kshymkiw83 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Also - if you are out on the Westside - just go into Westside Market. It is like a 100000% better version of the North Market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Aquinas Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 It might be a little of a drive, but totally worth it if you like ribs. There's a rib place out in Warren ohio that serves up the best ribs I've ever had. The sauce is incredible. It's called Blazin Bills.

coltboostin Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 The 1 hour or longer wait every time I have been there says something about their service and food. I dont agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I dont agree with that. Glad I am not the only person who seems to think this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Beer and balogna sandwiches Haha. No I'm good. Did have chipotle for lunch though! Were headed to mama robertos I think. Our hotel is right off heisley and rt 2. Anyone know anything closer to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 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. You must have bad luck, you're the first I have ever heard with a bad experience there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yup, we're at the hampton inn on emerald something or other off diamond center. Bdubs is like right across the road. Ended up going to Harry Buffalo, good times had by all, 1/2 priced drafts and good burgers. May venture out a bit more tomorrow, but the places 30+ min away will probably have to wait to the weekend as we're not patient enough to do that at 6 or 7pm. thanks everyone.

evan9381 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, if you keep going down diamond center, itll cross into painesville (stop sign is the city line)...that big complex of apartments is her old place...

Hahaha And good that you liked hairy buffalo...did you play cornhole on the patio? My cousins from texas had never heard of it when they were here last year ...they loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Miata Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hairy buffalo was the place...it was good food Ah yea, I have never had their food but I drink there from time to time. They are a chain but I think it is only in NE Ohio. May need to stop there since Winking Lizard doesn't have bison burgers anymore and I think HB does. is Meximilian's in mentor still around?? i used to love that place as a kid. great tex mex food and the building was cool! eta....i just google street viewed it and it looks like it might now be a kia dealership...wtf > Yea they completely tore down Meximilian's to expand the Mitsu/Kia dealer. Which really sucks because that was one of the coolest buildings ever, especially for being in Mentor. I knew of the kids in the family that owned it.

Flyin Miata Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 And Matt, I would add Cabana's to your list. 5 minutes from your location (Mentor Ave. and Hopkins, across from the Kia dealer) and they have great food and a decent bar too. Longo's has good italian food, as does Primozz (no shortage of italian places here, but nothing exceptional overall). If you're looking for a good place to hit up some bars, check out downtown Willoughby. Maybe a 10 or 15 minute drive for you, but there are a few decent bars down there and it's a really nice small downtown area. 1899, Ballantine, and Willoughby Brewing Co. are all worth checking out and all within a minute walk from each other. 1899 has 18 beers on tap (lots of interesting stuff) and you won't pay more than $4.50 at most for any beer on tap. Has a really nice bier garden thing that is also connected to Ballantine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You must have bad luck, you're the first I have ever heard with a bad experience there. No, it has been that way every time I go there. Like I said, it is great novelty, just like Thurmans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
