The Brew Kettle Mentor

Stopped for a quick lunch and ordered the Expedition Burger. Wanted to try this blend of Elk, boar, bison and Waygu beef. One order cooked rare and another medium. Both were perfect! Juicy, flavorful, tender meat with fresh crispy burger veggies on a bun that wasn't soggy! Sides were Crispy Brussels Sprouts (better than my home cooked!) and coleslaw. We lived both sides. Casual and friendly atmosphere. Great friendly service. Place was super clean with tons of tv's and a gigantic screen over the bar. Easy parking and location. We will come back!

Very good dinner. Place was clean and had nice seating options. Waitress was very friendly and engaging. We enjoyed our Buffalo dips. The burger was great with the add on. Excellent flavor and held up well. The sweat potato fries were great. My wife enjoyed her grilled cheese. The single spoonful of coleslaw was unfortunate because it had a very good taste to it.

Went at an off time, late lunch. No other tables so not overwhelmed. It was our first time here, waitress made no effort to inform us on specials, sat app. Plates, silverware and menus at the end of the table. We had to set table ourselves. I ordered a Reuben , they had no sauerkraut and only had 3 thin pieces of pastrami, it was so greasy. We were a party of 5 , so things were good and others no so much. Overpriced for what we got.

I very rarely leave a one-star, but I couldn't find a whole lot to be positive about. Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Started with the Buffalo Chicken dip appetizer. It was loaded with blue cheese and there was no mention of it in the menu. Two of the three of us dislike blue cheese, so it was a thumbs down. Thankfully the waitress (who was very sweet) refunded it after realizing there was no mention of blue cheese on the menu. I ordered the Turkey Reuben and it was terrible. The Turkey was falling apart and SO dry. It was clearly days old and reheated. I ordered the side of Mac and cheese - which is not something I normally order. However, since it seemed to be a staple item on the menu - I had to give it a try. Again, old.. reheated ... pasty texture and absolutely NO taste. Husband ordered the meatloaf sandwich. It was average. Wasn't a fan of the BBQ sauce, but that's a matter of taste. Sweet potato fries were also average. We also ordered a side of fries for my daughter since she couldn't eat the chicken dip - and they were ok. Nothing fancy - I've had better fries frozen. It takes a lot for me to rate one star, but this was by far the worst lunch I've eaten at a restaurant in years. We will not be back.

We had a great experience at Brew Kettle in Mentor last night. A group of 10 of us came, expecting for a long wait since they do not take reservations but we were seated promptly. The place is roomy and had TVs everywhere for sports which was a huge highlight for our group. Patty was our server and she was wonderful. Half of our group pre-gamed dinner a bit and were a bit silly off the bat and she handled it so perfectly and patiently. She was a rock star all night and we really enjoyed having her as our server. We would ask for her again 100%. We tried multiple beers and cocktails. I opted for the rum punch which was sweet and delicious, a very fun cocktail. I also tried a sip of my husband's Utah which was a rich and delicious IPA, and we split the Cherry Limeade beer which was different but actually really good, I enjoy sour beers so this was up my alley. For food our table ordered a few cheesesteaks, a few fish & chip plates, a couple different pastas and burgers and I ordered the Three Little Pigs. First I'll start with how good their fries are! They are the delicious crispy thick but not quite steak thick fries which were incredible. My husband loved his burger. My very picky father in law enjoyed the Caprese pasta. I think my three little pigs needed more sauce of some-sort but otherwise very good, well cooked pork belly. There was not a single complaint at the whole table of 10 which is almost unheard of!! My cousin said their pickles are really good and ordered extra pickles which Patty kindly and quickly obliged! And for 10 people we thought the price was incredibly affordable and reasonable! We have a great time and I would consider this a top-notch experience for families or even groups. Ask for Patty (only if you are going to be nice to this queen), she's a gem!

Food was not good in my opinion. Tried it twice and was disappointed. My wife was disappointed as well. Made our last trip there.

I have been to this restaurant a hand full of times since they opened and each time the food and service has been good. They have a unique beer menu with a lot of local breweries featured as well as their own. Entrees were piping hot even during a slower Saturday time (around 3) . Only saw two employees a bar tender/ host and server for the whole dining area. Still wanted for nothing and service was attentive.

Food was awful greasy and weird tasting fries and the service was awful. We wished we would have went anywhere else. No one was In The place and it took forever and the waitress was not good at all

This is one of my favorite places! The green bean fries were the absolute best item on the menu & I am heartbroken they took that off, as that is why we went there (coming from someone that does not like green beans). Their pulled pork & sweet potato fries (oh I hope they still have them!) are my go-to items. Avoid seasonal items & the chicken parm sandwich (chicken was more like a hockey puck & extremely hard to bite into). The service is always amazing & it is so fast to get a table and food, no matter how packed it is. I highly recommend. They are always changing their menu, so be aware some things come and go, but always good regardless. Would also recommend buffalo chicken dip; not too spicy and not made with nasty blue cheese.Edited to add: I went Feb 2024 & the sweet potato fries are gone. They changed their buffalo chicken dip to have hard as a rock pita chips (could not even bite into them) instead of tortilla chips. I do not like any of the side options. I hate fair fries so threw mine out. Really miss the sweet potato fries, green bean fries, & good appetizer options. I will no longer visit here until they fix the menu.

I loved this place when it first opened in Mentor. Beer was great, food was wonderful. But it has really gone down hill. Menu has changed and is now limited, prices went up, food is re-heated, used to be able to sample the beer and now there are limitations. And there is a 3% surcharge if you use a card in what they are trying to make a cashless society. If you did something positive in that place, maybe you could bring some of your customers back. Used to get a nice size crowd but recently when I go in there I am the only person. And I am not paying $7 for a beer and find out I don't care for it because I couldn't get a taste.
