| - If you're in the Cleveland area, stop into Hodge's, you won't be disappointed! My friend and I came in on a Sunday evening for dinner. We were a little thrown off upon arriving as it is located inside of what seems to be a hotel. Not that we cared, just weren't expecting it. The bar area up front was decently big along with the dining area. There are wood beams in the ceiling which gave for a nice rustic feel and every table has large red chairs..so comfy. I guess I would describe the menu as comfort food? There's a little bit of everything here. Pasta, burgers, steak, chicken, and a ton of eclectic appetizers.
Our waitress was very friendly and brought over their famous skillet corn bread, hot out of the oven. It comes with maple butter and it is to die for. I can't believe they give it out complimentary My friend and I both ordered the burger. It came with bacon, bib lettuce, dill Havarti cheese (I thought this was an excellent choice), and bacon-onion jam all on top of a warm buttery brioche bun. The burger came with a side of tater tots and aioli for dipping, yum. Although the flavors on the burger sound weird, they all went together perfectly. It was cooked perfectly and was so juicy and flavorful. Love, love, loved all of the different flavors!
Some of the items on the menu were a bit pricey (just like any other restaurant), but our bill was cheap because of what we ordered. I would definitely stop back in here next time I'm in town, even if it's just for the cornbread :) PS. happy hour specials only apply at the bar, for food and drink.
