I held my husband’s 40th birthday party in their private event room and could not have been happier with how it turned out!
Harris was a delight to work with. He was responsive with all my questions, offered recommendations for food, and helped personalize our bar menu. He was also our host and bartender the night of the event, and ensured that everybody had a good time.
The food was the best ever. We ordered less than the number of people we invited, and still sent our friends home with tons of leftovers.
The room itself was the perfect place to party. There was plenty of seating and table space, a tv, a bar, a restroom, a porch, and a sound system where we could play our own music all night. I was allowed ample time to decorate the day of the event, and even when the party was over nobody felt rushed out.
Thank you Harris, Chef, and staff for such a memorable night. I can’t wait for my next excuse to throw a party here.

I have absolutely no complaints about this place. We went on a whim. Upon walking into this place, you smell the it leads the way. We sat indoors since it was a bit cool, but the food would’ve heated us up quickly cause we dove in immediately! The pita chips that some with the spinach artichoke dip are AMAZING. Fresh! Crispy! They’re the best I’ve ever had. The spinach artichoke dip was very chunky. Not the way i prefer it, but it was still good. The BBQ pulled pork was finely shredded. I get so tired of getting chunky pulled pork when I order it, so it was very nice to have it shredded to my liking. FYI, I did not ask that they do it. The sauce was so-so, but it didn’t take away from it being good. The ribs literally melted in your mouth. They didn’t give you that “fresh off the grill or smoker” kind of feel but still top-notch. My friend got the brisket & said it was by far the best she has ever had. The Cole slaw is homemade and delicious. Cole slaw is very subjective because everyone has their own take, but #winning. The fries were great. And they give a hefty amount of everything. The pizza looked amazing. It will definitely be ordered next time. Long story short, I will return.

Very nice server. Great prices on food. Nice place to relax. Definitely recommend.
Got the broccoli cheddar soup and felt homey despite the cold weather. Girlfriend got the falafel and she loved it.

Thursday evening 5 p.m. dinners.
My first time. Friend from out of town suggested we meet here. He’s been here on previous occasions.
Sat out on the patio. Very attentive service. Lots of choices on the menu.
I enjoyed the Pulled Pork, Thursday special.
Prices were very reasonable.
Looks like a fun place to be later on in the evening. It was full of life at 5.
I’d return to try other menu items.

A great chill Tavern spot downtown for friends to relax with awesome quality food and wonderful prices. Service is super friendly. Street parking can be tough in busy hours.
Full review:
Quality of food is really delicious and quality. When busy it will take some time to get your food but that is expected. For the prices they are amazing. Waffles were delicious and chicken was not tough. Cheese filled crepes are absolutely amazing.
Ambience is pretty lively and a great place for fam and friends. Would not recommend for kids. Service is super friendly and helpful, but as with anything downtown parking can be tough.
Limited vegan and vegetarian options, but am sure menu items fan be modified. Just ask.

Food was wonderful! Atmosphere was casual and fun. Waiter was very attentive. Plenty of room to sit and eat. Lots of free parking in the back of the building. Greta place to eat, definitely glad we tried it.

The grilled chicken sandwich was fantastic, the staff was nice and got us a table without making a long wait, and got me a shot not quite on the menu. Definitely come here.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted immediately and offered the option to sit at the bar or any open table. Our server brought us waters when he introduced himself, and he explained the menu very well, as we couldn’t decide, and he sold us on their chicken and waffles. The food came super fast despite it being really busy, almost every table and bar seat was taken. Our empty glasses were taken away instantly, drinks refilled quickly and wordlessly. I love watching great servers and bartenders because you can tell they’re working super hard. This guy was carrying four glasses in one hand! Wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

I discovered this great restaurant in 2020 and have been back quite a few times, since then. I’m so glad I found it!
On my first visit, I ordered two slices of pizza with sliced tomatoes. The slices were large and the pizza was excellent. The crust was perfectly cooked, the sauce was well-seasoned, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I also ordered a draft beer and the bartender was very knowledgeable about the beer selection and made a great recommendation.
On a following visit, I was torn between the blackened walleye tacos and the chicken and waffles. I ultimately decided on the chicken and waffles and I was not disappointed. The chicken was perfectly cooked and it was both crispy and juicy. The waffles were light and fluffy and they were served with a delicious maple syrup glaze and some amazing smoked poultry gravy. These have become my favorite chicken and waffles in Northeast Ohio.
I’ve been back multiple times since writing this review, and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. The service is always friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal.
