Good food is a priority here. I'm very finicky and I eat clean, Whole Foods. I avoid gluten and industrial seed oils. I normally get their blue burger without a bun. It comes on a bed of lettuce, tomato, red onion. I up charge to add a salad for $1.99. And the best part... These are all pre-Covid menu items and prices! The atmosphere is so conducive I can't say enough good about it. I love that they have high tops, but I'm short so the round regular tables and chairs fits me perfectly and everybody can see everybody at the table and have a cohesive conversation. The The management and staff are remarkable. Mike is a hands-on manager and my favorite server is Olivia. She is hands-down, the most attentive and pleasantly professional server in the region. I sometimes double-tip her on the price of my order. read more

Happy Moose Bar & Grill - They also have a full menu, including dessert and an outdoor patio. - Bars Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Happy Moose if you were a hunter and just bagged one, otherwise, I saw and tasted disappointment. A party of five, hungry and thirsty, go to eat and have a few drinks. No one likes their food. One burger (Texas Boy) ordered was missing the bbq sauce and the tomato was never removed per request of the eater. A Reuben that was meh. The chili was simply horrible. None of it was worth it. The waitress seemed nice at first, but she disappeared. Thought she vanished into thin air until I saw her on the other side working the bar. I do not think she's the only one with appearance issues as the table behind us had to ask another waitress to go retrieve theirs. The service wasn't up to par as we are left waiting at times especially for the missing bbq sauce. A simple lunch shouldn't take forever, but this did. By the time we finished, it was nearing dinner all because it took forever for burgers, sandwiches and such to come. Maybe they were short a cook, but I do know they were short on getting the orders right. The fast food joint 200' away would have been a better choice. read more

Happy Moose Bar & Grill - Morning After Melt - Bars Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

I stopped here for take out dinner. I've discovered many small restaurants and bars work at their own pace in the area. If you're good with waiting a few minutes they are pleasant and accommodating. The food was fresh. I ordered a Rueben and side salad. The salad was small but fresh ( that is more important to me). read more

Typical sports bar feel. I had the wings and rib combo. The smoke dry rub on their meaty wings paired with fall off the bone ribs! Yum! Friendly service from the bartender who took great care of me. Would definitely go back next time I'm in the Cleveland area. read more

Food was just ok. Good service. Everything was clean. Artichoke dip was ok. Burgers were ok. Flavor was, eh.

Always good. I like their old-fashioned and their cheeseburgers. my wife likes their sweet potato fries and their salads. I like their mac & cheese and onion rings. read more

Proper wings, done crisp, then sauced by the diner rather than drenched in the kitchen. Good selection of dips/sauces.

Nice neighborhood bar will fantastic food sold at very res prices. The service and the atmosphere is top notch and truly is one of the best sports bars in Lake County. read more

Happy Moose Bar & Grill - Chicken Parmesan Melt - Bars Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Terrific bar- great place to watch the game hang out with friends and get some pretty decent grub. Sam was a fantastic server and waitress. She has the best personality. She was just awesome. The food is quite good. We enjoyed the variety of wings. The nachos were fresh. The drinks were made really well. We had a great time. read more

Best Buffalo Wings!!! I live in the Cleveland area and stopped by here with my family to catch the end of a Frowns game while we were on the road. The service was great and the food phenomenal. I love chicken wings and these were some of the best I've had. I also recommend the potato skins, they were massive. My only criticism would be that the food took slightly longer than expected to arrive but it was pretty busy. The building was very clean with many giant tvs and a nice bar. If I am ever in the area again I will make sure to pay a visit!! read more

We have only been to this place 2x - we are from out of town but come to Mentor area yearly! I don't know HOW this only has a 3 star review! Both times the food was top level - memorable to come back the second time after a year! Best juicy burgers! Crispy waffle fries! I tried to use an app for pick up - we parked waited 25 min - I went in cuz I wasn't sure - I'm not a regular on the app I used- My card got charged and found out it was cancelled when I went to pick up - Had not really a reason why. Anyway Casey ( waitress) and Brian (manager) took care of us. We sent people there yesterday ( there was a big assembly Sat/Sun in Willoughby) they loved it too! We definitely will be back and will be talking about Happy Moose should come to Erie, PA read more

