We had the loaded waffle fries to start but the fries and pork were severely oversalted. We were hoping this was a one off and didn't complain, even though I'm sure our server recognized we weren't enjoying them. My friend had ordered some fries with her wings and those were even saltier, to the point you could hold one up and see the crystallization of salt all over. They were essentially inedible. We also tried the Reuben pizza they had on special, it wasn't for us. Way too much thousand Island sauce, to the point it was the best I could describe as 'goopy', fortunately they took it back and off of our bill. The server was very nice and accommodating, so they still have great customer service! I'm hoping this was a one off with the food. Like I said, we used to visit frequently and never had any issues.

A place called Characters Bar & Grill kept coming up. So here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is like... at the EDGE of Cleveland's city limits. Lol. Brookpark Road or something. Once I pulled up it just felt like a nice, neighborhood spot! It does have a private parking lot, big outdoor section (where we sat) and plenty of space on the inside. It's a traditional setup. TVs everywhere, random swag and decor all throughout, plenty of high-top tables for seating and a big bar rail. The energy was lively and the music was so random. Lol. If you've been, you know what I mean. Service: I can't remember the name of who took care of us, but she was funny, sweet and just made sure we had everything that we needed. Food: While here I was able to try a few wings, so let's begin. First up were the Mike's Sweet Island Heat. For the record, if you order 10 wings, you can split them into 2-5s for an extra $1.00 if you want separate flavors. Also, on the menu there are 3 "types" of sauces that they offer. The first kind are Buffalo based sauces, the 2nd are barbecue based sauces and the last is "other". Lol. Anyway, these looked amazing, were super saucy and were a decent, seemingly normal size. I got lots of good fruity notes and aromatics as I put the wing to my nose. After tasting the flavors carried through with a bold, fruity, rich flavor. There was good spice and it felt like a chipotle based spice. It was a unique flavor for sure that I hadn't tasted before. Next up was Lenny's Honey Sriracha Teriyaki which is a mouthful of a name, but the flavors showed up! It was a good teriyaki base with citrusy lemon flavors that actually made my lips pucker just a bit. These weren't spicy at all, but it was missing something, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Next up was Chipotle which I was lead to believe would be the hottest sauce on the menu based on it's placement on the menu, but I was wrong. This one did have some GOOD heat to it. The ingredients were balanced very well that created very bold, rich, hearty, chipotle flavors. I really liked this one. Next up were the Mild Buffalo. These were super saucy, juicy and had a very straightforward traditional Buffalo flavor that had some excellent flavor. The bleu cheese to go with these was a creamy, mild sauce that would cool your mouth down if you can't handle the spice. Next up was the XXX Buffalo which is actually the hottest sauce on the menu. The sauce was a bit watery which is a dead giveaway that it wouldn't be as spicy as it claims to be. It was still delicious, but the spice took a while to kick in, but it's nothing to write home about. It was like a kicked up Buffalo. Value: It's a sports bar, so the food won't be terrible expensive. I was there on Wednesday and wings were $1.00 each. Not bad at all considering how expensive I've see some. They even had $5.00 steaks this night, but I can only imagine them being a Salisbury steak or something. Lol. In conclusion, I had a blast here. The food was great, the people are awesome, I felt welcomed and it just felt like a good place to hang out! I look forward to returning and trying some more flavors!

AMBIANCE: We stopped in during the college football weekend. We opted to sit at a booth in the sports bar area. It was very rowdy and festive! My family mentioned that usually the bar was more quiet during their previous few visits. The guests seemed like regulars, all in good spirits, in Ohio state attire, and with beer buckets. It was a very celebratory day with Ohio chants! The sports bar is surprisingly spacious. There is a bar area for sports fans, quiet dining area for families, and separate event room. This separation caters to many occasions and clients. I loved the idea of various vibes and noise levels. The focal point, sports bar area, has TV's lining the walls, CLE decor, bar seating, tables, and comfy booths. FOOD/DRINKS: Food menu is extensive, actually there are four or five menus including seasonal and football specials. There are also daily specials. Don't expect average bar food, the food is seriously delicious! Great prices for the quality and portions! We ordered Gold BBQ wings that were so flavorful and delicious. Great value at 6 wings for $7 for CLE Wing Week. We also ordered multiple London Broils ($18.99 each), which is a weekend special. London Broil was perfectly hearty. It includes a generous serving of grilled marinated steak strips, homemade mashed potatoes with gravy, and veggies. The meat was cooked to perfection and very generous serving. The potatoes were with a bit of skin and truly made in house. I'm not a big gravy person but the thick and flavorful gravy was so good! I could eat these London Broils every weekend especially in colder months. London Broils sometimes run out at the end of the weekend, so check in before you go. Drink menu was extensive. I was sipping water, my mom tried Touchdown Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary was football day special. We were all surprised that for $5 the drink came with bacon, celery, and an onion ring toppings. My mom described the drink as perfectly spicy. SERVICE: I was impressed with the service considering the crowd. Our waitress was so attentive and pleasant. It's rare to have such good service. I was very pleasantly surprised. PARKING: Large private parking lot is available. It wraps around the building. Our entire experience here was great! If you're looking for a low key spot with amazing food, try Tony K's. I can't wait to be back for London Broils! I also would love to further explore the menu next time!
