First, let me say that the bartender was amazing. She was sweet, attentive, and very helpful. I also really liked the dance floor. But that aside, two sodas and two meals was over $50 before the tip. The food itself was sub par. Mine was tough and overcooked. My son's was, albeit pretty, highly lacking in flavor. The experience just didn't match the pricetag. On a more positive note, they do have live music...but that's not enough to make me want to go back. I'm just really disappointed. read more

One of the single worst dining experiences I've ever had, ever. We went for the AYCE crab legs and it was apparent from the moment we walked in that they were woefully unprepared for such an event. People were coming in and no one from the restaurant were greeting anyone or telling us where to go, sit ect. We had to go to the bar and ask along with everyone else coming in. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone even came over, some tables sat for over 30 minutes before anyone came to the table. Almost every table was complaining about wait times and lack of service. They imposed a 2 hour limit for each table which would be fine however we, along with every other table were waiting over 30 minutes for each refill. The crab was overcooked, very salty and cold. I've eaten a lot of AYCE crab and this was by far the worst I've ever had. None of the meat would come out in full pieces and it was more trouble than it was worth. We got no drink refills and had to go to the bar for our drinks. They automatically added a 20% tip for the server and a 5% convenience charge to use a credit card. The whole experience was highly disappointing and felt like a scam. People started talking among tables and it was clear the vast majority were very upset. Save yourself some money, aggravation and grief and go elsewhere. Horrible experience. read more

I wanted to like this place so bad. It was local and they were hosting a Grateful Dead tribute band. Needless to say, the service was lacks-a-dazeeeeakle. They could care less that my family and I were there. We were at a table and had to go up to the bar to get our drinks and food while there were 4 server/bartenders running around in at 20% full establishment. Had a grand ol time with the music and drinks just to get our bull with multiple things overcharged. I paid, but luckily my wife noticed that they were charging $2-$3 above the listed price. Bartender fixed it but had zero apologies to give. Seems to be how things probably go and hope an asshole like me doesn't call them out. Keep listening to the dead as long as it's not here... Sucks because there is nothing cool to do in Strongsville read more

Grouchy service, mediocre food. Came in on a Sunday late afternoon during playoff football. Sat right down at the bar, but took forever to get a drink. 2 or 3 bartenders, none very attentive and no one smiling or acting like they're happy to be here. Eventually ordered a burger and fries. The burger was decent, but the fries were cold to the touch. They took them back and after about 10 minutes (burger was gone), the fries returned. They were hot, bit not crisp. As if they just put them in the microwave to warm them up. Not good. On a positive note, tall Coors lights were on happy hour until 7, so $3 beers earned the 2nd star. read more

If i could give less than one star i would. I made reservations for the all you can eat crab legs a month in advance. What happens when we show up? All of a sudden the reservation doesnt show up and we are told that tables have already walked out. So did we. Do not go here under any circumstances. read more

Typical bar and food They do have a band on the weekend. A large age range of people. The place is currently under construction so the bathrooms were not finished. Prices seem reasonable. Our server was amazing though. She remembered everyone's order (even with a larger birthday group) and visited our table frequently for drink and food orders. read more

lol give em a three because they were friendly and like most places now a days understaffed. That being said we didn't wait long for food but weren't attended to very much. And we were at the bar. Wife had the Manner burger and wasn't impressed. She got a baked potato and was served liquified butter with it. I had a Cobb salad which was good. Missed part of my order but life goes on. Ok enough with the bad...the good----the wings (Nashville Hot and Golden tangy) were REALLY good and on special for $10 a dozen??? IDEAL! Also prices here are super reasonable. read more

Tonight we came to see our niece play with her band for The School Of Rock. Our experience was absolutely awful. The place was crowded, which was to be expected. We were there not even 5 minutes before a bartender rudely pushed passed my 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER cussing about her being in the way. (we had just got to the table and we were trying to get situated and sat down) I was blatantly ignored for over 15 minutes waiting to just ORDER drinks at the bar. There was one specific female bartender yelling at people left and right. Instead of just saying excuse me. The staff was EXTREMELY rude. I will NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. Hire kinder staff members. They should NOT be in the service industry. read more

