13 Best American Restaurants in Rocky River

“I stopped in over the summer with my sister for lunch and we were so glad we did, food was absolutely amazing! I told my boyfriend after we have to go there, it is so good! Took him yesterday for his birthday, we are both still talking about it today. He told me he told multiple people at work about it and has been thinking about your cannolis all day and I have been too, best I've ever had. Ever single thing from cocktails to dessert to atmosphere is absolutely amazing, I, we cannot brag about you guys enough! Classy cocktail menu, the char sour and classic old fashioned are a must try. You're selection of bourbon for bourbon lovers is top notch too! Last the food, beet salad, lobster rolls, cassoulet pie are to die for 🤌 have to talk about the cannolis again, one pistachio and one chocolate chip, don't snooze on those if you go! My biggest compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back.“

“Warm, Friendly local establishment with fantastic staff and service!“

“Sarah was our server, we had a large group, 15 people, she managed it perfectly and was absolutely delightful to work with. As always the food was perfect, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the staff, top notch. Thank You for a great morning!!“

“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.“

“I Celebrate my 60th Birthday at Salmon Dave’s (3/15).For my entrée had the Pecan crusted Grouper dinner.. It was great. The atmosphere was nice and our waitress (Bird) was the best.. We will return.“

“Always get to go here. Love the broccoli. It’s the best Lobster Bique I have ever had.“

“Herb’s Tavern is a true Cleveland classic—the kind of spot that never goes out of style. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with that old‑school neighborhood feel where everyone feels like family. The staff are friendly, attentive, and quick, making every visit smooth and enjoyable.“

“Came here for the first time last night.
Was absolutely NOT disappointed.
Had the BBQ chicken pizza and it was so delicious....the only thing I would change would be the onion slices be a wee bit thicker.
This will be my new place whenever I'm in the area!“

“We had Mario cater our small wedding last week. He went above and beyond to make the our guests happy with his delicious food! All of our guests raved about the dinner provided for them. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Mario gave us exactly what we asked for and elevated his food with the love he has for cooking. I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤“

“Great space, friendly staff and great food.“

“Great venue with nice outdoor dining area. Small but delicious menu. Very good service by experienced wait staff. It's a little more expensive than comparable venues, but we still choose to go here when in the area.“

“Paying $80 for a half ham makes me 😒🤮but man it’s worth it“

“We had been to a few other Burntwood Taverns but had never been to the Rocky River location. It is a great location! Sam was very helpful in giving us an overview of the dinners we were considering having and providing us great service. The Potstickers and the Fish Chips were our favorites. We also had the Sausage Ala Vodka but we would have liked more sauce and the sausage to be a bit less grilled (we did not bring it up during dinner to Sam) but it was a nice left over snack the next day. The cocktails were fantastic. The desserts though I have to admit need an upgrade. We had the Apple Crostada and Chocolate Truffle Cake to go. The Apple Crostada had no crust it was just apples in syrup and the Chocolate Truffle Cake was a bit better. We'll be back for the Fish and Chips and Potstickers!!!“
