“We had a great time, good service and good food! Our kids didn't like the chicken nuggets bc they were sweet but their kids and goofy 😹 the cocktails were great! Fun atmosphere. Also family friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see a diaper change area that had wipes and diapers. There were also menstrual products. It was such a thoughtful touch!“

“Ate at The Third Place while visiting my mom during Thanksgiving. Had the Sunday special, the Meatball Casserole. It was delicious with lots of cheese and sauce to dip the garlic bread in. Also had a side salad. I recommend spending the extra $2.50 and getting the salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Yum! I wish I remembered the servers name. It began with a J. She did a good job and was friendly.“

“What a great place! My wife's been here several times before but this was my first chance to join her. I love the space and the concept, and the owner was super friendly and answered my many questions about the business and the beer.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that there were several beers that I would have never ordered normally, but since it was by the ounce I was able to do a lot of sampling and found that I enjoyed a couple more than I would have guessed. Great place to expand your beer palate!“

“We recently hosted my daughter’s graduation dinner at Whistle Taproom and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We had around 35 guests over a 3-hour event, and everything exceeded our expectations.

The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and consistently fresh throughout the evening. The staff provided outstanding service and made sure our guests were comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. What truly stood out was the communication — both leading up to the event and during the dinner itself. The team was responsive, organized, professional, and incredibly easy to work with.

Their event packages were also very affordable, especially considering the quality of the food, venue, and service provided. Planning a graduation celebration can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We received so many compliments from our guests and would absolutely host another event there in the future. Highly recommend for graduation parties, family celebrations, or private events!“

“Went to Hi 5 tonight for some food and a few cocktails. It was insanely busy, Saturday night before Mother’s Day and tons going on downtown and a concert. We sat at the bar and I have to give a shout out to our bartender Sophie. She was so great, took care of us the whole time along with a million other people. She never broke a sweat and kept on smiling. Go sit at the bar and chat with Sophie, good bartender, funny and sweet! Thanks for making my Mother’s Day, my kids don’t live around me!“

“I had my retirement party at the 3 Spot last Saturday, and they could not have been more accommodating! We've known for a long time that the staff is exceptional and friendly, but we're super impressed now with everyone there! I don't want to leave anyone out, but we remember Dave, Karen, P.J., Ryan, Thomas, Corbin, and our server for the evening, Lisa. She was wonderful-keeping an eye on the group in case someone needed anything. She is fast, friendly, and efficient! The side room was clean, cozy and nicely decorated with a Christmas tree in the corner. And last, but not least, the food is AWESOME! I was glad to have leftovers so we could share, and also enjoy the day after. We had the pizza, BBQ meatballs, Buffalo Chicken dip, pretzel bites, and a really nice looking veggie tray. I would recommend anything on their menu. Thank you all at 3 Spot, you helped to make my party a wonderful memory! Blessings, Lois and Rick Biagiola“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“I was invited to a music gig on a Sunday several weeks ago and have stopped several times since. It's a great place and bike riding distance from my home. Each time I've met new friends and owner and bar are authentice and unique! The music presented is such a gift.“

“Sunday tradition now. The burgers and wings are a must have.“

“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“I didn't order what I usually order because they had recently added something completely different to their menu and it seem to fancy me. So I ordered it. I can't remember what it is called but it had warm honey, mushrooms and chicken. SOOOO tasty! And filling, which really counts. I ended up not needing to order an appetizer to take home because I was full and content. I totally recommend checking out nuances in their menus.“

“Got filet meals to go. we both really enjoyed. Bar looked fun af also. Ill be back.“

“Good food great service. Friendly Had rough day and felt at home“

“I've been going to Mike's Bar & Grille in downtown Berea for a couple of years now, and every time I'm in town I make it a point to stop in. I always look forward to trying their Burger of the Month and whatever new beers they have on tap or cans. The food is consistently good. They also do a nice job rotating monthly specials. They're very pup-friendly too, which has us excited to bring our Goldens along when we make the cross-country drive in the RV this summer. Solid food, great drinks, and a welcoming neighborhood spot. Highly recommend if you're in the Berea area!“

“8pm, Sept. 2025 the carryout pizza was burned, pepperoni was dried out“

“Great place with good food.“

“I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the team at Applebee's Grill + Bar (Strongsville, OH)!

