Graffiti is an unassuming building that's really easy to miss unless you're looking for it. We went tonight with our dog in tow. Any place that allows me to bring my puppy daughter is automatically good by me!The back patio is so relaxing and pretty, definitely a good hangout spot. It wasn't too hot, and the patio was just right for a June night.
The food was probably one of the best I have had yet in cleveland. We ordered the Ruben ribs to start. They were the only forgettable part of the meal. The meat fell off the bone but there wasn't much flavoring to them. Hubs ordered the Battery Park hot dog which he described as incredible. I didn't try it, but he said he really enjoyed it. I ordered the Graffiti burger. Holyyyyyyy wow. The best burger I've had in my life. Whoever decided to put goat cheese and a fried green tomato on a burger deserves all the high fives. Burgers are never my go to meal choice and I never finish a whole one. But this was incredible. I will be back and I will order that dang burger again. The fries were pretty good too. Perfectly seasoned and fresh as hell, yes please.
The reason I simply cannot give Graffiti 5 stars was because of the service. Our waitress was very nice and did a great job but this place was S L O W. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe it's just how they operate. But even our drinks took at least 15 minutes. And we sat there without water forever. Definitely not a place to go and have a quick meal that's for sure. There were also plenty of open spots on the patio so they weren't even super busy. Also, they were out of the beer my husband wanted to order and like 3 others. I ordered their sangria of the day which was the perfect summer drink, but they ran out after my serving. When I asked for Chardonnay, they were also out of Chardonnay. On Saturday night. Anyways, the food was worth it and the patio is so cute. I do recommend!!
