Wings: 9 of 10 only because I would have liked a little more sauce on it. 75 cent wings on Wednesday nights not sure if that is every Wednesday as I had never been before. Those wings are big and meaty! French Dip sandwich: off the...Read More

Loved the French onion soup! I think this might have been my favorite soup! For appetizer we had the rib/fry combo - the ribs were great...plenty of meat and a great sauce. The fries were probably the biggest let down...just regular greasy pub fries. The garlic parm wings...Read More

The Oldest Irish Pub in Cleveland! Pierogies and cold beer hit the spot on a warm day. Super nice bartender. They were also running a free shuttle to/from Cavs basketball games.

Staying in the area for work, and had a couple locals tell me to “go to the flat iron and order lake perch”. Finally made it in for lunch, ordered the perch sandwich and onion rings. This is said to be local Lake Erie perch...Read More

“Pasta” with no pasta. We were served two whole bowls of chicken farfalle pasta without pasta? Waitstaff checked in once after that and didn’t stand around long enough to discuss it. Guess they decided we looked easy to screw over. They were nice enough, but it...Read More

Very disappointed with food. I have never seen a burger that burnt in my life. I wish they did not add spoiled lettuce either. Also, if the owners do not like criticism of their shameful food, they should either not serve it or try better....Read More

Everyone there makes you feel so comfortable and welcomed. Food Serviceis amazing. Wing Wednesday are a must. Their chili is top tier with a nice kick of spice to it. But everything else made with love as well.

There was the worst burger in Cleveland, with a wet, oily bun dripping with grease, as well as a salad with dirty mushrooms, so gritty that the soil crunched on my teeth. Big disappointment unfortunately.
