18 Best American Restaurants in Lakewood

“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-“

“was there last Saturday had the best fish fry n pierogi dinner... excellent server and the food was not greasy at all ..I had haddock and pierogi's..the coleslaw was very fresh n tasty as well...I highly recommend the fish fry!! definitely 5 stars*“

“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.“

“Stopped in at the request of my granddaughter; she loves it there! The service was great as well as the atmosphere . But what got me was their Chicken Paprikash!! I gave it a 10 outta 10!! Going back for more today! 👍🏽💞👍🏽💋“

“The chicken noodle soup is absolutely the gold standard. The senior large menu makes it easy because the full menu is so extensive that it is difficult to make a choice.“

“Incredible meal from beginning to end, can't say enough good things. It was our second time dining at Rood and we will definitely be back. The octopus is an all time favorite and worth the trip alone, also enjoyed the mussels, I got the coffee rubbed filet and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had, finished with the chocolate pb banana gf pie - delicious!! Highly recommend to everyone I know and so many wonderful gluten free items which I greatly appreciate.“

“Great food and wonderful hospitality. The drinks are amazing“

“Had a wonderful meal with family excellent view of the Lake. We will be back“

“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. ❤️“

“We had a wonderful dinner at your beautiful restaurant this weekend. It was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last. Drinks were great!! Wings were awesome, as was the hot honey pepperoni pizza. But the standout was my incredible peach/goat cheese salad. So fresh and love that it’s organic. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening!!“

“Very nice place! The burger was delicious! The only complaint is the parking. Thankfully we went on a Tuesday afternoon so it wasn’t busy but I couldn’t imagine trying to find parking when it’s busy. Even with parking I will definitely be back. Our server was very nice :)“

“This is a great place to catch a show! Intimate venue and the acoustics were great! I definitely would see another concert there!“

“Haven’t been to it for awhile so I chose to go recently with my daughter and mom. My mom and I liked our food but sadly not so much my daughter. Her water taste weird and the sprite she ordered the syrup flavor was to strong it wasn’t a good mix. Picked at her food. When we came home I tried her fries and understood why she didn’t like them. Other than that everything else we ordered we liked. Next time I’ll get her the boneless wings to be on the safe side. We had a great waiter during our time. Even though my daughter didn’t like much of her food she liked our waiter and decided to tip him with her own allowance.“

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

“Walked in. Ordered a shot and was wrongly blamed for bad reviews online and told I wasn't welcome there. So, here's my first review: great food. Excellent really. Wings are to die for! Otherwise, it's okay. Would appreciate not being blamed for whatever issues they're having. Seems a little overly obsessive and weird, especially considering I rarely come here. Want some wings? Hit 'em up! I look forward to being blamed for whatever customer service issues they're having in the future! It takes a lot to piss off a pothead, but you guys made an enemy for sure. Please ignore the personal compliments to the Chef that I've had in person as well as copious, authentic niceties and encouraging conversations given to the bartenders and staff over the past year. I just wanted some sweet chili wings and a shot, but you guys are a little weirdly, obsessive and frankly it's offensive. Don't forget to print this review off as well and past it around to the staff as you did previously instead of just asking me and giving me the benefit of the doubt!“

“Ryan is AMAZING! he makes the best drinks and is always here and always working so hard. I'm always so happy when he's our bartender :)He works bar and kitchen which is super impressive. Get his food and drinks. You won't be “

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

“We are from Jersey and came in to just have a beer. So glad we stayed for the food! The wings are amazing, chopped cheese sandwich was outstanding. What a great flavor on the fries. I loved my Buffalo bowl. The service was outstanding!!! I highly recommend!“
