Buckeye Beer Engine

Good food. Fun local place that was better than your typical dive bar. Glad we got a place to sit. The server was pretty prompt, although we might have wanted a bit more frequency on water touch ups.

When I want a wide selection of beers or house made seltzers, with a fast delicious meal, I head to Beer Engine. They made the best house made seltzers in town. Not in a seltzer way, they have a large variety of beers to select from. The staff is always happy to provide a suggestion with a smile. This medium size place has a great patio for perfect for a summer afternoon stop while watching the locals travel by. The menu selection has items like burgers to pierogies, with some vegetarian options available.

I had read some positive things about this place, especially the burgers and poutine. So, in a poutine mood one night, we ventured over. The parking lot was pretty full but inside the restaurant, the volume was a decent level. The staff was friendly and inviting without being bothersome. We ordered a beer along with poutine and a burger. I think there was a non potato option for our side but we just went full in on the double potatoes! And, I am glad we did. Both the fresh made chips and poutine were delicious. The burger wasn't bad either. But... this meal was salty. Like, had a hard time finishing it even sharing it between the two of us salty. So, it was a good dining experience but we will still be hesitant to go back. It's definitely worth trying once but definitely can't make it a regular spot. The brew was good. So maybe just beer and a snack is the way to go.

This is always a reliable spot for good beer & burger. Love the small size of the spot.Have sat at the bar a couple times & table a couple of times. Also enjoyed brunch & the Bloody Mary bar. Just never go wrong here.Remember back when boys were small and each downed their burger, chef had to come out and meet the little ones that conquered their meal. Fun! (Oops, looks like I mentioned this in previous review.)Anyway, let me tell you about my Bourbon Bacon burger that was just SO good. I was skeptical of having gravy on my burger, so I asked for it on the side. And I'm so glad I did. Not because it was bad, quite the opposite! Damn tasty gravy that I could better savor by dipping each bite in. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

They serve brunch!!! I had no idea and I love that you don't need a reservation for Sunday brunch here yet they still have a decent crowd. They also serve their lunch menu for brunch so many options are available for all diets and preferences. Fun fact, they do a Bloody Mary bar with many fixings you can add to it!

Very quaint and local- love the small town vibes inside. Food is always delicious. Due to the small town feel i have noticed quite a few things are out of stock when dining in especially if you are getting dinner after 6:30/7 pm. Service was great, with no complaints. Priced very fair!! Would be back.

There's a parking lot, which is like striking gold in Lakewood!We walk in on a Friday at 6:05pm and it wasn't busy at all; we were seated right away.It took forever for the server to come to our table, then forever for her to bring us our waters. I was so nervous that it was a foreshadowing of how long it would take to get our food...I like the fun, dive bar atmosphere. Things seemed a little bit sticky, but that goes along with any dive bar.We got the pierogi. I'm kind of a pierogi snob and these ranked at the very bottom of one's I've had. PASS.I got a Bella bean wrap, which had really no flavor other than rosemary. I appreciate them trying to be creative and do something different though.My husband got the bourbon back burger and he said it was one of the worst burgers he's ever had.Overall, I would not recommend this place at all!

My husband and I came here when I was craving boneless wings. Yelp told me buckeye beer engine is known for them and so off we went. We were seated quickly at the bar and greeted by our server who got us settled with our beers and took our order. The rotating beer menu is stellar - and I love that you can order different sizes. Typically 16oz of anything is too much for me, so being able to order just a 10 or 5oz pour is a gamechanger. All of the deliciousness of beer with none of the overfull feeling.My wings were unfortunately a disappointment. The sauce was amazing, but the wings themselves were breaded weirdly and clearly had been over cooked - they were dry inside and stringy. So sad! Where are the delicious boneless wings in Cleveland!!Still, this is a great neighborhood spot and the service was good. My husband enjoyed what he ordered, which was a monthly special, much more than I enjoyed my wings, and we both liked the beer and the vibes, so we'll likely give this one more try.

Monday evening $12 burger and beer special worth it. Always appreciate the friendly staff.

DANGEROUS WALkWAYS and PARKING LOT.Not Nearly the same place that it was foodwise when the former owner had the place. He also took care of salting the parking lot and sidewalks. NO EXCUSE for them to leave all the snow and ice for customers and citizens to deal with when they can get FREE Rock Salt at Madison Park.I REFUSE TO GO TO BUSINESSES that don't take care of their surroundings!
