My wife and I stopped in to stress eat, that's what we do... Our go-to food is wings and we've read reviews of the rusty barrel that said they had good ones. First off, I nice little neighborhood bar, good setting, and some of the booths have their own little tv so you can watch stuff up close and personal. We didn't have to wait long for the wings, which were a decent size by the way. We ordered three flavors; their award winning Cajun bbq, pepper garlic, and the hot buffalo. I am not a huge fan of bbq on chicken in general but these were pretty good I'm not going to lie. The Parmesan wings were very flavorful and had the potential to be mind blowing but it wasn't unfortunately. The flavor was spot on but unfortunately being a dry rub it was as pleasant of a mouth feel. If they had somehow made that flavor into a sauce it would blow minds. Also the hot wings were good as usual. Kinda hard to not make a good classic hot wing. :) In all a pretty good experience but could use some improvement. read more

I ordered takeout wings online. One of the orders was the wrong flavor. But I did think the wings were good- I would just check them before I leave next time. read more

Great wings. Bar atmosphere. A little cramped but worth it. Parking is a little difficult.

Went early on a Sunday for some wings and a cold one. What a great menu! Wings were crispy and fun to decide what style (cuz there are many!)... and the locals were chill. I absolutely love corner bars that have this midwestern warmth. Such a chill spot. read more

Everyone who works here is incredibly kind and the food hits the spot! The wings are 10/10! super appreciative of the fun, chill, home like atmosphere! read more

We get sat down and don't get out orders taken for 45 minutes. On top of that out waitress came out multiple times and told us just a minute. IT PROCEEDED TO TAKE OVER AN HOUR TO GET OUR WINGS. We saw people get sat eat and leave before we even could even sniff our food. And then finally we finish eating and it takes another 30 minutes to get our check. Will never be back. read more

So they were #2 for wings in Cleveland magazine or scene. The wings were good but not the best in Cleveland. I had a burger for dinner and for the first time ever I only had 3 bites and left the rest on plate. Not sure what the other food was like but I would not recommend the burgers. read more

Great tasting food. I like the menu choices. Great for takeout. Seems like a nice local hangout.

Good neighborhood local bar with good food and wings, reminds you of the regal beagle

Cozy little bar that supports soccer, which is cool. Love the wings! Service has always been attentive too. Definitely recommend!

Great wings and laid back atmosphere. Great place to go for bar food on a casual night out.

Amazing good food and good drinks( with alcohol). The service is fast and very welcoming. We ordered apps and burgers. They burgers are on point. Forgot to take a picture of the food but it was good! If I was to come back again, I would visit this spot! read more

Great wings! Wednesday specials. Sweating Bullets is one of the hottest sauces I've ever tried. Fries are good. Beer is cold. Could use a big TV for the games. read more

I assumed short staffed, only two waitresses on a Saturday night. Took about 30 min from time order was placed to table. Not that busy either. Glad I looked on Yelp for the coupon! Enjoyed the Tv at the table. Quite a lot of "regulars" type bar. All the ppl seemed to know one another there. We felt like outsiders for sure. Maybe we'll go back? Haven't decided yet. read more

Karen was a very attentive waitress, also very friendly. The burger was good and so were the fries; although the burger didn't seem to be hand pressed, which we prefer. A very nice atmosphere, not loud and rowdy, very clean. Oh and so reasonably priced! We will be back read more

Had heard rumors that this is the place for wings on the West side...it did not disappoint! My daughter and I gave this spot a try for a recent dinner outing. We started by sharing a side salad with their (house) zinfandel vinaigrette dressing which was tangy and very tasty (great size to split). As a side dish we ordered their onion rings which were plump and served with barrel sauce (like the sauce from an Outback bloomin' onion)...they were crispy and delicious. Glad our waitress insisted we try the sauce! We tried two different wing flavors..."hot" and garlic parmesan. The hot wings were crispy and not overly sauced (maybe could have used a bit more sauce) and they had a distinct vinegar flavor nut definitely in the traditional Buffalo style. The garlic parmesan wings were also crispy and on the drier side, but the flavor was pungent with a light garlic accent. Good value for the price, will definitely go back! read more

Year after year, we've visited the RB and have never been disappointed! Sure it's a bar and they serve great bar food. The staff and owner are super friendly and dedicated to serving a consistently good meal! read more

Rusty Barrel always has great food! But when I was last in the blond bartender was more concerned about tending to her boyfriend and sitting down at the bar. Terrible bartender/ service from her. read more

Love this bar! LOVE THEIR WINGS! Cold beer, friendly people, and a nice dive bar atmosphere. What more Could you as for? read more

Broken not sauced ( I asked for crispy extra sauce). .$1 a wing for what they served me is awful. I feel like I got taken. Never again. read more

You want the best wings in Cleveland its right here at rusty barrel. The jerk chicken wings are amazeballs. The garlic parmesan wings are a revelation. Just good old fashioned neighborhood joint. read more

