Their pizza, wings and burgers are good. Salads are huge! Sometimes I think the high steaks sandwich is a little light on the steak and heavy on the mushrooms. Not a fan of their fries at all so I usually get either the tots (which aren't anything special but a safe option) or their onion rings. Onion rings are really good, they're battered which I prefer over breaded. read more

Great place to eat! We stopped by for lunch on our way to Fairport Harbor. The Portion sizes were large and prices are very reasonable. Our family of 4 had drinks, apps and food for just over $60 not including tip. The food we had was: the Poor Mans surf and turf, half rack of ribs, fried cod--all of which came with 2 sides- baked potato & coleslaw (or broccoli) and I had the Mug burger and fries. Our waitress was very nice and they have complimentary wifi. read more

So a very nice guy whose name I can't remember, he came around introducing himself at the bar, bought the Pacer's place and made some much liked upgrades and kept the favorites. The inside looks almost the same. I love the bar here and the TVs. It's a great place to catch a game. The outdoor patio is nice as well. The appreciated upgrades are the fries are now fresh cuts again and larger portions. They're now served with cheese sauce and what tastes like a homemade ranch. They were delicious for $5 and went well with a whiskey on the rocks for $6. They also now make all their burgers 1/2lb handmade patties fresh daily. Can't wait to try one. They kept the same delicious pizza crust. It's always a favorite of mine here. The same friendly familiar faces were behind the bar. I feel with the new management and the positive changes,this new place should be a success! Check it out read more

I visited Mean Mugs with a group of 10 for trivia night. The server handled the large table well. The food here is traditional American bar food - burgers, wings, sanwiches and the like. The portions are big, the prices are reasonable, and I was overall very happy with the experience. I ordered the basket of onion rings appetizer, which was a true basket - probably in the 18-20 ring range, with a nice "blooming onion" dipping sauce. They were hot and crunchy, with a mildly beer flavored coating. For my meal I ordered the cod sandwich, which was served on a garlic bread baguette with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce (which I had them remove as I'm not a fan). It was served with a pile of tasty fresh-cut fries. The sandwich was huge - nearly a full sub size. The fish was a bit heavy on the beer batter, but tasty and hot. I would order it again. Definitely check in on the YELP app and get your free fried Oreos! read more

This was our first time here, glad to support a local business that isn't a chain, at least I THINK this is their only location. Don't let the full parking lot fool you! I thought for sure there would be a long wait, but we got seated right away. We had one server takenour drink order and a different server take our food order, that's different read more

Sysco food service food...nothing hand made. Restaurant to loud. Fish fry taste like frozen fish sticks

This place is amazing in so many ways with great pizzas, sandwiches and entrees along with a bar for all your favorite drinks. Lots of TV's to watch your sports team and a great staff to take care of you. They also have as large patio during the nice weather to enjoy. Large portions and a nice variety of food. The soups are delicious along with a large order of onion rings or fries. Everything on the menu is great! read more

This place is a complete joke. You can never ever order take out because they are too busy, and the wait for a table is 3 hours. They got "hit with a party of 50" tonight and that's completely on the management. They didn't allow any other orders or tables at that time. You don't have to accept a table of 50 out of the blue. We won't even try again, as this was the 3rd time we tried to get a table. BYE. read more

Terrible food! Worst I have ever had. Trust me...dont waste your money with this place.

This neighborhood pub is everything. The outdoor seating is comfortable and spacious. The indoor seating is great. Walking in it looks small but the place is huge. I have been there a few times and ordered late night takeout and they did not disappoint. Food comes out fresh and hot. The butterfly shrimp dinner and the burger is amazing. The fries are big and amazing all by themselves. The servers are always helpful and honest about the menu. I love supporting this place. read more

I know you have to find ways to make a profit in the restaurant business but if you must make the chicken breast thin, then don't cook it so much that it is tough as leather. Also as I was taking the last sip of my draft beer I saw a fruit fly swimming in the bottom of my glass read more

Typical sports bar atmosphere. Service and food was really good. Restaurant had a clean welcoming feeling.

All great food, service is excellent, and all areas clean. Be sure and try the wedding soup and wings.

