“Food was great. My only complaint would be the Queso. It came to the table luke warm but the flavor was good. The birria torta was great but wish it came with a side of consommé to dip the sandwich in cause it was a little dry but very flavorful. The chili was delicious!“

“Understaffed at the bar on a Friday night. bar server with full bar and she's also serving tables. 15 minutes to get served... and she's also getting drinks for the waitresses... and she didn't have a clue as to why we left... G.M doesn't have a clue either, as you wouldn't allow poor service to exist in your establishment on one of the busiest nights of the week - we took our $165.00 for dinner and drinks elsewhere where service was great ??“

“Went in for dinner with my brother and 2 friends.

“Super fun buzzy atmosphere with Christmas lights strung up on the ceiling. Dinner felt like a party! Loved the fresh sugar cane in each glass for the mojito pitcherVegetarian options: A couple vegetarian dishes, and a veggie modification for many dishes“

“Great food. Friendly staff and inventive drinks. (Hibiscus). They put on fun shows and have theme nights. Sunday brunch. All are welcome here. They do not tolerate idiots which is awesome for everyone else just wanting to have a capitol time. They also give local artists a place to showcase their fine work.“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“My husband and I came on a Friday night around 8pm. It was busy and lively inside. We were told it'd be. 30-45 minute wait but we could wait at the bar. There were actually a couple bar stools open so we just ended up ordering and eating there. Our table actually only took 10 minutes to be available. We did not let our phones eat first lol, hence the bad photos. I got the shrimp basket and side salad. Shrimp was so good and the cocktail sauce tasted like they made it with the perfect amount of horse radish. My husband got the fish and chips. Fish was flaky and tender and the fries were yummy! Even though both items were fried, they didn't feel super greasy or heavy. We loved our meals and would recommend.“

“Great live music, plenty of TVs for whatever sport event you want to watch.Service was extremely friendly and helpful.The food was your normal pizza and wings, however the pizza was gourmet level and the wing sauces were amazing..Highly recommend the chicken bacon ranch pizza!“

“If you have not tried aces depot do your mouth a real favor and go immediately the food was absolutely amazing everything you order is made fresh and in house had passed this bar and grill for many years and never thought to go try it finally did and if I could give 10 stars I absolutely would best food in the area amongst all other restaurants and bars in the area the bartender was absolutely amazing very on top of everything and would educate you on everything they have or that they can make“

“I travel frequently and always search out Indian cuisine. I stumbled across this little place quite by accident, the small parking lot was full so I figured the local people knew something. That’s a serious understatement, this place stands toe to toe with any Indian Restaurant I’ve ever been in, and I frequent Indian Restaurants all over. My work takes me to different areas, so I think I have experience with different cuisines. This place is a real treasure, if I lived closer, I would be a regular. I encouraged the owner to open a branch in my small university town, but he’s got a jewel of a restaurant right here. Take my word for it, hands down one of the best dining experiences anywhere!“

“We ordered the scampi pasta special it was delicious. Our friends got brocollini and spaghetti & meatballs. It was the largest meatballs weve seen. Everyone was happy with food. Bread was yummy too. The restaurant was very welcoming and service was great. I would definitely go back.“

“I live in the neighborhood and love Woody's for the neighborhood bar that it is. There are three solid options for dive bars and drinks in the Triskett and Lakewood Heights area. Those options are Kelley's Pub, Woody's and Casey Jones. They are conveniently located off of the rapid Red Line train so if you are a yuppie living downtown, Ohio City or Tremont, hop on that old train, head west and slum it with some real Clevelanders.“

“After a long exciting day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we needed fuel before our return to Chicago. We googled "food near us", not wanting a chain. The rating was about 4.5 so we decided to try it. Initially I asked the other patrons if food is actually served there, and they pointed to an area where the owner was cooking. He was genuine and warm, we ordered beverages before he returned to the kitchen to finish another customer's food order. My gyros was terrific and flavorful and my husband's club sandwich was also loved. It was clear the French fries were fresh - we are some even though trying to hold up to our resolutions to eat more healthily. One comment mentioned by a previous reviewer, yes it is a bar with a grill and not a restaurant per se. It would be helpful if the ambiance was enhanced a bit so females felt more at home. The bathrooms could use some TLC, and the floor tiles a nail or two to prevent tripping. Looking at it through a new set of eyes is the way to go. Think: date not boy's club and attract a new crowd. Thanks, Stavros/Steve.“

