| - Tasty affordable food, great decor, friendly service, nice atmosphere!
Brew Garden recently opened up in Strongsville. I had never been to a Brew Garden so I was eager to try it out. We went for lunch on their 2nd day of opening. The decor is very nice: large entryway, high ceiling with gorgeous wood accents everywhere. It was like being in a large, clean barn.
Our greeter was friendly and we were seated right away, no wait. Our server, Tina, was very friendly. Drink orders were taken promptly.
For an appetizer, we ordered the spinach + artichoke dip. It was excellent! Had a great creamy, cheesy, smoky flavor and the tortilla chips were nice + thick.
The menu didn't offer a whole lot to our tastes. Lots of burgers, pizzas and sandwiches. We ordered the Faroe Island Salmon and the Shrimp Street Tacos.
There was some confusion with the salmon order. Our server asked what side we wanted, so we said broccoli. Then she came back apologizing because she realized it only came with noodles and a side wasn't included. We said to add the broccoli as an extra side then. When the salmon came, surprise, no noodles?! We asked the server + she said this is how it was prepared, but she'd check (keep in mind they had just opened for business the day before) Not sure what happened with the noodles but they agreed to not charge us the extra for the broccoli.
The shrimp tacos were tasty, but the portion was a little small. It came with salsa and tortilla chips but as I had already had these same tortillas with my appetizer, I didn't really feel like eating anymore of them. The salsa could've been better.
For drinks, I ordered the Bloody Effen Mary which came without the lime, celery and "zesty rim" it had advertised. I pointed this out to our server. She offered to bring me lime and celery but I said it was OK, not to bother. It's more part of the presentation of the drink, so the moment had already passed. No big deal but I had been looking forward to the "zesty rim" whatever that was!
The prices were reasonable. Most entrees were $12 to $17, I think. Our appetizer was $10 and the cocktails were about $7 each.
Dress is casual. Most diners were in jeans, sweatshirts and sneakers. The atmosphere is nice: many large screen TVs (lots of college hoops on the day we visited) and everything is made of wood.
Miscellaneous:
There is lots of parking available.
I was told they do not take reservations.
Free wifi!
Conclusion: yummy food, nice drinks. Good service and affordable prices. They are very new at this point and a few things were forgotten/omitted from our orders. But hopefully they'll get into a regular routine soon.
