“First time here and tbh, I'm looking forward to my next trip to Cleveland just so I can eat here again. The food was homemade goodness. The coffee was delicious. Our server Monica made us feel welcomed and is very knowledgeable not only on the menu, but she helped answer a few questions we had about places in Cleveland ( we're from Pittsburgh and we were definitely out of our element). Also, grumpys showcases local artist and you can buy the pictures, paintings and little sculptures they have around the restaurant. If you come to Cleveland, make it a point to stop here. You will not be disappointed. Def get the cajan home fries. Not spicy, but very well seasoned and flavorful.“

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

I would highly recommend to anyone considering a venue in the Cleveland area. - David & Andrea“

The viener schnitzel, city chicken and cevapi are a must.“

“When I mention Academy Tavern I mention “Cheers,” where every one knows your name. The establishment provides great food, great pricing, personable and timely bar staff, and conversation with anyone and everyone. Owner, Jessica’s smile and giggles are heart warming, and Owner Chris makes sure every woman is walked to her car by a man in the restaurant if not himself. If this isn’t community, I don’t know what is.“

“I ordered a beef polish boy, shrimp n chicken rice bowl and beef sliders n fries. The food is sooo fresh and seasoned to perfection. The chef Tee Dee and owner Mr. Ernie was are so kind and make sure you have all you need. The atmosphere has positive affirmations around the wall and the menu is sick. Great experience! They treat you like family when entering, greeting you with love. I highly recommend this place. Food 10 out of 10!“
