Excellent menu and and above average drinks. Service is always excellent. Will continue to visit the FKB

Great food and service. The atmosphere is so cool to look at and take in. I'm new around here and this made me feel at home

Got there at 4 30 pm, place was half empty. Told, very rudely, that it would be at least 30 minutes. 5 wait staff just standing around the podium socializing. Can't see why there would be any wait at all. Many open tables available. read more

I really appreciate the atmosphere here, but all other components are lacking. I've been here a handful of times & enjoy the menu except they lack the full on dining service I expect. Kitchen is slow & Doesn't seem to get orders correct. Staff is not synchronized. I get it you are not my server but my empty plates are cluttering my table you've walked by me twice you can simply take one for the team & grab my empty dish. Acts of kindness reflect your business & your money. I had to enjoy the dirty table landscape. I'm paying for an experience please execute it properly. Maybe it's demographics but regardless no excuse management can train these simple techniques to make a memorable dining experience. Take my criticism kindly I'm just trying to help, would love to have a regular place to enjoy. On a positive note the do offer daily specials. & staff is friendly (just not polished) read more

Fun place to go for a burger. Hard to get in the weekends. Go early or late. Good service and drinks.

We love this place & need to go back soon. They have good daily specials, a great bar, atmosphere & the pizza is amazing too! I love having a nice place downtown Elyria like this, and hope more businesses open / thrive here as well! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away by the bartender. We ordered deviled eggs and the BLT salad both were Amazing. I had the black bean tacos and he had the chicken fajitas. Everything was Tasty and Fresh. The peppers in the fajitas were cooked perfectly. I had the corn tacos and I could barely finish the three. We definitely will be back. Loved the atmosphere and the drink list has something for everyone. They have a great bourbon selection . Will be back! Great Local Restaurant read more

I eat there quite a bit. Great service and friendly staff!! Definitely recommend them!!

Stopped in for the first time on a Saturday evening. The place was busy but we were able to get seated right away! The inside is gorgeous! The workers were all very kind & our food was DELICIOUS! We had the fried pickles for an appetizer (so good!) I got the chicken and waffles and it was excellent! My fiancé got the TJ burger without guac and both of us agree that it was the best burger either of us have ever had! He's extremely picky with food (especially burgers) but we were both extremely impressed. Definitely recommend here! The prices are very affordable, the portion sizes are good, and the food is excellent! read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but the Foundry is exceptional!! The menu offers many items that are unique. There are items you won't find on just any American fare menu. I had the short rib entree and it was so delicious. I want to go back and try everything. My husband had the brisket poutine and we all shared. It's listed as a starter but plenty for 4 of us. It was outstanding! I can't forget our server. She was friendly and professional. read more

Always reliably good! Love bringing my kids here. Pub grub like the burgers and wings are great. I love their buffalo chicken wrap on Wednesdays. For St Pats I had the 3 cheese grilled cheese with bacon and a bowl of tomato bisque. Wonderful! Went well with a craft beer and a Tully Dew! Always have great service! read more

This was our first time at FKB, so glad we came to dine! Our waitress ( Morgan ) gave excellent service, was prompt and helpful with her suggestions. Way to go Morgan! We started with the wasabi deviled eggs, what a delicious appetizer. I had meatloaf, seasoned just right. My hubby had the salmon, perfectly prepared. Followed by Lucifer's chocolate, we had an excellent meal. We will be back! The holiday themed ambiance really looked beautiful. read more

Amazing food and great prices. Great happy hour options! The pretzel stick appetizer is amazing! Cannot go wrong with burgers, wraps, wings, or salads. read more

Foundry Kitchen and Bar is a little gem in downtown Elyria. Not much to draw you downtown but this place is worth the trip. Menu is fun gastropub fair, well executed and served by a capable and friendly wait staff. Atmosphere is lively and fairly loud, but the tables are well spaced. Dinner is set to a 90s alternative soundtrack that is nostalgic without feeling stale. read more

Nice staff & my food was done quick & hot. Not to mention delicious! Highly recommend .

This place is a gem - the Korean chicken sandwich was excellent. Loved the sour cream and onion dipping sauce for the chips - that was SO good. Drinks were very reasonably priced, staff was very nice, decor was very nice - highly recommended and will definitely come back read more

definitely a gem in elyria, was looking for a more traditional/gastropub place to eat during a busy weekend for restaurants in oberlin so decided on here. they have a really big inside space and half in/out area with fans- flowers were set on each table and were really pretty. the service was quick and efficient and our orders and food took no less than 15/20 minutes. we had chips n dip, pickle bites and wings for appetizers which were good- wings the best. for a main i ate a cheese burger with pepper jack which was tasty, and a side of chips. overall a good lunch spot :) read more

I rely heavily on reviews and gave this place a chance to respond via email to rectify the problem with no response. The venue and service was great!! Very impressed initially until we got our over priced less than mediocre food. Ordered the pretzels, they were edible. I chose the portobello mushroom sandwich which was mostly bread & very little mushroom peppers or onion. My partner got a chicken wrap, which would've been fine except for the lettuce was hot . read more

Good location in downtown Elyria in a great historic building. Lots of parking which made it really convenient. They directed us to the least attractive table right in front of the door, but when we asked for something different they were quick to move us somewhere else. Our server was nice but not super helpful regarding the menu. Nevertheless, we had a good meal-I had the burger that was half bacon, half burger (delicious) and my partner had the Mac and cheese which she enjoyed as well. The sweet potato fries were a little "meh"; next time I'd probably go with the regular fries. Lots of TV's,going with sports, so a pretty high energy place. A worthy stop for us! read more

Visited for the first time this afternoon after flying in from out of state to see family. Very pleased with not only the atmosphere but the service. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, everything was fresh and hot. Our server, Chelsea, was fantastic, even with the lunch rush hour happening she refilled drinks, answered questions, and when I brought up that I was dairy free she was attentive to ensure my meal had no dairy products and substituted vegan cheese on my sandwich. Highly recommend stopping in to the Foundry! read more

Great atmosphere, staff is friendly, smiles, and willing to answer any questions. Good beer selection. Food was great.

