I went to The Feve on Saturday night and had a great experience. The burgers were some of the best I've had--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Good music, good customer service, and a relaxed atmosphere. It's a great place to grab a drink, have a burger, and just sit and talk. Definitely a spot I'll be going back to. read more

For MY 1000th Yelp review (haha).... I was in the area for something (a Yelp event maybe?), I needed dinner before driving back home, and I happened to walk by The Feve so I decided to stop in. I visited in June 2025 on a weekday evening, with fellow Yelper, Olga N. We were told that this restaurant in Oberlin has been open for 30 years which is amazing. It must be a staple in the community. FOOD - I ordered the Avocado Bacon Burger with a side salad ($15.50) and I think my friend ordered the same burger. The burger tasted delicious. The burger was juicy and it was a very thick-cut of meat. The avocado wasn't too fresh and it looked like a paste. The bacon was crispy. The small side salad was good and typical of a regular salad, consisting of mixed greens, shaved carrots, and cucumbers. Tomatoes would have been a nice addition. I forgot what dressing the salad came with. PARKING - Street parking only. SERVICE -- friendly and efficient. I asked for warm lemon water and it was brought right up. It wasn't a busy night especially since my friend and I arrived a bit later (around 7:45pm ish). FYI -- There are 2 sections of the establishment - Downstairs closes at 10pm - Upstairs closes at midnight but food ordering ends at 11pm The Feve is a popular restaurant amongst the Oberlin community, including students from nearby Oberlin college. While those living in Cleveland may not know about this restaurant, I'm glad that I ventured in. Stop on in and support this local business. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 159/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1000 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 12 July 2026 read more

Service seemed nice until a server asked if I wanted some more buffalo sauce with my wrap... we said sure because it seemed like a friendly offer. He brought out TWO sauces, one for the buffalo and one for the jerk chicken wrap. Not only did he only ask about one sauce, but he NEVER mentioned it would be for extra charge. Each small sauce cup was $1!!! We only saw at the end of our meal. Fine selection of food, crispy tater tots. Cute restaurant. read more

The Feve - Jerked Chicken - Bars Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

Great atmosphere. Good service and decent beer selection. Great wings and good prices.

The food was incredible! But the service was so slow it was unbearable. I think honestly our ticket might have just gotten lost; and I'll definitely give it another try. But there were two 2 top tables that arrived after us, got their food and paid, all before we ever got our food. We were just a 3 top ourselves, not a large party. Our waitress said once our food was almost done... but not so sure that's true. Regardless, the appetizers were great, and the burger I got was good! The tap list wasn't super long, but a lot of good local selections. read more

The Feve - Feve Burger - Bars Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

The food here is better than most pub style restaurants, which is why we ate here twice duing our stay in the area. But when it's crowded the serving staff are stretched pretty thin. The beer in this neck of Ohio is very hoppy and that's mostly what they had available, I don't care for hops so not my favorit place to have a brew. The ambiance is charmng with an upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs seems to have a different beer selection, which seemed odd. However, it's way more quiet upstairs. It that's an option, I'd pick the upstairs for sure. read more

This place had a strange vibe. We picked it randomly and it delivered on random. Art - strange and expensive. Food - cheap and good Service - random as hell During the meal, both bartender and server sat at the bar with friends and chatted and played on their phones. Are they the owners?! No clue. The fried sauerkraut was recommended - bad choice. Impossible to eat as they fall apart and just not a taste experience. However, the burger was delicious. I loved the $2 beers and my gf had a salad the size of a swimming pool. Food / price got ya 4 stars - I took one off for the servers being strange. And also the drunk woman at the bar who made sure we all heard her drunken stories. read more

Not sure what happened with this restaurant. We used to get brunch from The Feve regularly but stopped after a while. The food was always great and we never had a disappointing experience until today. We placed our order and my husband went to pick it up. He mentioned that they were rude on the phone and he was met with the same rudeness in person. The breakfast burger was barely cooked there was almost raw on the inside. They barely had it tounch the grill. The pancakes I ordered were supposed to be "filled with new york style cheese cake, graham crackers, sweet basil & fresh strawberries." We got a basil pancake topped with a spoon of cream cheese and a strawberry. When we called the only thing the server offered was to fill another order. We're not driving 20 minutes to experience the rudeness. read more

I loved the smoked salmon BLT! Best sandwich I've had in a long time. Friendly and attentive server too. Can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

Depends on how picky you are. There food is always hot but they use a lot of fresh seasonings on there food so make sure to ask. Good service can get crowded and loud quickly. Always have had food service can not complain about the service at all. And they support their community and the local college students. read more

