This week is lobster Mac special week. I order it for lunch it, amazing! Plan to go again before Sat. Five stars, only for lobster Mac. (Ps: not on the menu, check online):) read more

This review is way overdue...exactly 18 yrs overdue. I have been a fan of this Winking Lizard location since 1998 which was my first visit to any Winking Lizard and I continue to stop in. This is where I learned about Belgium ales way back when. Their beer list list is definlty solid with a huge varity, probably one of the largest in the Cleveland area,over 100 beers by the bottle. Overall the food and service has been consistant for the most part. I'm a fan and I will probably contuine to visit. read more

average food.....the dining room was like a cafeteria style restaurant, kinda like where the actors on *the wire* eat....just no intimacy. Waitstaff was very average at best. Either overwhelmed or uninterested, but just didnt leave a reason for a return visit. Food was decent, just nothing to honestly write home about. Hot wings heavy with vinegar, blue shroom burger came out medium well even though requested medium rare. Very dry. The Maui Maui sandwich was good, just a very small portion. Give it a try, maybe you will do better than we did... read more

Best beer selection in Cleveland/Ohio. Many beers on tap and hundreds available by the bottle. Additionally the draft beers are frequently alternated. Good appetizers and bar food (with wing night on Mon/Tue) but the beer selection definitely stands out more that the food. read more

Maybe it was late or the chicken was old but bland with the sauces. Nachos? Not sure what those were too much cheese. I probably should have not gotten take out. Food like this should be eaten in house and not take out. I was a bit disappointed after the first bite. I had high expectations for 20 plus spent on 20 wings and some nachos. read more

Winking Lizard Tavern - Comoto dragon? - American Near Me - Bedford Heights, Ohio

They will overcharge you and bring the wrong food out to you late, then bring the right food out to you after your whole party has gotten their checks. Pretty sure their pizza is just Digiorno...no, Digiorno is better. Go somewhere else. read more

The best part is, It's next door to Lizardville. A good place to watch the game and scarf some above average pub fare. I mean pretzel buns, hello. The beer selection is pretty good too. But, the best part about this Winking Lizard, is it's right next door to Lizardville (My only 5 star to date). read more

Great craft beer selection but the service is offensively horrible. 7 people leasirely sitting around the bar and it takes a bar back to acknowledge me after 30+ mins. No other attention paid till I called out for bill... too busy cleaning glasses it seems? read more

great food and awesome service. I had to track down an old recite for work and the team was very helpful. 5 star service 5 star food 5 star atmosphere read more

I got take-out twice in the past couple of weeks from this restaurant. Both time we ordered a Buffalo Chicken salad which was pretty good and both times we got honey mustard wings. The wings are dry, tough, and tasteless. I phoned to complain the first time and was given an apology and a credit to get it again. The second time they were really no better. The wings are overcooked and taste like they were cooked once and then re-cooked - dry, tough, ugh. The sauce is pretty bland and tasteless as well. You give a place the benefit of the doubt once. But, when you explain what happened when ordering the second time and they were just as bad, it seems this was no accident. read more

Whats Good: The wings, there is a reason this place is known for it's wings. They have a bunch of flavors, my favorite is the golden garlic sauce, it tastes amazing. Also, their pizza is pretty good as well. Whats Bad: Expensive drinks. For example when I was there I was drinking vodka shots of Grey Goose, and it tasted like Smirnoff or Absolute and was quite expensive and the pours were not all that great. Bottom Line: Go there for food, then go elsewhere if you want to drink. read more

I just love this place, I would go here everytime my Husband and I go out if he'd let me :) This place is always busy but I know why- it's just a perfect low-key place to go out. Even though the parking lot is always full- we've never waited more than 20 minutes to be seated. Once seated, there is an amazing selection of beer for when we go out with friends and so many different non-beer options so I don't feel like the third wheel ordering something else. The food is always fresh and the service is always good. Not just the refill your drinks good, they seem happy to be working there, like they enjoy their job. I love that! Check comes quickly and servers notice the little things. I was full and didn't finish my Chicken Parm Sandwich. The server saw how much was left on my plate and made a point to make sure nothing was wrong with my meal before offering a box to go. read more

