This place is nice but the food is so-so. We came here on a Sunday for brunch and sat on the patio. It wasn't very crowded but for some reason our food took forever to come out. Our waitress didn't check on us much either. The tater tots were really good and were basically like mashed potato balls. That was a plus. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and was disappointed that it was just served on regular toast. A bun would have been better. The cost is average. Decent spot, probably won't come back though.
(3)Jon L.
Service was real slow. A+ for the fish and chips- burger was ordered medium came out well done. Chopped salad was weak. Server was friendly- overall timing was off, drinks and food slow to arrive. Just an ok experience. Will probably give it another try, but not anytime soon.
(3)Joe C.
Service was good it's the food that seemed off here. Their soda was all flat no matter how many times the waiter brought a new glass. The food then was okay but for the price seemed to be lacking very much so. Additionally sandwiches come with fries which is nice but when the fries are coated in a thick layer of salt, it makes then unable to be eaten without ketchup. Don't think I'd be returning here anytime soon except to enjoy their patio and perhaps a few cocktails.
(3)Jackie S.
Surprised by the mediocre reviews. I have been here a few times and everything I've tried was delicious. Great appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and burgers, and great Bloody Mary bar and brunch on the weekends!
(5)Andrew K.
Pretty decent spot. I don't drink but they had a huge selection of wine and beer. We went for lunch and a lot of the items were half off for happy hour which was cool. The waitress was super nice and helpful and gave us a vip card at the end to get points for free food. The burgers were pretty damn good, super tender and fresh. The fries were ok, super salty. Service was fast. Recommended.

I am such a fan of their Happy Hour that I went two days in a row! During summertime I get off work at 3pm and surprisingly enough it is hard to find restaurants that are open that early let alone a happy hour that starts at 3! The deal is 1/2 off all appetizers and flat breads, $5 cocktails, $4 house wines and $3 bottles. If you think you need a salad with your flat bread you are wrong. The flat bread is big enough to eat and take home some leftovers all for a happy hour price of $6! The first night I went I opted for the Blackened Shrimp Tacos- Great decision! They packed so much punch in flavor! They are on the smaller side but you get 3 and I was full. The second night I ordered the Tuna Nachos! Get the Tuna Nachos!! I was so impressed since I was not at a seafood or sushi restaurant. I've wanted those nachos everyday since! Make sure you check it out!

