We went on a Saturday evening around 5pm and ordered…read more cocktails and wings. I've seen other reviews about the wings being too crispy but I thought they were great! I want them to be crispy on the outside with a mouthful of chicken in each bite and they were just that. The lemon pepper sauce was very salty, but I love salt and vinegar chips so I was prepared. This is your typical Irish bar - long bar with 8-10 rectangle tables. We sat at the bar and our bartender/server was very friendly and helpful.

The first warning before the actual review is don't even attempt to come to this bar on a Thursday…read morenight after 7pm. Every John Carroll University student attends this bar at this time. You won't even be able to stand. As for my other visit, it was on a Friday night. A nice sized crowd, full bar. Sports game on the television. A nice atmosphere for a neighborhood bar. A great touch is the 1 pinball machine in the corner. Older game but it does take up something to do with friends. As with service we were told that the bar is extremely behind by a rude bartender named Meg. You can tell she was overwhelmed and just seemed to be having a rough day. A few minutes later we were told by staff that the kitchen was now closed. Pretty strange as the menu is mainly all bar served fried food or burgers etc. The bartender also announced that they were out of fish as well. I continued to order drinks, they were cold and tasted as advertised. About an hour or so later , the kitchen was then re opened when the bar was less crowded. I order a dozen wings, garlic Parmesan with ranch. The wings were real solid. Nice and crispy and the garlic and parm combo was just enough. The basket of fries we got were average fries. Not crispy, nor salty but atleast they were hot. The prices were about average, no complaints about that. Overall, the bar does not seem to handle stress or large crowds very well. My wings were good, fries were average like I said. My friends attend this bar often and did tell me that this bar is not like this usually. May have been a rough day. I assume I will be back again, I wouldn't pick this place to go to but the location is close enough to the area we hang out. Not so much of any certain type of theme at the bar but I did notice the staff recognize many patrons by name so it will continue to be the neighborhood bar for many. Overall a 6.7 out of 10.

I absolutely loved this place. The ambiance is so cozy and welcoming.

On top of that the service was amazing. Our server recommended this hot sauce, May's, which was made by his buddy during Covid and it was better than Franks red hot. Here's what we had: Mushroom Mac & Cheese- 10/10 Blue Cheese Burger- 10/10 Chicken Tenders- 10/10 I'm a big texture person, and these dishes all had a nice mixture of crunch and tenderness to them. If it's late night def go to this place. If it's not late night, still go to this place. Love it!

My buddy and I ordered some pretty basic food items that at the 1 hour mark we asked if they could cancel our order. We ordered a quesadilla and a buffalo chicken wrap. At the 45 minute wait time I asked about it and was told it would be out soon and 15 minutes later I saw the cook grabbing things from the fridge to make our order. Maybe I'm being irrational but I don't think our order should have taken an hour to even start being prepared. When I canceled the order one of the owners was at the bar and didn't even apologize but brought out our fries and gave them to another set of locals at the bar... really c'mon man learn to deal with customer and resolve issues.

There was only three other parties with us and some basic bar music on. We got two drinks an espresso martini and the Amanda's signature mule. Sadly I didn't like either of the drinks, Amanda's shanties tested like raspberry medicine and the espresso martini felt off. The drinks were served to us pretty quickly, I have never seen anyone make drinks so quick!

We went during early dinner so the crowd was slow and it was quiet, but music was playing. This experience makes we want to come back and try more of their options.

And thought this restaurant would work to meet with a couple of friends! We travel with a service dog that is a medical alert dog ! He is small and friendly because he isn't a bomb sniffing military dog! He is a medical alert Alert dog that is the service he provides my husband! Which has saved his life many times! If my husband's blood sugar reaches a critical point he alerts us ! We entered the restaurant happy to be seated on patio with our friends! The front desk stalled to address our presence which gave an elderly woman standing in front of counter opportunity to bend down and pet our dog! Suddenly a smug young woman appeared behind counter, she didn't introduce herself, said that we couldn't eat there with our dog! My husband and I told her he was a Service Dog! She called us liars to our faces ! She said "THATS Not A Service DOG"because he noticed people around him" I guess because he didn't bite the lady that pet him? She didn't even ask what service our dog provides! Which is the only question legally she is supposed to ask! The rudeness of this woman was uwnconsciencable! I'm guessing she was a man'ager of some sort, When my husband said-that patio would be fine! He explained that the other Winking Lizard in North field OH had no problem! She said that "this was a private restaurant and didn't have to accommodate us in anyway " What's next? Will this woman stop allowing people in wheelchairs to be accommodated? I blame owner of this restaurant for his poor hiring choice! Someone who treats people like this shouldn't be working with public! We have traveled all over the country and world with our dog and had to come to Winking Lizard in Mayfield Ohio to be treated like this! My friend with us is a retired attorney and witnessed this and couldn't believe it! This place hires rude people! In all fairness! Because we weren't flying we were on a road trip from Florida ! I didn't have his service vest on him forgot it at home! But I had paperwork on my phone! This woman was insulting and very disrespectful & rude! We took our business elsewhere and if you are disabled in any way or a Vet I wouldn't recommend this restaurant!
