“Just putting out a positive post for Beer & Belly Sports Grille. Yesterday after a long day at Halloween events for our kids and sitting in the McDonald’s line for 20+ minutes before pulling away we decided to just grab some dinner as a family which the food as always was wonderful. From the second we stepped in the staff was amazingly accommodating. Offering coloring books for our kids, cute ghost stickers and free pumpkins in the pumpkin patch after our meal. Thankful for a restaurant and staff like this so close to home because we literally only take our kiddos to one other restaurant so we don’t disturb anyone’s meals (our kids are loud LOL) 🎃👻🩷“

“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!“

“Friendly and attentive staff. The interior and bathrooms were clean and spacious. I got the chicken sandwich and fries, which was delicious. There is a plethora of NA beer and mocktails as well as plenty of canned and draft beer. This is a great spot!“

“We were there the last day of the play off of the Cleveland Indians this year... We have never been there before and we were very impressed with this place. Steven was our server and what a wonderful and great gentleman... He answered all our questions and explained everything.. The food was so good. This is the place we will go again when we are in the area... If anybody hasn't been there they need to go there.... Thanks again Steven... Dave and Cindy Stefanski“

“I always like to eat here, win or lose. Its very affordable, fast, and the servers are super awesome. I recommend the fish and chips, and the meatloaf.. Everything Ive tried is delicious tho! I'm picky too!

Dietary restrictions: they dont mind swapping side dishes

Parking: It's inside the casino“

“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“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“We booked lanes at Forest Coty Shuffleboard for a family holiday get together / husband’s birthday. We had such an amazing time and the staff was super accommodating. Didn’t realize when we booked, It’s half price on Sundays, which was a huge bonus. The food was so good and we even brought our own deserts. For 15 people the total was approximately$22.50 pp which included food. I highly recommend them if you are looking for something fun and different to do with friends and family.“

“This jawn fire. Locals spot away from the tourist trap of downtown.“

“Nice service and good food.“

“Best food and service around!“

“Stopped at Wings for the 1st was served by Micki she was very pleasant with a great atitude made me feel welcome I enjoyed the food and drinks. Will definitely return.“

“Sunday tradition now. The burgers and wings are a must have.“

“Great place!! Colin, Julie, Bri, Terry, Rebecca and Jessie great servers- they are wonderful“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“Great drinks, attentive bar service, delicious burger (per my hubby), and fresh, hand-cut fries (not greasy and perfectly cooked). The cajun wings were crispy and well seasoned (not spicy at all), but had too much fat on them. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. The fries were my favorite.“

“Went to Dilly's for the first time today. The food was very good and the waitress Eva was exceptional. We had a special request about our food and she was very gracious and was able to do what we asked.“

“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!“

“(Last visited September 20, 2023.) Hanging out in Cleveland, OH on business and it's #WingWednesday! So I did some searching on Yelp to see who's got the best in the area! A place called Characters Bar & Grill kept coming up. So here's how things went!\n\nAtmosphere/Appearance: This place is like... at the EDGE of Cleveland's city limits. Lol. Brookpark Road or something. Once I pulled up it just felt like a nice, neighborhood spot! It does have a private parking lot, big outdoor section (where we sat) and plenty of space on the inside. It's a traditional setup. TVs everywhere, random swag and decor all throughout, plenty of high-top tables for seating and a big bar rail. The energy was lively and the music was so random. Lol. If you've been, you know what I mean.\n\nService: I can't remember the name of who took care of us, but she was funny, sweet and just made sure we had everything that we needed. \n\nFood: While here I was able to try a few wings, so let's begin. First up were the Mike's Sweet Island Heat. For the record, if you order 10 wings, you can split them into 2-5s for an extra $1.00 if you want separate flavors. Also, on the menu there are 3 "types" of sauces that they offer. The first kind are Buffalo based sauces, the 2nd are barbecue based sauces and the last is "other". Lol. Anyway, these looked amazing, were super saucy and were a decent, seemingly normal size. I got lots of good fruity notes and aromatics as I put the wing to my nose. After tasting the flavors carried through with a bold, fruity, rich flavor. There was good spice and it felt like a chipotle based spice. It was a unique flavor for sure that I hadn't tasted before. Next up was Lenny's Honey Sriracha Teriyaki which is a mouthful of a name, but the flavors showed up! It was a good teriyaki base with citrusy lemon flavors that actually made my lips pucker just a bit. These weren't spicy at all, but it was missing something, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Next up was Chipotle which I was lead to believe would be the hottest sauce on the menu based on it's placement on the menu, but I was wrong. This one did have some GOOD heat to it. The ingredients were balanced very well that created very bold, rich, hearty, chipotle flavors. I really liked this one. Next up were the Mild Buffalo. These were super saucy, juicy and had a very straightforward traditional Buffalo flavor that had some excellent flavor. The bleu cheese to go with these was a creamy, mild sauce that would cool your mouth down if you can't handle the spice. Next up was the XXX Buffalo which is actually the hottest sauce on the menu. The sauce was a bit watery which is a dead giveaway that it wouldn't be as spicy as it claims to be. It was still delicious, but the spice took a while to kick in, but it's nothing to write home about. It was like a kicked up Buffalo.\n\nValue: It's a sports bar, so the food won't be terrible expensive. I was there on Wednesday and wings were $1.00 each. Not bad at all considering how expensive I've see some. They even had $5.00 steaks this night, but I can only imagine them being a Salisbury steak or something. Lol.\n\nIn conclusion, I had a blast here. The food was great, the people are awesome, I felt welcomed and it just felt like a good place to hang out! I look forward to returning and trying some more flavors!“

“excellent bourbon selection! food also very good.“

“Had not been to Applebee's for a long time. Ate the spinach artichoke dip with tortillas as appetizer. Was delicious and cheesy on top. For dinner I ordered the Asian chicken salad. It was a nice size meal with breadstick. Excellent dressing. I will order again and highly recommend. Made with green and red cabbage, therefore full of fiber and filling.“

“The food and atmosphere was Great!!“

“volleyball tournament host. no pets allowed“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly. Awesome fresh food.“

“Great People ! Great Friday Night League 😎“

“Quiet little suburb dive bar thats been around for years and definitely shows. Large beverage selection with friendly bartenders and staff. Summertime this place really picks up with its sand volleyball courts and outside bar/patio. Great spot for fundraisers or events due to it large dining space and stage area. Killer Karaoke crowd on the weekends shows off some serious local talent. Stop by and enjoy a cold one.

Vegetarian options: Two words: French Fries

Parking: Plenty of parking especially after 6pm

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.“

“I got delivery from this place. Had never tried it before. I ordered garlic and parmesan boneless wings. These are absolutely amazing!! The pork rinds were okay and pretzels and cheese were good. I'll definitely be back for those wings!!“

“Good mix of patrons and the atmosphere is great.“

“Our server was amazing and a great person! Food was hot and tasty. Unfortunately, we went to get some dinner and use some points since we were in town for the Cleveland Clinic. They closed the restaurant near us, so we have to travel at least 90 minutes one way to dine at a Friday's anymore. Such a shame... They need to find a way to take care of long time customers like me that have a bunch of points but cannot redeem them anymore without making it a hassle...“

“Everyone was do nice help get up from the. The table walk me to door“

“Malachi was an amazing young man. He was definitely very respectful and very patient with us. I’m so proud of this young man. Thank you for your amazing service. I hope you go far in life. And make sure you follow your dreams and I hope you continue your amazing journey.“
