Restaurants in Lakewood

“Excellent dinner tonight on the patio. Nick took great care of us again. Will be back soon.”

“We had the pleasure of dining at Pier W for lunch today, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the delicious food to the impeccable service and breathtaking view, this restaurant truly has it all. First and foremost, the food was a culinary delight. I had the Walleye and my wife had the scallops for our main course. The crab cakes & shrimp cocktail were our choice for appetizer. All dishes were a symphony of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was as artistic as it was delicious. The service was equally impressive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile, and our server, Ellen was well-versed in the menu, helping us make the perfect choices. The pace of the meal was just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed.”

“Me and my wife had dinner at Barroco located in Lakewood today. The service, atmosphere and the food was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will be returning very soon!!!!”

“Great food. Excellent service.”

“Great food atmosphere location… had a good waitress! I recommend everyone to come in and dine at least once..”

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere! We started with fresh bread - with marinated red peppers, olives, artichokes and charcuterie. It was a party of six celebrating a birthday and we enjoyed a few glasses of wine and cocktails. We shared a chorizo Mac & cheese, sliders, flatbread and pork belly. Every dish was excellent. Highly recommend for a night out.”

“Good food and service! Thanks Adele!”

“Unique. Love this place. Drinks and food are awesome”

“Phenomenal!!! Great ambiance, amazing food and the best service. We had a late date night dinner and truly enjoyed every aspect of Molto Bene. We shared the veal special and the shrimp penne dishes and both were to die for. Carlo is so friendly and attentive. We will absolutely be back and recommend this place to all our friends & family!”

“Incredible meal last night, great spin on the meatball appetizer and the Bronzino was excellent. We finished the evening with two Verona’s. Great experience. Thanks”

“A wonderful, first time experience and we will definitely be back! The food was amazing and it was nice to eat at a relaxed pace that isn’t possible at many other restaurants. The service was perfect and I highly recommend!”

“Came here and tried the vegan nigiri tasting platter. Was blown away by the flavors and presentation, in particular the spicy cucumber inari, maitake mushroom, and eggplant “unagi” were absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back to try more!”

“the bowls are outstanding. never a long line”

“This was such a cute little spot to stop for dinner -- it's no wonder it was so busy! The ambiance was cute -- there were candles, eclectic glasses, and even artworks. The pizza itself was delicious - the sauce really sets both the tomato sauce and white pizzas apart. Plus everyone was super nice. Best pizza I've had in Cleveland.”

“The entire experience was awesome. The food is ridiculously good and the beverages were really creative cocktails. The wine list was great and we also got the benefit of a wait staff who recommended great bottles.”

“My organization hosted a professional happy hour in their event space. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Atmosphere, food, beer, and staff were all awesome. We had a great event thanks to ISB, and I can’t wait to visit again!”

“Really great sushi! And the fried veggie dumplings are amazing!! The service is great too. Fish and veggies are always fresh and delicious.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarianParking: Spots can be limited but they do have designated parking for their restaurant”

“Really fun place! Loved the chicken pesto pizza. Beautiful decor”

“The food was mediocre but filling and the drinks are overpriced IMO.However,the Drag Brunch was so much fun! I would definitely go back,I would also love to try the Drag Bingo.The entertainers were a lot of fun! Very engaging and Monica Lexin was top notch as a hostess!”

“great dive bar!!! old school bar..”

“I love this place for a quick, healthy bite to eat. I usually go for their vegetarian wrap, but you can also build your own wraps or salads. The vegetarian wrap is really delicious. I've had their smoothies too which are good, although at $8 they're a little pricy. I like that they have a rewards program and I can order on the app to get my food quickly. It's a great place to stop when you're on the go!”

“Great little spot in Lakewood! We ordered quite a few dishes for takeout and everything was piping hot, tasty, and packaged perfectly. Fair prices with large portions, especially for two people. Will do again.”

