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

“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 :)“

“Food was AMAZING we both got a burger and it was super delicious but service was absolutely horrible it took 30min just to get our order taken and once our food was dropped off we were never checked on. Ill be back but next time we will sit at bar or get togo.“

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

“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!“

“Authentic Greek food with a laid back corner bar feel!“

“A really nice neighborhood bar. It has the feel of a working man's bar. It's an atmosphere that I enjoy. The food I have tried is excellent with large portions. I had the best BLT of my life here. Usually I get the wings which far surpass Buffulo Wild Wings. The staff is friendly and very attentive. It is an out of the way place, but not far off the beaten path. I highly recommend.“

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

“The food is fantastic and the service is great 😊“

“I've just started going over the last month, and...The regulars have been amazing. Ive dealt with Michelle and Ivy, and they've both been beyond welcoming and awesome. Honestly...Its been nice to find an affordable, local bar, to just go into and not have to worry about anything negative ruining the mood. If the Daze sauce is as amazing as it was under the original owners, I have to assume nothing but the best for this itteration.“

“Stopped in for the Saturday steak special was not disappointed. The steaks were delicious sides are huge you could swap the baked potato for anything, you get a side salad too, we also had cheese curds. Service was good. It was packed the bar is a bit tight but worth the wait.“

“Our meal was great! Kid-friendly. Great service! Comfortable local restaurant that was moderately busy, but not packed and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Trivia night. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Rice bowl with chicken, boneless wings, burger, and turkey Rachel sandwich. Ryan brought out our apps and kept checking on us. We wouldn’t hesitate to return when we’re in the area!“

“📍 Moosehead Tavern – Westlake, OH 📸 @mooseheadsaloonwestlake This place is all charm and chill vibes. It’s cozy inside with a cool little patio that makes it feel like your neighborhood hangout—but with better food. Stopped in for a quick lunch today and lucked out—half-off ribs was on deck, so you know I had to jump on that. 🍖 Ribs – 7.8/10 Fall-off-the-bone tender with a flavorful sauce that hit the spot. Not fancy, just solid and satisfying BBQ at a great deal. 🍟 Fries – A mountain. Literally. They gave me what felt like 4 pounds of crispy golden fries—no complaints there. 🍅 Ketchup – Unexpected MVP Not sure if it's house-made or some secret blend, but the ketchup was different... and honestly? Delicious. It added something extra to every bite. Whether you’re out for a laid-back meal or a quick bite on a deal day, Moosehead Tavern delivers. Check it out if you’re in the Westlake area! 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time.

“Our cousins celebrated being cousins last night and Claire was our server. She was awesome as there was 6 of us and she immediately connected with what/when we were ready to order and made suggestions when we asked. It was getting quite crowded with the table next to us but she never delayed in serving us. She deserves a salute!!“

“(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!“

“Fantastic Hawaiian Pizza“

“Favorite bar in Cleveland. The staff is elite and the vibes…immaculate. Best trivia, best food—yayyyyyy.“

“A Great Place with Great Food“

“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.“

“good atmosphere good vibes“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“Best pizza ever! Food is way better than “bar quality” high quality ingredients, and delicious recipes. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good layout with lots of TVs. 10/10“
