17 Best American Restaurants in Lakewood

“We had the pleasure of dining at Pier W for lunch today, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the delicious food to the impeccable service and breathtaking view, this restaurant truly has it all. First and foremost, the food was a culinary delight. I had the Walleye and my wife had the scallops for our main course. The crab cakes & shrimp cocktail were our choice for appetizer. All dishes were a symphony of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was as artistic as it was delicious. The service was equally impressive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile, and our server, Ellen was well-versed in the menu, helping us make the perfect choices. The pace of the meal was just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed.“

“Excellent dinner tonight on the patio. Nick took great care of us again. Will be back soon.“

“Great food atmosphere location… had a good waitress! I recommend everyone to come in and dine at least once..“

“Showed up in time to enjoy happy hour and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered lamb meatballs, koi hoisin pork belly, and mussels with togarashi puree. The meatballs were tender, moist, cheesy, and flavorful (ngl gave luxury ikea meatballs and I wasn't mad about it). The pork belly was a mouthful of flavor and texture, with crisp skin, and beautiful celeriac puree combined with the crunchy pickle/kimchi radish. The mussels made fun to play with tiny forks, grilled sourdough bread, rich and perfectly cooked but definitely not enough bread for scooping up a sauce so good. Unfortunately unimpressed by the marg, but the Elder Collins made up for it. We continued with the epic eats and had the charred octopus and duck bucatini. I'm a sucker for anywhere that serves octopus in a single tentacle over pieces and this one lived up to it. Cooked to perfection with complimentary flavors and textures combining bites of octopus, crispy potatoes, and salsa verde was incredible. The duck bucatini featured housemade ground duck sausage and bucatini from the local Flour Pasta Co. Incredible flavors, creamy but not heavy, somehow light and a bit citrusy, fresh yet rich with the duck. We ran out of room before getting to the pie (which is apparently one of their showstoppers) but we are looking forward to returning sooner than I think. The ambiance was fun, beware it gets surprisingly dark once the sun is down for the day. My only complaint was the marg (feels to easy to get wrong) and we did get asked by the server a bit excessively how it was going. Neither of which will skew my rating or next visit. Can't wait to give the rest of the menu a shot.“

“This is a great place to catch a show! Intimate venue and the acoustics were great! I definitely would see another concert there!“

“Crispy chicken sandwich was wonderful. Fries were my favorite kind, and the side salad was perfectly executed. Drinks were refreshing and creative, lavender in the Pomona was a subtle point of interest. Brisket sandwich was amazing. I'll be back soon“

“was there last Saturday had the best fish fry n pierogi dinner... excellent server and the food was not greasy at all ..I had haddock and pierogi's..the coleslaw was very fresh n tasty as well...I highly recommend the fish fry!! definitely 5 stars*“

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️“

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!“

“Has a 1950's Chicago rib joint feel. Really outstanding menu and good service. The chef came out to talk about allergen concerns. Great selection of Beers and spirits. All they really have to do is to add full slabs of baby back ribs slow smoked to perfection.“

“Place is great! The comedy show last night was packed and featured a lot of talented comics. Love the patio too!“

“My wife ordered the Parm. Crusted Cod, it was cooked perfectly(pictured). You could tell the mash potatoe was fresh made. I ordered the fish and chips, the fish was very tasty and the fries were fresh cut. They were a bit soft. The caper tartar sause was house made, which was also very good.“

“It was a Friday when we went. The place was busy which is always great to see. Around 6:30 or so they turned up the music and that made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. When you are in a bar that is already playing music and has lots of people, it is pretty noisy so if you turn up the music it becomes even worse.“

“Great food and wonderful hospitality. The drinks are amazing“

“We stumbled into Georgetown on the hunt for a Christmas bar and maybe an espresso martini. The first place we went was absolutely packed, so we went scampering off for a less crowded experience. Georgetown literally caught our eyes due to the patio, all decked out in Christmas lights with Igloos. in we go, to a rather classy bar with low key holiday decorations and a good vibe. We just grabbed seats at the bar and service was pretty quick. They had a holiday drink menu, but had forgotten to bring it out until we asked. The regular cocktail menu looked good, too, but we wanted festive! The star of the night was the mint chocolate martini. I'm going to guess it's a variation on a grasshopper, but it had chocolate syrup swirled around the glass, so I was there for it. Overall, we had a nice experience and I'd check them out again.“

“Nice atmosphere and great food and service is good.“

“A good place to chill out, watch the game, or grab a bite. Whether busy or slow its a good vibe. Back patio is cozy, also another bar back there for when its busy. They allow you to bring in take out, if the kitchen is closed, which is cool. Great wings and burgers otherwise!“