Michelle!!!! Just not your friendliest person and was quite pushy. I came for my birthday and the band and will never come back. She was very rude and actually pushed my friend in the back ....never said excused me. On the flip side -the bearded young man was simply awesome. Remember our drinks and came around often to see if we needed anything. AND-the bills were correct. He deserves a raise or a bonus. read more

Wished we had read the reviews on AYCE crab legs before we went last night. Crab legs were very small and they gave us a two hour window to eat them. After we waited for over a half hour to get more legs we left. Ashley kept telling us that our order was coming out but nothing, we saw the people behind us getting two orders at a time! We got the bill and saw 8% tax fee, and they already added the 20% tip on our bill! Never again read more

Save your time and money. I couldn't be more disappointed. We went for the all you can eat crab legs on Friday night. The crab legs were soggy. We were served one basket in 2 hrs and 15 min. Food service was slow. Bar service was slow. The place was half empty and there were tables of people getting up and walking out not served. read more

Sadly the reviews are not good here. We were hesitant to go, but had great food, great service and space was great for our family-including children. I think it was a great place to grab a very casual meal and good atmosphere. Nothing fancy by any means, but perfect for what we were looking for.. read more

My previous review was under different "Cleats" ownership and I was clearly on the rag. I've stopped in a couple times since. I appreciate the live music and the food looks to be much better under the Harvest Saloon flag. read more

Server was great. Food was horrible. We got the kids grilled cheese, it was cold and the bread was not soft. Nachos were also cold and the portion was small. I got the cod dinner and the fish was good but the cole slaw was dry and tasteless. We also had a Buffalo chicken salad - that was sub par. I got some take out food for my husband & the wings had no sauce on them after I asked for medium & the tots were small for what it was. To say the least, we won't be back. read more

The server/bartender was rude and disinterested. You could tell she hated her job. The wrong flavor of wings came out. They were taken back to the kitchen "rinsed off" and the prefers sauce was put on. Clearly they just dipped it in the new sauce. GROSS. On the menu it says " ranch and celery and carrots included ". She brought out blue cheese after we asked for ranch. She was very irritated when we pointed that out. I had to ASK for another drink... she was rude and the food gross. Then to add insult to injury they over charged us. It is no longer Cleats or anything resembling that Stay away. read more

Poor management is bad for business! The so-called manager has a sense of entitlement, is cocky & rude. I understand a cover charge, but when he knew the band was done in less than a half hour, why not half price or even free also, let the patrons know before taking their $10 (x3). I personally know the band & even they were surprised we were charged. This band has a huge following, packed at every venue (most don't charge a cover) but because there weren't many people there, maybe 60, they needed to charge $10 hoping it would pay for the band! Obviously, there's a reason why the place wasn't packed..... poor management! read more

Stopped in for a lunch with friends and the place was next to empty on a football Sunday. We sat at the bar and had a group of younger guys (early 20's) that we're loud and obnoxious but hey what ever it's a bar right. The bar tender was nice and got our drinks quick and gave us menus that were very sticky kinda disgusting. She gave us good tips on the what food was good and such, the burgers are good not going to lie I was not expecting that tasty of a burger from this place and the sandwich was very good and was presented well. But as soon as we got our food the service dropped off. All in all food is good but I don't think we will return due to the cleanliness of the place. read more

Harvest Saloon - That's mold on the top of the bar where beer taps were located just covered up by a bar mat - Chicken Wings Near Me - Strongsville, Ohio

This place seems to be very hit or miss on their food quality. I've had some incredibly delicious wings here, and other times they are rubbery or not sauced very well. Fries are average and most other dishes I've had also fall on the average range. But, this restaurant / bar is a great place to view sporting events as they have a TON of TVs that can be seen from any angle in the place. Nice selection of beers, too. read more

So, I'm not sure why we ended up here but the food really sucks. And the bathrooms are dirty and the staff looks like they're not big on hygiene. Totally grossed out by the whole thing. Yuck! read more

