We were visiting Cleveland and decided to grab a to go order. Upon arrival, the parking lot was packed. There was a live band performing from 5-8 and they must've been great. For the amount of people in the establishment, our order was prepared quickly. I ordered a Plain Jane hamburger and French Fries. I like my burger medium well. It was just over medium but still very tasty. The Fries remained hot. It was a good hamburger and if I'm ever there again I'd definitely go back. read more

We went to see the band. The food was good. We got the wood fired pizza. Older place though.

When you go to a slightly more posh version of a bar and pay $25+ a person, you would think the food and service would be at minimum passable if not good or great. And while our server was pleasant enough, they only brought out one of our meals and left the other two sitting in the pass for 15 minutes, only to have them come ask us how our food was when two of us were sitting there without our food. Mine was cold and flavorless and for the first time EVER, I sent it back. The whole vibe was just... Yeah. That. Just...just... This is definitely going on the "never going back" list. When we asked for a manager, he refused to come to the table. Not a good sign or customer service experience. read more

Friendly service and a variety of seating options. Food was good and a large variety. We have chicken nachos as an appetizer which was piled high huge portion served four people. The pizza was really good- better than expected good amount of cheese toppings and a bright sauce. Burger was cooked well, and was very tasty. We will be back! read more

So much more than a sports bar! We came here to see a friend's band play on a Saturday night during playoff season. The place was packed, yet somehow we got seated immediately and served promptly! The waiter was friendly and gave us time to look over the menu, which included standard burger and wing fare alongside elevated dishes like fried meatballs and firecracker mac'n cheese! The playoff game ran into overtime, so the band started later than expected, but we were well attended to the entire time by the wait staff and enjoyed our meals thoroughly! The meatballs were crispy on the outside but soft and juicy inside. They were served with a trio of pickled items that complimented the dish nicely! The boneless wings had a firm texture and tasted like they had never been frozen. Not sure what brand they are using, or if they are house made, but they far exceeded expectations! We will definitely return, hopefully with friends and try the rest of their adventurous menu! read more

A true first for me...I had to send my food back. We had three people at our table and they brought one their food and left mine and my son's in the pass for 15 minutes. It was cold and tasteless. If you're going to pay $20+ per person, the food and service should be generally good. A little more upscale than your typical bar, but not worth the trip. Our server was pleasant enough but this is definitely on the "never go back" list. read more

Came here for the first time in well over a decade this past weekend. Totally forgot how big this place is! Tons of room for people! Live bands play here as well. Plenty of drink choices, including a good selection of craft beer. The food I had for my event was buffet style but seemed pretty good and the menu looks impressive as well. Will definitely come back here again! Btw, they have a ginormous brick oven for pizza! read more

For about a month I've been getting food from here at work with coworkers on Wednesday. . It's quite amazing . Everyone thinks the food is great. I've had the Italian wedding soup is the best I ever had. read more

Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere can be found at this local watering hole. Short drive from the airport, there were lots of seating choices including roomy booths across from the bar. Basic well drinks and beers, not really a 'cocktail' place. Food comes out fast and it piping hot - pirogies were good but the potato skins are average. Generous tartar sauce with fish n chips - frozen fish but the fries were good. Live music Friday night with fun covers from across music genres including the singer donning a plastic nose and dancing atop the bar while singing The Humpty Hump. Not a date place - more a local hangout to have a good time. read more

Grindstone Tap House - Bar with live music - New American Near Me - Berea, Ohio

The service was terrible. Usually I am very patient but it was ridiculous. We waited over an hour for a pizza and a bowl of soup. The waitress never asked once if we wanted more drinks or any other service. The food was ok read more

Took our college team of 33 to Grindstone Tap House. We have girls with different dietary restrictions and everyone ordered an individual meal. They were super easy going and communicated with me leading up to the trip. Upon arrival they were all ready and excited for us. Our food came out so fast and fresh and tasted fantastic. We got a variety of items from pizza, burgers, steak, bowls, salmon etc and everything was GREAT. The girls enjoyed the live band and the staff. We'll definitely come back if we come through Cleveland again!! read more

EXCELLENT food and service, stopped by before leaving CLE, Cristina at the bar recommended this sandwich - chef did an awesome job! cold beer, made-to-order food [my fresh cut fries were piping hot, served with ketchup and malt vinegar] and courteous service - would highly recommend! read more