Some of my friends told me about this place. They always rave about it, so I decided to take my parents here for our weekly lunch date. NOT IMPRESSED! Things I liked: 1. The atmosphere. 2. The patio. Things I disliked: 1. Service sucked. When the lady brought our food out, she was staring at the food and then our faces like she was trying to figure out who got what. I told her which one was mine then started to tell her which one was my dad and moms, she snapped at me and said "I know". Not cool. Once we got our food, we only saw the waiter once. I actually had to get up and go to the bar to get a refill of my water. The waiter saw that and tried to explain he had a lot of tables in the back. I took a peak at the back, not a lot. Honestly I don't care, you should be able to handle "a lot" of tables. If you can't least have a personality and not act like a robot. 2. The French fries were so salty. You had to drink water after every fry to wash the salt down. 3. The center pieces of the table were tacky. I posted a pic of them. Food wasn't bad. It was alright. I just got a basic cheeseburger, and my folks got the egg burger. We came during the lunch menu. Maybe I'll try and come again for dinner and see if I get better service and food I wanna rave about.
(2)John B.
Service was mediocre, fruit flies enjoyed my drink as much as me. Good thing the waitress found it amusing. Food was good. Could have been larger portions considering the price. We had tavern chips, very good.. but small quantity, steak salad was good, had shrimp tacos. .... would have loved them as a main course on the menu with a few more.
(3)Katie M.
I've only been here once, but am going to throw up a review anyway. We went to Burntwood recently and had some excellent cocktails and ordered apps to share. The 3 items we had were excellent. I LOVED the tuna nachos and blackened shrimp tacos. We also had the zucchini frites, which were great but the quantity served could have been larger. there wasn't anything else on the menu that I was interested to try, and it looked kind of $$$ for the entrees. I'd go back for apps and drinks, and maybe to try a burger or something. The server was friendly, but seemed distracted by her other tables. This is a very Rocky River-esque place. It kind of weirds me out when there's only older, white, upper middle class type folks in a place. But that's just me. If you ride your bicycle there on a Tuesday, I think they offer a discount.
(4)Cami T.
I'm surprised by the mediocre reviews. I was actually pleasantly surprised when I went to Burntwood . They have a wide selection of beers, although our waitress wasn't as well versed in them as I would have liked to have seen. For our meal, we ordered the hummus tray which had a nice selection of pitas (including a cheese crusted which went over very well) and vegetables. I was happy with the taste and sometimes I can be a bit over picky with my hummus options. I had the Salmon option. The salmon was done perfectly and complimented nicely with the sauce and sides. Overall a pretty healthy option. Others at the table were happy with their meals. The burger was rated "A+" by my fiance and though he was originally a little disappointed with the size, it turned out to be "just right" so he left full but not too full. Good atmosphere. Good side room for parties. Overall I really liked it and I think it's the perfect date spot (make note - Clevelanders!) because it's got a lot of universal appeal.
(5)Mikaela N.
Great food.. Wish you got more for your money but none the less good. Our server was awesome super friendly and seemed well educated on the draft list! Order the house IPA smelled as it tasted .. Great!
(4)George S.
So, I heard that the Burntwood in Rocky River was a chain place, and that struck me as odd, because the place has some unique style. My wife and I stopped by on the recommendation of a co-worker, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance of the place is woody, dark and comfy, a place that you can take someone to for a first date or you spouse out to have a drink and a snack and both will feel relaxed and enjoyable. They have a very generous and creative drink menu, and the food we had was good. We came just at their "happy hour" which was from about 4 to 6, during which certain beers and small plates were half-off, so we indulged. They make some killer wings and sauces, some interesting shrimp tacos and other tasty treats. (BTW, I heartily recommend the happy hour, just to get a good and well-priced overview of what they have:) Now, they are a bit pricey in the normal time frame, but if you want to impress, it's a place to take people to talk, nosh and relax. We also had great service and the manager even stopped by to make some recommendations. I was very pleased by the experience, and I didn't feel like I got burnt in the Burntwood:)
(4)Liz C.
Located in the center of the hub of some of Rocky River's best restaurants I had to try it out after hearing pretty good things. The ambiance is warming and inviting with its rustic interior. My wait was short but my server seemed to be running behind on my table along with a few surrounding patrons, although he was extremely kind. I started off with the calamari which unfortunately came out lukewarm to say the least. Although the calamari was lackluster, I then indulged in a flatbread margarita pizza which was fairly good. The guest I was with was thrilled with their Tavern Dip and I think we both agreed that the drink menu was exceptional including their Bloody Mary bar that is offered only on Saturday and Sunday's (Blood Mary bars seem to be an ongoing trend lately).
(3)Aubree B.
I was salty at first for Burntwood taking the spot of The Pub, since I used to play trivia there on a weekly basis. Living within a mile of the restaurant and hearing people sing its praise made it hard to resist. Quesadillas happen to be one of my favorite things- melty, cheesy, spiciness, rolled up in a crisp tortilla? Hells yea. I'll never forget my first time at dining here, when the waiter brought me the Burntwood quesadilla for the first time.... 4 egg roll shaped towers standing straight up on my plate like a city skyline. One bite of their playful quesadilla roll-ups made my tummy smile. Since then, I've gone back for many a meal, including my company Christmas dinner and (possibly hung over) Sunday brunches. I would pass on their flatbreads. They are simple underwhelming. Their sandwiches, sweet potato fries, and brunch options are the bees knees. I don't typically like tomato juice or Bloody Mary's, but my boyfriend and I love creating our own spicy elixirs at their Bloody Mary bar! They have a few house-infused vodkas to choose from. They also have a variety of mimosas (grapefruit being my fave).
(4)Matthew F.
Sat on the patio for a two hour dinner on a Wednesday night. Half way through the night we were told that there was a computer error and our order was lost. Not from our server but a bartender. We remained positive until our served asked if we wanted dessert and coffee........prior to our food being delivered. There was a never an apology or acknowledgement of the terrible service. We will never return. There are way too many better options in the area, let alone across the street. The manager did rounds on the patio but somehow missed us. I guess that is a normal night at Burntwood. Please avoid this location.
