Grabbed dinner here with my Mom and nephew. We shared some pretzels- yum, with beer cheese. I had a build your own pizza flatbread which was fantastic. Perfect size for a personal 'pizza.' Mom had a huge serving of spaghetti and meatballs. She said it was great and sent the leftovers home with my nephew. He enjoyed a burger and fries. Great service with a smile. I was visiting from out of town but Mom dines here periodically for lunch. Great food- sports bar atmosphere. read more

The food is not horrible, I recommend getting any of their pizzas. The prices for the alcohol is not terribly high, depending on the time of day service can be a little slower. When bands are playing I feel that there should be a way to escape the noise. Instead of having to go outside or leave. read more

This is my local watering hole. Good spot, and they have good specials. Wish the outdoor patio was bigger and then this place would be paradise. read more

It is a bar! But went there as a restaurant, and the food was good. And the service was great and attentive. Went with 22 people and no complaints, and that is pretty good. The ambiance was not there unless you like a bar scene. But after three times there, no rowdiness or foal language is a problem. read more

The best service and amazing experience. The basement never disappoints I love this place . Try any burnt cheese fold overs and get the wings double grilled and resauced. read more

Great pizza and double grilled wings. My favorite flavors are the hot pants kaluger and the hot garlic.

Loud and poor food and service. Ordered Nachos, chicken. They brought ground beef. Waitress brought napkins, no eating utensils or plates. Had to go them myself. Then added the 3% handling fee and wouldn't give back the receipt. Was there with friends for 5 hours. One drink, brought no refills or asked AT A BAR? Its the only dive around so I guess this is how this place stays in business. read more

I love this place but tonight I encountered a table of nasty people who have ruined my time there forever. They were so rude that I cannot recommend anyone going there on Wednesday nights. Because obviously they are very addicted to Singo. There were 8 of them playing and complaining about someone winning besides them. It's just remarkable that people act this way over music!! Otherwise the drinks are great and the food is awesome but don't go and win at Singo on Wednesday nights because they are predatory... even the waitress apologized to me for their behavior... Never going back again on Wednesday nights for this behavior. Someone should ban them for treating customers the way they did. read more

The Vito Corleone pizza and sandwiches are on point. They have a great selection of food here! You wouldn't expect it but there's plenty of choices. Great place for a night out, friendly bartenders and fast service. The bar has a nice charm to it. read more

I always enjoy this place. We actually had a family member's celebration of life here many years ago. The food is always hot and tasty, the beer or cider tastes great, and the service is always on point. read more

First time here. Arrived at 11:50 a.m. Sunday and sat at the bar. There was already a group of about 6 at the bar so we figured the service would be focused on them. It wasn't. Our bartender/server was making each of us feel like we were her only clients. She was clearly the only one there today and she handled it well. Placed our order: slider basket/fries and a pizza melt (no pizza dough looked like an omelet)/fries. My sliders were yum and my husbands "omelet" had tons of pepperoni -too much in fact. But the fries were spot on and the prices are very good. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Patience and Emily rocked it out!! the buckeye game was extra special with them!! Drinks came fast and food was delicious!!!

Not a bad place. Friendly service. Lots of parking. Bar type menu. Can't pass up Monday Gyros Definitely go back. read more

My husband picked up a pizza tonight. When I lifted up the cheese to take off some peppers, I noticed the dough wasn't cooked all the way. Very disappointing. read more

Nice place - great sports bar! Lots of large TVs showing different sports games. They also have a few different games available to play (darts, pool, keno, mini basket ball). It's a large place - we went on a Sunday evening during a terrible rain storm and it wasn't packed but there was a pretty steady flow of customers. The service was good - there seemed to be only one person working and she did a good job taking care of all of the tables. The food was good as well. We got a chicken quesadilla and the pretzel bites. The quesadilla was better than the pretzels - they were a bit hard for soft pretzels. But everything seemed fresh and it was definitely hot when it go to the table. read more

