| - Yelp people--why have you removed my reviews? Here's what I posted two weeks ago, minus the gripes about management:
Not sure why the cranky reviews about service, as I have had good to excellent service here 90% of the time. I have not had a bad experience here and usually enjoy myself (and the food). It's bar food, dude; a local chain that makes pretty good (but maybe not great) food. I do have a few gripes: no hot water in the restrooms, towel dispensers are set to deliver 4" long mini's, an extra charge if you need extra salad dressing or dare to want visible sauce on your wings--which are otherwise very good, BTW and $0.40 on Mon and Tues evenings.
However, gripes aside: Like good beer? An excellent selection here, including lots of microbrews and worldwide offerings, and the staff usually know whereof they speak when explaining their offerings. Add there is usually free fresh popcorn (and I disagree with the guy who said it sucked--I have it every week and it's fine).
Some very friendly servers (e.g. Cindy), and they take pretty good care of you, and if you go every week as I do they remember your name. They used to have the best Lake Erie Perch sandwich in town; I hope they bring it back.
I recommend the burgers and other sandwiches, and the salads are fine (though the Original House is overpriced, it's very good). They have some excellent dressings; I recommend the LaFlora Italian. Contrary to other reviews, I've rarely had trouble with my food, and when i occasionally did they made it right. It can be loud when it's busy, and it can be very busy on the weekends and big sports days. Follow the specials and you'll get some really good deals. And I have to give them credit for offering more than standard pub fare--they offer new dishes regularly and have quite a good-sized menu.
All in all, it's pretty good bar food with a great beer selection and friendly capable people on the premises . Free wifi that works and a good jukebox, too. Like sports? TV's everywhere, bub. Like to show the kids a big ol' live lizard that has its own TV? Got it here, though the kids might be a bit freaked to discover that the only Tv tuned to the Cartoon Channel is in the lizard's terrarium (though he's a friendly vegetarian guy despite his appearance, and moves at 1 mph max).
PS--this location is in a strip mall and lots of the parking spots are reserved for the stores, so park carefully. Pretty small patio but with a great view of parked cars--for the smokers and diehard sunseekers I'm guessing.