I wish I could give more stars but there were some small problems. The negatives were it took awhile for a waitress to come take our order and it took a very long time to get our food. We also were on our way to a musical at Baldwin Wallace, and one of the people in our party had to go find someone so we could pay. The positives were a great area with tons of TVs. The staff all seemed very nice! Our food was really good. We just ordered wedding soup and tater tots...both really good. The little toasted pieces of bread for the soup were great!!! read more

Let's start with wonderful service! I was pleased that somewhere in the United States, a restaurant knows how to treat customers! Hallelujah. A miracle. Thank you! I was impressed and pleased. The burger was awesome, and the quality of the meat was noticeable. Great local craft beer. What more could a man need? The ambiance was a sports bar, which fits. I'm really happy that I stopped over! read more

Friendly servers and staff, but I will not be returning during lunch hours. Unfortunately, we've had multiple experiences with hour-plus waits for food, even when there were only 4-5 tables in the restaurant. It seems like they don't staff adequately for lunch. read more

Surprisingly good food for this hole in the wall bar near the airport. We stopped in for lunch and had no problem grabbing a booth. They offered us a brunch menu but said we could order off their full menu as well. I started with the Tortilla Soup and then had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Onion Rings. The soup had the perfect amount of kick to it and the portion sizes were generous. My coworker asked what type of meat they use for their gyro and the waitress acted like it was the dumbest question she's ever heard. We were surprised by her reaction, because we have seen gyros with beef, chicken, lamb, a combination, etc. She responded with, "that's like asking if our mac & cheese has noodles...". We explained that it listed every ingredient/topping but didn't specify the meat, and apologized. The food was very good though and we enjoyed our lunch other than the server being kind of stubborn. read more

I searched for brunch and this Tap House popped up. Couldn't complain about getting brunch at a tap house. I believe they serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (we came on a Saturday). THE BEER For a "tap house" they didn't have as many beers as I would expect on tap. They offered a little over a dozen, including some of the standard Busch/Yuengling /Miller varieties. They also offered some craft brews, with about a third from local Ohio breweries. I ordered a flight, which comes with a selection of any six beers that you choose from the menu. The samples were generous and a great way to make a decision, since you don't have to pick just one. Chicken wings were not berry tasted. They were undercooked (a little pink inside). THE FOOD @ BRUNCH The menu had many great selections. They have many Benedict options among other things. I can't remember the name but I ordered a Benedict that came with bacon, eggs and topped with sausage gravy. It was delicious. The queso wrap was disappointing. It's basically a breakfast burrito, with eggs, cheese and chorizo sausage rolled in a tortilla shell. We were expecting crumbly chorizo but it was spiced link sausage. The gyro with eggs looked amazing. I didn't get a report from my friend on how he liked it...other than his plate was licked clean. THE WAIT STAFF The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. They were a pleasure to speak with. read more

Hubby and I stopped in after the home and garden show at the IX Center. This place is right around the corner and we figured we would try it out. We ordered the potato skins for an appetizer and they were amazing! Then we split the Meat pizza which was good. It was loaded with toppings, I wish it was cooked a little longer but it's a stone fire pizza so I feel like any longer in the oven it would have been burnt. We had leftovers and warmed them in the oven and I thought it was better that way. The flavor was good and had a ton of cheese on it. The drinks were cheap and strong! The service was top notch, the bartenders were very attentive and didn't miss a beat. This is you basic bar nothing fancy with the decor. We will totally come back, we had a great time and the food was good! read more

Grindstone Tap House - a patio with tables and umbrellas - New American Near Me - Berea, Ohio

Great food, great service! Our family was searching for tasty eats after attending the Auto Show at the UX Center. As always, we turn to Yelp for recommendations. Our extended family of 7, visited late afternoon on a Saturday. The restaurant is pretty spacious, with a full bar, with tons of seating, separate dining room and a stage. Also looks as though, there is outdoor seating during warmer weather. There was a sign stating "seat yourself" but we were immediately welcomed and escorted to a table when one of the servers noticed that we had a baby in need of a high chair, stroller parking etc. The menu is extensive, appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, wings etc. We each ordered a different entree and by far, the pizza was biggest hit! Thin crust, plentiful toppings, and flavorful sauce. I ordered the patty melt with chicken, which was served on thick cut marble rye bread, perfectly toasted. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. I chose sweet potato fries as a side, and I'm pretty sure that they were fresh cut. Other orders at our table included gyro platter, buffalo chicken wrap, bacon burger and wings. The portions were huge. Our server, Jackie, was super nice and very attentive. Other servers checked on us, as well, clearing dishes, as we finished. Good food is always a plus, but great service brings me back. Grindstone Taphouse, we'll be back!! read more

