“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“Got filet meals to go. we both really enjoyed. Bar looked fun af also. Ill be back.“

“Had a super amazing meal here and was very very pleased with it.. ordered the smashburger and I don't know if it's cuz I was hungry or if there's just something that's on there that made it amazing but probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time and definitely would go back again“

“August 22nd stopped for lunch with a friend I hadn't seen since covid and was treated very rudely by the bartender who was not at all busy. This is the first time I have ever felt this way in here. Most of the bartenders are very friendly“

“Very nice casual place for drinks and food very comfortable! awesome food! Very good service Great owner who’s always looking after everything AsAll homestyle Italian food Love it!“

“Amazing food and customer service! He does gyros right.“

“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!“

“This place is sooo fun 🤩. You can pour your own beer and do something fun like different flights. This is how it works - you go up to the front desk and get a Tapsters card. Then you keep the card in the slot and put your beer. The faster you pour, the less the foam! Theres free popcorn and you can get food from Voodoo sushi next door! At the end you can drop it off in the slot boxes up front with the tip signs. The operation game is definitely missing some bones - please replace them, a lot of people like that game. The only thing we didn’t like is that you have to tip given the fact that you’re basically picking up and putting your dishes away, and doing basically everything yourself. You have to check out on the tablet upfront with the Person right there handing you the tablet. It’s a little awkward if you did not tip. Please get rid of tipping, I’m sure the people working there are salaried! Other than that, the place is fabulous! I would’ve given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the weird tipping!!“

“Ate at The Third Place while visiting my mom during Thanksgiving. Had the Sunday special, the Meatball Casserole. It was delicious with lots of cheese and sauce to dip the garlic bread in. Also had a side salad. I recommend spending the extra $2.50 and getting the salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Yum! I wish I remembered the servers name. It began with a J. She did a good job and was friendly.“

“Whistle was so friendly and accommodating! They were a great place for our little kids to run around while we waited for our food. They evenbrought us free over cream for the kids while we waited! Their self service beer was super cool and refreshing. The food was delicious!“

Place is clean my big thing about bats isthe bathroom this place is clean very important. Would take a bar date here for sure.“

“Went to Hi 5 tonight for some food and a few cocktails. It was insanely busy, Saturday night before Mother’s Day and tons going on downtown and a concert. We sat at the bar and I have to give a shout out to our bartender Sophie. She was so great, took care of us the whole time along with a million other people. She never broke a sweat and kept on smiling. Go sit at the bar and chat with Sophie, good bartender, funny and sweet! Thanks for making my Mother’s Day, my kids don’t live around me!“

“I was invited to a music gig on a Sunday several weeks ago and have stopped several times since. It's a great place and bike riding distance from my home. Each time I've met new friends and owner and bar are authentice and unique! The music presented is such a gift.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Good food great service. Friendly Had rough day and felt at home“

“I've been going to Mike's Bar & Grille in downtown Berea for a couple of years now, and every time I'm in town I make it a point to stop in. I always look forward to trying their Burger of the Month and whatever new beers they have on tap or cans. The food is consistently good. They also do a nice job rotating monthly specials. They're very pup-friendly too, which has us excited to bring our Goldens along when we make the cross-country drive in the RV this summer. Solid food, great drinks, and a welcoming neighborhood spot. Highly recommend if you're in the Berea area!“

“I've been going to City Tap since the night I turned 21 and I'm now 35 it's always been a great place to chill have fun with friends play pool, watch the games, get drinks and food I love it here. They Have The Best Hot Wings in Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!! I mean it, it's one of the things that's been drawing me back all these year's even after I stopped drinking alcohol, I introduced my Wife to the food here as well and we've never stopped going to get food from here even when we moved further away I will make a long trip just for the Wings.“

“My family has had a couple benefits there and was a great turnout, but than I had to actually order something from the menu and I have to say it was EXCELLENT, the food is great and they have an awesome menu!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and awesome service“

“Great meatballs!!! Dini was wonderful. Fantasioso server!!!! 1st trip here. We will be back.“

“Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of Riverwood Cafe, there lived six legendary characters who made every visit feel like a fairy tale. ✨

Queen Michelle ruled the land with kindness and laughter, always making everyone feel welcome the second they walked through the doors. Sir Tony brought the charm, jokes, and energy that could light up even the darkest forest nights. Julie, the woodland fairy of good vibes, somehow made every table feel like home with her warm heart and contagious smile.

Princess Sarah sprinkled joy like pixie dust everywhere she went, while Brandon, the brave knight of Riverwood, kept the kingdom running smoothly no matter how wild the tavern became. And of course, Sam — the wise wizard behind the scenes — made sure the magic never stopped flowing.

Together, they turned Riverwood Cafe into more than just a bar… it became a storybook escape where laughter echoed louder than dragons and memories were made like happily-ever-afters. Whether you came for one drink or stayed until the clock struck midnight, you always left feeling like part of the kingdom.

5 stars for the most magical crew in the land. 🏰🍻✨“

“Back, better than ever!!! New floor, new paint..looks great �“

“Friendly staff- extremely lovely people work there. Been attending this pub on and off for many years whenever I'm in town and I am never disappointed. Nice, low-key, laid-back atmosphere (in a GOOD way), digital jukebox (us lazy tipsy people can play songs right from our phones if we so wish- plus, who carries cash anymore?), decent variety of beers on tap and did I say the staff rules? They're great. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm in town.“

“Came here for lunch after shopping on Sat 6.20. My friend and I sat at the bar and Paige was our bartender. She was working bar stools with table tops and served every guest with such amazing service. All her tables left with smiles and waves like she knew every one of them personally. Her drink recommendation for the 2 of us fit us perfectly for what we wanted and our food was hot and quick which worked perfectly for us to get to our movie in time (which she said she would make it work even with all the clientell in the building and she did!)!!! She was great company and will stop up here to see her again for a good time!“

“The patio is pet friendly and great food. The staff is always kind.“