(1)Cara L.
Meh... other Yelpers said it best. It's not the worst, but it's not really all that great. I ordered hummus and a Greek salad with chicken. While I know those things generally aren't exciting, I've had them done so well at other places. And for the price, I figured they would be fantastic! Nope. The hummus was so bland, it was hard to taste it anything stand-out about it. Then it was served with bread-y, bland, wheat "pita". The presentation was just about the only thing nice about the entire dish. The salad was the simplest Greek salad I've ever had. I've seen them done really well (thank you, Souper Market) but this was not a shining moment. The last thing I'll say is that we ordered champagne to drink, first they didn't have what we wanted on the menu. Then it took a good 15 minutes for her to bring out a different champagne. Not a glass, mind you, literally two mini bottles and two glasses. That does not take 15 minutes in real life. I'm sure there are some delicious menu items, but this trip and my other experience at a different location did not show me those items. Womp Womp.
(3)Jessica K.
Fantastic. Our server, Taylor, was awesome. She was attentive, very polite, and always around if we needed her. She definitely is one of the best servers I've encountered anywhere! The food was good. I had the tavern burger. It was cooked to perfection, tasted amazing, and was gone in probably 10 minutes. It was that good. Their fries are also amazing. I should have ordered a side to go! Yum! The specialty drinks weren't my style. They were good, just I wasn't overly impressed. Would that stop me from returning? Heck no. In short, I'll be back. And I'll be hungry!
(5)Shannon C.
I'm between 3 and 4 stars on this one. Considering the price point is moderate, I'll go with the 3 stars. So, first impression was really good. The place was packed on a Wednesday night at 7:30. We had a party of nine, so while we waited for our table, we hung at the bar and everyone was ordering it up. I spent zero dollars for this dinner so I can't even comment on drink prices as I only had one glass of wine anyway. After about a 20 minute wait, we were seated in the back, behind the fireplace. It was pretty intimate back here, we were a little too close to the kitchen, but still not complaining. For apps we ordered the lobster ravioli (really tasty and plentiful, yet too salty at the same time). The pumpkin pierogie was a special, and it was good, but the order seemed a little stingy. The chicken wings were ordered extra crispy, but weren't served that way. Also note, the were very smokey. I don't like smoky, and even if I did, they took it too far. The sauces that came on the side didn't compliment that well, this was my least favorite app. We also did the calamari, these were ok, I'd order again, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Finally, (I know, we're greedy) the fondue, I really did enjoy this with the pita versus the chips. For my entree I did the filet mignon, asked for it medium, but it was served medium rare. I don't like medium rare. It was so charred on the outside, it tasted a little burnt. It had some butter on top, the insides of the meat had no flavor. My entree wasn't hot (I like my food smoking, it was as if they let it sit). So I do not recommend the filet, I have had way better at this price point else where, like the chop for example. The sweet potato fries we're good, as expected, especially with some old fashioned ketchup. The asparagus was bland, needed some salt, garlic, butter, one or all would have been great. Go with the roasted veggies instead. The brussel sprouts we're yummy. So my filet with a potato and veggie was $26, I believe. Another reminder to leave the steak to the steak houses (in most cases). I should have went with my gut and ordered a sandwich or burger. I think if I would been here before and been in the know, I could have been a happy camper for around $25??? Instead, I was treated to a $40 mediocre dinner, and I didn't like my entree. If it wasn't for the apps, they would really have been dinged. Our service was cool, and we were with a tough croud!
(3)Danielle Dawn P.
Love the happy hour here!!! It was my first experience in Cleveland, will always return here!
(5)Colleen O.
$5 for a house salad that was 1/4 cup of lettuce and dressing!!! That's it. The berry salad was basically a piece of salmon on a few greens for $13 at lunchtime. Not a value. Skimpy!
(1)Russ S.
The food and service are good. I had the Angus Burger and it was really good. The Kettle Chips appetizer with the Gorgonzola sauce was tasty! Love the look and feel of the bar. Burntwood Tavern has a rustic and welcoming ambiance to hang out. My first impression was that it has a laid back and easy going feel to it. Great place to be sitting with the doors and windows open on a warm summer night in Rocky River.
(4)Donna W.
Went there for lunch and also asked to see a dinner menu while I was there. Very limited choice the server was nice.
(3)Lee B.
I've been to Burntwood and thought it was fine. But Rocky River? Seriously. Ew. There were gnats flying around our table and my beer glass had lip prints on it. My friend's wine glass was spotless but the bowl her salad came in had grease smudges on rim. Waitress was really responsive but our appetite was ruined. I'm going to chalk it up to a fluke and not give 1 star because I've been to another Burntwood and had a pleasant enough experience. Really cozy decor and the waitress was fantastic but PLEASE clean the place.
(2)Kimberley P.
The service is fantastic. The food is fantastic. The environment is fantastic. The drinks are fantastic. I wasn't sure what to expect and am pleasantly surprised by the all encompassing quality of this restaurant. The cost is worth it. I will go back.
(5)Aubrey H.
So disappointed. How do you screw up a BBQ chicken salad? Old avocado, barely any dressing and no beans! Waitress was flighty and rude, and my wine had a fruit fly in it. 99.9% sure they just dumped the little guy out, topped my wine off with the house. My guest had a tuna sashimi salad. Nothing to write home about, and clearly they have a shortage on dressing. My first experience was so great that this was really disappointing.
(2)Elizabeth D.
Not a fan. Tastes like gross fast food in a nice setting. If you like chain restaurant and rich, unhealthy food you might really like this place. As a caveat, I am picky with what I eat and try to eat clean... My experience: Had the harvest salad (subbed the veg burger for chix) and after my first bite, I immediately did not want to eat anymore, but felt awkward because I was with a group. Though some may like the house dressing, it was way to oily for me. I cannot imagine what they put in it, as it tastes like it exceeds the calories and fat in any other dressing I have ever had. Their dressing ruined a perfectly good salad. The veggie burger was ok; nothing to rave or complain about. Ended up eating as little as possible and pitching the to-go as soon as I got home. The apps that were ordered were also super greasy and gross (tots and zucchini frites served with lots of mayo sauces). Pamela the server was ok. The food was just not what I want to put into my body.

