    cheesesteak and fries
    Hajir S.

    This spot has some decent sandwiches, and it's nice that everything is quite fresh. Honestly not a bad place to grab a bite locally. However, it's not so great that I'm inclined to go out of my way, and the prices are higher than expected. I got a cheesesteak, but spicy like the voodoo sandwich, and just like the voodoo chicken sandwich it's good, but it's not great. It's spicy, but it's not so spicy that it's voodoo! The fries are good, but there's no beer on draft or anything like that. It's just hard to understand why in Cleveland you're paying $18 for a cheesesteak that costs $12 in NYC at a bodega that's open 24 hours a day...they also need to put more cheese on that cheesesteak Staff was kind, parking was available, and there is ample seating.

    Lamb hero and fresh cut fries
    Kerri H.

    Quick service for a great lunch! The gyro was tasty and the fresh cut fries were perfect! A quaint little place with friendly service.

    Cow tipper with fries
    Sue S.

    Food was a bit higher priced. They charged me 75 cents for pickles when I'm already paying 14 dollars for a burger... Mac and cheese was bussing I tried the lemonade and it was realllllllllyyy sour I had it water it down a lot. They don't offer refills for any drinks you buy there. Burgers were good but nothing to make me return again. Paid extra for salmon on salad and the salmon was small but flavors were good.

    Chicken sandwich & Mac & Cheese

    Chicken sandwich and Mac & cheese 10/10 highly recommend fresh food and ingredients. New favorite place wish I known about it earlier.

    Looking at the menu board, you can see that this is not your standard deli. It's much more than just combinations of sliced meats and cheeses. You can get a gyro, chicken pizza, salmon burger, and sweet potato fries, among many other choices. When I see a restaurant like this, I seriously wish I lived closer. I decided to go with the Cubano. This is not some half assed ham and pickles sandwich. They take perfectly cooked pork and layer it with ham, pickles, and mustard, pressed between French bread. This is seriously the real deal. I have had sandwiches in Florida that were not as good as this. My wife normally shares at least a little bit of her meal with me. She didn't let me have any of her chicken sandwich. Fortunately, we both got fries. They are skin on, and the owner told us that they soak them overnight, which releases the starch and makes them crispier. There were an enormous number of fries, and we both ate all of them. And, that's not all. My wife got a salad with an amazing vinaigrette. And, the soup of the day was a potato soup. Every spoonful was savory, and I wish I had ordered more. We are only in Ohio for three days, and we came here on day two. We are definitely coming here on our last day. UPDATE: we came back on the way home, and I got a salmon burger. Unlike most salmon burgers, which consist of breading that was formed in front of a picture of a salmon, this one has a significant amount of salmon in it. It's served with an excellent tzatziki sauce. I also got a rich, tasty mac & cheese. There are many other things on the menu, and the soup selection rotates daily, so there are plenty of reasons to come back.

    Eggplant sandwich
    Tawanda B.

    I've gone to Local West twice. Today I had the eggplant sandwich, fries, and a blackberry cider. The eggplant was soft but not mushy. The onion tomato herb topping was delicious. I enjoy their bread, the herbs mixed into the nooks and crannies of the bread Lets talk about the music I was there for about 40 minutes( I ate there) I dined to reggae, 90s and 2000s slow and upbeat jams, and even some 70 classics, I should have asked for somebody's Spotify list on the way out cause I'm Extra I will be back soon, I'm gonna try one of the chicken sandwiches .

    Cowtipper Burger
    Natalie K.

    First place here, cool vibes inside! Burger was great and good amount of fries that were also good. Big menu, would like to try the chicken next! Parking lot right beside made it stress free. You go up to counter and pay then sit and wait for food to be delivered. Not too long of a wait. Not a lot of people dining in but take out seemed busy. Would go again!

    Voodoo Chicken Sandwich

    I ordered the Voodoo chicken sandwich and 4 beans side. Great quality ingredients that were made fresh. Everything tasted delicious. I would highly recommend!

    Cheesesteak Sandwich
    Gillian S.