“Authentic Taiwanese food which is a rare find in the area! The Taiwanese Yan Su Chicken was really delicious. The dang dang noodle and spicy beef noodle were just like what you would get in Taiwan. The chef and staff were very friendly and the dining area was clean and comfortable.“

“Ordered Cauliflower Crust with Red Sauce, No Cheese and Veggies. It was really good and the crust was awesome. A good delight before I start a detox ?Vegetarian options: Fresh. Although pineapples were not sweet but it was okay. The only downside.Dietary restrictions: No cheese. Honored my request with no issues“

“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“

“We love stino. Only cash or check. There is a cash machine in the restaurant. It is some of the best italian on the west side. We have been multiple times, and the eggplant and chicken are all great and dessert and a gluten-free dessert, too. And they have decaf cappuchino. The food is great and is a reasonable price for white table cloth style. You can come as you are, don't need suit or dress.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Had such a fabulous dinner for 9 people (including 1 toddler) and everyone loved their meals. Our server Gwen was WONDERFUL-- friendly, fun, efficient, and helpful. We ordered a variety of choices-- Chicken entree, Lobster cakes, Mussels, Ahi Tuna-- everything was delicious! Deserts (Creme Brûlée, flourless choc cake, etc) also delish. VERY good value for a lovely restaurant with terrific food and great service.“

“Taki's is great, but it is pretty difficult as a celiac! I did not even make it through dinner..... That said, our server was wonderful, and did her best. My gyro-connoisseur husband liked, but did not love the gyro. The pita bread looked amazing, and I was told it was. I had the kitchen salad with grilled chicken, which was juicy and flavorful. Taki's is very popular and busy, and the staff is great, especially the bartenders. Give it a try!!!“

“My Wife and I went to Mahle's Friday the 22nd for our 38th wedding anniversary. because we were eating early we didn't think we would need reservations but upon arrival we were told that with the walk-ins they had and the reservations on the books they were full. We mentioned to Beverly that we had traveled a considerable distance, upon hearing that she found us a perfect spot in the corner of the back dining room. And as always the food and service was excellent.“

“Nothing like Close Quarters. I lived in Westlake for 2 years in 97-99. This was my favorite watering hole. The atmosphere was unlike any other place that I have been. I traveled throughout the Great Lakes. You feel like you are home with friends the first time you walk through the doors.“

“One might described the venue as constricted as the dining spaces can be a bit tight. I found it cozy enough navigating the stairs to one of the dining areas on the upper level and sliding into a pew. Yes, a pew. Some of the booth seating has been repurposed from churches. Our server, Anna, who has been recognized from other reviews for her speedy service, was again on point with cheerful and expedient form. Our selections of chicken florentine and eggplant siciliano along with smooth Malbec and Moscato wines were tremendous. The accompanying pasta was perfectly al dente, which is often very hard to find in even the most traditional Italian eateries (mainly because it is precooked to mushiness). Great job and I recommend one gets there early because the place fills up and I can understand why. Would surely make a return trip.“

“Mario was AWESOME!! I was back in town visiting my daughter when i decided to stop in for a drink. He made a point of welcoming me and asking my name. He was engaging and very fun to chat with. The atmosphere was just what I was looking for!! Go see Mario on Monday’s he’ll take great care of you!! I’ll be back Ricky“

“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.“

“This bar is so fun!! I love the concept that you pour your own drinks and pay per oz because I love sampling different stuff and sometimes don't want to be committed to one big or expensive drink. I sampled a fruit beer, a cocktail on tap, and wine! They had games to play and fun music on, and just a super cute atmosphere and decorations. The staff were very helpful and we had a great time!“

“We love to support local restaurants and Bar Nova is one of our favorites! We often get carryout and everything travels so well. It is prepped with care.Parking: There is limited parking right near the restaurant, but there is a large lot not far away.“

“The Food was Great & the Server was Awesome. Nice and Attentive Helpful etc. Atmosphere was Very Quite & laid back. The food was Hot . That's a Plus. All & All A one service and Food. You will definitely love it. Hat's off to the Cook??? ❤️.Dietary restrictions: Well!! I chose the Turkey burger ?.

