Patrick Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I enjoyed the Great Lakes brewery/restaurant. Check out the Man vs Food, diners drive-ins and dives for ideas, they seem to go to Cleveland and the surrounding area a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I live in Mentor, let me know if you're looking for anything real specific. Melt in Cleveland Hts. is the best grilled cheese you'll ever have, with a great draft list as well. Brennan's has great seafood, as does Pickle Bill's right across the street, but it is more expensive and you're mostly paying for the seating on the water and the floating bar. Mama Roberto's on Mentor Ave. has really great Italian food and you get a lot for what you pay for, but the quality is still there. There is a good hot dog place on Route 44 going toward the lake if you're looking for a quick lunch, not sure if they have closed down for the year yet though. Check out Great Lakes Brewery downtown, or Willoughby Brewing Company which is one town over in Willoughby. Also there is Ballantine's in downtown Willoughby which has good food and beer (beer can get pricey though). If you don't mind chain locations, we have a Winking Lizard, Quaker Steak, DiBella's Subs, pretty much everything. What are you in the area for?

Assuming you took Rt. 2 to Heisley, then went south over the big bridge until you hit Mentor Ave. then took a left, it would have been on your right (south side of Mentor Ave). About 5-10 minutes if you took the exit of Rt. 2. Was it on the far right end of a shopping plaza close to a Qdoba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that place has a crazy view' date=' what's the food/prices like for 2 people w/ drinks?[/quote'] Yes. Even if the food sucked the View alone would get you a bo bo on the way home. But, its the best seafood around. Period. http://www.selectrestaurants.com/pier/index.php Poke around for pricing, but figure $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Melt Bar and Grilled. Melt is like Thurmans.....great novelty, terrible service, mediocre food. The one in Cleveland Heights, is about 3 blocks away from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 hour or longer wait every time I have been there says something about their service and food. No it doesn't. There is a 1 hour or more wait at Thurman's too. The food is mediocre there as well. Melt is a great novelty, don't get me wrong......but the food is mediocre at best. I just went there this past weekend. Ordered an Appetizer, 2 Sandwhiches, and some beers with my wife. We never got the Appetizer, never charged either 1 Sandwhich was wrong (these things take 30 minutes to cook, so it is a long ass wait to get it redone) The only thing done right was the beer. I have been there about a dozen times, because every time someone visits me from Columbus, they have to go to Melt. It is like the Thurman's of grilled cheese sandwhiches.

kshymkiw83 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 If you want some good Pizza up here, I would suggest Guys Pizza. They have the most authentic Deep Dish Pizza I have seen in Ohio. It is about 3-4 inches deep, 5 toppings to fill it, and 3 Cheeses on top. A medium is only 15 bucks, and can feed me for 3 days.