I visited this location last night for a birthday party, I must say that compared to the Chagrin Falls location, I would gladly return. Not only was the service better but so was the food & atmosphere as well. They lay out is better, it's not as busy and our server was incredibly adorable. My mom took the receipt so I didn't get a chance to catch his name but whomever he is (tall, skinny, red head) he really bent over backwards for a guest of ours that is on a VERY strict diet. Due to the strict diet, the sous chef came out to our table and took the time to personally make sure he understood her needs & executed them perfectly. I tried there lemonade which was...odd. It wasn't flavorless but it didn't taste like lemons either. I also chose their Chicken Tasso Pasta (minus the mushrooms)- it wasn't over the top, in fact the sauce was kind of lacking in flavor. The meal itself was more like a soup than a pasta dish but the chicken was cooked just right. The ham on the other hand was tough and chewy so that kinda grossed me out. But overall everyone enjoyed their meals.

Visited this FINE place on the evening of New Years Day with my husband and a couple friends....I can only write this review in regards to the ambiance, staff and drink quality....We only stopped in for evening cocktails and not nourishment. From the second our friends took us into Burntwood and I walked into the building I was extremely impressed with the decor, lighting and overall feeling and ambiance. We were instantly greeted and offered a table or bar sitting...We chose to sit at the bar initially while we were ordering and getting our first round of drinks..I ordered the Jack and Jill which was a vodka based drink infused with blueberries and other fruit....It was tasty and definitely had me ready to order another one from the first sip...Our group moved over to a sofa and chair set that was placed alongside the bar in front of this great woven wooden wall! We stayed for a bit over an hour while enjoying another round of drinks and great conversation. If you are looking for a chill and relaxing no attitude place to go and enjoy conversation and either a beer from their plentiful beer selection or a hand crafted cocktail this is the place to go!
(4)Rick W.
It was just ok. Service was great but the food was not memorable. Nothing really stood out or would cause me to go back. If in the area we might go back for a second chance.
(3)Jessica O.
We went here with 4 adults and my 7 month old daughter. I was scoping out the place for a possible party. It used to be The Pub; which had the BEST fish and chips this side of England. The manager was too busy so the waitress took my info and said she would call me. She never did. Anyway, the food was good. I liked it. But it was pricey. And it wasn't great enough for it to be that pricey. The fish and chips were good. They weren't $17 good, though. And the only real complaint is the amount of tables near the restroom area. They have so many tables crammed back there, all night people kept squeezing by to get to the restrooms. We probably won't be going back anytime soon. There are so many great restaurants in Lakewood. We don't need a sub-par one in RIver. But the place is gorgeous. Go and have a drink at the bar for sure :)

