If you're looking for a pub/relaxed restaurant vibe in the heart of Cleveland Heights, this is the one for you! Quick and friendly service, lots of food and beverage choices, and plentiful seating. On my most recent visit, I got the chicken strips with buffalo sauce, which were very tender and full of flavor. You can also ask to go through the candy bowl before you leave, and there are tons of mouthwatering pieces to pick from! read more

It's National Hamburger Day! I knew exactly where I wanted to go: New Heights Grill! The hamburger is made perfectly. The fries are made perfectly. Do you see a pattern? This restaurant is PERFECT! Willie was our server. He remembered everything we ordered, and always was personable and attentive. New Heights Grill has been a favorite of mine for many years. I love the informal atmosphere right in the Cedar Lee district. Dessert is always the smile-maker as an enormous stainless steel bowl is plopped on the table, filled with chocolate candies. What a great place! read more

We are still in the phase of finding new places in our new neighborhood, and I was REALLY excited when we read about this place. When we walked in, excitement increased. It has the neighborhood dive feel I love SO FREAKING MUCH. Like, I guarantee you there's a guy named Gary who comes in there 5 times a week who sits down at the bar and just gets handed the same beer he gets every time he's in there. There are probably ten Garys, actually. I loved the vibes. The service was friendly, and the table we sat at was clean. The food was disappointing. Looking back, we should've ordered something a bit more... pub food-like? A burger, chicken wings, something along those lines. My wife hadn't had lunch, and she ordered a steak and potatoes, and I needed to get some sleep before working late so I ordered on the lighter side, a chicken wrap of some kind from the specials. Both were mistakes, They were cooked properly, but her steak was not a great piece of meat, and my wrap was just chicken, chorizo, and cheese on a tortilla. It needed some veg or a sauce or something. We're going to go back and give this place another shot, because I want SO MUCH for it to be good. I'm going to check through the other reviews to see what others really liked. This place has the potential to be a regular stop just based on the vibes, which I love, love, love. read more

I just had the best damn sandwich. A pesto chicken breast on ciabatta, grilled to perfection and NOT smothered by the pesto. It was perfect. And cole slaw on the side. Not the usually creamy-drippy minced-to-mush sweet stuff you usually find, but broad cut and minimally saturated in what seemed to be a light vinaigrette so that it was still crisp and tasting of itself. I don't know who these guys are but I've been there five or 10 times in the fairly recent past and they know something about food. And they take great care and pride in showing it. read more

Oops. Sorry I didn't take more pictures. Came here on MLK day for a late lunch. Plenty of seating available. There's a little parking lot, which was nice. We sat at the bar. The bartender was very quiet; it was hard to hear him. But he was nice enough. There was a lady who was working (maybe the owner?) and she was very bright and bubbly! We got the Mexican street corn dip and it was great. I was excited to see a vegetarian section of the menu. However, the cauliflower wrap was made with cauliflower fried in the same vat as the meat, so just be cautioned if you're a strict vegetarian. The menu was misleading. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this place and I would come back again! read more

My friends and I stopped in to watch the game, have dinner and drinks. Our service waiter, Adam was very attractive and attentive. He made excellent drinks, and kept us laughing. He was definitely hot!! Adam is aka as Adam Fine AF!! And he's a little Bo-legged....you can tell by the way his jeans fit. Come here to chill, watch a game, have a great drink or a great meal....either way you won't regret it. This place is the cat's meow read more

Wow. I am so impressed with this little joint. I came with some girlfriends for some lunch after we visited the Cleveland art museum. I did a search for wings and decided to test my luck with New Heights Grill because it was one of the first suggestions. I'm so happy that I did!! The food was fresh and tasted soooo good. It's pretty easy to have mediocre bar food, but this place is not that. The wings were delicious and so tender. The sauces tasted homemade, but I'm not sure if they are. It also passes the ranch test!!! The waffle fries were perfectly crisp. Portions were great and drinks were strongggg! We shared potato skins and pickle chips. They came out steaming and perfect. The ladies are still talking about it and we will surely be back!! Special shout out to our server. I didn't catch her name, but she was so nice and attentive to us. She made sure we had everything we needed and never had to ask for a refill. This is a place that would be great for a game, lunch alone, dinner with the family, or really anything in between. I recommend this place if you want great food, strong drinks, and a warm/inviting atmosphere. read more

The food from New Heights grill is always good and the service is exceptional!! Always enjoy eating in or dining out read more

Great menu, food, service, and atmosphere. Stopped in for lunch and wasn't disappointed. The sweet tots were delicious but they needed a dipping sauce of some kind. I just used the mustard. read more

Let me start by saying, I love this place. I love to come here watch the Browns and Guardians, the food is wonderful and always fresh, but the service sometimes leaves something to be desired. It has never stopped me from coming but you do have to have a certain level of patience and ability to roll with the punches to fully enjoy this place. But I will continue to come back and love this place!! read more

