We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner - my husband had the Turkey and Dressing which was piled high and very good. I had the Eggplant Parmesan which was piled high, too. The eggplant was crispy just like I like it! Our server was friendly and helpful though they were very busy. The dining room was clean and in good repair. Warm, cozy atmosphere. read more

Lot of my friends recommended here, especially knowing I love to get out to Angry Bull. But this was a hard miss. We went twice in the day, once for lunch and second to see if the steak was a hit and was let down both times. It's down homey elderly vibe is behind the times, place smells like cat pee, rickety floor feels dangerous to my six foot nine self. The food was mid at best, with lunch being better than dinner as the dinner was oversalted beef that was overcooked (how do you ruin rare) that was simply a bad cut of beef and basic sides. For a place known for beef and excellence it felt like it was left in the early 90's and made the flavors fit the age of the patrons. read more

Good service, excellent food and friendly atmosphere at a fair price. Highly recommended. Definitely a five star rating. read more

We enjoy the early bird specials until 5:30 PM. The early bird menu changes monthly. (See attached photo). This month I ordered the grilled chicken with a baked potato. Our server was fabulous. The place was crowded and the parking ample. It's a great restaurant if you have a large party over 10. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I had a lousy dinner served to me by a hostile waitress!! Ugh! The pork chops were a chewy spongy texture. Tasted like freezer burn. When I notified the waitress she walked away. Said virtually nothing. Not even an I'm sorry. Then proceeded to literally glare at me as she was clearing the table. Left there upset. Will not be back. read more

I walked in and there was barely anyone there but yet it took them three hours to find me a table and the food was not worth it at all I definitely do not recommend coming to this restaurant it was terrible it was a horrible first experience I was seriously just hungry and wanted something to eat but it took them three hours to even SEAT me. read more

Good comfort food at very reasonable prices. Lots of daily specials for everyone's appetite. Serving lunch and dinner along with a full bar. read more

Just a great place definitely one of my favorites and usually my first choice to go when I want a great meal

Best prime rib ever! Friendly service! The salmon is really good also! Early bird specials are great for folks with smaller appetites read more

Take out was fantastic. Kids burgers were great size for a kids menu price . Always friendly staff as well

Can't believe I had never noticed this unassuming retro Westlake restaurant. Mahle's accommodated my family's party of about 60 or so after my uncles wake and everything was so good. The atmosphere is very lovely. They have a nice sized party room. The food is so reasonably priced and was amazing! We had salad, bread, roast beef, shrimp scampi pasta, mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was incredibly good. The mashed potatoes and shrimp pasta were my favorite. The bread hot and so fresh. Truly everything was wonderful. The servers were so kind and attentive. Our server Mary was wonderful and so was the kind blonde lady helping with out buffet. They got us one more glass of wine, even though they were technically closing. They made a rough, sad day for everyone a bit brighter. Would love to come back for dinner sometime and try the menu items. read more

We have been going here for years. Last night we went and it was terrible. This is the second time we have had terrible service(by the same waitress). But the food last night was horrible. I had salmon and it tasted as though they boiled it! My friend ordered the turkey pot roast. It looked like a piece of burnt dark brown lump of meat with 4 carrots in watered down gravy. She did not eat it and complained to the waitress but ended up paying for her meal and taking the meat home for the dogs. The wsitress never asked if we wanted anything to drink and was very nasty when we called her over. Another party at the next table left without getting their order. I think it will be a long time before we think of going here again! read more

The restaurant is closed. No sign on door. Saturday 5:30 pm and the entire lot is empty and doors locked. Too bad.

Excellent food (prime rib is my fav), cocktails, ambiance and service. Fresh fish always well prepared and delicious. Never disappointed!

Mahle's is a classic sit down, relax and take your time kind of a place. It probably isn't for you if you're looking to get in/out quickly. The server was excellent, our three courses came out slowly to allow for great conversation and an enjoyable time was had by all! The food was excellent as well. (All 5 of us had pasta dishes that were cooked to perfection!) Mahle's is a wonderful break from today's hectic lifestyle! read more

First time here and wow it's good food! I got the ribs and they were so tender and cooked perfect,, the desserts were very good too!! The only thing that I felt bad for was there was 2 waitresses for the entire side of restaurant and they were running their butts off,, she apologized to us multiple times for the delay in food and drinks, but it wasn't her fault they are short staffed,, I would highly recommend this place for dinner!! Make reservations because it gets packed with all the older crowd regulars,, read more

Have only been here for lunch. Food and service is great. Prices are very reasonable and the food type is what I would call comfort food. Try the steak salad for lunch read more

The prime rib here is beyond delicious! The food, the staff and warm atmosphere keep me coming back.

