“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.“

“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!“

“Fun little place. Good drinks, pleasant bartenders, good prices.

If your not from the area, be careful pulling out. I didn't notice the sign and turned the wrong way. Cop was very nice and gave me a warning, but pay attention. My fault for not. .. Just glad I was the designated driver.“

“Characters Bar & Grill is mine and my husband’s go‑to spot! The food is always great and the service is just as good.

It’s one of those places you can count on every time—good food, friendly staff, and an overall great experience. We’re there regularly and will definitely keep coming back!“

“Great meatballs!!! Dini was wonderful. Fantasioso server!!!! 1st trip here. We will be back.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Hello , normally i dont ever write reviews but regarding this situation with all things considered i just felt the need that i had to . Ok so where to begin .. first off the day started off on a bad note .. i had family coming in from out of town and things weren't going as planned and the day was more hectic than any other . Eventually we had decided to relax , calm our nerves and get a bite to eat so i had decided take them to Applebee's at Westgate , and heres where our day started to turn around .. Our servers name was Paige and what a breath of fresh air she was . Her warm welcoming presence , her smile and kind nature . Theres tons i can say but overall extremely satisfied with her service .. my family and myself were delighted to have gone here to eat and Paige just put it over the top ! We are extremely thankful for her and the service Applebee's had provided for us . We will definitely be coming back soon !! Thank you Paige and Applebee's for making mine and my families get together an amazing memorable one 🙂 cant be more appreciative !! ☺️☺️☺️“