I would give a lower rating after service received by day bartender Sydney, however, love Jen & Jess. Stopped in there on a Saturday afternoon and buddy wanted to buy myself and boyfriend a drink. When asked what we wanted, I asked for a rag to wipe bar from prior guest. Sydney seemed annoyed and just wanted to know what we wanted to drink. I couldn't think that far wanting a clean space and asked again for rag. Not to mention, boyfriend wanted beer menu. She wiped a portion of the round table attached to bar and we wiped the rest. When seats opened at the main bar we relocated. Sat there quite a while waiting to order an appetizer while watching bartender do shots with other patrons. When she finally stopped by, asked lightly for rag previously used to clean new space. Don't understand why this is a constant request. Should be a given when picking up from prior guest to wipe down for next. Anyway, boyfriend asked for a couple glasses of water. Watched her grab styrofoam cups and fill in cooler sink. Felt pretty disgusted. Asked for water out of gun in a glass. She became very rude and said it is a convenience to the bartender while pouring that water in glass ignoring request for water out of gun. Stated no one has had an issue all day and proclaimed I had been complaining all day. Up until that point, I hardly spoke to her aside from ordering a drink and asking for a rag to wipe up dirty bar. Where was the complaining? Is that complaining to want to sit at a clean bar, which should be standard expectation? My boyfriend and I looked at each other astounded not knowing where this came from. I don't understand how myself being the paying guest is there for the convenience of the bartender and how it is inconvenient to provide water from the gun in a glass as opposed to a styrofoam cup filled from the cooler sink. Also, contrary to her belief, others were not ok with this either. We had a friend coming to meet us and were going to leave after being treated so poorly. Thankfully, it was shift change, so we stuck around to enjoy the rest of our night with one of our favorite bartenders! Otherwise, we would have have relocated elsewhere for better service. There are plenty of other places to go in the area to not be treated so rudely. read more

Please hire an additional waitress every time we go in for lunch the same gal is there she rushes/pressures us to make a drink selection and then our food choice I put down 70 plus for two people I can go somewhere else and get better service this has occurred at least the last few times we have patronized this location read more

I'm over the road so I don't live around here. My experience was sorta strange because I moved from the bar to a table to have a better view of the UFC fight. I asked to make sure the seat was taken and they said no so I sat down. The rest of the table space was filled with some younger people and I told one of them that I was watching the fight screen. One fight finished and before I was done with the meatball dish I ordered, someone changed the screen to a football game that was already playing on several other screens. I really feel like someone did that on purpose to run me off so I left. I might be back if I have to stop for the night but you might want to observe the remote control. read more

By far the best Basement around! The bartenders are wonderful and food is always delicious. The food is always fresh and hot and made with love. Also, The atmosphere is full of friendly and fun people!!!!! read more

Ordered through door dash and the chicken tenders and meatball sub were AWESOME! Seriously just wanted bar food to hit the spot and it did. Anyone who went to KSU and remembers the chicken tenders from Rosie's will be so excited! Also both orders were delivered hot and as if we were sitting at the bar. I recommend the hot bbq sauce for any version of chicken you get! read more

Twinsburg Location.. Horrible place! We ordered Buffalo dip appetizer, which wasn't bad, it was the only thing that wasn't bad. They did forget to bring us any napkins or silverware with it. Our main dishes took over an hour to come out. I ordered a chicken Philly that was refrigerator cold with cold rubber fries. Another at our table ordered a patty melt that was cold with rubber fries. My niece ordered a grilled cheese and they only brought her half a sandwich. The manager came over and was a bit rude. She basically called me a liar when I said my sandwich was cold. She said she felt the foil underneath it it and it was warm. Explained im not eating the foil and she should feel the sandwich. Terrible place, would never go hack. read more

I feel bad for the waitresses and customers. There was a band which was way to loud. Couldn't talk. The waitress got our order wrong because of course couldn't hear us. If the band would lower it a notch or two then everyone would be happy. I will never come back with a loud band playing. Just RIDICULOUS! Food was good. read more

I've been to this location only a couple of times and it was fine. Just for a couple of beers. The one in Twinsburg is the one I go to, or have been to, more often as I tend to meet up with some fiends and coworkers for some football games on Sundays. It's nice, but the service is a little slow. The people who run it, as in the owners, are very nice and accommodating, but I feel that they may be trying to maintain costs with erring on the side of a staff person or two LESS. I've been here for happy hour twice, both times in the summer and I really have to say, for DRAFT beer, you can charge less than five dollars for Labatt. Just MY opinion but the neighborhood bar I go to usually in Lyndhurst I get a twenty four ounce draft of it for three fifty. For what it is, and based on the fact that a guy or two will have three at least, it's a bit expensive, but then again, what isn't these days. Nice neighborhood place and nice people. read more

Crystal the bartender was amazing! I ordered a Long Island and when I tasted it I forgot to tell her I do not like tequila. She made a new drink for me and it was amazing. First time here & very happy! Will be back read more

We were on a Northfield bar crawl and stopped by the basement. I got a little nervous when I saw the yelp rating was 2.5 stars mostly for service , but saw that I should try the burnt cheese fold over. We were pleasantly greeted and had a great server. We got $5 pitchers and the classic burnt cheese which is like an omelet but made with cheese instead of egg. We had a great time, tried something new and didn't break the bank. read more