A bar stool at the Lizard is pretty much my default position when it comes to any evening where there are more than 3 sporting events needing to be watched simultaneously. Been hitting the Lizard up for years, and I has a much cozier feel than some of the larger sports bar chains. Great selection of beer, and if you want a great selection of spirits, walk right across the lot to Lizardville and find one of those hard to find bottles for which you crave, whether its George T. Stagg, Booker's 25 and many others, along with some great craft beers. The eats at the Lizard are always a solid bet. I go for beer and sports, but my friends always order something and leave happy and with a doggie bag. For sports with good local folks who don't get too rowdy and love rooting for the home team, the Bedford location is the place to be. read more

Very unaccommodating. Let us reserve a room for 18 at 7:30pm as we are here from out of state for a conference. We all drove there and then were told we could not come in to eat because some of our group was under 21. I have never heard of anything like this. Ridiculous rules and unnecessarily unaccommodating especially since we would have had a room, not sitting at the bar. read more

Nice bar. Very casual & laid back. Me & my husband came here to grab a drink after work & it was exceptional. Kitchen closes before bar

Cider, beer, wings, shuffle board and tv screens. Good place to unwind after a long week.

We were there on a night they had a wing special -- 55 cents each, you need to order in batches of five and you have to pay extra for celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing. My husband is a big fan of chicken wings so he was happy to order those. I ordered a Mediterranean wrap with grilled veggies as a side (I could have had fries instead of the veggies). It seemed like almost all the tables around us were ordering the wings and they waitress actually thanked me for not ordering wings! My husband enjoyed his wings and my wrap was very good. My only complaint is how long it took us to get our food! Such simple orders shouldn't have taken more than half an hour to fill, even on a busy night. I'm sure we will be back to either this location or one of the Winking Lizard's many other locations. There lots of great items on the menu and it's a fun place to eat. read more

Consistent Winking Lizard! Wings are always delicious, service was great, lots of seating and plenty of TV's!!

Love it! Good food, great beer selection, fun environment. I love their outdoor patio in the summer and live music. The staff is pretty friendly too. I have been here about 10 times and never had a bad experience. Huge place and always packed. read more

I'm not normally a fan of sports bars, but this place is different -- and not just because of the iguana. Food is good, beer selection great, enough flat-screens scattered around to cover any sports worth watching, nice patio for spring, summer, fall (not sure if it's heated?). Can be a bit noisy at times, especially in the bar. Popcorn machine over by the door - help y'self. read more

This Winking Lizard is the best by far! If you come here at least two times, the know your name. Great food, awesome drinks! The beer tour is a must do. If you come to the bar see if Stacy or Angel are there, they have been the best and inviting tenders around! read more

Had dinner/reception in their 'party room'. The beer selection was excellent. Gotta love seeing a place that offers Bells Two Hearted Ale. The room was spacious and well laid out with TV's and a pool table. Unfortunately, their satellite wasn't working, so we weren't able to watch the football games. The food was okay but nothing special. The bartender was very friendly and service was pretty good. read more

My favorite bar in all of Cleveland, simply wonderful. Great food and a wide beer selection, simply can't be beat. They have over 100 beers available and also specialize in making amazing wing sauces, its like buffalo wild wings 2.0. read more

Was in Ohio for training, and wasn't real familiar with the area. It was the weekend and didn't want to stay in the hotel, me a coworker decided to go out for drinks and appetizers. When we arrived it wasn't crowded and we were able to find seats at the bar. We were greeted and given menus, everything seemed nice. After we ordered our food and drinks the service went downhill from there. I ordered a glass of water with lemon and never received it, our server walked past us several times and didn't even check to see if we needed anything. But the people who were sitting around us were being checked on; given water when they asked for it and even got there check in a timely manner. At that point I was annoyed and just ready to go, so I asked for our check and we didn't receive it for another 20 minutes which didn't make the situation better. I signed for the check even left a tip, (I dont know why I did maybe I was feeling nice), usually I wouldn't if the service was bad. I travel back and forth to Ohio for work purposes, and have business meetings and events at different restaurant locations. Based on this experience I will not be going back to The Winking Lizard Tavern, and definitely will not recommend it to any of my co workers. read more

Always! I have been to corporate parties and for casual dining! ONE of my favs is the nachos with chicken! Get the Cajun seasoning on it! OMG!!! The loaded fries are the BOMB too!!! read more

Good wings at this Cleveland local chain.

