They chose the spot, and I'm glad they did! It was Thursday night, opening night of March Madness- and they also had a euchre tournament going on too...at least I think it was euchre? Parking was tough because it was so busy. We were able to get a table for dinner, and Bailey Z was our server. She was great! Friendly, helpful and professional. Never needed to ask for anything because she had it covered. I had a big lunch, and my nephew and brother also had a late lunch so I tried to go "light". Haha Started with a Bloody Mary with no garnishes, asked for some spice and it delivered! They were running a specials menu, so I started with the Reuben egg rolls. Super crunchy, had great flavor, and it had to have been a homemade 1000 island dressing. It was heavenly. My brother went with the Turkey Cobb salad, it was giant, bountiful, and looked really robust. My nephew ordered 20 wings to share with everyone. Half garlic parm, half sweet chili. Blue cheese also seemed to be homemade, I automatically ask for extra and it was worth it. I ordered the French onion soup, and the bacon cheeseburger dip which came with tricolored tortilla chips, seasoned and a perfect vehicle for the dip. Everyone was happy with the food. Too happy, we had leftovers and I have to say that the Reuben rolls and wings were still good as leftovers. It's a good thing I don't live in Syracuse because I'd have been there every weekend. It was packed inside, so we knew it was popular. Thanks to Bailey and the team for a great evening! I'll be back!

Great space enormous indoor bar, outside patio bar, and pavilion for music and events. I met friends to see Arcade, only $5 admission plenty of space, we only wish the pavilion had fans during these hot temperatures. Wait lines for drinks were short and moved quickly. I believe the drafts I ordered were $6 each. Next event I'll have to see what other options are available. Draft beer doesn't keep well in extreme heat. Towards the end of event I went to inside bar ordered a Margarita and ordered the short rib tacos with fries on the special to go. Fries hot and nicely seasoned. I did peek at tacos which had a nice presentation even for a to go order. Upon my attempt at consuming them after returning home, I realized the meat was rare at best, undercooked for this cut of meat. The texture was of raw fatty meat that was unfit to be eaten. Sad they looked so promising other than the to rare meat. They were on the special menu I would have thought meat was prepared ahead of time, marinated and slow cook ed. The meal was $15.95 so I figured it wasn't a huge loss. Hopefully they take those of the menu or prepare differently for future orders. Fun evening, easy getting an uber out of property. Better luck next time with menu items!

With the exception of the woman working behind the bar, I was the only female in the place.

We were greeted by Melissa, a co-owner of the establishment. Ambience was cozy, warm with nice pictures and setting on the wall and a good assortment of rock music ranging from Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac. We ordered two appetizers of the steak fritters (highly recommend) and stuffed tots with bacon and cheddar (again, highly recommend). Both appetizers were incredibly delicious and would absolutely order again. Our main course consisted of a jam covered Gouda burger cooked perfectly with a side of lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles (pickles were VERY good!) and a side of FRESH CUT fries cooked perfectly! The charred bun was a nice touch. The food was a 10/10 as I can't review anything negative about it at all. Melissa did an amazing job balancing her servicing the tables as it was very busy, and made sure to constantly check in on us from time to time to make sure our water glasses were filled and if we needed anything. I give her and her staff a 10/10 for service. The ambience was great overall and was very comfortable. Music playing in the background was very romantic and settling. A great experience for a low key date spot. The owner Melissa said they offer bands sometimes on the weekends, typically a Saturday night. Melissa, if you and your husband happen to read this...keep doing what you're doing! Your food is VERY GOOD, some of the better burgers I've had in this area and your ingredients are outstanding. Was definitely happy to have had the opportunity to experience Cleveland House and we will definitely be back for more! Keep up the great work of

When we arrived, there was a mix up with the seating and their IPad, so we had to wait a couple minutes. But it was not too long of a wait before we were sat. Our waitress was over within a couple minutes to take our drink orders, and like I said we frequent Tully's, so my wife and I ordered our food right then. Being allergic to alcohol, it was nice to see they have a mocktail menu (which I had not seen before), and I ordered a sparkling strawberry lemonade. This drink had a very good flavor to it, with the combination of the lemon with strawberry along with the carbonation. This drink was so good, my wife ended up ordering one too. We ordered mozzarella sticks as a starter, which came to the table relatively fast, and were piping hot. The mozzarella sticks had a nice crunch to them with a great cheese pull. I ordered the buffalo tenders dinner, as I always do. The food was out pretty quickly. The fries were warm, salty, and crispy along with the tenders being nice and crispy. Tully's also has some of my favorite coleslaw, and the one I had with my dinner did not disappoint. My wife ordered the Asian tender dinner, and was crispy and warm like mine. The restaurant had many different games and sports on, with a plethora of college football games and horse racing to catch your attention. Husbands/Boyfriends, just be careful... my attention was on the TVs a lot, and the wife was not too keen on that (peep the attached photo). As per usual, we had a great time and great food while here and definitely will be back. The thing that kind of stunk was the fact they only have shirts that go up to XL (both in store and online), which would not work for a larger person like me.
