Average place with average food. It was PACKED. Don't know if they trying to serve more than they can actually handle? We got a salad and a sandwich between the two for us after a long wait. Tasty but sloppy as hell. The table next to us packed with noisy women throwing down bud lights seemed to get much more attentive service This seems like a place in its infancy. I wouldn't go there again or recommend it read more

I'm so glad our local Tela is serving food and drinks! Wonderful spaced tables on the patio & memorable dishes!

Cocktails were very good - especially the black cherry margarita! We ordered bruschetta for an appetizer and it was unique from the regular bruschetta we were expecting with sprouts and watermelon radish on it. Some unique yummy foods on their menu! I was looking for a wine bar and this popped up, so last minute decided to try it out. They have several wines available as well as cheese/meat board. No happy hour specials through. Atmosphere inside was very cozy! Small place that has a lot of charm! read more

Very good atmosphere, service, food, and wine. Im not sure if they take reservations and it's busy on weekends. Since the service and drinks are so great, I don't mind the wait! read more

This place is in the city of Wyoming, and pretty easy to find/park. I'm not in Wyoming much but needed a place for dinner that was close to work for a large group so I found this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It has a good bar/restaurant feel. Let's start with the drinks. They have a HH that goes only until 6 pm but includes their tap beer and wines and a select few appetizers. They have a good selection of local tap beers (although it just happened to include mainly IPAs and darker beer selections when we went) and a wide selection of beer cans/bottles. It was a good enough selection for a restaurant type bar. The food menu isn't too large but they have a variety of dishes from melts to lamb and duck to mac n cheese with brisket. The food all sounded delicious and I had a hard time choosing. We ordered a few appetizers for the table including the hummus, pretzels, and wings. The hummus plate and with 3 types, the sauces for the pretzels were delicious and the pretzels were nice and fluffy, and the wings were delicious with meet that came right off the bone. Excellent start to the food. I ordered the shrimp and grits and have to say not my favorite dish as it was slightly over flavored with onions but the meet on the dish tasted good and the grits were tasty, but the beer sauce and onions over powered the flavor of the meet. It tasted delicious with the shrimp but I could have done with the sauce separated. However, everything else my table ordered smelled and tasted amazing including the Mac n cheese with ribs and the pork tenderloin dish. Something as basic as Mac tastes delicious with the way they cook their meats. Overall the prices of the food relative to the proportions you get was also excellent. Most dishes are between 15-20 and you definitely get some good meat and leftovers. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area or looking for good food without the wait of downtown or OTR. read more

Nice local restaurant with neighborhood appeal. Last visit was great. Not loving the March menu changes though. Started off with the meat board and poutine. The meat board was good but they must have changed it recently because ours was about half of what we got at our last visit...cost savings?? The poutine definitely changed too. It used to be a flavorful pulled pork. This time is was soooo smoked that the smoke overwhelmed the whole dish. Also no daily/weekly specials either. Service was good. Environment fun. Parking was no problem. read more

So got a little drunk here off some Boodels gin & tonic. Lol Place is really good. Very very busy. It definitely gets the local Wyoming crowd. When we pulled into the back parking lot there were very few cars. When we walked in the place was PACKED. So it's a walking destination for the locals. I would go later in the evening. Around 8 or 9. The staff seems to rush the tables a bit when there is a wait. Seems to slow down past 8 Started with Meat & Cheese board, wings, pretzel bite all were great. The standout for us was the poutine. It was amazing!! It's a definite try!! Ok the rest gets a bit foggy. Ha ha ha Fennel salad was just ok. Had alfalfa sprouts in it as well. Would have been better with more fennel Me & the b/f split the Chivato sandwich & the Pork Two'fer! Both amazing. Reminded us both of the great food we get in Charleston SC Given this place a try y'all!!!! read more

Food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding. After more than 60 years of eating hamburgers, I now consider their black hole sun burger as my favorite all time burger. read more

A coworker and I went here for dinner while traveling for business. We always like to fun local places with a fresh menu and not too pricey. This place is was awesome! Great food, clean and friendly service. This place is a little loud and the tables are close together, but it is a great atmosphere for a nice evening out. We shared the pimento and pickles appetizer --- which was delicious! You could tell the food was fresh and prepared by someone who cares about food. Would definitely come back on a future trip! read more

