Food was good, service was ok - but honestly this was the first time I have been asked to leave a restaurant to seat another group! From the time we sat down until the time we were asked to leave was 1 1/2 hours. We were winding down our visit with the couple that we were with but in the many years that I have dined out - this was a first! read more

A little pricey but good quality food. Calamari is amazing and great selection of drinks. Atmosphere is on point.

This is a unique and wonderful place to eat - Classic Cleveland meets edgy steam punk for what this Elyria, Ohio restaurant is calling the Foundry Kitchen and Bar. My lady (the Wife) had Chicken and Waffles - Belgium Waffle cooked perfectly, moist and fresh, with sweet and savory syrup and sriracha sauce. The chicken was juicy but seemed a little over-cooked a few sectioned overcome with darkened char. I enjoyed the Chef Special loaded grilled cheese w/ a chili - perfectly cooked with accompaniments if tomato, cheeses and bacon. The chili was down-right amazing. Our service was overall a very well appointed experience with a courteous and friendly waiter. I would definitively recommend this place if you ever find yourself near Elyria, Oh - it's even worth a detour of of I-90 / I-480 / I-80 if you pass by Elyria, OH. Check it out - it's well worth it. read more

We tried Foundry for the first time tonight after hearing rave reviews about the food and we were not disappointed! The menu had a wide variety of options including burgers, pizza, and pasta and it's all made from scratch by a skilled chef. They had a large beer list as well! The environment is pretty noisy on a Friday night so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are trying to hold a conversation or happen to be looking for a quiet date night out. For our appetizer, we ordered the chips and dip (yep we are simple). The sour cream/onion dip was made was very tasty, but maybe a little warm for my taste. The portion size was huge which was really nice! I ordered the bacon mac which came in a personal skillet and the hubby ordered short ribs and gnocchi. Both dishes were out of this world! So glad to see some revival in the downtown Elyria area. I hope good businesses such as this start to lift up this neighborhood again. read more

Great place to eat in downtown Elyria. The decor captures some of the history of the town while creating an inviting atmosphere coupled with delicious food! We have eaten here multiple times and have found the service is always good. Definitely worth the trip downtown! read more

We don't have lots and lots of choices in Elyria, but this is a good one when you make it. First of all A+ to whomever decorated it, it's an awesome reflection of the blue-collar background of this community. Secondly, fantastic wide ranging drink menu. And finally the food, which is not going to be gourmet, but it's going to be some good every day burger or dish that you might enjoy throughout your life. Nice place to gather with friends. read more

Service always takes a really long time here, so don't go here if you're in a hurry. Food is always good, and service is always friendly; it just takes a long time for your order to come out. read more

Excellent menu and and above average drinks. Service is always excellent. Will continue to visit the FKB

I really appreciate the atmosphere here, but all other components are lacking. I've been here a handful of times & enjoy the menu except they lack the full on dining service I expect. Kitchen is slow & Doesn't seem to get orders correct. Staff is not synchronized. I get it you are not my server but my empty plates are cluttering my table you've walked by me twice you can simply take one for the team & grab my empty dish. Acts of kindness reflect your business & your money. I had to enjoy the dirty table landscape. I'm paying for an experience please execute it properly. Maybe it's demographics but regardless no excuse management can train these simple techniques to make a memorable dining experience. Take my criticism kindly I'm just trying to help, would love to have a regular place to enjoy. On a positive note the do offer daily specials. & staff is friendly (just not polished) read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away by the bartender. We ordered deviled eggs and the BLT salad both were Amazing. I had the black bean tacos and he had the chicken fajitas. Everything was Tasty and Fresh. The peppers in the fajitas were cooked perfectly. I had the corn tacos and I could barely finish the three. We definitely will be back. Loved the atmosphere and the drink list has something for everyone. They have a great bourbon selection . Will be back! Great Local Restaurant read more

Great food and service. The atmosphere is so cool to look at and take in. I'm new around here and this made me feel at home

Stopped in for the first time on a Saturday evening. The place was busy but we were able to get seated right away! The inside is gorgeous! The workers were all very kind & our food was DELICIOUS! We had the fried pickles for an appetizer (so good!) I got the chicken and waffles and it was excellent! My fiancé got the TJ burger without guac and both of us agree that it was the best burger either of us have ever had! He's extremely picky with food (especially burgers) but we were both extremely impressed. Definitely recommend here! The prices are very affordable, the portion sizes are good, and the food is excellent! read more

Got there at 4 30 pm, place was half empty. Told, very rudely, that it would be at least 30 minutes. 5 wait staff just standing around the podium socializing. Can't see why there would be any wait at all. Many open tables available. read more

We love this place & need to go back soon. They have good daily specials, a great bar, atmosphere & the pizza is amazing too! I love having a nice place downtown Elyria like this, and hope more businesses open / thrive here as well! read more

Always reliably good! Love bringing my kids here. Pub grub like the burgers and wings are great. I love their buffalo chicken wrap on Wednesdays. For St Pats I had the 3 cheese grilled cheese with bacon and a bowl of tomato bisque. Wonderful! Went well with a craft beer and a Tully Dew! Always have great service! read more

Fun place to go for a burger. Hard to get in the weekends. Go early or late. Good service and drinks.

