It's cash only so be aware of that, but the drinks are also really cheap so a $20 will go a long way. We were there on a weeknight so I don't know how service handles on busy nights, but it was perfectly good for us. Lots of regulars to this neighborhood staple. Biggest issue is the bathroom, which does not lock so is... not ideal.

Came here for their Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint! Brunch doesn't start until 11am on Sunday and we arrived around 1140 and got a table for 2 without any wait! The hostess and our waitress were friendly and attentive. Started with a stacked Bloody Mary which had a slider, bacon, and a chicken wing! The bloody itself was tasty, though I prefer mine to be a little spicier. We got the Hawt Mess and Breakfast Poutine and both were delicious. The over easy egg on the poutine was perfectly cooked and the smashed potatoes in the Hawt Mess were crispy and flavorful. We will absolutely be back to try the rest of the brunch menu!

I've been wait for 45 minutes on my food for just breakfast eggs and potatoes should never take that long and there was not many people in there then I watched multiple tables get served before me after they came in 20 minutes after me, my hungry ass came for the Skyline burrito and left with the filled stomach of poutine Fries.

After finding some questionable street parking - there was a carpet of broken glass from a breakin nearby - I stepped inside. This place is... unusual. I've never been to a joint with a two-level bar which was interesting. At 5pm on a weekday, the vibe was peaceful and light. A few UC girls popped in for shots and got carded. A bunch of locals were hanging out. I simply enjoyed my PBR and the show. [Review 20486 overall - 213 in Ohio - 1466 of 2023.]

I was anxious to get on the road ahead of the blizzard but here we are. From the first moment when we were greeted by regulars and I raised eyebrows by asking for a glass for my PBR, I knew I was among friends. Regulars had all brought in food and we were warmly invited to partake. Everything from home baked cookies to Arby's! And a world class collection of sports memorabilia. Really world class. I wish this was in my hood. But I was told it is often this way during games, so I will be bringing my new friend, who does live nearby. I totally forgot I needed to get on the road and enjoyed myself. And if you know me, you know how unique that is. So if you can, visit here ASAP. And you can thank me later.

The parking lot is a bit cramped even when the bar isn't packed, so if you can swim on over here by other means, please do. The Lucky Turtle is a full bar with plentiful wine and beer selections including great local beers from Rhingeist, Madtree and more; as well as delicious Empanadas from Empanadas Aqui! Looking for something a little different? Ask the bartender to "shake your juice" and wrap your flippers around a delicious juice/milkshake beer/liquor blend concoction. Just last night, the Turtle's mixologist played mad scientist and prepared a beautifully balanced pineapple IPA concoction that really had my tail thumping. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very deliberate. Check out their website for events and specials that seem to occur just about every night of the week, so gather up your clutch for a good time at the Lucky Turtle!
