We've been coming to Fat Head's Brewery & Beer Hall since it first opened, and somehow this is my first time leaving a review! 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! read more

We had a fantabulous time after the Cavs exciting win! We had a 30 min wait. Not bad considering. We ordered a beer and took the self guided beer tour to kill time. The vibe is lively and fun! We ordered several tasters at the table $1.50 each. Just so we could figure out what we may want to take home Food..... wow ... I saw 3 orders of cheesesteak walk by so that's what I got. Cohort got wings. Wings were smoked fall off the bone deliciousness. Plus they are the full wing! My sandwich.... Almost Philly worthy ( I've had authentic Phillies) However I loved it!! Couldn't eat it all. We have food to take home yay!! I'm sad Columbus doesn't have a location. I know we have BrewDog but I feel this is a step Up. Guess we'll be make more Cleveland trips Wink wink read more

We came in on a Thursday night as a large family, as we were all in town for a family event... there were about 20 of us. Their seating rules weren't very clear as we talked to a few different people and seemed to get a slightly different story each time. It wasn't a very big deal though, we hung out in the bar area for about an hour and then got a couple of tables hear each other where we all sat. The menu is really nice, loaded with so many appetizing things! I wanted to start with a side salad and ordered that, but unfortunately it never came. I did get their spicy French dip, which was a special and it was decent. The onion rings were amazing, so were their baked beans. Service was decent for a group our size. Overall, it was a decent visit. read more

I went with family to Cleveland, Ohio and our hotel recommended this place and they did not disappoint! The service was great, the vibe was good and a few televisions were in this brewery. Family member also told me that you can see how beer is made! The food was tasty and I asked about the tartar sauce and Coleslaw! Usually I do not eat those 2 things, here I did as they make this themselves. We all had food to take back to the hotel. I'm going to Cleveland again, I am going back here! Family love the food too! read more

We stopped at Brew Dog as part of the Cleveland Brewery passport. It was very busy for Saturday afternoon. To be fair it was Valentine's Day. The building is enormous with tons of seating. We sat at the bar to have a beer and walked down to the self guided tour hallway. The bar was comfortable and the beer was good. The building itself was so big. Between the gift shop, the bar, the games, the tour and the restaurant it very much had an amusement park feel. We very much prefer the cozy feel. The staff were friendly at the bar. read more

On our way out of Cleveland on I 71 south we stopped into Fat Heads brewery. Huge complex that sits right off the highway. At about 4:30 pm the place was hopping. Lots of young families. We were immediately seated and served. The waitress was patient and provided us with all the menus and beer choices. We opted for a flight because there are no free tastings. Sad but true. 4 tastings comprised a flight. Blueberry seems to be the theme. I took pics of the menu. Each month offers specials. The food was good with a variety of bar foods and local specialties. (Baloney/ Brussels sprout salad). I wish this place was nearby. read more

This place was awesome!! We just happened to find it while desperately hungry leaving the airport and traveling all day from the west coast. We enjoyed the very affordable tastings. The giant pretzel was delicious and we loved the berry salad! My husband is hoping we can stop by on our way back! Service was just ok, as a midwestern girl myself... not the midwestern kindness and attentiveness I would expect. However not horrible either. The place is HUGE inside. You can also do self guided tours. read more

Fat Head's Brewery - Outside - Breweries Near Me - Middleburg Hts, Ohio

This is a pretty popular brewery/restaurant. It is a large place with seating inside and outside. They have a large patio for when the weather is nice and a pretty long/large bar if you do not want to sit at a table. There are self tours of the brewery if you want to explore or if you want to watch a sporting event they do have televisions. They have a large selection of beer of course, but also a cocktail menu. They were decorated for the holiday, which was nice as well. We sat at the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful. Their flatbreads are very good as well. I do recommend this place. They are usually pretty steady/busy. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer to grab our Ohio Pint glasses. They have a large selection of beers on tap and though we were just here a couple weeks ago we noticed new things on this visit but I went with my tried and true, Bumbleberry. read more

Great atmosphere (the space is huge and inviting), great food (brisket!), great beer selection (massive!), great beer (we tried 4). The service left a lot to be desired. With such a giant beer selection and hefty menu, a few questions were necessary but after asking one question, our server made us feel like we had already asked too much of her-- sort of a good mood killer. Apart from that, everything was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to come here again and explore another beer and another menu item, as long as I had a different server. read more

