The best burger in Cleveland like... hands down. This is a dive bar but man is the food there…read moreamazing. When you pull up it looks like a dive from the 1960's or a small Soviet bloc, not many windows and just a square little building, but you come inside and the people are inviting and friendly and the food is out of this world. I got the smash burger onion rings and some loaded tots and it was delicious. Their toilet has an awesome Andrew Warhol version of Misney there which is just a chefs kiss added touch to this place. 5 stars hands down

We were in the mood for a good burger and we saw that this place had been voted "Best Burger in…read moreCleveland!" So we figured we'd try it out! If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.

I heard about this place a long time ago, and then I forgot about it. Recently, I went looking for…read morea new burger to try, saw the name Doinks, and said, "OH, YEAHHHHH!" Off we went. When we opened the door, I immediately knew I'd love the fries. You could smell the delicious fry smell right away, and I wasn't wrong. Some of the best french fries I've ever had. The burger was great too! My wife got onion rings as a side, and I was like, "Are you nuts?! These fries are going to be so good!" The rings were fantastic though. Solid snap on the onion, which didn't slide out of the breading when I bit down. The service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant itself was clean as a whistle in the very cool Waterloo Arts District, just down the street from Beachland Ballroom. While walking to the car, we agreed that Doinks needed to be a regular date night stop. Killer burger spot.

We braved the cold to sit in Doinks Burger Joint and we had a great time! We arrived during happy…read morehour, so I decided to try the burger and bacon cheddar fries offered on the happy hour menu. The burger was a single smashed patty that tasted fresh and was not greasy at all. The fries paired really well with the burger. They were topped with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions. Soooo good! We also tried the side of spicy pickles which were a great side dish. They tasted very fresh and were not too strong with vinegar or sweetness, if that's your preference. The margarita was simple but refreshing. Shout out to the bartender for his craft! My only critique was on the ube cheesecake. The flavor was delicious! Had a subtle vanilla flavor and the texture was great. It just tasted like it had been sitting uncovered in the fridge maybe? Other than that we had a great time and loved the atmosphere. The neighborhood is so nice and it's great to see local spots like this adding some charm. I'll be back!

Overall, I've had their food once, it was pretty mid. Firstly their number on Maps is not right you…read morehave to google the right number. Secondly , their hours of operations used to be valid but as of recently they have been closing their kitchen between 12-2:00am (majority of the time 12:00am tho) they pick and chose when to close the kitchen. I was told once I finally got in contact with someone that they close the kitchen at different times everyday based off of clientele and sales. I hate bars that say they sell food late night and don't. They are increasing getting worse at customer service sadly.

I've never experienced a bar with such attentive employees before. We didn't have time to eat beforehand and I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety offered on their menu. Andrew ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza and I had the Taco Burger in wrap form. The pizza was one of the best we've had in the past 4 years and Andrew put it in his top 3. My wrap was a little too meaty for my taste since it had taco meat and a burger. I considered asking for the patty on the side, but I felt that was an awkward request. Everything was phenomenal and came out pretty quick! Andrew ordered a tall boy, which was the tallest one either of us had ever seen, and I ordered two mixed drinks. I was pleasantly surprised our bill only came to $41. There was a crowd, but it wasn't overcrowded. Everyone was dancing and having a fun time. We are so excited we found this place and can't wait to come back!

They were helpful and definitely put us in a relaxed mood. I had a lot of questions regarding the menu, but was helped in a kind and patient manner. I ordered the sheet tray nachos, a vegetarian version of the sheet tray nachos, the fries, and the pierogi blt tacos. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was tasty. My favorite were the pierogi blt tacos. How genius is it to cut open a potato pierogi and stuff it... So. Brilliant. The outside was crispy and the inside was warm and soft. The crispy bacon was the key ingredient, but the lettuce and tomato really completed the 'familiar flavors' and added texture I will definitely be back to try more food!
