We ordered takeout from Pub Frato on a Saturday night after a visit to Holden Arboretum. Starting off, the woman on the phone could not have been friendlier despite an obviously packed restaurant (I could just tell from the noise in the background). She read off all the specials for me. We opted for the shrimp tacos and cauliflower tacos (not specials - just on the regular menu). She also listed off the different sides we could swap for the fries - we chose the graciella salad and the brussels sprouts. $33 total. Upon arriving home and doing a quick reheat on the oven (we live 40 mins away), it became obvious why this place was named best gastropub multiple years in a row. Everything was just above and beyond. Nothing over the top, but not boring basics either - just really well executed on all fronts. We'll be back, whether or not we have anything else to do in the area. It's worth the drive! read more

Stopped in for a friends birthday party and had a good time! They had a table of food filled with pretzel bites, an assortment of tacos and pizza. The food was fantastic! They kept the food table stocked and clean, which was nice. As for drinks, we tried the raspberry iced tea. They were very tasty and strong! If you like a good strong drink then this is the drink for you! One will do the job and two well, it will definitely make you happy! The atmosphere is like an upscale pub with a cozy feel. The dining room and bar were clean and the service was great! I'd recommend trying the tacos, I can't pick a favorite because they were all good! Needless to say after two raspberry teas and some tacos we left very happy! We will definitely be back! read more

We decided to try take out due to the Covid and was pleasantly surprised! Food tastes just as amazing as if you were dining in. Thanks for being consistent! read more

So after this facility had been open for about eight weeks, we decided to give it a try. Figuring that after eight weeks they would no longer be "in the weeds". We had planned on having dinner there that night. The food that we saw coming out looked great and we had a really good feeling about the place, diverse clientele lots of happy chatter and very busy. However the longer we sat there as more people came in, it became so loud we couldn't hear ourselves think. The food looked great, but conversation was impossible. High ceilings and absolutely no acoustic tiles or baffles. After 2 drinks we finally gave up and tried another place for dinner. Next time instead of going in on a Friday will try for Tuesday. read more

The restaurant was having a holiday party while dinning. The party was not well contained and there were guests walking around without masks. I asked to move tables away from the holiday party, and they were quick to accommodate. The food and drinks were lacking uniqueness, but a solid meal nonetheless. read more

Went here for lunch with a group of 8 co-workers and they accommodated is very well. The location has a great atmosphere inside, despite being in a small shopping plaza. You can tell the staff here is quirky/funny with all the cool notes on their chalkboards! E.g. for their drinks list, they had many beers and 1 Prosecco listed. The beers had their ABV %s listed while the Prosecco had 100% bubbly listed. I cracked up . I will return for lunch another time to try more of the menu! The lunch offerings range from salads, to sandwiches, to burgers at lunch. Based on all the meals that my coworkers and I got, I can assure you that everything on the menu looks and tastes amazing. If you are looking for a gastro pub vibe, this is your place. If you live in the area, also consider stopping in for drinks at the full bar! read more

The food at this restaurant is delicious. I've been here many times. This visit I ordered the braised short ribs and the barktober beer. And, for dessert the bacon baklava (pictured below). Another time, I ordered the brisket sandwich and the Brussel sprouts. carryout was fast and easy. I paid over the phone and picked up the good within 15-20 minutes. They have designated parking for carryout right in front. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I'm not sure why all of the rave reviews... I was there for dinner with my family and found the place to be loud and "worn". I got the fish and chips... I should have just got Gordens fish sticks!!! The fish was terrible and the "chips" fries greasy and sparse . The Cole slaw was tasteless as thought they forgot to put the dressing in it! Overall a terrible experience and not worth the money. I don't usually give such bad reviews but Pub Fredo deserves this one. Fortunately the service was good thats why a second star.... read more

This place is fantastic!! They have great drinks.. awesome service and the best food! Highly recommend!

