Restaurants in Lakewood

“My favorite place in Cleveland. 😍. Plus they have my favorite burger and fries with roasted garlic 🤤🤤🤤”

“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-”

“Explored the creative cocktail menu and everything was excellent. Service was attentive.”

“What a treat! Anytime I have been to Pier W I feel spoiled. Took my mom and her 3 friends for her 89th Birthday and they all loved it!! We will definitely be back for her 90th! Thank you.”

“Harlow's pizza is a favorite in the Lakewood/Cleveland area. The Neapolitan-style pizza has the perfect dough, soft with a hit of salt. The friendly service, great tunes, and wonderful atmosphere bring me back to this beloved eatery time and time again.”

“My friend and I went there last night for my birthday. The food was amazing!! Everything we ordered was just delicious. Meals were paced out perfectly in between. All the plates were a good portion for the shareable experience. We ordered first was the tuna crostini and the lamb hummus. Both by far amazing! The hummus was the best hummus I have ever had!! (Side note. The chef came over and told us that there is this wrap on HH during the week, we will def be back for it!) Second was the zucchini plate on top of a ricotta puree. Amazing! Not sure how he cooked it, but it was crisp and delightful! Then we had this fried Idaho potato! 🥔 literally the biggest potato I have ever seen. Topped with a feta, chives and creme fraise, sided with a homemade sriracha. Just yum!!! Then finally, aged and cooked to perfection, a hangar steak. 🥩 sliced for sharing with a salad on the side. It was amazing! The chef did a great job on presentations, food, and that steak is to die for! Also didn’t mention on yummy the cocktail menu is!!! 5/5 would visit again to try more items! I might even order that hummus tonight again for takeout! 🫶🫶🫶”

“We had a party of 7 and lizzy was our waitress. She did an excellent job serving us with it only being her 3rd day on the job.”

“First time having real Indian food and I was blown away. The hot had flavor, not just heat. So many sauces and chutneys, they even have an all you can eat lunch buffet daily that I’m so coming back for. Small restaurant but what charm the atmosphere had. 18 years in business and I can see why.”

“Solid food. Beef carpaccio was good. The dressing was really nice. Smash burger was also good. The potatoes that came with it were cooked perfectly, and the garlic ranch dressing for dipping was amazing. Ordered two wood fired pizza as well. Nice, fresh, fluffy dough. We would definitely come back”

A reservation is a must
I had the salmon pistachio, it wasn't the best
Owner is pretty friendly
The table I was given(right by the bar/chemine)should be removed from the settings. Staff was constantly kicking my jacket and you feel grounded for sitting there.”

“love the food at Arepazo Latino and bar”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sacred Waters Kava Bar is absolutely magical. It’s full of creatives, good energy, and amazing handcrafted drinks. Everyone here is so friendly, and Tempest and Spencer are incredibly knowledgeable about all things kava and ethnobotanical blends. The vibe is cozy, chill, and welcoming. It's the perfect spot if you want a bar atmosphere without the negative effects of alcohol. Easy parking, great company, and seriously the best kava with cacao (I always get mine with oat milk!). It’s my favorite! If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of the best hidden gems in the CLE area. 🌿✨”

“Sooooo Good!!!! Love this place”

“Cannot get over what an amazing job KB Confections did with bringing my vision to life! Not only did it look pretty but tasted AMMAZING! 12/10 recommend! The cupcakes were just as delicious too 😍”

“Your worker Emily? I think her name was, amazing worker, so helpful even when dealing with difficult customers. I appreciate her patience. Will be coming back for more!”

“Love this place. You can really taste the difference with the organic flour — everything feels fresh and legit, not mass-produced. Their monkey bread is dangerously good… soft, sweet, and impossible to stop pulling apart. Great neighborhood bakery vibes and consistently solid bread every time I stop in.”

“FANTASTIC LIL SPOT I ORDERED AVOCADO TOAST AND CAMPFIRE CHIA ☕ DEFINITELY RECOMMEND...LUV THE VIBE”

“I have become a regular here ever since I tried this place in the summer. Their drip coffee is amazing. The food is so good too and never disappoints! My favorite thing to get is the chia pudding. The granola is incredible on it. 🤤 The presentation is great too. All their food is plated so nicely.”