I love this place for lunch, very reasonable prices and good service. It's kind of retro without trying to be, sort of the place you would take your parents to and everybody would be happy. Full bar with reasonably priced drinks. They even made a perfect martini with Gray goose. Just tried it for dinner yes the prices are higher but the offerings are more extensive. I only noticed a dollar up charge for dinner for the same items that were on the menu. Our server Lauri could not have been more professional and perfect. If you want a trendy, expensive place try somewhere else. They've been doing it right for 25 years here. read more

Just had the most delicious steak dinner with scalloped potatoes. Celebrating the new year with good friends. Our server, Mary, was delightful and efficient. Happy new year to the staff at Mahle's and to all our family and friends! read more

Why the low rating? I don't know where to begin. My wife and I joined a group in our community who once a month organize a dinner at a different restaurant. We know, from both personal and professional experience, that large group dining is a challenge for restaurants and those dining. We recognize that the service may be a little slower than normal and there can be confusion. To mitigate this, as it often the case for large group dining, our group of nearly 30 pre-ordered our entrées from a selection of four items. Seated at a table of 8, as luck would have, it we were the last to place drink orders and to confirm our entrée orders. When (almost) all of the entrées at our table were served, the kitchen failed to mark the temperatures on each of the steak entrées. When one person cut their steak and took a bite she told our server that steak was cooked to a medium well temp and she ordered medium. Another person at our table cut her steak and said that it was cooked medium and not medium well. RATHER THAN TAKE BOTH PATRONS PLATES BACK TO THE KITCHEN AND WITHOUT DISCUSSION, THE SERVER PULLED THE PLATE OUT FROM UNDER THE FORMER PERSON, TOOK IT TO THE LATTER PERSON AND USED THE PATRON'S FORK TO SWITCH STEAKS!!! AFTER HAVING REQUESTED MORE BREAD TWICE, WITH NONE DELIVERED, WE REMINDED OUR SERVER, AT WHICH POINT SHE WENT TO ANOTHER TABLE AND ASKED IF THEY NEEDED THEIR UNEATEN BREAD AND SET DOWN AT OUR TABLE!! THAT IS TWO STATE HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS!! Oh, and my entrée was only delivered after everyone in our entire group had eaten half of their meal. My vegetables were cold and the baked potato was half cooked. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to my server she uttered not a word of apology, but rather said "this is not my fault, it is the kitchen's fault." To add insult to injury, there was an automatic gratuity of 15% added to the bill!, When I brought all this to the attention to the manager his reply was that he was very upset by the actions of the server and that he would deal with it. However, he did not so much as to even offer to waive the gratuity charge! read more

What good food at Mahle's. Just when you think the menu couldn't be more diverse your waitress will offer several more specials. We had a great time with family and everyone enjoyed their meal. The food is excellent and the prices are fair. Mahle's is the best kept secret. read more

Best prime rib we had the other food was great the service was great server was very friendly and great place was very nice

Mahle's does have an older clientele but it does offer a wide range of offerings that I think everyone should be happy,They offer lots of specials nightly and this particular night they had veal chop that was very good, wait staff will do there best,reasonably priced with family on premises read more

Mahle's Restaurant and Lounge - Veal chop - New American Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

Mahle's is a restaurant in Westlake on Detroit Rd. that has been around since maybe as early as the 70's. It caters to an older crowd and probably not so much the Milennials. It appears that the customers are long time regulars that the employees are familiar with. Went here on Easter with my mother who wanted prime rib. Called in advance and they did have prime rib. As we entered the restaurant, it appeared relatively dated, and looked like it had not been remodeled since it opened decades ago. After a few moments we were seated in the dining room and given menus. The menu was an abbreviated menu for Easter that had American and some Italian entrees, all of them pretty standard dishes. The one exception was the Italian sausage stuffed pepper as an appetizer. Entrees included chicken parmesan, veal parmesan, filet, NY strip, and lamb chops. My mother and I both ordered the same dish. Prime rib, side salad, and baked potato. Presentation of everything was excellent and there was only a short wait for food. My big disappointment was that the prime rib needed more salt. I also noticed we were the only ones in the dining room eating the prime rib, so maybe that was not one of they're specialities. Based on the rest of the customers, it seems like most are highly satisfied with the food and are regulars. Wait staff was seasoned and efficient. Unfortunately because of the prime rib, I only give it 3.5 stars, possibly we ordered something that they are not seasoned in preparing. Based on other entrees that I saw coming out of the dining room and other Yelp reviews, I plan to return and check out some other menu items. read more

