The food: always on point, I dont care what it is, its good. Bartenders and servers are always there when you need them. Good service is difficult to find these days. Right across the street is the ever famous, A Christmas Story House. Cant ask for more..
The food was excellent and the service was as well. This is an old restaurant with a rich history. It opened in 1906. It isn't fancy but it very friendly I went around noon on New Year's Eve and it was filled with people who seemed like "the locals," and those from out of town. There's a bar there and just lots of old-fashioned brown tables and chairs. People sit very close together, as it looks like they have done all they can to accommodate people who visit. There is. Digital jukebox where it looks like an old fashioned one might have been- and there are several televisions so folks at the bar can see sports programs. You have to park on the street but there seemed to be lots of street space available. Loved this place. I had shrimp and grits that were to die for! And I forgot that it's right across the street from the Christmas Story House.
Rowley Inn was a pleasant surprise close to where we were staying. The atmosphere was cozy but still lively, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was delicious. The kielbasa was definitely a standout for me, and my daughter really enjoyed the mac and cheese. The service was friendly and made the visit even more enjoyable. We will come back if we are in the area again.
Looking for a corner bar with great food and drinks? You found it, Rowley Inn. While visiting Cleveland we took a tour of the Christmas Story house and this quaint bar sits at the corner. We sat at the bar and bartenders were amazing. It's not a huge place but it's outdone by the food and ambiance. Delicious. I had the Loco Moski and it was amazing. The pierogi with the medium beef patty and eggs blend perfectly for only $19. Would recommend.
I came to Rowleys Inn after seeing the amazing Christmas Story house , me an my husband got hungry an chose Rowleys . I ordered shrimp am grits from Michael the server OHMY ! He was great an made me feel so comfortable! On top of that I met the guy who cooked the shrimp an grits (Darnell ) he end up coming out asking different customers how there food was , which was so above an beyond for what he does there but I'll never forget his smile an politeness or those tasty delicious SHRIMP an GRIITS !
Top brunch in cleveland. I love when I get to come back because breakfast options here are large and more than just classic basic breakfast options. They can get crowded during the weekends but service is so fast and the food comes out quick, it's always a joy to eat here! FYI you can make it a cute day date and walk the towpath around Tremont or even to Ohio city after brunch.
Found this gem while in town for my daughter's treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. Local joint with plenty of options! My wife and I were in the mood for a burger. My wife is a little bit of a burger snob.....lol but she said it was "good". I give the chili burger a 6.5 outta 10. Flavorful, cooked to perfection but didn't seem like grass fed beef like my wife likes. Overall very nice restaurant and if town check it out! Very good service and friendly staff.
Fun place to stop by for whenever you're visiting the Christmas story house or just want some good food. I enjoyed the pierogi meal. With five nice size pierogies and some homemade sauerkraut, it was the perfect size meal for me. You can't beat homemade pierogies in Cleveland. They also have a good beer, selection of draft and can. My friend liked the spicy chicken sandwich. Good service good food.
I have been wanting to try this place forever, and I'm glad I got the chance to finally do so recently. We were able to find bar seating and were greeted right away once we sat down. They have a good selection of beers to choose from, and a full bar as well. For starters, we ordered the fried pickles and Reuben rolls- both were amazing. We ended up boxing up half of the appetizers because the portions were pretty big, and we wanted to save room for entrees. For the main event, we ordered the stuffed poblano pepper and the fried green tomato blt-they were both extremely good. The pepper was stuffed with smoked beef burnt ends, a mixture of cheeses, and green chilies and it was served over cheesy grits, finished off with a rojo sauce and fresh cilantro. It was flavorful, hearty, and savory. The blt had fried green tomatoes, perfectly crisp bacon, arugula, pineapple salsa, and pepper jack cheese on a grilled sourdough bread. It was a classic blt but elevated, the flavors worked perfectly together. Of course, the portions for the entrees were very large so we boxed up most of those too. We ordered a slice of key lime cheesecake to go, which was devoured around 1am as a delicious late-night snack. The food was so good that I actually woke up craving it, so I had a fried pickle and a Reuben roll for breakfast. The leftover blt was lunch/dinner, and even then, it was still amazing. I was very impressed with my first experience here, can't wait to try their brunch next.
