    Breaded pork tenderloin with fries
    Steve V.

    Had lunch with some friends at George's Grill today. I haven't been here in a while since it's under new ownership, and the food and service are still top notch. We all got the breaded tenderloin - a thick, juicy sandwich fried and seasoned to perfection. The fries were good too - well seasoned. Our waiter provided good service and didn't rush us to finish. I'll have to make a point to come back more frequently.

    We had a great lunch recently at George's. Service was prompt and friendly. We got the seared ahi tuna appetizer and it was so good - I didn't expect this place to have such fresh raw fish but I would definitely order this again. We both got salads, they were also delicious and the portions were generous. The vibe of this place is casual, but still nice enough that it would be a great option for a date night or birthday dinner. There is plenty of close parking, and this restaurant is very handicap accessible. They have a large menu and I'm excited to return and try something new!

    It has been nine years since my last review of George's Neighborhood Grill, a mainstay of this area near 71st and Binford even as several of the businesses adjacent to it have long since departed. As was true nine years ago, George's is practically the definition of a "neighborhood" restaurant. It's located in a strip center with a vacant storefront on one side (previously was a Tuesday Morning) and a pretty new Owlslee CBD on the other. I really like this strip center, though the Uncle Bill's Pet Center Express is long gone and the Entenmann's outlet now keeps MUCH more limited hours. When I come here, I tend to get a haircut at the nearby Great Clips, ice cream at Scoop Shack, and lunch or dinner at George's - all are within easy wheeling/walking distance and there's also CVS right on the corner. George's got new ownership on 9/1/2024, so you're unlikely to see George himself anymore. So far, changes are pretty modest with some light decor changes, very minor menu changes, and a more diverse but still just as friendly as ever staff. As you enter, there's a hosting area. They do have outside seating, though it's only used during warm weather. Indoors, there's a bar area to the left (21+), family dining area directly behind the hosting area (there's a wall that separates the hosting area and the dining), and a private room that can be rented to the right of the dining area. Everything here is pretty accessible, though the double-doorway can be a bit tricky at times. The dining room is a mixture of tables, booths, and half-booths. One other new change is that they now have a rewards program. They have appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and an after 4:30pm entree menu. They also have a healthy menu, pizza, and a handful of desserts. They carry Pepsi products, have a pretty decent beer menu, a full bar, a kids menu, and generally they're pretty family friendly. I tend to order pretty simply here - The George (a burger cooked to order), fish n' chips, chicken tenders, or a tenderloin are all high on my list. People swear by the pizza, though I've had it once and didn't care for it at all. In fact, the pizza is the only thing I've had here I genuinely didn't like. George's has always been a bit hit-and-miss with service - occasionally amazing and occasionally just plain off. Today, for example, was wonderful. I still remember having one server who was so wonderful right after I'd been diagnosed with cancer - she was warm and wonderful. I hadn't told her I had cancer, but left her a tip thanking her for the wonderful service and explaining why it was so meaningful. She ended up running out to greet me at the my car. It was pretty incredible. I love the atmosphere here. The bar does have live music and it's not uncommon for Cleveland Browns fans to call George's home for a Sunday gathering during the season. I was a little concerned when I heard George's was being sold, but so far it's been as usual with good food, mostly good service, a winning atmosphere, and a place I'm pleased to frequent.

    George's is a neighborhood gem. IYKYK. My cousin reserved a private room to celebrate a birthday on a weeknight. George's provided two servers for our group of approximately 21. We were divided into two tables. The service was fast and friendly. I went for the Chicken Velvet Soup as an appetizer. It was thick, creamy, and tasty. For my meal I ordered off of the daily specials menu. My steak quesadilla was pretty good too. They had a new donut bread pudding that I want to go back to try. I recommend George's for date night, family outings, or take out. The regular menu has plenty of offerings and the specials change daily. It has two private rooms for gatherings. It also offers a bar, 17 flat screen TVs, and live music every Friday.

    Fried fish with sweet potato fries

    We visited here with a large party, the server we had was really attentive, especially with having 30 people to tend to. The food was just OK. I would say it was more bland, my boyfriend ordered zucchini fries, and they had no flavor whatsoever. On the menu, it is not listed that Parmesan is on top of the zucchini fries, so we didn't have to send those back because he is vegan. I don't know if I would return back just because of the bland flavor of the food, but I didn't have a terrible experience, it just wasn't great!

    House salad with yummy feta vinaigrette dressing.
    Colette F.

    I've heard about this place for years but I've never been there before my recent Monday night visit. I was by myself, so I looked to the hostess for guidance on whether I wanted to sit in the bar or the restaurant. She suggested the bar because it was quieter and that was a good choice. I sat at a tall table and was greeted quickly. Having looked at the menu ahead of time I was prepared to order the salmon special but Phyl talked me into the Chilean salmon entree. It was just a little more special than the special. Included a side of green beans and I chose a side salad. So happy I went with the recommendation for the feta vinaigrette dressing. I will be craving that again! It was not very busy and service was top notch. I look forward to returning soon.

    The drinks was good

    The food is good and stuff and amazing Customer service I would go back again I had a great time

    Pasta Primavera
    Elaine F.

    Walked in on a Sunday afternoon and was seated immediately. Jacob our server took good care of our table. Started the meal with spinach and artichoke dip followed by the pasta primavera which was plentiful and layered with kalamata olives, feta, and spinach. Loved the Greek influence of this dish. George's has a sports bar feel with ample menu items to satisfy any appetite.

    I had the pasta primavera from this place: Angel hair pasta tossed with tomatoes, kalamata olives, onions, feta cheese, spinach and roasted red peppers in a light cream wine sauce. The cream sauce was the perfect consistency, not too oily and not too creamy. The ambience has a sports bar feel with several games up on the screens. A great place with a lot of options.

    Monday specials. I am trying the steak quesadilla!
    Brenda J.

    Remember when George's wasn't open on Monday's? Now they are open for business on Mondays and have been for a while. Nobody told me! I love supporting independent restaurants and George's makes it easy. The menu is expansive, the food is delicious, the hard-working staff is attentive and it is apparent they work as a team. Mark was my server this evening. He did a great job making sure I had a good experience. It is little things like bringing lids for the sour cream & salsa when I wanted a to-go container. This is one of my favorite local restaurants. I've been here with my grandson and he liked it. Over the years I've eaten here and never had a bad experience. I'm so flag they are open on Mondays.

    I would contact George's directly. This answer comes quite a bit of time after the question - the pandemic has influenced staffing. However, if your still looking I'm sure they can answer your questions.

Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food.

The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.
