We stumbled upon this place on the way to do some climbing at Whipp's Ledges. We'd planned to grab a bite to eat at Whitey's, but learned that they wouldn't be serving food until 4 pm. So we took off in the car and ended up at Teschner's Tavern, which looked from the outside to be an absolute hole in the wall. When we walked in there was only one other patron, a guy sitting at the end of the bar sipping on a drink. I asked if the kitchen was open and was told that it absolutely was. The menus were given to us, and I was quite impressed with the selection of food available. I asked what was "good o order today" and the bartender told me that I should order the Mac 'n Cheese, and ask for bacon and diced tomato in it. She told me this was "f***ing good", so I decided with a testimonial like that I should go for it! This dish was $3.95. I also ordered a mini cheeseburger which was $1.50. My boyfriend ordered the chicken philidephia sandwich and onion rings. After we put in our order, we decided to sit at a table instead of the bar, as it had a direct view of a gorgeous flat screen TV where we could watch the start of the OSU game. A few things that kept this restaurant from getting 4 stars were observed as we waited for our food. 1) ambiance- basically this place has none of it, but that isn't really what we were looking for. 2) service- again, not really any service. The cook pretty much was in the back cooking and occasionally came out, the bartender was chatting with the now 2 patrons at the bar. We were the only 2 guests. She did bring my a whole pitcher of soda to the table, but my boyfriend's water never got refilled. 3) the first beer my boyfriend ordered was at the end of the keg. She gave him that 1/4 pint anyway, for free, but it was kind of gross with a bunch of floaties in it. But then... came the food. It was AMAZING. Nothing at all that I would have expected coming from a place like this. Everything tasted like it was freshly made. I felt like I was at my grandma's house. Flavor, flavor, flavor! My Mac 'n Cheese was so creamy and cheesy and gooey. The tomato and bacon with it really DID make it f'in good. My "mini cheeseburger" was about the size I would make a regular burger on the grill at home. And it tasted just like something my dad would have delivered to my plate, like the ground beef had just been pressed into a patty immediately before it was fired up, nothing processed or frozen. My boyfriend's chicken Philly was a bit surprising. It was on a regular bun instead of a hoagie roll, and had an actual chick breast on it. Again, this reminded me of going over to Grandma's and she threw this together with what she had in the kitchen at the time. The onion rings were also phenomenal. My grandpa had a fryer when I was growing up, and would slice up some thick onions, bread them, and throw them in. These tasted just like Grandpa's. The lady who was cooking when we were there, Michelle, loves to cook and it comes across clearly on the plate. Our lunch was excellent. If I'm ever in that area again, for a walk of for climbing, I am absolutely stopping in at Teschner's for a bite to eat. read more

This place is a gem! Happened upon Teschner's Tavern on our way to Blossom. Wildly varied and interesting menu. You will, most definitely, find something for anyone. Loved every bite of our food and sip of our drinks. read more

Service was good and food was decent. Tables very close together. Disappointed to see a 4 percent credit card service fee on our bill.

Gread food and prices. Only Downside is the Restaurant is small so seating is limited during busy times.

Arrived at 4:30 on a Saturday and the place was nearly full already. Wait staff was fantastic- great service. The shrimp corn chowder was delicious. The hamburgers are HUGE! read more

I love this place. The food are always delicious. They have different menus for lunch and dinner. St both time all foods are great. Staff are nice and helpful. Very clean. Good for a family friends and date. They have outside seats usually with some heaters so it's comfortable even in winter time. read more

We have been going to Teschners for over 10 years. Great people, great food!! Best wings in AMERICA!!! Never had an "off day". This is a place of love! They care and always will!. You may need to wait a minute but we know they will always take care of you. read more

Teschners is always amazing. The food and the staff. I have never had anything less that delicious

Never been treated so rudely at a restaurant. This is not the first time the guys behind the bar spoke to us in a very demeaning manor. We have been there twice...first and last! read more

On a soccer trip and just stopped in for a quick bite. The bar managed to find me a seat despite a packed house. Some nice and diverse beer selections served in a cold glass. Bar service was very prompt, friendly, funny, and I felt like I was a regular. Ordered a sweet bbq burger and sweet potatoes. Burger was spot on and big! Sweet potato fries had some surprise sugar powder on them. Highly recommend the spot for food and kind service. Cheers read more

Don't let the looks deceive you. They now have the best food in Richfield. Amazing wings. Very good burgers and the specials come out of nowhere. Had a braised beef with a (locally grown) corn salsa on top of a great corn bread that was amazing. Reasonably priced also. read more

Visited here for dinner tonight for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We had 7 in our party and seating was very limited. The server was super friendly and accommodating. I ordered the BLTB Burger with onion rings and it was amazing! Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Everyone really loved their food except my grandpa who got garlic parmesan wings. He said they were way too dry. We had ordered a few plates of wings and everyone else seemed to love them. The server gave my dad a free piece of cheesecake to celebrate his day. He was a very nice guy. Will definitely come back but not with as many people!! read more

Teschner's Tavern - Brandy burger. One bad ass burger and they have a special mustard sauce that is out of this world - Dive Bars Near Me - Richfield, Ohio

This is the perfect dive bar: awkward layout, wood paneling everywhere, cheap can/bottle beer with a local brew on tap (today was Akron's own Mucky Duck), super friendly server/bar tender, fun locals sitting next to you at the bar, and unexpectedly great food. Our guy behind the bar shared some of their house made mustard for the bar pretzel rods and it was delicious. It's a tasty combo of a sweet honey mustard with the kick of horseradish. Their pierogies are from right down the street at Pierogies of Cleveland (POC) so you can't go wrong with that. And the best of the day was the mac n' cheese burger. The kind of delicious that you can't stop eating it even when you are busting at the seams full. read more

Unassuming on the outside but great food. Wings, polish boy, steak and burgers were all excellent!

