We got to cross another "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" restaurant off our list: Good Company in Cleveland's Detroit Shoreway neighborhood! It's a cute little place right near the lake with white brick walls, a casual atmosphere, and phenomenal service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat right away. Our waitress truly went above and beyond for us, making our visit feel extra special!! Everything is so fresh here--they even make their own pretzels and sandwich bread from scratch! We shared a Soft Pretzel served with house-made brown butter cream cheese which was absolutely delicious. For mains, I got the Cheese Steak Dip and my husband got the Surf & Turf. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

On our third visit to Good Company we ended up getting a smash burger which we cut in half and split because it was so large. Burger was perfectly cooked. Sandwich was good, but a little heavy on the lettuce. We also got the chicken skins with ranch, which of course are the best part of fried chicken. This dish was raped about by Michael Symon and Guy Fieri. We also got some french fries dusted and hot spices which we need more ranch dressing for. Very good, but we need to go later on dusting next time. We also got a brown sugar rice crispy treat which we got one to split and then we ended up getting a second one because it was so good. Cheers, the good company read more

I really wish I could agree with the good reviews that made me try this restaurant, but I'm genuinely disappointed in my experience. We had a 30 minute wait, and this was expected on a Friday night. They called when the table was ready, and in the meantime you are able to walk around the area which is very nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice at first, and if you're seated in the front that would definitely be a high point of your experience, but we were seated not quite in the back (which in my opinion is way too dark) but at one of the tables between the kitchen prep section and the bathrooms. The entire meal was spent watching the employees roll utensils and people waiting for the bathrooms (which were covered in... sticky... substances). After ordering, and waiting an hour for the food to come (the appetizers we ordered were not brought out in that wait, nor did we see our server the entire time) the food was overcooked to the point my burger physically hurt to hold since it was rock hard and cutting into my palm. Everything was also incredibly salty. read more

I've gone here multiple times and have had a great experience every time. I should note that it will be busy so there might be a wait. There is bar seating and a lot of other seating plus a small patio. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service is relatively quick. I really like their cocktail specials such as the elderflower margarita. The breakfast sandwich was perfect and the fries are always a crowd favorite. I recommend the Thai wings too! Very fun casual place for lunch or dinner. read more

We saw this on Drive-ins, Diners and Dives, and went that evening. This neighborhood eatery is off the beaten path, but close to Edgewater Park tunnel. We went on a Saturday around 5. The space opened at 4 p.m. The old industrial room is large with old walls and a concrete floor. Tables and high tops comfortably fill the space. Nice music plays over the speakers. There are TVs. We were seated right away. Then the people came. This is a popular place hidden in a condo/apartment area. Menu included made-from-scratch sandwiches, marinated wings, milk shakes with/out spirits and other good choices. There are Vegan choices. A bar where people were visiting and eating was nice. Check out the family restrooms. We enjoyed it all. read more

First off, have tried a lot of wings in my life, but none quite like these. One bite, and you can clear the bone of meat. It literally just falls off the bone. Their tavern style sauce is zesty and has a hint of citrus, and the pecorino garlic is creamy and flavorful. Decently priced for the huge high quality wings. Cool location too, within walking distance of the beach. read more

I came here for dinner with a friend during the weekday. The inside is nice and the service was efficient without making you feel rushed. I opted for the Vegan Oliv with a side of fries. My friend opted for the wings given that they marinated them for 72 hours. Someone of them were a bit too spicy for us but that's really more on us then on them. Overall, lovely experience and would stop by again. read more

WOW seriously lived up to my expectations and exceeded them!! AMAZING fall off the bone tender wings with some great sauce, I had the dad's buffalo sauce and my boyfriend got the pecorino garlic. I preferred the buffalo, the ranch and blue cheese are both great We also ordered the pretzel and the fries which were both insanely insanely amazing. The pretzel came with a white cheese sauce and a sweet butter of some sort that was really delicious Fun vibes inside although it's a small spot, very casual. Service was attentive and great! read more