That was very Sweet of her .Wheelchair accessibility: It's close to the Door & not any Stairs to climb . One Floor only.“

“Tried Harry Buffalo while in town for a work trip. The Buffalo chicken egg rolls were really good with the dipping sauce. I personally wasn't crazy about the wings. They were ok but I've had alot better, but I think I would eat it again.“

“Food was delicious. I had the spinach dip and the philly cheese steak. The beer was cold and they had a lot of local options. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very personable and attentive. I was there for the solar eclipse and made several friends at the bar with my extra eclipse glasses. Would definitely recommend visiting here.“

“The food here is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS- try the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken with the pink sauce - it's divine!! The mozerella sticks have an amazing cheese pull and their marinara is so good my mouth is watering as I type this review ?“

“Great service with a smile and the food was very good. Had the perch fish sandwich, for fresh water fish was tasty the batter was crispy and quite good. The house cut fresh fries are good and the buttermilk ranch also good.Vegetarian options: Had a veggie burger, quesadilla, soup and salads available for vegetariansParking: If the parking lot is full the restaurant would be packed.“

“I hate leaving outstanding reviews anymore, only because the place starts getting overwhelmed, the staff gets burnt out, and conditions seem to get worse. This place very much deserves the risk of that outstanding and 5-star review. Kudos to those that run it. I would only hope that expansion is in the future to ease what's to follow from its success. I've found this establishment to be awesome. (imho)Thank ya'll!-rp“

“Nice little local bar on the edge of n. Ridgeville. Affordable food and drink. Amazing how many options that are available to eat and drink here. They are keeping it simple which I really like. Mitch was our bartender and was very friendly. I will be going back to this little gem. It is very small and cozy. Thanks!Parking: Not a ton of parking but is adequate“

“Came here a few weeks ago before a show. Had the pleasure of sitting on the patio during a beautiful day. Our waitress was a sweetheart. The food was all soooooo good! My friend is vegetarian and loved all the available options! Definitely plan on going back and trying more food!“

“Chris was definitely the highlight of our experience! Took my 3 grandkids ages 8-11 and he was so personable and made going out to dinner fun for them! Don't get out to that area often but definitely planning to be there October 2nd! Thank you Chris for your outstanding service!“

“I've traveled all across the country and been to hundreds of dives and The Islander is hands down my favorite place to go. The food is great, the steaks are done perfectly and the staff are all very sweet and attentive, even when it's at full capacity. Coco, thank you for the warm welcome the first night I came in there. Brooklyn, Kate and Amanda, y'all made the best team and a great environment on New Year's, the rest of the staff that I don't recall all of your names, all of you have made this the best place ever. To the local crowd, thank you for making a complete stranger feel very welcome and included. If you're new in town, stop in, you'll find many new friends!“

“Are you on the way to the airport and want to take the edge off? Stop here before you blow $100 at Sammy's airport bar! Keep that money for your vacation! Nice little out of the way dive bar with friendly locals. It is dog friendly! Just as long as your dog ain't angry!“

“Kat was our server and did an excellent job. In our party, some ordered sushi rolls, hibachi and sashimi. Everything was very tasty. They even brought out some samples of other sushi rolls for us to try. We went during lunch, and there is a nice variety of specials offered. We would eat there again.“

“The service was great and the food was amazing! They make their bread inhouse and everything was super fresh. This was our first visit and Stephanie our server was very helpful and nice. We will definitely be back often.Vegetarian options: You can change the burgers for veggie patties and they have other options as well!“