“amazing!!!! the espresso is such an amazing blend, it isnt acidic at all. the goat cheese rosemary scone is divine I cannot wait to go again!!! amazing flavor options and the spring drink creations are unique and delicious! the environment of the place is gorgeous”

“Food was very good coffee is amazing first time”

“awesome Newton Latte! love the environment and the staff is so friendly!”

“We enjoyed the space and community. The venue was a bit understaffed with just one hard working bartender running food up and down stairs while also serving drinks and food to the entire rooftop, so there were some extended wait times.”

“very nice spot with good coffee, good service, and a very nice atmosphere.”

“Good food and service! Thanks Adele!”

“And great menu, fantastic staff!”

“Corn beef was phenominal!”

“Great spot! great owners. shows always sound good here and sound guys and bartenders take pride in the job they are doing and care about patrons.”

“Best spinach pie in NEO. Truly exceptional; fresh and heavy with spinach. An exceptional value at $4. The zatar bread is also excellent. I’m grateful for the plant based options.”

“I had such a great experience here! The prices are great and the staff are so welcoming and friendly ❤️ A great place to grab a drink and hang out or just watch a game.”

“Had such a great time at Birdietown! Charlie, at the front, greeted us right away and was super friendly the whole time. He kept checking in and made sure our drinks came out quickly. Great service and atmosphere. Definitely coming back!”

“Thai Thai is our go-to local restaurant, and the welcoming staff and delicious food never fail us.”

“I wish I could say I recommend this place because it was a tradition to go here at Easter time and grab chocolate crosses and bunnies. After leaving the store this weekend with such a small amount of different chocolates for 33.00 dollars I was so disappointed. I shared the photo and price with a couple friends and even they were shocked. It's really sad how extremely high a small amount is. I just wish the customer was kept in mind a little more when these prices get so hicked up. There was a second pretzel candy bar of no charge (BOGO) not pictured.”

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️”

“The flavors are always on point and the service is always friendly. The Birria Tacos and Mexican Street Corn are my favorite.”

“This was our first time ordering from tomori’s. Wings, pizza and pasta were all fantastic! We will be back.”

“I LOVE this pub. Perfect atmosphere, super friendly staff AND patrons. The draft is YUMMY 😋 A pub lover’s dream!! And the owners are pretty darn cool too😎♥️😘”

“Absolutely amazing, I love this location, every single time I go they always manage to make my sub just perfect. I'm a girl who loves extra of certain toppings and every time I ask, they understand immediately and go extra on whatever I asked for. The workers are always very kind and everything is also super fresh and crisp.”

“First time at Naomi’s and we’ll be back. We ordered the rolls, fried green tomatoes, perch, chicken and catfish with sides of collards, mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. Prices seemed high but it was because the serving sizes are huge! Definitely expect to take food home. Everything we ordered was delicious and freshly prepared. Service was great!”

“Wonderful fresh bagels made into delicious sandwiches. Husband loved the lox on a toasted everything bagel with dill/red onion schmear, daughter loved the bacon/egg/cheddar on plain toasted bagel, I loved the Veggie spicy hummus one on a toasted rosemary bagel. We went there often during our stay in Ohio City. The staff were so friendly and personable. Will return on our next visit!”

“Always a great time! Awesome atmosphere and extensive selection of beers, the variety of food trucks is certainly enticing. Something for every palate, 😋”

“first time here and i enjoyed myself, it is sooo spacious and they have games to play while enjoying a cocktail. i plan on coming back, you can’t beat a dive bar that has a list of wines!”

“I went to Sauced tonight an hour before they closed. I was served by Alyssa (blue hair) and she was literally so accommodating, nice and overall so helpful. The service was 10/10! I will be back! �”

“Their pizza is literally the best in town. I’m a big pizza lover, as you can tell by my 3 next favorite pizza restaurants… Angelo’s, Antonio’s and Donte’s in Berea. Oscar’s is just better.”

“I really enjoyed this bar. It was a great place to have a couple of beers during happy hour for quite a cheap price.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating also. They gave me a few good recommendations on good food in the area.

As for the atmosphere, it was pretty lively with a good mix of people. The building seems a little old so the bar kind of has a dive feel to it. I mean that in a good way though. There is also some cool decor and a room with a pool table. There is also a shuffleboard table.

Overall, this place was a good place for me to get some cheap brews and wind down during happy hour.”

