The idea was to get as many tastes in one meal as possible, so I had the spicy chili, wings with Flaming Blue and their hottest sauce, and the Cobb Salad. I'm not a huge fan of breading on wings, so these were just ok for me. The really hot sauce lacked punch, but the flaming blue was really good. The salad was loaded with bacon and blue cheese...yum! The chili was awesome and had enough kick, definitely will order again. There were wings and salad left over and they were good as seconds. Service was attentive and efficient.

The food is good here. I had a Caesar salad with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries in it. I know, it sounds a little strange, but it was very tasty. Burgers are good as well. I can't wait for the patio to open. Not a huge fan of how cut up it is inside.

Absolutely love this place! Best place in Mentor to have a good beer and good food! Must try the shroom fries! Exceptional customer service! Will continue to frequent here, as long as they permit me. Big special thanks to Kristen and Kasey! They are the best!!!!

Very disappointed specials listed online were not available for a 6:30 dinner. Generally a good place to eat.

Stopped into the new location of Local Tavern on Friday night. Arrived at 6:00 PM and had an estimated hour wait for a table either inside or outside. The place was packed...good sign since this location has had a hard time keeping anything for too long. There are 4 bars - one main bar and 2 smaller bars inside and one bar outside on the patio. There were a good number of unseated tables on the patio - apparently there was some mix-up with the hostess and reservations were taken for outside when they weren't supposed to be. But, they just opened - still working out the kinks. Once we got sat, it was a long time before our waitress came over - talked to the owner who apologized and had someone else wait on us for the rest of the evening and did everything to make the situation right. Much appreciated. The menu is the exact same as the Willoughby Hills location... good variety of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and several other entrees. After hearing the raves of the burgers, decided to go with the Porky Burger which was a beef burger topped with shaved pork and bacon along with the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The burgers are huge...patties are bigger than the bun. I was disappointed in the seasoning - the burger patty was not seasoned. But, again - just opened and still working out the bugs. I would definitely try the burger again. You get a --lot-- of fresh cut fries or you can get a side salad. There is a small stage for live music with house sound and house-drums. A local blues band broke it in for the first time and sounded great. It wasn't too loud that you couldn't still have a conversation. The patio is large, as mentioned with a bar. Lots of umbrellas and several tables under an awning to keep out of the sun. The waitresses (with the exception of our first one) were all very attentive and moved around quickly. Everyone was friendly and did a great job. 3 stars for now.. I'll give them another try after they are open a little longer. Definitely worth checking out.

Good food, but the waitstaff desperately needs some basic knowledge on their offerings. Went for dinner early-ish on a weeknight. When our waitress arrived to take our drink order, I asked if they had a good stout on tap. She asked me, "what's that?" Umm. How can you waitress at a joint with "tavern" in its name without knowing what a stout is? So I said "it's a dark beer." She recommended a dark ale--"that's a dark beer." Calamari for the appetizer. Hot, tender, meaty, crunchy. Definitely recommended. For an entree, I had the Shepherd's Pie. It was tasty, though unconventional. My dining companion had a burger. Huge, with fresh fries.

What a great place. Upon getting seated at bar I asked the barmaid to bring me her favorite dish off the menu. I was delighted to see a perfectly cooked med sirloin served with mashed potatoes and spinach on top. The steak was very tender and well seasoned just melts in your mouth. If your in the mentor area try it

Loss of stars due to service and layout. Two stars for the ambiance and potential... First the layout: There's multiple rooms at the Mentor location, based on it being the old Sawyer house. The decor, architecture, and music is nice. The problem is when you walk up to the "bar" area the first thing you see are a bunch of cheap drafts (bud, miller, coors, and light versions of each, etc.). I wondered, is this all they have here? Only until I asked for a drink list, did I see that they actually have a pretty impressive draft list. You just don't see it at all and they are really missing out on impressing their clientele! I was sitting in the bar area and ordered a GLBC. My friend ordered a Buchanan's. Our bartender (the only one at the bar) had to leave and go to another room to get my beer AND the liquor. This bar should consider: 1) rearranging their taps so customers either see a mix of their offerings or have all of the taps in one area to make sure they are known as a "craft beer" bar and 2) having all of their liquor in each bar area. Liquor doesn't go bad, so I don't know why they wouldn't have all the options at each bar for their customers to see and to help their bartenders be efficient. (Based on this - maybe they should get some help from John Taffer?) Second, the service. The bartender attended us when we were the only table in the bar area. But she brought my friend a dirty martini that was so dirty it was from the trash. Also, when I ordered a non-well scotch and soda she didn't know the name/brand of the scotch or where it was at - I had to say the name three times and point it out to her. Maybe she should familiarize herself with what the bar serves? After 2 additional tables came in, one of which it seemed she knew people, we waited 20 minutes without service after our drinks went dry before I went and talked to another employee. We got our drinks from them. We saw our waitress one more time when we asked for our checks, which then we never got from her. I'll give the bar this: when I mentioned our poor service, they gave us a free round. But the manager didn't do much to help after or seem to tell her to try to keep tabs on us. Thankfully a very attentive server came to get our checks and we ended up giving her our tips, cash, to make sure the person who worked hard got their due. I'll give this place another try, but I'm only in town 2x a year. Maybe I'll change my rating. But until they figure out how to provide timely service, Local Tavern will remain a 2.

