Our server tonight was really nice. Everything came out as ordered. Burgers were really good. Fresh lettuce & tomato. Nice toast on brioche buns. Fried brussels were perfect. Wings had a good crisp. Would probably try a different wing sauce next time. Tried their mango chili. My daughter liked her salad & spaghetti. Do wish they had a kids menu. Blackened chicken pasta, told it wasn’t as good as previous times.

The burgers were very good, and the portion sizes were definitely above average. The beer and alcohol prices are what really make this place a great lunch spot. I do wish there were some better lunch specials, but overall I’d rate everything a solid 4.5/5 and I’m happy to round that up to five stars to support the business.
I’ll definitely be back, especially for the drink discounts. I highly recommend this place as a great pregame spot for anyone heading downtown or planning to bar hop in the area.

Our group had just finished up a showing at valley view Cinemark and someone in our group suggested Tavern of independence. A few of us had never been so we decided to give it a shot.
It was a very quick drive from the theater, when we arrived, parking proved to be slightly challenging for the group as they seem to have closed off a good chunk of the parking lot that serves the restaurant. Once inside the restaurant, we found that we could seat ourselves so we found a group of tables we could combine for our party (after checking with staff that was okay to do)
Our waitress stopped by and got our drink order immediately and made sure she was available if we had any questions about the menu. As an aside, the folds on the menu are quite aggressive and springy and we kept laughing that it required some effort to keep the menu open as you reviewed its contents.
Our group placed our order and our appetizers came out pretty quickly. I ordered the Bavarian pretzel with cinnamon butter and nacho cheese. We also ordered the Reuben bites. Both of these were excellent! The cinnamon butter with the pretzel really hit the spot and was a great blend of flavor. The Reuben bites were essentially stuffed large tater tots, when combined with the dipping sauce, great stuff.
For my main meal, I ordered the apple crunch salad with added chicken breast. The salad was a great portion size and well plated. My only complaint would have been that the apple was cut into some pretty large slices, nothing some quick work with a butter knife could not fix, but it took some effort to make the apples easier to consume in this salad format. Chicken was cooked well and everything paired well with the raspberry vinaigrette I chose.
Overall, our group was very happy with the food and level of service we received. Our waitress topped up beverages quickly and cleared the table of plates and trash often to keep things tidy on the table. It is definitely a place we will come after movie visits in the future for sure for food.

I love the atmosphere. It’s bar/restaurant it’s beautiful. Our waitress was super sweet and our food was absolutely delicious. Ordered way more than I could eat. Food came out beautifully prepared. Next time we’re in Cleveland we will definitely go back. There was so many things on the menu. I wanted to try.

Super cool little dive bar on top of the hill in Columbia Station. Looks bigger on the inside without losing its cozy feel. The server behind the bar wasn’t the most attentive and had trouble remembering drink orders on more than one occasion, but she might’ve been new. I guess the food that comes out of here is pretty good as well, but I didn’t have any. Will definitely return!

Stopped here for some dinner. The place is alright. My boyfriend and I got the spinach and artichoke dip with pita chips, which was really good. My boyfriend got the buffalo mac and cheese, which he enjoyed. I got the chicken paprikash, which was ok at best. My food wasn’t warm compared to my boyfriends, which I tried, and my dish was kind of underwhelming. I love chicken paprikash, but they really don’t know how to make it here. There was no flavor whatsoever, and they didn’t put enough of the sauce and chicken on top of the noodles. I’ve honestly had better chicken paprikash from the deli section of Drug Mart. I think I’d give this place another try and get some kind of bar food instead.

Finally made it here always wanted to go. Stopped in for lunch wasn’t busy when we first got there but then it picked up. Place is very nicely decorated and very clean inside. Our bartender was very nice and had good suggestions on drinks and food. We had the loaded brussel sprouts which were excellent I had the hot mess burger that was perfectly cooked the coleslaw that came with it was great as well. My wife had the BLT it was good the bacon could have been a little less crispy. They have a nice outside patio and outdoor bar as well. We are excited to come back and try different menu items.

Been here a couple times. They have great food and a huge draft selection. Can get a bit pricey but worth it. I got a their 12oz flat iron streak. it was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Decently thick too. Also for loaded tator tats which is a must if you go there. Would recommend to anyone.
