this place is phenomenal! first off, the atmosphere is awesome. really feels like hometown USA in here. everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing. i caught myself looking at all the food coming out around me to different tables and wanting to order it all. we got a variety of different things to try and everything was awesome. the plain jane burger was so good and i can't wait to come back to try more of their famous burgers. we loved the fact that the burger came with a side of cheese sauce for the fries, it was an awesome Suprise. the fries and onion rings were AWESOME, great flavor and super crispy which I love. Definitely don't skip out on the onion rings and fries. I really want to try their other sides as well now!The stuffed cabbage was so yummy, the red sauce on top was so good that I asked for an additional side of it. They were stuffed to the max and laid on top of amazing garlic mashed potatoes. everything had such great flavor. the meatloaf was also super yummy, it came with gravy but honestly dipping it in ketchup was good for me. overall, this place is worth the hype! all the food was awesome and i can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. it was a bit of a hike for me, about 30/35 minutes but I would do the drive again in a heartbeat for sure!

Was told by many sources that this is the best hamburger in town. I had to make the trek to check it out for myself. It is indeed good but not the best I've ever had and not quite worth the trek. There are places on the east side equally as good. Chris' in Cleveland Heights is better IMO.Also, the service is very slow. I had to repeat my order to waitress several times and it was just me at the bar. The bar has about 14 tables total and there were about 30 persons in the establishment, 2 servers handling everyone including the bar. It was obvious the waitresses were slammed.The coffee is terrible as well. So, I may give it another shot but for the 25 bucks, I may not.

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. It was so busy but we were helped right away. Food was delicious and our server was attentive! Would definitely go back if we're in the area.

Whenever my coworkers and I need a place to eat after work, we always find ourselves at Gunselman's as they have some of the best burgers and fries around Cleveland!We all decided to create our own burgers this night - and they were all delicious. (I got bacon on mine so I think mine was the best!) The side of fries is always a good idea here - so crispy and perfectly salted, I could eat a whole bucket of these fries!! My other friend got mashed potatoes and she said they were equally as tasty! The workers here are also so lovely and helpful even when the restaurant is very packed!! If you're around Fairview Park and are in need of a good lunch, I definitely recommend stopping here and grabbing a bite to eat - you won't be disappointed!

Stopped in here for dinner. Sat on the patio and was greeted quickly. Started with the onion rings. They were delicious. They seemed fresh and homemade. The batter was not thick and had good flavor. I ordered the pierogi cheeseburger. The "bun" was a big pierogi on both sides. The burger was overcooked a tad for my medium request, but still flavorful. The side was sauerkraut, peppers, and onions. It also came with a thousand island like sauce. I requested sour cream as well, as I think it pairs well with the pierogis. I don't think I would order this again as those 2 items didn't pair as well as I thought, however it was a nice change and good to try!

We have heard so many raves about Gunselman's Tavern, we finally stopped in. It was a beautiful evening to sit on their patio. Every server we passed was friendly and welcoming. Our server was especially nice and attentive. Their menu has alittle more than your typical bar food. They have pierogis, cabbage and noodles, along with kielbasa. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich. And I ordered their famous steak sandwich. The food came very promptly. It was warm and delicious! The fried chicken extended way over the bun. My steak sandwich was so tender and had a good portion of mushrooms and onions on it. My husband had 2 beers. I had a blueberry lemonade. The drinks and dinners came to a more than reasonable $48.00. I highly recommend a stop at Gunselman's Tavern.

Visiting Cleveland for the first time and this spot was highly recommended by locals on Facebook and Yelp! They have a dedicated parking lot. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Upon entering, it definitely has the "old pub" vibe. I love all the old pics of Mr. Gunselman and the building. So cool to see the history in this establishment. Our server Izzie did a great job. We wanted to try something that we haven't seen or had before. The October burger of the month is the Roctoberfest for $18. It is served with potato pancakes and a Cleveland mustard cream sauce. This burger consists of a blend of brisket, Chuck and short rib. It is served on a pretzel bun topped with sautéed onion, cheddar cheese, spicy kielbasa medallions and Cleveland mustard cream sauce! Wow!! The flavors are amazing!! This is a MUST try!! Thank you Gunselmans for not disappointing us and providing a delicious lunch!

Gunselmans TavernA Little road trip to Fairview Park for lunch today after a recommendation from a friend. Stepping back in history on December 11, 1936 was the day Henry Gunselman took over The Pastime Cafe and began the legacy of Gunselman's Tavern. This great old tavern has been the central public house of the community for more than 80 years. Gunselman's Tavern was listed in the Cleveland Magazine as one of the best burgers in Cleveland. So, we had to try it out. Rick had the mushroom burger and I had the Shogun. It was every bit as delicious as it is described. Great little place to eat. We sat outside and had the best waitress! Now for the others

My husband and I came on a Friday night around 8pm. It was busy and lively inside. We were told it'd be. 30-45 minute wait but we could wait at the bar. There were actually a couple bar stools open so we just ended up ordering and eating there. Our table actually only took 10 minutes to be available. We did not let our phones eat first lol, hence the bad photos. I got the shrimp basket and side salad. Shrimp was so good and the cocktail sauce tasted like they made it with the perfect amount of horse radish. My husband got the fish and chips. Fish was flaky and tender and the fries were yummy! Even though both items were fried, they didn't feel super greasy or heavy. We loved our meals and would recommend.
