New American Restaurants near Independence, OH

“Today was another great sandwich for lunch. Breaded Pork Cutlet...amazing.“

“Very pleasant surprise. Hotel restaurants typically aren’t for me... reluctantly I gave it a try. My breakfast wrap was excellent, the evening meal was Cajun shrimp pasta... I’d get that again. This morning is sliders... another winner.“

“Hosted a Rehearsal Dinner at Summer Place and it was AMAZING! The food was awesome, the staff were very professional and courteous. George specifically was a great waiter! Everyone in attendance had a fabulous time. Well done! Highly recommend and the view…PRICELESS“

“Found this place when I searched for best places to eat in Cleveland while we were on vacation and this one had good reviews and realistic prices so we decided to try it out and we are so glad we did! It was a warm and inviting atmosphere for being mostly a bar with extra seating. You felt like you were at home and all the staff treated you like you were family or a good friend and they looked happy to be there even though it got a bit busy when we had gotten there. Service was excellent, food was delicious, my husband got the ribs and he was in love. I tried the bbq sauce as I'm really picky about bbq sauces and it was delicious! The skull shaped cornbread was so good. I had a turkey club sandwich with the chips and the French onion dip is a must have. Great experience, we will definitely be back next time we are up in Cleveland!“

“Always a go to spot for the Wife and I if we are in the area. The food is always terrific and every is very welcoming. Compliments to the Chef and house!“

“Absolutely love doing our celebrations at LockKeepers! We've celebrated our Birthdays and anniversaries here through the years and it was always such a wonderful experience each time! Jackie was the best server! She really took good care of us and made sure we were happy during and after our meals. She's absolutely the best server one can ever hope for! We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“I love Germany“

“We had the BEST time at Pier W! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Nick was absolutely amazing — his attention to detail and friendly vibe made the whole experience even more special. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. The food was phenomenal, the service was top-notch, and the entire night felt magical. Thank you for making it unforgettable!“

“Fahrenheit was a great experience. Our server was very good and attentive. Our food was excellent, but the tomato salad could use some attention, otherwise the food was delicious. Definitely a special occasion place, but also great for a good bite on a week night!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We ordered some Pantry snacks (a must do), Walleye, Fried Chicken, and Butterscotch Pudding. Every bite was perfect. We were heartbroken losing both Lola and Greenhouse Tavern due to Covid, (and we still are) but Cordelia is the kind of restaurant that can make East 4th a go-to dining spot for us again.“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous. No matter what you decide to order I promise that you won't be disappointed. We have brought friends here who are now regular customers. Come in once and you will be back!“

“Jessica was the best and we will come back for her“

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“Great service, fun employees!!“

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more“

“the best food and service every single time!! We drive from Canton just to eat here. I wish I could remember our waitresses name we had last night. She was probably the best server we have ever had!!! The sea bass was amazing!“

“We had a fantastic experience dining here today with a large party of 10, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious—served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Everyone at the table raved about their meals and commented that they would definitely be coming back. The service was excellent. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly for our large group. The menu had a great variety of options, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed, enjoyable meal. All around, a wonderful experience—we’re already looking forward to our next visit!“

“This wonderfully cozy bar/restaurant has some of the most delicious meals you could ask for! The steak Saturdays are perfect for a date a night or a night out with the family! Vince and the kitchen staff have done incredible things! Tony out front makes some amazing cocktails! Will definitely be back!“

“Reach out to us for your wine barrels“

“The best fried ice cream I’ve ever eaten by far!!! Love the ambiance… so clean and so chill!!!“

“We recently hosted my sister's engagement party at In the Weeds, and it was the perfect venue! The private room in the back offered a great atmosphere for our event—spacious and cozy, and the private entrance made it feel extra special. The convenience of free parking with lots available both in the front and back was a big bonus. The floral arrangements, which they did in-house, were absolutely gorgeous and added such a beautiful touch to the space. Elizabeth, the event coordinator, was a dream to work with—she was quick to respond to all my questions, offered wonderful suggestions, and made sure everything went smoothly. The appetizers were delicious, and the wine selection was top-notch. It was such a pleasant experience, and I can't wait to return for another event in the future! Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a special celebration.“

“The food and service were great and can’t be being on the water!“

“Excellent experience with the chef’s tasting tonight. It’s a lot of food! Shoutout to Johnathan who gave flawless service and wine pairings!“

