“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“drove 3.5 hr from dayton for the food i can honestly say ill be back food was delicious true boricua food. vibe was nice good music and place was super clean. 👌 👍 gracias see ya soon“

“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.“

“My buddies & I came in over the weekend and the vibe was awesome! The bartender told us they have a new drink menu - I got the frozen pina colada and my girlfriend got an espresso martini, both were great! Awesome service, a bunch of games, definitely recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“8pm, Sept. 2025 the carryout pizza was burned, pepperoni was dried out“

“Characters Bar & Grill is mine and my husband’s go‑to spot! The food is always great and the service is just as good.

It’s one of those places you can count on every time—good food, friendly staff, and an overall great experience. We’re there regularly and will definitely keep coming back!“

“good food and Great Service“

“This is a cool bar, they have a couple pool tables and dart boards kind of tucked away upstairs. They have a touchtunes jukebox. The Bartenders are always very friendly and quick. It is a smaller place so on busy nights the parking lot fills up completely and there may not be seats available but that's great for business. I haven't had their food so I can't say anything about that. I've been there a handful of times and will be back again.“

“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!“

“cute little place with amazing food. we ordered the dip trio & i got the loaded grilled cheese. it was well worth it, the candied bacon on it was phenomenal & drool worthy.

the service was great. bartenders were very hands on.“

“Awesome food and awesome service“

“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. 🏰🍻✨“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“I got my food Togo. The guy handling my order was fast everything was correct and he did it with a smile Professionalism. I think his name was Brian. Your best employee yet. I come here alot. I seen him around but I'd rather him wait on me for now on. Keep up the outstanding work.“

“Might just be a best kept secret in Parma. Immediately when entering, I was greeted with a hello from the bartender! The drinks were good, the service was good, friendly people to talk to and engage with. It was a good night. Thank you Parma Pit Stop.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 “

“This was my first time here. Wowzers!! Yummmmy! Ribs were moist, flavorful fall off the bone delicious! My friend got the Mediterranean sampler and it was scrumptious! Jaime , our server was outstanding! On point. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! Thank you Jaime for the great service!“

“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“

“We went to celebrate my granddaughter's 21st birthday. I was going to rent the party space but decided against it because we wanted to be inside the gaming area. We arrived at 2:45 in the afternoon on Monday. It was perfect timing because there was only a handful of people there. It did take a while to get a waitress to come to us. When she did she was very polite. They had a shift change we checked out with our appetizers and drinks with the first waitress. She stated she would let the oncoming waitress know about Us. It took a very long time before someone came over to help us with more cocktails and our dinner order. The food wasn't that great this time. Some things felt cold and just not tasty.
As usual it was fun because of all the games that we played. We probably would have had more attention if I had rented the partially private room. But in the end we all had a good time and we love going to DB's with the family for fun.“

“Quiet little suburb dive bar thats been around for years and definitely shows. Large beverage selection with friendly bartenders and staff. Summertime this place really picks up with its sand volleyball courts and outside bar/patio. Great spot for fundraisers or events due to it large dining space and stage area. Killer Karaoke crowd on the weekends shows off some serious local talent. Stop by and enjoy a cold one.

Vegetarian options: Two words: French Fries

Parking: Plenty of parking especially after 6pm

Kid-friendliness: Kids can play on volleyball court and eat chicken tendies.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor joint with several entrances/exits. No stairs in sight.“

If you visit this location ask to sit in his section you will not be disappointed! I appreciate you Michael:) My family really enjoyed our time! You’re amazing!“

A special thanks to Jolena she was incredibly professional, attentive, and welcoming. Her cheerful attitude made our meal even better. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended.“
