Worst service ever! Waited in line to be seated, people walked in the door and sat down in front of us, there's no sign saying wait to be seated, unfriendly staff, no apologies for service, had to point out a table to be seated at that held group of five, waited 5 minutes for anyone to ask for our drink order, decided to leave while waiting for drinks that took forever. The table that cut in front of us were already sipping their drinks, ridiculous! Stopped by manager to let him know we were leaving he just said "ok" really??? I guess a party of five wasn't worth the $, we will never be back, and will definitely spread the word, since we have lived in Evansville our whole life, news will travel fast, Get it together Cleavers! read more

REVIEW: Cleaver's Prime Sandwiches and Salads - I went in for a pork loin sandwich which I absolutely love and have had many times from here. This time however I was waiting on my sandwich when I realized I was charged $.10 for something. Upon asking the young lady at the register, I was informed that I was charged for the mayo. She said anything added to the sandwich they are supposed to charge for it. I asked her if I would have put ketchup on it it would have been a dime and she said "No, not ketchup", I asked about mustard and she said "No, not mustard either". I clarified that only mayo was extra and she said "yes, I guess so". I then asked to speak to the manager and she went to get him. She returned and simply said "We will give you your dime back". I said not to bother. The manager never bothered to come out as I requested. I didn't ask for my dime back, I asked to speak with the manager. There was no one in the restaurant and they were not that busy in the back as best as I could tell (in fact I saw the manager walking around in the back moments before). After receiving my food I walked outside and decided as much as I really loved that sandwich, I was really aggravated by the lack of service, respect and the policy itself. I returned the food and left. I didn't even ask for my money back because I figured if they responded the way they did already and the fact that they had an actual 'mayo extra' policy, I doubt they would have given me my money back on a perfectly good sandwich. By the way, I had never been charged before for this (or at least I thought I hadn't). I have been into this restaurant on many occasions, brought groups in there, picked up orders for meetings for several groups, clients, meetings and such. They lost my business and I wonder how many more incidents they will need before they realize their issues. I always wondered why this restaurant always seems empty every time I drive by as it is in such a prominent location. Now I may know why. The irony is that I approached the owner when they opened up about working together for some marketing and promotion as I loved their food and wanted to see them succeed. I have had extensive experience in the restaurant field and travel quite a bit and have experienced many, many restaurants and I have never seen or heard of a policy like this in my life. First rule to remember... CUSTOMER SERVICE RULES! Great sandwich, poor service, bad policies and lack of courtesy. I was a big cheerleader and promoter for this restaurant and now they not only lost my personal business, they have also lost my wife's company's business, my company and my client's company's business and any other group or organization I support, work with or participate with if I have anything to say about it. Let's see how much impact one person or group can have on a business that treats their business and disrespects their customers like this. Some will say I am overreacting, and maybe I am, but I am sure most will admit this is a crazy policy and they should have at least handled it in a more professional way. I am tired of businesses 'nickel & diming' consumers for all the little 'extras' and hoping we won't notice as they siphon off our money a little at a time like with our phone and cable bills, credit card companies, banks and now restaurants. $2 dollars here, $5 there and now $.10 for mayo. Enough is enough. Hopefully others will take a stand when things like this happen and maybe businesses will begin to respect their customers. read more

Food was excellent, but really SLOW service. There were only 2 other tables occupied when we went. One had their food already, the other walked out because of the wait. Still with 5 people cooking in the back our lunch special fish and sausage sandwich took 35 minutes to be served. I would hate to go there when they were actually busy. Again, food was excellent, but service was terrible. We will NEVER go back. read more

Not a very good place to eat if you are a picky eater or a vegetarian. If you are eating healthy then this is not your place.

Love the food here, wish breakfast was every day. Always good service and clean restrooms.

Heard that breakfast was amazing here. Cleavers did not disappoint. Great food. Great service. Affordable. The wait staff was spot on and the jalapeños were spread out evenly and cooked into the omelette. Yum! read more

Today was our first visit visit in about a year (since they've changed from counter to table service). We both got Gyro's (one regular, one chicken). The menu said the chicken was only $1 more when we got our bill it was $2 more. When we asked the waitress she said 'the menu is wrong, I'm supposed to mention it'. Didn't appreciate that, feel like they should have only charged the menu price. Didn't like their Tzatziki sauce. It is typically made with yogurt & their version is made with sour cream--nasty. If I ordered it again, I would get it without. The waitress seemed rushed, only asked if our 'sandwiches were good' as she was zipping by our table. Today we were reminded why we haven't been there in a year...the acoustics are lousy, it's hard to carry on a conversation because it's so loud with the 'open' ceilings. read more

Was a little nervous going here the first time. Had seen some negative reviews but don't be fooled this place is okay. They have big meaty portions. I had a gyro and never in my life I have I found myself saying wow this almost has "too much" meat on it! It was packed with meat, big hearty portion and it was good. People at our table had a double cheeseburger and wow it was like a whole dang pound of meat...big hearty portion and the bun was great. Warm and soft. The chicken sandwich was also big and very flavorful and not too dry. The tenderloin plate was no greasy and was a nice size as well. Very satisfied with all the items and service was prompt. Had Italian dressing with my side salad and it might have even be homemade or at least a step up from some cheaper dressings. It was very flavorful. Would definitely come back here. Breakfast yea if it happens it works out to be around here then....yea breakfast sounds like it might be darn good read more
