For MY 1000th Yelp review (haha)…read more... I was in the area for something (a Yelp event maybe?), I needed dinner before driving back home, and I happened to walk by The Feve so I decided to stop in. I visited in June 2025 on a weekday evening, with fellow Yelper, Olga N. We were told that this restaurant in Oberlin has been open for 30 years which is amazing. It must be a staple in the community. FOOD - I ordered the Avocado Bacon Burger with a side salad ($15.50) and I think my friend ordered the same burger. The burger tasted delicious. The burger was juicy and it was a very thick-cut of meat. The avocado wasn't too fresh and it looked like a paste. The bacon was crispy. The small side salad was good and typical of a regular salad, consisting of mixed greens, shaved carrots, and cucumbers. Tomatoes would have been a nice addition. I forgot what dressing the salad came with. PARKING - Street parking only. SERVICE -- friendly and efficient. I asked for warm lemon water and it was brought right up. It wasn't a busy night especially since my friend and I arrived a bit later (around 7:45pm ish). FYI -- There are 2 sections of the establishment - Downstairs closes at 10pm - Upstairs closes at midnight but food ordering ends at 11pm The Feve is a popular restaurant amongst the Oberlin community, including students from nearby Oberlin college. While those living in Cleveland may not know about this restaurant, I'm glad that I ventured in. Stop on in and support this local business. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 159/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1000 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 12 July 2026

Had an excellent dining experience here during a recent trip to Oberlin for a Frank Llyod Wright…read morehouse tour. Place was not super-busy when I arrived, and the service was pleasant and prompt. I ordered a very reasonably priced beer and settled in as I awaited my burger and fries. They have a very extensive pub style menu, so there are options sure to satisfy just about everyone in your party. I ordered their brisket burger with a side of fries. When it arrived, I was blown away by the size! This brisket burger was pretty sloppy, but delicious...only knock was that the bun did not hold up well to all the toppings: beef patty, onion spread, bacon, cheddar cheese sauce, BBQ smoked brisket and a fried onion ring. It was however, cooked to a nice medium rare (just the way I like it). Also, the fresh cut fries were cooked just right and very crispy. Full to the gills, I made my way to the FLW house trying not to fall asleep from my heavenly food coma.

The place is beautiful with its black and white vibes. They had several specials and a great menu selection. I tried the salmon sandwich. It was delicious and huge portion. My husband had the perch special with a side of truffle fries and broccoli. He enjoyed his meal as well. The service was also great. Very attentive and offered suggestions on menu items. I would love to try the steak next time!

I selected some products, paid for them, and then left without incident. The vibe is very Midwestern, and the sweets on display had a buttery note like much of what I've found throughout the region. Other people came and went after I left. A selection of ice cream was on sale as well (I couldn't tell what the source of the ice cream was). The back of the shop is more of a convenience store, with a selection of snacks, beverages, and a few household items. The chocolate cream pastry, as well as some chocolate covered candy canes and an oreo, delivered the sort of simple pleasure one might expect.

As for my espresso - temped correctly with bright acidity at the front, finishing smooth with notes of tart cherry, dark chocolate and molasses.

No hellos, no thank yous, no indication our transaction was over. The wait was a little long for a cold brew but it was busy so again, no big deal. But they never called my name for the drink. I had to approach the counter and ask. When I got my drink, it was nearly white. The little coffee flavor in it was bitter and little else. And no vanilla. I virtually never get refunds on food, I used to be in food service for a long time. But this was a big disappointment and I didn't feel like I got what I paid for. I love Oberlin and had hoped I found a new "spot." This probably won't be it.

Service was friendly and professional, and in one of our two meals here, they were gracious as we bumped into people we knew and ended up combining tables. The food was good; highly recommend the Blackened Walleye, which (with its succotash) was delicious and quite filling. The stuffed gnocchi might have been a little over the top (gnocchi not good enough on their own? gotta stuff 'em?) but it was also yummy. Of particular note: the restaurant both has a good selection of gluten-free dishes and is sensitive about gluten/cross-contamination concerns. That was important to one in our party, and they handled it well.
