    I went around noon for lunch. In Tuesday taco night. Yummy!! Street corn dip is soooo good and I got a mini taco filled to brim!

    Better than average dive bar food. Wait staff is super friendly, eating area is clean. Bathrooms not so much. Don't order mixed drinks as they are no bueno. Nice selection of dive bar beer and wine choices. Food is pretty darn good. Burgers and wings are great, fries better than average. I had a jalapeño grilled cheese that wasn't different and great! Gooey greatness, give this sandwich a try.

    Trying to find great wings is difficult. This place... was not it. While the wing size was generous, the sauces were not special. We order two 30 piece platters with a variety of sauces including the sriracha, sweet chili, buffalo and sweet heat (sorry, I can't remember the rest). The only one I truly enjoyed was the sweet heat and even then, I wasn't impressed. The chips, however, were on point! Whoever would have thought CHIPS would be the side to get? If I was just reviewing the wings, I would give the bar a 4. The service, however, was a little slow. Took a good while to receive our meal and checks. Do not get wrong... the bar tender was very kind and helpful. Give this place a try, if you're in the area. It is worth the look! But do not go out of your way.

    Tater skins

    I haven't been to Cleats in years and a cousin suggested that we visit for some wings and beer. So off we went. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated at a high top table. There was a good crowd within and music was playing. Since my cousin worked at Cleats for a few years, she knew people that worked there. As an appetizer, we ordered buffalo chicken dip along with some stuffed potato skins. The appetizers were delivered quickly and they were very tasty. The buffalo chicken dip was good, but we eat it at home often, so I was not impressed with it. The stuffed potato skins were really tasty with cheese, bacon, chives, and sour cream on the side. For dinner, my cousin's boyfriend and I split 20 Lake Erie smoked chicken wings. These wings had a dry rub and were ordered "extra dry". They were served with home made potato chips and we asked for melted cheese dip to accommodate them, which was delicious. The home made potato chips were crispy, salty, and perfect, especially when accompanied by cheese dip. The dry chicken wings were very tasty. Between the two of us dudes, we did not polish off all the chips or wings. My 22 oz. Yuengling was only $3.50. That's a deal where I come from! Our server was very friendly and attentive. Great bar!

    Mild wings

    This review is purely for the wings. Discussing local wings and my father in law recommended stopping by here. We ordered some wings to go and I was very impressed. Very nice mild sauce, which did not need any fancy flavors for the wings. The wings had a good amount of heat and were fried to an appropriate crispiness. I was also excited to see Labatt Blue on draft, the perfect brew to wash down some wings. This is definitely somewhere we will return for wings, and am looking forward to trying some of the other bar food on the menu.

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap is also amazing.

    The best of the best when it comes to neighborhood watering holes. I live out of town now but am always at Cleats when I visit home. The Lake Erie Island Smoke wings cause cravings unlike any I've ever had before. It's obvious that the staff is taking every precaution to keep their guests safe, whether it be from constant sanitizing or the partitions in between tables. All in all, a great experience and I'll definitely be back.

    Receipt of meal

    Cleats is not what it used to be. I remember coming here years ago and their food was pretty good, definitely above average. My wife and I have been here two separate times in the last 2 months since we moved closer. The first time we didn't have a good experience, but figured we give it another try. Both times we went, the food was not good and extremely overpriced. The waitresses were not friendly. Do NOT get the WINGS! We went for the wings because they used to be good and everyone always raves about them. They also used to be A LOT bigger than the last two times we went. We asked for extra crispy both times and they were far from it. The sauces were not good and could tell they were from some bottle that had probably been sitting in the kitchen for months. They were also pretty small and cost $16.50 for a dozen!!! Almost $1.50 a wing and they were bad... On the website it said they were $10.99.. We also got fries that were average, nothing special. And, the pretzels with cheese which was pretty good, but just the basic box of frozen pretzels that you can get from any store and then deep fried. The waitress, did not tell us anything about the specials for the day which was half off pizzas, which we might have gotten if we had known. It didn't say anything about the specials on the menu. The only reason we found out was because it said it on the receipt when we went to pay. Beers were also a little expensive and there weren't many options for craft beers. Overall, we will not be back. We gave it a couple chances and were extremely let down both times. Don't waste your money going here when there are plenty of better and cheaper places close by.

The sauce on the steak was very sweet, and I had to scrape most of it off, which wasn't a big deal, but otherwise the meal was delicious.

Very tasty and well prepared, she was happy and had plenty of leftovers. I recently enjoyed their NY Strip, cooked perfectly to medium rare with sides of asparagus and mushroom risotto. Delicious! We're been there many times but have never tried dessert because the meals are so filling. Drink menu is very good with plenty of wines and beer plus a full bar. Call ahead if at dinner times as the place fills up especially on weekends.
