2+ people at bar. Weak drinks. Slow attention to customers. (Manager guy walking around w/tv remote doing nothing) Had to ask for check from another person. Its bar food, nothing special. Must be out of town travelers, because the food is unremarkable.... not a covid issue. read more

I really tried to like this place because it brought back memories of working long hours and going out with friends and eating a panini after. Like the other reviews, I have to agree that the food is just not that good. I ate here all weekend because it was the only restaurant near my hotel. We had: Panini, Santa Fe wrap, stuffed potato skins, Reuben & corned beef. Food isn't nasty it's just not seasoned well and the sandwiches are dry. The to-go service was pretty good accept the last night so no real issue there. It's just the food is bland and less than average. read more

Came to spend the afternoon watching Browns game. Nice selection of beers and many options for appetizers we shared Bavarian pretzels and queso, buffalo dip and chips and tri colored chips and salsa. Our server was super attentive and made sure we were fine. She knew there to watch the game and checked on beer and food. Few hours later ordered linner..philly cheesesteak and fresh cut fries, egg. Cheese and bacon paninis and a corned beef paninis. Enough food for lunch tomorrow. Nice crowd cheering on the browns and enjoying beer and good food. Great place to catch multiple games read more

I wanted to like this place better than I did. Its relatively new, spacious and nicely decorated. They spent some money to build this place, cleary. With a name like Panini's, I was expecting an emphasis on food...of some sort. When I walked through the door it wasn't delicious smells that assaulted the senses, it was the awful music. The exterior says 2015 but the music says 1977. I asked my waitress for the house specialty....well, the panini's of course she said. You can choose two things to put in the sandwich...cheese steak, turkey, etc. The picture shows french fries are stuffed inside this "pannini". I said what the heck, give me the cheese steak and hard salami option. Keep the fries inside...we'll give that a shot. Sigh. About four and half minutes later (wow, that was fast!) I got this sandwich that looked like something I make at home with ingredients from Kroger. White french bread (pre-sliced) and re-heated cheese-steak? meat and some coleslaw (the kind you buy in a bag at Kroger). None of it had any flavor at all. Except the hard salami. I swear it was the Kroger brand....which was awesome because I do like that on crackers and have some in refrigerator right now. However this sandwich....wow....just no. My expectations are now properly re-set. Expect mid, to low-level bar food. Skip the panini's. read more

Panini's Bar and Grill - Behold! The cheese steak and salami panini! - New American Near Me - Stow, Ohio

I love coming to Panini's in Stow! Whether it be for an after work or weekend drink off their seasonal cocktail menu (my personal favorite is the Paloma) or for dinner after our volleyball games it never disappoints. Service and food are always excellent, we especially love to go when Toni is working because she's always just an amazing time! Highly recommend!!! read more

Waited over a half hour here and never even saw a server to take our drink order. Other tables were getting served, we were being ignored for some reason? Won't be back. read more

The Stow location follows suit with the other Panini's I have been to: Good food and drink but sooooooo slow. What I liked about this location was their inside/outside patio. This would be a great spot to just hang out and consume some drinks and then maybe you wouldn't notice that it took over 20 minutes to get your sandwich. read more

Panini's Bar and Grill - Turkey overstuffed sandwich - New American Near Me - Stow, Ohio

HUGE sandwiches wih fresh ingredients. Great atmosphere and friendly wait staff. Came in after work on a Tuesday wasn't too busy but a steady flow. Food was fresh, hot and TIMELY. read more

3 stars is a solid rating when the subject is a multi location restaurant with this kind of format (standard bar food menu, focus on booze vs food, sports bar vibe). That aside, the service was very good, the food decent, prices okay, and the place was tidy. Nothing bad to speak of. Had a house salad, bowl of chili, and SW style chicken wrap. Ya know what? I don't need to be amazed every time I eat at a restaurant. Okay is, well, okay sometimes. I'd go back again for those times when I just need to eat and run. They did a nice job at what they do. read more

