New American Restaurants near Westlake, OH

“We went for Happy Hour, yesterday on a Friday. We were seated immediately and our server was extremely nice. The appetizers came staggered and we ordered six plus mocktails. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza! Everything was pretty good. This wasn’t our first time dining here but it was the first time coming for happy hour and we will be back. The value was definitely worth it.“

“We had my mom’s 90th birthday party with 28 guests at the Westlake location this morning. Because we are regulars there, Nick the manager bent the rules a wee bit to allow us to have the back area, near the bar for our party right at opening time on a Saturday. The service by wait staff Mary and Lauren was fabulous, every one of us LOVED our food and your hospitality was off the charts! Thank you again for allowing us to have this 90th in the best of all places for our youngest family member (age one) and all the way up! Love, love, love Kitchen Social. Ps. My pimento burger and ceasar salad were ‘da bomb’!“

“Roula was an amazing bartender. She made our experience memorable. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“📍 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. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

The Managers, Servers & Staff are Always Very Professional, Friendly, Polite, Considerate and make our dining experience truly delightful. The food and portions the Chefs prepare are always consistently Generous, Delicious and Excellent! We Highly Recommend a dining experience at this location!“

“1st time I ever been to this part of Ohio. Niece was baptized , Beautiful shopping center. The dinner afterwards was served here. I didn’t like dressing they put on their salad BUT everything else was oh my gosh delicious. Best mashed potatoes I have ever had super creamy. Didn’t even need salt or pepper.
I got my peppers & asparagus without mushrooms also super delicious & love the sauce used.
Steak medium rare was 10/10. Great crisp & grill taste. Super juicy. Sauce they used was amazing.

I hardly ever finish a full plate. But almost did here. Few bites away. Full & satisfied

Also that waitress with the European accent was so very very very nice.“

“Excellent service and food was fresh and delicious 😋 Would highly recommend!“

“We had dinner at White Oaks tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I splurged on the twin lobster tails. The very generous sized tails, served with drawn butter, were perfectly cooked, fresh and wonderful. My sides of vegetables and twice baked potato were equally yummy. Dessert was a wonderful creme broulee. Service was spot on professional. One of the best meals I've had in a long time.“

“First time visiting this restaurant for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Megan, our waitress was absolutely wonderful with a smile and such great service and recommendations for things on the menu. My friend Stacey and I really enjoyed the entire experience. The food was very tasty and healthy portion of delicious fries with my Divine Smashburger . I will be talking about this place to others on the east side of Cleveland. Definitely worth the drive. Would love to get this restaurant in my publication, Shoreline Faith & Family which is family faith based to launch in the summer so that others can see what a great restaurant it is. Love promoting those that go above and beyond to keep them around for years to come!! Cheers to the team and the owner here for providing such a wonderful place to meet.“

“Solid food. Beef carpaccio was good. The dressing was really nice. Smash burger was also good. The potatoes that came with it were cooked perfectly, and the garlic ranch dressing for dipping was amazing. Ordered two wood fired pizza as well. Nice, fresh, fluffy dough. We would definitely come back“

“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!“

“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

“My boyfriend and I decided to finally try Rood on Valentine's Day after wanting to go for the past few years we've lived in Lakewood. I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best experiences and meals we have EVER had. Aside from the food, you could tell the staff really cared to ensure customers had an amazing experience. Will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“I ALWAYS make time to go to Currito whenever I fly into CLE. I'm so sad whenever I land late and they are closed LOL. Their bowls are so delicious and filling. They can be one large meal or two small meals. And they are pretty healthy considering all of the fresh vegetables you get with them. Prices also seem fair for the amount of food you are getting.“

“Exceptional. The service was 5 star. I ordered the twin tails with risotto and crème brûlée. Everything was perfectly prepared. Saturday night—great date night. We will definitely be back!“

“Great Food excellent service“

“Just had a great lunch at BJ.’s. Excellent food and our waiter, Michael, was the best!!! I recommend eating here.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough good things. I've been twice, both the eggplant parm and shrimp fratello blew me away. Prices are very reasonable, portions are great, and the service is just as memorable and outstanding as the food. Ambiance is very cozy and inviting, great for a date night or a larger dinner with family and friends.“

“We did a private party for our 50th wedding anniversary on 9/21/24. Everything was fantastic including the staff, the food and the atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. June was super helpful. We grew up in the neighborhood and this was the perfect place. Highly recommend for a private party.“

“WRD was truly a fantastic experience. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted and seated, we did get a reservation because it was Valentines day, but people next to us didn't and got seated pretty quickly on a Saturday. As soon as we were seated menus hit the table and waters were on the table before our server was there to tell us the specials. They have a happy hour everyday that they are open which included ¢0.50 wings that was fantastic. We spilt the burger and fried chicken sandwich, both were seasoned and cooked well. The vibes were casual, warm, and clean! Also, I got the Moscow Mule ($8 during happy hour) which comes with their own vodka and its was delicious. I don't drink a lot, but if I do I enjoy vodkas. I can truly say this is the best vodka I have had. I will buy a bottle when I host a party. This was our first time here and we will become regulars. We are going back in a couple weekends with family before seeing a show.

Also parking lot in the back that is big for Lakewood!!!“

“Our favorite dinner spot ..the salmon sandwich, chicken sandwich and chicken salad melt are our first choices. All their soups.. and Irish Stout is excellent too.“

The little one wanted ice cream and Jordan made us the best brownie and ice cream sundae we’ve ever had! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food and great portions. Like that they have a homemade dip for their homemade kettle chips…rather than just catsup.“

“While the meal and service was spectacular as ever, your handicapped entrance to the dining room was a blessing. We will be able to visit Pomeroy House more often. Thank you so much.“

“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.“

“My first visit there was for karaoke last week Melissa made me feel so comfortable I felt right at home what a great space I will be back“

“Food here was amazing! And I’m a very picky eater, so I don’t give outstanding feedback lightly. I absolutely loved the taste of the food. I ordered the Greek chicken meal and everything was incredibly fresh. The sauces and ingredients were perfectly paired and full of flavor.

The mango smoothie was so delicious — I honestly wish I had ordered a bigger size!

Definitely a must-visit!“
