"Came here after our visit to the Rock Hall because my daughter wanted steak. Sabrina had a very welcoming smile and was happy to explain the outside parking to us. For starters I tried their poutine. The cheese had a nice pull and the gravy had pieces of onions in it. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it.My sirloin steak was cooked to the correct temperature I requested of medium well, but it was type tough and a little difficult for me to chew.I got the Latin Passion mule to drink because I like 21 seeds cucumber jalapeño tequila, the passion fruit purée balanced it.When we were waiting for the bill, my sister ran into the bathroom. After the check was complete, I walked to my car. Sabrina was kind enough to get my attention; I didn't realize my sister left her Fanny pack In the booth. Thank you Sabrina!"
"After a long day of traveling, we were looking for something low key, with vegetarian and meat options. After discovering this place had not one, but two house made veggie burgers, it became the obvious choice. Another review mentioned the beet burger, so I chose that, while my partner opted for a beef burger; we both went with the standard fries as a side. The beet burger was perfect, and my boyfriend was super satisfied with his meat burger. We were seated right away, and drinks were refilled promptly. If we're back this way again, I'll be returning for the beet burger alone!"
"I got a combo plate with pulled pork and brisket and a side of mac and cheese, beans, potato salad. I wish it came with a slice of bread but glad it came with pickles and onions!The food came out very quick. The staff was all very nice. Good BBQ spot coming from this Texas gal."
"I was craving a chicken sandwich and I haven't found any pictures on Yelp for it so here it is!! Nashville Hot Chicken! Definitely super crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside! The spice level could definitely go up a notch but I can't tell you if this is the consistent spice level every time. I definitely enjoyed this meal! My year old son loved the polish dinner and really really loved their sauerkraut! I'm pretty sure he would of ate the whole meal because it was delicious!! Loved the family friend vibe and how they had cartoon playing on the television for the kids in the dining area! Just loved everything about this place and I can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can enjoy the patio!"
"A very good experience. Started off a little shaky; somehow our Saturday reservation, made through the website, was for 6:30 am, not pm. The manager, Dave, quickly handled the situation and it was all good from there.Everything we had was delicious. My wife's filet was cooked to perfection and my peppercorn crusted strip steak was very flavorful. All of the side dishes were excellent as well, especially the Cowboy potatoes.Our waitress was very attentive & efficient. Dave came by several times and really added to the whole experience; a true professional who set a great example of customer service to the young staff.We came because we had a gift certificate that was burning a hole in my wallet, but we will definitely be back!"
"This was such a fun place to go for their holiday pop up bar! We came after Christmas but it did not matter! We had excellent service- entertaining and attentive! We got there for part of their happy hour menu and had copious amounts of foods with big servings. This is a gem in the Strongsville neighborhood."
"Cool nice laidback low key place in the flats. Nice patio, good food , good drinks and good vibes, oh and that chicken!!! Try it it's good"
"This is a standard bar and grill type of place, its not horrible, its not the best. Its simply next to the stadium where you would grab a burger and beer (or whatever your choice is). This is not the place where you would go out of your way to go to, but you would go simply because its there."
"Stopped for lunch. Huge sports bar area. They divided it in half and one side is quieter. My wife got a quesadilla and I got Med wings. We shared side of waffle fries. Good service, clean and food was good. I would recommend them if you are in the area."
"We love Forest City Shuffle Board. We have been a few times and will definitely be going back. It is a great activity for the family. This time we took our adult kids, partner and friend. We had six people and played rounds with two players on a team. It worked out well. The two not playing could eat. They are known for their tater tots and they did not disappoint. Their burgers and appetizers are great also. They have a full bar and vegan options. Make no mistake it is bar food, but it is good bar food. Everyone loves tots and you can get a big tray to share. The staff is very friendly and helpful.I would recommend reservations because it does get busy. We went during Happy Hour so many menu items were $1 off. They have tabletop shuffleboard, regular shuffleboard indoor and outdoor. Overall, just a great family activity. For those that don't know how to play there are very clear instructions."
"Visited for taco week.The shrimp tacos were delicious. I was also surprised how good the pork taco was. That had a delicious pickled red onion.We were able to sit outside at their patio."
"Stumbled on this gold mine! Awesome sandwiches: Turkey Melt and Cleveland Press (like a Philly Steak but way better). Fries were excellent and so were the green beans. Who gets green beans at a bar? Trust me. These! Quiet late Monday afternoon. Well decorated for Halloween already. A real party vibe."

Waitress wasn't attentive. Inside's decor was ok (kind of outdated)nothing spectacular. Food was good. I ordered a buffalo crispy chicken Spanish wrap w/ provolone & bleu cheese crumbles only. It came w/ a pickle & side. I picked tater tots as my side. Who doesn't love tater tots? lol! Inside was a chill vibe & it was a little busy! This place is located downtown by the 1st energy stadium. There actually was a Cleveland guardians baseball game going on(9/15). I wouldn't mind coming back here for the food (was alright for me).Service not so though.

