Veronica thank you so much for all your help with planning our 50th class reunion last Saturday. everything worked out perfectly . All the employees that worked the event were so nice, efficient and helpful. Words cannot express how great they were. I will recommend you and your staff for any event. Thanks so much for making that night so truly special!!! Mickey Mahaney read more

Terrible. How does this place stay in business? My son had reservations for the family on Mother's Day, 6 in all. When we arrived, on time, we were told that, due to issues in the kitchen, we would be seated, but no food would be served for at least an hour. We quickly called a few restaurants for possible availability. We had no luck, so opted to stay. Much later, our server informed us that our fastest option was to order the hamburger. 5 did, 1 ordered the chicken club, 2 also ordered lobster bisque, which we later cancelled. Well over an hour went by before food came. The server, who was left in a bad position, said he would take 50% off the food bill. But, with drinks, the bill was till over $160. To make matters worse, the 5 of us who ordered hamburgers became ill later that evening with stomach issues. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS HORRBLE PLACE! read more

good food and we like the atmosphere, but service is awful. Walked in and sat at an empty bar for 10 min and no one even walked past us. Every time we go (1x per 2 mo), we always feel like the service is lacking. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ehhh, the Burntwood Tavern is classic, if you are looking for a light lunch, the perfect patio (it's also heated in the early enter) or dinner you can always get a table or sidle up to the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the hot shrimp, seasoned perfectly and fresh, clearly not frozen. We also split the tacos, the perfect portion, fries on the side and a burger. Honestly the service is hit or miss as late, I'm Always ready to give it another try hoping they return to the height of their opening. read more

I have never left a review before. I visited yesterday. I ordered the "bottomless mimosas", they allow you to get up to four, which my friends and I were okay with. Believe bottomless mimosas were banned in OH so I can understand. All of us only drank one because it was a champagne glass filled with orange juice. None of us could even taste the Prosecco. We asked our waiter if we could add a little bit more just so we weren't drinking four glasses of orange juice. He said that he is not allowed and was trained to only fill each glass only 1/4 full of Prosecco. So in the end you'd only be drinking one glass of Prosecco and three glasses of orange juice. I would not recommend. Food was pretty good. I got the breakfast tacos on their weekend brunch menu. Our waiter was understanding, and agreed with us that it was ridiculous. My friends visited the North Olmsted location and had much better things. I will not be back. So many other restaurants worth your money. read more

I came in on Valentine's Day with a 730 reservation. When we walked in the reception area was completely jammed with people. Five parties were ahead of us with 730 reservations and four more came in behind us. They had no tables for any of us. We were told it would be at least a 20 minute wait. I of course argued that this is why we make a reservation so we don't have to wait but, it fell deaf ears. Wasn't seated till 8 PM. Again, if I wanted an 8 PM reservation I would've made an 8 PM reservation. There was really no place for anyone to sit while waiting and a lady with a walker came in had to just stand. No one could offer a seat cause they weren't any. I was there that night a total of two hours. For a place that specializes in burgers and tacos. There was the apologies in the O we overbooked and we are under staff, but that's not the customer's problem. That's management's problem. If you don't have enough slots or enough people, then you need to not take that many reservations. 20 minutes for cocktails to arrive and a half an hour for the appetizers. It was an hour from the time we sat down until dinner was served. We ordered a second round of cocktails before the food came. It took another 20 minutes to get that. Mine was just a glass of Prosecco and my husband's was just a draft beer. 20 minutes to get those two. The appetizers were great. We had calamari and firecracker shrimp. I think we both prefer the firecracker shrimp, quite flavorful. My husband did say that this calamari rival was more expensive restaurants. My husband Smashburger was to his liking and he did indeed enjoy it. My fish and chips was actually oily. Like they could've drained it just a little bit more. I understand they're busy but just a little more draining would've done better. The slaw needed seasoning. But there was no salt or pepper to be had and the server was too busy to come over and get it for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got to sit by the fireplace, which was nice and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Might I be back to try the Smashburger, my husband like so much ? I don't know, maybe. But this visit much like the oily fish has left a bad taste in my mouth... read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I think Burntwood Tavern is best when eating inside, not takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken dish was good but extremely oily. The tavern tots were just OK. Overcooked and lacking a sauce in my opinion. read more

Came on a Thursday evening with a couple friends to this location. This place seemed understaffed, 2 of the booths were sitting there dirty with dishes from previous customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was nice though, with chandeliers and a nice bar atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was subpar. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which was 3 for $14. Very small portions, wish it came with a side of fries or something. My friend ordered the margarita flatbread for $14 also, which seemed more like an appetizer than an actual entree. Overall, would not come back here. read more

