“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 like the industrial atmosphere inside of the place. My wife and I both got walleye fish frys. They were $20 a piece and maybe I'm spoiled because I'm from the Milwaukee area, but the three midsize pieces of walleye really didn't cut it. There could have been at least one more piece. I felt like I paid $5 for fish and 15 for french fries The waitress was attentive and pleasant.“

“We did a private party for our 50th wedding anniversary on 9/21/24. Everything was fantastic including the staff, the food and the atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

“Chef Anthony and the staff were amazing for my wife’s birthday. We had communicated up to the event and were able to narrow down a specific menu tailored for my wife and our party. Her 50th birthday party was absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about the food, the service and most of all Chef Anthony. We couldn’t have picked a better place to hold her party. From the menu all the way down to the little details everything was perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. TCP“

“So happy that we finally went here!! We’ve been in the neighborhood for a bit now and just haven’t ventured out but we’re looking for a comfortable place and we certainly found it here.

Looking forward to many more 😁 Andrea was a rock star server!!“

“Dave the manager is top notch. Great attitude and friendly!“

“SO DELICIOUS 😋 WE LOVE WINKING LIZARD !!!!“

“Such an adorable old fashioned place! We visited for lunch on a Sunday while visiting the area. Lots of options on the menu, food wasn't that great ; probably a step up from bar food, was disappointed. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Overall atmosphere was great. Sidenote: Ranch is nasty.“

“1st time here at Cleats. I stop in for dinner with my wife, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, on Friday around 4pm. We seated ourselves. It's a nice medium size sports bar. We chose to sit inside rather than outside. However, I did feel it was a bit dark inside. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Friday's special was an all you can eat fish dinner. It was very good but there were no lemon slices for the fish. The other three had the chicken tenders. It was a little strange to me that you have to pay extra for dipping sauce (plus the waitress never told us about this charge). That being said, the food was delicious 😋 we topped off the dinner with a blood orange IPA“

“Food here was amazing! And I’m a very picky eater, so I don’t give outstanding feedback lightly. I absolutely loved the taste of the food. I ordered the Greek chicken meal and everything was incredibly fresh. The sauces and ingredients were perfectly paired and full of flavor.

The mango smoothie was so delicious — I honestly wish I had ordered a bigger size!

Definitely a must-visit!“

“great friendly service. great fresh food“

“We had our team dinner at Winking Lizard. We walked in with a group of 40 people. Our wait time for tables was less than 20 minutes. The two servers we had were awesome. The food came out hot and pretty quick. Shout out to the manager working today, she was on it!“

“Held our daughter’s college grad party in the Bocce Room. We had a total of 32 people. Everything was wonderful! Megan, the Director of Sales, was very helpful picking out the menu and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Our server, Nate, was fabulous. He kept checking in with us and was extremely helpful with all the little details. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was.“

“Celebrated a birthday there with seven people. The food was prepared perfectly. The table side preparation of the Caesar salad added elegance. Our server was the most attentive and gracious that I have ever had anywhere. I can’t say enough about the wonderful staff there. Thank you for an evening to remember.“

“We love the boneyard! Downside it’s very pricey and has gone up over the years. We don’t go as much as we use to, and would like to. Great atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“This place really does have it all. My husband and I have been coming here for years, and we also got married here!!! Always great food, always great service. The patio is stunning in all seasons. And now they're doing concerts and fun activities like yoga and mini golf for the kids! It really warms my heart to see all the positive upgrades they're making. Blue Heron, you have fans for life. Keep it up!“

“Waitress Gail was very friendly and food was excellent.“

“I would like to thank the manager Mike and his fantastic staff for the great service and food today! We had a group of at least 25 and never have I ever had such fast service hot and fresh anywhere! Hats off the all the servers who accommodated our big Towslee family after the clap out with a smile!“

“Great food and large portions.“

“Update: I went for a second time and realized a place shouldn’t be judged by one experience. No mistakes on the order this time, food was still good . Good but not great .

