Had a great meal at Fisher's! Great vibe and music if you are close or visiting the national nearby! Service was great, efficient and genuine. Food was really tasty - had the fish n chips, wings and lavender spritz. All good! Local beers on tap and a good selection! read more

Stopped at Fishers Cafe this week for a couple of beers and some food. They have a good selection of IPAs at $7 for a pint and $9 for a 22 oz. The fish was average size and served on a Po Boy bun. Onion rings are great but not too many of them. A friend and I meet once a month for lunch and it's always good. Service and atmosphere are good. read more

Everything here is designed to offer fast service to the many Park visitors, and with that in mind, they rated 4 stars. This restaurant is approximately midway in the stretch of the Cuyahoga National Park, so it was very busy on a Saturday morning. We were able to find outside seating in the shade, which was enjoyable. The team of servers were working well together, I think they are used to large quantities of people! The meal was simple, the ingredients were basic, and the service was fast - all designed to move people in and out quickly. They had a large parking area to accommodate the crowd which was great! If you get a chance, take a walk to the bathroom and look at the photos and memorabilia on the walls. The was a sweet framing of an old time, 1-page telephone directory. The bottom right corner was something to giggle about. read more

Cute place probably a great spot in the summer sitting outside. I got the fish and chips and was disappointed. The breading too thick and gummy. I ate the fish without breading it was good as were the fries. Maybe just a bad night? read more

Went here for a business meeting and the service was great. Food was also great. We got the lunch special quesadillas as well as a Philly steak and Swiss sandwich. The only thing I didn't care for was the horseradish or wasabi mayonnaise but that's a personal preference. I would preferred straight mayonnaise. The eggplant fries were epic! Out of all the wings that we had the Thai chili was the best. Then the garlic and the buttermilk ranch were my least favorite. Deviled eggs were uniquely put on top of a bread and butter pickle and had some nice hot pepper jelly on top. Very creative and tasted great. read more

Ordered a Santa Fe salad and some wings. The salad was nothing more than a bagged mixture, half of a chicken breast and corn and beans. No appeal to it, I could do better making one myself at home. Service was prompt. Not sure what I would order if I went back. Burgers looked good at other tables but I didn't want anything that heavy. Food seemed eh that day. Glad there wasn't a wait for a table. read more

This cafe in a ramshackle gathering of buildings is a great option in Peninsula. People were gathering for the clambakes, but as a native Long Island girl, I thought Peninsula a little too far from the shore to venture down that critique. Instead I reached for the pig, in this case a pulled pork number that delighted my tongue with texture and a tangy sauce. Mom ordered her typical litmus test for a new joint, the patty melt and was satisfied. Service was a little slow with what appeared to be kitchen issues but hey, we all have an off day. The food was worth the wait. read more

Updating my review. After my initial visit, I've been back a couple of times. I find myself looking for a reason to come out or meet a friend here. Great fries, we also had the fried mushrooms (a bit expensive). The burgers are amazing! And as always, the fries are phenomenal! read more

We were largely ignored by waitstaff after being seated. Neither our waiter, nor any other waiter we tried to flag down seemed very eager to help us. We sat longer waiting for our check than we did waiting for our food. Even when I went to the host stand to ask for a check, they said our waiter would handle it, and we still had to wait for a long time. very poor service read more

A couple weeks late on this review due to vacation. Atmosphere: My partner and I stopped here on our way back home from visiting my family in Brunswick Hills. The atmosphere was POPPIN'! It was a beautiful day and walking up, there were a ton of people sitting outside, the grill was going and the air was filled with laughter and summer vibes. The inside was just as busy. We opted for a seat at the bar so we weren't too too crowded. Food: At first, we were literally just stopping to have a shot after the family get-together. But then the bartender mentioned that they were grilling ribs and I couldn't help myself. We got our shot of whiskey and ordered a half rack of ribs to share (we had hamburgers and hotdogs a few hours before). The ribs came out, great presentation. My partner did not care too much for the rub on the ribs, But I found them to be delicious. In my opinion, they could have been a little more "fall-off-the-bone" but they probably can't do a "low and slow" on their ribs with a packed house. Also, if they hadn't been as busy, I would have gotten some sweet treats to go but they were nearly out of everything because of how busy they were. No fault to them. The thing that got me teetering between a 3 and a 4 star review was the fact that I was completely unaware that my ONE SHOT of whiskey was going to be just as much as our plate of ribs. I am not even joking. I asked the bartender and he said "yeah, the owner really charges a lot for the bourbon". Honestly ridiculous. Overall: I would say that because of the ambiance and yummy food, we would be excited to go back but geez, I like having a stiff drink with my means and if I am paying the same for a shot of whiskey as I am a whole plate of food, that just doesn't make sense to me. We would have to go there and just have food with nothing to drink or go someplace else. Although we would LOVE to try some of the delicious sounding dishes, we may just have to try some of the other local haunts. read more