Grindstone Tap House - Patty melt with chicken, and sweet potato fries. - New American Near Me - Berea, Ohio

So sad to have to write this but unfortunately will NEVER EVER visit this establishment after my experience tonight. Somethings are reasonable and understandable but when your food is made incorrectly to watch as the "cook" throws a bowl mad because it has to be made again and then another kitchen staff drops tongs on the floor picks them up and then proceeds to remove food from an oven with those same tongs...was about to lose my mind! I prefer to spend my $$ at local places but if this is what I have to expect then home cooking it is! Manager was nice- feel bad that she should have to deal with staff like that. Walked out hungry disappointed and permanently removing one local establishment from the list of places to go. read more

The good: Waitress was very attentive. Sandwiches tasted great. Comfy atmosphere. The bad: My soup was lukewarm. My friend ordered regular fries and got a plate full of "bottom of the barrel" fries (pieces parts, not whole fries). My friend's ice tea tasted like it had been sitting around (can iced tea be stale?) Would I go again? Probably not. read more

Came here because it is close to home and got good reviews. We ordered the big pretzel appetizer, it was kinda greasy and tasted like garlic. Also, it wasn't big at all. If a pretzel is going to have any type of "flavor", it should say that in the description on the menu, which it doesn't. The garlic taste was strong and a HUGE turnoff for me. Husband ordered Jackie O's Oil of Aphrodite beer. He said it was amazing. Husband ordered the bourbon meatball sandwich. He said it was fair. Meatballs were tough and chewy I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger, with American cheese instead of Swiss. Done medium. It came the way I ordered and was ok. Nothing that makes this place stand out for me. But, also not a bad place. It's just fair. I would say it's a one and done for us read more

Food is surprisingly good! Came in on a Wednesday night for trivia. Happened to be Taco night. Ordered a shrimp & andouille sausage taco just to try it. Outstanding! Trivia was a lot of fun, too. Family Feud style. All the answers where through an app on your phone. Not a lot of opportunity to cheat in this game, which keeps the competition nice and fair. Would come back again in a heartbeat! read more

We have been going to the Grindstone for a few months now. As a Native New Yorker, I think I can say "I know great pizza". The brick oven pizza taste great. The Gouda Grilled cheese with slices of apple is amazing. Everyone of our friends has their favorite dish. The owner has been great as well. They do get many patrons and parking gets really full at certain times of the week. They've hosted dart tournaments and wine tastings. Etc. I want to try one of their salads next. read more

We enjoyed our meal at Grindstone. Not very many folks eating dinner there on a Saturday at 8p. Most were having drinks. So my boys enjoyed watching football and hockey while we had a relaxing dinner. Service was great. Pretzel with truffle cheese was scrumptious. Saved the cheese dip for fries later... I know, but.... One past reviewer mentioned that the beer menu wasn't awesome considering their name. And I would have to agree. For this time of year (Oct), I would have appreciated a porter or brown. Surprisingly my son got the Patty Melt and enjoyed it. My burger was tasty & hubby and other son enjoyed their wings. read more

Just had arguably the best pizza of my life. I don't even like ruebens, but ventured out and got the rueben pizza. GREAT MOVE. It was A+. Seriously. Try. It. You've been eating pepperoni your whole life. Branch out, try this specialty pizza. It's seriously incredible. If you're not interested in being adventurous, get the chicken bacon ranch. Also A+ read more

Overall amazing! We got three different burgers and the mushroom spinach pizza. The only issue is one individual of the group is a very picky eater. She ordered the plane Jane burger with just the bun and meat. Medium well. When she got her burger, it was extremely red. More like a medium rare and the two that ordered their burgers medium and medium rare, there was no pink at all. Overall would likely go back at least for the pizza read more

The service here was horrific. Went on Friday, November 1st. To see Todd Meany & his band. Arrived at 6:30 p.m. servers walked by us and around us. We asked for a menu & was completely ignored. We had to get our drinks from the bar ourselves. Eventually moving to the bar for service. Very chaotic & unorganized. We won't be back. read more

The pizza was so saucy and delicious! The service was nice and finally we found a restaurant where they get our orders right! There was a band called Barcode that was rocking the house down and the whole place was covered with TVs showing the sports happening that night. Come for the sports, stay for the live music! read more