“Great food and wonderful hospitality. The drinks are amazing”

“A little hidden gem … totally cool”

“I had the best shrimp burrito made by a handsome employee today. He made my burrito perfect! I will be back! I have been here several times and the food can be a hit or miss. The atmosphere was cool today. I saw people sitting down and eating in there. I never eat in there. I just get my food to go.”

“We stumbled into Georgetown on the hunt for a Christmas bar and maybe an espresso martini. The first place we went was absolutely packed, so we went scampering off for a less crowded experience. Georgetown literally caught our eyes due to the patio, all decked out in Christmas lights with Igloos. in we go, to a rather classy bar with low key holiday decorations and a good vibe. We just grabbed seats at the bar and service was pretty quick. They had a holiday drink menu, but had forgotten to bring it out until we asked. The regular cocktail menu looked good, too, but we wanted festive! The star of the night was the mint chocolate martini. I'm going to guess it's a variation on a grasshopper, but it had chocolate syrup swirled around the glass, so I was there for it. Overall, we had a nice experience and I'd check them out again.”

“Wow! First time customer. I had the caprese toast and it was amazing! Worth the trip out of town!”

“Cake, cupcakes, and brownies are all delicious with a fun variety of flavors. Super nice and helpful staff too! Stopped in and got a cake, and they decorated it for the eclipse right then.”

“Great customer service!! Awesome service and food.”

“My favorite bakery on the Westside! Great products, massive and awesome hot/cold beverage selection. Service can be hit and miss sometimes and the order window placement is kind of weird. Three customers in line make the place feel cramped already.”

“Amazingly delicious and fun custom flavors!”

“The quiche is unbelievable, the lemon chicken soup is light and perfect, the pastries drove my coworkers crazy! Despina's is literally unbeatable”

“We finally stopped at Thai Kitchen and regret not eating here sooner! The staff are all so friendly and the food was perfect. My three year old daughter enjoyed her meal and loved her bubble tea smoothie. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back soon.”

“amazing!!!! the espresso is such an amazing blend, it isnt acidic at all. the goat cheese rosemary scone is divine I cannot wait to go again!!! amazing flavor options and the spring drink creations are unique and delicious! the environment of the place is gorgeous”

“Great homemade breadsticks and pizza”

“Fantastic food and service! Our go-to spot on the West side!”

“Great selection of music and t-shirts!”

“Our first time there. Left satisfied with full bellies and the warmth of the tequila from our margaritas. We will be back soon.”

“Highly recommend!! Service is great, pizza is phenomenal, staff were all really friendly, kid friendly-my boys loved the Kevin McCallister!”

“Adorable shopfront with coffee and tea drinks. Offerings include pastries, plant milks, and sugar free flavor syrups. The staff who work there are friendly and give good recommendations. -1 star because they close so early, wish they were open until at least 5pm.”

“awesome Newton Latte! love the environment and the staff is so friendly!”

“Quaint little Mom and Pop pastry shop. Handmade and baked fresh each morning. Sweet and savory pastries, strudel, cookies. Day olds go fast so you have to get there early to catch those! Delish!”

“I love coming here. The staff is amazing and always friendly I always get a cold brew and it's always delicious. My partner usually tries out their seasonal drinks and we've never had a bad one.”

“Great place to stop on the way to a downtown event”

“It’s not bad for a cookie shop. I’m glad that they finally added one in Lakewood, I don’t have to travel to Westgate now. What I like about this place is how they seem to switch up their menu every week. Regardless of what the offerings may be, the cookies always taste great, no complaints there. Friendly staff, clean store, not much else you can ask forParking: There’s parking on the street, but those spots might be taken. If they are taken, you can always park in the back parking lot, or on a side road”

“And great menu, fantastic staff!”

“Lunch Brunch includes many entries that are tasty, & the spices in these dishes are medicinal. I did not have any digestive issues, nor cravings later in the day. Food made in a. kitchen with real ingredients makes the difference.”

“This is a great place to catch a show! Intimate venue and the acoustics were great! I definitely would see another concert there!”

“I ordered food through Uber eats and mentioned I was pregnant and needed extra pickles. not only did I get extra pickles but also a slice of cheesecake! food is excellent and service is top notch.”

