Another satisfied visit at Bar Simon! This time they surprisingly had mint so a strawberry lemonade mojito it was! Yay! Service is always exceptional here and they never complain we camp out here for an hour or so and work. Sit yourself makes it even faster to find a corner table or electrical plug close by. We always stop here when traveling through Cleveland. read more

I think the establishment suffers from overwhelming expectations. We were excited to visit Michael Symon restaurants while in Cleveland, but unfortunately this is just a basic airport eatery. The food wasn't bad, the restaurant was clean and the servers were pleasant. If I went in with airport food expectations, I would have been fine. It works if you are looking for bite during a layover, just not iron chef material. read more

I had to try a TV chef's restaurant that I passed by in my travels. It gets docked one star because of the price but that's to be expected at an airport. The larger review is for the smash burger I had. I don't think there was anything smashed about it because it looked huge. If you're looking for "the burger" of burgers, goo-wie cheese, greasy patties (2), soft bun, and tangy sauce, this is it. I'm sure it will max your caloric intake for the day. I skipped the fries for that reason. read more

12/31/21 -- a quick mileage run to solidify United status for 2022 brought us on a successful EWR-CLE same-day round trip adventure. Didn't even leave the airport. In the more or less 120 minutes we had in CLE we were determined to get as good of a lunch as possible, so Bar Symon was already our intended destination. The active runway view was a favorite, the selection of beer on tap was notable, and we really did enjoy the food. We started with the wings ("mild" was recommended simply because I don't think there was a hotter option (or it was not presented to us)) and ended up being very flavorful. Loved that super chunky bleu cheese. For lunch we had one chicken sandwich and one Smoked Turkey Rachel -- the Rachel being the favorite by a long shot. The fries were hot and salty and everything paired well with cold beer. The one mixed drink we did get was a little sweet so if that's not your vibe I'd say keep it simple, or stick to beer. The kicker? Bar Symon participates in Priority Pass, so we got $56 off the check just for going to a place we were going to go anyways. Next time we find ourselves in CLE, we'll be back. read more

Had a couple hours to kill before my flight going back home to Phoenix so I decided hit this place up since it was almost dinner time. Stood at the entrance for a couple minutes before one of the servers sat me down in the corner. Ordered the Sweet Sriracha Wings and Grilled Chicken Sandwich. The Sweet Sriracha Wings($15.99) were surprisingly very good for airport food. The 8 pieces I got were a perfect mixture of sweet and spicy. I don't know why more restaurants that serve wings don't have this sauce as an option. It's basically just honey and sriracha. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich($13.99) was super good! What made this sandwich really stand out was the sourdough bread they had it on. It was buttered and grilled to a crispy perfection! Every bite I was savoring and oh, the chicken was not so bad either. Service was a bit slow. My server checked on me only a couple times. I needed a refill on my water and had to wait awhile before it got done. Lastly, getting the check took some time as well. Overall, I was originally planning on just eating half the wings and half the sandwich thinking that it would fill me up but because the taste was so good I ended up killing all of it! If I am ever in this Cleveland airport ever again and have enough time I am definitely getting the same again! You just gotta deal with the slow service. Yelp 2023 Review #3 896 overall read more

BIG portions. Decent airport food! I was pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and kind. If you sit by the rails that line the restaurant there are outlets on the rails so you can charge your devices. Super convenient. I split the kale caesar salad and the maple bacon wings. Both were enjoyable! Kale didn't taste bitter and the dressing was tasty. Wings were crunchy and the dry rub was very good. Almost a "sugary" coating, but in a good way. All of the dishes that I saw looked pretty good. A good location for a sit down meal at an airport. read more