We stopped by for an early dinner today before going to an escape room around the corner. We went at 4pm on a Friday, which wasn't busy at all. We had a table of 5 and service flowed smoothly. I like how large their menu was since a lot of restaurants downsized after Covid. Our waitress was very attentive, without making us feel rushed. Our table ordered a wide range of food. I ordered a side salad and a side of Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious, especially the Mac. It was very filling which was surprising for a side portion. I barely had room for my salad. Andrew ordered the Texas Boy with a side salad. He wasn't able to finish his burger, but he said he could've used extra sauce. Someone else ordered the same burger, but she decided to use lettuce in place of buns. I love when restaurants are able to make accommodations like that. My mom ordered loaded fries and a cup of chili. She wasn't able to finish her food either. We all experienced our first cup of chili with onions on it tonight! The last person ordered a wrap with a side salad. She went home with a ton of food. If you're looking to get the biggest bang for your buck, I'd definitely suggest coming here. The portion sizes are huge and worth every penny. I hope to be back in the near future. read more

Best wings I've had in the area. Good service. Fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. Big TVs. What's not to like?

The service and food was the worst I've experienced in a long time. Bad choice by stopping here on a road trip. When we had a wait 20 minutes to be sat on a weeknight with many empty tables it should have been our first clue. Terrible overcooked fried food. Could not even eat and waitress nowhere to be found. Very disappointed. read more

The staff was super friendly here. We were seated quickly and helped with the menu. The food was very tasty. My panini style sandwich was prepared the way I specified. They have a decent menu. I would like to try a few dishes. I will have to stop back in when in the area. read more

Happy Moose Bar & Grill - Sandwich and kettle chips - Bars Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Management is horrible. They fire employees with no warning via text. Unfounded reasons and lies right before the holidays.

It was our first time here and we were really looking forward to a great experience (me, husband and 2 adult kids) but were sadly disappointed. Our server was very upbeat, but sadly was a no show for most of our experience. We had to flag down other servers for napkins, silverware, extra dressing (caesar salad good but needed more). Unfortunately our server also was in charge of a very large party of children and their parents who took up almost our whole section of the restaurant. I am not kidding when I say there must have been twenty small kids (around 7 or 8 years old) who were having the time of their lives seated by themselves (their parents sat at separate tables) and we literally could not hear ourselves talk. They were shouting the entire time. Sadly, I am not exaggerating. I have raised 4 of my own kids so I'm no stranger to excited kids but these parents and also restaurant staff had no regard for other diners. Our server came by half way through dinner to check on us, said something about the large party leaving soon, and then never came back. We had to flag down other employees to bring us to go boxes and the check. I did mention to one server that the noise in our section was deafening and he said there was nothing he could do. The food was actually very good, but sadly we will NEVER be back. Clearly our business didn't matter to this establishment. I can't remember the last time I complained about a restaurant! I am easy to please and have raised 4 kids, one with severe Autism so I don't sweat the small stuff usually but this was a horrible experience. Nothing happy about The Happy Moose for us, unfortunately. read more

never put our order in, waited 1 hr before badly cooked food finally came after 2 reminders. daughters food came just in time for us to leave. bad food, exceptionally bad service, never going back, really just sick of restaurants, period. read more

Burger was awesome, fries overcooked and greasy. Server was pleasant, but service a little slow

Nice sports bar type setting right off the freeway. Seems to be a very popular spot for Friday happy hour so would not recommend a family dinner on a Friday. Very loud. Food was above average. Waiter was very friendly. Burgers were good. read more

I stopped in while on a business trip and had a huge berry salad. It was very good, especially for a sports bar salad. Our waitress was quite friendly and the atmosphere was good - not nearly as loud as most sports bars :) read more

Such an amazing establishment! Staff is always wonderful, food is amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. Definitely should check it out if in the area. read more

