    Good service here. An excellent stop at the airport to grab a beer or three before the flight.

    I stopped at this Quaker Lube in the Cleveland airport recently. It's located near B5 gate. It's a tight squeeze with a bar area and about 20 tables but it works. My server Billy was exceptional at handling the various tables and getting everyone's order out. Billy's customer service was excellent as well. I wanted to order wings as I did miss eating them when I lived in Cleveland. However, $10 for 5 wings wasn't going to cut it for me. I ordered the Lube burger with fries. I don't know if I was just hungry or it was just good lol. It's a hearty burger, not skimpy at all. Overall, my meal was good and extremely filling. The service was fast so I still had 20 minutes prior to boarding. I will definitely be returning

    This is my second time here leaving CLE and service was great both times. My server Billy was very attentive and friendly. He happened to be my same server from 6 months ago and still greeted me with a smile on his face. Food is always fresh and beer was ice cold. Steady crowd and close walk to my B Gate. Last time I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich which was very good, too! See you guys next time, Billy!

    A shell of what QS&L used to be.  Terrible.

    I used to love QS&L. The wings were great, the sauces were great. But this visit convinced me this is not the same place that started in Sharon Pa. The boneless wings were awful - was there even chicken inside those breading covered rocks? Hard to the point where my knife and fork BROKE trying to cut thru them. The side salad - a mess, thrown together. At least it was edible.

    Overpriced airport location Wings ordered were reheated or cold drowning in sauce. Beers expensive. Worst were the bar seats... not comfortable at all and not conducive to keeping people there drinking... my back welcomed the Delta airlines cushioned chairs after seating on Quaker Lube hard oversized, high chairs with sharp seat edges... menu options were lousy to lame to needing help... I wish I ate at another restaurant at airport at earlier gate area. 10 wings with minimal meat on them, dry overcooked or reheated, 2 beers and tip 50 bucks... Holy my wallet Batman if I was paying

    Breakfast sandwich

    Great place for brunch before you get to plane. Open early and full bar. I got the bacon breakfast sandwich and it didn't disappoint! Would go here again!

    The food was decent for an airport but the service was very slow, our waitress seemed to be unable to multitask and she was the only person for table service. Best bet is probably eating at the bar.

    We needed lunch and we didn't want to miss our flight (which right across the walkway). Been a while since I've had Quaker Steak and the wings are just as filling as I remember. The flavor of the sauce was there in abundance, meaning there was extra in the tray and on each wing. We were greeted and told we could pick anywhere and our server would be right with us. Our server must've been the only one in at the time, we waited about 10-15 minutes before she came over and took our order. She then came back a few minutes later to confirm which sauce I wanted, which is fine, but maybe write things down and repeat back to confirm. Food took a while but it came out hot and ready. The seating area started getting more and more full and other guests were getting very antsy. Some folks just got up and left with no order taken. I can understand the frustration, but unfortunately for the one server present she was getting the brunt of the displeasure from the guests. Food was good. Service was as friendly as could be but still, not my best trip to this spot in the airport.

    Delicious breakfast, hot, served quickly, and my server was very friendly/accommodating. The omlet was hearty, the potatoes were seasoned perfectly, and the toast was yummy too!

    Bartender and server chatting together.

    Rude server and bartender. Table was filthy. Wiped it up ourselves with wet ones. We left after waiting 20 mins. Wasn't busy but staff preferred to talk with one another than customers.

    Not many breakfast choices in the airport so we settled for The Lube. Only customers early in the morning so service was quick. The decaf coffee was excellent. I had a breakfast sandwich which was decent. Service was good.

    I've been hearing about the "Aviator" for a long time and for one reason or another just never got…read morethere. Well we finally made it tonight. It is not what I expected. The facility is far bigger than I thought it would be. They have a central restaurant with multiple party centers on either side. It's a really BIG facility. New, modern, and quite attractive. With plenty of convenient parking. The wall of the restaurant that faces Cleveland Hopkins Airport is all glass. It affords you quite an impressive view of the airport and the planes landing. The staff we met was pleasant and efficient. Our server, Mina, did an excellent job all night. If there was a weak point, it would be the food. It was not bad (I'm trying to be kind); it was just uninspired, limited, and not really well prepared. Because they do not offer bread for the table our only option was to order the "Soft Pretzel". It arrived badly overcooked, crunchy not soft, and even boardering on burnt. The charcuterie board was OK, but uninspired. I ordered the "Lemon Chicken" which was a full half chicken in a reasonably good sauce. But the meat was dry and it came only with brussel sprouts (yuk!). My wife had the "Walleye" which she simply said was "okay"... oh well. Our guests weren't any more impressed than we were. I will say our coffee and "Pot de Creme" were very good... thank goodness. All in all, our overall experience was "meh"... just "meh". Sorry - really probably should be 3.5

    Celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary called for something simple, yet memorable--and The…read moreAviator delivered exactly that. We dropped in for Happy Hour, looking for cocktails and a few bites, and were immediately struck by the well-appointed space. The runway views at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport added an unexpected layer of entertainment--watching planes take off and land while toasting 14 years of marital bliss felt like the perfect backdrop. We started strong with a French 75 and an Old Fashioned--both expertly crafted, but that Old Fashioned? Smooth, balanced, and memorable enough to set the tone for the entire evening. Wednesday happens to be Wing Day ($2 whole wings), and we took full advantage. We sampled Buffalo, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and the undeniable star of the show: Garlic Parmesan. Each had its own personality, but that Garlic Parmesan was simply elite. Service was impeccable--Emily was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our experience flowed as effortlessly as the cocktails. Speaking of which, round two brought a Cosmo alongside a repeat of that Old Fashioned...because when you find the right note, you stay in that key. For food, we shared the French Dip Baguette--shaved prime rib, provolone, horseradish aioli, and au jus done right--and paired it with the Mega Crunch Fries, elevated with sea salt, rosemary, and a light truffle oil drizzle. Simple menu items, executed with intention. We closed the evening the same way we began--together, with one final round of Old Fashioneds. A Happy Hour well spent. A celebration well honored. A 14-year journey still taking off.

    Having a meal with Chef Mario and his team, on a recent weekend, has been a culinary highlight of…read more2025 (for us) in the greater Cleveland area! Tucked in the penthouse floor of a nondescript office building near the outdoor Fairview Mall complex...you navigate your way up the old, rickety elevator and around a couple of awkward corners to emerge in the kitchen of Mario's eclectic yet homey space. Getting a dinner reservation here is no easy task. It typically involves a series of text messages where you can determine when his schedule might allow for an opening for your party. Don't get discouraged as he's a very popular guy so it may be several months before you can find an open slot that meets your needs, but believe me...it is worth the wait! Pre-reservation (by a few days) you'll receive word of his chosen menu options during your visit where you'll be able to select from a variety of salad and soup options and then each guest may also choose their main dish from a variety that was larger than I'd expected for such a small operation. With seating for maybe 20 guests, when you arrive Chef Mario will greet you personally and then places you at one of his dining tables and the adventure begins! Drink orders are taken (only one red and one white wine option will be available), but feel free to bring your own spirits, wine, etc. As the meal began (and progressed), course after course of small bite plates are brought forward with a variety of tastes, textures, combinations and wild flavor mashups. I'm not going to recount each one, but every dish was truly unique and memorable. Interspersed with these "chef's choice" courses came our soup / salad choices and later in the meal our main dishes. My wife loved here burrata salad as well as her black squid ink pasta with lobster. I adored my seafood bisque and filet mignon cabernet. By the time the dessert courses arrived (yes, there was more than one!) it was getting hard to finish the dishes, but we soldiered on! In total, I think we were served nine or ten separate courses (many of which are small plate / bite style) with wine continuously flowing across this price fixe meal. It was a glorious feast in a very intimate atmosphere where you WILL get to know your table neighbors by the nature of of space layout and his intentions for communal meals. Run (don't walk) to make a reservation for this incredibly unique dining experience before Chef Mario decides to call it quits. We cannot wait for our next adventure there!

    This lives up to all hype! Mario is a genius and this was the most wonderful dinner. There are…read morerules for dinner. I am not sure about lunch. So take this for dinner. You call or text and make dinner reservations. He tells you the time. A week before he texts you the menu and you choose a salad or soup and the entree. The rest is left up to his whim. We started with red or white wine. Basic wine. If you want something else bring it. Mario provides you with antipasti, bruschetta, and other light bites. Delicious and all different. All expertly hand crafted. You then get your soup or salad and some homemade bread. We got pepperoni roll. Then you get your entree. Even though you have already feasted on a number of small dishes. The entree can be pasta, steak, lamb, veal, chicken. You choose. It comes to your table because you ordered it a week before. I got the veal sambiocca. And my partner got the pasta primavera. Pasta is not cream based but tomato based with a ton of veggies. Fresh with herbs too. The veal was tender with cheese and prosciutto in a butter wi e sauce. Amazing. In between courses Mario comes by and makes sure you're ok and tells you a story or about the dish. It's very pleasant and gentile. You feel like you're in Italy. But you are in Rocky River. Dessert was a mascarpone pie with a strawberry purée. Light and delicious. The whole meal was light. You did not feel like you were too stuffed but, I didn't eat till 3p the next day. Mario's son waited on us and otherwise he is pretty much chief cook and bottle washer. It's all good and fun and delicious! It's a small 18 seat restaurant. So that's why only by reservation. It's in a non de script office building. You take a rickety elevator to the P or penthouse. Then you will have a fun time in Italy. The saddest part is that now I discovered him, he will be retiring at the end of the year. Bring cash. You can pay cards but not sure if you will get a surcharge. This is not cheap. Plan to spend over $150 for 2 people, not including tip. Well worth a special occasion. We will be back! Made reservations for next month.

    BEAUTIFUL PLACE…read more Wow, the architecture in there I really like it. I took some pictures. I think they will show up at the bottom of this review of what used to be the front door. Fascinating space. I looked it up. It used to be retail when it was built in the 30s, and then it was renovated in the 60s and now it looks like they took all three storefronts for the restaurant. I was sitting there admiring the Cherrywood floor and thinking what used to be here. That display window I wonder if it was a little department store. They were very busy, the bartender was working it! Nice guy. Outside was packed. That's where I wanted to sit, but I sat in the dining room.
