| - Came in at around 8 on a Sunday, and the place was pretty deserted - save for a few people having some drinks. I had bookmarked this place before coming to Cleveland and I was Yelping some food spots. They seemed to have pretty good happy hour specials but we were too late. So instead, we ordered the Animal tots that everyone seemed to be raving about. This had goat cheese-leek fondue, pancetta, cheddar, pickles, and was topped with fried egg. The first few tots were pretty good, but when I got to my fourth or fifth tot, it was pretty nauseating. Everything was just too heavy and it had a weird old bad cheese taste to it.
Luckily, Hodge's redeemed themselves with the Romaine wedge salad. This had fried onion, pancetta, hard boiled egg, Babylon heirloom tomato, white French, with added herb-brined chicken. I guess my eyes glazed over the wedge part because I was pretty surprised when it showed up. I like my salads chopped but this one was still pretty good, despite that.
Overall, it seems like a cool place to grab a few beers and catch up with friends.