Really good food. Excellent burger. Great sweet potato fries. Service was interesting. Of course we sat outside and it was busy inside. They seemed short staffed today. Great place to watch sports or just enjoy good food. Give them a try. Not far from Cedar Lee theatre. When they get that parking lot open behind theatre it will be nice again. Restaurant has parking. read more

The New Heights Salad was amazing. I got steak with it and it was cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced and the service was awesome. Very attentive. Thanks for a great lunch. Definitely will be back! read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted somewhere with a little bit of something for everyone. The service was stellar, the food was phenomenal and a party of 10 was in and out in under an hour. Highly recommend the onion rings, wings and the ribeye. Delicious!!! read more

This place reminds me of those restaurants/bars that you would go to after your sporting events in grade school for a good meal. We ordered mostly appetizers to share for our meal. Here is what we ordered: Appetizers: - Reuben balls - these were tasty but kind of strange. They definitely taste the best when paired with the sauce they come with. - mozzarella moons - these were decent but kind of bland in my opinion - Cajun calamari - one of the better calamari dishes we have had in Cleveland - Buffalo chicken dip with pita - excellent because they didn't try to get fancy with it! My favorite appetizer! - soft pretzel sticks - these were just ok. They were a little hard in some spots Soups: - chicken and dumpling (soup of the day) - so good! This is the kind of dish that we will be coming in for on a winter day! - potato cheddar soup - this one was just alright. I could see it being a better dip than a soup though - chili - the chili was a miss in my opinion. It had the consistency of salsa and just wasn't great in terms of flavor. Wings: - 12 Sweet BBQ boneless wings - these were delicious! I will definitely be ordering this flavor again! My husband and stepsons love boneless but I'll probably be ordering the bone in for myself next time. We are excited to try other flavors too! - 12 Garlic Parmesan boneless wings - these were really good too in terms of flavor but were a bit dry. I wish they were a bit more saucy. Side dishes: Shoe string fries - Yum!!! These were delicious and definitely something I'll be ordering again. Next time I'll ask if they have vinegar to go with them. Waffle fries - my husband and stepsons really enjoyed the waffle fries. They were not my favorite because they had a seasoning on them that was orange in color that I don't really care for. This is a personal preference thing. Overall, New Heights Grill was delicious, the staff was kind and the interior was nostalgic with many tvs to watch sports on! We are excited to return! read more

Food while not out of this world, is good bar food. The staff also seem really nice and never had any issues. They seem quick to resolve problems the few times that ever happens, which has never happened with me, but other patrons. I am impressed with their quick response time. It is a laid back place that is nicer than a dive tavern and a nice place to hang out with friends after a hard day at work. read more

Heights is not bad. It's kind of a sports bar with all the tvs etc. And they have some decent menu items. You'll find a mixed crowd at the bar most nights. They have some basketball game in the corner that's kind of annoying. Their burgers are good. The ribeye is good. The Cuban sandwich is good. Buffalo chicken sandwich and fish and chips are ok. Service is generally pretty good, but cash out time takes forever. I'm not sure why. They have a decent selection of drafts and bottles and a full bar. When it gets very busy, service slows considerably. Servers are nice. They have a big candy bowl, which they bring around after your meal which is a nice touch. I've been coming in ten years. Everybody knows the owner except me..... read more

This GRILLE never fails. Excellent food and our waiter Adam a.k.a Adam FineAF made the best drinks ever. Make it your business to come here. Big TV screens, big portions, OUTSTANDING service, and drinks, especially when Adam is taking care of you! read more

Met my girl here and I swear this was a man cave...bar was full of men, only. My girl and I sat down at the last two seats and after the one bartender came over and we weren't ready, he never came back. Luckily Nadia was there! She is fun, honest about the menu items and gets stuff done! What I wanted wasn't exactly on the menu but she said...hold on. Came back and 5min later, Boom! We also had the fried cod which looked like it lept onto the plate and it was perfectly seasoned! Tater tots, cannot go wrong with those! We had the plain, so I am sure the cheesy and mexi and Italian, etc are excellent! Next time.. Lastly, a note...they have Happy Hour all day, $3well drinks and I think $2 beer. No food specials, but that's a cool lil discount! read more

My calamari was great as usual, but the Cuban sandwich didn't have the mayo I requested to sub for the mustard and pickles I asked to have held. It was a dry sad sandwich not blended together well by any sauce. Disappointing. read more

Typical dive bar with less than average food. I had the heights burger with fries. Which consisted of a frozen patty cooked till well done and fresh cut fries cooked in dirty oil. Bathroom was less than appealing and could use some work for sure. The service was attentive and timely. With all the other options in the area try somewhere else. read more

We came here before a concert at Cain Park. We had drinks and 3 of us had the Perch Poboys, one had the Reuben. We were all really happy with our meals! We'll definitely be back. read more

It tends to be busy, so there's a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. The staff is pleasant. The menu has interesting options and specials. Laid back casual atmosphere. Everything I've eaten here was good. Definitely try the fried pickles. read more