We went to the Twinsburg location, trying to give its a second chance. Ordered the gyro, it was lettuce heavy, gyro meat seemed chipped from frozen, very little flavor and barely a trace of tzatziki sauce. The Italiano fold over was alright if you like heavy banana peppers to where you can't taste the meat. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. We went and waited an hour and 15 minutes. We never got our food. The waitress never even asked if my husband wanted another drink. She barely kept our water filled and told us sorry once because the kitchen was backed up due to a party yet people around us got food. We paid for the glass of wine and left. Absolutely not acceptable. read more

We had Dee as our waitress tonight. It was her first night at the Basement tonight and she was honestly the sweetest, best waitress we have ever had. The food was great, but the waitress was the show. We would call ahead to see if she was working. The best experience!!! read more

Terrible service. I'm still waiting. And waiting And waiting.., as long as your not hungry and not thirsty it's an ok place to go

This is a cool little joint with some great specials. If you're looking for nothing fancy and your typical bar grub, check this place out. By no means is this somewhere to go out of your way for but if you're near by and want a decent bite and a cheap beer, check this place out. On Monday nights they have half price pizza and gyro's and $2 22oz domestics. For $11 and change I had a meat lovers pie and two beers. They also have a pool table and a TON of tv's for the games. read more

Music is a little awful for me. I don't care at all for it. I know it is a bar but pretty bad. Considering the place is pretty empty it took a while for our appetizers (wings and pretzel bites) to come out because they brought all of my food out together. I had the ham and cheese with fried...also ordered sliders with chips...all the food was hot when it came out. The quality was good...nothing special. But service and food wait time was slow considering only half of the bar had people around it. read more

Your server Brandon V should really focus more on customer service. We were not given any plates, napkins, or silverware with our appetizer platter. He did not check on us once to ask if we needed anything or how the food was. We wanted to order a pizza to go and a couple more drinks but he didn't approach us for 20 min.. we had to flag him down to just give us the check at that point. He was quick to cash us out though. He could have had a bigger check with a bigger tip had he have been more attentive. read more

Sydney the bartender was not friendly. The restaurant was not busy when I picked up my take out order. In my order of large tater tots there was not one that was edible. They were fried so long not one had any potatoe inside of it. Each tator tot crumbled into to pile of fried dust. It's virtually impossible to mess up bar food, so that's disappointing. Waste of $25 + tip. read more

Wife got carded for beer left purse there last night and it magically disappeared don't trust them at all

We waited 75 minutes for carryout (after being told 35). At 35 minutes we were told "a few more minutes." Sandwiches were decent, but there was a piece of plastic (wire?) in mine. We would have picked somewhere else if they'd been up front. Not the way to run a restaurant. We won't go back. read more

Horrible bar maids.....horrible service.....horrible food.....padded our bill.....WILL NOT RETURN!!!!!!

A frozen pizza from walmart would have tasted better than the overpriced thin, ketchup topped pizza we ordered. Ordered the Meat-itarian with additional toppings onions, green peppers & black olives. I guess they figured why put all of the toppings listed on their menu if the customer ordered additional toppings. The pizza was supposed to have pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage & shaved beef, plus 3 additional toppings. There were a few sparse pieces of pepperoni & sausage, no ham, no shaved beef, about 4 tiny pieces of green peppers, a few onions and maybe 20 slivers of black olives. The sparse toppings, lack of toppings paid for & the soggy, undercooked dough was disgusting, it was complete waste of money. The center dough of the pizza was so thin & soggy it was gooey in the box. Digonio in the freezer section has more flavor & toppings. Do yourself a favor & go elsewhere! read more

Avoid at all costs. Actually sat at a table with 2 other guys and sat for 20 minutes. Zero service and the waitress looked at us and ignored us 3 times. I even mentioned we would like menus and some beers. Nothing! This isn't the first time but i can assure then we're done with this sh hole. We left and went somewhere else and had a good time. The Basement in Cuyahoga Falls is the complete opposite. Great service! read more

We ordered wings, a rueben that came with fries and an order of tater tots. $40 in food. Door Dash delivered, we had 1 wing and 1 bite of the Rueben. THEY WERE TERRIBLE. The wing was so salty, we got medium wings I am not sure how that can be messed up, but they were awful. As for the Reuben, one bite was all that could be had. The corned beef was dark like old corned beef that may have been frozen and thawed in the microwave. GROSS! So for our dinner we had the fries and tater tots, that were not that bad. But a waste of 40 bucks. Never again. read more
