    Steak Sammy

    When we first walked in, kinda lost as to if we were supposed to seat ourselves or not but then quickly found someone and asked. The waiter came to our table quickly and was like "whatca drinking" she said that as she gave us our menus (so super fast). Coming from out of town we needed a min to review the menu and what they had to offer. The ambiance was great, at first we were at a table then we took over a booth shortly after a larger party and it was awesome! I went with my family. My father ordered the chips and dip, my mother the steak Sammy and I got the pulled pork nachos with sour cream on the side. Pulled pork was flavorful and complemented the seasoning they use on the chips (I think its jalapeño seasoning?) Not very hot at all in terms of spicy.

    Nora's has some of the best burgers and mac n cheese around! A little pricy but worth it. I love the atmosphere with the big booths! The service has always been top notch!

    Nora's Public House-Cleveland Pierogi Week special-Bangers with mashed-stuffed pierogi and sautéed onion.

    Stoped here last year because of Cleveland Pierogi Week and agreed, this was the best of the week. Again this year, they take the title. Don't wait until next year to try this place. Many of the items on their menu are excellent. We're especially fond of their soup specials. We are overjoyed that Pierogi Week introduced us to Nora, but more excited that the other 51 weeks of the year feature tasty options and friendly service.

    Came here with 7 others for a Sunday brunch. Douglas was our server as well as the bar tender. He did a fine job. The cinnamon old fashioned was very nice. I also tried the acacia toast which was great. Will definitely fine again !!

    In Willoughby I find myself always having a good meal at Noras. It's the perfect spot to pop in for lunch or a night of dinner and drinking. The bartenders are great, the cooks are professional, and just the whole vibe in this establishment is amazing.

    This is a really cool Irish type pub. They even have an outdoor patio behind the restaurant for when the weather is nice. Good selection of beer and pub food.

    Soda options are coke products

    This restaurant is operating with indoor seating and they try to space you apart. I'd never been here but I heard the menu recently shifted in tone - I would say this location is now aiming for the British bar vibe. The food was average and the portions were large. Prices are reasonable and service is nice. I would say, if you're coming for lunch hour that you should allot for 90 minutes.

    Food was amazing stopped in for wing week and stayed for tacos, staff was great very attentive and moving like industry ninjas! The wings were a candied pecan and the had this little kick of spice that made them even more phenomenal!! The tacos were great I normally prefer hard shells but I gave them a try and I'm glad I did they had so much spice and flavor I will definitely be coming back!!

    Peach bourbon honey sriracha wings paired with a peach high noon and side of fries

    The highlight of Cleveland Wing Week. Came here to try the peach bourbon honey sriracha wings and they were fantastic. The sweet to heat ratio was phenomenal. The flavors in the sauce collaborated nicely and neither one over powered the other. The fries were fresh and the high noon was cold. I've frequented downtown willoughby for almost a decide and this was my first time inside of Nora's. The theme of the bar was Ireland so there's Irish flags and whiskey swag all over the place. The whiskey selection was more than the average bar. The only thing that kept this experience from being 5 stars was the service. It's was a wonderful Saturday afternoon and there appeared to be some festival in downtown willoughby. When I entered Nora's all the other guests were outside on the patio. I was the only customer inside. While I was there I watched two couples enter, sit, and leave due to lack of service. I didn't experience this issue. I will definitely return.

    Shepards pie and my hubby got bangers and mash and an old fashioned. Delicious

    Great local bar. Very good food and service. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it's a little pricey.

    Great outdoor patio, and food is amazing. My biggest issue is the outlandish pricing. A lunch and a drink for 2 costs you about $50.

    So this bar is one I grew up in, back in the 90s it was The Locker Room, its been like 5 things…read moresince then though! It's not whining any atmosphere awards any time soon but if everyone knew how good the food was, there would be a line down Lost Nation. We went on a Monday night because my aunt had been there and had tried a few things but hadn't had the potato pancakes yet. Our table ordered multiple orders of potato pancakes, stuffed mushrooms and pretzels. Their beer cheese has been taunting me since, it was so good!!!! Really all the food was absolutely delicious. The server we had was great! My aunt said their day time cook/chef is an amazing lady, we didn't meet her this trip but the food was great so I'll trust that! An added bonus to this bar, they use puree instead of syrup in the drinks. There is a berry lemonade that my aunt and grandma ordered that was out of this world! If I was a drinker I'd go back for that! Instead I'm going back to eat my weight in anything they will cover in beer cheese!

    So I've been to this place a few times, and there always seems to be tension among the staff. Today…read morebeing St. Pat's Day, I assumed it would be busy. And it was. There was ONE poor female bartender working her not so young butt off serving probably 60 people all alone. At one point another woman showed up, who I later discovered was the owner, and the bartender finally took a minute to sit down, at which point the new bartender told her that if you're going to sit there, just go home. They got in a brief shouting match in front of patrons (which I was told happens frequently) and I saw her on the patio looking so defeated. I told her I saw what happened and told her she was doing great and gave her a nice tip. But that's the last time I will patronize that place after seeing how horribly the owner treats her staff. I see why she was the only one working, probably because no one else will.

Off the top maybe 5-6 tables and a bar that holds 10-12 people if I was guessing. Multiple TVs playing all sports. Keno, Jukebox also available. Nice neighborhood bar. Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

    The best burger in Cleveland like... hands down. This is a dive bar but man is the food there…read moreamazing. When you pull up it looks like a dive from the 1960's or a small Soviet bloc, not many windows and just a square little building, but you come inside and the people are inviting and friendly and the food is out of this world. I got the smash burger onion rings and some loaded tots and it was delicious. Their toilet has an awesome Andrew Warhol version of Misney there which is just a chefs kiss added touch to this place. 5 stars hands down

    We were in the mood for a good burger and we saw that this place had been voted "Best Burger in…read moreCleveland!" So we figured we'd try it out! If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.