We were looking for a bar and grill and found this gem! Best soup and wedge salad I had in a long time and my son's bacon burger was amazing! The dry rub wings were great too! The locals were super nice and they were nice when my boys were trying to learn how to play pool! read more

This place has been on my radar for awhile. We finally took the hike out to try it. It's a great local (kinda hole in the wall) bar. But we were shocked to walk in and see it packed in the middle of the week about 9pm. Ample parking. A bit confusing which door to go in since there were 2 in front and both had a screen door with a regular door. Old school, yes, but fits the place. We found out either door is fine. Basically you seat yourself. There are 2 sides connected with a long bar but separated by bathrooms in the middle. So we watched locals walk from one side to the other along the front with the little hallway of bathrooms instead of along the bar side since it was a tight squeeze. Not many tables but we found one two top available. Mixed crowd of younger adults/older adults. They had a small pool table and my hubby who hasn't played in 20 years played against a younger guy. They had a good time as the young guys thought my hubby was a pool shark! Lol. The servers are super nice! And the people that worked the kitchen and helped bring out food were nice and accommodating. We had hot wings and they were among the best I've had around neo! Not kidding. The jalapeño poppers were tasty, your typical frozen ones. A local that goes often told us we HAVE to go on wetfor burger night cause they are cheaper and have the BEST burgers...so guess that's our plan for this coming Wednesday! Can't wait! read more

Disappointed by this restaurant.. it was recommended to us by a couple who goes here quite often. Upon arrival everything was ok - environment is very dark and the place appears (and I'm sure is) pretty old. We sat (a table of 4) and had a young girl as our waitress. Service was pretty slow.. we ordered out food and salads that we specifically asked to come out first never did (actually, they didn't even come out with the food, either..) so we said we would no longer like the salads. Food was average, but nothing I would ever say I need to come back for. Also, they charge you a credit card fee without telling you. Nothing was offered and no apologies were given about all the missing salads. I had a gotten the burger and it was pretty dry/ not good. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Small, out of the way place with GREAT food! Never liked dry rub wings until I had the curry lime and six pepper. Burgers are awesome, chicken sandwich is awesome. read more

Really enjoyed this small, local watering hole! Inside it's very out dated but comfortable. Long wooden bar, large open dinning room and friendly staff. I was pretty excited to see that they had Mucky duck brewery on tap, which I've never seen anywhere. Also, if you want domestic, the prices are very desirable. They make a homemade mustard that they serve with pretzel rods and my friends were very impressed and took a sample home. The food was very tasty. I got a burger topped with homemade Mac and cheese. I've had a burger made this way more than once and I must say this was my favorite version. We also tried the pierogis, which were cooked well and also tasty! It's absolutely a place I would return for a cheap beer and a quick, delicious bite! read more

Food is excellent and the price are great!! We started coming here after my grandson baseball games in the summer. Taco Tuesday worth the get out of the cold weather and warm up with their homemade tacos. By far the best tacos I have ever had!!! read more

We were travelers in the area for a wedding. We had an amazing meal. Everything was very good: service, drinks, ESPECIALLY the food! Two of us had the ribeye and it was cut fresh off the slab. Cooked perfectly. All of the sides and appetizers were great. If I ever find my way back in Ohio, I will definitely be making a stop here. read more

Great food. Good drinks. Small but very friendly place with 1 pool table. Worth every penny. A bit out of the way but will return next time we are near here. read more

This place is a hidden gem. You walk into a bar and get served food that's as good as any high end steakhouse. We all got the ribeye dinner, and it was one of the better steaks I've had. I know it sounds odd, but the homemade range dressing is killer. We finished off dinner with the fried cheesecake. It's crazy good. The four of us all had ribeye dinners with drinks and desert for for just under $200 with tip. They could have charged double and I'd have been happy. The service was great as well. This is an all around good spot. We'll definitely be back. read more

First timers pleasantly surprised. Service was friendly and good. Tried the Mac n cheeseburger, great! Food was hot and the beer was cold! What more can you want. We'll be back read more

Here are attributes that a true dive bar should have: A regular clientele with regular bar seats -- the kind of people who might turn to look at you when you walk in, but then turn back to their beers, minding their own business and expecting you to mind yours; graffiti on the walls (or, at the very least, on the restroom walls); an old-school jukebox (not the internet variety; extra points if it takes quarters or dollar bills), tuned a little too loud; at least one pool table; and furnishings repaired with duct tape. This place rocks! read more