I got the reuben sandwich and fries-no regrets here and I felt like the portion sizes were excellent as well! Fries were hand cut and sandwich was juicy and flavored! Excellent service too! read more

I love this place and I am so happy to have them nearby. I know it's hard with Covid to keep your business open, but we really appreciate this restaurant. Thanks! read more

This place is amazing! Has both indoor and outdoor seating which is perfect for people watching and getting some fresh air. The pretzels with beer cheese and garlic caramel sauce might very well be my favorite appetizer ever! Seriously delicious. We split the grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup entree and the salmon sandwich with fresh cut fries entree - both amazing! We don't typically end with desserts but after seeing several tables order a cake with berries we just had to try it - it was a lemon cake with cream and a berry topping that was amazing! Cannot recommend Tela enough! read more

Great food, great vibe & impressive beer selection. The Mediterranean platter (falafel) may be the best in town. Awesome staff and the space outside is where it's at year round now with the heaters read more

Great restaurant to socialize with a very good food and drink menu. Apple Fennel Salad generous portion and very flavorful.

I went here for brunch on Sunday. I've been here before for dinner and it was very nice. Our second time here was less great than the first time. I ordered the chorizo hash and it was fairly portioned and had great layers of flavor. The service was very slow and our drinks came out with our meal. I hope they work out the kinks in their brunch service. I will be back to give it another shot! read more

Went here for Sunday Brunch and it was awesome! You can tell when you walk in that this place is cool and trendy but with a laid back vibe. During our brunch a musician came in and was singing and playing acoustic guitar which was the perfect addition! For brunch I ordered the corned beef hash. Disclaimer, this corned beef hash is very different than the kind that you'd order at a diner. The corned beef and potatoes are a much thicker cut and less greasy, but still yummy! My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles which he said were delicious as well. I would love to come back again to try dinner and a drink at Tela. read more

I can't properly describe how delicious my meal was tonight at Tela's. I can say my dinner partner and I stopped holding a conversation and opted to just moan while we ate. I ordered the french dip, which I order wherever I see it on the menu. From the bread to the horseradish aioli to the perfectly tender steak, I thought it was delicious. What blew my mind was the au ju. My eyes crossed in heavenly bliss when I tasted it. I'm thinking about it now. I have to change my death row meal. The restaurant was busy, but dinners came out quickly, and we couldn't have asked for a better server. She was extremly knowledgeable but also sounded proud to be a part of this restaurant. read more

Love all the outdoor seating and the atmosphere. Lots of great food and drink options. I love the Buda bowl, but most people rave about the Mac n Cheese. read more

A great local spot with solid food and service. Their beer selection could be slightly better but it caters to most which is good. Like all restaurants during Covid, they have reinvented themselves and have an outstanding takeout service that is always hot and accurate. No true cons with Tela's menu. I always like to try the specials and seasonal entrees. Give it a try! read more

I absolutely love this place. Every time I go I get consistency. My favorites are the salads. I love their sweet pickled tomatoes. Never had them before here. Can't find them anywhere else. So worth the taste. read more

We went to dinner at 7:15 on a Sat night and had less than a 3 min wait for a table. The ambiance is casual and fun! I had shrimp ettouffe and it was delicious. I had a Mount Gay Rum and tonic and the Mount Gay Rum was clear which I didn't care for as much as the normal amber colored Mount Gay Rum. My wife had a cheese steak sandwich with fries that was terrific. Really good beef and the fries were tasty too. I had some exceptional coffe and a dish of Bananas Foster sorbet for desert. I would recommend this restaurant as a definite find!!! read more

We were here for a powerlifting meet and trying to find somewhere solid to eat at the night before. Tela is super cool and relaxed inside. Fun decor. The service was awesome and and the food was great. They were accommodating of our request to sub in a different carb as well as take out dairy. read more

Ate here a second time, because it was convenient for my friend, and, we had a coupon again. It was much busier than the first time, and -- LOUD, LOUD, LOUD. Really had to shout to each other. And, the tables are too close together for comfort. The food is OK -- some nice ingredients, and everything is described well on the menu, but, it's expensive for what is basically pub grub. I doubt I'll go there again because of the decibel level -- apparently the younger crowd likes it loud. I and my friends don't -- we like to be able to converse without shouting. read more

Food were amazing, slow speed though. We went for brunch as a group of 10 and waited for over 1 hour for food. Still really worth the trip however would give a 5 star if it could be faster! read more

Awesome food and great cocktails! I am so glad they have made it through the challenging times we are in.