Foundry never disappoints. We came in on a Friday night but they recently opened a new side that is for party rentals or allows them to space out for more people on the weekends. My husband ordered chicken waffle pizza with a waffle crust, chicken, bacon, cheese and maple Siracha syrup. This was fantastic! A new twist on chicken and waffles. I ordered margarita gnocchi with a balsamic drizzle. This was a punch of flavor. We are very happy with our meals. We ordered chips and dip for an appetizer, the chips are thin and crispy, just perfect in my opinion. We wanted to order fried pickles but they only have spears. Why in the world do restaurants not serve pickle chips instead of spears, they are so much better. Our server was very friendly and was on point with recommendations read more

I went in person once had great service great food! The garlic wings and bacon Mac and cheese was so amazing I do delivery often!

Great restaurant, clean and has an patio you can also sit on. There are TVs visible from all seats. We got the chips and dip as an appetizer... the dip was great. The caprese salad was nice and fresh as was the chicken and waffles. They had a good selection of drinks and we settled on a blood orange cider. read more

I can't say I've ever had a bad meal! Food is always delicious, cocktails are also top notch. Support this local eatery!

Absolutely Incredible. I can't believe I just tried this place for the first time. Service is outstanding and with a smile. I had Chicken Bacon Pasta with tomato and artichoke in a white wine reduction sprinkled with pecorino and basil. AMAZING. And so are the prices. Definitely be back read more

Not a huge menu, but pretty much something for everyone. Thursday is pizza night, good. Wraps are good. The steak is good, but not a fan of the bacon wrapped asparagus. Asparagus, good. Bacon good. Put them together and if the bacon is cooked, the asparagus is ruined. If the asparagus is good, raw bacon. They kitchen is good, but they have yet to pull that one off, at least for me. read more

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but boy they deliver the best food to yours table. Service is great too. You have to try it to believe it.q read more

So I liked this place so much the first time around that I stopped again on my way back home from the East Coast. On this trip I had a burger with a side of the chips and sour cream and onion dip. I also had the pretzel sticks for an appetizer. The food was just as amazing as the first time, as was the service. My server, Abby, was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Unlike most places that ask how I want my burger cooked and then make it however they want anyway, the Foundry was spot on with a perfectly cooked medium burger. It was juicy and tasty. And the homemade chips and dip did not disappoint. Again, this place is fantastic and I highly recommend it whether you are from the area or just passing through. read more

Excellent place! Service great! Food delicious!! Best Poutine I've had since fishing in northern Canada. read more

Nice bar and atmosphere, gave me the feel similar to the new age bars with a better than bar food menu but still had a traditional sense to it. CRABCAKES! Never would I have expected good crab cakes from Elyria Ohio but this place got it right. Not filled with stuffing (like most places) and was served with beautiful presentation. The strip steak was decent, potatoes were good, greens were cooked but had bacon in it. Overall for the steak dish I'd say average nothing special. Would want to try their crazy burgers that are mixed with half beef and half bacon or chorizo. Yummmm read more

I went to an affair at the Foundry & Bar last Thursday and because I'm so picky, I ate at home first. What a mistake! The pizza and the pulled pork were sensational! Both melted in my mouth and I was so sorry that my belly was already full. The service was quick and they kept checking on me. I am more than satisfied and had looked them up online to order a pizza right now when I saw these reviews and had to add mine. Honey Howard read more

Had been here once before and wanted to come back for dinner on a Wednesday night. We were told by the hostess it would be a 30-35 minute wait max. Me and my boyfriend waited in the hall and didn't bother the hostess due to a busy waitlist. After waiting for an hour, the party who came in 25 minutes after us was seated and we we were never even acknowledged. An hour wasted for being decent people and letting them do their jobs rather than bothering the hostess every 5 minutes. Refuse to give this place my business. Go somewhere with better service. read more

Food is always really good when we visit or order carry out. The wait can sometimes be a bit long but only when they are very busy.

Visited around 6pm on a Friday night. We were greeted right away and didn't have to wait for a table. Both of our meals were delicious. My husband has the meatloaf and I had buffalo chicken Mac. Our waitress was very nice and there was a good atmosphere. We are not from this area, but it seemed like lots of locals and friends gather here. read more

Dear suburban Clevelanders (Clevelandites?), Don't you ever eat pizza in a restaurant? We tried four different places to have a pizza pie and every one of them was either take out and delivery or they only had one (occupied) table! We finally ended up at the Foundry. Thankfully they have excellent pizza! The crust is soft, yet the edges still had a nice crisp edge on them. I do like a little more sauce on my pies, but the toppings and the cheese were plentiful. We also ordered some BBQ boneless wings and they were fantastic! I loved the sauce. I am forever complaining that sauces are too spicy, but this one was perfect and the chicken was cooked well, too. Our server was very friendly and she helped my husband find a local IPA. This was a great find right in downtown Elyria and if you haven't been yet, get in your car and go! read more

Best food, best service... thank you wendy for everything!!! Food was amazing and drinks where to die for... my new favorite spot
