“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!“

“This place is sooo fun 🤩. You can pour your own beer and do something fun like different flights. This is how it works - you go up to the front desk and get a Tapsters card. Then you keep the card in the slot and put your beer. The faster you pour, the less the foam! Theres free popcorn and you can get food from Voodoo sushi next door! At the end you can drop it off in the slot boxes up front with the tip signs. The operation game is definitely missing some bones - please replace them, a lot of people like that game. The only thing we didn’t like is that you have to tip given the fact that you’re basically picking up and putting your dishes away, and doing basically everything yourself. You have to check out on the tablet upfront with the Person right there handing you the tablet. It’s a little awkward if you did not tip. Please get rid of tipping, I’m sure the people working there are salaried! Other than that, the place is fabulous! I would’ve given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the weird tipping!!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“This is a cool bar, they have a couple pool tables and dart boards kind of tucked away upstairs. They have a touchtunes jukebox. The Bartenders are always very friendly and quick. It is a smaller place so on busy nights the parking lot fills up completely and there may not be seats available but that's great for business. I haven't had their food so I can't say anything about that. I've been there a handful of times and will be back again.“

“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!“

He made sure that our food came out correctly and kept refilling our drinks! He was helping out everywhere, running food, behind the bar, seating tables. Great manager and great atmosphere! We will definitely be coming back! Food was amazing! Excellent manager and customer service! Mariah was an excellent bartender as well! She was very nice and very sweet and she made sure we were well taken care of as well!“

“Stopped in for brunch Sunday having never been there. This place was so cool. The bartender (Katie) was the only one working and she juggled multiple customers and demands amazingly! The food was fantastic, like so much better than I expected from a bar names “wine dive.” Portions were huge, prices were more than reasonable and the banana bread desert - wow!

Thanks for a great brunch. We can’t wait to visit again!“

“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. 🏰🍻✨“

“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.“

“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.“

“Applebee’s in Southpark is a convenient place to stop for a meal, especially if you are shopping at the nearby mall or going to Cinemark. The restaurant was clean and comfortable during our visit, and everything seemed well maintained.

Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided very good service throughout the meal. We were checked on regularly without feeling rushed, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The menu also has plenty of choices, so it works well whether you want a full meal, appetizers, burgers, or something lighter.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. Good service, a clean restaurant, and a convenient location make this Applebee’s a nice option before or after a movie or a day of shopping. Would definitely return.“

Kid-friendliness: Kids can play on volleyball court and eat chicken tendies.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor joint with several entrances/exits. No stairs in sight.“