The food was on god busting... (respectfully) SHEEEEEESHH!! would like to give a big shout out to our very lovely waitress... she had the best personality out of all them waitresses... she be making the barnesville rox baseball team act up... thank you and i definitely recommend any baseball team to come here... read more

Super clean an friendly place. We sat at the bar. Very attentive service. The food was good, hot and fairly priced. BUT you should drive your butt to Pgh and go to primanti brothers where you can eat a real sandwich and watch a real football team. read more

Terrible service. Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Then waited 20 minutes to get a burger, wrap and soup and salad. Offered to take care of our drinks and said to get one more. So we did. They charged us for the drinks, the food, everything. Apologized but honestly the worst service ever. read more

Thursday night after work and had the evening to myself which is rare with a toddler. Walked into a full bar and, having heard bad things from friends, figured I'd be in for a poor experience. Not at all the case. It did take a couple minutes to get the bartender's attention, but she was rolling solo with about 30 seats full, so that's to be expected. No Great Lakes Octoberfest on tap, so settled for a vanilla porter which was yummy. The staff worked well as a team since the bar was swamped. Ordered food and it came out quick and hot and tasty. My beer ran out and there was Kelly Jo with a freshly tapped Octoberfest before I even asked. Friendly staff, great bartender, good food. Sounds like 5 stars, right? read more

Here for a party with about 60 people. The restaurant is clean and well managed. They are totally accommodating. The food is amazing and the drinks are perfect. Nobody has any complaints. read more

Eating lunch with 6 co-workers. Sat us next to patio where they are jackhammering the patio. We were told it would only be 10 minutes. It lasted the entire time while service was horrible. Food is good if you are willing to wait. read more

Panini's is your typical bar and grille. The food is good, the beers are the same as every other restaurant, and the service is average. It's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about. It's just Panini's. The Steele's Corner location does have a nice patio though, which is great for watching sports games. In the winter, they can even close the garage doors on part of the patio as well, which is also nice. I went here with my parents the other day and ordered a few appetizers while we watched the Tribe play. The server was good for as busy as they were, and we sat outside on the patio. We got some bar food and a few beers. I'll always come back to Panini's if I am just looking for a place to have a casual beer and some mozzarella sticks for a game. read more

We ordered a thin crust pizza....came out very doughy and flavorless. They don't tell you that they use tortilla instead of crust!! They served us a quesadilla and called it a pizza. Just awful. Skip this place. read more

I love their food, so so so much better than your typical bar food. And it's nice to have some healthier options too, literally everything I've ever eaten here is just delicious. This location is super convenient with fast & friendly service. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends & family or even just enjoying a drink by yourself after a long day. Definitely my favorite Panini's, anytime I have visitor from out of town this is my go to. They offer quality food & drinks for everyone at affordable prices with excellent service!! Check out their menu seriously, you will not be disappointed. read more

Cheese Wedges were still cold in the middle and not even melted. cheesesteak wasn't even warm when served. Only thing I like was the garlic wings, and the service at the bar. read more

If you enjoy Flat Beer on draft and sandwiches with Processed meet from Oscar Myer then this is the perfect place. Nice TV and Bar Layout. Too bad you can't bring your own beer and food read more

Good food but the service unfortunately wasn't! We had to constantly ask repeatedly for drinks, condiments, extra napkins. I understand having to remind someone once, but throughout the evening we had to remind her 10 times to bring another drink! We were a group of 6 and the server wasn't too busy having only 4 other small tables. Very nice outdoor seating, good parking & fun environment read more