I have been fortunate enough to travel the world a little bit, and because of this, I have been to a wide array of restaurants of different types. Even when I was across the world eating fine European cuisine, I CRAVED a Big Ed Burger and Fries from The Winking Lizard. There is nothing better than this incredibly filling (that's an understatement), meaty, heavenly burger. Their wings are also my preference 10 times out of 10, no matter where I am. Within a week of returning from traveling abroad, I was ate at the Winking Lizard three times, and I could have gone back more and not been upset about it. Sorry I'm not sorry. This place has the best comfort food I have ever eaten, and it feels like home to me. The atmosphere is also great, as you can catch any sports game that you desire while chowing down on some incredible wings or burgers. Oh, and it is incredibly affordable, too! read more

This place is pretty cool good service. A little pricey but not that bad. Great outdoor patio set up for the summer. Worth going to and they have daily specials. read more

Great daily deals, check out the website since some of them are location specific! A solid restaurant, a Cleveland staple, a great place to get wings (I prefer mine extra crispy) and ribs (in the summer). They've got an incredible selection of beers, sometimes it's overwhelming how many beers they have both on draft and by the bottle/can. Of course they won't be winning any awards for outstanding culinary feats, but it's great bar food and great drinks in a casual atmosphere. If you're looking for somewhere to catch a game on TV anf hang with friends this is a good place to do it. The patio is especially good for that. read more

Always crowded so expect to wait. Huge place though so turnover is constant. Beer list is amazing food is great. Wings are good and sauce selection is extensive. I had a brat burger which was to die for. I hope it makes it on the permanent menu. read more

Just a solid bar and a great time with co workers after a long few days of work.

We come here often for beers. The beer list is solid and they usually have something interesting on draft. I hear that they are completely redoing their beer list at the beginning of the year. We always get great service at this location. The food is ok, but the 4 stars are for the beers and service. read more

Excellent food, great prices and an awesome beer list. This restaurant never disappoints!

Drinks are okay but I put 10$ worth of music into the machine and it was shut up. Do not go into this place playing hip hop and R&b or it will be disconnected. Besides that drinks are good. read more

Chemistry - what can I say except the formula works. We've been coming here so long, that it's more of a reunion and an extension of eating in than dining out. This is the corporate equivalent of Cheers, where everybody knows your name. The food is good, the portion sizes are decent, the beer selection is first rate. Special orders won't upset them (hold this, add that..). Sure, we've had a bad meal or two, but going anywhere more than a thousand times that's going to happen occasionally. We look forward to the specials, muffaletta in February, St. Patrick's corned beef on rye pizza in March, clam bake in fall, etc., etc., etc. We've only stopped doing the beer tours and keep-the-glass specials because we had more inventory than we knew what to do with. The patio is fun in all seasons, the bar area is loaded with TV's, the main dining room is family friendly, including kids of all ages. We've had a family party in the back and it was awesome. On peak nights the parking lot can get full and wait times can get long, but now you know why. read more

Reviewed is based only on beer, wings, and the service.

The winking lizard really is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. The atmosphere, the people, the wide variety of bar foods and the extensive beer selection is really why I keep coming back to this place. It's one of those places you can come back to time and time again from watching Sunday football to grabbing some food with friends! The patio outside is perfect for watching baseball games in the summer read more

Ideal spot to take the kids for dinner. Very family oriented - servers are accommodating and the other patrons all seem to understand when someone's kid has a meltdown. It's not going to win any prizes for culinary achievement, but the food is good for what it is and the solid draft list helps me get through dinner with two little kids. read more

Great restaurant. Service is excellent and the menu goes on for days.

This place has terrible service. I asked for a table for one as I stare at 4 open tables. This leaves a lot to be desired. I won't try here again on a business trip!! Waste of my time read more
