“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!“

“Place is fun, great food and great prices. We love it!!!!!“

“What a great place! My wife's been here several times before but this was my first chance to join her. I love the space and the concept, and the owner was super friendly and answered my many questions about the business and the beer.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that there were several beers that I would have never ordered normally, but since it was by the ounce I was able to do a lot of sampling and found that I enjoyed a couple more than I would have guessed. Great place to expand your beer palate!“

“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.“

“Burger, fish sandwich, salad, broccolini, and tots all shared with my wife tonight while seated at the bar. Special shout out to our barman Ray, who we're getting to know here. He's as affable and attentive as any in Rocky River. Cheers!“

“Just moved to the area. Today was my 2nd time there. Food is good and prices are very reasonable. Bartender Lee answered all my questions and was friendly. Portions are good (pretzel bites portion could have been a meal by itself. Highly recommend.“

“The food was good but our drinks took longer to get than our food. Cool“

“Came up with my hubs and grown son. Shot some darts, had some appetizers and watched the baseball and Ohio state games. Lots of sports on the TVs and our server, Zariah was so sweet and attentive. Food was very good. Sandwich burger and wrap hit the spot.“

“We come to rivals quiet often and service is always A+! Shannon is great bartender and always has smile on her face. She always makes sure that we had drinks and always stops by to see if we need anything else. Great atmosphere!“

“A small group of us were visiting the area to see family and we came in here on a Friday evening for just drinks before having dinner elsewhere. The first person we saw greeted us with a smile, we think it was Mike. They were totally packed and it was only 5PM! But he and the bartender who took care of us let us take the last 2 seats at the bar while two of us stood nearby. They have lots of great cocktails and beer to choose from, as well as the typicals beverages. They have an amazingly appetizing menu too! Watching the food come out made us wish we were having dinner there as the food looked and smelled amazing!

Overall, the service was excellent and so were the prices. They treated us like family and were very engaging and friendly. Highly recommend stopping in here!!“

“Characters was one of those places that make you want to take a special trip to go back. I'm from Detroit and I will absolutely return when in the Cleveland area. The food was incredible.

I ordered the wings and a polish taco, being that it was Tuesday. While they were both good, the polish taco was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It had kielbasa, grilled onion, sour cream, sauerkraut, potato filling, on a pierogi bun. The kielbasa was phenomenal. It just seemed to have layers of flavor. The pierogi bun was very interesting too. I'd never tried one but it tasted great as well. It's unfortunate that they only have that polish taco on Tuesdays.

The wings, while not the greatest I've ever tried, had some very unique sauces to offer on the side. I had the suicide sauce and the raspberry BBQ sauce along with ranch and they were quite good. The wings were nice and crispy as well

The atmosphere is a typical bar setting; bar on the left and seating on the right, that's pretty spacious. There is also a patio outside to chill and hang out at.

The waitress was very friendly as well.

Overall, the food was great; particularly, the polish taco.“

“Your average local sports bar/pub with like minded food. The food was good, but we waited forever to get it so we got cold grub. Sat outside because it was a nice night, but the service was non existent, and unfortunately there were two guys smoking cigars near us that nobody seemed to want to do anything about, lol...“

“Great place with good food.“

“Delicious Food as well as one of the best owners I’ve ever met. Drink selection is great and there’s plenty of unique delicious food that you can’t really find that casual of a setting.“

“😀Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. Everyoe treats yo ulike old friends.“

“good food and Great Service“

“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!“

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

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

“Every single time I come in here I have an awesome time. The food is usually amazing. Especially their pizza. You can never go wrong with their fresh cut fries either!! My bartender tonight was Carrie and she was a delight. She was helpful, delivered fast service, and was very attentive. 10/10 thank you pitstop for another great night!“

“This is one of my favorite local spots! Great bartenders, great food, but most of all the best manager around!! Go there and you won’t be disappointed and ask for Ruairi“

“their biker weekend and their food nice part of town“

“While visiting from Dayton, we needed a place to watch a Bengals' game so we took a chance. We made a great decision!! The 3 choice appetizer, boneless hot garlic wings, chili, and staff service was all better than expected. If we are ever in Strongsville again, we'll definitely be heading to Johnny J's!!!“

“If i could leave 7 Stars i would, best pierogies in the world paprikash is legendary“

“If you want a wide selection of beers that are all over the map this is the place for you. I've been here twice and both times I've found some crazy brews that were off the beaten track. I like the vibe but my girlfriend thought it was divey and smelled like piss so maybe leave your woman at home! “

“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.“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly. Awesome fresh food.“

“Worst service I’ve ever had at a bar“

“I was ordering the hard shell beef tacos on door dash and everytime they were outstanding..Last time I went to order it it's gone..they only have the chicken soft shell..I hope they put back on the other ones..Kelly and champ are so cool and great cook's“

“The ball boy Owen Reese was a delight to me must see him again ;)“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

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

“Classic family-owned, city lanes. Eight lanes place is nostalgic but in great shape. No overhead monitors. No fancy scoring. Brush up on scoring on paper. You've got to count the pins the remaining ftom where you stand. Staff/family and other bowlers are helpful, courteous, and as entertaining as the lanes themselves. Very affordable. Call first as it might be league night. Were going back.“

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

“Hidden GEM! This is our 8th time coming to Woodland lake lodges Thirsk and we absolutely love Harvey’s bar. The staff (especially Morgan) are the reason we keep on returning!! So so so friendly and welcoming! Also an amazing selection of drinks. Our favourite bar ❤️👏🏼 thank you“

“Food was delicious and they're super attentive. My entire family had a lunch buffet set up for after a funeral. At least 150 people were accommodated and well looked after. Their outside patio and half out bar were both so nice and spacious as well. Will definitely be coming back on some date nights!“

“All you can eat fries with your meal the first order was hot and fresh.
The second order took forever to arrive at our table and when they did finally arrive they were cold as ice.
This could be because our server was distracted constantly by talking to her coworkers they were all just standing around either talking amongst themselves or playing on their cellphones.“

“HUGE thank you to Miranda and the staff at Slim & Chubby’s for having my family this past Saturday night!! Our bartender Miranda was super attentive and kind to us all night and helped make the night so special. We have planned 2 parties here in the last few years and both have been huge successes. Highly recommend Slim & Chubby’s for large events or a casual night out!! Thank you for everything!!“