This spot has the best food and the best service of anywhere I know. They have great steak, and seafood too. The salads are very good, and very ample. They always have a lot of seafood on the menu and I like the stuffed shrimp a lot. But the grouper is good too. I have not tried a lot of the other seafood specials. When you eat at this place, you feel like you are with your family. All of the wait staff is very nice and friendly and there are so many regulars - it's fun to just be there and watch the interactions. One of those places where everybody knows your name. They have a nice pour on the wine, not a place where they seem to be measuring every drop they pour into your glass. It's a place that is actually relaxing when you go out. You get a very nice meal for a reasonable price and an enjoyable experience too! I hope to go there enough to become a regular too! Oh -- and I have been to a couple of group events there too... Family parties and they did a great job with the service. read more

Love this neighborhood location with great prices, very good food, daily specials and always friendly and helpful service. Chicken Dumpling soup is wonderful. Many regulars for both lunch and dinner. We have never been disappointed. Almost like eating a home cooked meal at grandparents house. read more

Quality 4/5 Service 5/5 ambiance 5/5 Value 4.5/5 I've come here twice and will be coming again if I get sent out from California again. The quality here is pretty good. The blackened walleye is cooked well. The texture isn't too dry or too raw - just right. The flavour is rich on the side of salty. If salty ain't your thang just brush off some of the blackened part and you're good. The second time I've been here I had the porterhouse veal. It was delicious w the red wine sauce. My only complaint was there wasn't more, but I probably couldn't have finished it if there was anyways. The garlic butter noodles were amazing. It's not overly garlic or overly buttery until you get to the last few bites. Think of it like ice cream, the last few bites are blanketed in sauce. The house salad was a typical salad mix but their sweet and sour dressing was good. It wasn't rich or creamy like thousand island, but rather consistency of vinaigrette. It was light and sweet flavour like watered down honey mustard so was a great way to whet my appetite for the actual meal. Oh. The bread. It comes w a light whipped butter. I love ice cream. Their ice cream pie dessert is great as well. The picture is of the chocolate, but I had both chocolate and coconut. I'd say the coconut is better (less of a fan of chocolate and cool whip and more of a coconut crumble). I don't know how exactly to describe it other than delicious. Think light ice cream pie w a crumbling crust. The waitresses (Maureen) and owner (Beverly) were the epitome of midwestern hospitality. I came from out of state and stood out like a sore thumb. They were welcoming and you can have a decent genuine conversation. My second time back they remembered me and everything (a week and a half in between). Extremely friendly staff. The place feels like home almost. Actually more like grandmas house for a thanksgiving dinner. It's warm and inviting with some homey touches around (old photos and chimney for one). Meals were not the cheapest but you pay for the quality. Fresh catch fish + a glass of wine + dessert will run you around $35. Not too bad in the grand scheme of it all and you'll leave full. I left feeling like I ate 25 McNuggets after everything. read more

Garbage !! would not feed this to my dog. i should have known not to go back there. the first time we went there my steak was over cooked (medium not burnt) so we figured ok lets try there again mabye it was a off night. mistake #2. this time i orderd a 12 oz steak medium to medium well it came out more like mediunm ok not bad i can deal with that til i tried to cut into it the first 3oz was solid fat so i cut it off and put it aside the other end was about 2 oz of fat (not edible) the waitress reluctantly took it away then came back with it told me the manager said all steak has fat. NEVER OFFERED TO REPLACE IT but asked if i wanted a dessert instead. are you F*C#KING KIDDING ME !! manager never came out. but stayed over at the bar. so i spent $18.00 on garbage food and service AND LEFT THERE HUNGRY (I WILL NEVER EVER EAT OR RECOMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE EVER !!! if your name ever comes up as a place to eat i will tell people to AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE !!! read more

So very disappointed in our visit this evening. We were a group of 40 who had a choice of 5 menu items and alerted the restaurant of the choices before our reservation tonight, so everything should have been ready for us. There were 5 tables and our table happened to be in the middle so we were told that we would have 2 servers so they could split the room. That didn't happen, so our table was treated like the red headed step-child. Our group started arriving at 5:30 and the last people showed at 6:00. At 6:20, we still didn't have a server to take our drink order. Finally, when drinks arrived, 2 people got Long Island iced teas and they were vastly different. One was loaded with Coca-Cola and the other wasn't. We were brought a plate of bread and butter at 6:30. Once everyone took a piece, there were 2 left. We asked for more bread, waited awhile and nothing happened. Our salads finally came in an awkward way, with one server delivering salads and the other handing out small containers of salad dressing. The salad was just bagged salad with one cherry tomato and one slice of cucumber. We again asked for bread, so our server (Mary) walked over to another table and asked if they were going to eat their bread and since they said no, she brought it to us. Do I need to say HEALTH CODE VIOLATION? We couldn't believe it. Food finally started coming out, and of course all other tables were half done eating before ours came out. 5 people at our table had steak and the server didn't know how the steaks were cooked and just started handing them out. One guest had prepared her baked potato with butter and sour cream, and then cut her steak and ate a piece and said that it was well done and she wanted medium. The server took her plate to the other end of the table and told that guest that they needed to switch plates. When told about the potato, she took a fork and picked up the steak and told the guest to switch it with the other one. OMG! I can't believe this happened in a restaurant. My salmon was bland, the vegetables were stone cold and the baked potato was only warmish. My husband had ordered the pork chop and his meal wasn't delivered until we were 80% done with our meals. We twice asked the server where his meal was and instead of being apologetic, she announced that it wasn't her fault, but the kitchens fault. Again, OMG, this isn't really happening. We asked if there were any dessert choices because we weren't offered any as they just brought our check. Our server yelled over to the other server to tell us the desserts. They clearly didn't want us to order dessert, coffee, or drinks. Who does that??????? My husband had enough and went and spoke to the manager, who apologized, recognized there were health code violations and said he would talk to the server. To top it all off, there was a mandatory gratuity. This server deserved nothing with her awful attitude and service. The manager would do nothing for us and has totally lost any future business from us, our family and friends, as we will be sure to spread the word. Run away as fast as you can. read more