After a truly disappointing experience at the Middleburg Heights location, switching to the Strongsville spot was a breath of fresh air. The service here was incredibly fast and responsive. Our server was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed right away.

It was the polar opposite of my recent visit to the Middleburg Hts location. There, the bartender was incredibly rude and unprofessional—she was literally bashing plates down on our table. Most upsetting was the clear bias we experienced; we could plainly see her acting and talking completely differently to the other tables compared to how she treated us. The lack of basic communication and respect was jarring.

Suggestion: I highly recommend that the Middleburg Heights management conduct a thorough review of their staff’s professional conduct and implement mandatory diversity and sensitivity training. Every guest deserves to feel welcomed, not targeted.

Thank you, Strongsville, for showing us what great service looks like!“

“Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of Riverwood Cafe, there lived six legendary characters who made every visit feel like a fairy tale. ✨

Queen Michelle ruled the land with kindness and laughter, always making everyone feel welcome the second they walked through the doors. Sir Tony brought the charm, jokes, and energy that could light up even the darkest forest nights. Julie, the woodland fairy of good vibes, somehow made every table feel like home with her warm heart and contagious smile.

Princess Sarah sprinkled joy like pixie dust everywhere she went, while Brandon, the brave knight of Riverwood, kept the kingdom running smoothly no matter how wild the tavern became. And of course, Sam — the wise wizard behind the scenes — made sure the magic never stopped flowing.

Together, they turned Riverwood Cafe into more than just a bar… it became a storybook escape where laughter echoed louder than dragons and memories were made like happily-ever-afters. Whether you came for one drink or stayed until the clock struck midnight, you always left feeling like part of the kingdom.

5 stars for the most magical crew in the land. 🏰🍻✨“

“Great bar food, crispy wings, juicy burgers and a great selection of beers on tap (43 when I visited). It's barside ordering and there.can be a.wait to order when busy. Decor is good too with large displays of bottles , taps, and local bobbleheads. It's a little on the pricy side but in line with what you would pay at other downtown establishments. Overall, I think it's a.geat place to stop before or after a Cleveland game for alcohol and grub.“

“Crystal the bartender was amazing. Great service, food and value. I’ll be back“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“My family has had a couple benefits there and was a great turnout, but than I had to actually order something from the menu and I have to say it was EXCELLENT, the food is great and they have an awesome menu!“

“Great food, great service“

“Chewy is amazing couldn’t ask for a better server literally was so kind and caring“

“I went twice here for dinner one on a Friday and one time for dinner the next day! while visiting Cleveland from Kent first time I went I got burger and tots second time was salmon dinner and for both times I got the server Jordan she did an amazing job and since I work at a restaurant myself it was neat talking and exchanging experiences of what’s it’s like working in the restaurants and I think when you meet other restaurant workers you can relate to one another. The food was great server did an outstanding job. The second time when the hostess’s was going to seat me I saw Jordan as they were going to seat me and requested her and she was like ya I can take you cause I rather have a server who I know does a good job at there job and who has a good personality and that’s what makes a restaurant and a great server I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“The ball boy Owen Reese was a delight to me must see him again ;)“

“Might just be a best kept secret in Parma. Immediately when entering, I was greeted with a hello from the bartender! The drinks were good, the service was good, friendly people to talk to and engage with. It was a good night. Thank you Parma Pit Stop.“

“Back, better than ever!!! New floor, new paint..looks great �“

“Friendly staff- extremely lovely people work there. Been attending this pub on and off for many years whenever I'm in town and I am never disappointed. Nice, low-key, laid-back atmosphere (in a GOOD way), digital jukebox (us lazy tipsy people can play songs right from our phones if we so wish- plus, who carries cash anymore?), decent variety of beers on tap and did I say the staff rules? They're great. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm in town.“

“Hope our server was amazing, she got us the best Bloody Mary a girl could as for!!! She was attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed! We went for brunch and the food was so good!! The Crab cake benny, French toast, and breakfast sandwich were great.“