While I am so glad this bar was able to stay open during COVID, i feel like they should close permanently at some point. The atmosphere was awesome, definitely a local bar spot, there's games in the back corner, very friendly staff..but you're here for a food review right? for starters, their chorizo dip came out cold, like they pulled it out of the fridge and popped it in the microwave and not for long enough. The chips served were stale. Second, i ordered wings and fries, and while the fries were good ( i mean how could you screw up fries), the wings were some of the worst ive ever had. There was no crisp, no crunch, not enough sauce. No celery sticks, nothing. It was so bland. My kids didnt eat their kids meals which said a lot for me, staff was good though but thats honestly as far as i'd take it. Theres a quaker steak up the road, save your money and time. read more

I so love their wings!! And add a Great Lakes Christmas Ale with a shot of vanilla vodka...perfection.

The food was decent and the atmosphere was nice. I liked the burger but the appetizer I got had way too much chorizo and grease on it. I let the waitress know and she took it off the bill with no problems. Only question she asked was "how can we change it to make it better?" which I found impressive that she valued my feedback. read more

I've eaten at a lot of restaurants throughout the United States, some I have traveled to exclusively for the restaurant or the cuisine but this is not a restaurant I would go out of my way to travel to nor is Mentor, Ohio a destination for foodies to flock to. Although this restaurant had a physical layout that differed from a Chilis or TGIFridays or whatever other chain American style food joint you are familiar with this is the same spot. I'm guessing their kitchen has three staple items in it; a freezer, a deep fryer, and a microwave. They do have beer though and with enough of that anything is palatable. I think that's built into the business model. read more

Not only is the food great at the Happy Moose, but their sports trivia games are awesome. They have them on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 6:30. They're fun and educational and if you win, there are good prizes. read more

A fellow yelper & friend & I decided to eat here after our first visit to Menards. The hostess was a little curt & I was worried that our dining experience was going to be effected. We then were approached by a very friendly waitress who informed us that it would be just a few moments because they were in the middle of shift change. After a brief time, she returned to let us know that she was going to be our waitress since the other girl was running late. It was our lucky day!! Gabby was extremely attentive to our needs & was super pleasant. We enjoyed our food & will definitely be back & will request Gabby!! read more

Service was horrible! Granted we are 62 and 66 years old and probably not the most desired customers. But believe me we tip really well when we have great...even good...service. Stopped in for a couple drinks and the buffalo chicken dip. The "ticket was missed"...translation..."I forgot to put it in". Being a former bar manager I expressed understanding however our drinks were dry for two drinks worth. Dip came minutes later...gotta scoop and plate it...but never got approached for perhaps another drink? We may be old but seriously.... So if you're a senior citizen..,walk on by. read more

Customer service and food was awful. No cheese in the mozzarella things. The bartender said if I wasn't happy with the sticks (or whatever they were) he would take them off the bill. I said no, if this is the product you are happy to put out, it's fine. With that, he had nothing to say. This conversation happened twice. He eventually charged us for the crap. Standards are well below par. Don't waste your time. read more

Happy Moose Bar & Grill - Mozzarella crap with no cheese - Bars Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Loud bar with French fries that are over cooked and the color of amber beer. The food was not very good

Food was good. Beers were good. Good service. Drinks were extremely watered down and terrible. Knocks it down to 3 stars for that.

i ordered a kids quesadilla for my cousins daughter and while we got our food it was burnt or undercooked and my niece never got her food so we called a waiter over and they forgot her food and they said they remade it for her then they gave it away so i gave her some of mine and it had no seasoning and was burnt read more

Great place good service great food and a friendly atmosphere. The best wings in town. Great sandwiches and all at a great price.

Amazing bar food everything on the menu is delicious. I've been coming here for years and never had a bad experience food or service. My favorite sports bar period. The wings are great! I love the happy moose! read more

This review should be better but it's not. Manager here tonight shouldn't be allowed to manage vending machine. And definitely shouldn't be talking to customers. Bartenders were excellent and prompt. Manager got involved with patrons and everything went down hill. More than likely she will keep most from returning. Just wish owner would see this. read more