Harvest Saloon (formerly Cleats) is one of my go-to neighborhood bars, primarily out of convenience, and for one of the nicest bartenders you'll ever meet, Amy. I had a hard time scoring this place due to my own attachment to it, but honesty has to take precedence over bias. During my four years living in the area, Harvest Saloon saw a great decline when it was Cleats, but has recently been renamed, is now under new ownership, andI I can only assume they're looking to make a resurgence to compete with the other local bar down the block in essentially the same strip mall. This will be no easy task, but I'm rooting for them! The new ownership faces the basic chicken or the egg conundrum. Should they gut the place and completely redecorate? Should they offer more drink specials to bring in the crowds? Live music? Game night? Karaoke? Unfortunately, I don't have those answers either. What I can suggest, however, is that they find an identity. Here's what I mean: The domestic beers are just as cold as the domestic beers down the street. The liquor behind the bar is the same as well. So what's different? Identity. Define what sets this place apart from the other guy's. This hasn't been done yet. When you're in a competitive business, such as a bar or restaurant, having an identity is key. For now, Harvest Saloon is just a bar. They've changed the menu, which is a start, but it's still lacking refinement and an identity. Unless this changes in the near future, I'm afraid it won't last very long. I'll keep going as it's convenient and I root for the underdog, but as it stands right now, I couldn't recommend Harvest Saloon to anyone else. read more

I can't stand this place. My girlfriend and I both like country music. This is the only watering hole around marketing itself as a country hangout. The food is alright. The beer is the same as anywhere else. The prices are not terrible. Live entertainment is usually alright. The service is downright terrible. The main bartender must have had a rough decade or two because in my several visits she's never smiled. And believe me she's down to argue about anything. The service is not exactly on-point. If you don't mind waiting 15 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge you, even when there's four other customers in the bar, then I highly recommend this place. I take my girlfriend here once every six months just to remind her why I dislike this place so much. read more

The best part is they have tons of TVs with spots on. Service was friendly. Parking is easy. Everything else is blah. A boring strip mall bar with zero personality. Food is boring -- ordered chicken strips with sides and got four previously frozen strips and frozen broccoli. Beer selection is weak. Don't bother going here unless all you want is an average beer and to watch sports. read more

Another great meal at cleats. I went for the wings and if you order anything else you don't know what you are doing. They have so many flavors but I could only try four. Garlic parm, Tai chilli, honey mustard, and Erie island smoke. The wings are fried crispy and then sauced.i have been coming here everytime I come from out of town. The service was a little slow like others said but I was in no hurry and just sucked down some happy hour beers while I waited. read more

Harvest Saloon - Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Strongsville, Ohio

The fish fry was awful! Thin fish breaded in Panko . Over cooked and burned. Worst ever! Took and hour and half to get our food. Only thing that was good was the clam chowder. Don't waste your time! Tried to order beer from their list and they were out of everything! Poor service. Staff weren't wearing masks read more

We enjoyed our time. Service was great, kids meals had large portions. Our burgers were very good and we liked the variety of offerings. I had quesadilla burger and really enjoyed it. We will be back. read more

I was hesitant to try this place out because of some of the reviews on here but I honestly can say they exceeded my expectations. The decor is cute and it's very clean. Service was friendly and attentive. The steak philly was really good and they have great fries! The kids meal was a good portion as well! I would definitely return and eat here again someday. The only thing I would suggest is to redo the bathroom and the chicken philly might have been made with canned chicken? It wasn't as good as the steak one. But overall a cool place! read more

Showed the check in offer for the free appetizer and the bartender had no idea what it was and said we don't even have any of these appetizers listed. read more

Was there for my step sons soccer team dinner. As to not disrupt the super cool teenagers, I stayed at the bar and ordered to-go food for my boyfriend and younger step son. Issue #1 was that his chicken tenders were not included. Issue #2 was the atrocity that is my "6 boneless wings" (photo included) what in the actual hell are those supposed to be?! read more

Harvest Saloon - Chicken Wings Near Me - Strongsville, Ohio

Worst service I've had at a restaurant. Went here on St. Patrick's day, they weren't even busy. They quickly served drinks, but food took over an hour to come out. Nobody got their food at the same time either, everyone was done with their meal before the next plate came out. Had to ask multiple times where our food was, no one asked how we were doing and the server was rude. Will not be going back here or recommend this place read more

