Amazing local place with great food and great people who always remember you! Amazing wings and now have a gorgeous outdoor seating area

I love the old school bar and grill feel at Whiteys and the "good times" burger is my go to with an ice cold beer and the chili is so good I can eat it no matter what the temperature is outside. What I don't love or understand is how in 2018 can a place not accept credit cards. I know there are costs associated with doing business with cards but that has to be more than offset but the pint of beer I just bought for $5.25. The not accepting credit cards is easily my biggest pet peeve as a consumer and I still go here and still gave them 4 stars so that should give you an idea how much I enjoy this place. read more

Whitey's quality has really gone downhill. Their burgers used to at least look like people were hand-making them. And the beef taste was outstanding. Now they're just pre-formed patties. Blech!!! Been taking the family and friends here since 1994, but now we're done going there. Onion rings are not the sizes they used to have, but the french fries are still good. Wait staff is outstanding, but they can't make up for the apparent cheapness and increased profits that mgmt has chosen to skimp on. And of all the products to skimp on, their signature food, burgers! What a shame. read more

Went to Whitey's this evening and had a wonderful experience. My daughter enjoyed the friendly servers and we enjoyed the fresh beer. The burgers are to die for and the lobsters in the claw tank are the happiest that I have ever seen. read more

My parents have been bringing me here my whole life, even after the demise of the Coliseum. This place is so delicious and awesome. It just feels like the 1980's inside, but maybe that's just me hanging onto my childhood. You can't go wrong with a Maggie burger and Coliseum fries. My friend had the burger with the macaroni and cheese and have me a bite. Also incredible, but the Maggie is my staple. read more

Whitey's - The famous Maggie Burger cooked to perfection - Burgers Near Me - Richfield, Ohio

You know something is wrong with a place when, on the drive home, you find yourself thinking "That was a pretty tasty burger. Too bad I'll never be back." The pros: - I ordered the Black and Bleu burger and it was good. The cons: - The service was lousy. The server acted like we were such an annoyance to her --- Took forever to take our order; didn't apologize when the food was obnoxiously late; never refilled glasses; gave us another big wait to get our check; didn't smile once or ask us how we were doing or anything. And I could have ordered sides, I guess, but she never asked and I didn't know my options. - The place is pretty ugly, and I didn't like that you have to walk through the bar in order to get to the tables. But I wouldn't have cared in the least if the service had been welcoming. SERVERS OF AMERICA! HEAR MY WORDS! There is nothing wrong with being welcoming! You don't have to do a song and dance or lay it on thick and fake. Just look people in the eye and great them. Smile once or twice. It's not that tough. There are lots of choices on where to eat, so make people comfortable to be in your establishment. . . . . ....Gosh darn it! That Black and Bleu burger really was yummy. Now I've got it on my mind again. Maybe I actually will be back. For takeout-only, this time. read more

I met up with a friend here for some drinks. It was a great atmosphere, family friendly. Cool little bar. An arcade room, with a South Park pinball machine (which adds a star to any place in my book). It looked mostly like a place that locals from Richfield and Bath hang out, which is cool. Nobody made us feel like we didn't belong or anything. I had a burger. It wasn't that good. I asked for it medium, it came out medium rare. The meat was bland. The bun was cold. Pretty bad burger. I also had some jalapeño poppers, which were pretty good. Overall, it's a nice little bar in the middle of nowhere. I'd go there again for drinks, but I won't be getting another burger there. read more

The only thing decent is the Spicy Chili. I had the chili flight and the other 3 were so bland they were barely edible on their own. Had to salt everything like crazy. It's like they don't believe in seasoning their food. I got the BOMB burger and was really looking forward to it. Again horrible. It was a gas station quality frozen burger patty that was completely unseasoned with Banquet TV dinner quality bland Mac and Cheese on top. It wasn't even appealing in the slightest after the first bite and that was even after pouring salt and pepper on top. The chef, cooks, management, and ownership should be ashamed of the lackluster food they are serving at such an iconic local landmark. Two thumbs down. Get it together in the kitchen and make quality food. Gross!! read more

Went here for the first time. It seems nice and like we may have just had a bad experience. But the bar staff was extremely rude to us for not knowing it was a cash only establishment even after I ran to my car to get cash to pay for the drinks she seemed to have been burdened by making. Maybe we'll try it again later, but the bar staff didn't leave a great first impression. read more

