What reviewers say about Great Lakes Brewing Company

Kevin A. Johnsona week ago

I travel for a living, and eat way too often in airports. This was a highlight at Cleveland Airport! The food was amazing! I had breakfast before my flight and everything was absolutely perfect! Thanks for a good start to my day!

Incredible airport meal. We greatly enjoyed our fish and chips and spicy shrimp Mac and cheese. The coleslaw and fries that came with the fish were also a highlight. Our server Cynthia was lovely and gave us great service. They have wine as well as beer and I got a NA ginger beer.

The menu has a good deal of American items to choose from. However, everything is a little overpriced, which is a bit of a given since it’s in the airport. We just got two salads, one Caesar and one Greek, and they were well prepared. The service was friendly and it didn’t take too long for the food to come out.
