    Country line dancing classes on Tuesday
    antoinette f.

    A lot of fun packed in a Tuesday night! There's country line dancing in this 9000 square feet monstrosity. Casual atmosphere, reasonably priced food and drink. Surprised at the BLT tacos which were wonderful!

    I don't usually leave reviews, but this is a bar that really cares about their customers. I had a negative experience at a concert here due to someone else's actions. I ended up having to leave the crowd to get away from someone who was making the situation unsafe for me and some others. One of the bartenders, Phoebe, noticed me standing in the back, a little panicked. She listened and immediately started taking action. The owner had the person creating an unsafe environment removed and Phoebe checked in and made sure I was feeling safe and enjoying the rest of my night there. I am so happy with how the staff handled the situation, and will be back. This is a very safe venue, thanks to the wonderful staff and the immediate action they take for the well being on their customers. Thank you Phoebe!!!

    This place is awful. The food tastes like it was microwaved and the service sucks. 0/10 would not recommend.

    If you're looking for a night out with good entertainment and pleasant staff, I suggest the local. Thanks for a great evening last Tuesday.

    We came in for lunch on a weekday, soon after they began serving lunch for the day and they were…read moresteady with business. The guy at the register was very helpful with the menu and suggestions. They were quick to make our food and we enjoyed it there. They make smashburger style meat for their burgers and it was nicely seasoned. The texture was on the dry side though. The buns and toppings were great. There fries were also very nice, crunchy, and spiced well. This is mostly a carry-out joint, but they have a couple of tables inside to eat at. Overall, nice place for lunch.

    I'm still giving this a 5 even though it's more like a 4 star…read more First of all, I understand the lack of consistency, considering that two people can't work at the same place at the same time. But whoever is grilling the burgers at the other location is who is keeping me coming back. Other than that, other location is farther from me, it's worth a drive. What I really like about this place is the fresh meat and the disclaimer about the meats and how it's prepare. Well, I didn't like this time around is at the meat lacked seasoning, and the meat did not have that crispy edge or the juiciness in comparison to the other location. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this location unless I'm really thirsty for a good burger. If this is your first time at this location, then yes it's delicious. It's one of the best burgers in Cleveland. If you visit the other location first you're definitely gonna be disappointed when you go to this one.

    First time diners. We live in the area but have driven by…read morefor 20+ years... Visited the pub after hearing good reviews of their burger. Happily found bar seats at 6pm on Saturday. Service was pleasant but very slow. Really enjoyed my cocktails. Brussel sprout appetizer also delicious Burger 2/10. Ordered medium, arrived well done-- dare I say, burnt. Bun was so charred I pulled the dry patty off and doused in ketchup. What was most concerning to me was that in the 90 minutes we were seated I watched two glasses get broken behind the bar, over top of the ice bin. The ice bin was never emptied. This is basic protocol per health department and osha safety procedures. I sincerely hope that the management sees this and uses this opportunity to retrain staff on protocol--- as a public health practitioner who has spent many years in hospitality this is a huge red flag.

    My first time eating here. Went for a friends birthday dinner. Totally fancy, totally fine dining…read more I didn't feel good taking many photos during the elegant dinner but I took a couple. Super elegant, super charming. Food was fantastic. Wine was fantastic. I ordered a seafood chowder which was unreal and I had the rack of lamb. Super moist, super tasty. Came with Risotto and asparagus. If you are in need a very elegant dinner, highly recommend this place. Wardrobe is business attire. They do offer a downstairs "Tavern" which has the look of almost an old English /Irish pub. It's a lot more "chill" and offers different menu items. The price is what you would expect for fine dining. The service was quick and professional. Very intelligent, and respectful. A nice historical building/ house in a beautiful setting.

There is plenty of space at the bar, at high tops in the bar area and in different dining room areas. Service is always top notch as servers are uniformly attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We have tried and enjoyed many items I'm in the menu. The playtime we went, she ordered two sides of risotto for dinner: mushroom and spinach. Very tasty and well prepared, she was happy and had plenty of leftovers. I recently enjoyed their NY Strip, cooked perfectly to medium rare with sides of asparagus and mushroom risotto. Delicious! We're been there many times but have never tried dessert because the meals are so filling. Drink menu is very good with plenty of wines and beer plus a full bar. Call ahead if at dinner times as the place fills up especially on weekends.