Went here a roughly three weeks ago for a close friends birthday dinner...this was our second time (which we had a horrible first experience so we never thought a second would happen) but this time we were happily surprised. Our server was awesome - high energy and very fun - the food a vast improvement over the first time. Hubbs went for the Shepherds Pie - and I'm full blown Irish and never had one this good...this one was chock full of beef short rib meat and gravy that cannot be beat. I ordered the Black & Blue burger - while ok it would have been better cooked as I requested (med well) instead of well done PLUS but it took so long actually getting our food I simply ate. Major downside for me is the incredibly limited craft beer options - cmon folks remember Great Lakes isn't the only place making beer in Cleveland! Don't know if I would go back - guess we will see.

Great local joint. Good food. Have some bacon... They have lots! Sit at the bar and have some fun.

I haven't posted a review for local tavern lately, because I really haven't had time to go out and have a drink with my buddies. However my wife and I were able to stop in on a Saturday night, and were able to have some drinks with some friends. Our most favorite bartender in the world was not there, however the one we got in her place did a really really good job. We rather my wife wanted a salted caramel martini for whatever reason and the bartender meet three or four different iterations of this an attempt to placate my dear wife. We did not eat because we had already eaten someplace else but we did have a couple rounds of drinks there. The bartender is been very attentive, and we were never running low out and drinks before she was able to come refill s. Once again local tavern is not fail to disappoint.

Great place for lunch or dinner. I can't get away from their Gia grande Humber it's delicious
(4)Ben K.
We've been here before and not been overwhelmed with the food or the service, but today was the last straw. What restaurant doesn't have a high chair? Really? You are a restaurant, not a bar. Perhaps we should ask Mentor to look into whether you're really a restaurant. Last time here.

Well is was our first visit here, stopped in with my fiancee for lunch or an early dinner depending on how you look at it. It's a nice place, clean and the staff is friendly. They were not busy at all, but I'm not complaining because I was not in the mood to wait anyway. Ok so we both order burgers, mine was stuffed. They were both real good except that mine was a bit dry for my taste and for being cooked medium. I had iced tea that they must brew fresh because it was strong and took a lot of sweetener to get it to my taste. I had to ask the server twice for sweetener, first time when we placed the drink order and later when she finally came back to take our order, mean while I could not quench my thirst even though the tea was sitting right in front of me. I guess overall for the price and food quality I would eat there again.
(4)Keith B.
Food is amazing! Service is mediocre, and no air conditioning. Great place in the winter.
(5)Lindsay C.
Local Tavern is a great place to get food or drinks or both. They have a very wide selection of draft beers, including seasonal beers, that are pretty fairly priced. There's also 3 bars to get drinks from, as the place is HUGE. It's kind of confusing, but has a very nice atmosphere. I've tried the wine country chicken sandwich, and it was pretty good. The goat cheese was great on a sandwich, but the red wine reduction was a bit sweet for me. I love Local Tav's side salads. They're full of greens, not just iceberg lettuce, and the balsamic vinaigrette is great. I've also tried their macaroni and cheese, which is HUGE, but could have more flavor to it. The tomato bisque soup is incredible, though, and I'm definitely ordering it next time.

Waited over 5 minutes at hostess stand. Was never greeted, acknowledged, or seated. 2 ladies were sitting at the bar. Bartender saw me at least twice. One employee carried a chalk board sign into the bar and still no acknowledgment. I guess the 2 guest in the entire restaurant, I looked for an employee before leaving, is all the can handle at 11:20 AM on a Monday.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Mentor. The food is always good. Always consider the daily specials because that's where this place really shines. The specials are always beautifully plated and delicious. The regular menu has a few stars also. I recommend the tavern angus beef meatloaf that comes with smashed garlic potatoes. The stuffed burgers are ok but not spectacular. I would give the place five stars if I was just judging on food but this place is going downhill in the atmosphere department. They recently added a tacky giant rooster inside and the waitresses are now wearing tank tops and short shorts... This isn't hooters! The volume of the music is deafening... It makes me feel old to have to say that LOL. The last time we went they were hosting a high school grad party and they turned the main dining area into a club with loud 90's music and dancing. It was dinner time not late evening ... I wanted to enjoy dinner with my husband not have flashbacks to my 20's

Local Tavern is a very solid American style restaurant. I've been a few times and I have never had a bad meal. The chili cheese fries and the Caesar salad are a couple of the menu items that really stood out. The fries come on a huge baking dish and are enough for 6 people to share but they are a must get for me. The service has always been solid and the restaurant itself is very clean. It is definitely worth a try if you are in the Mentor area.

