Nice place usually, despite being a Dive Bar. Good prices. Only 3 problems:…read more 1) I get cold sores any time I have a shot there. I've watched them, they rarely wash the glasses before passing them to someone else. Health Code Violation. 2) I overheard the bartenders talking. They have a keg of rotten beer they give people they don't like or they want to leave. Health Code AND Liquor Control Violation. 3) I've had my Credit Card "Skimmed" 3 times while I was there. Once again, I watched. Guy sits at the bar by the register and takes pictures of the cards with his phone. I don't think the bartender is an accomplice, but I'm not sure. Get your act together! Before someone reports you! I don't want to see my favorite bar go down for stupid reasons!

I'm not going to say the food was stellar. But it was solid. It was exactly what it claimed to be…read moreand I can't fault them in the least for that. The prices were great and my bartender/servers were very kind and efficient. You could tell they were having a good time. It definitely has a dive bar feel and was comfortable although it was standing room only for the band there that night. Maybe a touch too dark for my liking but that stage was cool and the kitsch was fun

So this bar is one I grew up in, back in the 90s it was The Locker Room, its been like 5 things…read moresince then though! It's not whining any atmosphere awards any time soon but if everyone knew how good the food was, there would be a line down Lost Nation. We went on a Monday night because my aunt had been there and had tried a few things but hadn't had the potato pancakes yet. Our table ordered multiple orders of potato pancakes, stuffed mushrooms and pretzels. Their beer cheese has been taunting me since, it was so good!!!! Really all the food was absolutely delicious. The server we had was great! My aunt said their day time cook/chef is an amazing lady, we didn't meet her this trip but the food was great so I'll trust that! An added bonus to this bar, they use puree instead of syrup in the drinks. There is a berry lemonade that my aunt and grandma ordered that was out of this world! If I was a drinker I'd go back for that! Instead I'm going back to eat my weight in anything they will cover in beer cheese!

So I've been to this place a few times, and there always seems to be tension among the staff. Today…read morebeing St. Pat's Day, I assumed it would be busy. And it was. There was ONE poor female bartender working her not so young butt off serving probably 60 people all alone. At one point another woman showed up, who I later discovered was the owner, and the bartender finally took a minute to sit down, at which point the new bartender told her that if you're going to sit there, just go home. They got in a brief shouting match in front of patrons (which I was told happens frequently) and I saw her on the patio looking so defeated. I told her I saw what happened and told her she was doing great and gave her a nice tip. But that's the last time I will patronize that place after seeing how horribly the owner treats her staff. I see why she was the only one working, probably because no one else will.

The patio has become one of my favorite places to eat and hang with friends. Chef John and his team is amazing. What he comes up with is supurb. So much better than what was there before. Their burgers are huge. The portions are generous. And the taste has me coming back for more. Highly recommended. I see nothing but good things for this place. Oh, and to that other commenter (Angie M). The Willoughby Burger is a blended burger. Meaning the beef patty has the mushroom cooked into it. They hand pack the burgers, it's not processed. It's an amazing blend of Portobello and button mushrooms. It's in the James Beard blended burger contest. And what is so wrong about having male bartenders?

It was interesting. Tasted good. I wouldn't order it again, BUT. I would definitely go back to try other pizzas!! The crust was perfect! I look forward to coming back to try other pizza here!! My friend got the pretzel sticks and they looked amazing!!! Definitely recommend Wild Goose!!!

The best burger in Cleveland like... hands down. This is a dive bar but man is the food there…read moreamazing. When you pull up it looks like a dive from the 1960's or a small Soviet bloc, not many windows and just a square little building, but you come inside and the people are inviting and friendly and the food is out of this world. I got the smash burger onion rings and some loaded tots and it was delicious. Their toilet has an awesome Andrew Warhol version of Misney there which is just a chefs kiss added touch to this place. 5 stars hands down

We were in the mood for a good burger and we saw that this place had been voted "Best Burger in…read moreCleveland!" So we figured we'd try it out! If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.