This place was not bad. I'd prefer corn tortillas for my tacos though. Maybe I sure have specified, maybe they should've. Next time I will ask. read more

Shoutout to our friendly waitress Andrea whose beer recommendation was spot on! It was Taco Tuesday so I chose the short rib tacos with aioli hand cut fries. Delicious! My partner's hamburger was cooked to order and satisfying. read more

Met some friends for brunch. Decided to try the Lemon Ricotta pancakes, something new and different. $14 for 3 underwhelming, burned on the bottom pancakes. They were also pretty cheap with the berry topping, as you can see. They were also served to me with syrup already poured all over them, which I should have been able to do myself. A friend ordered the chicken and waffles and the coating on the chicken was bland, no taste. Disappointed, won't go back for brunch. Service was good and attentive though. read more

Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at their beers. I'm a regular at Pub Frato and highly enjoy their atmosphere, the large craft beer selection, the delicious food, and the best damn bartenders I've ever had! read more

I hate to post negative reviews especially when I've always loved this place. This has always been our top two places for brunch until our recent visit. They totally changed the brunch menu and raised the prices. I can understand the higher prices, but the food choices aren't that great compared to what they used to offer. My husband and I both got just a regular breakfast. The over easy eggs came over hard with browned whites. The bacon was so overly smoky that we couldn't even eat it. Our hands smelled like smoke all day. The potatoes weren't as good as how they used to be, but the sour dough toast was pretty good. I'm so disappointed in our breakfast and the few new choices. Hope that the summer brings back the old favorites. read more

Stopped here for lunch this afternoon while on a drive to see fall foliage. Found a great beer list, helpful staff and good food. As we were leaving my wife said, 'if this was closer we would come here all the time.' We will definitely visit again when we are in the area. read more

Great food and service. The seating a little tight, but seems to work well with the ambiance.

My daughter made reservations for a good night of fun and food. The food was up there with some of the worse food I've had at a restaurant. The fish was saturated with oil, French fries were awful, cole slaw was spoiled. The chicken on my Caesar salad was like rubber. ( sent it back because a few of us couldn't cut the chicken on it, that cost an extra $7). Macaroni and cheese was cheaply made. The rice on the tofu salad was one big glob of paste, with only one piece of tofu. If your paying for atmosphere, you got it. I'm not from the area so I won't ever come back. And I can assure you, when I visit again, she will not be bringing me there. Nor will she or her boys be back. For the price you charge, you'd better get a grip. Too much good competition out there. Shameful food!! read more

BEST PIROGIES EVER!!!!!! I would return everyone I am in town for them. The building exterior doesn't reflect the modern interior. We tried brunch. My husband had decent French toast. My burger bun was great. My only complain was the kitchen was slower than we needed. We had to be somewhere. The server was attentive. The bathroom was very clean. By noon there was a wait. Portion are large and filling. read more

Stopped in Concord to spend the night on the way a friends. Pub Frato was close to the hotel. It was a Saturday night and there was a good crowd there, seemed mostly to be locals, the atmosphere there was good. Good menu selection for dinner, I had a smoked brisket patty melt and my daughter had a roasted cauliflower steak. Both were good. Didn't have to wait long for the food. There's a good draft beer selection. We sat at the bar, bartenders were pleasant and attentive. The restaurant was clean and everyone there seemed pleasant. I'd go back if I was in the area again. read more

This pub is wonderful. The food and drinks are delicious and very creative. We enjoyed the truffle fries, cod fish tacos and Poutine. My 4 star rating was due to the service was slow and we had to constantly ask for silverware, napkins, plates, and water. I know there is a staff shortage, but the service looks very disorganized. I'm sure it will get better with some better training. read more

I'm from New England & each time I'm in Mentor visiting family, I dine here at least once. Can't go wrong.

Willing to try it again due to many good things I've heard about Pub Frato but I think the Nashville chicken is a frozen patty with spicy breading and the Mac n Cheese was so old the cheese was coagulating. Why is "buffalo chicken" and "Nashville chicken" the same thing? The hot pretzel was the best thing. Oh, the fries are pretty good so that does make me want to try a burger. read more

So, I just had an amazing experience dining here this evening. It all starts with the service. Our bartender, Paulie, was awesome! I can't tell you how many times I go out and feel like I'm imposing for asking questions or get very little interaction from the staff. Here, I felt welcomed and appreciated to be dining here. This alone, will make me a repeat customer. The food is spot on. We had a a top-notch burger and a unique grilled cheese. Don't forget to order a pretzel as your appetizer. Oh, Paulie makes a darn-good Manhattan as well! #Eastside read more

