    I don't like Westlake. I will go out there from time to time for Trader Joe's runs or to Gale's Garden Center. When I hear the word Westlake I think of yuppies and rich people that I would not get along with. Dover Gardens gives me hope for Westlake. It is a normal neighborhood bar with friendly bartenders and patrons. Very kind people all around. Met my buddy who was in town for Seattle and had a few drinks and some wings. The wings are top notch and go head to head with any wings around Cleveland.

    Finished the fries and wings with some beer

    Just had mild, dry rub Jamaican jerk wings with Cajun fries and blue cheese. it's up there same level for my love of real wings as comet ping pong in Washington DC. This isn't an oh no review meaning like wtf I'm meaning like wtf because this wing is fucking amazing. Will be returning when I come back to Ohio

    This place always seems to be busy…read more I got an ahi tuna salad ($18.99), which was filling and tasty. The vegetables and slices of tuna were fresh, and the crispy wonton pieces added a nice crunch. I think they went a little overboard with the vinaigrette, but I still happily munched on the salad. I also ordered a sparkling black cherry refresher, which was essentially Topo Chico with black cherry flavor. Refreshing and pleasant enough to drink, but overpriced in my opinion at $6.49, especially since it didn't come with any actual cherries. My server was fantastic. She checked up on me a couple of times and was very friendly.

There is something here for everyone and everything is delicious. We tried the poke nachos which had the perfect balanced flavor and was really good. For our meal we tried the Szechuan Beef Noodles which was nice and spicy with crispy beef which tasted like heaven. We also tried the lobster garlic noodles which were outstanding. I really enjoyed Yard House and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

    Gunselmans is a neighborhood tavern that serves great food. They have a outdoor patio…read more It's been in business since the 1930's. I've had many of the menu items over the years. Everything is awesome! The service is always friendly and attentive. Tonight I had the pierogi melt burger. The bun is 2 large pierogies. It had provolone cheese and grilled onions. It came with peppers and onions on saurkraut. I added mushrooms. Plus it came with a cup of smoky sour cream. It's definitely a place worth checking out. All

    Visited Gunselmans after reading a Reddit post regarding "best burger in Cleveland"…read more I came here seeking a good burger as I was recently disappointed by my experience at Whitey's Tavern in Richfield. This place had a gnarly wait. Front house staff was transparent but kept pushing my party of 2 back. Lent menu was small, a few fish fry options and only one burger on the menu. I ordered the cheeseburger with everything on it. Ketchup mustard onions lettuce tomato American cheese. Burger was large and favorful. In fact you can tell its a really good mix of 80/20 because it was dripping in juices. Fries were crispy and came with just the right amount (and a pleasant surprise of nacho cheese sauce). Burger was well worth the price of only $12 and 25 min drive. I will be back. Hard to get such a good burger with fries at this price. 8.8/10 I do recommend visiting.

    First of all, they know how to brew good beer. Great selection and love just about all of them…read more Anyway, the hostesses are very friendly. The whole dinner experience starts there, so kudos to the seating staff. Food is pub food, so take that in account. It's all pretty good, but nothing amazing there. Still I always enjoy whatever I order. From the one-time that I ordered dessert, I can't say I was impressed. The pie seemed like it is really just some frozen pie bought at the local grocery store, so can't expect anything amazing there. Last trip we ordered the brewed root beer. It came flat and warm, so that alone was disappointing considering it is brewed there. The place is pretty good sized and really loud. Almost enough to make it annoying for some, but I guess that's expected when you have a room full of people drinking beer. Service was decent. Again not great but okay. Takes a while to flag down our waitress, but nothing too crazy long, but if I wasn't drinking beer, I might feel otherwise, so that should be considered. Overall, a pretty decent time every time we go. We have been a handful of times, so clearly we enjoy it and maybe I'm being a little nitpicking in this review. However I return mostly for the beer, and in my opinion, that's enough for me. My wife isn't quite as excited to go since she doesn't drink beer. Anyway, I urge everyone to check it out.