I guess one bad thing about going to a place for yrs is you see that yet another restaurant is giving you less for more money. The small sides are pretty damned small! Food taste...not bad but nothing over the moon either. Barbecue sauce is very vinegary.

We've been fairly regular patrons of Rivals for many, many years now. Used to attend wing night weekly (we like to change it up every year or so), Burger night was always consistently a good, quick, better than "fast food" before bowling night option. Can't say I've ever had anything bad off the menu. Service is always great, and the additional room in back and (now enclose-able) patio with bar were great amenity additions over the years. Our last stop was because the wife is hooked on the Beef Barley soup - one of several very good soup de jour - this one is Monday's. We opted to split the Italiano with the soup. I'm a lover of a good hot Italian sub, and this is just that.Nightly food specials, beer specials and their own brews on tap, not much missing at Rivals!

I was traveling on business with two coworkers, including our sales leader, who wanted to try out the Galaxy as a place to bring customers.The steakhouse seating was closed for a private event, so we were seated in the wineroom. The ambiance is lovely. The room is pleasant and inviting. Since it was midweek, there were only a few tables full. Despite not being busy, the service was very slow.Two of us ordered the pork medallions, and one ordered a filet mignon cooked medium. The pork medallions were so dry that they were difficult to chew. I left most of them on the plate and ate the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes instead. My coworker's filet was also overcooked and served well done instead of medium as he ordered.The service and the food were unimpressive. This is not a place we will return to.

If you want to pay market price for wings as if they were lobster, I guess this is the place to go. The service was sub par and the food was okay at best.

Went prior to a Monsters game for lunch. The ambiance is what you'd expect for a sports bar some tvs with sports on. We ordered a Muni lot which was quite good and a chicken sandwich we felt the chips were better than the fries. The chips were fried and pretty good. The staff was as attentive as she could be due to a schedule error but she did quite well for having the entire house and bar to herself. We would go again.