Having a quick dinner after arriving from Pittsburg tonight, have to say Wow! The kitchen has really stepped up to the plate! My husband and I had dinner here after they had opened on several occasions giving it the benefit of the doubt and to no avail it just wasn't great. The Kitchen staff perhaps or a new chef... They have really really stepped up to the plate, tonight we so much enjoyed our dinners the fish and chips and burger prepared to perfection and delicious! Most especially had the pleasure of speaking with both the bartender Annie and Bar Manager Matt they really are exceptional in Customer Service and listening, because of the Chef, and staff we will be back!! Thanks for a great evening in our neighborhood so nice not to have to go too far especially on a snowy night!

After going to the Burntwood Tavern in Brecksville a few times after the first review was written. I think the odd service is isolated to the Rocky River location. The Brecksville staff is pretty accommodating, I just wish they weren't slow at times.

Looking at Burntwood, you'd think "this must be a really interesting place" with the old theater signage on the outside. The decor inside is woodsy and unfinished in an appealing way. I've had some great cocktails here, and the beer list is respectable. They've hopped on the Bloody Mary Bar train for weekend brunch (Bloody Marys must be the official drink of Rocky River, I swear) and also offer an entire gluten-free menu. The food holds promise too; if the dishes were well-executed with quality ingredients, I could look past the somewhat uninspired menu. But the problem here is consistency. I've enjoyed the zucchini frites in the past, but have also had completely flavorless calamari. We came about a month ago for brunch and the eggs on my benedict arrived to the table cold, and then this past weekend the eggs on my breakfast pizza were perfectly cooked and seemed to have come right out of the pan. Service is another mystery; every waiter/waitress I've ever had here appears completely exasperated. Not to say that they aren't friendly, because once they get around to the table they've always been pleasant but that's usually 5 to 10 minutes after being seated. Not sure if they need to hire more people or the staff just need to be managed better, but something is definitely lacking. I can recommend stopping here for a drink, but I would be anxious sending someone here for a meal because I can't guarantee they'd be satisfied.

We went on a Sunday night and the Burntwood Tavern was crowded, but not packed. Football was on and there was a very nice atmosphere. It took awhile to get seated, but we had a big party. The service after that was very good. The waiter and waitress we had were very polite and funny. I had the Asiago Chicken Sandwich and it was wonderful. You can tell the food is fresh and the chefs put effort into it. Good restaurant.

My wife and I have been to Burntwood a bunch of times and tonight was very disappointing. Our waitress forgot our appetizer, then brought it out after our entrees arrived. I ordered short ribs, the first round of which were inedible. Oh, and NOT short ribs. The second round was better, but again, NOT short ribs. Not a good son when a restaurant tries to pass pot roast off for something different. Very disappointed, will not be back.
(1)Tony L.
Service was great, food was blan (pork chop was dry, and steak didn't have a whole lot of flavor). When the crowd cleared there were 2 mice that kept running around in the back room. All in all it was just an over priced restaurant with okay food and a fancy environment.