I went on a Saturday evening with my husband and son. We sat right away which was nice as it was prime time dinner time. 5:30ish. We ordered the corned beef ball appetizer, which was just okay. Since we were starving, they three huge meatball-esque balls were good. I ordered the special portobello sandwich, my husband got cordon blue sandwich and kids Mac and cheese for my son. After about 20-25 min, our order finally came out. Mine was ok-- needed an aioli or something. Way too much raw red onion. And the most ridiculous part was only 4 onion rings... and for a $2.99 up charge--- just don't do it. My husband liked him sandwich and my son enjoyed the fries and Mac and cheese. This is a staple location for my extended family, I think Kelly, the owner, went to school with some aunts?? I just wasn't that impressed and wondered if my family does only for the connection to Heights. read more

Probably my favorite spot to grab a cheap bite to eat in the Cleveland Heights area. The menu is MASSIVE and everything is reasonably priced. The place can get very busy at times but i have never had an issue finding a table. The staff is full of very kind people and they're always on their A-game. It can get very loud on the weekends but that's my only complaint. My favorite dish is the Salmon Wrap! read more

This is our 2nd time here so this is more of an updated review. Upon our arrival at about 12:30 today (Saturday), we noticed a lot less chairs available to sit at since last visit last summer. We opted for 2 bar stools that we brought together. The bar stools were extremely far apart so kudos to the staff for adhering to social distancing. Each of us had a draft beer whilest deciding on our lunches. So much to choose from. Apps, soups, burgers, sammys, dinners, specials.....not pages of food because that becomes overwhelming. It's the perfect amount of choices. My husband choose a cup of the daily soup (navy bean and ham) which came out IMMEDIATELY after asking for it. Piping hot and so good - I wished I had ordered a bowl of it for me. Instead, I got a spoonful to try. Our actual order was a chicken, apple wrap and a fish sandwich - each with chips. So good and even more reasonably priced than anticipated after getting the bill. This tavern is a smidge out of our way but we really just need to put this in our lunch rotation. Go and have a great meal! read more

What a great find! We were in the area, decided to try someplace new. This place has a great hometown sports bar vibe. Great beer selection, I had a Masthead IPA which was a good choice. Great service, and the food was excellent. I had the Dagwood melt, my wife had the shrimp Po Boy, both were spot on. Love their waffle fries, too. Will definitely be back. read more

The Cuban sandwich is good. Buffalo chicken sandwich and fish and chips are ok. Service is generally pretty good, but cash out time takes forever. I'm not sure why.

We walked in off the street around 5pm on a Saturday. I got that nostalgic feeling walking in, a large bar on the side wall and large seating area. Makes me think of my old stomping ground. Our service was p, it was pretty busy when we can in so prompt isnt the word I would use but I wasn't searching for our waitress to flag her down either. K got the shrimp poboy, it was massive and delicious. I got the nachos with chicken a sour cream and guac. It was to die for. All in all a great experience. *pokestop right outside! :) read more

My boyfriend and I love a good tavern, but many don't have good quality food. This place is awesome for great quality tavern food. The loaded fries were the best I've had, and the pita for the Buffalo dip was the perfect crispiness and temperature. I was legitimately shocked at how good the food was. The wings were also cooked very well. Not to mention, the beer was very cold. Absolutely coming back for a chill casual dinner. read more

New Heights Grill is great for pub gub. Pretty unassuming inside though a good bar for watching sports. Tater tots are always good, and the sandwiches are tasty- we've eaten in (pre-pandemic) and have done takeaway. It's a fun neighborhood haunt! read more

They have a variety of very good tasting foods. There is something on the menu for everyone. Check it out!

Tried a new restaurant for dinner and we were not disappointed. I got the Turkey burger and waffle fries which were so good. My boyfriend got the wings and I've never had better wings I swear. The Buffalo sauce was amazing and they were cooked perfectly. The service was also good & we didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. Holy recommend if you are looking for a casual dinner read more

I just can't say enough good things about New Heights Grill. I have seen some negative reviews citing slow service, and honestly, sometimes their service isn't the fastest. However, what they lack in speed, they make up for in personality. The staff at New Heights are some of the friendliest people I've had the pleasure of meeting, and once you've been there a couple times, they'll remember you. I go for Thursday night trivia, and it's generally pretty packed. I'm usually at a table with 4-6 people, and without us even having to say a word, Terrence knows exactly what each of us are going to order to drink and brings them over. The prices are a bit better than a few of the other local places I've visited, and I have never been disappointed by anything I've ordered. I highly recommend the onion rings - they're some of the best I've ever had! If you're looking for stellar quick service, this may not be the place for you. The staff are usually running all over when it's packed, which leads to a bit of a wait. However, if you're looking for a fun, laid back place to feel welcomed and have a relaxed meal or drink, I'd highly recommend checking them out! read more

Best local dive bar around. I'm from WI and live for a quality dive bar, and I finally found my bar. Staff and service are always great. My wife and I go there often for their wings, which are the best in town. Get the habanero dry rub on the side because that stuff is super hot read more