Fantastic crispy beer battered celery root. Very mild flavor but like a less crunchy potato chip. The wings are average in size but fall off the bone tender and come in some unique flavors like cherry cola bbq. My alcoholic milk shake had no hint of alcohol but was still a fantastic peanut butter chocolate flavor. The steak was meh. Mostly tender. Cut into slices. Nice peppercorn size and okay French fries with some rosemary which adds a nice flavor profile. The roasted Brussels sprouts with it were excellent especially with the Parmesan on top. The chicken skins were salty and fine overall. Very crispy but not too hard. read more

You can tell Good Company is not reheating Sysco food. Everything we had was delicious - pretzels, Bonzo balls, pretzel, and wings. The butter with the pretzel was to die for. Will be back soon. read more

This was my first time at the Cleveland location and the food was equally excellent. The wings really are the best in the area - the meat is super tender, a confit really, and it drops off the bone. Sauces are fantastic. I also had a garden salad that was super refreshing while my friends had a milkshake (yum!) and split the melt and grilled cheese sandwiches. Our server was delightful - you could tell she really cared about our experience. You can provide good service but for her she took real pride in it and really cared about making sure our meal was good. We really appreciated that. Space is pleasant in Battery Park - I think I like the Akron location a touch better, warmer, less industrial feeling but it's not bad just personal preference. Note: be careful on parking they have a few spaces in the narrow street immediately in front of the restaurant but the parking lot around the corner adjacent to battery park is permit only (and you'll be towed!). If the ones immediately in front of the venue are take you need to park further down (west) on 76th. read more

We visit Cleveland once a year and always make sure we visit Good Company. You just won't find better chicken wings. Anywhere. The service is always on point & it's in cute Battery Park. I also love the fried chicken skin, but sometimes they need a little salt... just being honest! read more

BEST WINGS IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.... The $13 is worth it... I PROMISE!!! So I had been hearing a lot about this place and finally decided to give it a try and boy am I HAPPY!!! Our bartender Emma (I hope i remembered correctly) was the sweetest & created such a great vibe! She also helped us pick our wings and even made a special beer for us (10000000/10) it was almost like a michelada! We had the tavern style, pecorino garlic, and dad's hot sauce blend...and when I say they were all DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! I truly do not think you can go wrong.... It was a tough pick but the tavern style wings were the tanks favorite of the 3!!!!! It was so hard not to ask for all of the flavors... but I most certainly will be back soon the try them all!!!!!! I 1000% recommend giving this place a chance, even if it is a "little pricy" for the wings... SO WORTH IT!! read more

Walking into the good company, the vibes are great for a Friday night with diner like tables. Appetizers are on the pricier end, only about $2 cheaper from the main burger. I was told the celery root wasn't that great, but trying the bonzo balls for myself... they were great. Almost like a falafel ball and the sauces were great. The good burger overall was ok. Overall average experience and may come again just for the vibes. read more

Delicious! This was my third time at Good Company, and the best time. I really went for it and ordered the Steak Supper on a Sunday afternoon (it was on special for $19.99). It's an 8-oz steak perfectly served medium-rare with choice of a sauce (I got chimichurri), fries and a seasonal veg (on this day in November, broccolini). It was a substantial serving of rich, buttery, garlicky food and I ate it all (sorry no photos). I'll be back to try another sauce option. It was also my first time trying the famous 72-hour wings and the hype is earned. Very tender, no gnawing at bones required - the meat falls right off. I was also pleasantly surprised by the dry rub. I'm a sauce girl but this had enough flavor to hold its own. The service is good, and I've always loved the color scheme they have going there. Good times with Good Company! read more

Good One burger, Garlic Pecorino Wings, and Fries were some of the best I've ever had. Kitchen was busy and we waited an hour for our food but it was worth it. Kids loved their Kids Meal burgers. read more

Very disappointed - subpar food and ridiculous prices. Sparkling rose was flat and $7 for a basket of fries that were cold and obviously from a bag. I asked for a side of ranch to be able to enjoy them. Never came - but they were willing to take the ranch off my bill. 1 drink, 1 burger, 1 side of fries = $43 read more

