Now under new management, the already-excellent Rowley Inn recently launched a new menu that I could not be more excited about. I had the privilege, along with a few other local bloggers, of attending a sneak peek tasting of the new menu, & it just served to solidified my existing love for this place.
Want pierogis? The Rowley Inn has got pierogies, in nearly every form & flavor. For brunch, you can get them tossed in your choice of wing sauce. For dinner, you can get the Cleveland burger, which is topped with a jalapeño pierogi. For dessert, try their caramelized apple pierogi, reminiscent of Little Debbie's miniature apple pies, but homemade & infinitely more satisfying. Oh, & don't forget the Loco Moski, a Cleveland take on a Hawaiian favorite: pierogis topped with hamburger patties, gravy, & fried eggs.
Of course, the menu isn't all pierogis (not that I'd complain if it were). They also serve chicken & waffles, a variety of salads, fried pickles, & plenty of other incredible-sounding options for all three meals of the day. The Rowley Inn used to be a bar with good food; now it's a great restaurant with a bar. And speaking of the bar, you'll definitely want to try their new Red Rider cocktail, made with Bulleit bourbon. Get it? No? Here's a hint: The bar is right across the street from the Christmas Story House museum. Brilliant!
This cozy, unassuming little spot in Tremont is one of my new favorites. See you there!