It had been years since I visited but Whitey's has stood the test of time. Great burgers, good apps....as always, great chili and french fries. The core of the business is still a great bar environment but it does not discriminate at all against families, couples, groups, etc. Very comfortable with good service. I'd still like to see more windows in the dining area but overall, a great local pick! read more

Had always heard great reviews from friends about Whitey's burgers so we were excited to try it out Friday night. When we asked for a table for our party of 6, we were told our entire party needed to be there to be seated. No problem, as they were 2 minutes behind us. We sat at the bar and waited so long that we began to worry about our friends, eventually texts were exchanged. No need to worry, for the past 15 minutes, they'd been seated at a table for six (without all of our party being present). Once we found our group, the waitress was in a big hurry to get our food order in. I ordered one of the burgers. When the waitress arrived with the burger, she asked if I had ordered it "well done". Nope, not me, ever. But she assured me the burger was mine anyways. Needless to say, when I cut into it, it was gray and dry inside. I waited for the waitress to return so I could let her know, but she didn't return to check on anything until everyone in the party had finished eating, approximately 30 minutes later. 75% of the burger was left on the plate, but she never asked about it. It didn't go to waste though, it went home to feed my friend's dogs. read more

The black and bleu burger was fantastic, the beef chili was so good, fries and the onion rings were hot and good!! .49 cent shrimp cocktails were a great bonus!!! If we lived around here this place would be our "To go place" If you are looking for a great meal go here!!! read more

We came here after the Towpath Marathon in Cuyahoga Valley National Park because I have a tradition of eating a burger after every marathon that I run. It gets me through the last few miles knowing that a delicious burger is in my future. Because I was far from home, I had to rely on my local friends to figure out the best spot for this coveted post-race burger, and they did not lead me astray. I went with my standard burger order (LTO, extra pickles) and a side of the jalapeno caps with a pumpkin beer (I can't remember the brewery). The meal absolutely hit the spot, and I was impressed with the draft selection. Yes, this place is a dive, but that's part of what makes it awesome. There is a lobster tank by the front door where you pay a couple quarters to use one of those mechanical hooks to try to grab a lobster. When we walked in, a little girl had just snagged one (I wish I had seen it!) and was peaking in through the trap door while her mom ran to get something to put the little guy in. I can honestly say, I have never seen that at a restaurant before. The Browns-Steelers game was on while we were there, so the bar was packed and the crowd was lively. I think I saw a bartender handing out free hot dogs! We were waiting for our table, and it took all of my will power not to bowl over someone on a bar stool to get to them (I was really hungry!). Despite the crowd, the service was prompt and friendly. If I'm ever in the neighborhood again, and in need of a burger, I will be back at Whiteys. read more

Was there June 2nd. Food and Service was Fantastic as always. Sat on the new patio too. They did an amazing job with it!

Typical bar fair. It's good. Cash only. I wonder if IRS has ever looked into that kind of deal.

if i was reviewing Whitey's on the food alone, i'd give it 5 stars. The hamburgers I had was really good. I also had the chili flight appetizer. i have to tell you, the chili at Whitey's is incredible - the jalepeno beef being my favorite. the only complaint i had, and i should have spoken up when seated, was that the dining area we were seated in was really cramped and uncomfortable. i guess i could also complain about the "cash only" policy, but i knew that going in and was prepared w/ cash. read more

Heard great things so we thought we would give it a try. Great atmosphere and great food. Our server could use some customer service training. read more

Whitey's is great. Friendly people and relaxed atmosphere. The burgers are amazing, and everything is served in huge portions. I wanted to be adventurous, so I tried the BOMB sandwich with chicken. (Thick piece of chicken, lots of bacon, topped with Mac n cheese on a pretzel bun) I should have just went with the burger, because there wasn't too much flavor with the chicken and all of the other ingredients. Boyfriend had the Maggie and that looked amazing. We tried the Wings once, and those aren't too great. read more

They have very good burgers, although my burger came over cooked it was still very tasty and the fries were delicious also.