“Ya know, the place is great fun. The owner (Rick) is a really great guy. People are fun and I'd rate the experience higher if it weren't for the idiot "manager" (Brandon). This fool discourages and turns away people because he is a racist. Yup! Idiots are still out there. Unfortunately, they let this TOTAL looser run the place because he claims to have info on people in high places. He makes the stuff up! Hand to God's, it is total truth. Have a couple cocktails with friends, when you are on your way out he will call the Lakewood police on you. Instantly ruining your life!!! I KNOW!!! Who pulls that kind of sick move?!?! BRANDON at Corky's on Detroit!!! I know it's the absolute truth! He did it to my best friend.”

“very cool place, would definitely go again”

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!”

“Nothing compares to Angelo’s”

“The GF and I stopped in for subs before a concert and they did not disappoint! The Romanburger was as amazing as we hoped. The fries were hot and crispy and went perfectly with liquid cheese.”

“They have Sunny D, that and a shot of vodka, double D.
Cheap, close, and the breaded/deep fried ravioli is great.
The Sweet Chili sauce comes out of a bottle, so do half of mine.
Cheap, neighborhood bar.
God I love Lakewood.”

“Stopped in yesterday got bread, cupcakes and a snoodle all are delicious.”

“Excellent food, drink and service. Glad that we found this hidden gem in our travels!”

“Sarah was an amazing bartender. Drinks were amazing and quick. Clearly knew what she was doing and knew the whole menu and gave recommendations that made me want to come back. Sarah made the experience for me. Will be coming back.”

“Kataplnktiko mpravo George”

“I never really understood Cleveland being know for Pierogies & corned beef. But after having pierogies from Immigrant Son Brewery I understand. The staff made me feel welcomed & attentive to servicing, adult beverages & food amazing.”

“OMG....Been here several times never disappoint, big food and good food. Love the service and the cook is wonderful. Had a Gyro wrap and fries my friend had Western omelet, Homefries and rye. Stop in and say Hi”

“My corner bar where I have a beer with my friends.”

“keeping all of you in my prayers. I can't wait to come and chill with some pretzel shots!”

“You can always tell a lot about a place from the owner and Amanda is fun and cares about her staff and patrons! The staff is always friendly the food is the best there is...affordable drinks!”

“Best Chinese food this far in Lakewood. The Mongolian beef, hunan beef, chicken lo mein, spring rolls and crab rangoon were all delicious. Beef was tender and rangoon had crab inside. Very good and will be back.”

“Really enjoyed the happy hour specials they had during the week. It's Monday through Friday from 4pm to 8pm. Also enjoyed their wings. I liked how you can split them to try new flavors. Just need to be more crispy but maybe you can ask upon a request. But overall very good place for food and service was great.”

“Great bourbon and beer selection. Max was a great bartender! Thanks for a great time!”

“Maybe I'm biased because I've never seen them lose here, but, for me, there's no better place in Lakewood to watch a Browns game. With the potluck dishes it's like family. Fuggetaboutit!
Patio is second to none also.”

“I used to bartend at a dancehall, in the ‘90s, and we also had a kitchen. Irie Jamaican Kitchen has unlocked a comfort food craving but they’re so much better. This is my new favorite takeout and they will see a lot of me.”

“We stopped in to the Burning River while on vacation for the weekend. While the coffee and tea we had were amazing it was the service that really blew us away. The barista was extremely friendly, went over the menu of specialty drinks with us and even joined us for a little conversation when he had a moment. For the extremely excellent service alone I would recommend the burning river, but let’s not forget about the coffee and tea. It was amazing.”

“So far, I’ve had the gyro, a falafel wrap, and grape leaves, all were soooo good! The friendly service just ‘ups’ my opinion, I know I’ll be back to try other eats!!”

“Delicious fresh juices, smoothies, and sandwiches 😋”

“Place is great! The comedy show last night was packed and featured a lot of talented comics. Love the patio too!”

“A group of friends and I dined at Taco Tontos, and everything was fantastic! The service was excellent, even though it was quite busy, and the food surpassed my expectations! I look forward to visiting again and trying some of the other options.”

“We ordered smoothies last week and they were less than stellar. We've never had an issue, but I left my feedback for thr store. The owner was very kind and told me to let him know when I could pick up a new order and said how sorry they were. We picked them up today and they were delish and perfect! Sometimes things happen, and they took care of this in the best way possible, which I appreciate greatly! We will be back, because the smoothies are great, employees are friendly and the owner very kind to apologize for the issue and make it right!”