“The best fried ice cream I’ve ever eaten by far!!! Love the ambiance… so clean and so chill!!!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“You can always judge a cocktail bar by its Sidecar. If they ask you what’s in it, just walk out. If they ask you what cocktail you’d like a sidecar with, ask for a dry martini and pray for the best, then settle the tab. If, however, they pull a frosty flask from behind the bar, place it in a flask-shaped hollow in a book labeled “Holy Book” and hand you the book and a tumbler with a single cube and a perfect slice of blood orange, then you have found the right place. This is the right place. I can honestly say that this is the best Sidecar I’ve had the pleasure to imbibe. I only wish I didn’t have work in the morning and could have sampled more of their artistry.“

“Working with Sausalito on Ninth was an absolute pleasure as a wedding planner. From crafting a personalized menu to flawlessly executing the catering logistics, they showcased professionalism and creativity. The seamless collaboration between our teams enhanced the overall wedding experience for previous couples and their guests. I highly recommend Sausalito on Ninth to any future clients looking for a catering partner that goes above and beyond to create memorable moments. I look forward to working future events with them.“

“Great service and grub. The beer list is interesting and tasty as well.“

“We stopped in today to try out this restaurant that we’ve heard so many great things about. They did not disappoint in the slightest. This was by far one of the best experiences we’ve ever encountered. The food, drinks, outstanding staff, and great customer service were all at a top tier level. We will definitely be coming back in the future!“

“We enjoyed our time here so much! The service, atmosphere, drinks, food, friendly faces ~ added to our wonderful stay in Cleveland! TY B&B team 🙌🏻“

“Paragon Social's ambiance screams grown and sexy. The food taste great, always hot and fresh. The bartenders are welcoming, and knowledgeable on how to make drinks very well. And this is a great place to have parties.“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“I really enjoy Barley House! nothing but the best service right when you walk through the door! Shout out to Amber for her amazing hospitality and great customer service! she’s very attentive and on point with the food and drinks as well! i most definitely would come back again! 🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯💯“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“The best whiskey 🥃 selection, excellent service, great atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone who looking for great experience, I had the best.“

“Great atmosphere, food and beer. Love it! Check out the food selections. Highly recommend.“

“Everything was incredible!! Starting with our wonderful server Hallie, all the way to the chef who prepared something for our daughter that wasn’t even on the menu! The food was delicious, every course. We can’t wait to go back!“

“Excellent food!“

“I haven’t been to Fredrick’s in a long time, but I am planning to come back soon. The food is always delicious and the staff have always been nice. The only reason I couldn’t give a 5 for atmosphere is although I love live music, it has often been too loud for the small space. Other than that, I’d go anytime. The Lord Jesus bless! Merry Christmas! 🙏🏽✝️“

“Excellent mid-week dinner in Tremont! Extended Happy Hour made our meal VERY affordable. Large portions let my wife and I split appetizer, salad, and entre. Really delicious Nachos - did I mention large portion :). House salad was very fresh, and good, only thing that was not 5 star. Our burger was well prepared and well served. Service was EXCELLENT - pleasant, attentive, and helpful to first time guests! Several other menu items looked appetizing. We plan to go back. PS: ping pong table in a back room looked very inviting. Also long curved granite bar in front of the restaurant looked very inviting.“

“We were standing at the host stand waiting for a while (but we did come around 2 pm). After we sat down our waitress was great. The food is pricey for what it is, but the portion sizes are good. It was very convenient in the hotel lobby though.“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“

“Just ate there Saturday afternoon. The food was great along with a great server“

“I love this place! Been going here since forever !! I love the staff !!! They make sure I’m always good !!!“

“Once again, Millcreek Grille shined with delicious food and an excellent server. Jacqueline, our server, is accommodating, helpful, and full of joy. She and Giles are our two favorite servers there. They, along with the most delicious food, keep us coming back.“

“First time stopping by today and I'm glad I did! I loved the Polish girl boxed meal-hadn't had one in years! It was delicious! 😋 Friendly service in a tiny, quaint spot! ☺“

“So many great choices here. Don’t miss this one in a million Brewery. For all the beer snobs in your life.“

“Thankfully they were open late because we needed somewhere moderately priced with decent food to take my brother out for a birthday dinner. The food was a B-, service could have definitely been better and the atmosphere was average. Drinks could improve and steaks ordered were reasonable. Would go back but more so thankful for the late hours!“

“Great service lovely bartenders and cooks“