Yum! Great chili (the original beef) and a gigantic chili dog. The service was quick and efficient. Would come back for sure! read more

Living in Wadsworth, I had never heard of the restaurant. My wife and I went a couple weeks ago. Place was crowded and doing a great business! We had a couple beers and then we finally got a table. Amazing burger selection! Lots of good stuff. We ordered a couple different burgers and shared them. They were very good! Service was also very good! If you are in the area give it a try. CASH ONLY! read more

Okay, Whitey's is basically too good to be true. I can go on for about 50 pages for why I love this bar, so let's limit it to some quick points. 1. Best chili in the world. Hands down. But get it czar style, with onions, sour cream, and lots of cheese on top. 2. Amazing burgers. They rule. 3. Wii Bowling. Yes, it's there. They have leagues. 4. A lobster claw machine. $2 in, one live lobster out, tastiness ensues. 5. Cheap drinks. Yes, they are very reasonable here. 6. Free pretzel sticks at the bar. For your snacking convenience. 7. Free pizza during happy hour on certain days during the week. Two days during the week, Whiteys says thank you to their bar patrons and brings out a full 24 slice pizza. They bring it around to everyone at the bar and offer you a piece, for free. And they do this throughout the night. I love Whiteys. It's such an amazing place. read more

Whitey's is like a dear old family friend for many, many people. Personally, I've been going since the age of six, or so. About thirty years. Yikes. Back then, the Skyline Drive-In was open across the street. The Richfield Coliseum was nearing its prime. And candy bars cost a quarter. Perhaps the most scientific measure of Whitey's success is that, since Ye Olden Days, the place has probably tripled in physical size, and they just keep packing them in. The Coliseum has been closed for fifteen years and demolished for ten. The Drive-In an ethereal memory. Richfield is a sleepy little town again. But Whitey's is still alive and kicking. For one simple reason. Because it's awesome. The burgers are big and delicious. (I've learned, over time, to order them at least "medium," or they can get a little soggy -- but I'm a slow eater.) The fries and onion rings and chili are tremendous. They have malt vinegar on the table if you like your fries "Cedar Point" style. One order is enough for a small army. They have HUGE ice cold beers. Maybe the biggest compliment I can make about the food at Whitey's is that it's totally CONSISTENT. The quality, and even presentation, of the burgers and fries and rings and such is the same as it was twenty years ago. You don't mess with success! Go check it out. You won't be disappointed. And I'll bet you return. read more

Burgers and Booze. I guess that sums it up nicely. You might add sand volleyball and darts to the list. Whitey's has been a Richfield favorite for some time now and even on a random Wednesday evening the place is alive with people. The dining room is cozy (read tight) and atmospheric (read dim) and lends itself nicely to a friendly dining environment. The beer selection is moderate if not solid with staples and the burgers are generous. So are the servings of fries and rings. A serving of fries or rings is enough to share. I have had the Czar which overflows with mushrooms. You'll absolutely have piles of mushrooms left after the burger is gone. I have also had the fish sandwhich which is two battered filets of white fish. The filets taste like they were frozen and not fresh, but I could be wrong. Overall, a good place for a huge burger, a cold drink, and hanging out. Solid but short of spectacular. read more

Love this place for the food. The waitresses leave something to be desired. We were there in August and again tonight. Each time our waitress was just not very sincere or overly pleasant and we got that vibe immediately both times. Probably be a while before we go back. The food is good and I know that's the important thing but still when you have a waitress that doesn't make you feel welcome, your whole experience just seems to be ruined. read more

First time visit on Father's day. The host was great. He had a wonderful personality and was very friendly. The wait was long and it's cash only but they have easy access to an ATM so that's no big deal. The chili was really good and the prices were decent. My biggest complaint is the burger. No flavor at all. It was absolutely terrible. It looked like a boiled frozen patty. It was really awful and bland. Fast food burgers are better than what I had. My son ordered plain chicken wings and I wish I had done the same because I tried one and it was delicious! If I ever go back I'll stay away from the burgers. They have paper straws for their drinks which is probably better for the environment but also really gross feeling to use. Otherwise the place is dark and dingy but kinda of charming. read more

I looked so forward to visiting this establishment having not been here for approximately 20 years. Very disappointed overpriced for bar food, service was horrible. Frozen blan burgers with no side. read more

Been going to Whitey's for years, all of the staff are very friendly. The wait can be long, but it's worth it considering there's only five kitchen crew members in the back serving delicious burgers, fries, onion rings, and not to mention their famous chili! read more

Love the atmosphere, always try to make it here when in town. The jalepeno bites are the best thing on the menu, second to the juicy burgers! Can't wait to make it back! read more

