Good food with a great menu. Lots of choices for anyone in the family. And if you just want a burger, it's one of the best I've had in Tremont!

The Rowley Inn is a genuine dive with panache. The Rowley Inn has been long standing next to a Christmas Story House and Museum, so it has its fair share of foot traffic for being tucked away as it is. The food is epically phenomenal, with dishes native to cleveland that can only be found here due to other closers since 2020. Don't forget to pair it with a locally brewed cold draught.Parking: Parking is along the street as it's tucked away in a neighborhood.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no wheel chair accessibility

I’ve been to the Rowley Inn a couple of times but this time wasn’t really that good. Okay, I get that this place gets really packed for brunch, but they don’t even let you walk up to the bar and get a drink or a coffee. You have to get the buzzer even if you want a spot at the bar! They place is definitely lacking cleanliness and it just seems a little dirty. I ordered the white chocolate coffee and it had a hair in it. I wanted to let the server know about it but she seemed super flustered from the beginning that I couldn’t muster the energy to let her know about my coffee situation! The food was good- we got the poutine and the shrimp and grits but the entire time I kept thinking about the hair in my coffee that sat right in front of me and thought if I’d choke on a hairball after eating the food!

The food was fantastic. The bacon wrapped tots were the best appetizer I've had in a long time. My main dish was a spicy chicken sandwich with a side of homefries. The homefries were really crispy, which I love. The sandwich was delicious. The service received was excellent. Can't wait to come back amd try a new item from the menu.

Walking into The Rowley Inn feels like stepping into a place where everybody knows your name, and if they don’t, they will before you leave. This intimate pub, nestled in the heart of Cleveland, is more than just a restaurant; it’s a haven where the hearty breakfast and brunch menus reign supreme. The food here isn’t just good, it’s the kind of fare that fuels you for the day’s battles and negotiations. The staff makes you feel like family, and the atmosphere is just right for discussing business or relaxing with friends. Whether it’s their perfectly cooked eggs or the pancakes that remind you of a simpler time, The Rowley Inn is a gem in Cleveland. A place I’d recommend to allies and rivals alike, for the food is too good to keep to oneself.

Great lil neighborhood sports. Parking can be a pain, but once you're in, there's plenty to stay for.
Enjoyed an afternoon at The Christmas Story house and lunch at Rowley Inn. Everyone was so nice and there was a jukebox. Drinks were well made and the food was very good. Fries were crispy. Chicken Sammy was simple but 10/10 on all gears.

My husband and I have been so enthused about coming here after watching it on DDD. The first time we drove 3 hours on a Monday, it was closed. Today we tried again, also a Monday, about 2pm. We were excited they were open. The manager seated us at a very small table. I asked her if we could have the larger table next to it because I'm claustrophobic in small places but we were also planning on ordering a lot of food. She said, "No, those tables are reserved for parties of 3 or more." The restaurant was virtually empty and a larger party never came in. That table remained open as did every table in the front of the restaurant. She wanted to save a table for a customer that may or may not come in later but I'm here now with money to spend and being treated very poorly. In addition to her unwillingness to accommodate her customers' request, she was also very rude and unfriendly. I wanted to get up and walk out but considering we drove 3 hours I did not. My husband got the burger. He liked it. I got the stuffed pablano pepper. It was luke warm after a very long wait to prepare it but otherwise tastey. But I think I would try something different if we ever return. My biggest complaint is please accommodate your customers' requests when possible. Especially on a Monday after the lunch rush and before dinner. I mean every table was open.

First time here, and I was unaware the kitchen closes between 2-3 on Saturday. It is awesome that they take care of the kitchen staff! We were seated and had a drink and also plenty of time to look over the menu and change my mind multiple times. Everything was amazing, definitely will be back!!!