“It's hard to beat locally roasted coffee brewed and served by staff who know what they're doing and love it as much as you do. I have a Rising Star coffee subscription but that doesn't stop me from popping in when I'm nearby for a fresh drip and a pastry from Blackbird. So grateful to have such good local coffee available!”

“Great cake!, very delicious and colorful!”

“Very helpful in helping with choosing a tea as a newbie. Lots of teas and related merchandise. At that time there were a few stools to sit at . Next to Alladin's on Detroit Ave.”

“Great location to enjoy a botanical tea, I tried the white and later I had a red. Both worked as expected. Glad to see Sacred Waters in Cleveland, I will be back again.”

“So happy this place exists. Perfect spot in Lakewood for a new hip restaurant. Food and drinks are great! They offer a variety of choices on their menu. The pizza is so yummy. I couldn’t talk enough about how great the service is. They are so attentive and really want every guest to have the best experience possible. You can tell they put heart into their food and the overall experience of dining there. Can’t wait to go back to try more!”

“Effortlessly trendy but unpretentious bar to chill and grab a drink at after work. Great variety of self serve drinks, I was impressed w the NA options like kombucha and cold brew. Friendly regulars, employees, and owner make you feel at home immediately! We go for trivia and darts league every Tuesday/Thursday but I'm most impressed with the quality of their Secret Society Comedy night w/ no cover. This place is a Lakewood hidden gem!Parking: Always street parking in front and large parking lot behind with open back door”

“Another one of Cleveland's own, and it's newest location. Only drawback is no taps, which means no soda water, and no Nitro. For a new build out definitely a missed opportunity.”

“After living in France for a year, I developed a taste for fresh baguettes. I tried a lot of different baguettes around Cleveland trying to find one that was comparable to a French bakery. Most fell very short. The closest one I can find is the baguette here from Breadsmith. To be fair, in order to be a perfect match, the crust should be thinner and more delicate. That said, this one is still really good and still the most authentic one I've been able to find in this area.”

“Every dish at Thai Thai is superb! Super fast and friendly! We’re so glad we live in the area and can walk here often !”

“One of the best pizza places I’ve had in such a long time, in fact the best pizza place I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back”

“First time at Hola Tacos and I was very impressed. My daughters had been there before and I joined one of them for dinner. The tacos were excellent and the side dishes were very good as well. The service was great and the wait times were very reasonable. I'll definitely be back.Parking: Careful where you park. Lots of places that look good but they are posted as no parking.”

“was there last Saturday had the best fish fry n pierogi dinner... excellent server and the food was not greasy at all ..I had haddock and pierogi's..the coleslaw was very fresh n tasty as well...I highly recommend the fish fry!! definitely 5 stars*”

“Hosted our Wedding Kickoff at Trellis Rooftop Bar in June 2023.Erin Sipos & team instilled in us such confidence and welcomed our 75 guests with poise, energy, and profesionalism. The culinary team at Eat Me Pizzeria alongside Trellis's bartenders delivered Epicurious delights that complimented the place's modern-yet-elegant, open-air ambiance.Remarkable hospitality and perfect sound volumes, we're PROUD to have supported Cleveland's newest LGBTQ+ destination!See you for the anniversary celebration, @Trellis Rooftop! & @Erin Sipos!Vegetarian options: Great for herbivores & carnivores alike!Parking: Safe parking locations.Wheelchair accessibility: Handi-capable accessible!”

“I was so happy to find this place while visiting Cleveland. Fantastic Mid-East pies. I had the meat and cheese, a spinach and cheese and a zaatar. Don’t judge, I was hungry lol.”

“A place that specializes in making chocolates and chocolate assortments. A variety of chocolate covered nuts, goodies, pretzels, chips, and various other treats. The chocolate itself is smooth with a rich flavor, but not too sugary. Is a great place to pick up holiday treats or if you're in the mood for grabbing an ice cream? I also serve Hershey's ice cream as well. Staff are accommodating and friendly. I have gone back to this place multiple times and it has been consistent with quality, chocolate and overall good atmosphere.Vegetarian options: As far as I can see there was no meat products.”

