Pretty good bar food here. It was music trivia night (Thursday) cool concept. People seemed nice and it was clean for a bar I suppose. We had perch BLT, chicken fingers and perch tacos. All real good! The sweet potato fries were great as well. Staff was friendly and for being busy food was out quick. Looking forward to new location in Broadview hts it needs it! read more

Came here with some friends and I'm truly disappointed in the service here. When we first came in we were excited because they were playing great music that we could dance to. We never got approached to get our drink orders nor did we get great service. We waited a good 20 minutes before we even got noticed. When we got here we went to the bar and we saw that there was a bar back guy not really doing anything but looking at his phone. I asked him a question about their food and he totally ignored me. The guy that was sitting next to me even did a nervous laugh because he even noticed how rude this employee was. In addition, my husband just told me his experience and how the dark hair'd bartender looked at him directly in the eye and he tried to order from her but ignored him and went to someone else to take their order. He was waiting for 40 minutes to order some drinks and was being patient like he usually is, which is truly upsetting. A blonde bartender than noticed the situation and took my husband's drink order. So if you want to get crappy service and disappointing food, feel free to come here and waste your money. My group and I are truly disappointed with this first time experience here. I'm starting to think that you have to be intoxicated here to actually have a good experience. read more

Islander Bar & Grille - Black & Blue Burger - Bars Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Service service service It was a slow weekend but they definitely took great care of me. It was during NBA All-Star weekend I hit up this place with my plus one. It was my 1st time there so I basically tried a lil of everything on the menu. We ordered the spinach dip, veggie burger, wings "which were 50%", and Rueben with turkey. Everything was amazing and fresh and hot. The cook even came out and check on us to see if we were enjoying our meals. I'll definitely be coming back again for that Rueben and those wings. The bartender was kinda witty but I assumed he was being cute but he stay on us and didn't make us wait for anything. read more

Islander Bar & Grille - Nite cap - Bars Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

This place hasn't changed even years later, a little remodeling but it's still the same bar I want to nine years ago... the food was good. Long islands are my drinks, but not everyone can make them strong but also good. You tend to get one or the other. Over all I had a great time catching up with an old friend. read more

Awesome spot, hard to find / hidden places like this are the best! Great selection of beers on tap, nice crowd mix, and good food. Super clean and well kept. The worst part about this place is that it's in Ohio ! Go Blue!!! read more

This is right in my neighborhood. It's a place that always feels comfortable when you get there. They have fantastic bar fare for food and a great beer selection including many craft beers. It's always crowded in the evenings, especially on weekends which shows they are doing something right. They also have a music trivia night on Thursday nights, I believe. Only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is the parking can be a little difficult on a busy night, but just park in the next plaza and walk your ass over! You will burn off the calories you are bound to consume when you arrive! Has that neighborhood bar feeing which is always nice. read more

I go here often now. Pulled in due to nothing around open. Well I am a fan since Bartenders waitress one of the same. All beautiful ladies work together. I do mean beautiful all of them. Inside and out hood service and the food is awesome so us the price. Check out daily specials and happy hour. Try clam strips the best around and I would know I'm from New England. Soups are always amazing. Steak. Sandwiches. Just go. You will be glad you did read more

A $10 off coupon brought us here. I really wanted to like this place, but immediately upon leaving, got really nauseous. My daughter wanted to return for Happy Hour (or for Taco Tuesday), but told her she can go back there on her own, sry I def will NOT. Too bad bcuz service was somewhat good n food seemed okay going down til my tummy rejected it. Not sure what was the root cause? Clearly a local joint. Again, I really wanted to like this place. Oh well, there are way too many food options in this area to choose from, but Ty for sending me the $10 off coupon anyway tho. read more

I have been going to the Islander now and then for 20 years. Be advised the wings are NOT what they used to be. Waited a ridiculous long time for barmaid to acknowledge me (I am a female, maybe that's why) then waited a ridiculous long time to get 6 wings to go. The Garlic Parmesan wings were burnt, and nothing like they used to be! ( They used to be smothered in garlic, butter and parmesan) Could barely taste any of that there was so little on there. The barmaids were friendly and nice, so still got a tip of course. Will not be going back. read more

My wife & I go to this place 2-3 times a week for either lunch or cocktails after work. We enjoy it immensely ! Friendly owner,Chad Great Cook,Jeff Nicest & best looking bartender in town,Joee Can't recommend this place enough !! read more

Came here for the burger. I heard it was awesome. Since I wasn't a local, I got some really crappy ass drinks and attitude. I watched the lady next to me getting full glasses of kettle one, while I got a shot of bottom shelf vodka in a tall glass of water. The burger was sub par. You spend all this time advertising "hand made patties", and then serve it on some garbage ass bread that I can only imagine you found in a dumpster behind walmart. Guess I should be thankful for the glass of vodka water (minus the vodka) that I got with my meal. read more

I don't understand the low rating here. Beer specials are awesome. Food is amazing. We are from Nashville and ate here twice while in Cleveland. Fantastic ribs, quesadillas, stuffed mushrooms, even the fries tasted really good. If you want some good food at a reasonable price check this place out! read more

Ptomaine poisoning heaven. Don't eat here and service is bad. Ordered a well done burger and got raw meat.

