The Feve is a nice place for casual dining or just for drinks. I had the fish and chips. The cod was excellent! Service was very good. read more

Amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. I would recommend a stop here anytime you're in the Oberlin area.

Stopped here for lunch on a college visit with our son. First, the service was excellent. Personable, positive, and relaxed. Second, the food was creative and the basics were well done. I had the samosas and habanero wontons. Both with crisp, fresh dough. Our son got their famous tater tots. Nothing fancy, but exactly what a tater tot should be. Crispy, hot, delicious. Recommend! read more

If you have one Oberlin experience, make sure it's The Feve! This beloved institution serves pub food and awesome cocktails at a surprisingly affordable price. The atmosphere is warm with exposed brick walls and a gorgeous copper bar and it's ALWAYS full of Oberlin folks. It was THE place for tots before tots were a thing, and the staff is fantastic. If it's a warm spring or summer evening, the huge street-facing windows will be open and the people-watching is SUPERLATIVE. read more

The Feve was one of my go to spots when I worked in Oberlin. I've never had bad service or food here. I met up with some friends to catch up. The service was wonderful. I love their burgers and tots. The hybrid on the cocktail menu is delicious, too. Can't wait to come back here sometime soon. read more

So good. The Feve is the best restaurant in Oberlin. This has been there awhile, it's always listed as one of the favorites of students and locals, and after eating there it's easy to see why. It's upscale but not ridiculously expensive. They have good handcrafted drinks and plenty of vegan friendly items. Finding a good sit down restaurant in a college town can be hard because there's so many crappy ass chains. It looks like a pretty upscale place at least compared to other places in town. The interior is nice and brick walls. It has a nice bar. This is a relaxing place to get a craft beer or one of their handcrafted cocktails. As for drinks one of my favorites is the 100 Monkeys and a Typewriter. This is about $5 for a good size glass. I got it the first time just because I really liked the name. This is made with Bacardi Silver, Cazadores Blanco, and cranberry and orange juice. I turned out liking the taste too. The food menu has lots of vegan choices. It has all kinds of burgers with or without meat. Erica's Vegan Burger is $9 and comes with a choice of a side. It's topped with avocado and red onions. This is one of the best vegan burgers I have ever had, and it's not that expensive for the size of this. The Feve is good for lunch. It's also good for later. This is good pretty much any time. read more

A great place in a college town. Food was amazing. Had the cheddar and sweet corn pancakes, very good, even better with maple syrup. The bacon was top notched. People were very nice and the food came quickly. It was a little loud in the upstairs bar area where we ate, but not enough to drive us away. Had the blood Mary and it was huge and very tasty, could have used some horseradish, but very good. I would recommend you come here if in town. read more

We really enjoyed The Feve. The food and service was amazing! The Rangoons are a must try appetizer and the burgers are delicious as well. I did see the Cuban sandwich making its way to a table and I will definitely have to try that next time. I didn't care for the Satan like decor and I'm not even a religious person. It's just weird and not very inviting especially since we took our daughter there not knowing this. The bathroom is also down some stairs so just a fair warning should anybody need to know that before visiting. The bathrooms are also sort of weird because of the design. You can tell they were forced into the basement and built around preexisting structures to make it work. This place is also very small so timing is critical as to whether you will get a table or seat at the bar. read more

This place is LEGIT. I have family in the area, so we stopped by for a late lunch on a Monday. It's a cute bar/restaurant in downtown Oberlin, and it looks like they have lots of specials on certain days of the week, plus a brunch menu. It was so hard to choose what to order; there were so many tasty looking sandwiches! I ended up with the ahi tuna sandwich, and a massive side of tator tots. The ginger/soy topping and veggies on the sandwich made for a lighter and more exciting option than your typical burger. Their portions here are very generous, and from what I can tell, every sandwich has killer bread! As a huge fan of dips, I love that you can order a side of any kind of dip (there are like 10+ to choose from) for your tots or fries, AND you can even add a flavor dust to the tots! Their chicken is locally sourced, and there are a ton of veggie or vegan options. They had a decent draft list, as well as a full bar of cocktails and wine. Looks like they have 3 for $5 taco special on Tuesdays! I would love to come back again and check out the upstairs seating area as well. If I lived in the area I would dine here frequently! read more