Cleats is a typical sports with tons of tvs and a huge bar. I order boneless wings and tots, which were relatively decent but over cooked. I ordered 2 beers and to my surprise it was more expensive than the food. Cleats has a lot of specials (i.e. Burgers and brews on Monday, boneless wing and regular wings Tuesday and Wednesday, Rib night Thursday, and Fish Fry Friday). The bartender was so sweet and very attentive. A+ service! I would go again to drink but not for the food. read more

Living in Lima, I was beginning to think Buffalo Wild Wings was the best Ohio had to offer in the way of buffalo wings. Cleats changed all that. Their six-pepper wings are a welcome departure from overly saucy wings. They're spiced in a dry rub with a bit of buttery goodness and allow you to taste Cleats' quality chicken. The mild wings don't carry the overly sweet sauce most restaurants use to drown their chicken. Instead, it's a wonderfully tangy coating of magic. The servers fall into two categories: hot and super-friendly. I saw some young ladies who outspiced my hot wings and met some older ladies whose kindness packed more buzz than the ice-cold Miller Lites I was pounding. The restaurant itself is a bit darker than most Buffalo Wild Wings, and the clientele skews a bit older, so expect better behavior and a touch more family-friendliness. My group did get off to a weird start when the hostess told us, "We're really crazy tonight. I can seat you, but you can't order yet." That being said, our order didn't take long at all. read more

The place looks great and the bar tenders encountered were very attractive. Based on that and my the wednesday pasta special, I'll be back. Country is not my thing, but I do love a tasty Cajun cream pasta. Ps, we definitely miss Amy, hope she's moved on to better things. read more

I asked numerous times to lower the bass booming obscene language music,.but the manager never came over and never asked the Cooks to lower it. I will never go back. I'll just go to the steel yard where they care or even north royalton. Damn cooks were just F@#%ed up and nasty. 12-7-12 @ 6:45pm read more

Everytime I give this place a chance, I regret it. If your just going for drinks and to catch a game, this place is sufficient. However, I constantly have issues with the food. Not only do they go through cooks left and right (which explains why my food is never prepped as on the menu), but every time I stop in there is a new manger as well. At my most recent visit, I got the steak tacos and the steak was so gross I could not even bite through it. Then, the manager would not even come over to apologize! I will not continue to give this place my business. read more

I came to this Cleat's location with my wife before a movie the other night. We weren't expecting much considering it was a bar with some booths scattered around it. Our last experience came at the Cleat's location in Parma Heights, and quite frankly it was a joke. We walked in and noticed the setup was completely different to the other Cleat's we had been to. The atmosphere was very warm and nice. They had some type of trivia game going when we got there, so we had some fun trying to figure out the answers. The food was very good. We ordered the nacho tower, and it was a heaping plate of nachos with loads of cheese. I was impressed with how much you got for the price. Had to add chicken for 2 bucks though. The rest of our food was good as well. My burger was cooked just right and tasted great. My wife got the buffalo Mac n cheese and enjoyed it. A very good experience overall. We know this is the Cleat's we will be going to from now on. read more

Food is ok. Small menu. If I wanted an attitude when getting a beer, I could stay home. Really need to get some attentive bartenders that want to do their job. read more

Been here a few times. Pretty average place... nothing unique about it... never been impressed... never been offended. I work in the area and Cleats is a perfect "beer after work" place in my opinion. Great place to stop in for a Bud Light or two on your way home... have some drinks with a co-worker... bitch about your boss. Stuff like that. Not somewhere I'd bring a date or go out for a "night on the town," but not a bad place at all. read more

The music and atmosphere are great. Food is typical bar food and not bad. Decent drinks. Service was bad last night. Took 30 minutes from sitting down to getting first drinks. Waitress had to be asked multiple times for drinks and food. Understaffed read more

Would give it zero stars but the waitress was working hard. Bartenders are the worst I have ever seen. Walked in and waited 20 minutes for a draft beer at the bar and then when the waitress got busy I waited 30 minutes at the bar fans got no service. read more

We are back at Cleats tonight. Matthew was our server and he was excellent! Always kept our glass full and brought us whatever we needed very quickly. And he did it all with a smile. Our wings were cooked to perfection. Very enjoyable dinner! read more