I was SO excited to introduce my husband to the amazing culinary implosion that is Panini's! We finally got an hour before our bowling league to have some grub at this fine establishment. The restaurant has been SLAMMED since opening and on our particular night we just wandered in. Although the skeleton of the restaurant harkens back to the vintage "Damon's" that once held court here, it cannot compete with the homey, good natured, competetive atmosphere that this building once possessed. Gone is the separation of the adult-based bar from the rounded booths that seat 6 snivelling children and 2 comatose parents. Years ago any idiotic parent who dragged their child up to the bar to "wait" for an available table gave their children quite an education. No one cares anymore. It is now the drinking, gambling, sports-nut that has to protect children by watching their language and moving over so "junior's" feet don't kick their shins. We were able to order "true" Panini's - although it took me 20 minutes to locate them on the back side of the menu. I will say that mine was DELICIOUS with a soft white bread and far too wide to bite into! Sadly, this location has become a Chucky Cheese-like restaurant catering to the young politically-correct parents who refuse to discipline their children. I miss the days when the restaurant manager lofted a pig trophy over his head and paraded it to my table because I knew how many woman Caeser had slept with. So sad... read more

I like the setup and how spacious it is. The staff was also very friendly. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad and a side of the house special pub fries. The pub fries were a bit disappointing, but the salad was very tasty. read more

Bugs.... Flying bugs.... I just hate that.... But all in all this place is pretty good, bathrooms are clean, a must for me! Also, bartender was neat clean an tedious, right on! Studious! That is solid in place like this! She is the only reason why I have stayed and gave it a 3, she made the bar and was all by herself, and it's a horseshoe, 32 seats and 20 seats on a Tuesday, nice job! read more

I started with the fried pickles, great idea. Then i went with the breakfast burger, which was nothing short of perfect. Nothing bad to say about this place. read more

You know, I'll go ahead and give Panini's a good rating. Went for a work lunch and it was better than the average Panini's experience. There's many locations in the Cleveland area, and they all conform to the similar standards. They are all attractive restaurants, with women bartenders and servers, and a menu that revolves around fried food in sandwiches. This one stuck out because the burger I had was actually really, really good. Is it amazing? Nah. But it was really good, and that's more than I'm accustomed to when getting burgers when out. The bun was soft, fluffy, and slightly grilled. The cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños made for a perfect combo. My customer had a basic side salad and a pizza, and the pizza's are always good. It was Fat Tuesday, so they had gumbo for soup, and despite the teeny tiny shrimp, it was overall a spicy little addition. The bartender was also very nice and attentive. So in short, a good experience, and above average for Panini's. read more

If you like live musicians and alcohol, this place is for you. If you like a nice quiet evening, this place is not for you. The 3 Maker's Marks I had were excellent. I would have had more but my wife was tired of listening to Disco Inferno and insisted we leave for the night. I didn't try the food, but it looked good. I have a feeling this will be a pretty good party spot if you enjoy that kind of thing...... read more

Panini's Bar and Grill - New American Near Me - Stow, Ohio

This is a good place to watch a game. Great sports bar atmosphere, and good selection of beers. I would love to give it a higher rating, but there is no excuse for their food. It's not that it's bad; it just isn't good and with a franchise this big they should come up with some good food. The bland sandwiches' only claim to fame is that they're really big. Floppy fries, overall indifference to taste. Don't they have a professional of some kind designing their food options? That's a complaint against the franchise in general. But I can say that this site on Steels Corners really is a cool place - clean, bright and spacious, with indoor and outdoor bars. read more

I refuse to try this place anymore. Their food is pretty awful, and Ive never found their wait staff to be overly friendly at all. I got a sandwich with fries, and ordered a side of ranch. They charged me 75 cents for tiny cup of ranch. If they want to charge me thats fine, but thats a bit excessive. I think the only thing this place has going for it is the location. read more

The restaurant advertises on the front of the building and website that they are open until 2:30am. I was meeting up for a drink with a gal after work on a Saturday and we were having a good time. The place seemed to empty out a little after our arrival, but I thought since they were open until 2:30am, no big deal. At 2 am, the "manager" told us, ok ladies you have to finish up. I said, "I'm sorry, we thought you were open until 2:30am." His response was, "Well technically we are, but we close based on business. So I'm not kicking you out, but I am." He was so rude and made us leave because they wanted to lock the doors. There was no information posted that the hours could change "based on business." I am a restaurant manager and would never force a customer to leave. I will never return. read more