I've been to this location a few times. Considering it is an airport restaurant....good choice. The first time I ate here they had just announced a new limited time special and it was the Reuben sandwich. I got that with the parmesan fries. It was absolutely outstanding! Perfectly cooked, fries were excellent, sandwich was perfectly toasted and inside was melty cheesy goodness. I would rate the place a 5+ stars based on that visit. I was so excited when I was back 6 weeks later that I went in and got the same thing and it was not toasted well, the cheese was not melted and the ratios of the sandwich were off. I would have given the restaurant a 2 out of 5 for that. Next time they no longer had the reuben....bummer. So I got a bacon smashburger. It was good....the parmesan rosemary fries always hit. I'd say average is about 3.75 stars. Going there again tonight so I'll leave an update. read more

I kept things simple and ordered the cheeseburger and fries with a drink of sarsaparilla and a wonderful chocolate dessert. The burger and bun were very tasty, the fries were nice and crisp, and the dessert was wonderful.

For an airport restaurant it is pretty good. I got the wings and I liked them a lot. Seems like everyone was enjoying the burgers as well. It's about $15 per plate for whatever you get. The drinks were really expensive, the mule was $16. It was very smart to be part of the priority pass. I will eat here every time just for that reason. The one thing that is annoying is the seating, it's really tight, even for an airport restaurant. I feel like they need to expand a bit. It's worth it, get the wings, fun stuff before a flight. read more

Okay cute little sit down place to chill while waiting for your flight! They have burgers, sandwiches, a couple types of salad, and some beer and cocktails too. The most expensive salad is a Cobb salad for $17 but they have a couple cheaper salad options as well. The sandwiches here are fairly reasonable but also kind of large! If we could do it again can I would've split a sandwich between both of us! Also, the burgers and sandwiches don't come with French fries, so those are extra, but they're pretty dang good. You get a ton of French fries so you can definitely split an order of them between 2-3 people. The servers are decent and organized as well and the tables are pretty clean. Servers are wearing masks intermittently and tables are fairly clean! read more

I came in here upon 2 days of travel delays that snowmagedon caused the northeast. So I came in for 2 meals over 2 days, breakfast and dinner. And I also must preface saying my meals were free with priority pass. ($28 off your meal per person) Breakfast Service here is definitely a bit slow, but I got an orange juice and tried to order the pulled pork burrito. I was informed they were out of tortillas, but would gladly put it in on a challah roll for me like they did their burgers. The pork was a hair on the dry side, but tasted really awesome The egg portion was huge and was also perfectly cooked, I hate it when restaurants overcook the eggs so that they were tough. The roll was really soft on the inside with a nice texture. It came with a side of home fries which were just ok, hard to mess up home fries. Left the waitress tip since it is not included with priority pass and then resumed waiting for a flight home Dinner When I came in for dinner, it was REALLY busy but managed to grab a seat at the bar. I ordered a Lola Burger and Poutine Fries. Now this probably wasn't the best idea since the fries portion was HUGE and both things involved zero vegetables, but I digress. The burger was cooked perfectly medium like I ordered it and was really juicy. The egg on top gave it a really creamy texture when you bit in and the yoke ran everywhere. Which delicious, it was really messy. The pickled onions gave it a little crunch and some acidity. And then there was bacon, how can you not love bacon on a burger. The poutine fries were just as good as the poutine I've eaten in Montreal and quebec. Fries were really crispy and the toppings were really nice. Just a tad salty overall for my taste. Definitely worth stopping in here for a meal...especially since its (nearly) free! read more

I was flying out on a weekend afternoon and had a bit less than an hour before my flight. I got their burger with fries. Service was prompt and friendly. My burger was also cooked just right. The fries had a good texture, but also had a rather unique/odd flavor (at first I thought ginger, but rosemary would probably make more sense...). It wasn't bad - just not my cup of tea. My only gripe is that we were never informed that fries were an extra cost. We were only casually asked "do you want fries with that" as if it were a default side. Luckily, I had priority pass, so it really didn't matter. Other than that, Bar Symon is a solid place to come for airport food. Wouldn't mind coming again. read more

