I love taking people (family/friends, not hostages) to Beer Engine because there is something delicious on the menu for everyone's individual tastes. Everyone is always super happy with their meal and the beer options too.
The burgers are some of the best in CLE. Super flavorful and juicy and always perfectly cooked to order. Really love the thin cut rosemary fries as well. I was really surprised to like the fried pickle spear that tags along with the burger. I think you have to order the fries (or another side) separately and at an additional cost).
I'm not too knowledgeable about beer but they have a fantastic selection of bottles and drafts. I always find something great to drink.
I've always had decent service. Usually pretty easy to find a parking spot. Patio for outdoor drinking and/or dining. I will warn that they get really busy during prime dinner hours so you might have to wait for a seat at the bar or a table.
