpeedTrap Diner Is Cleveland’s Very Own 50s-Themed Diner
Posted in Cleveland| April 24, 2019, by Nikki Rhoades
There’s something magical about comfort food and an old-school attitude. Perhaps it’s the warmth that emanates from both, or maybe it’s the side serving of nostalgia that makes such an environment really memorable. Though retro environments are well sought after, there are few places near Cleveland that perfectly captures nostalgia and fun. Fortunately, locals don’t have to travel far for such an experience.
Speedtrap Diner 2024
Located about 90 minutes outside of Cleveland is Woodville, a quaint village that's home to less than 2,200 residents. Despite its teeny population, this community is home to more charm than it can handle.
And the community is made even more vibrant, if you can imagine it, with the addition of one retro diner that people come from all over to visit.
The word "speed trap" is rarely associated with a good time, but SpeedTrap Diner is changing everything. It's located at the center of town at 310 E Main St., Woodville, and is said to be the diner for cool people (their slogan is actually "cool people eat here," and they're not wrong!).

Stopped in after a very long swim meet. Our teenagers were starving and we did not leave hungry. Cool place, great menu and the service was wonderful. We’ll be back!
This was our first time here. The atmosphere was amazing. Our whole table had the portage monster burger with fries and it was AMAZING!! There was so much flavor! The women’s bathroom was pretty awesome! Definitely will be coming back more often! Well worth the drive and the money spent!
Very interesting place! The food is absolutely amazing the atmosphere is very eclectic and vintage! Absolutely amazing service & they have the best themed bathrooms I have ever seen! Definitely would recommend stopping in for a visit! Ice cream parlor connect to the restaurant so you can dine in or get something to go! Will definitely be back!
We were on a road trip for a family vacation and I asked my wife to find a cool place along the route. This is where she came up with. To say my kids (3 & 6) loved it would be an understatement. Everything was so good. They have kids milkshakes to go with their meals and breakfast is served all day. The homies as they call them are their version of homestyle fries and are out of this world. Portions are also large, so sadly I didn't get to try out the pies they had on the menu, but those looked great also. I'm a pretty picky eater and I bet there were 15-20 items on the menu I would have eaten. Now on to the non-food side, the restaurant was decorated like a 50's style cafe which was very neat, it was the kind of place I remember going to as a kid that doesn't exist anymore. The place was clean and the staff was very nice. There's a strong chance we will make this restaurant a permanent stop of our trips east going forward. Can't recommend this place enough!!!
My wife and I drove 2 1/2 hours today on a cruise in our 57 Chevy to the Speedtrap Diner for lunch. The atmosphere was really very cool. Our waitress and the owner both treated us like we were royalty. The food was awesome. We did not save room for dessert, so another cruise to the Speedtrap is in our near future.
