Great dining experience!! The food and service were both very good! They had a lovely dining area and bar. Our server was wonderful she made some menu suggestions. If you order an appetizer, order the brussel sprouts, they're fried and made with a flavorable honey hot sauce, delicious!! For my entree I had the brisket tacos and my husband ordered a pulled pork sandwich called, Lil' Betsy. We were both very happy with our meals. Everything was great!! read more

Today we were on a mission to make Christmas magical for the kids! We went all over the area and headed over to Fremont to see Santa for a quick visit then lunch at The Garrison. The lunch was fabulous. My first time with the kids and my boyfriend's been many times. French onion soup was wonderful. It was decorated simple and classic for the holidays. Service was great! Check it out with or without kids! Great kids menu as well and super fair priced. He loved the Elk burger. read more

The food here is excellent and the space itself is really warm and charming. It's the kind of place you want to love. Unfortunately the service felt very indifferent during our visit. Staff seemed disengaged and we rarely saw our server after the food was delivered. With a little more attention to hospitality this place could be fantastic. read more

Amazing. Traveling from Indiana to Cleveland, looking for places to stop for a quick lunch. Garrison is my maiden name so of course this was the natural choice. Service was quick and friendly. The manager stopped by with treats after I told him while we stopped. The drinks and beer selection are fantastic. The specials give a nice touch. The elote dip was spectacular. Drive out of the way to stop here, it is well worth it! read more

There is a bartender, Leslie, that makes visiting the bar well worthwhile. Her drinks are always perfection, and her personality is welcoming. Every Friday evening, I bring 6 friends there for dinner and appetizers. It has become our Friday to go. We especially loved the Oct. Wagyu steak special; hope it is brought back soon. Looking forward to the holiday drinks! read more

Onion rings sounded good instead of fries, waitress informed me about the up charge- however I expected more than 2.5 onion rings! They weren't even good for an up charge! Thin 1 layer slimey onion inside! No fault of Waitress. read more

Wednesday night my family and I had dinner at The Garrison in Fremont, Ohio, and it turned into one of those moments we'll never forget. I was wearing my Vietnam Veterans hat, and during our meal someone very kindly paid for our dinner. We never found out who it was, but their generosity meant a lot to us. The food and service at The Garrison were great, but what really stood out tonight was the kindness of a stranger. It was a touching reminder that there are still wonderful, appreciative people out there who take a moment to say "thank you" in their own way. To the person who paid for our meal--thank you. Your kindness truly meant a lot to me and my family, and it's something we'll remember for a long time. Thanks again, Darrell Rogers read more

The three of us ordered four starters and each had a couple adult beverages at lunchtime on a Friday and they were all delicious. The pulled pork nachos, Brussels, pork schnitzel and kraut balls were all delish and I always love an espresso martini. Our waitress, Sarah, was helpful with recommendations, checked in more than enough, we never had an empty glass, and she was a lot of fun. I'm all about the vibe when looking for a place to eat. I loved the old exposed brick inside and the lighting. The upstairs was equally chill and there was a huge back beer garden patio. Definitely recommend and we will be back soon. read more

We were here off hours on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Patio was lovely. Server was attentive. I had a grilled salmon salad that was simple, very fresh and tasty. The salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband had the roast beef sandwich. He's picky, and he was happy with it. His portion was very generous, so he's looking forward to his leftovers. We would definitely stop in again when in Fremont. read more

Had lunch here this week with a group of five traveling on business. A couple of our group had been here previously, but this was my first time. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately and taken to our table. Extremely friendly hostess is always a good start. we did have an appetizer which were a sort of homemade tater tot. That was very good. Ended up getting a half fish sandwich with a cup of chili. Just right for lunch. I did see someone get the four fish sandwich plate and it was huge. we had several various items on the table that were selected and everyone enjoyed their meal. The club sandwich is very large and will fill you up for sure. I can tell they have a good drink selection for evening and dinner, or even the weekends. They do have an outside patio, which would also be welcoming during the warmer months. I will definitely come back when in the area. read more

The bar tenders are horrible i had to wait ten minutes to even get asked if i wanted a drink they could care less

Great menu. Awesome food. A bit pricey but the quality and the service makes it worth while.

A family gathering brought us to a central location and we agreed to give The Garrison a try. Due to high ceilings and open foyer, it did get noisy in a hurry. Food selection and pricing was decent. Our server seemed to get lost from time to time, did seem flustered when she did make it to us, and forgot to bring items to the table. Sadly, the desserts were less than to be desired. All of us gathered as a family coming from different areas and that was all that mattered. read more

Food was amazing. I would quit my job and move here just so I could eat dinner here every night. I'm not kidding. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Don't tempt me. I'll do it!!!! read more

Stopped in for lunch as we were driving through. The server Leslie was great, the runners were pleasant and the atmosphere was perfect. Nice to see a busy place at lunch hour on a wednesday. Oh, and the food was excellent. I had a $40 steak later in the day, at a fancy restaurant that was nothing near as good as the Garrison's smashburger at lunch. read more

Awesome food and drinks, great service! This place is definitely worth a visit; you won't be disappointed.