I eat a decent amount of fast food and I was surprised myself that I hadn’t tried Culver’s. So I made the drive to this location about 15 minutes from me . I heard good things about the onion rings and I had ordered a large one but of course my first order and it was missing. I don’t really mind getting a few orders wrong when I go go to a place lot of times but first time kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

Food was decent . Chicken sandwich doesn’t compare to Chick Fil A at all.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.“

“Great food and service. Everyone is very friendly and helpful“

“My family and I do not eat fast food often, but this is without a doubt, our exception, and the best around! The service is second to none - all of their workers are always incredibly kind and considerate, especially with my two young boys!“

“The food is good eat there a lot never had anything bad it’s the closest food to being home made The staff is very good Our server was Kelly and she was excellent and very patient and very professional I recommend her highly I will be coming back“

“We came in on a Thursday night as a large family, as we were all in town for a family event… there were about 20 of us. Their seating rules weren’t very clear as we talked to a few different people and seemed to get a slightly different story each time. It wasn’t a very big deal though, we hung out in the bar area for about an hour and then got a couple of tables hear each other where we all sat.

The menu is really nice, loaded with so many appetizing things! I wanted to start with a side salad and ordered that, but unfortunately it never came. I did get their spicy French dip, which was a special and it was decent. The onion rings were amazing, so were their baked beans. Service was decent for a group our size.

Overall, it was a decent visit.“

“​Update (March 2026):
​Checked out the new Winter/Spring seasonal menu. We tried the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash and the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread, both of which were excellent and worth trying before the menu rotates again. We also had the BLT Benedict, which remains a solid, reliable choice.

​Service was friendly and efficient, and it is clear that the quality here is holding up well over time. Whether you’re after a classic breakfast or a fresh seasonal lunch, this location remains a reliable local staple—just be sure to use the app to join the waitlist ahead of time to skip the line.

Original Review:
We have visited this location for breakfast multiple times now, and it has consistently been a good experience. The food tastes always fresh, and they offer a great variety of traditional and seasonal breakfast and brunch classics, as well as more innovative, healthy options.

If you are planning a visit, I highly recommend using their website or mobile app to get in line before you actually arrive at the restaurant. It’s a very popular spot, especially on weekends, and joining the digital waitlist saves a significant amount of time waiting outside.

Overall, between the quality of the food and the variety of the menu, the restaurant is an excellent local option for breakfast or brunch.“

“Thank you for providing outstanding customer service and food for our VFW 9520 WW2 Veterans Birthday Party. Dan was awesome in helping our Auxiliary service the attendees with food. The food was excellent. Much appreciation for all you do for our Veterans Meg Patrick, VFW 9520 Auxiliary President“

“Small space, but its worth the wait if there is one! The food is great! The bar owner does the bartending and he just loves his customers. If you're not really sure where to go to eat. This is it. Had the French onion soup and a burger. The soup was super good. Had just a touch of sweetness and I've never tasted anything like it!“

“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 had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the interior design was excellent and the service was very fast and warm. This is a great place for families , dates and girls night out ! Very elegant yet laid back.“

“Knowledgeable and pleasant staff. Our party had everything from lobster to scallops and appetizer dishes as well. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We ordered some specialty drinks and were delighted with taste and presentation. Everything and everyone made our evening special, calm, cozy and inviting.“

“Very good Definitely will come back“

“AMAZING! It is incredible to have a restaurant option where I don’t have to examine the menu to come up with a gluten free option. The best part - you would never know it’s gluten free because it’s THAT good. I am a self proclaimed French fry connoisseur and these are the best fries I’ve had gluten free or not! I will be back (probably way too often.)“

“Our family of 7 enjoyed Easter Brunch at the Brecksville location. Though we were charged incorrectly (they charged my 13 years as adults for the buffet), our server, Maggie was super attentive and friendly. The buffet spread was fantastic and it included something for everyone in our party.“

“Inn Cahoots is a wonderful place with great food, amazing staff, and comfortable environment. I come there often with my dad and it is always a wonderful time. The staff is very friendly and kind and treat customers with respect and care. Great. place!“
