Hagan was amazing! And very attentive. The food was amazing. I got the smashburger with the housemaid chips. Everything was scrumptious. I sat outside was a beautiful and it was very pleasant. There was for nice relaxing music playing. Overall I highly recommend.

EDIT: My apologies for saying this restaurant charges extra for using a credit card. Apparently, they do not. I asked the server if a fee was charged, and he replied that there is one. I asked if we would see it on the bill and he said no. He must have misunderstood my question. It's a question I ask routinely now that many restaurants are charging fees for using credit cards so I can decide whether to pay with cash or credit. I hope your restaurant will not adopt this practice in the future. Again, my apologies. ************" This restaurant serves average food with average service in a large, uncomfortable industrial-like setting. I would not recommend for couples or a small group. Would be nice for a large, casual group because there's a lot of room to move around. The seating is either a cold metal chair or a hard wooden bench. They do have a patio which is nice in the summer simply because it's outside. I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't speak for the beer. Wine by the glass choices are better than the average brewery. Prices are good.

The food here is amazing!! Far exceeded my expectations, even after reading all the great reviews. Delicious flavor combinations- the salmon was perfectly cooked, and the portobello mushroom burger was to die for. Great beer selection and incredible service. This place is a must for anyone visiting Cleveland- we are very jealous of the locals who can enjoy it anytime!

I’ve been going to Boss Dog since they first opened, and as much as it pains me to say, the quality has dramatically declined. The beer is still decent, if generally hoppy across all styles, and the service was pleasant. Alas, the same can’t be said of the food. Items I would eat again based on my last trip: the pretzel… and maybe the waffle from the chicken and waffles. Items I would avoid: the loaded potato chips (bland), pierogies (bland, and also still cold) fish and chips (questionable cuts of fish), poutine (bland), chicken from the chicken and waffles (very bland), and the coleslaw (a crime against humanity). Hopefully the management is able to turn things around, though I probably won’t be back to find out.

It's a good place. I feel it's a little overpriced for what you are getting. The onion rings were pretty good, they are beer battered. The fries were basic. I really liked the crispiness of the chicken sandwich I got.
