    Black Forest burger & Mushrooms
    Doug H.

    Legit juicy burgers. Homemade-Reminded me of the way mom used to make 'em. Wings were good.

    If you're searching for the perfect sports/dive bar with a great food menu, look no further. I hadn't been here in years, but the new front patio caught my eye, so I decided to give it another shot. After checking out the menu online, I knew we had to try it. We ordered a variety: the BLT on Texas toast, a western burger, chicken tenders, fries, hot wings, Bavarian pretzels, and onion rings--all while catching the Guardians game. Every dish was delicious, and the service was fantastic! I can't wait to return for another BLT.

    I have been coming here for a while now. I've never been disappointed. They have a great back patio that is sadly coming to an end for the season. Tonight I sat inside. Laura was rocking the bar as usual. The food here is always good but the burgers are great. Every place claims to have a great burger but the Black Forest really does. Great meat, hand packed and tonight Will was cooking and the temp and presentation was perfect. Don't let the parking situation discourage you. You are allowed to park at the Lutheran Church lot just east of BF. Ain't been? Check it out.

    Tonight's fare included a perfectly prepared Classic Burger and a side of fries, expertly cooked by chef Joe and served by LiLi.

    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.

    Food and service were really good! I also had a Long Island iced tea which was also really good…read more Food was served hot and quickly

    During my keto days, I used to go to the Beachwood WL all the time to eat some bone in wings when…read morethey were discounted on Mondays. I haven't been back to any WL location in about 3 years since my diet ended however. Well, my bf was in town and we both have never had a clambake dinner so we decided on the Mayfield Heights WL for dinner the Friday he came into town in Oct 2025. It would be my first time having non-keto food at Winking Lizard in a long time. Unsurprisingly, this place was PACKED on a Friday night, thanks to having clam bakes each weekend for the next few weeks. Because they don't take reservations, we waited over an hour for a 2 person table. Fortunately, we could munch on freshly popped popcorn while we waited. I could tell the staff was exasperated by how busy it was. Finally, we were seated but since we got filled up on free popcorn, we decided to share a bbq chicken clambake meal ($26) and then add on one $14 lobster tail to share. We also each got one cocktail- me, a yummy orange fanta dreamsicle boozy delight and him, a fruity mule. Our meal came with a dozen clams, which I did NOT like. So I ate 3 and my bf ate the other 9. Fortunately, the bbq chicken was tender and the sweet potato and cinnamon butter was hot and so so good. The corn, clam chowder, and garlic bread were wolfed down by us as well so we must have enjoyed them. The lobster was a skinny little thing and did not have enough meat to justify being $14. Overall, the food and the terrible wait were a 3.5. They should implement online reservations. My drink was a 5++, and the vibes are a 4. I am glad my bf got to try out this local neighborhood chain but I dont feel like we need to come back for a clam bake ever again. Maybe we will try their tasty looking pizzas next time! And come on a weeknight haha.