Wowzie, this place gets it, this has been on my radar for quite sometime. I was coming back from Put In Bay, and purposely starved my self knowing that Oberlin and I were going to have 20 year reunion. I was looking forward to spending the day walking the campus, breathing in the crunchy goodness, and stuffing my pie hole with something from the Feve. Man this place was busy. After quite some time seats were had. I asked about the Machaca, pork to be precise. The server pretty much said it was glorious. Then she asked "what do you want to know about it". My retort - Nothing more needs explaining. Pork Machaca is where it was at and it would only cost me a few green backs. I asked if they had anything spicy and they claimed they had a level 10 sauce. I asked is it real spicy or white people spicy. She advised it was very spicy. Had it with scrambled eggs and salad. Wow was it awesome. Plate of schredded pork flaroved with a hint of poblano and their hot but flavorful level 10 sauce that had scorpion and habenero peppers. Omg, I also tasted the Caribbean pork sammie and a couple perfectly fried tater tots. The service was excellent, everyone was super friendly it is evident that people enjoy working here . Well done, I say. This place was awesome. I understand why this establishment is always packed. Oberlin is my kind of town. Next time I go to Put In Bay, I think I will most likely detour and spend the night In Oberlin, much more my style. read more

Stopped here while driving through to Niagara. So glad we did! Cute little neighborhood. Friendly service. Comfort food. Service was friendly. The bar area was packed. And it's a pretty small place. Other than that, I enjoyed my crab cake sandwich and tots. The sandwich was a little spicy (I hope it wasn't to mask fishy crab), but it tasted great. The others I was with enjoyed their dishes as well. Note, there's only 1 restroom (single person room) near the bar/eating area. There's another downstairs. Both were occupied so we left and used Subway's restroom instead. read more

Met my elderly mother, son and his fiancé at The Feve. To start, we were served PINK water. It must have been disinfectant left in the pitcher; quite a dangerous oversight. Then, in this loud (exposed brick walks) and crowded environment we waited 55 minutes for our food (three sandwiches and a salad). When I talked to the manager and told him about the wait he said they were busy, had a small kitchen and only two cooks. When I pointed out that the next table, who had arrived 30 minutes after us, had their food he told me to "grow up" , "you're an adult", "I don't need a lecture" and finally "looks like we are plenty busy, must be you!" Wow! Just Wow! read more

This is a delicious brunch/burger/bar establishment! I cannot say enough good things about this establishment! When we walked in my eyes were immediately drawn to some enormous bloody Mary's sitting on the bar. I didn't order one, but everyone should know they have them and they look amazing! They also have a full bar with craft beer, wine, and unique mixed drinks. When it came time to order, I couldn't decide between the raspberry challa French toast or the Mac n cheese omelet. The waitress informed me that the menu changes weekly and I should order the omelet with a side of the French toast, so I did just that. It was so good! Their Yukon potatoes were amazing as well! Clearly they have talent in the kitchen here and the service was excellent too. My husband and I are already planning when to come back and who to bring with us! read more

Good food, nice environment. Our waitress was polite and efficient. A lot of parking in the back.

Visiting family at the college and looking for dinner. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The menu was extensive and the food was good. Prices fair. Atmosphere, inclusive and warm. Overall very happy! Do note that the restroom is in the basemen down a flight of stairs. If someone in your party has a problem with stairs this might be an issue. However, there might be a staff restroom on the main floor, we didn't ask. read more

Upon visiting Oberlin one Sunday afternoon, I was told this is one of the best restaurants around town. Hearing this , I ended up here for brunch. We arrived at just the right time, because without a reservation, things got pretty crowded.( sign of a good restaurant). The brunch menu consisted of a good variety of options ranging from of course breakfast to lunch type meals. During this visit I order the fresh squeezed orange juice, tomato soup, & sourdough spinach grill cheese. Food took about 15 mins or so to arrive and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The tomato soup had just the right amount of consistency and thickness. Fresh tomatoes, garlic and slight sweetness made for a fantastic soup combination. Next the grilled cheese with the sourdough bread proved to be a great combination. It had a nice crispy bite and the cheddar cheese and slightly wilted spinach worked well. Although some spinach pieces were more wilted/cooked than others overall it was a good sandwich. I'd visit this place again for brunch or otherwise . read more