“The food tasted good. And I had a pleasant interaction with a fellow traveler behind the counter telling them how delighted I was to find out that coconut water mixed well with espresso. I was happy to see the potential in becoming a repeat customer as well. The openess or lack of "stuff" inside the space really drew my attention to the drink. A place to go clear your head and chit chat”

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️”

“I was amongst the first customers of this location when it first opened in 1976. Every time I visit Cleveland (I live near Atlanta, Georgia, today) I always visit this location. Always clean, always great service and always great food!”

“This was our first time ordering from tomori’s. Wings, pizza and pasta were all fantastic! We will be back.”

“Kataplnktiko mpravo George”

“First time back here in about 10 years since I left town and this place is still great. Food was great, service was fast and friendly, and our drinks stayed full.”

“A cool bar with 70s vibes tucked under mahalls bowling. The seating area is small with a few tables and couches. There are also a few seats at the bAr. Would recommend making a reservation as it can fill up quickly. They offer a variety of classic cocktails and signature ones that are very creative. They do not offer any food items. With the bowling alley right next to it and loud music, it was a bit hard to hear conversations but overall a solid spot for drinks.”

“Ya know, the place is great fun. The owner (Rick) is a really great guy. People are fun and I'd rate the experience higher if it weren't for the idiot "manager" (Brandon). This fool discourages and turns away people because he is a racist. Yup! Idiots are still out there. Unfortunately, they let this TOTAL looser run the place because he claims to have info on people in high places. He makes the stuff up! Hand to God's, it is total truth. Have a couple cocktails with friends, when you are on your way out he will call the Lakewood police on you. Instantly ruining your life!!! I KNOW!!! Who pulls that kind of sick move?!?! BRANDON at Corky's on Detroit!!! I know it's the absolute truth! He did it to my best friend.”

“I went to Sauced tonight an hour before they closed. I was served by Alyssa (blue hair) and she was literally so accommodating, nice and overall so helpful. The service was 10/10! I will be back! �”

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!”

“I was recently at the brewery as a wedding guest. The staff nailed everything from service to transitioning the furniture when we accepted being rained out. Their food was delicious and they even offered an option to donate leftovers. They had a very wide selection of drinks (no misses on the menu). Shoutout to Rello and the rest of the crew running the kitchen and bar. If you have an event to plan or cash burning a hole in your pocket, it might as well go to these folks! They're worth every blessing that comes their way.”

“The Root Cafe' is an absolute gem of a vegetarian eatery in Lakewood, Ohio. Five stars across the board. Terrific drink and menu options. Wonderful service. Don't miss a chance to dine here if you're in the area. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: the chefs in the kitchen are able to give your dishes highly nuanced flavor profiles that, depending on dish, can be enhanced by slowly building heat ( just enough ) that give the flavors an extra pop!”

“This is a great place to enjoy good weather and being outside. The food trucks have good variety of options and usually you can find something delicious to eat. Service is great for ordering drinks. Beer selection could be better but also enough variety”

“Not sure what J K’s deal is, but that review couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve been going here for years, bartenders have always been great even when slammed. Perfect vibes, nice Irish bar. Can also order Angelo’s pizza on Mondays and can bring your own food in other days. Definitely come here for the games as they have multiple TVs and the drinks are always flowing!!”

“First time trying this place out. Delicious!!”

“The man that answers the phone is a disembodied spirit from another plain.He is only available to let you know about the flavors you are going to savor as you float down the river Styx. Not everything is available for everyone. Only he knows your sandwhich worth.”

“So far, I’ve had the gyro, a falafel wrap, and grape leaves, all were soooo good! The friendly service just ‘ups’ my opinion, I know I’ll be back to try other eats!!”