    DELICIOUS! My dad and I were recommended this place by a friend who said "it wouldn't disappoint" - and he was right!! These were some of the best sandwiches we've ever had! I got the Italian Beef Sandwich - it was good on its own, but when you dipped it in the au jus sauce - no words can describe how good this sandwich was! They also give you a good portion, so you will not leave this place hungry! My dad was craving a Cheesesteak and was so excited to try this one. It was a giant sandwich - filled to the brim with steak, topped with delicious cheese, and cooked to perfection... what more could you ask for? He loved this sandwich and ate every last crumb!! Both of our sandwiches came with hot, crispy fries - the perfect side to a perfect sandwich! We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu, we heard the burgers are delicious too!

    Overcooked beef
    ken k.

    Don't know why they ask how I want my burger if it's gonna come out well anyways. Seems like they use a tasty blend of meat, but ours was overcooked. The owner was a little rude, but the cashier was nice.

    Blacon Burger
    Charles L D.

    I've been dining at Local West for 8+ years and it is one of my favorite spots to grab a burger. So glad to see that they've been able to survive the pandemic and unfortunate challenges other local restaurants have faced. The service is always quick considering that the food is made to order. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Blacon burger with sweet potato fries and it was satisfying. My only complaint is that the burger was cooked a little bit more than I expected but not to the point where I didn't enjoy it. Local West is a casual spot and I often dine inside or outside on the patio. Would definitely recommend Local West if you're looking for a casual spot with friendly service and great food!

    This was the Big Breast sandwich with a side of fresh cut fries!

    The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and the food was also presented great!

The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

I hope a new LGBT+ space will be created in Cleveland, but will be managed better financially than Studio West was! I have been twice to Muze for their drag brunches in the past 3 years and am sad to hear that it is closing. I love drag shows and enjoyed Muze's food for the most part. Their service wasn't always the greatest. Here are some notes I have taken (but never got around to publishing on Yelp until now) on my experiences there and the food I ordered: Recent visit in August 2025: The Sunday drag brunch was a $5 cover charge that was added to our bill at the end. They were out of burgers and chorizo that day so I got a diner dish with a chocolate chip pancake and smoked sausage and scrambled eggs. I had a diet coke to sip on but it was flat. My bf had a hash scramble and a mimosa. My friend got us pub fries to share. They were smothered in gravy. I ate way too many of these and probably grew a pants size or two! Monica Lexin was the host/emcee and our drag performers were: Monica Lexin, Kellan, Bran Stroker, and Golden Jack. The crowd was too quiet and too cheap, sadly, but in comparison to my last time I visited 3 years ago, the staff is much better and less apathetic. I found my old, unpublished notes from my visit 3 years ago and here's some highlights. I know the place was busy for the show but it took forever for us to get waited on. Waters were hardly ever refilled and we had to wait 45 minutes for water. Overheard there is only one bartender and one chef, odd for a big drag show money maker! Once the show got going, service got way better. As for food, the fries were not as crunchy as they should be, tasted fine. The garlic aoili was stellar as a dipping sauce. I ordered and received a very yummy Cubano with fatty and salty pork belly. My brother got a breakfast pizza with a swirl of hollandaise and an above average cheese pull. The dough was deceptively hard to chew. I brought home my brother's leftover pizza and my Cubano which were tasty as leftovers and I was very full. Overall, this was a great vibe. Glad we have it in Cleveland. Not amazing service but good food and great vibes OVERALL; Sounds like I would have given it 3 to 3.5 stars three years ago. I'll go ahead and bump my total review to a 4 since there's obviously been some improvement.

It's tucked away in a residential area inside an old house, giving it a charm that's impossible to manufacture. The interior is unpretentious, cozy, and full of character... and maybe a few characters too. The barkeeps have plenty of personality. There are no robotic greetings or scripted welcomes here, just genuine hospitality from people who seem happy to be behind the bar. Whiskey dominates the spirits menu, but there's plenty else to choose from. And don't let the casual vibe fool you--you can absolutely get a serious cocktail here, expertly made and perfectly balanced. On the food side, if you've had one too many and need something substantial to soak up the drinks, may I suggest the Polish Platter? It's an absolutely delicious gut bomb loaded with pierogies, stuffed cabbage, Polish sausage, noodles, and potato cakes. The cabbage, sausage, and pierogies were all fantastic. Prosperity Social Club is the kind of place every city wishes it had: authentic, welcoming, and completely devoid of pretense.