Since the new opening my husband has gotten sick twice from the three times we've been there. The first time I thought maybe we went kinda late and being towards the end of the night something went wrong. The second time our food was excellent and found out the owner cooked that night. The third time we went right after a dinner rush and my husband got sick AGAIN! Unfortunately, until they can get a better Chef not going back!!!!! It's to bad because we used to love the old Mean Mugs. Also, a friend of mine went and he got sick as well. Definitely a problem in their kitchen!! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed having lunch here. We had french fries as an appetizer, fresh cut cooked perfectly. We ordered two small pizza's and they were both delish. I had cheese which in my opinion is always a test for any restaurant and it was great. The cheese blend delicious and sauce tasty. Crust well cooked. My companion had the herbivore (swapping out the tomatoes for pineapple) and said the garlic sauce was really good. We missed seeing the games as we came in; had we seen those we would have played. They were playing really good music too! Definitely glad we got off I90 for this. read more

We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. They are reasonably priced and the food is great. They patio has a great breeze and allow well behaved dogs. Be sure to try their onion rings. Their servers are friendly and service is fast. read more

The food was good, we had the cheese and bacon fries, fish sandwich, Cobb salad, pizza, and the wings with BBQ sauce and the sweet chili sauce. Wings were great... The blue cheese was watery which when asked, people in Ohio are not used to real blue cheese so they had to thin it out. Our waitress was amazing. She did a wonderful job so between the food which was very good (except the thin blue cheese) and the awesome service, that's where my rating comes from. read more

Met friends at the pub 2/24/23 for birthday drinks and dinner. I had never been there before and honestly not much for bar food so I was skeptical about the experience that was about to unfold. Arrived on a Friday at 6:00 PM and the place was packed. Had to circle the lot a couple times to park. I was the first of my party to arrive. There was a wait. We requested a 4 table top in the bar. I thought for sure we would be waiting for a very long time. Much to my surprise only about 15 minutes. I was not even settled in my seat when a very friendly young woman took my drink order. No sooner did she leave me when a second very friendly young lady came to take my drink order! The place was packed. My drink came quickly and the rest of my party arrived shortly after that. Again, once they were seated the waitress was very quick to head over for drink orders. We started with appetizers. $4 shrimp cocktail. We ordered two of those along with some mozzarella sticks. It all came very quickly along with our second drink order. Again these two ladies were tag teaming our table. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT. There was classic rock playing in the background and not so loud that you had to have a conversation by yelling. MUCH APPRECIATED. Made the experience thus far so much more enjoyable for a packed Friday night. For main dishes we had Salmon Dinner. Wings - Stingin' Honey Garlic and Sweet n' Chili. An order of Onion Rings, Pub Chips. Coleslaw. The wings were crispy, juicy and very tasty. The chips were thin and not over done. Onion rings perfect. The salmon dinner was delicious. Everything was so good. Only thing I would add is...the coleslaw barely had any flavor to it as it barely had any dressing on it. The food was fresh. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. Will be returning to check out more items on the menu. No wonder the place was packed. read more

We went to MMP in Mentor for the first time last night. They were very busy, but we were seated right away. Soon our server came to take drink orders and answer menu questions. She was cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks came quickly and we placed our food orders. There 4 of us and our orders were diverse. Our food was served within a reasonable period of time and were correct, hot and delicious! This is a new location for MMP and opened a few weeks ago. They are a well oiled machine, with a great staff and system to provide guests with a wonderful experience. Although this is a large location, they do have good sound control and we were able to talk at normally, without having to compete with tables conversations. The tables are well paced and are not on top one another. Of course, their most important feature for us was their food and we are already planning to return for another great experience in the very near future. You have set the bar very high for your competition to measure up to. Great job, congratulations! read more

Price increase due to inflation which is understandable, however the quality of the food seems to have diminished greatly from when I tried it before they moved locations. Both my wife and I got sandwiches that were so soaked in grease and oil that it was a heart attack on a bun.. and not in the good way. The fries were fun and were good at first but, once again after a few fries the amount of oil in them was a turn off. Not alot of flavor in the food in general. I must say the complementary popcorn was excellent! read more

Fast and friendly. Great chicken tenders! Will go back! Good atmosphere . Check it out

They have the best service, the best environment, and the best pizza I have ever tried in my life!

Our first visit to Mean Mugs Pub! We tried a variety of entrees - burger, pizza and boneless wings. ALL of them were great! Started with some of the best onion rings I've ever had - batter was flavorful and there was an ample amount in our appetizer serving! Pizza was fabulous - dough had a tasty flavor, you could tell it was fresh made. There are a ton of sauces available for the wings - our server was kind enough to bring over a couple for us to sample before making up our mind. Burger was good - next time I will try one of the more "name" burgers from the menu. Oh, and the fries were good - I mean REALLY good! We gave the experience an A+! Mean Mugs Pub has definitely found a spot on our list of favorite restaurants in Mentor! read more

Very popular place. Used to be Pacers. But changed names a few months back. Our ribs came out a bit burnt. But the management insisted that they bring us replacement. Very pleased. I ended up eating ribs for several more days. Food is good and prices are reasonable. Service is great. Highly recommended. read more