Never sit outside-horrible bugs outside. Tap Beer list - only IPAs, like they have never heard of something other than IPAs. Wait staff is good, but tired of overly pretentious hostess staff. read more

Amazing! I went with three work colleagues for lunch. We were there the first day the menu had changed. We all four ordered different things and all looked delicious (cheesesteak, short rib mac and cheese, salad, veggie burger). I had the veggie burger with a salad instead of fries - it was so yummy. I'm not a vegetarian but do get veggie burgers from time to time...this one didn't disappoint. The texture was great and the red pepper hummus was incredibly flavorful...definitely exceeded my expectations. And the side salad...uh, yum. It was a a version of the wedge and super fresh. The dressing was on the side...a nice, chunky blue cheese. It had a ton of bacon as well as salty, crispy fried onions. The others in my party loved their food as well...and they had a really cool bar area that I hope to check out in the future :) read more

This place is great. Love the modern industrial design/atmosphere. The menus is little but the food is good! The Cobb salad is huge, the short rib mac & cheese is delicious! read more

We had a wonderful dinner this evening at Tela's in Wyoming. We are regulars and go here about once per month. Their monthly specials are great! Tonight I had their roasted corn and andouille sausage carbonara pasta that was so savory and was as good as any pasta I have had at Boca's (which is one my favorite local restaurants). Their mussels are superb with the sauces which are as good as I have had anywhere in the world. My wife had a wonderful chilled soup billed as watermelon gazpacho as well as chopping which was excellent. Their wine list is extensive and reasonable. We are so lucky to have such a great local place in Wyoming that has such excellent cuisine! Even if you have to drive a bit, Tela's is worth a special trip! read more

Good service Good food Insanely loud Overpriced (10 wings 2 salads 2 beers $85) Not sure the good outweighs the bad. read more

Tela was very accommodating for a party of 9 that became suddenly larger! The server was amazing and the food was, as always, outstanding! I am always blown away by the atmosphere, which was very lively for a Tuesday! And I always appreciate the consistency of their food! All diners were served quickly and loved their meals! This place is a total gem! Hint: the pretzels are to die for and if you swing by for lunch (highly recommend) try the grilled Caesar salad! It is amazing!!!! And bonus, tons and tons of parking behind the restaurant, both in their lot and the two businesses adjoining. It's closer to you than you may think! Go now! read more

Well, I have to thank Yelp for bringing us here in the first place. If I didn't find it on there, we never would have come. But we took a chance on a Tuesday, myself and 2 coworkers, and I had the roasted chicken and a couple glasses of wine (a pinot noir). Everything was prepared immaculately, and the food came out quite quickly, as well. But you can get good food anywhere. And even though Tela has fantastic food and a wonderfully relaxing, charming atmosphere (especially with the big sliding garage door open), the main reason I gave this place 5 stars was the staff. We came in on that Tuesday and Natalie was our waitress, and I told her from the beginning that we were going to be a challenge. All of us wanted separate checks, and I've been known to be a bit loud and boisterous at times. But not only did Natalie hold her own and give it as good as she got it, but she made an impression on us. So much so, that one of my coworkers and I returned tonight for dinner again! We're only in town for a few days, so that's saying something! Again - great food (I got the roasted chicken again), great beer selection and wines (I tried the red blend this evening - even better than the pinot noir!), great atmosphere, and amazing staff. You put that all together, and how can you beat it? If you want a relaxing, fun, casual night for some dinner or small plates and some drinks - ask for Natalie and come to Tela. You'll be glad you did! read more

So happy this place is back open! Went last night for dinner with my toddler and husband. We moved to the area the week before everything shut down for covid and haven't been able to explore much. This felt like we were in all our old favorite downtown restaurants that we miss living close to. The cowboy Joe burger was great and there fries are AMAZING. They also have a kids menu! Will be back read more