Having been to The Garrison many times, as it has been a favorite for meeting friends, after tonight I will not return. Although the service was not good, I'm giving our server a break and assume it was because they were busy. It was the fact that my elderly mother (95 years old) called me during dinner, I went in to the empty upstairs meeting room (adjacent to our table) to take the call where I could hear. While I was attempting to speak to my mom, servers came in the room to start cleaning the tables off. At the same time, I was ordered to leave the room by another woman server. As I attempted to tell her I was only going to be a minute, she again told me to get out. I hung up the phone, and being shocked and upset about being treated that way, called to my husband from the doorway of the room, at which time she again yelled at both myself and my husband to leave the room. She also stated that the only thing between the room and patrons entering the room was us! I walked downstairs to go outside to call my mom back, and as they told me at the exit to have a good night, I explained to the two young ladies and a gentleman standing at the exit, that I was not having a good night, and asked for a manager. As one of the girls shook her head no, the gentleman asked what I needed. When I asked him if he was the manager, his response, "why do you think I asked what you needed?" When I told him what happened he said she had an attitude, and he would talk to her. And that's it. No apology. Nothing. When I recommended to our four friends who accompanied us to go to The Garrison for dinner, they were happy to try it. Disrespecting patrons in your facility is not a way to bring back return business. read more

We have tried this place twice before, first time not impressed. food was bland, burger over cooked and cold. Second time not much better. Save your money you can get better food at Applebees or Bob Evans. read more

We found this place on the way home from cedar point and we loved it! The staff was great, atmosphere was nice and the food was amazing! Our kinda picky 8 year old literally ate every bite of her steak bites and our burgers were delicious! Just what we needed after a long day of riding rides, and we will def be back next time!! read more

We stopped at the Garrison on the way through town on a work trip. I might actually make a special trip just to go back, it was that good! The lunch specials were nice, I got a pick two so I was able to try more than one thing. Service was very friendly. read more

I searched for fine dining in the Fremont, Ohio area, and the Garrison showed up. We went and walked in to a pub. NOT fine dining. Hard tables and chairs. No tablecloths or cloth napkins. Loud/noisy pub. The menu was mostly pub/fried foods. The brisket dinner was sold out--and it wasn't even 5:00 yet on a Saturday. I will say that the food was mostly tasty. However, I wanted to substitute out some sides for a healthier option, and I was told "there is a $2 charge for every side you switch out." Are you kidding me? So if I wanted to switch my two sides, my dinner was going to cost $4 more? We almost walked out. The sides are (I'm sure) right next to each other in the kitchen. I have never heard of such terrible rule. There were no premium sides. So I was just looking for a different option from the regular sides that were listed. Suffice it to say we would never return--based on that rule alone. Our waitress was not the most "present" either, making us long for the waitress at the table next to us. What should have been a lovely Saturday evening out was marred pretty heavily. read more

The sandwich was dry and that's being kind. Our sauerkraut potato puffs while looking very burnt , actually tasted alright.

I ordered the Sirloin Salad. This came with about 4 oz of steak, cooked to order. I would've probably chose something else if I knew there was such little steak. The candied pecans were really good and added a sweeter profile to the savory steak. The crispy onions were awesome too! The service was pretty slow, but they were nice. They had a nice venue on the inside with a wrap around bar and an upstairs area. Additionally, there is a patio on the outside. read more

Visited about 5:30 on a Saturday night, fairly full with a large group in the party room. Very nice ambiance. We were seated upstairs near the bar, and overall, comfortable atmosphere. Terrific selection of microbrews on tap. Had Ohio Weather, a port, which I enjoyed very much. Our server was attentive, but busy. Food was SLOW coming out of the kitchen, and we ordered before the large group. Had the sauerkraut puffs (appetizer), though couldn't taste the sauerkraut in them. Somewhat of a disappointment, and the sauce they were served with was meh. Ordered the prime rib special, and was somewhat disappointed here as well. The house salad was nice, but very small. The prime rib was largely either crunchy-burned or fat. Significantly overcooked from the med-rare I requested as well. Less than half of the prime rib was edible. It was recommended that I get the chef's special seasoning on it, but didn't like it. Pretty sure it was just way too much Lowrey's season salt, yuck. The 'horseradish sauce' appeared to be just a side of sour cream. (Would have asked again for horse radish sauce, but had waited sufficiently long enough for dinner, and it wasn't worth it to wait again IMO). Sadly, the au jus was the best part of the dish. My son had a burger and house-made chips which he enjoyed. He chided me for being too picky, though for that price point, I expected something edible. Overall, a decent place for a microbrew and upscale bar food. Would probably give it another go if we find ourselves in the area, though would lower my expectation, and stick to burgers. read more

Food was decent, but the service was awful. We had reservations. We are taken to our table and it not clean. So the hostess leaves us at the table and says be right back we need to clean this table. We finally get seated and we wait, finally a waitress comes over and says did anybody pick ur table up yet. Nope....ok so I guess I will. We order and place our entire order because it's been so long. Drinks come amazing Summer Breeze drink. Then we wait and typically doesn't your soup and salad come before the entree? Here they bring it all at once. After reminding them that they forgot my wife's soup they looked at me , like I was crazy . Then they comeback all apologetic saying it never got put in on the ticket so the added it. No offer to comp or anything. Here we are traveling celebrating our anniversary and we picked this place for the reviews and now I wish I had not it was bad. The only good thing was the musician they hired to play his guitar and keyboard. read more