We had dinner at Fat heads with my Son & DIL about 1 week ago. My husband had the Pepperoni flatbread and salad. He said it was very filling and he liked it. I had the cod dinner.. waitress didn't tell me the coleslaw was on the sandwich. I really don't think it was cod it was nothing special just the oblong piece of fish on a long bun.(cost of 17.00) DIL liked her grilled chic salad and son liked the smoked wings. I thought the wings were not quite done.Still red around the bone inside. They did enjoy their beers. Don't go there if u want to talk bc it's a very loud and busy place!! read more

5 stars again. Great brewery and restaurant. Solid bar fare - fair pricing. Had the Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak and a couple Head Hunter IPAs. Great beer. Fries were hot and fresh and delicious. Sandwich was good - more bun than I prefer, but great chicken. Service at bar is attentive. Fun place. read more

The last two times I've tried to come here the lines were too much. This time it was perfect after the Cleveland boat show. There were 5 adults and one infant. We were seated quickly and our server was great. She got our beers quickly and gave us adequate time to review the food menu. I had the fish and chips and they were really good. If they had mushy peas on the side, I would've thought I was at a pub in England on a Sunday afternoon. I had a juiced to Jupiter and enjoyed it very much. There were others that I wanted to try but they will need to wait until next time when I'm not the DD. My husband had the. FAT ITALIAN - Ham, salami, capicola, pepperoni, crumbled hot sausage, provolone, hard-boiled egg, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, onion, and rosemary mayo. I tried it and it was very flavorful and sooo full of meat. If you're into a lot of meat, this did not disappoint. Could definitely share this it was so large ! Decor is perfect for a micro brewery Looking forward to coming back! read more

Second time here - although I don't remember much about that first time (maybe one too many). This time, a group of us stopped by during a ride. It's always impressive walking into this huge open space of a beer hall - the air full of the aroma of hops and yeast, which some of the people I was with found off-putting, but I was fine with it. We set our helmets down and I started with their Bumble Berry Ale: "Brewed with fresh harvested spring honey stolen from some very angry bees and infused with fresh blueberries. Creating a light, refreshing ale with a nice blueberry aroma, crackery malt flavors, a hint of sweetness, and a refreshing blueberry finish." I liked this beer quite a lot. The fresh blueberries floating up and down with the bubbles was a nice touch! For food, I decided on a headwich. Mo Betta: "Smoked brisket, portobello mushrooms, grilled onions, bacon, cheddar, and chipotle mayo." I was skeptical of ordering brisket at first because I don't remember ever having proper brisket in Ohio. But... this was good! It was tender and juicy and melted in your mouth. Their brisket gives Texas a run for their money! Since I was on the bike, I wasn't brave enough to try their other beers, but there's certainly an expansive variety for the next visit. And they have at least a couple more brisket items on their food menu as well. Will be back! read more

I ate here twice in August - my first visit I got a flatbread with bacon and a side salad - my second visit I got the bumble berry salad with a root beer float. I tried the perogies twice and I had some fried pickles -fries and boneless wings with celery and carrots. The food was wonderful both times! Lovely place for dinner :) read more

Service blows. Loud and smelly. Always busy but that's because it's overrated brewery.

Can't go wrong with the Mo Betta Beef and Chedda. Would be 5 stars but the south side slopes was not on the menu.

First off, this place is huge! Plenty of seating both indoors and out. The patio space is also dog friendly! We stopped in for a beer and a snack and enjoyed both. We opted for the fried pickles a pretzel, and the wings. The pickles were juicy and clearly house made. The pretzel was big enough to share and came with a delicious beer cheese. The wings come whole and were very flavorful. Since they are smoked they're not your typical crispy fried wing, but the smoke flavor really came through and the chicken was juicy and tender. The buffalo sauce is not your traditional Frank's and had a lot more flavor and really complimented the smoked chicken. We tried several different beers and I appreciated the variety of styles they offer. read more