Good food and good company, the foundation of any great restaurant. Fortunately Good Company provides ample of both, along with being supremely located in the Battery Park neighborhood, a stone's throw away from Edgewater. Did I also mention that they have a free parking lot? The restaurant is playful but trendy, and manages to appeal to both the sports-fanatic (TVs behind the bar) as well as the friend who's a better person than you that doesn't eat meat. While their dinner sandwiches like the Gabagool are what put them on the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives map, I'm a staunch believer that Good Company's brunch can throw down with the best of them and could potentially be better than their dinner?? The crowd pleasing breakfast burrito comes in both meat and vegan options, and you can even savor their winsome 72-hour chicken wings in the mornings too. Their wings quite literally fall off the bone, and are evenly coated with whatever delectable sauce you choose - don't skip them. Any of their smashburger variants also hits the spot. Not super hungry? Snack on the pretzels or loaded fries. Their desserts and shakes are quite popular and can be packaged to go, but somehow my stomach never quite makes it there. Service-wise, everyone is friendly but not overbearing and generally leaves you be once you order. That's not to say they don't care about the customers - take a look in either of the all-gender bathrooms and you'll see them stocked with feminine hygiene products and even a changing station. read more

There's a lot to like here. I like the casual vibe of the place. And, the service was excellent. My wife and I both ordered the Argentinian steak sandwich. The chimichurri was excellent, and I asked for more on the side. I liked the bun and the toppings. The only problem was that there wasn't very much steak in the sandwich. But, the sides were phenomenal. There weren't as many fries should've been, but they were excellent. I will definitely come back here for the fried chicken skins, if for no reason. Seriously: I might just eat nothing but this next time, and then check myself into a hospital after I have a heart attack. But, it will be totally worth it. They were that good. We came here about a half an hour before closing time, but they were cool enough to let us stay without trying to kick us out. I would definitely come back here again when I have more time. read more

Our server Paulina and the host were so sweet. I had no idea this place was featured on Guy Fieri's list of good places. My party of 4(2adults and 2 kids) enjoyed the specials starting with the Wings. We decided on the sweet and spicy bbq dry rub, the Gabagool with a beef patty which gives Potbelly sandwich vibes, and the Good One. This former alley turned restaurant is special as they have a homemade applesauce for kids. It tastes just like apple pie filling. My 2 y/o ate a hamburger for the first time here. The poppyseed bun did not phase her. I love how everything is made in house and the menu items feel intentional. read more

When a friend sent me the menu, I had to come check it out. Everything looked so interesting and cool but the fried chicken skins is what brought me in. The restaurant isn't located on a busy street or near any foot traffic outside of the local residents so even if you happened to find yourself in the area, you would still almost miss it. I don't eat red meat so I never got the chance to experience pork rinds, but I always wanted to. The skin of baked/fried chicken is probably my favorite part so I was super excited to try the fried chicken skins. They did not disappoint and they came with some really good pickled celery. Our server was very friendly and recommended drinks and food to try. The playlist was on point, and I loved the diner feel of the space. I tried a smoky Mezcal margarita drink with tajin around the rim and a reposado tequila infused with chamomile cocktail. Both were amazing. The wings were so tender and cooked to perfection! They are marinated for 72 hours. I didn't get a chance to try the alcoholic milkshakes they have, but that will be on my list for the next time! read more

Wings were fantastic! Not surprised they're award winning. I've never have wings where the meat was falling off the bone. My favorite was the sweet and spicy bbq rub which gave the perfect combo but not too spicy so I could easily keep eating. Fries came out super crispy on the outside but soft in the inside and the dry hot seasoning on it brought it to a whole different level. read more

I'm a fan of Good Company. I have been a handful of times and my experiences have been positive. My favorite menu item is easily the mushroom burger - ugh, so good. Just typing it makes me want to get one! Heads up that they only do dry rubs for their wings. I have had them once or twice but, no matter how flavorful the rub is, I'm much more of a sauce girl. I have also had a milkshake (yum!) and another dessert (not so yum, but mostly my fault for not trying something I wasn't crazy about). The customer service has been great as well though a bit slow during busy times. There are only a handful of parking spots in front of the building so going to the adjacent lot is usually the best move. Hope you go check it out! read more