This was a quick stop before boarding the plane and only because this place has just been added to the list of Priority Pass restaurants where one can eat for free (if you have the credit card that allows you to belong this exclusive club for $450 a year) The Chickpeas Salad was really good, the vegetables were fresh, crunchy and the combination with chickpeas made it a great choice. Although I felt that the salad wouldn't be filling enough and went and ordered a side order of poutine, I must admit that the salad is more than enough for a person of my size (And I can eat a double quarter pounder with fries and dessert!) The poutine is a Midwest version, not the Canadian version. The nice thing about this dish is the addition of gravy on top of the cheese curds. Really really good, like anything that you add gravy to. The waitress suggested a local beer, I don't remember the name but it was very hoppy and wheaty and very delicious. Service was EXCELLENT, with a huge smile, great recommendations and very quickly, so definitely will visit again next time we're in the airport. read more

I've been hearing about the "Aviator" for a long time and for one reason or another just never got…read morethere. Well we finally made it tonight. It is not what I expected. The facility is far bigger than I thought it would be. They have a central restaurant with multiple party centers on either side. It's a really BIG facility. New, modern, and quite attractive. With plenty of convenient parking. The wall of the restaurant that faces Cleveland Hopkins Airport is all glass. It affords you quite an impressive view of the airport and the planes landing. The staff we met was pleasant and efficient. Our server, Mina, did an excellent job all night. If there was a weak point, it would be the food. It was not bad (I'm trying to be kind); it was just uninspired, limited, and not really well prepared. Because they do not offer bread for the table our only option was to order the "Soft Pretzel". It arrived badly overcooked, crunchy not soft, and even boardering on burnt. The charcuterie board was OK, but uninspired. I ordered the "Lemon Chicken" which was a full half chicken in a reasonably good sauce. But the meat was dry and it came only with brussel sprouts (yuk!). My wife had the "Walleye" which she simply said was "okay"... oh well. Our guests weren't any more impressed than we were. I will say our coffee and "Pot de Creme" were very good... thank goodness. All in all, our overall experience was "meh"... just "meh". Sorry - really probably should be 3.5

Celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary called for something simple, yet memorable--and The…read moreAviator delivered exactly that. We dropped in for Happy Hour, looking for cocktails and a few bites, and were immediately struck by the well-appointed space. The runway views at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport added an unexpected layer of entertainment--watching planes take off and land while toasting 14 years of marital bliss felt like the perfect backdrop. We started strong with a French 75 and an Old Fashioned--both expertly crafted, but that Old Fashioned? Smooth, balanced, and memorable enough to set the tone for the entire evening. Wednesday happens to be Wing Day ($2 whole wings), and we took full advantage. We sampled Buffalo, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and the undeniable star of the show: Garlic Parmesan. Each had its own personality, but that Garlic Parmesan was simply elite. Service was impeccable--Emily was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our experience flowed as effortlessly as the cocktails. Speaking of which, round two brought a Cosmo alongside a repeat of that Old Fashioned...because when you find the right note, you stay in that key. For food, we shared the French Dip Baguette--shaved prime rib, provolone, horseradish aioli, and au jus done right--and paired it with the Mega Crunch Fries, elevated with sea salt, rosemary, and a light truffle oil drizzle. Simple menu items, executed with intention. We closed the evening the same way we began--together, with one final round of Old Fashioneds. A Happy Hour well spent. A celebration well honored. A 14-year journey still taking off.

Fat Head's Brewery

We started with the Frickles, crispy pickle chips served with honey mustard and sriracha 1000 island dressing. The sriracha 1000 island is so good that we always ask for an extra side to dip our fries and chips in. I ordered a house salad with the Bumbleberry Poppy Seed dressing, which was fresh and flavorful. My youngest son stuck with his usual favorite, the Smoked Brisket Poutine, which never disappoints. My husband ordered the June special, the 5-OH Burger. This massive burger features an 8-ounce patty topped with ghost pepper cheese, Hawaiian BBQ candied jalapeños, bacon, onion straws, a grilled pineapple ring, and a cream cheese jalapeño popper. The flavor combination was outstanding, and the spice had a delayed kick that sneaks up on you a few seconds after each bite. My oldest son went with the BBQ Burger, loaded with smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, house bacon, onion straws, pickles, and horsey sauce. Another excellent choice. To wash it all down, my husband enjoyed two beers: the Hazy Headhunter and Hop Thunder from Down Under, both of which he really liked. The food is consistently great, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. Today we sat outdoors on the large patio. After all these years, Fat Head's continues to be one of our family's favorite places to eat. Highly recommended!