I came here for a work event and the brewery is clean and spacious! There is no reservations so it was difficult to find a table for the amount of people we had at lunch hour but the hosts were able to find a spot for us! We ended up hanging out at the standing tables instead which was cool because you were able to order food and drinks there. We only ordered appetizers (pretzel, flatbread, nachos with chicken, and fries) which were all very food. The pretzel was soft and big. The flatbread was pepperoni and buffalo chicken which were both good- I think these are better as apps since they weren't big. The nachos and chicken was a good portion also. read more

Waited 15+ mins and got no service not even water. No one even acknowledged us. We left. We have been to this location numerous times and always enjoyed it. Today =epic fail. read more

Last time we were here the hosts acted in a very immature manner. As we walked in, the hosts just kind of chuckled to each other looking at each other for a straight 5 seconds until they gave us a snark response that it was an hour wait In the past we have gladly waited 45 mins, but with the behavior and the fact that the waiting area was empty, we decided to go elsewhere. Sad, we liked this place. We will not be coming back. read more

Fat Head's is good, they tend to get busy. They have a wide array of beer and drink selections and normally their food is good, but the last time I went it was definitely below the mark. Nachos were cold. I had the Mo Betta for an entree and it was definitely on the more fatty side. All in all it's okay, not my favorite but wouldn't go out of my way to avoid the place. read more

Great open area that was wonderful for families too. I would stop back anytime. You can take a self guided tour of the brewery and see all the machinery works. We were on our way to Cleveland for a Cavaliers game and stopped in to watch the end of the Browns game and get some grub. It is located in an industrial park setting so don't be fooled when you drive up. Just park and head inside. The atmosphere was fun inside although it could be a bit loud for some people. Our waitress was great. She checked in on us just enough to keep things moving without being too overbearing. She was able to answer questions about all the different beer options and the food as well. Speaking of the food... we ordered a few different things and sampled our way around. The Fried Pickles were okay, but really weren't anything to write home about. The pierogies were average, but the chicken quesadilla was the hit of the table. The smokiness of the full sized wings was done just right and wasn't overpowering or hidden by the flavorings. Kids enjoyed their meals as well. We'll be back for sure. read more

I had the Reuben sandwich and french fries, and it was quite amazing. The corned beef was nice and tender and flavorful, sauerkraut was spot on as was the dressing. The texture of the bread was just perfect for a Reuben sandwich. Even the fries were fantastic here. Had the fried pickles as well and both sauces were quite tasty. The service was friendly and fast. And I love the overall brewery atmosphere. read more

Had a joint meeting with another business group about 9 years ago with a tour & dinner. Food was very good & liked the Bumbleberry Beer - very tasty!!

Reuben was delightful. The onion rings are the absolute best in the city, and the Holly Jolly was so jolly!

Wide open space, friendly service, great food! The location right off 71 South is vast and offers a lovely outside look at brewing process. (I'd really like a tour). There's an interesting aroma floating through the establishment that was a little difficult for my oldest to get past but overall huge really enjoyed the place. The burgers and the pulled pork were amazing. So tender, juicy, delicious. I love the wings... full sized, smoked, then baked int he sauce (though i actually prefer the sauce not he side).My son can't get past the pink inside the smoked wings but he's trying to get there. Our waitress, the hostess, and the bartender were all tremendously friendly and easily help fuel the desire to come back to this location and i look forward to it. read more

Awesome food and beer. Great location. And the service is fast and keeps you glass full.

Food and service were great. It was the day before Halloween, so there was a costume contest. Made for a fun evening.

The facility and the restaurant themselves are impressive and you can take a self-guided tour of the inner workings of the production facility (brewery). While I'm not a beer drinker myself, it was pretty interesting to see everything that goes into producing Fat Head's assorted brews. For dinner, I chose the Wood-Fired Portobello Sandwich, a hoagie bun stuffed with wood-fired portobello mushrooms, arugula, roasted red peppers, and grilled red onions. I requested that the provolone be replaced with the vegan cheese they offer as an alternative on the menu, which they were happy to accommodate, and that the rosemary mayo be left off. I can tell you that for a bar & grill type atmosphere, it was a completely serviceable meat-free dish, and I'm grateful that they offer it. I could most definitely pick up on the smoky flavor from the mushrooms, the arugula added a nice hit of mild peppery freshness to the sandwich, and the roasted red peppers & grilled onions added just a touch of sweetness to bring the sandwich together. read more