We loved Good Company. The food was delicious, the decor was whimsical and the service was good. Good Company is one more reason to love the near west side. Parking is fairly convenient. There is a lot on the side of the building and street parking in front. It is located in an old industrial building, so there is tons of space. I can't say enough about the Shroomer. It was an amazing vegan sandwich. The mushrooms were shredded, the onions were crispy and it had malted pickles. I have never had malted pickles. They were awesome. Our server told us they hired a new vegan chef and now there are several vegan items on the menu. My partner ordered the Good One burger and said it was amazing also. Items are al a carte so we also ordered a basket of fries. It was exciting to see vegan options on their brunch menu and shake menu. It was the perfect dinner before heading to a movie. We will be back! read more

So I'm a little torn between rating this restaurant a 3 Or a 4 The staff was nice but the service was slow. Only 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant. The place was very noisy but overall a good atmosphere. Our food was delicious. Only problem is, everything is à la cart which brought this restaurant from $$ to $$$ This place was on the national TV show diners the diners drive in's and dives. Although enjoyable. Not quite a 4.. the desert menu had 4 items on it. 3 of the 4 were not available. They only had the milkshakes. read more

Great dinner at Good Company. Located in a primarily residential area, there is a private parking lot just around the corner from the entrance. The interior is airy and minimalist style with dark green accents. We started with the Thai chili wings which were fall-off-the-bone tender and the perfect balance of sweet and heat. We also had the seasonal cocktail apple cider margarita. For dinner we had the Good One burger which is plenty to share (or to take half home!). The food came out quickly despite the restaurant being pretty full. I would definitely come back again. read more

Four of us took a chance Saturday. Waited 10 minutes. We started to worry a bit about service as it was taking a while. Our waitress was just plain slow. Drinks finally came. Eventually the wings were next. Thank god, as the wings were the only saving grace cola bbq were awesome. Pecorino garlic were also good. We ordered two good burgers and a melt. All were not good. Murdered. Dry. Over cooked etc. I didn't even finish half, that's how bad it was. My buddy ordered the cheese steak it was good. The other shining star were the fries. Considering we went for burgers, this trip was an epic failure. read more

The wings here are too die for! They are so tender and flavorful. I love the parm with gremolata. The burger with the smashed patties are also delicious and savory.

I stopped by recently while in the area and I am really happy I did. The wings I had were absolutely outstanding! I stopped by while hungry one evening and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was cool and quite helpful. I wasn't super hungry, so I decided to go with some wings. I went with the pecorino and gremalota sauce. The food didn't take long and it came out looking great. If you are a crispy wing person, these wings are not that. They were incredibly tender and flavorful. The sauce was like a pecorino mornay infused with garlic and herbs. It was rich and flavorful. I had asked for blue cheese, and it didn't need it. The blue cheese was very good though. I was really happy with my wings and would definitely order them again. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would return again soon if in the area. Great wings and service. read more

Visited on June 8th at 7 PM. Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by the bartender on duty--believe her name was Emma, a white woman with curly hair. She was noticeably friendly to the woman I was with but incredibly dismissive toward me. It was uncomfortable and even my friend noticed it, which made the experience feel personal and disappointing. That said, Good Company still has a lot going for it. The food is outstanding--the wings might be the best I've had in Cleveland: super crispy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The burger is also top-tier. It's definitely a solid spot to chill with friends or go on a casual date. The atmosphere is cool and relaxed, and aside from this one interaction, the staff usually seem upbeat and welcoming. I'd love to come back and give it another shot, but I hope future visits are more respectful across the board. read more

These folks are consistently ramping up the quality of their food as shown by this recent meal we had. We'd never had the fried celery root "chips", but they really hit the spot as an alternative to fries, and they allowed us to put on whichever wing rub or dipping sauce we wanted! The Good One burger was just perfect with its charred patties, special sauce and interesting bun, and the Thai chili wings were gooey, had a kick and were perfectly crispy on the outside. So glad we finally stepped up and came back to this spot after so many years, and so happy with what they're doing in that kitchen! read more
