When you enter, you line up and then get seated by a host. Our waitress was nice and kept refilling our drinks. The food there was really good. This is what we ordered and shared between the two of us: -- Onion Ring Basket (our "app") -- Black Bean Burger with Fries -- Large Veggie Pizza My husband and I had read an article from one of the Ohio tourist brochures we picked up at a travel plaza about "Cleveland Pizza." So we figured why not give it a try at the Winking Lizard. It's was really good. My husband even said he liked it better than Chicago-style. We would definitely come back again.

Visited The Oak Barrel for dinner recently. When we arrived, it was quiet and empty, which was…read moreideal. When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more. Everyone enjoyed their meals and with great service, we agreed that this could be a place we visit when we're in the area. Great stuff!

Lisa is amazing, but she can't be everywhere at once and if you're seated outside the bar, you won't get served. Friday nights are bingo nights, which are fun. But please..get two more bartenders / servers so people can eat and drink in a reasonable amount of time

Menu for both beer and food seemed limited. It has a full bar. I ordered a starter salad and Po Boy. Both were enjoyable. One person working. It was a good experience for not knowing what to expect.

Love it! 1) I didn't look like I was from the area. Always nice when someone gets my first round. 2) Bartenders- Tera was really nice! Knows all the customers and not one of those snotty ones that don't talk and want your tips. 3) That Great Lakes Christmas Ale. They up it up a level by adding cinnamon on the rim of the glass. (See pic). 4) Modern jukebox with a wide variety of music....AC/DC to Snoop Dogg. 5) The people at the bar. Welcoming and even helping us win $70 on Keno. Meh: No bar food available. I'll just have to come back next time to try their burgers. Overall an awesome night and visit to the Towne Tavern.

Update. Been a bit since we've eaten here. Still the same. Met some friends here on a Tuesday…read more Wasn't crowded. The server was very nice and accommodating. We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.

How disappointing. The corned beef was bland and like something from the grocery store. Also had…read morethe pastrami, so bland. The fries were so so. Service was good, only reason for 2 stars. Simons deli and restaurant is so much better than here.

LOL Been here many times, have never walked out saying "Wow,…read morethat was good." I tolerate it when others suggest we meet there. Last night for the Draft, they had a nice crowd at the tables, but hardly anyone at the bar. Hopped up on a tall bar chair and nearly fell off as a wooden support piece was dangling from the bottom. Switched chairs and, while I didn't fall off, I could rock back and forth on it..weak wood again. Then the LOL kicks in. Two people behind the bar. For the next two hours, we were not spoken to. Every single thing we ordered, we had to get their attention. The male was particularly hilarious as he never even made eye contact with us as we were begging for service. The food? Less than meh. Very Gordon Food Service in taste and presentation. The bill for four domestic beers, one sandwich and one small pizza (a Thursday special low price) was 54 bucks before tip! It's a mystery to me why there are so many cars in the parking lot every time I come. I know the atmosphere is good for kids (loud and big inside). But the Winking Lizard does everything this place does for less cost and 100 percent more quality. LOL!

From the welcome at the front door (Sydney is a rock star!) to attentive and friendly service at…read morethe table, our experience was great. Great beverage options including 2 ciders on draft and tons of food options. I had the $5 pizza special (THU) and my daughter had the quesadilla (her test for any place). - both were on point. Cool decor and lots of booths and comfortable options to watch a game on a big screen or enjoy the company you are with. Don't miss this gem in Broadview Heights!

Little one room place seemingly, with good food! Menu is limited to subs, sandwiches, salads, and…read moresides. Turkey bacon sub had good lettuce, nice slices of turkey, and the right amount of bacon for flavor and crunch, and a side of real mac-n-cheese (with REAL cheese)! Philly cheese sandwich was juicy and hearty, with peppers and onions cooked just right. The side of fries was fresh and crispy! Interior was cozy, with friendly atmosphere, obviously a regular hangout for some. Service was prompt and also friendly. I would recommend this place for a quick bite, or to just get out of the sun for a cold drink. I paid in cash so I don't know if they take card. Good amount of parking for a little place, and some giggles with the decor.