“It is a great deli. It was my first time there(I live near the PA border) and the people were so friendly and the food was excellent. Great selection. Cheesecake with fruit was recommended and man was it good. Yummy”

“I have been ordering their pizza quite a bit lately. I really enjoy their pizza, however I did have an issue with one order. I want to say that I messaged them regarding the issue and they politely and readily addressed my issue to more than my satisfaction. I couldn't be more pleased and their food is amazing. I only order from local mom and pop shops. Support local! Thank you, Oscar's and I can assure you of my continued business.”

“Had a great time last night. Aunt Mary heard the servers were very fast and efficient. Always came back and filled her drinks. Didn't have to wait too long for our meal. Everything was great. I ordered the Turkey club. It said that it's supposed to be mile high stacked. But I was a little disappointed because there wasn't much meat. On The turkey club I told the waiter and she did bring more turkey out!Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian options!”

“We stopped in to the Burning River while on vacation for the weekend. While the coffee and tea we had were amazing it was the service that really blew us away. The barista was extremely friendly, went over the menu of specialty drinks with us and even joined us for a little conversation when he had a moment. For the extremely excellent service alone I would recommend the burning river, but let’s not forget about the coffee and tea. It was amazing.”

“Five O Clock is the best place to be. Everybody up here is so great. I've been a regular for 5 years already. Even the owners are awesome. Also very fun live shows during the weekends that I show up to after I get off ”

“This place sits in a non descript strp mall next to Chineese takeout I've been going to for years. Lakewood's best kept secret! And, an INCREDIBLE Bourbon bar! Had my favorite, Blantons. They also have at least 30 others, some of which I've never had. Next time I'm killing time in this part of time, this is where I'm going! Service was fast and friendly, as were the locals at the bar.”

“If you are looking for a really good marguerite, Tierney makes a good one. The food is good, we love the Feta Dip as an appetizer too. The kabobs are delicious.”

“Has a 1950's Chicago rib joint feel. Really outstanding menu and good service. The chef came out to talk about allergen concerns. Great selection of Beers and spirits. All they really have to do is to add full slabs of baby back ribs slow smoked to perfection.”

“Yea Cane's has a solid chicken tender and Hot Chicken Takeover has some good food, but neither of these (or really any other place in Cleveland) can hold a candle to Dave's Hot Chicken. The quality of the chicken is top notch, the flavors/ heat are exceptional, and the sides compliment your meal perfectly. Do yourself a favor - stop wasting time scolling these reviews and go try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.”

“OMG....Been here several times never disappoint, big food and good food. Love the service and the cook is wonderful. Had a Gyro wrap and fries my friend had Western omelet, Homefries and rye. Stop in and say Hi”

“Small hole in the wall with very tasty food. They bag everything to go, but there are some small wooden tables with chairs. I ate inside. Help was friendly and food service was quick. I certainly would go back. Geared for mostly to go orders. I had Pad see ”

“Place is great! The comedy show last night was packed and featured a lot of talented comics. Love the patio too!”

“Great prices. Simple bar with a touch tunes jukebox. Small patio out back. Maybe not the safest place- twice when we came in there was a fight going on, once a physical fight. We saw the same people almost every time. The bartender is a nice guy. This place is right next to my old boyfriends apartment so we went down for late night drinks a lot and half the time it was closed at midnight. Despite its flaws, it was a nice place for me and my boyfriend to sip, talk and not spend a lot. We were always treated nicely by the bartender as well.”

“Entire staff is courteous and professional, good environment. Spiffed things up nicely with the decor and restrooms. Didn't mess around with the games and still makes a mean grape freeze. Will be back for sure!”