I really like the Feve. It's a cozy gastropub located in the heart of Oberlin with a varied and tempting menu of salads, sandwiches and burgers. I've never seen it not busy and we were lucky to get a table at my most recent visit for Saturday brunch. The brunch menu varies weekly and I opted for a grown up version of that classic comfort pairing of grilled cheese and soup. The sandwich featured gorgeous, crusty bread with a smear of fig jam and gooey cheese (goat, if I remember correctly). It was perfect for dipping in the bowl of creamy pumpkin soup that came with the order. There was also a tasty little mixed green salad on side. The Feve always has a good selection of bears, and paired with a nice stout, this was an ideal winter lunch. read more

If you're thinking about trying this place out for brunch, please do! I come here every chance that I can because it's never failed me. What makes this place unique is that the restaurant changes up the menu every week. I love that every time I'm there I have something different. My absolute favorites have been the huevos rancheros and any French toast (you can't go wrong with the French toast no matter what the toppings are). Another must try is the brunch Bloody Mary. If you enjoy bloody Mary's in the morning this is the place to go. Service has always been consistently good and another favorite thing of mine the feve does is display local artwork. I love seeing the support they give the community. I love this place and will continue to return every time I'm in town. read more

We were visiting Oberlin for an art show and The Feve was recommended as"the place to go" for a good meal. It's a very lively place, but the room is dark and the noise level is high, so if anyone in your group has trouble seeing in dim light or hearing, request a table by the front window which is brighter and quieter. Our server was great. Our food came out in a timely manner, piping hot. The portions are large, so come hungry. They have sauerkraut balls on the appetizer menu which we love and don't often see. We also tried the fried pickles and crab cakes. Both were really good. I had a turkey Reuben which was so big I had to cut it in four pieces to eat it without wearing it. The guys had burgers with a big stack of tater tots as a side. All in all, if you are looking for a casual place to get a great sandwich in Oberlin, The Feve is the place to go. read more

Unique dining spot, perfect for a college town. We went on a Thursday afternoon in the summer for a late lunch. We ordered an assortment of apps and drinks; they did not disappoint. The fried avocado fingers were delicious, and the sauerkraut balls had my dining companion raving. The large order of tater tots is more than plenty for two people. We tried the garlic rub and fried garlic on top. Interesting beer list. We dined downstairs, and were told there is a more extensive list of drinks for the upstairs bar. And no matter, we were both happy with the Ace blood orange cider. Service was quick and efficient at first, but then disappeared for the second half our meal. We had to flag down staff to request a takeout box and our check. Definitely will stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

Great for a college town. I seen several employees bringing guests for lunch. Very busy and excellent beer and food selection. A little close quarters but they keep it good for covid.

I was in Oberlin for a date one Friday night and we decided to check out The Feve for dinner. 100% this is a perfect example of a trendy little college restaurant/bar. Staff was hip with their tattoos and flannel, pretty sure there were white Christmas lights for ambiance, the food was creative with peanut butter on the burgers, and prices were hella nice! Seemed like a pretty popular place as it was so busy my date had to fend off the bar stool he was saving for me from eager patrons ready to dine. My date got some chicken salad on pita with side of hummus dish and I went for the PB bacon burger with a side of tots (cause to hell with salad! I'm a woman who likes my arteries to be clogged!) We both enjoyed what we ate and our server was helpful and friendly. I think our bill came to just over $20 which is very good when you're used to Cleveland prices. If you ever catch yourself in Oberlin, I would recommend giving this place a try! read more

I did a spontaneous trip to Cleveland with a motorcycle club! We landed here for brunch after a long night of partying. The series and food was absolutely amazing! It reminds me of a nice spot you could easily find in Corktown or Depot town. I had grapefruit mimosas ( trust me you need to try) with a fresh crab omelette and bacon! I can tell a lot by a place by the way they cook their bacon. To say the least my friends and I all enjoyed our meals and will return if I ever find myself randomly in Ohio again! Side note: I was so hungry and the food was so good I forgot pictures, but trust me they are heavy on the champagne and light on the juice and the good combos are delicious and unique! Just go! read more