We went there at 4:30 yesterday-a Saturday. Got seated and the music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other across the table. The waitress was clueless as far as knowing the menu or answering any questions. There were 5 of us and 4 of us didn't even finish our meals-the food was that bad. The fries weren't fully cooked and the "Panini" sandwiches weren't even grilled-which is what a Panini is. We asked the waitress and she said that's they way that they do their Paninis. What a joke! The Italian paninis had one slice of salami, one slice of capiciola and one slice of ham. There was nothing to the sandwiches! Total rip off. Their cole slaw sucked too. The one person that got a reuben said that it was good-and they grilled that one! No idea how or why they are even in business!!! read more

We stopped in on a Friday night and it was understandably busy. We put our name in. The trio of hostesses did little to explain the length of wait time to those wanting to be seated. They furthered the situation by doing little to check on table openings. And to add salt to the wound. Held two tables open for parties with "reservations". Those two tables remained unused for the 45 minutes we stood in the lobby. The manager was contacted and did nothing. In fact we asked to speak to same and were told by the hostesses he was busy. We left soon thereafter. We were one of many who expressed displeasure at the hostesses and the manager. What a shame. Had been a decent bar/grill. read more

This used to be a great place to eat and have a few beers. We used to come here often. But now it's gone down hill. The food isn't as good. Some things like the fish dinner is no longer on the menu. The food took a long time to be brought. And the service wasn't very good at all. The server was like she didn't want to be there and not very perky or friendly. I do not think we will come back. read more

30 odd TVs turned to some div 2 college football playoff game no one cares about. Ask for one tv to be turned to the Army Navy game so you can watch the pregame pageantry. "Well that game doesn't start till 3." No kidding. That's why I wanted to watch the pregame. It's currently 2:48. Still watching some obscure college football game. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening. The bartender wasn't too friendly. Ordered provolone wedges. When they came out there was no cheese in them and one side looked uncooked like they were frozen together and didn't get split apart. I was disappointed. Then I proceeded to order the chick buffalo wrap w no lettuce & chips. It came out pretty quick. The wrap had lettuce on it and didn't have hardly any chick. It did taste good tho minus the gross bag lettuce. The chips were really good and there was a lot of them. My bill was 16.00 and I left a 10.00 tip. No thank you no water refill. Luckily I had a bottle of water in the truck. 3 stars is for the taste. read more

First off the wings were not all the way cooked they were still bleeding. So I took them back and the manager tries to convince me that it was a "vein"and is still good . I've never had a vein in any other wing that I've ate before.. And also there other batch didn't have any sauce!!! Definitely never ever coming back to this place very disappointed read more

Terrible, cold, overpriced, shitty food. Terrible drinks, terrible service. Hot bartenders. So not all bad.

We came here to meet another family for dinner with our children. Great place for family!! Other than, it's so LOUD if there is a big game on TV. Hopefully your restaurant can figure out how your customers can listen to the big game and also your other guests who are not there for the game to enjoy their food and friends. As for the rest, food quality is good and the help we had was great. Great location that's easy to get to right off the highway. read more

I've been to this location a few times and to the one in kent many times. I've always had great service at the kent location. Service at this location on steels corner is spotty. We sat down at the bar. 4 bartenders behind the bar and 2 of those were counting tips to leave. We were ordered our beers and food. This was the last time anyone spoke to us. My boyfriend had asked for a water after getting his beer and he never got it. The food came out and not once were we checked on. Beers were never offered until they were empty. I hate to complain but I was so just turned off by the service. The bartenders walked by us several times while eating and no one ever stopped to check in on us. The beer list is average along with the food. Service can always make or break an establishment. It's sad that right now, the service is breaking this one. read more

Went here one night to watch the Ohio state game. Place was PACKED but our waitress still managed to be very attentive. I ordered the buffalo boneless wings and fries. Food was hot and fresh, both wings and fries were good. Also has great drink specials read more
