We had pizza (which I would recommend purchasing) & veggie board They only had one bathroom for about 40 people ‍ but it seemed to work. If you wanted to have a drink, you had a walk outside to the martini bar. Once there you have to wait in line at the end of the bar and it was packed full. It reminded me of an old lounge.

I stood at the bar for 30 minutes waiting for a drink a few visits ago while the bartenders took shots with other guests and got absolutely trashed while I was waiting to be served to the point that other patrons at the bar were asking me if I needed them to get the bartenders attention to make my drink, meanwhile the staff was avoiding eye contact and refusing to acknowledge me. tonight at 9:30 they came up to my table and told us it was last call (according to google this bar closes at 12) and brought us our checks. we paid cash and they didn't bring us change- assuming you're getting tipped 66% on a table you refused to wait on is insane and I had to go inside and ask for both mine and my sisters change where I was met with eye rolls and dirty looks from the girl with the braid who had been giving us dirty looks all night. this bar is convenient for me and my sister to meet and catch up each week and to be met with such blatant disrespect is beyond disappointing. closing the bar early so you can have a private party with your friends is not an acceptable reason to kick other patrons out and it has happened times before. we will not be returning, which is disappointing to both of us.

The food is full of flavor, beautifully put together, and clearly made with care. There's a great balance between creativity and comfort here. The menu offers something a little different while still delivering the kind of satisfying, memorable meal you want to come back for. The atmosphere is inviting, the service is friendly, and the whole experience feels like a local gem. Whether you're grabbing a meal or looking for a great place to sit down and enjoy yourself, Hook & Hoof is absolutely worth checking out. Five stars--another fantastic spot in Willoughby.

They were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crisp. My friend who ordered the sesame chicken salad said it was pretty good but might not order it again. The Cobb salad was very good. My husband loved his burger and said it was juicy. Aside from the food, the patio at the Willoughby location is fabulous! We loved the fans overhead that kept us nice and cool on such a hot day. We also liked that a portion of the patio is covered which obviously provides more shade. The server was friendly and attentive. Even if you don't eat here, I'd recommend grabbing drinks and sitting in the covered part of their patio! It's definitely an asset to this location.

Unfortunately, that was not my experience with "Sage Karma Kitchen". We showed up there for a quick dinner. The room was maybe 25% full. Plenty of room for seating. The hostess thought it was a great idea to sit us directly in the scorching sun rather than every other table in the room that would have been shaded... oh well. Our waitress showed up to take our order before we had a chance to even pick up the menus. We asked for just a couple minutes and she cheerfully walked away. Seemingly, never to return. I looked all around for her until I found her leaning on the bar talking to friends. We finally placed our orders, somewhat begrudgingly. My wife had a bowl that she definitely enjoyed very much. She said she would like to return to try it again. I struggled to find anything on the menu that sounded remotely interesting and finally just ordered the hummus appetizer. I fear they left the flavor in the kitchen. It certainly never arrived at my table. When we were ready to leave I had to begin the search once more for our waitress. She was nowhere to be found. I couldn't even enlist the aid of the hostess because she had found a group of her own friends to talk with. Finally, I found our waitress and was able to escape. The two stars is only because my wife enjoyed her bowl. For me... naaa! Too bad. No second chance here.

Took a while to even get drinks, eventually asked for food and she just walked away, didn't give us a menu or tell us anything just walked away and continued to ignore us focusing on the other side of the bar but mainly one person.

But when the bartender that's already ignoring you is standing behind the kitchen door eating food staring at you and the guy working the kitchen is also just standing around it feels pretty disrespectful. then to top it off she stole a 5+ cash tip and didn't even bring me a receipt as she obviously knew what she was doing.

If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.

The one bartender with blonde super curly hair was wearing a stripper outfit and twerking with her barely there mini skirt and easy to see thong on for all the men at the bar. Not to mention the two handfuls of shots she did with other patrons only added to her belligerent behavior. The other bartender was clearly picking up the slack but was also drinking heavily. Both were very pleasant with us but not very attentive. Food was good. Witnessed multiple people coming to the bar and waiting to be served and leaving without being helped after several minutes. The bar was not that busy and had many open seats mind you. I will mention, I put myself through school being a bartender and I know that letting loose with regulars helped build lasting friendships but I could never imagine getting that intoxicated while at work. I'm hoping that the owners of this bar aren't loosing their asses on giving away merchandise. If I was the owner, I would literally fire everyone but the cook. if you want a freak show.... This is your place to go. BTW... giving 2 stars because my food was good and beer was cold.

Now at the boys table- my husband got the Irishman Burger another got Nora's famous bowl another got fish and chips.. Nora's famous bowl, which was full of chunks of fried chicken over mashed potatoes with a Guinness gravy was a big hit! I will probably get that next time. One of the girls got the smoked Gouda mac & cheese, and added shrimp to it.... Sadly, this was not one of their best dishes. My friend really did not like it.

Now, they have this bar set up like a pop up Christmas bar. I love downtown Willoughby because you could imagine this place was once somebody's home. It's been beautifully converted into a nice little bar. If you want to escape the loudness of Nora's downstairs, you can go upstairs to Finn's. Now, I understand you can rent this place out. But they have Christmas ales they have appropriately menu-ed Christmas drinks. Now, we weren't there for dinner time, so I have no idea if they served food up there, but I imagine they do. It was really cool because if you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit, they found a way to do it. And this little Christmas bar just made me so happy. It looks warm and inviting from the outside. That coupled with a brisk wind in downtown Willoughby. Made this place an awesome addition to our night.
