| - Deagan's is a great place, just what lakewood needed. With the epic Melt wait lines of 2-3 hours, it's good to know that there's a great local place within a short walk that has (even better?) good food and plenty of good drink as well.
The atmosphere is great, odd that the waiting room is in the back, but since that's where the best parking is anyways, a sensible choice. It looks in much better shape than the last restaurant in the location I went to (barnacle bill's). Although I do wonder whatever happened to that big diving suit?
The food is fantastic, fancy rustic is what I'd call it, although I guess it lives up to the "gastropub" title. We split a cheese tray, which on it's own would probably be enough. It was a fantastic array that had much more than I expected. The waitress also brought extra crackers when we ran out. The mustard cheese was fantastic.
My wife had chicken and waffles (and so did I, for breakfast the next day from the leftovers), and I had the bangers and mash. Both were monster portion sizes of some of the best ever food I've had.
The beer selection was fanastic, not overwhelming like buckeye beer engine, or underwhelming like some other places. it was just right. They also had a great holiday and tap lineup.
At around $75 after tip, it's not the cheapest for two, but we were very much overindulging, so for drinks and snacks this wouldn't be a bad place at all.
Great place overall on all accounts!
