25 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-“

“This was my second time visiting, but this time I had my nine-year-old with me because she wanted some kind of dessert. Everything was unbelievably delicious. We got the street corn ravioli, and each of us had a slice of pie. She despises coconut, but loved the bite of my banana coconut pie that she had! Our server, Katelyn B was an absolute darling.“

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

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

“First time visiting this restaurant for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Megan, our waitress was absolutely wonderful with a smile and such great service and recommendations for things on the menu. My friend Stacey and I really enjoyed the entire experience. The food was very tasty and healthy portion of delicious fries with my Divine Smashburger . I will be talking about this place to others on the east side of Cleveland. Definitely worth the drive. Would love to get this restaurant in my publication, Shoreline Faith & Family which is family faith based to launch in the summer so that others can see what a great restaurant it is. Love promoting those that go above and beyond to keep them around for years to come!! Cheers to the team and the owner here for providing such a wonderful place to meet.“

“The perfect neighborhood bar! Great drink selection, great service, comfortable environment. Most surprising (and unlike several other similar establishments in the area) is that they offer plant-based food options, like the Impossible burger, pretzel bites, veggie spring rolls, fries, and tots that are all delicious!“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“This place is awesome! Great staff and atmosphere.“

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

“Amazing food with fresh quality ingredients!! The burnt ends were smokey, sweet, and a bit salty (not over salty!). Orchette toscana was perfectly creamy, not drowning in sauce, and the sausage was just right to complete the dish....not too spicy. The distillery burger was juicy and very flavorful. And the drinks, so so good! Read the descriptions and try what sounds good...there is something for everyone. We will definitely be back!“

“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 :)“

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

“My co-worker and I are coming in for lunch tomorrow. She says the place is great! I am leaving a 5 star 🌟 ahead of time due to the amount of laughing I did while reading some of the fantastic responses from the owners to snarky and sometimes just friggin rude reviews that were left! I LOVE this place already! 🤣“

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

“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 “

“I've had wings all over Ohio. These are up there with the best I've ever had. Will certainly be back! I've driven past so many times but decided to try them in a whim, wow am I glad I did. Buffaque is a mix of their house buffalo and bbq sauce. Had more heat than I expected, which I loved. Can't wait to come back! Booths FTW!“