I really respect and admire the Feve. I make a point to come to town a few times a month for it, especially for lunch or brunch. Brunch menu rotates and always has great surprises. The food is consistently good--way better than it needs to be considering the size of the town. And the few times I've come for dinner or evening drinks, it was a super fun vibe. Great place. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered carry lunch out for 12 people. I waited near the nice-looking bar that appeared to offer a good variety of craft beers and cocktails, as well as coffee drinks. My order was ready on-time and the staff/manager was very friendly and efficient. I also feel that the menu is very reasonably priced and offers a great variety. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the food, as I was delivering it to a meeting, but the feedback I received was all very positive. Everyone said their meals were excellent! I look forward to visiting the area again and trying it for myself! read more

Cute little place! Tiny room but good food. Got the mushroom and onion sandwich- nice filling, bread kind ick. Got the raspberry martini- way too tart- tasted like pure lime. Do not recommend. read more

Decided to do a fun little day trip to Oberlin with my boyfriend. The town has a lot of quaint little stores, as well as beautiful areas around campus. Several store owners recommended that we eat here, so that's what we did. We were able to be seated right away which was nice. We both got burgers with fries for dinner, and they were excellent. FYI, this isn't the kind of place where they ask you how you want your burger cooked. They've already decided the best way for it to be served, and that's how they serve it. The fries were especially yummy! But the real star, in my opinion, was the spring roll appetizer. Hot, crunchy, delicious, just absolutely perfect!! I'd come back just for this appetizer! I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

The burgers are "as advertised"! Delicious and juicy. They mix their own beef and brisket and the taste is fresh. Interesting atmosphere for a college town bar. And I mean in a good way! read more

Over my four years here, I've dined at your restaurant many many times with friends and always tipped fairly (15% for lunch, 20% for dinner). However, my recent experiences have been extremely disappointing due to poor communication and ridiculous server's behavior. On my last visit (Saturday), I called in an order for a cheeseburger with everything on top, but when I picked it up, I only received a plain cheeseburger. The price I was going to be charged was $15.67, which is for the full burger with toppings, it's not what I had ordered and the price isn't correct. When I tried to speak with staff at the counter to pay also fix the mistake, no one acknowledged me. Two staff told me to wait and then walked away without making any eye contact. After waiting a long time with no help, I just left without resolving the issue. I was there for so long and tried my best to pay but ironically nobody had responded. Today, I went to the restaurant and placed an order in person for takeout. When I pulled out my phone to pay using Apple Pay, the same waitress who took my order told me I was "good to go" and walked away before I could complete the payment. Based on her words, sure, I started to walk to the exit with everything like the last time, the server really didn't want to accept my payment??? However later, sarcastically I was confronted by another staff member who accused me of not paying twice and even suggested that I was trying to avoid payment because I am graduating soon and left. This assumption was ridiculous, unfair, and completely unreasonable. The problem clearly lies with your server's actions, attitudes and communication, not with me. I want to emphasize that I have always been a honest customer. I paid for both meals today, today and the last visit, I don't owe this restaurant anything, even though the server told me I didn't have to paid the last time because he couldn't find the receipt. I still paid including the payment of the last time and everything in the tip. He is very happy and said that I am good? Lmaoo. However I believe it is part of my responsibility to take care of my payment and I never tried to avoid or ditch the payment, who is gonna chanlleng the morality with 25 bucks total? Not me‍ your restaurant server just simply don't wanna take my payment. Brought a loss to the restaurant and trying to pass the buck on me? This whole experience is just so stupid sarcastic. If you are too busy, just hire more waitresses instead of ditching your job responsibilities. However it reflects a serious breakdown in communication and professionalism among your staff. It's not my fault at all and I believe that I do not deserve to be labeled or treated unreasonably. The manager should addresses these issues so other customers don't have to face similar problems, or whatever how this small town restaurant works... read more

How have I never reviewed this place ? I come here at least once a month. It is consistently awesome. The brunch menu rotates so it is different every month but always has a sweet pancake and usually a savory pancake. You can always get a "basic" breakfast, but they have much more! read more

Ok Sunday afternoon me alongside my family visited "The Feve"as our first stop in Ohio. It was a pleasant atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon, it was moderately busy and the service was quick. The young lady in the yellow blouse was very kind, quick and accommodating. Our server quickly came over with waters and gave us a little insight on the menu. The food was good but the potatoes came out cold not that it stopped my appetite because the presentation was still solid. The flavoring of my Lamb gravy and biscuits lacked some salt but that's something that can always be added. Overall good experience and quick service! read more

Great food. Good drinks. Good ambience. Great service. Love the windows opening to the street.....on good weather days!