Short Review: A delicious dinner featuring the single greatest vegetarian burger I have ever enjoyed by an order of magnitude I didn't know existed. Long Review: Tela was one of the restaurants featuring a vegetarian substitute during Burger Week 2018, which I ordered, while my husband enjoyed the regular version. He was excited to try Wagyu beef, which their feature burger showcased. According to him, the beef was excellent, but I was too busy being blown away by my veggie patty to really listen to his praise. I've been a vegetarian for five years now, so I've had a lot of different veggie burgers from a lot of different places. Tela's patty is on a level I didn't even know existed. Unbelievably good taste and texture. I almost wish the featured burger had a little less sauce so the patty could shine through a bit better, but the overall package was fantastic. The fries were also delicious, and a side is a very generous helping. We enjoyed the Burger Week discounts, but the regular menu is a bit pricey. However, we both left extremely satisfied and thrilled with our dinner, so I would definitely be willing to come back and pay a higher dollar for such good food. The place was a little loud for me, but it was absolutely crammed with Burger Week participants. I'm not sure how the energy would be on a regular night. The decor is beautiful, though the inside is quite dark, and it feels like a quiet little date place, even though the sound echoes a bit. It took a little while to get our food, but again, the place was absolutely swamped, so I have no idea what wait times are like on a normal night. I can guarantee the wait staff was working hard though. My husband and I were seated right by the kitchen at the "food bar," and we got to watch everyone work. Tela features a tireless staff that puts so much care into the food behind the scenes. We had a great time, and will definitely be returning to Tela. read more

This was my second time visiting Tela's, but first time having their food. I wasn't that impressed. My mother and I split the short rib Mac and cheese. The dish had great flavor but the portion of meat was incredibly small. Especially for a $17 meal! Their prices are very high and they have some odd menu items. They need a couple more basic dishes. The menu only had a couple of items on it that I would actually enjoy. Our waitress wasn't very good either. It was Saturday night, but the restaurant wasn't even very busy. First, she didn't take our menus from us after we ordered. About 10 minutes later after they were still sitting there, I had to physically hand them to her for her to take them away. And then after we finished our meals, our empty plates sat in front of us for about 20 minutes. Not sure that I'd go back. read more

I went here for my birthday lunch on a Saturday afternoon, it was only the second time I've been, but I had been literally dying for over a year to return since my first visit! It did not disappoint. Between my friends and me, we had wings (with cowboy hot sauce, which is the perfect 'medium' flavor), short rib mac n cheese, and the Royale with Cheese. Everything was delicious!! Our server was super nice. We even had a 9 month old baby with us, she had a kids' mac n cheese and it looked like she enjoyed her meal as well :D Bonus - they serve Coke in cans here! So much better than fountain Coke. Can't wait to come back when I'm in the area again! read more

First-timers for dinner. Enjoyed the ambiance, lighting, food... and even the bathroom signs were a real treat! Our teenage son loved the short rib macaroni and cheese... it was deeelish. My wife enjoyed the sea bass and I liked the Cubano with seasoned fries. Wyoming, OH features adorable neighborhoods and charm. We anticipate dining there again! read more

We walked in and the entrance had curtains on them and saw all the employees sitting near the back so I was a little confused if they were open or not. Turns out there just wasn't many people in the place but it was an odd time of day. However, service was awesome. Food was great too! My friend and I had been studying so we stopped in just for a beer and appetizers. We got the goat cheese and pretzel sticks which were both amazing. They have a pretty good selection of alcohol as well. Beer, wine, you name it. Would definitely want to go back for a dinner/lunch to check out some of the entree options! Overall the atmosphere was darker but gave me a good date night vibe. There were TVs too! read more

I took my kids to Tela last night & we had a great meal. We started out with the cheese curds & soft pretzels which were plenty for sharing. My daughter got the short rib mac & cheese. We all thought it was good, but there was something a little off about it. Maybe the short rib sauce was too watery or the cheese sauce was too grainy-- it wasn't as good as other reviewers had built it up. I got the pouting. It had plenty of shredded pork and gravy, and the fries were crispy. I could only eat about half of it. My son got the best dish of the night, the steak frites. While it was a plainer dish, the steak was prepared perfectly & was very tender. I would order this next time. Finally, we shared the eclair cake-- graham crackers, fresh cream, Bavarian cream, and topped with chocolate, it was delicious. read more