Fisher's is a great spot for a quick lunch in the heart of Peninsula. I like most things on the menu, and it's perfect right after a hike or a bike ride. This time, I got the Prime rib and Onions and mushrooms sandwich (pub style) and a cup of the chicken noodle soup. They were both filling and tasty. And not too expensive! Service is great too. read more

They have a real nice patio. And the menu looked awesome. But unlike a lot of restaurants that are trending towards people's personalities that Allow pets on the patio. This establishment does not allow pets. so they lost not only my business today, but possibly several others. We are sitting across the river at the coffee shop and there's at least eight dogs on the patio. While their owners drink and ate. So that would've been 16 people at the restaurant at probably $20 a a person if not more. This is right by a trail so catering to pet owners would definitely benefit the business. I was excited to try it. Now, if we came back to this area, even without the dogs, I don't know if I would give them my business. read more

Took the CVSR railway up from Akron and stopped in before I began my bike ride. The deviled eggs were delicious and lobster bisque smooth and tasty. The deviled eggs were topped with a honey bacon jam. Definitly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat. Just note that that they stop serving breakast on the weekends at 11 which is the same time the train gets in so youll probably miss bfast if trying to catch it after getting in on the train. read more

Came here before going to the Ledges Overlook for a sunset view before starting the week while traveling for work. I really liked the interior & location bc it makes you feel like you're at a cool diner. I got carry out with the Chicken Tenders & Eggplant Fries. Both may seem like they weren't too much food but it was a perfect amount. The fries were amazing & the wasabi aioli was top notch add. The Chicken Tenders are amazingly lightly battered. The co-worker's of mine who live in the area told me the next day they have amazing wings but i wanted something less messy since I was going to enjoy this at the Ledges. Would definitely go back read more

Came here kind of on the fly after the planned place was closed dod holiday break. Glad I stopped. A bit teased by the lunch menu burgers at 10am, they only had the breakfast page available which was a slight bummer. But ordered the sausage scramble and it was very tasty. Eggs and potatoes cooked nicely. The sausage tasted a bit like frozen links cut in circles which was nothing memorable but paired well in the dish after asking for a side of sour cream. Staff was super friendly and would come back to try the lunch menu. read more

We did a family bike ride and then had lunch at Fishers. I would say it was fine. Not great, not terrible. There was an unfortunate episode where we requested a table out of the sun and they tried to say that someone else who had come in after us was waiting for that table. After that the service was okay. Our food took quite a while and several tables that had sat down after us were served before us. The food was fine. We had some wings as an appetizer which were good. We tried the bbq sauce, teriyaki and parmesean dry rub. The Nashville chicken sandwich was pretty good. The spinach salad was reasonable though the chicken on top had the consistency of having come out of a can. The kids chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese were good for what they were. All in all it was decent but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

PHOTOS ATTACHED BELOW. After hiking some parts of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park with a former co-worker, we decided to go to Fisher's Cafe & Pub for lunch. Since we don't live nearby, we did a quick search online and on Yelp to figure out where to go. SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT -- The service was good and I think the warm weather made everyone generally happy. We waited a little more than expected though to get our food but the restaurant was just very busy that day. The inside is similar to your typical pub with wood seating, dark colours, and dim light which isn't my favourite aesthetic. Since it was summer, my friend and I decided to sit outside. COVID -19 (Coronavirus) -- This restaurant is still open as of July 2020, when I visited. There was plenty of seating outside to physically distance yourself from others. FISH and CHIPS -- I ordered the Fish and Chips ($11.99 price as of July 2020) and it was a generous quantity. It came with a very small side of coleslaw. It tasted fine because I was just really hungry but it was nothing spectacular. It was average fish. I'm very easy to please but I think 4 and 5 star reviews are for really good food including overall experience. A 3/5 star review is fair for Fisher's Cafe. If you live in Cleveland, I would not recommend that you drive here for lunch because the drive is over an hour. If you are hiking at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and you are close to the visitors center then you'll be close enough to go here for lunch. **** - 20/150 total reviews in 2022 - 498 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 12 March 2022 read more