We chose this restaurant because it was the only one open late the night we arrived, but we genuinely enjoyed the food, the beer list, and the atmosphere. read more

The Feve always delivers--delicious food with plenty for both carnivores and plant-eaters alike . But the real standout was Ashley. Attentive without hovering, funny without forcing it, and actually cheerful (a rarity these days--gone the way of blockbuster and the democrat party). She turned a casual working lunch into one of those "wow, I need to write a review" moments. Come hungry, leave full--and surprisingly optimistic about humanity. Thank you Ashley for restoring my faith in people while filling my belly with an amazing veggie burger lunch! read more

Best brunch around!!!! Staff is amazing and the owners are pretty cool, too. The brunch bloody Mary is fantastic!

What a lovely brunch we had! FYI: the dining room is upstairs and you have to climb a tall, steep staircase to get there. Situated in a quaint, downtown part of Oberlin, so we had a great view of the street from our window. It was a cute place, nice ambiance and lighting. I started with a delicious Bloody Mary. Classic brunch with perfect fluffy eggs, a salad, bacon, and potatoes. Mom loved her salad Niece got the challah French toast- this kid put everything on the side and really missed out. The berry compote and frosting were sooo good! She was happy to just enjoy the crispy French toast. With generous tip, we spent about $50, which I thought was a fair price for 3 brunches with the bLoody and a giant hot cocoa. Our server was awesome. Friendly and laid back- she really added to the overall chill vibe of the place. She was busy but never seemed harried or stressed. We're not in the area often, but would surely return for food if we were! read more

The Feve - Avocado bacon burger and tots...Yum! - Bars Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

Not going to lie, this place got me through my last year of college. Highly recomment getting the tater tots and a side of white cheddar cheese dip to go with an evening drink. This place is an incredible neighborhood bar and restaurant. It gets crazy in the evenings, but to me that's part of its college town bar vibe. If you like simpler drinks made well, this is the place for you. Must try drinks would definitely be the Paloma, the monthy specialty cocktail, and whatever cider is on tap. read more

Good food, cool vibe. Would recommend if you're in the area. Fries and tots were great. Fried pickles very tasty! It is a small place and I would expect it's crowded when school is in session. read more

Whoa, I had no idea when we first pulled up. This place is INCREDIBLE. I strongly recommend you stop here and order anything off the menu, honestly you can't go wrong. The vibe in here is comforting and inviting after being on the road for days on end. Jess welcomed us as soon as we walked in, a real gem in this town! read more

Nobody is going to mistake Oberlin Ohio with one of America's raging college towns (Happy Valley, Athens George, Iowa City. . . ), but The Feve does Yeomen's work (pun intended) to provide the locals and co-eds a great food and drink option. The joint impresses with its ability to blend quality downstairs dining with a joyous upstairs bar vibe. Grab dinner downstairs and enjoy some something from the incredibly diverse menu. How many quality restaurants (that aren't diners) offer Thai Peanut Chicken, a Cuban Sandwich, Ahi Tuna Salad, and Market Falafel??? But as good as the restaurant is, the real fun is upstairs. Head to the second deck and order yourself some wings and one of their quality burgers. My money is on The Fever, which spices things up with pickled jalapeño. Regardless, make sure you get some of the tater tots. The bar staff is friendly and they always have an assortment of tasty brews on tap. read more

Just visited here during COVID times and everything was awesome. The upstairs dining room was the only inside area for eating with the downstairs being closed for pick up only. Tables are well spaced apart and service was quick. Our group ordered a grouper appetizer which the kids loved and burgers for the adults. You can't go wrong with a burger here. Lots of choices and options on toppings. Plus fresh cut French fries and the ranch on the salad is amazing. Plus they are open everyday. Lots of restaurants in Oberlin are closed on Monday so it can be tricky when eating out. read more

The vibe as we walked in was warm, casual, inviting. The old brick interior is beautiful. The food we ordered, Buffalo Shishtawouk, Hot Ham & Swiss and a Cuban was all soooo good! And who knew they have the best crispy tater tots ever? The service was stellar, thank you Ashley! Even the music was amazing! Thank you again Ashley! Can't wait to come back!!!

The Feve - Warm & Inviting - Bars Near Me - Oberlin, Ohio

My husband and I were disappointed in our visit to The Feve. It had been recommended to us from someone who had completed their graduate work at Oberlin College. We were in Oberlin for the first time. While the Bloody Mary was huge and delicious, the service was extremely slow. We were a party of two and while two other tables were sat after us, they were able to place their orders while we waited for our server to return to us after initially ordering coffee (I do want to commend the coffee service - very attentive). The other two tables (different server) were served their meals, eat, and left before our check was even dropped (after ordering it took over 35 minutes to receive our food). read more
