“Whistle was so friendly and accommodating! They were a great place for our little kids to run around while we waited for our food. They evenbrought us free over cream for the kids while we waited! Their self service beer was super cool and refreshing. The food was delicious!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed being with friends“

“My buddies & I came in over the weekend and the vibe was awesome! The bartender told us they have a new drink menu - I got the frozen pina colada and my girlfriend got an espresso martini, both were great! Awesome service, a bunch of games, definitely recommend!“

“If you’re looking for a place to have some good easy food & great drinks, Foxes is where to go! Charlie is a WONDERFUL bartender, had us cracking up & provided the best service. He was very attentive to all of the guests, & the cook in the back (so sorry I forgot his name) was quick & made great food! They seemed to work well as a team, which as a former bartender really shows me how positive the environment is! Definitely going to be my regular “going out” spot for sure :)“

“On July 11, 2026 I ate honey mustard bone-in wings and fries. I was in town riding with Cleveland Bike Life. There was approximately 30 of us who came in at one time. The bar staff were nice, attentive, and very professional. They told us it would be a wait but I got my food in record time.

The wings and fries were hot and GREAT!!!!! I really enjoyed the food and they way the bar staff kept checking in to see if I was good.

I would absolutely come here again.“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“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!“

“Came here for lunch after shopping on Sat 6.20. My friend and I sat at the bar and Paige was our bartender. She was working bar stools with table tops and served every guest with such amazing service. All her tables left with smiles and waves like she knew every one of them personally. Her drink recommendation for the 2 of us fit us perfectly for what we wanted and our food was hot and quick which worked perfectly for us to get to our movie in time (which she said she would make it work even with all the clientell in the building and she did!)!!! She was great company and will stop up here to see her again for a good time!“