Our server was very attentive. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer. They were different from what we are used to in the South, but they had a good flavor and was very unique having smoked paprika on top and a kosher pickle on the bottom. My friend and I ordered the New York Strip. It had good flavor, but unfortunately was not cooked as we asked at Medium Rare. They were cooked more like well done. I got the eggplant fries and they were sooo good. My husband got the ribs and they were good and tender. The restaurant was clean and a good family atmosphere. read more

I wanted to take my mom out to dinner because we haven't spent quality time one on one in a while. Decided to try this place only for the appetizers to take 40 minutes to come out. Our burgers were also undercooked. Our waitress was also very rude and the bathrooms smelled absolutely horrid. Trying to park was a disaster. Overall had a horrible time wish I never took my mother here. 0/10 wouldn't recommend. read more

Cute place on the main strip in Peninsula, just outside the hiking trails and across the street from the Winking Lizard. They have a parking lot and ample seating, both indoor and outdoor. We sat outside on a busy Saturday afternoon and got right in. The food is what you expect at a pub, nothing special or fancy but they have a good variety. Service was fast and friendly and the four of us were reasonably pleased with our meals (three burgers and a salad). The fries were my favorite! Worth a stop if you're hungry after a good hike or bike ride. read more

First of all I'd like to mention that I grew up in the area and have been enjoying this Cafe and Pub since 1958 when I had the pleasure of meeting "Grandpa George " who was very personable and friendly! I had several relatives from Texas in town and we decided to go to Fisher's for a late lunch the next day . I looked at Fisher's Web site and saw they have several Igloos that you can reserve for a two hour period for a minimal reservation fee, which I did ! Wow ! What an AWESOME " Memory Making " experience that was totally unexpected ! It was 11 degrees outside and snowy which made the AMBIANCE of the setting Amazing !!! Our table accommodated six people but there were only five in our party. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted and immediately taken to our Igloo ! Our waitress Caroline W. throughly explained the functionality of the door, heaters and window ! She then took our order for drinks and appetizers which were promptly prepared superbly and served ! We ordered our lunch entrees which again were quickly prepared perfectly and served ! Myself and my guests were all elated with the excellent quality of our meals and drinks and especially Caroline 's attentive service which she so graciously provided!!!!! What a wonderful Idea to have these Igloos ! I highly recommend Fisher's for their great food and drinks and ESPECIALLY their IGLOOS!!!!! I would like to THANK EVERYONE at FISHER'S who helped make our MEMORY ! read more

Fisher's Cafe & Pub - Vegetable hummus wrap with eggplant fries - Pubs Near Me - Peninsula, Ohio

SERVICE: 2 FOOD QUALITY: 2 DRINK QUALITY: 4 ORDER TIME: 3 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 3.71 So where do we start. We chose this place because it's parking lot was packed full of cars. Figured it was the go to spot in town. The restaurant has tons of seating so we didn't have to wait for a table. We actually requested to sit outside at the bar which had a wonderful tiki/Caribbean theme. The service wasn't wonderful. The bartender was absent for most our time there which made sense as to why the counter tops were sticky. The menu selection is very large, and has many options. They all looked good, and it was very hard to choose. Naturally I went with the chicken sandwich though. I chose the nashville hot chicken sandwich. I was a little saddened by my choice. The bun was cold, and the nashville sauce was nothing like nashville hot sauce. I only wound up eating half of it. Thankfully, I ordered boneless wings too. They were pretty good. We had the local beer, and while it's not as good as Grand Rapids beer it hit the spot. I wanted a second, but the lack of our bartender stopped that idea. Overall, this place has average food/drink and below average service. Sadly, this place could be a solid 4 or even 5 star with just the service aspect. A present bartender, and a little cleaning goes a long way. read more