I haven't been there in over a year and it's as good as I remember. Service was good although they are understaffed. The food was good and delivered good value. Tomorrow if you're expecting a great steakhouse you'll be disappointed but if you're expecting good food for a good price this is the place for you. read more

Upon walking in there's a few things you'll notice. This place is old and outdated. The decor needs a fresh update. The cliental is aged 60+. But it's worth checking out as a lunch spot, or maybe even a quiet, cheap, dinner. It took me a while to warm up to it. My first time here the bartenders seemed cranky that a 20 something year old, non-regular bar guest would even sit at the bar. They seemed rude and uninviting. I felt out of place. But the food is cheap, and good. It's Flavorful, with large, filling portions. Extensive menu choices and multiple daily specials always kept me from deciding what I want and kept me coming back. Finally, after maybe the 3rd visit, the bartenders warmed up to me. Im a regular now. They know my drink. They invited me to join their lunch club. They are friendly and attentive. The value alone of this restaurant is worth checking out, even if you're in the younger age bracket. The food has a classic mom and pop, down to earth, home cooked meal taste and the price is so cheap, it makes it so worth it. I encourage you to give it a try. Don't let the outdated, old person vibe discourage you! read more

Mahles restaurant is the "Cheers" of Westlake. The food is excellent, consistent and affordable. It is an independent, family run operation that treats each customer like family. It's nice to have lunch or dinner where you are treated well, the food is excellent and the staff is great. It's not a sports bar. You can catch a score but the restaurant is geared towards cocktails, conversations and a great meal. read more

Went for a work function and even with a group of 50 people, the service was great. The room we had looked great. The food was superb. I would recommend to anyone. Dislike: If you are going to serve shrimp on a pasta, take the tails off. read more

I've been here several times over the past 7 years and haven't been let down. The atmosphere inside is very classy and relatively quiet. The service is exceptional. There aren't many places anymore where the staff attempts to get to know you and greets you by name. They are so friendly here! The food is outstanding. I love the Lake Erie Perch, although I haven't been disappointed by a dish here ever. It's a slightly older crowd here. I was taken by my parents, and it remains a favorite go-to place of theirs since their first time. I will keep coming back! read more

From what we could tell when we pulled up, there was no wheelchair ramp so we could not eat here because my mom was in a wheelchair. Too bad, really because we really wanted to try it. I wonder how much business they lose because they aren't wheelchair accessible (or, if they are, it's hidden and needs to be more visible.) read more

I met some friends here for dinner. After reading the reviews about this place, I had concerns. It does cater to an older crowd. The menu reflects this. Most items harken back to an earlier time... like 1970. Some of the items were done well. Fried pickles tasted like they were made on site and were a bit spicy. The side salads and house dressing were good. Pasta dishes seemed good. My grilled seafood platter had issues. The lobster tail was very good. The stuffed shrimp were ok. The scallops were the most rubbery scallops that I have had in years. Then there was a piece of fish that was a mystery as to its origin. Orange roughy? It was inedible, rubbery. We did not stay for dessert, although some of the items looked good. Just before 9 PM the restaurant was about half full, with most diners having left before 8 PM. We were essentially asked to leave by the waitress - it doesn't close until 10 PM. I can't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I ordered food at 5:30. They waited until 8:15 to cancel my order! This is the 3rd time this has happened. If they don't want to sell food through Grubhub they should just disconnect from the service. What a bullshit move every time I have tried to order from them they have done the same thing. Someone must be too lazy to put the order together. Makes me wonder about what else they are lazy about! Never again! Hope they just close their doors and save everyone the ass ache! read more