This was our first time at FKB, so glad we came to dine! Our waitress ( Morgan ) gave excellent service, was prompt and helpful with her suggestions. Way to go Morgan! We started with the wasabi deviled eggs, what a delicious appetizer. I had meatloaf, seasoned just right. My hubby had the salmon, perfectly prepared. Followed by Lucifer's chocolate, we had an excellent meal. We will be back! The holiday themed ambiance really looked beautiful. read more

Foundry Kitchen and Bar is a little gem in downtown Elyria. Not much to draw you downtown but this place is worth the trip. Menu is fun gastropub fair, well executed and served by a capable and friendly wait staff. Atmosphere is lively and fairly loud, but the tables are well spaced. Dinner is set to a 90s alternative soundtrack that is nostalgic without feeling stale. read more

Nice staff & my food was done quick & hot. Not to mention delicious! Highly recommend .

I eat there quite a bit. Great service and friendly staff!! Definitely recommend them!!

This place is a gem - the Korean chicken sandwich was excellent. Loved the sour cream and onion dipping sauce for the chips - that was SO good. Drinks were very reasonably priced, staff was very nice, decor was very nice - highly recommended and will definitely come back read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but the Foundry is exceptional!! The menu offers many items that are unique. There are items you won't find on just any American fare menu. I had the short rib entree and it was so delicious. I want to go back and try everything. My husband had the brisket poutine and we all shared. It's listed as a starter but plenty for 4 of us. It was outstanding! I can't forget our server. She was friendly and professional. read more

I rely heavily on reviews and gave this place a chance to respond via email to rectify the problem with no response. The venue and service was great!! Very impressed initially until we got our over priced less than mediocre food. Ordered the pretzels, they were edible. I chose the portobello mushroom sandwich which was mostly bread & very little mushroom peppers or onion. My partner got a chicken wrap, which would've been fine except for the lettuce was hot . read more

Amazing food and great prices. Great happy hour options! The pretzel stick appetizer is amazing! Cannot go wrong with burgers, wraps, wings, or salads. read more

Good location in downtown Elyria in a great historic building. Lots of parking which made it really convenient. They directed us to the least attractive table right in front of the door, but when we asked for something different they were quick to move us somewhere else. Our server was nice but not super helpful regarding the menu. Nevertheless, we had a good meal-I had the burger that was half bacon, half burger (delicious) and my partner had the Mac and cheese which she enjoyed as well. The sweet potato fries were a little "meh"; next time I'd probably go with the regular fries. Lots of TV's,going with sports, so a pretty high energy place. A worthy stop for us! read more

definitely a gem in elyria, was looking for a more traditional/gastropub place to eat during a busy weekend for restaurants in oberlin so decided on here. they have a really big inside space and half in/out area with fans- flowers were set on each table and were really pretty. the service was quick and efficient and our orders and food took no less than 15/20 minutes. we had chips n dip, pickle bites and wings for appetizers which were good- wings the best. for a main i ate a cheese burger with pepper jack which was tasty, and a side of chips. overall a good lunch spot :) read more

Foundry never disappoints. We came in on a Friday night but they recently opened a new side that is for party rentals or allows them to space out for more people on the weekends. My husband ordered chicken waffle pizza with a waffle crust, chicken, bacon, cheese and maple Siracha syrup. This was fantastic! A new twist on chicken and waffles. I ordered margarita gnocchi with a balsamic drizzle. This was a punch of flavor. We are very happy with our meals. We ordered chips and dip for an appetizer, the chips are thin and crispy, just perfect in my opinion. We wanted to order fried pickles but they only have spears. Why in the world do restaurants not serve pickle chips instead of spears, they are so much better. Our server was very friendly and was on point with recommendations read more

I went in person once had great service great food! The garlic wings and bacon Mac and cheese was so amazing I do delivery often!

Great restaurant, clean and has an patio you can also sit on. There are TVs visible from all seats. We got the chips and dip as an appetizer... the dip was great. The caprese salad was nice and fresh as was the chicken and waffles. They had a good selection of drinks and we settled on a blood orange cider. read more

I can't say I've ever had a bad meal! Food is always delicious, cocktails are also top notch. Support this local eatery!

Visited for the first time this afternoon after flying in from out of state to see family. Very pleased with not only the atmosphere but the service. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, everything was fresh and hot. Our server, Chelsea, was fantastic, even with the lunch rush hour happening she refilled drinks, answered questions, and when I brought up that I was dairy free she was attentive to ensure my meal had no dairy products and substituted vegan cheese on my sandwich. Highly recommend stopping in to the Foundry! read more

Absolutely Incredible. I can't believe I just tried this place for the first time. Service is outstanding and with a smile. I had Chicken Bacon Pasta with tomato and artichoke in a white wine reduction sprinkled with pecorino and basil. AMAZING. And so are the prices. Definitely be back read more

So I liked this place so much the first time around that I stopped again on my way back home from the East Coast. On this trip I had a burger with a side of the chips and sour cream and onion dip. I also had the pretzel sticks for an appetizer. The food was just as amazing as the first time, as was the service. My server, Abby, was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Unlike most places that ask how I want my burger cooked and then make it however they want anyway, the Foundry was spot on with a perfectly cooked medium burger. It was juicy and tasty. And the homemade chips and dip did not disappoint. Again, this place is fantastic and I highly recommend it whether you are from the area or just passing through. read more

Great atmosphere, staff is friendly, smiles, and willing to answer any questions. Good beer selection. Food was great.

Not a huge menu, but pretty much something for everyone. Thursday is pizza night, good. Wraps are good. The steak is good, but not a fan of the bacon wrapped asparagus. Asparagus, good. Bacon good. Put them together and if the bacon is cooked, the asparagus is ruined. If the asparagus is good, raw bacon. They kitchen is good, but they have yet to pull that one off, at least for me. read more