Came here because of the deal for $10 for $20. Ordered a couple of beers and a couple of burgers. I order and the black and blue burger and my partner ordered the bottom of the barrel burger. We asked for medium and they were way over medium in our regards; however I will take taste over preference. Both burgers were amazing. The fries were delicious; and the chips..yum. definitely worth a visit if you are in the Westlake area. read more

See all

Came in town for a graduation party, found this place, and it was great , Karen was our waitress, she took great care of us, I wish there was a place like this up north ! read more

Absolutely the BEST most addictive wings in town! I love wings and have had them in MANY restaurants in the area but when I stumbled on to Rusty Barrel, I was hooked. Their mild wings are super tasty (my old go-to) but after seeing all the awards for the Cajun grilled wings, I just had to try them! And now I see why they are award winning. They come out hot with very apparent grill marks on the exterior and a sticky brown glaze. The sauce is incredibly well balanced- sweet, tangy, mildly spicy with a lovely vinegar kick. Trust me, you can't eat just one! The service is always friendly and all the bartenders and servers and just lovely! Especially Michelle! The interior of the building is a clean, one room, bar and tables. TVs everywhere including individual TVs and remotes for the booths. Overall, a great neighborhood bar with great beer and even better food! read more

The Rusty Barrel - Cajun grilled wings with ranch! - Sports Bars Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

I love this little bar. The food is really good. I don't really like wings and will only get them from here and Greenhouse Tavern. I get the cajun ones extra crispy. Also their subs are the best. I get the smokin barrel and swap the meats for turkey. The bread is so good, it's a sloppy and huge sandwich, and totally worth the calories. I recommend signing up for the membership card if you are the kind of person that likes to be rewarded with free food. My only criticism would be the service can be a little slow, but that's not a big deal. Now that I don't have Stamper's, this is my favorite neighborhood bar. read more

The rusty barrel is a well run establishments. The staff works hard, but they are always smiling, the interior is clean and cared for. The staff works together, helps each other, supports each other. The food was hot and flavorful. My wife and i had perch and A.Y.C.E. fish fry. Not "Haunt Cuisine" but a good honest meal and a good price. very tasty. Karen is an excellent server; Gracious and attentive. We ask for her each time we visit. We will come back again and agian read more

Have been here more times than I care to admit and each time the service gets WORSE! I only go there because it's close to my place of employment and my coworkers and I like to stop out after work occasionally and get a bite to eat and have a few cocktails and it's a convenient location. Never again. This past Friday we were completely ignored by the bartender, who was to busy flirting with the regulars and doing shots all night . The whole time, the owner was sitting just a few bar stools over getting his own drink on! (I only know that because my coworker had a complaint about her food and when she informed the bartender, she basically told her "too bad, take it up with him") Rude, nasty bartenders, ok food and clueless owner!!!! Stay Away!!!!! read more

This was our first, but not last visit to the Rusty Barrel. I have been by there hundreds of times and have heard good reviews about it. When we finally decided to go, what a great place. The food was excellent and the service was unbeatable. We will definitely be back. read more

Really good food. My and I loved the buffalo chicken dip with the homemade chips. The homage chips were phenomenal. The wings we had for the main course were also really good, they were hard fried the wings and sauce was really yummy. Next time I get wings in Cleveland, I'm going there!!! read more

We did take out tonight and were happy to support a local business. Everything we ordered was great! Please continue to support them!

My kinda bar.....Damn good wings, great bar service and friendly clientele. I always enjoy visiting this bar!

First time there and disappointed. We brought our family there from out of town. I ordered fries with cheese and bacon. The plate was burning hot from sitting in the window for so long. The cheese had already dried up by the time it got to our table. The fries were overcooked. My dad's sweet potato fries were room temperature. They charge 60 cents for every topping for the hot dog which adds up. The tater tots tasted like frozen ones from the grocery. Overall, we were pretty disappointed. There were a lot of older people there sitting at the bar and were having fun. So, if you are older, want to only drink and socialize, and not eat, then this place might be for you. read more

This place has my favorite wings in Cleveland. You have to go with the Grilled Cajun Barbecue. Dining area is small but they offer carry out also. read more

We'll be back! Good burgers for a great price. Can't wait to come and try the wings!!

My first visit was an informal sales lunch. Since then I have been there twice. All three times I have to say I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the staff. Although the menu is really bar food they do it very well. I have sampled three different wing flavors and all were great. The Cajun BBQ so far is my favorite. Very good burgers and wraps also. Not a fancy place just a really nice neighborhood bar with great food and reasonable prices... read more

Oh my god it smells like sewage there. The owner is standing at the bar like the patron's should accept his fowel version of under performing as an owner. Get a clue. This is a reoccurring problem that he doesn't seem to want to invest the money for a solution. I feel sorry for this guy. read more

I've been here several Times over the last 12-15 months. Bartenders are very cliquey. But always get order to go with little issue. Tonight I get a to go order and the food sat there for 15 minutes before the bartender finally brought me my order. If you go and hear the name Patty, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN OUT OF THERE. read more

Keep in mind we started with a very low expectation the place is old and dirty. food was cold very below average would not go back ever. Burger was a frozen patty and cold. Wings were small and cold. Fries with cheese and bacon look good but cold! read more