This is our favorite local spot! The burgers are amazing (especially the hot n sticky - served only as their burger of the month in July) the drinks are always poured heavy and it's all cash. Willy is the best bartender ever and ya just can't beat the crowd of regulars. Game days are always a blast and there's always free apps at the bar. I love Whiteys! read more

This place was hyped up to me by so many people. I was super excited to try it. The chili and fries were amazing but unfortunately that was the only good thing. The burgers, which I was most excited about, turned out to be a frozen patties. On top of that, it's only cooked one way...well done. Definitely disappointed. Was hoping for so much more. Don't think I'll be back read more

We love the Maggie burger and the nachos! Anyone who tells us that they have a good burger place we asked them if they have been to Whiteys bc there is nothing better! read more

For the life of me, I don't know why this place has a following. I guess they do have volleyball courts in the back, so maybe after you work up a sweat you'll eat just about anything. I could understand if just the locals come here, because there's not another restaurant for miles around. And I think Whitey's takes advantage of that fact- there's no competition, so things like customer service and providing quality food don't factor in the equation. Here's my problems with this place: 1) As often mentioned, they don't accept credit cards- a basic courtesy to your patrons for 99.9% of other restaurants in this country. That ATM out in front? I've never had to use it, but its one of those generic ones, so after you're done with it you'll like be paying service fees in excess of $6 between that and your bank. Who knows, maybe they're collecting fees from the ATM vendor for putting the dang thing there. 2) Pay at the bar. Again, another courtesy to your patrons they choose to ignore. Why? Probably because its more convenient for their staff to have you fight for the attention of the bartender, and they don't have to worry about the waitresses dealing with cashing out checks. 3) NO FOUNTAIN DRINKS! Want a Coke? Sure, and they charge by the can! Why bother with free refills of fountain drinks like every other restaurant has, when you can just charge your patrons per can! Make more money, and the waitresses don't have to worry about getting you refills! 4) Want to wash your hands before eating? Well, you better like those air hand dryers, cause paper towels are such a mess, and they probably cost more too. So much easier to close the restaurant when you don't have to take out the trash in the bathrooms. 5) Beer specials? Not here. The cheapest "oil can" of beer was around $6.50 (Miller Lite), and it wasn't even as much as you'd get in a pitcher elsewhere. 6) The cost of the food.... now if you go to their website: http://www.whiteyschili.com/rest.htm, they list a menu, but notice there's no prices on the main menu items. That's probably because they're too emberessed to list what they're charging! The cheapest burger, is around $6, and it just comes with cheese. For most places, things like lettuce and tomato are afterthoughts. At Whitey's, you'll pay them them under the 'sandwhich options'- and those things cost bucks! And I'm not talking like just 50 cents. 7) The food itself. Now, if the food itself was out of this world, many of the things listed above could be forgiven. But its really not that great! The burgers are very uninspiring. Because they're not flame broiled, the meat is rather greasy. Its the same consistency throughout, so if you like your burgers a little more well done on the outside, you won't be getting it here. As others mentioned, they're very underspiced, so there's very little taste to them at all. In short, there's very little about Whitey's to recommend. This place is designed to maximize the convenience of the staff and the pocketbook of the owner, both at the expense of the customer. Urge you to vote with your feet and dine someplace else. read more

Used to frequent this bar years ago for the Volleyball. Not much has changed since, and that's a good thing. A local joint, that has a lot of character, cheap beers and good bar food! read more

Whitey's is ok! If they had something special to offer I would be able to understand their lack of accepting a credit or debit card...but their food is really just so so! Probably will not go back again! There's a reason why they don't accept a credit card! Hmmmm! read more

I have been working in Richfield for the past 5 years and heard nothing but great things about Whitey's. I finally decided to give them a try. The atmosphere at Whitey's is typical of any other run of the mill sports bar, the food was ok. I had a much raved about burger and (to me) it tasted reheated and was not very good at all. The fries were also ok nothing great about them. The place was packed (on a Thursday night) great for them the service was reasonably fast for how busy they were and our waitress was nice. They are Cash only which does suck although they do have an ATM on site it's annoying to have to shell out a service fee to get cash. I do not see what the big draw to this place is and I don't think I have any reason to give them another visit. read more

Food is excellent as well as the service . Not giving 5 star because for some reason, the bathrooms appear clean but have a strong urine odor. Also, bar is a little too dark (dimmer switch?) read more