They still had the membrane attached and they needed to cook longer. I've had many meals at Teamz and this was the only time I've complained.

However the food! Double yuk!!! I ordered a gyro with lamb and my wife ordered the gyro with chicken. First of the "lamb" was not lamb it was the typical blend of beef and lamb and only a few pieces! Both of our pitas were very hard they seemed to have been sitting around too long. There was hardly any sauce If it were not for the server I would have given this place one star. The gyros didn't deserve any stars. Strange that Teamz features an entire page of Mediteranian food. If this simplest of Meditarian food is this awful one must question how bad the other selections must be. Sorry for this rant as most of my posts on Yelp are complimentary.

We shared the loco moski, paprikash sandwich, and a side of bacon wrapped tots (good option if you just want 2 and not the full appetizer). While the bacon wrapped tots are famous from Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, I actually liked the loco moski and paprikash sandwich more. The loco moski is a fun combination between a loco moco but with pierogi, and I like that the peppered gravy wasn't too rich. The paprikash sandwich was also a great combo of chicken, sausage, peppers, cheese, paprikash, on lightly crispy bread. Parking available as free street parking--though you may have to circle to find parking since it's near the Christmas House. Staff were nice and efficient. The place does feel a little tight in terms of space with less lighting, but there's still plenty of seating and what matters to me more is good food. Overall, great place to try local food. Would get the loco moski and paprikash sandwich again.

This place is a one stop shop for many Cleveland classics both original and vegan versions…read more My pre-trip research brought this place to my attention. I wanted to try the pierogi and the Polish boy and the KRAUT and having an extensive beer menu doesn't hurt either. Friendly neighborhood watering hole literally on the corner and basically across the street from the a Christmas story house allowing you to eat within eye sight of the leg lamp. I wanted basically everything from the menu that came vegan (spoiler alert there are tons and tons of things) but gastric space comes at a premium on vacation so we settled on the fried cheese. I was very excited to see the Polish boy (and vegan option no less) I didn't have much of a choice. GF ordered the vegan pierogi platter with vegan kielbasa on a bed of kraut. Firstly the fried cheese was head and shoulders above any mozz sticks or anything of the sort that I have had in memory. The breading is seasoned and crispy and heaven on earth. The cheese is PIPING. Like you will burn yourself if you, like me, have no patience. The accompanying tomato sauce is also steaming. So good. The Polish boy was also in a league of its own. Love that they have a vegan version. What a combo. Probably one of Cleveland's most important community contributions. We ordered the latkes to go and they were orgasmic. What a special place.

I started with the Blackberry Hibiscus Margarita, which was light, refreshing, and a great way to kick off the evening. We shared the Avo Trio with guacamole, queso, and salsa. The salsa wasn't my favorite, but the guacamole was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and the queso was excellent. At $20, it felt a little pricey, but the portion was generous enough for sharing. For my entrée, I ordered the Pollo Ala Crema, thin slices of sautéed chicken breast with cream sauce, Spanish rice, grilled corn, Brussels sprouts, a crispy corn cake, aji verde, and crumbled bacon. It was a unique combination of flavors that worked really well together, and I enjoyed the dish overall. Parking is available on the street, or after 6 p.m. you can park in the lot adjacent to the restaurant and pay through the mobile app, which was convenient. Overall, I had a good meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. While everything was solid, I'm not sure I'd make a special trip back with so many great Mexican restaurants in the area that I still want to try.

My wife enjoyed her turkey sandwich, but ended up switching dishes with my son, since he didn't love the brisket mac n cheese. That dish ended up not being eaten. I'm glad we had dinner here.