After a long day, I wanted a good meal and decided to give Rocky River Burntwood another shot at takeout. I ordered online, arrived at the restaurant for pick up 15 minutes after, and still had to wait 30 minutes standing at the bar for my food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Wednesday night and there were not many tables being served at this time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not sure the staff count, but it was very disappointing as I was told by a hostess it would be "just a few minutes" twice, and had to wait at least 30 minutes for a salad and burger. Won't be doing takeout here any time soon again read more

Horrendous. Service sucked. Got ignored for 30 minutes. Finally ordered . Was awful. Salad with lots of vegetables. Iceburg lettuce and few tomatoes. Sent it back. Decided to fast. Everything about it sucked. Manager was beyond rude. Never again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saturday night dinner time was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now we know why . Don't waste your money. read more

We recently hosted a bridal shower here, and I can't say enough about the service. The food and mimosa bar all went over well, but the attention to detail from Veronica and Liz truly stood out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They made sure everything was seamless- the room was set up when we arrived and it was clear this was not their first rodeo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Liz waited on our guests with a very personal touch- my mimosa glass was never empty. She was the greatest!! I would highly recommend this location for a private party and these amazing ladies for their top notch hospitality. read more

Stopped in for lunch while in town for work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sat at the bar and talked with bar tender for a while. She recommended the Jumbalaya when I told her I narrowed it down to 3 items. I love Jumbalaya and honestly it was incredible! It was a huge plate and I didn't come close to eating it all. Highly recommend! read more

Is there a zero rating? I took my mother and the rest of the family out for mother's day yesterday, six people in total. Made the reservations about a week in advance. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told by the front desk that the kitchen was "backed up" approximately 45 minutes to an hour. After some discussion , we decided to stay. Big mistake. Food took over 90 minutes to arrive. I was charged for two lobster bisques that we never received. The waiter graciously gave me 50% off of the food bill, but of course the lobster bisques were still on the invoice. I just didn't care, all I wanted to do at that point was get out of there as soon as possible. No manager EVER came over to apologize for the situation. Five of us ordered burgers as the waiter said those would come out from the kitchen before anything else. None of the food was cooked properly. Paid my $166 bill and left. Next morning, everyone in our party is sick to their stomach. Please, please, please, don't make my mistake and patronize this restaurant! read more

I'm in here all the time. Always getting the chicken piccata. However, this time? My piccata was brought by an angel. This old man hasn't had a chat like with Christina in a long time... Beautiful soul... read more

Friday night - only one hard working but inexperienced bar tender. Horrid servers and terrible food. They bring us apps but no plates. Really disappointed in a once fantastic establishment that has gone to hell. I predict they will be out of business by end of year. How can this happen to place with such a great location? Shame read more

I ordered the salmon dinner, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The fish was dry and overcooked, making it barely edible. However, I ordered the same meal at the Westlake location, and it was perfectly executed. read more

$40 for 2 sandwiches with no flavor, and fries that taste like they were cooked in dirty oil. It would be an insult to restaurants everywhere to call this place mediocre. read more

I will never go back again. Maybe 5 tables were full and there were 2 servers working. It took about 10-15 minutes to get a drink between refills. We were never asked how things were until we were about done eating. This was a very disappointing experience and the food isn't even that good. They charge way too much for what you get. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Arrived at the restaurant and hardly anyone was there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The host first told us that it would be a 45 minute wait for our food. We asked if we could have a glass of wine and he replied that he had to check with his manager. He returned and advised us that we couldn't be seated for 45 minutes. We left. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

We had a great dinner with my family for our daughter's 24th birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My in laws are in their 90s and the atmosphere was hip enough for the kids, but calm enough for the grandparents.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Melissa was amazing. Very attentive and kind. The fish tacos were among the best we've had, and the kids (ages 18-24) loved their burgers, sandwiches, and steaks. Great place for a big group (there were nine of us) and Melissa brought our daughter a piece of molten lava cake with a candle for her birthday. Thank you, Melissa and team!! read more

Nice server but took forever to get our food. Cold fries. Brought out flat beer. Sent two back. Brought two more and one of the new ones was also flat. Chicken sandwich was dry. Asked for no cheese on a salad because of a dairy allergy. Got cheese on that salad anyway . Will not go back. read more

Very disappointed with our experience at lunch. Few people in the restaurant yet no one to greet us. All three of our meals were subpar. I didn't eat my chicken club, tasteless and bread soaked with dressing. Coleslaw no flavor at all. we will not return. I feel sorry for the server with so few customers. read more

Great service and ambience. Calamari was good my toddler loves it. Salmon good, pasta and Alfredo sauce also yummy. My son enjoyed his fries grill cheese and veggies as well. Great happy hour options. Drinks and food are included in happy hour read more