“Loved getting pizza from Eat Me Pizzeria on Fourth of July. The person who is checked us out was so friendly and polite. They have the one of the best pizza’s. We got 3 pizza’s that were all exquisite in taste and a soon point in their flavor. We got their Trojan which is like a supreme, but the ones that stole my heart were the spicy pig with the chorizo, pineapple, smoked paprika aioli and red pickled onion. The absolute star of the show was their Danny Boy pizza with the Peach, manchego cheese, basil and balsamic drizzle and honey reduction. The place looks like a dreamland from inside. I’m already craving more of their delish pizza!Vegetarian options: The Danny Boy, Tree Lover, the Basic”

“beautiful. I am very gay. bartender welcomed me. he hugged me and said, "you are loved. you are welcome. you can get slammed here". I did. ten shots of vodka and now I never left. will be back. ask for the Martian mind goo ;)Vegetarian options: vegetarian beerParking: goodWheelchair accessibility: so good I wish I was in a wheelchair”

“Best gyros ever, traditional and chicken!!!”

“My wife ordered the Parm. Crusted Cod, it was cooked perfectly(pictured). You could tell the mash potatoe was fresh made. I ordered the fish and chips, the fish was very tasty and the fries were fresh cut. They were a bit soft. The caper tartar sause was house made, which was also very good.”

“Friendly staff, great tasting food, all at a very reasonable price. Perfect 10/10 experience for my first time. I was able to place my order online through their website, and then I went and picked it up in store. Super great experience, I’ll definitely be coming backParking: There are spots in front of the store, and you can always park on a side road if those are taken”

“Best subs ever. Incredible Dave really does have juicy chicken! Dave's Sauce - very tasty.Not really a dine-in location.Parking: Fifteen minutes free parking at street and adjacent lot meters.”

“It must of been an off night but came for food, and most definitely the fryers needed cleaned as well as the grill. Fresh cut fries were neither fresh, nor cut but instead dark, grease soaked and mushy. Mostly inedible. Burger was like a literal charcoal puck. It tasted awful. Everything just tasted like dirty grill or dirty grease. However, the pickles and other items on the burger were fresh, and I’ve eaten there before and it was great (Cheese curds- yum!) But please, pleeeeease clean your fryers, change the grease, and clean the grill thoroughly! Always have good service there, and karaoke is fun! Just do some cleaning!”

“Nice little no-BS bar. $3.50 draft beers during happy hour (4-8pm) and 69¢ wings on wing night with a solid selection of sauces. Perfect place to sling some beers and catch a game.”

“The Roman Burger is a masterpiece. You are a true Clevelander if you love Roman Burgers. I prefer Roman Burger to Polish Boy as far as Cleveland culinary delicacies go. Awesome staff that works hard and cranks out the food in a hurry! Roman Burgers rule!”

“This is THE BEST BBQ I have ever had! we just tried it because they were on Uber Eats and I don't think I'll ever get another BBQ anywhere. No sauce needed, quality, fall off the bone meats, delicious sides. Don't miss out. Order today!”

“Quick service, tasty food, a wide variety of foods, etc”

“This was our first dinner on our trip to Cleveland and it was perfect! We had two pizzas, a salad, wings, fries, and a giant cookie. Everyone there was so nice and helpful!! The food was fantastic and the pizza was even good the next morning (cold for breakfast).”

“Stopped in yesterday got bread, cupcakes and a snoodle all are delicious.”

“Nice atmosphere and great food and service is good.”

“My only complaint is that they told me it would be ready in 15 minutes and I got there in 20 minutes and they sold it to someone else so I had to wait for them to make again.”

“Small dine-in area & sushi bar. Can't speak to the sushi myself, but the potstickers are the best in town & the Singapore Noodle (mei fun) and curry chicken fried rice are the best on the menu”

“You have to try the chicken paprikash soup. It's delicious! I might suggest a dollop of sour cream to top it off.”

“Excellent food! Great egg rolls!! & Bone in spare ribs are the best I’ve ever had!!! ?”

“Very good food. Service is always friendly but can be slow depending on if you are sitting at the bar or in a booth. Booth food service tends to be really long wait.”

“Me and my SisterFriend decided to give this neighborhood friendly eatery a try… we made a great choice and had a nice time, the food, the drinks the atmosphere was nice and i know I’ll be going back again!”

“great service. we love to go there especially if Sasha. S. IS WORKING . SHE IS THE BEST.. SHE PROVIDES EXCELENTE SERVICE !!!”