Ask for Rachel. Food is always great. The local shit holes are always the gems in the ocean. 110% will make another visit! read more

Islander Bar & Grille - BUFFALO CHICKEN WRAP WITH TOTS - Bars Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Pretty below average. Service started ok and plummeted from there. Luckily another server (or bar back) stepped up. So, what was wrong....no mayo on BLT, buffalo chicken was not breaded as specified on menu, no blue cheese on buffalo chicken (again, on menu), refills on kids drinks not done and waited for beer for a long time. Food was blah. I guess a place to drink, at least that is my interruption. Pretty simple stuff they could not get right, sure it happens more often than not. Plus a bit pricey for bar food! Better food, service and value is out here. read more

Haven't been here in years, but service and food was great tonight. Music is a little loud, but we enjoyed most of it. Great salad, and wings.But, after we got our food, service went down hill a bit read more

Islander Bar & Grille - Bars Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Great food , not your typical bar food only outta of a deep fryer, a definite step above . hats off to the chef and his staff. Had the western grilled chicken sandwich with side of coleslaw. Never a disappointing meal. A great local spot for lunch during the work week. read more

Been a regular customer there for almost 2 years and tip them always well , I know everyone there . if you were to pushed down to the ground and thrown out for doing nothing , it's your bar. He is not even employee there who threw me out. Some people think they own this bar but they don't. Remember people Chad own this bar NOT you , I pity on them. Have fun with your little sad and pathetic life. If you don't know how to treat other people you shouldn't be in the bars. Be in your own little locker room smh. Most of the bartenders are very friendly except one or two. They don't care about regulars. I still recommend this bar except few issues. Learned my lesson. I have self respect , this is not the first time I had been disrespected in this establishment. I will take my business someplace else. read more

I'm not a picky eater but the food is dry and tastes just okay. The fact that I was really hungry before I got my food makes me wonder if the food was actually alright. The bartender was very nice though even though she had to serve like 15-20 people at the restaurant by herself. read more

Hi, if you're a regular customer and love to be treated like a non tipper hole in the wall sleaze bag piece of shit, this place is for you. I'm a regular here and have given my share for quality service but Jesus hell tonight was my last straw. Ordered a pizza and was told ok, 15 min later was told pizza maker was down. I said ok just give me wings. Those came out cold and was asked if all was alright? This place has gone downhill and the owner is to blame. Chad needs to learn that his staff is greater than his wallet. I've had better service wiping my ass with 1 ply after a taco night. Pull your shit together!!! read more

If you don't know about this place, you probably drive by it all the time! I found this place through Groupon. I have been there 3 times now in the past 6 months. I always order the burgers and an appetizer. Sometimes the bar area can get busy, I've only been there for lunch hours. I haven't had any problems with ordering food, I came to find out you do have to be a bit patient when it comes to getting your food, but its well worth it. I haven't tried anything bad on their menu from the times I have been there. If you havent tried this place look up on Groupon for their vouchers. I guarantee you'll come back to this place for more! I recommend their California turkey burger and their honey glazed sweet potato fries! read more

We decided to give the Islander a go as we were in the mood for some bar food and saw a Groupon for it.The decor was inviting and fresh, if a tad dimly lit. Our waitress was kind, personable and attentive, even though she was tending bar as well. The chef/runner who delivered our food seemed genuinely interested in whether we enjoyed it/had everything we needed. However, the best thing about the Islander Bar and Grill was the food. Easily some of the best bar food I've ever had, we tried the chicken tenders (appetizer), spinach and artichoke dip (appetizer), cheeseburger with bacon and a seafood flatbread. The tenders were HUGE and perfectly breaded and fried, the spinach and artichoke dip was tasty and well-proportioned. My wife's burger was excellent even without condiments, the beef was juicy and the bun seared to perfection. The bacon was really thick and tasty, I'd definitely recommend adding bacon to your burger. The seafood flatbread was also very good, with plenty of shrimp, scallops and lobster meat topping a well-seasoned, cheesy crust. The only thing we weren't impressed by was the tortilla chips that came with the spinach dip. A minor complaint, for sure. Altogether, we both agreed we would absolutely come back to the Islander with or without a groupon in the future. 5/5 read more

Terrible bartender that was an a$$ to me and argued with me about applying cash to a bill and said it was not possible once the tab was paid however I never asked for them to run it. Long story short watch what you tip them because I chose $0 and they added themselves a $22 tip anyways. I will never be going there again and I do not recommend anyone else ever go there either. Drinks are way overpriced and customer service is terrible. His exact words when I said he will not get a tip was "I don't give a shit". Now it is clear why he did not care because they just add it after you leave. read more