"Such a cool place for food, drinks and sports. The setup reminds me of the way Damon's BBQ places used to be designed in that they have multiple levels of seating that face a giant wall of screens to watch your favorite game on.As for the food and service, both were great. The service was friendly and attentive. The wings and cheeseburger were absolutely amazing"
"Cowboy is slightly outside of our local area but we decided to try it based on the recommendation of a friend.Our experience was on Sun., 02/25/2024 arriving at around 4:45 p.m. Cowboy is located on the north end of a strip plaza so may not be readily visible to some. Walking in, the dining area is large & open which could be loud when full. Seating options include the bar, bistro tables, standard tables which could be arranged for large groups, & booths that could seat 6 comfortably. The atmosphere is as much sports bar with multiple TVs & country with corrugated metal accents, faux porch overhangs, & ranch-style fencing separating dining areas. There was a decent number of patrons for a late Sunday afternoon & we were given our choice of immediate seating.Both my wife and I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs with wings. She got BBQ with a side of fries while I got Cajun with a side of mac-n-cheese. We both had a side of baked beans with cornbread.We agreed the ribs & wings were both very good with a hint of smokiness. Her fries & my mac-n-cheese were also very good. We both agreed the baked beans were light on beans & heavy on sauce - almost like being a BBQ bean soup. While tasting good, I would not recommend the baked beans as a side. Service was average; no complaints but also nothing exceptional or noteworthy.To summarize, think of Cowboy as Mission BBQ or City BBQ fare with table service & full bar.__________Fellow Yelpers! If you have read to this point, please do me the courtesy of rating my review & thank you in advance for doing so!"
"Fun, local pub feel with live music. Delicious wings & burgers. Fun drink assortment. Friendly staff. Enjoyed our evening"
"Excellent, fresh, prompt service , it was delightful to see a lobster roll on the menu ."
"The food was amazing. I had fish, and it was plentiful. The fried pickles were good, although a few pieces had a little doughy batter. The beers were cold and delicious. Cool place to hang out on the patio and enjoy the good weather. The staff was friendly and the service was quick enough to not take all night."
"Some of the best pizza and salads!!! we got take out fast and correct. Would highly recommend."
"We came here on a Friday night around 6pm and sat at the bar to watch baseball and have a few drinks. Our bartender, I think her name was Brittany, was awesome. She was very friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. After a while, the place started getting very busy, but not annoyingly so. It's a popular place! The atmosphere was chill and fun. After a while we decided to order food. The menu is extensive; there are salads, appetizers, wings, subs, burgers, etc. We ordered the Buffalo stacked fries and the Sicilian burger sub- both were incredible. This is "typical sports bar food", but elevated! I was seriously impressed. Portions are big and everything is reasonably priced. I would definitely go back!"
"3 stars for the decor, otherwise it's just your typical dive, with really good bar food. Big fat wings, known for the burgers, and wings. App menu is seems tasty, we got the loaded fries which were awesome. Drinks made with a kick, the way the wife and I like them."
"Went for Cleveland pizza week and had a great time. Went with a large group and they got all our pizzas out fairly quick and the service was fantastic. Pizza also surprised me at how good it was"
"Great sports bar with lake view, but the tunes play all night .. love it!Bar service was great with Brandy and food excellent."
"We were visiting our daughter and decided to go to a local bar/eatery. A lot of TVs to watch the football games. All of our burgers were great. Wings were good-not too saucy. One of our favorite items were the onion rings. I like that they have specials every day of the week. Nice, clean local place with good bar food."
"Characters is an excellent bar & grill--super staff, high quality pub food (no, not gastropub), and the draft beer is cold and fresh (and there's a full bar, of course). Even the men's room was clean! It's the perfect local joint.Table service was excellent at lunchtime-ish on a Saturday."
"This bar is excellent. Excellent service, excellent food, and a great group atmosphere.I got a pizza and my girlfriend got wings. We both enjoyed the food. We would highly recommend it to anyone."
"It has been a long time since I have been in a restaurant that provides such good service. My friend and I sat on the patio and we're so impressed with the staff who walked around to make sure we were doing well. Our waitress continuously came back to make sure we were happy and did not need anything else"
"We visit Beer and Belly pretty frequently. Why? Well...that's easy. Because it is great! :) Their menu has plenty of choices, all of which are quality. For me, I have to love the Cowboy BBQ burger. It has ghost pepper cheese on it, which for me is wonderful since I love spicy. Honestly, it isn't as hot as you might think, but it get a little bit of your attention. Their pizza is always a go to for me as well.Service is always consistent and attentive. Some think that the food takes a little while to come out, but for a place with a small kitchen, I think the food comes out in plenty of time.They also have a patio out front for those who like to sit outside. Sit down, relax, and enjoy a quality meal!"
"All I can say is what a hidden gem. The food there is great especially the pizza. The staff is always friendly and fun to socialize with. The owners or managers are always there and always touch base with the customers. We go at least once or twice a month and have never been dissatisfied. I highly recommend this place."
"Stopped by here for lunch with the family - indoor dining available and there's plastics extensions that stands between the booths adding more separation between diners. TVs all around. The appetizer game here so strong. When perusing yelp, the mac and cheese was just calling my name-- super creamy and cheesy, everything you want in a mac and cheese. The beer battered onion petals are a MUST, definitely tops our lists as fave app. And lastly we got brussel sprouts with balsamic reduction -- a healthy choice, and quite delicious! All their burgers/sandwiches comes with a side of chips which can be upgraded to any of their sides (salad, tater tots, etc.) for an additional $3. I got their Chicken bacon ranch wrap - really good, just couldn't finish all of it after inhaling their appetizers. Their burgers were also delish - nice and juicy, piled high with condiments. All in all a solid spot for lunch, and don't sleep on their shakes!"
"Took the roasted Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer. Delicious and roasted to perfection especially with the bacon and not bits but the real deal. I ordered the Apple Cran Salad with Poppyseed Dressing. The chicken was plentiful and I loved the poppyseed salad dressing. I was disappointed that the kitchen forgot the bacon and avocado but I still enjoyed it. Different atmosphere with the swings at the bar!!!"
"I've been here a couple of times and it's always quick service and excellent food. I had a grilled chicken salad and it was fresh and tasty. The beer special was a great value and Debbie, our server was right there if we needed a refill or any assistance. Highly recommend."
"Great local sports bar. They have excellent specials both during daily and happy hour. Large menu includes and awesome sandwich with Mac and cheese! Restaurant is clean and the host is typically present."
"Taco Tuesday always a great choice; pairs well with a Pha-King beer! Always friendly and attentive bartenders as well."
"Food was hot and delicious. Portion size large enough that neither of us finished our sandwiches. Broasted potatoes weee crispy and yummy. Something different than your basic French fry."
"Excellent welcome from the host, choice of table or booth, we got a booth! Our waitress was super nice and got our drink order to us quickly and we soon placed our order!No wait to sit, no real wait for food!We ordered pickle chips and Parmesan peppercorn dip to start! Yum! Huge serving!Then a Smokey burger with their breaded fries! And their rack of rib dinner!The burger was a little dry but the huge onion ring and bbq sauce made up for it! The ribs did fall right off the bone and loaded baked potato, salad and coleslaw was so yumma!!!!Great experience! Will be back!!!"
