The Walrus

I kept hearing about this place, and hearing how good it was, but it didn't quite seem like my kind of place, and it wasn't quite in the neighborhoods frequent. Today, I figured what the heck, and stopped in when I was passing nearby. It's joined to a bar, and the inside has a very old-school bar feeling with brick walls, etc. I happened in on a Monday, which is burger day, and they talked me into trying one. And it was excellent. $5 burgers, all toppings a small extra charge. I ended up spending $7.50 for one with lettuce, tomato, sautéed onions, chipotle mayo, and queso fresco. It came out and looked pretty small, but also pretty tall, and paired with a side it was plenty for lunch. Nice meaty burger, excellent bun, perfect toppings. Just a really good burger all around. At a really good price. Get two if you're super hungry, although by the time I ate it and my side of excellent Brussels sprouts topped with a ton of bacon, I was full. Service was excellent. Prices were good, but of course it was a super deal so I'm not sure about the rest of the menu. And the rest of the menu is very interesting, with essentially upscale bar food. The beer and cocktail menus also look interesting. The place is cozy and comfortable; the restaurant area in the front doesn't seem that big, but in the back it is bigger, and there's a bar, and there's a whole 'nother side of the building. There's a pool table, a stage, an interesting booth/dining nook, and more. Excellent fast friendly service all around. I will definitely be back to try some of the other options, andheck, if I am hungry for a burger on a Monday.

They had TNFPlaying so that was nice And the mules were great!**tusk & mule was delicious and strong. Missing some items on the food menu but that's ok, we ordered other stuff.

Went on a Wednesday night and there was no wait. Our server was very friendly and efficient. The cocktails were very tasty! The god came out with and hot. Well seasoned also. Can't wait to go back and try a cbd drink

Friendly service. Bacon cheeseburger was excellent. I went for lunch but the place looks like it would be fun at night or during a game.

First time dining at The Walrus and definitely recommend! I want to start with saying we had the absolute best service (thank you Joey D.). We went out for dinner on a Friday night and decided to go to the Walrus. The food was delicious, it was such a good experience, and it was such a nice view watching it snow downtown through the front glass door! Recommend adding the sautéed onion (+ $.50) to the Maple Burger and then grab a fountain drink. The Diet Coke was the perfect mix and so refreshing.We enjoyed:*Goat Cheese & Marinara - Fresh goat cheese, breaded, fried, and served with marinara & fried basil at $11.50.*Maple Burger - House made maple burger topped with candied bacon & havarti that was $15.50 + $.50 for added topping.*Short Ribs (GF) - Slow roasted short ribs in gravy served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes & parsnips for $18.50.The burger was a little smaller than expected but was good and it wasn't quite Medium Well. Inside was also a little loud but can't wait to go back to try some more dishes.

Came in for restaurant week and my partner and I got both the chicken sandwiches. They were a little too black for us. But we got the veggie nachos to start and those were delicious!! the tiramisu was good for dessert but kinda sloppy on my plate. It didn't really hold its shaoe

A nice place to visit before a show at the Ohio Theatre. It was an easy walk from the garage and to the theater from the restaurant. On this visit we had a group of 8 which we were easily able to make a reservation for online. They have a nice cocktail menu and beer list. We did have some cocktails that were ordered off the menu and they arrived in short and tall glasses so make sure you specify when ordering. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the star seemed to be the short rib dinner. Absolutely delicious!

Multiple people told me this was a must try place, so I was super excited to go for restaurant week. I tried their $30 deal and ordered the Tavern pretzels, short rib dinner and chocolate cake. My partner ordered the maple burger. Overall this whole experience was okay, but we both agreed we wanted more and this experience was not worth $30 per person. The only thing I'd go back for is the Tavern pretzels! They were easily a 5/5 and absolutely delicious.The vibe is family friendly and laidback. Yes people were drinking, but it's the vibe at least during normal dinner time where people keep to themselves and nothing crazy is going on. We saw lots of families, couples and groups of friends hanging out.The service was good. The waitress refilled our waters and made sure we knew when food was about to come out. Now to talk about the three dishes. The short rib was okay. The mashed potatoes tasted home made, the meat was tender and the veggies were a little undercooked. The flavor was a bit dull and the meal overall just tasted like something you could eat at someone's house. It wasn't bad, but just not great. The maple burger was similar except the burger was a little dry, skimpy on the bacon and the fries were really greasy. Typical bar food, but not something I'd crave when I'm not drinking. Lastly the chocolate cake was good. It's from joyful baked goods that specializes in gluten free baked goods Overall, I just wasn't too impressed and don't plan on going back. If bar food is something you enjoy with a laid back environment, definitely give them a try!

Went there on a quiet Sunday evening for a family members birthday. She loves their homemade veggie burger and that's what she wanted so we obliged. My hubby got the maple burger and I got the candied bacon grilled cheese. The fries are battered, so I don't think they were fresh cut, but they were still good. I wanted something light, and the grilled cheese definitely fit the bill. The candied bacon was delicious. We got the dip trio (queso, guac, pico de gallo) for an app. The queso was awesome and tasted like it was made with real cheddar cheese. (I will get the nachos next time, now that I know they make good queso!) My hubby liked the maple burger, but he agreed with me, and would want to try the nachos next time. It was our server Cody's first day waiting tables, and he did a fantastic job. He was super nice and friendly. Overall a great experience.

We had 7 of us and they handled the large group perfectly. I had a burger and it hit the spot. Very hearty and great taste. The fries are great. Others had the lobster roll and felt it was as good as anyone they have ever had. The other favorite was the Chicken hand breaded and 100% a favorite. The service was spot on and so friendly.