So... We went here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. It was slow when we were there. We had adequate service. This restaurant is neat as it has an outside patio as well as inside bar. They have some games like basketball. The portions of food were big with reasonable prices. We both got burgers. They were well seasoned and had interesting toppings. I got the mean mug burger. We also got an app. Their fries I believe are made there, which is always a good way to start. They were also salted because I firmly believe that if you don't salt fries immediately, there is no hope to get salt on them later. There seems to be some cool events. I want to go back and see how those are. read more

Typical neighborhood bar which is comfortable to me. Still a family place though. Typical items on the menu. I'm from out of town but still felt welcome here. Had the wedge salad with steak added. It was huge! And tasty. :) sat at the bar and had a friendly bartender that let me taste all the IPAs before making the very important decision. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner and we really enjoyed the food, service and drinks. I'm a vegetarian and had a question about their veggie patty. The owner came out and talked to us. He was really nice and really wanted to make sure we had our questions answered. I was impressed on how accommodating he was to us. I ordered the veggie pattern and got the 'Big Boy' version. It was REALLY good. I liked it. There was also a veggie wrap that looked good that I may try next time. My hubby got a chicken quesadilla that he thought was good. The drink and food specials were good. They had $2 drafts so I got a Blue Moon. It hit the spot while we sat on the patio. Overall, this spot is great. I loved how friendly and helpful they were and the food is good. I'm happy Mentor finally has a local owned business that isn't a chain with good food. We will be back. read more

Stopped here for lunch with the kids on a Tuesday - $2 off burgers. Had the mugs burger - really good - large juicy and delicious. Sat outside on a nice summer day . Daughter inlaws had hangover burger - was good but the mugs burgers was best. Had a grilled cheese on either side, onion rings bacon and BBQ sauce - great. Fries were good Highly recommend - worth the few miles from i90 read more

This place was awesome. Can't wait to go back when I am in town. Food was delicious and service was good. Had a great experience here and am only mad that I was full and couldn't eat more. Good portions for price for the quality of food. You won't be dissatisfied at least if they treat every customer the same read more

They have terrible service and they didn't except my real ID. I'm 21 and they gave attitude to my friend who told them she wasn't drinking when they asked to see her ID. the service is so awful, and as a waitress this is so poor. I do not recommend coming to this place. Manager was rude, server seemed rushed and didn't take her time at our table. Never came and checked on us. Awful. Do NOT come here. read more

Second time here in a week. Our wings, pizza, and burgers were outstanding! We brought another family since we liked it much, and it will be included in the regular rotation! Thanks for the great place! read more

Really, really good burgers!! Could use updated drink menu, but everything is delicious.

Big ups for whoever did the staffing. Our bartender at the patio was Erin tonight. She's a brilliant, total pro; she approaches every patron with a smile, introduced herself, mentioned the specials, and checked in on us in a timely manner. Excellent, enthusiastic service brings this review to a five star. I think I said no frills or no airs before, but I correct myself now- the frill is in the service. It's been consistently very good. Enjoyed another great night, date night- late night bite with Best here. Thanks Erin! You are 5 brilliant stars. Aaand, to echo other reviews, yes the boardwalk fries are good, and yes, the wing special is so awesome on Wednesdays! read more

Omg the food was great! Way more portions Than your average restaurant CLEAN and nice inside the mug burger is actually enough food for 2.

Quite a nice variety on this menu and really, something for everyone's taste buds! Had a taste for broccoli today (yeah, so weird) and voila, delicious and well prepared. My fiance chose the traditional - wings and fries, and both were freshly made, although the wings were under-sauced. The wait staff was friendly and fun, and the prices a great value. Clean bathrooms and restaurant, and we'll be back! Lots of TVs for OSU and Brown's season, and a table full of toys for kids to engage with...put those phones down. (Oh yeah...me first!) read more

First time dining in at the place and we all ordered burgers but the temperature of the food was room temperature like it's been ready for awhile but nobody brought it out. Our waitress was nowhere to be seen most of the time especially when we were waiting for our check. We understand she was training but she walked passed us multiple times but didn't even acknowledge us. The trainee paid more attention to us more than the waitress. My buns looked all wet from the patty and sauce that I had to eat it with a fork. The burger wasn't cooked medium rare and my friends fries were okay but weren't the best after they got cold. Our Oreos were okay but needed more sugar. I'd rather just drink at bar next time instead of getting food. Also, the place needed some cleaning..I was about to grab napkins and I noticed all the dust. read more
