Of all the different restaurants and foods I've displayed and reviewed from the various places I've visited; the place i have most frequently visited with my brother Chris over the years, is the Winking Lizard in Beachwood. From the free popcorn, watching sports on any of the 25+ televisions, the delicious foods and drinks, and welcoming environment of both patrons and staff; you too will come again. Warning, i wouldn't try the 'fire in the hole' wings unless you want to set your mouth on fire 🔥
I love Winking Lizard Beachwood! I work close by and have been addicted to their menu lately. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. Staff are always so nice and welcoming. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
I've always enjoyed coming to this location. They have great service, food, and options as far as drink selections. I recommend the winking lizard and if you're near, this location specifically.
Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Got them as takeout so I can’t say much about the dine in experience. The wings were fried well, not to dry not to wet. They were sauced adequately. I had the 911 flavor of sauce and it was quite spicy. I appreciated the amount of spice as while it was spicy it wasn’t too hot to eat. My nose was running though. The homemade ranch was an added plus. If you like wings, check this place out.
One of the most consistent lunch spots in town. As always ordered a perfectly cooked blue Shroom burger. Our server, Erin was wonderful and even ran outside In the snow to hand off the extra bottle of sauce that I left on the table. Great spot!
Must visit if in the Cleveland area. Several locations, fast and courteous service, great atmosphere, with consistent good food. Seasonal specials boast local trends and flavors. Cannot not find a drink that will satisfy your thirst.
Great food, great service, and a great place to watch sports. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and efficient. Lots of choices for wings sauces! The Bavarian pretzel sticks are phenomenal. Wide selection of whiskey, bourbon, and beer. Check this place out!
Henry is an awesome server. Ask for him! Attentive and truly personable. Loved him- even if he wasn’t a Michigan fan🙃. Best saucy pizza. Yum! here for Springsteen but if EVER in Cleveland again I will be back to Winking Lizzard.. Totally loved this place!
I’ve been coming here over three years now and always have been impressed. Awesome, no matter what I order, the food is incredible.
Was fairly crowded but its a big space and felt somewhat empty sunday for an early-ish dinner. Service was good and everyone enjoyed their meals. I took this burger home and it's still delicious day 2 (reheated)! Edit: we ordered a couple salads, a burger, and a steak.
