    Tea
    Larry C.

    Visited the brown Barn for lunch. They were modernist but able to seat us quickly. My wife sipped on tea while we decided on lunch. We started with an order of Bacon Potato Barrels. Fantastic! She got the Honey crispy chicken sandwich and I got the Spicy chicken sandwich. Both were great. The spicy sauce was flavorful but messy. Worth it! We enjoyed the view of the slopes as we ate and it added to the ambiance of the place. Will definitely visit again and sample more of the menu.

    Another birthday dinner, another successful evening with fantastic food and service. Over a dozen trips and have only been disappointed by the wait to get a table. Loaded barrels, burgers, salad, chicken it's all good. Plan ahead and make a call first. It's worth it

    Spicy chicken

    We pushed our luck and just showed up for dinner at 5 pm. Got lucky!!! Sat at the bar. GREAT service and the food was delicious. That pretzel is humongous. The cheese sauce is good but that spicy mustard is wondeful. Spicy chicken wasn't that spicy so if want spice go for hot but it was yummy. Onion rings are good. Companion had fries and the burger with the egg on top (sorry, no picture) and scarfed those down. This is one of the best neighborhood bar/taverns around :) Reservations highly reccomended.

    One of our favorite restaurants. The foods always excellent in the services above par. Friday night they had fish fries, salmon soup instead of chowder, Ahi tuna, and calamari. More options than most restaurants.

    Last week, we headed out to Chardon and made our way to Alpine Valley, where we were treated to some breathtaking views and a delightful meal at the Brown Barn restaurant. With the weather being absolutely perfect, we chose to dine al fresco. The gentle breeze and sunshine created a wonderfully light atmosphere. We loved being on the patio, elevated and gazing over the stunning ski area. Our server was incredibly charming, making the experience even better. We decided to indulge in their Sunday special: BBQ pork ribs that were simply out of this world, along with their refreshing berry salad. For dessert, we couldn't resist the chocolate ganache cake, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic meal. We had such a great time that we signed up for their club! With a spend of $350, you get $25 back--though I may have the details slightly off. Regardless, we're already planning our next visit, especially to try one of those giant pretzels we saw coming out of the kitchen! The vibe was buzzing, and I can't recommend it enough!

    Food is fabulous. But you can't have a conversation with your friends due to the blaring canned music.

    Shocker of the Century: I've never had Dave's Cosmic Subs before my visit the other day. Crazy, I…read moreknow! As a fan of the Coventry shopping center, I had my first experience at the location on Coventry in Cleveland Heights. I had looked at the menu beforehand to plan my choice and landed on the Dave's San Fran sub, regular size. For $9.99, my sub came with Turkey, Capicola, lettuce, tomatoes, cosmic sauce, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and homemade cole slaw. I asked for it without mayo. The staff was a bit incompetent. I don't like to judge and I don't expect the best, finest service everywhere I go, but the lady who took my order and made my sandwich was clearly not familiar with the stores offerings and what was supposed to go on my sandwich. I swear my sandwich would have been made with half the wrong things if I wasn't guiding her. Fortunately, my sandwich ended up being super yummy! I felt like this combination of ingredients made the perfect sandwich for me. However, I think 10 bucks for a small-ish sandwich is way too pricey. They also nickel and dime you for each thing you want to substitute or add. Also, while I find the cosmic sauce very tasty, I didn't want my sandwich to be drenched in it!!

    Dave's Cosmic Subs are truly cosmic. Intergalactically acclaimed by the finest of food critics…read moreamongst the universe. Seriously everybody needs to eat here - absolutely everybody seriously!!!! And I've realized that they not only do they dominate the scene in northern Ohio, they also have locations in LA, Atlanta, and Vermont! So the realest and most true cosmic fans of Dave, can plan vacations accordingly and not change their (cosmic sub all day everyday) diet!! I love you, Dave!

    Visiting Cleveland from California my one must is to visit Dave's Cosmic Subs- it is my favorite…read moresandwich I've had and is super nostalgic for me since I grew up in Cleveland. The University Circle location is probably the one I've been to most often. I heard they were under new management but didn't think much about it since they're all franchises of the Original Chagrin Falls location and even with different owners the quality, in my experience, has been pretty consistent. When we stopped in it looked like the same store I've known and loved over the years and I ordered my two favorites- the Original and the Crazy (the best IMO) We took them to go and I could barely wait to dig in. The first thing I noticed as I unwrapped the Original was there was no pickle- I thought it may have fallen out but after unwrapping both and checking the bag and floor I realized they didn't add them. Was this an oversight or has management 86ed the pickles!? That was a small disappointment for sure. The sandwiches also looked a bit smaller than I remember, and I have a lot of pictures over the years to compare them to- I chalked it up to inflation, a lot of things are getting smaller as they rise in price. Then I bit into it and the crispy bread was just not it. The bread was still good, but not cooked enough. Usually pieces of it flake off as you eat and you get the crispy outside with the fluffy, fresh inside. The juxtaposition of texture is part of what makes these sandwiches my favorite. It was soft bread with the amazing sauce, lettuce, tomato meats and banana peppers on the Original- still tasty but not what I've come to expect over the 25 years I've been eating these subs. The staff was friendly and they have the indoor and outdoor seating still, but they might want to do some quality control on the sandwiches they're sending out to customers. I wish I had time during my visit to stop by the Chagrin Falls location to compare and see if it's franchise wide or just this location. To the business, I hope the undercooked bread and lack of pickles was just an off moment. Please keep the original amazing quality going. To people looking to try Dave's, it's still so delicious and I recommend buying sauce to use at home. I got three bottles to bring back to California and I'll be using it on everything.

    Just the worst!!Employees are rude dismissive and just mean¡You will never hear them say thank you…read moreand have a nice dayThey literally will have there back to rhe customer until you finally say can you please take my order!