“Shout out to the staff at this DQ - these kids are awesome! Always with a smile, super patient with kids and speedy making the orders. Always a pleasure, keep up the good work!”

“Great drinks and atmosphere, met friends there and had a great time!”

“I ordered is pizza back in February this year. I ordered a lot of food. Two deep dish pizzas, cheese bread. Crazy puffs. When I want to pick up the order. They gave me a large Hawaiian pizza and garlic chicken wings with my order. The service was great. Very Good Pizza.”

“I’m moving and had this as one of my last meals in Cleveland. The worker took extra care to make a memorable meal. Thank you for the extra effort and the amazing food over the years.

Pictured is the Crazy Dave.”

“My family loves Toni’s Pizza! 🍕🫶🏻”

“Best gyros ever, traditional and chicken!!!”

“The pizza is so FIREEEEEE....LOL It's gonna be greasy but it's delicious 🤤😋. They need a lil bit less cheese next time though. Dint have it spread evenly. Ohh and the prices could be better. A small cost way to much.”

“You have to try the chicken paprikash soup. It's delicious! I might suggest a dollop of sour cream to top it off.”

“Great restaurant environment with quality food!”

“Great Corned Beef Dinty Moore sandwich..Generous portion..But I did not get my bag of chips🤔But I also didn’t come back & ask for them..Pretty nice staff. Would go back”

“I love this place! The staff is really friendly and the food is good + fairly priced. On Tuesdays I go to play trivia with my friends and there’s always a decent place to sit. If you’re sober there’s also a great non alcoholic beer selection. My only (v minor) complaint is they used to have name brand pop but now it’s off brand stuff but it’s nbd. Would recommend if you’re in the area :)”

“Delicious. Haven’t had it in many years. The sauce is on point.”

“Honestly I was a bit surprised by how good it was. They gave me a lot of meat. It's a great deal if you order in, great prices! I ate a second gyro the next day with all the extra meat.”

“A colleague recommended Ohio City Burrito to me, and I was initially a bit skeptical. I typically frequent Chipotle, but on previous occasions, I experienced stomach discomfort and subsequent restroom visits after dining there. I gave in and visited. Upon entering, I was gracefully greeted by staff, and they answered all my questions regarding their menu.
I ended up getting a Barbacoa burrito and a bag of chips and sweet salsa. Everything was fresh and flavorful. They do have limited seating, which is perfectly acceptable, and I have personally never encountered any difficulty in securing a seat, particularly considering the time of day I typically visit.
Most importantly, I never experience any stomach discomfort or the need to frequent the restroom shortly after consumption. I will continue to be a devoted customer.”

“Perfect corner dive bar, especially in the summer when they open up the front. Wings and apps are good, cheap beer. Always have cool bartenders back years ago from Steve to now Ryan is awesome. Plus he looks like Deacon from Days Gone.”

“Enjoyed every bit of the cajun dry rub wings dressed w/ the mango-jalapeño sauce on the side and fries. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The Bisket and ribs are phenomenal! The Texas sausage is one of the best I've had”

“The coconut soup and coconut rice are my absolute favorite!!! I never have room for anything else lol. I just wish they were online. Take-out highly recommended, indoor seating is very limited.”

“Excellent food! Great egg rolls!! & Bone in spare ribs are the best I’ve ever had!!! ?”

“I had been very curious and interested about both ordering & dining In at Panda Wok Lakewood, and finally got the chance on a Wednesday evening to do so!
The atmosphere is so warm and artistically beautiful for such a moderately-sized place. Made it so cozy & pleasant!!
Service was excellent!! Waitress was very attentive to me and my friend's questions and dietary needs. Gave us enough time to choose as well.
I ordered the Mandarin chicken, and the plum sauce was so savory & not too sweet while the chicken was So crispy & fresh!!
Everything was cooked well & tasted great, including the carrots + broccoli and the pork fried rice!!
My friend had the chicken & shrimp egg foo Yong which she said was served at the perfect temperature, with enough shrimp and chicken in it! Sauce was generous too, and flavors well-balanced.
I Really loved the interior, with its modern and traditional art decor, and the twinkling rainbow lights on ceiling in dining room's center! Very creative!!

Perfect place for a small group gathering, and nice feature that there is a pan-Asian menu, with both sushi/sashimi, some Thai dishes with noodles and curry, and many of the traditional Chinese dishes too!!
So, go check it out if you are in the neighborhood! You will enjoy the experience!!”