Always busy, but for a good reason. The menu is small, but each item is tasty. Don't feel like it's only a place to eat, It's also nice spot to grab a beer at happy hour. Unless you plan on sitting at the bar, this place does seem to require a reservation. 10/10 would go back read more

Had a great experience here. My boyfriend is particular about his beer and the server recommended one he was very pleased with. We shared the Charcuterie Board and it was excellent! There was so much food we were able to eat our fill and take leftovers home with us. We will definitely be returning! read more

Decided to grab a bite to eat and choose one of our favs, Pub Frato. Was able to get a table for four on a busy Saturday night. Had to wait just a few minutes for the table to be set but was not in any hurry. Our dinner partners arrived just as the table was ready. Sat down and ordered our drinks. If you're looking for a classic Bloddy Mary, you will not be disappointed. Was thinking about a second, but after the holidays thought better of it. Now the meals. Two went for their usual, Pub Burger, which was perfect. Another went with his fav, tacos. Again perfection. Me, I did a change up. Switched from the Pub Burger to the Grilled Cheese BLT. Let me tell you in one word, #OMG! Ok that's three but you get the point. Grilled to perfection sourdough bread, with Middlefield Swiss cheese; American cheese; Applewood bacon; tomato marmalade and arugla. Another great sandwich to decide about. A great Lake County spot and easy to find just south of I-90 and RT 44 in Concord Twp. Don't delay visit ASAP!! read more

The service here is great, although one of my coffee cups was dirty which was the only negative thing about this place. The soup was delicious and the grilled cheese blt was tasty but one downside is it seemed to be all bread. Also their happy hour mimosas on Saturday are pretty good and this is a great place to start your day drinking. read more

We were just driving around trying to find a place for dinner and a few drinks this weekend and stumbled upon Pub Frato... I am so glad we did! Walking in, I immediately liked the cool vibe that the place gave off; it seemed like it could easily be picked up and moved to Tremont and fit in perfectly. There were no tables available right away, but we ordered drinks at the bar and only had to wait about 10 minutes before we were seated, so that was no problem at all! As an appetizer, we ordered the truffle fries-yum! The garlic aoli stole the show on this dish. My entree was amazing! I had the macaroni and cheese which was made with Gruyere and cheddar cheeses and topped with herb cracker crumbs. It was cheesy, gooey, and perfect! The portion size is HUGE (yay leftovers!), and I was definitely happy with what I ordered. My boyfriend ordered the flat iron steak, and his plate came out looking gorgeous; the presentation was worthy of any "fancy" restaurant. He was pleasantly surprised since he isn't the biggest fan of "hip place," preferring to go into tried and true favorites. He licked his plate clean... not even a kernel of the corn succotash was left in the red wine reduction swirled around the plate. There is a huge selection of beers and a fun cocktail list, so this would be a fun place to stop for just a couple of drinks too! Something else to note that I thought was unique is that they have a "communal table" so that smaller parties can sit together and meet others in the area... kind of a fun idea! I am very glad we came in to Pub Frato, and I will be returning when I am in the area read more

We stopped here on our way back to Michigan after searching for a restaurant online. What a great find! We had the truffle fries as an appetizer; they were crisp and had awesome flavor. We had the shrimp tacos with pirogies and chicken tacos with Caesar salad. The shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. The pirogies were a generous potion and fried to perfection - served with onions on top. The tacos were "Nashville hot" with a delicious smoky taste (warming - these do have a kick!). The side Caesar was also a generous portion with just the right amount of dressing. Andrea was our server and took excellent care of us - very attentive and super friendly. We enjoyed our food so much we got a bread pudding to go! Highly recommend you check this place out - you won't be disappointed. read more

Best customer service we've received in 2020. We were filming in Geneva with everything closed before 8:30 pm. They let us place a pick up order right before close and we're extremely accommodating. read more