While visiting family, I had a late lunch on New Year's Eve at the Local Tavern. Our server Taylor (blonde, really nice) was AWESOME! She took her time with us, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed. When she found out we were from Huntington Beach, she sent the owner (?) a text and he treated us to a round of drinks! What a great guy! We appreciated the hospitality. The food was great! I had the smaller BLT. We also started with a tray of fries (that balsamic dipping sauce is sooo good)! Super-fun atmosphere, amazing service, and delicious food! Thank you for having us!!!
(5)Cherri H.
Yes yes yes. Good service and great food. The burgers are awesome. Fries fantastic!!!
(5)Amanda K.
This place is very unassuming. It's an old house that was converted into a restaurant. It is enormous! They feature a huge deck, but I didn't get to enjoy it as it was cold. I had the shepherd's pie, which featured short rib, mushrooms, spinach, mashed potatoes, etc, and a balsamic drizzle. I can't get over this damn shepherds pie. I want it all the time! My dad had the kielbasa and sauerkraut which he really enjoyed. The beer selection was good, and they have a lot of TVs so it's a good spot to go a catch a game.

Love the atmosphere. Love the food, especially the meatloaf. Love the live bands. Love the fast service. This place is great.

This was my first visit to Local Tavern. I stopped in with my fiancee for a Saturday lunch. It wasn't very busy, we were seated right away. Our server stopped right away to get our drink order. Since they don't have flavored iced tea, we ordered regular. It was unsweetened so we asked for sugar. Well, she left to get it and we waited and waited for her to come back. She finally did and asked if we were ready to order. We did and then reminded her that we still needed sugar. Our food came out in about 20 minutes time which we thought was pretty good. The portion so are huge so bring your appetite. I got the gut buster which is a burger with chili on it. My fiancee got the beast which had short rib, horseradish, mushrooms aiole and swiss cheese. Both burgers were cooked to perfection (pink and warm on the inside) however, they tasted a bit dry. The pile of fries were very good We will be back here

Wasn't that impressed with the food. It was okay. The atmosphere was alright. I'd prefer to just go a little further down Rt 20 to Winking Lizard or Hairy Buffalo. My wife got the grilled cheese sandwich and said it was awful, came with pub cheese spread on it and was 99.9% huge bread slices. So, go to Melt if you're looking for grilled cheese I suppose is the moral to that story. The best thing about it is the old house it occupies. So, there is potential.
(2)Anthony L.
It is a cool place to drink. Only thing i don't like is how chopped up it is and how many different rooms their are. You also can't carry your tab from one bar to another. Very annoying especially when it's packed and you move around to another room.
(3)Kevin V.
7PM, St. Patty's Day 2015 and no Corned Beef? SERIOUSLY!? Tells you all you need to know.
(3)Kristin M.
Huge portions! My friend and I ordered the fries as an appetizer only to find out that Godzilla himself couldn't finish them. Got the mac n' cheese with BBQ chicken. Pretty good. Lots of beer choices and the place is huge. Good atmosphere.

I heard this place was great and since I have a birthday coming up I decided to check it out to see if I wanted to have dinner there with my friends on my birthday. I went in about 6:15pm on a Tuesday night. It was a little busy but not all the tables were full and the bar I sat at had half of the seats open. I just wanted a beer and to peruse the menu. No one spoke to me for about 4 minutes even with a bartender standing not 6 feet from me conversing with an older couple. A few minutes later a different girl comes flying by and asks if I want a menu (not if I wanted a drink which is obvious since I'm AT the bar and I have no drink in front of me) I said yes and before I could tell her what I wanted to drink she was off! I waited, and waited...finally the guy next to me said, "hey thats a pretty good drink you got there, bet it tastes good!" I laughed and said," yeah best I ever had". The girl never got me a menu, she proceeded to take 2 other people's orders, the couple to my left and another couple at a table near the bar. I finally got tired of waiting and just left. If thats the kind of service they give on a slow night I can't imagine what it's like on a busy night! Don't think I'll be returning for a while, if ever.
(1)Jeremy M.
Great beer selection, the fries were very good also. I had the mac n cheese burger but like one of the reviewers mentioned it lacked seasoning and was extremely bland. The service was solid considering how busy they were. Based on the great beer selection and the fries, I would go back and give dinner another shot.