Terrible customer services overall. Took twenty minutes for anyone to even come and take our order, and then well over an hour for the food to arrive. Sat at the table with no refills on drinks, and was ignored when I went to the bar to get refills. Food was okay, but customer service ruined the entire experience. read more

If you are not okay with the locals only dive bar-type atmosphere, I can see why this would not be the place for you. It is narrow, dimly lit, there were more than a couple day drunks around the bar, and the service is not...effusive. I couldn't care less about all that- so I said lunch on. We were pleasantly surprised by the food quality. My sandwich had fresh, plentiful topics (grilled onions and peppers), was well seasoned, large and came with a side of hand cut truffle fries. My friend had a seafood quesadilla that had large pieces of fresh grilled shrimp. The $2 beer of the month was a solid Oktoberfest (win!). Fair prices and some decent happy hour specials. I'd return if I were in the mood for bar food and in the area again. 3.5 stars. read more

I'm writing this post in complete dismay as I have been to this location a few times, and though the service had been a little slow it was an acceptable time. Last night I went there for their Taco Tuesday with a couple of friends and sat at the bar. The first problem I had was having to wait to get a drink, when all three tenders looked at me but didn't come over to ask if I was in need for anything. I had to take call and stepped outside for 10 minutes, and upon my return my friend stated that they were unable to procure me a beverage as well as they were not able to order food either. After a few more minutes of waiting one of the tenders make their way over to take the drink order to which we decide to place our food order too. While placing our order the tender wanted to place it all on one ticket to which we stated that we're paying separately and to put them in that way. Then after a decent amount of time one order of ours comes out, after waiting (for what seems to be) about 5 minutes I begin to time for how long the remainder of our orders will. At the 13 minute mark of the timer, the second taco order comes out and at this moment I raise my hands to the tender in reference of "What is going on?" which she states "Listen, you wanted to place them separately and they're going to take a moment." and I decide to keep mouth shut because I have yet to receive my order. After 26 minutes on the timer my food finally arrives, I do enjoy. As our night wraps up I request to talk with the manager where the tender informs me that they do not have a manager at night but she can assist with. I recant the events and she asks "So do you want me to comp a drink for the inconvenience?" to which I was shocked by the non-concern by how everything has gone down. I state that everything's fine and that I'll just take my check, which she does take a drink off. I feel that the fact that there's no manager at night to talk with customers about their experience and address any issues is a fault in management, the fact that people are there for their specialty meal and it takes an exuberant amount of time for them to get it to the customers is outlandish, and the overall lack of concern by the employees about the satisfaction of their customers is failure by the entire organization. I will not state that I will never be back but it is going to be a long time as I feel that at this moment they are more concerned about the trivia crowd than the people that are coming in for the specials. read more

Poor service during the week stopped for something to eat and the bar was to busy taking care of regulars to stop and ask what I would like to eat. patron dropping f bombs constantly. First beer was served in a chipped glass. Weekends during the day I always had good service. Stay away during the week. read more

I went to this place with a bunch of colleagues on a Friday night and I was wondering why I never came here earlier. The place is extremely reasonably priced and the service is pretty decent. read more

This place is so over rated. I don't know how this place manages to stay so packed on the weekends, but somehow it does. There's a nice sized bar, pool tables, food, music and people, but somehow it doesn't come together for me. Maybe it's the fact that it's the same people that go here all the time, I don't know. Or the fact that everyone there can be a little closed off and the ones who are friendly, you wish they weren't. Can we say 'creepy old(er) men?' Anyway, there are undoubtedly better options in the area. read more

I've been here a few times with my girlfriend. It's basically one of the same copy-and-paste bar and grills you'll find in Strongsville (Panini's, Bilo's, Cleets, etc.). Not that there's anything wrong with that... it just has no personality or character. The food is normal and the service is normal... nothing impressive but nothing offensive. A good place to go with co-workers, either for a workday lunch or a beer after work. read more

Cant believe there's not a review here yet. Visiting from Dallas an still the same after all these years. Very local crowd, but good people. Cheap drinks, great Philly, pool tables but uuugh drop the country from the jukebox. read more

Rachel the bartender , hands down awesome bartender !!! Had the seafood flatbread and an app ! It was great all cooked perfect great tasting food . I eat out 6 days a week and know good food this place rocks ! Cold beer good food great people ! read more

This neighborhood bar has the best wait staff around. One bartender can take care of the whole place and still be on top of everything. They have a very good selection of bar food and the portion sizes are large. What I like is that they with make adjustments to your order. They aim to please. Their seafood quesadilla is outstanding and stuffed full of seafood. The sauce they put on top is zesty and sooo......good. The place may not be fancy (a little old and dark) but the food is good and the staff is friendly. They have 1/2 appetizers at happy hour. read more