Went there for Mother's Day. Reservations for 2pm, seated at 2:40. Half of the buffet items were empty and they weren't refilling them because it was almost 3! There were 5 of us. So I guess $200 for drinks and whatever scraps were left over on the buffet. I pity the people who came behind us. I've given them a bad review before and it seems to have been removed from yelp. Does yelp take old reviews down at some point because my old review is very much like this one. read more

Made a reservation for an early Mother's Day brunch. I was called two days ahead to tell me they aren't open at the time of the reservation I booked online and they wouldn't have anything but a high top at 11:00am -can't use that table with a baby and small child. I confirmed my reservation twice on open table at the restaurants request. She was supposed to check with north Olmsted to try and rebook me there but I never heard back. Bad customer service. read more

Visited again with my family and had a much more positive experience than on the first visit. Server was fabulous, food (brunch -- so think salads) was lovely...and while it's not in the running for a Michelin star any time soon, it was better than we expected...and fair is fair...so updating the review! read more

I now live out of state but love coming back to Burntwood when visiting. Tonight was no exception of the great experience, with CJ and Lisa. Calamari and Cauliflower apps were amazing! Christmas ale and bubbles to celebrate the season and getting together with friends and family. Will be back again before flying out!! read more

Visited Burntwood yesterday for the trick or treat parade and was joyfully greeted by Jamie your manager. I am leaving a review because the last time my family and I brought our granddaughter in, she was the same woman that made a personalized scarecrow coloring page for her. My granddaughter was so happy with that gesture and so were we. It seems like the world is lacking acts of kindness like this, so let Jamie know we appreciate her making our visits there so special. We will be back. Meridith Johnson read more

Macy gave my table a fantastic first experience. Great customer service and super friendly. Food was fantastic. The salsa/ guacamole was just okay, but that Applewood smoked bacon was cooked perfectly. So was the burger and chicken. Love the ambiance. Enough indoor and outdoor seating.

There's a server here who smelled bad and I could tell she was on hour 16. She reeked of alcohol, her breath was rotten. Besides the lack of personal hygiene... the food is delicious, but they should hire in people who care about their physical appearance and personal hygiene, to be sitting and trying to eat while getting wafts of body odor is super unpleasant. read more

Come here if you are ok with limited glassware, running out of basic ingredients, no silverware with dinner, no condiments for your fries and slow service. read more

Terribly under staffed. Extremely salty and clearly fake (not squid) calamari. The smallest most disappoint $15 wedge salad I've ever seen. Will not be returning it's sad to see because at one time this chain of restaurants was really top tier but has clearly gone way down hill. read more

I came here on a Tuesday while I was in town. Walking in the place had a good smokey smell from the kitchen using wood to cook over. The other thing I noticed walking in is that they had daily specials listed and Tuesdays was all day happy hour. Each day had a reasonably attractive item listed. For my meal I had a cup of lobster bisque and the salmon entree. I also had a Sam's Adam and pumpking from southern tier. They had a really good selection of beers available including the fall selections. The bisque was ok and the salmon was excellent. It was lightly charred on the outside and was not dried out. Really nicely done and flavorful. Overall had a very good experience here and would come back when in the area. read more

I was surprised to walk in here and see such a large, beautiful inviting space. How awesome. This place is seriously gorgeous. My favorite part of their decor is the lights hanging above their booths. They are made of repurposed wood and are very unique. They have a great food and drink menu featuring local and national craft beers, delicious cocktails and food ranging from flatbread, sandwiches to salads. They really have something for everyone. I ordered the Fresh Greens salad with blackened Shrimp and my husband ordered the Reuben. Both were super tasty and the Reuben was seriously HUGE. It was enough for him for dinner and breakfast the next day and he eats a lot. We were both super satisfied with our food. My only problem with this place is that I paid for two meals (my husband and I), as well as our drinks and two beers for a friend and it somehow cost $70. After tip, I spent $84 on a salad, a reuben and a few drinks. Not happy about that at all. read more

We enjoyed our early dinner. Our server, Jessica, was a joy and very attentive. The french dip was very enjoyable. We always enjoy sitting on their patio. read more

The decor is interesting as it used to be a movie theatre. They have outdoor seating which is nice and it's covered. The food was really good overall but mine was served luke warm like it had been sitting around for a while. They were short staffed of course but when we got there the waitress had maybe 3-4 tables so it wasn't crowded. She didn't seem happy to be there though. Just an "okay" expeience overall. read more

Rustic tavern ambiance was very nice but the lighting was too dark for the afternoon, the temperature was a bit chilly and the music was a bit loud. Soup and salad was very good but overpriced for serving sizes. $17 for the lunch portion. Server was personable. read more