We stopped in here with some friends unbeknownst to us they had already had dinner, therefore my wife and I had to grab something to eat while they were drinking. However the evening started with us at the bar, waiting for the table which is fine with me. I started out with two cousins draft beer which must be somewhere around 50% alcohol because they hit me like a rock! The bartender was able to transfer our tab over to the table which is not a common practice but I tip to the bartender anyway. Once we got your table we have 3 or 4 more beers and ended up ordering some light snacks. After all this place is not known for large heavy meals and the whole light snack motif is apparent. Now I have been to bars before that had a Tater Tot obsession and when you order tater tots they serve you mountains of tater tots topped with every bit of cheese and bacon it seems Northeast Ohio has to offer. However when we ordered tater tots here what we got was much different than what I was expecting. What we received, although delicious, was five tater tots. 5. The tater tots were just a little larger than normal and they appeared to be handmade and came with a couple different dipping sauces. However I wish the menu would have said hey you going to get just five tater tots with this. It was easily remedied by ordering another round of tater tots, but I just kind of wish they would have disclosed that it was not your normal Northeast Ohio mountain of tater tots. Our server was attentive, easy to flag down, table was cleaned off, and the check was brought promptly when we when we asked for it. Overall it was a really enjoyable night but I think they are too maybe include some pictures in their menu. read more

Great little place . Fun menu with unique fun menu and nice craft cocktails . Been there many times always fun

The food was delicious and our server, Pauly was wonderful!! The "hostess" almost made us leave before being seated..... glad we stayed but the hostess needs some serious training!! read more

We stopped for lunch while we were in the area in September. What a pleasant time we had! We sat outside to enjoy the sunshine. The server was as polite and attentive as she could be. They have the best Pub Burgers and fries. So fresh and juicy, YUM! When we're in the area again we will make sure to stop for another delicious meal! Thanks guys +++++ read more

We had a reservation for 2 on a Saturday evening at 6:00 and after a short wait were seated. Our server came buy after a few minutes and took our drink order. While it took a while to get our drinks, both cocktails were good. We ordered the Short rib Pierogies app and again, after a moderate wait, received our food. The pierogies were well presented and were quite good. Unfortunately that is where the experience went downhill. We ordered the Mac N Cheese with added short rib and the Pork Schnitzel which was to be served with "warm German potato salad" for our dinners. After quite a wait we received our food and while the short rib meat on top of the mac n cheese was hot, the mac n cheese underneath was cold - like almost refrigerated cold. How does that get plated and not noticed? As far as the Schnitzel, it was a large portion and quite good however, what was served with it was by no means "warm German Potato salad". German Potato salad is traditionally prepared in a warm and almost "sweet and sour" vinegar based dressing with bacon and onion. What was passed off instead was a plate of home fries with what I'm guessing was a few pickled vegetables of some sort tossed on. I get the idea of artistic expression and making a dish "your own" but not at the expense of abandoning the core of a dish - particularly an ethnic staple. Our server politely took the cold mac and cheese back and we ordered another order of Pierogies to replace that (since it was known good). This time, they came out luke warm at best. As far as the fake German potato salad, in speaking with the manger on duty she didn't really seem to understand the issue and had no answer or any resolution. In the end, we were credited for the cold mac that was sent back (as would be expected), and given essentially $4 off our tab for the Schnitzel dish. Given the wait times, poor execution in the kitchen (delivering cold food and missing the mark big time on another), and the blasé' response of the manager, we won't be back. read more

Soo good! Their chicken Caesar salad is one of my favorite meals ever! Their Brussel sprouts appetizer is delicious as well! Everyone is always friendly and they have a good beer selection. They've done an awesome job adjusting to life post Covid too! read more

Great find! We happened to find this hidden gem as we were driving through on a Friday night. The moment we stepped into the place we were hooked. Everything about this place was top-notch. The decor was shabby chic/metro pub. Our waitress, Kate, was fantastic!! We actually asked if she was the owner! Let's not forget to mention the food... the quinoa plate was amazing!!! Unique blend of arugula, quinoa, and seasonal vegetables- we added salmon to one and chicken to the other and both were prepared to perfection. Serving sizes were plenty big for 2 adults to share. We topped it off with the a few Fat Tires - as they were $3 and you got to keep the glasses. Too bad we were just passing through- we would frequent this place often if we lived nearby. read more
