Visited The Oak Barrel for dinner recently. When we arrived, it was quiet and empty, which was…read moreideal. When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more. Everyone enjoyed their meals and with great service, we agreed that this could be a place we visit when we're in the area. Great stuff!

I went to this location with coworkers for our Employee Appreciation Dinner and I had the wings…read more. I really did like them. They're delicious. Also, there is a slight "kick" but definitely bearable. The calamari was good as well. We sat on the patio and regretfully, I didn't go inside (too full) but overall, I'm willing to visit again as I stay relatively close.

Winking Lizard is a chain in the Ohio area. We had a late lunch/early dinner at the one in…read moreIndependence. It's located at the top of this curvy road surrounded by a number of hotels. When you enter, you line up and then get seated by a host. Our waitress was nice and kept refilling our drinks. The food there was really good. This is what we ordered and shared between the two of us: -- Onion Ring Basket (our "app") -- Black Bean Burger with Fries -- Large Veggie Pizza My husband and I had read an article from one of the Ohio tourist brochures we picked up at a travel plaza about "Cleveland Pizza." So we figured why not give it a try at the Winking Lizard. It's was really good. My husband even said he liked it better than Chicago-style. We would definitely come back again.

When we arrived, we were with somebody in a wheelchair and they had the ramp blocked for handicap which is why I gave 4 stars. The staff was nice and tried to accommodate us. We made it work. The place was packed. The food was good had good flavor. The bread that comes with pasta tasted like burnt toast. The server was new but he did a great job and kept checking on us making sure our drinks were full. They had a large screen with basketball ball game on and good vibe. The bartender told us they are here just for a few more months then moving or closing. But if you have a chance check it out you should.

Do you want to try a hidden gem in Cleveland? Make your way to the East 49Th St., Tavern. Situated…read moreright off I 77 behind the BP station in Newburgh Heights. I watched this awful looking dive bar transition from an eye sore in the neighborhood, to thriving bar, restaurant and small local band venue over the past 20 years. John & his wife have succeeded in turning the local eye sore into a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating serving up some amazing food. Their burgers are out of this world! The chicken wings can hold their own over many of the people that claim to fame their own. The gyro's and other Greek dishes give a real taste of the other side of the world! I'm not a drinker, but they do have a full bar both inside and outside. They offer catering and delivery for your events! The outside venue has local bands play on certain nights and has a covered, heated patio with a cast-iron stove/fireplace. The place is always clean and the service is beyond reproach! The variety of whiskeys is unparallel to any other bar we've been in Cleveland! If you're visiting from out of town and you want a quick bite to eat that satisfies the palette, make sure you stop in and say hello! A perfect meeting place before or during a Guardians, Browns or Cavs game!

Update. Been a bit since we've eaten here. Still the same. Met some friends here on a Tuesday…read more Wasn't crowded. The server was very nice and accommodating. We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.

The loaded nacho's are good. They have some spice with the cheese and jalapeños. But you get a decent portion for $5.75. Tacos were good. They are a flour tortilla that's is fried for hard taco. They also have $1 dogs during Gaurdians games. The basic beers on tap like bud light. Basic bar with basic liqueurs. I'd try something else next time. The guy who was serving us was nice. He had all the tables so he was running around. When the Gaurds game started the place filled up. It was also trivia night. We played 1 round and won. It was fun. Bottom line is a typical bar menu. Burgers, wraps, wings and every day is a special. They have basic bar drinks nothing fancy. Bunch of TV to watch the games. Seems like an OK Dads bar. Seems like a normal regular crowd that always goes.
