| - (I have not been to the original Lakewood location.)
Arrived at about 10pm on a Wednesday night. The place was packed, but we were seated immediately at the only available table. Our server told us the wait would be an hour for sandwiches, so we ordered beers and the spinach and artichoke dip (on our server's recommendation) while we waited.
The spinach and artichoke dip was tasty, and we actually filled up pretty quickly on that. Our sandwiches arrived at about 10:45pm. I'd ordered the "Purple Parma," which is basically an eggplant parm sandwich. My partner ordered the "Lake Erie Monster," which was basically fish and chips on a sandwich. Both sandwiches were pretty much exactly as we wanted and expected.
The food wasn't amazing, but it was a good experience. We're excited about this option on the East Side, especially that it's open at 10pm after a long, interstate trip. We've had trouble finding food at this hour in this neighborhood. Also, they have a great beer selection, and I really liked the plastic Halloween and Christmas decor.
Edited to add: Have been a few more times. Sat at the bar once, when tables were full, and I highly recommend it. Not worth waiting, especially if you don't have to. Also, not the place to go if you're really really hungry RIGHT NOW. I've taken it down from 4 to 3 stars because... well, I just can't go there all the time. Had to go 3 times in 1 month because of guests and, wow, that was way too much Melt.