Another of our regulars disappoints. On the first enjoyable patio day, we were pleased to get outside seating after a previous bad experience only moments before, While waiting for someone to at least give us some water, my hubby shored up the rickety table, and we waited some more. Then some more. No water, no apps, no drink order taken. And somehow, others seated after us got served with all these things. Not patronizing a restaurant on the decline, especially with a new place popping up in this area all the time.
(2)Anita K.
The atmosphere is friendly and ambiance Is inviting. Service was Fast and servers very friendly. The half chicken dinner was Not flavorful and the blistered asparagus Was over cooked. I was disappointed in my dinner. But will give it a second chance and try something else My husband had the Pot Roast dinner and was very satisfied.
(3)Samantha H.
The stone and brick and lighting in here is really great. We sat out on the patio. Their beer selection is good and the menu sounds really amazing. But the food didn't deliver on taste. Just alright. I do want to go again though, maybe we just didn't pick very good menu items. The service was great.
(3)Edna M.
Consistently, very good food and beer selection. Great happy hour. Kid friendly space. I've only been to the Rocky River location one time and the service started out promising and nose-dived from there. That is the only reason I didn't give them 4 stars. Our server was so obsessed with the efficiency and accuracy of the food delivery to each person in our party (12 people) that silly demands were made of us, like we weren't allowed to change seats. Our party was comprised of family members who see each other very rarely and there was no way I wasn't going to chat with everyone. I changed seats and the server was not happy that I didn't follow directions. Seriously? Everyone enjoyed their food and drink, though. The host was delightful.

My three friends and I dined at Burntwood tavern on Saturday night. We arrived at 6.30 and were seated right away. Restaurant was very crowded, I guess we just lucked out. No sooner did we sit down and look at the menu, our server was over getting our drink orders. A few minutes later, she was back explained the specials and answered our questions. I had the tavern steak and substituted fries. I ordered it rare, and that's how I got it! Never know with some restaurants. It was very good but it did come with "salsa verde". I should have asked for that on the side, but that's my bad. Friends had the peppersteak salad, tavern burger and finally a fish sandwich. Sandwiches came with fries and were quickly devoured. All in all everything was very good, as everyone cleaned their plates. Service was excellent, not only did we get a check back from our server after we got our meals, the manager also stopped over and asked about our visit, which was a nice touch. Should also point out that we got our meals in about 20 minutes, not bad for a busy Saturday night. This was my first time at the burntwood tavern, and I'll stop back. I'm giving 5 stars for my experience, frankly I can't remeber the last time I went out and didn't find one thing that turned me off. This place is a winner!
(5)Jen B.
Good food and a great gluten free menu! Our server was fantastic and even allowed me to sample the gazpacho (which I highly recommend). She was also very attentive to my restrictions. Live music was a nice touch.
(5)Leslie C.
Sometimes too noisy but decent food and fam friendlyish. Best tater tots ever! Great outdoor dining except when bands are too loud (and I'm not too old-just like to keep my concerts and dining separate).
(3)Chelsea K.
I only give this one star because it makes you give a star. Décor of the restaurant and overall feel is great. Service... That's another story. It was by leaps and bounds one of my worst experiences I've ever had. Man I hate to say that but it ruined the entire experience for us. We ordered from the bar, a glass of wine, an app and an entrée. Out of all of those items, the entrée arrived first, even before our wine. By the time we received silverware and A napkin, our meals were cold. An all around disappointment.
(1)Olga S.
Once upon a time there was a magical pseudo-English place here - "Pub". It had a very nice atmosphere, good beer but most importantly - boys in kilts. What do we have now? Good beer is gone. So are the kilts. Instead I and my Russian girlfriends have 50+ fully dressed (thank God) men checking us out and some sour wine with generic calamari. And yes, I might not remember the food at the "Pub" because my focus was elsewhere, but nevertheless I want it back. No we want it back. Kilts, mass-produced portraits of royal family and did I say kilts? Until then - we are boycotting the place. Amen.

We came here on a Friday night after a long day at work. We wanted a mini celebration. When we walked in there were a lot of people waiting by the hostess station.There really isn't a great place to wait for a table in here. They told us 20 minutes and we were seated in about 5, that was a nice surprise. Once we were seated, all I really noticed is how loud it was! I understand this is a bar and not a quiet restaurant, but it was loud. Throughout the meal our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food - the good: Cedar Salmon Salad - I wanted something light, was craving a salad. The salmon was well seasoned and well cooked. The salad was spinach which tasted pretty fresh with feta, onion, and a vinaigrette. It was dressed nicely, not too much, not too little. The crispy shoestring carrots on the salad were a very nice little surprise! The food - the bad: Pan Crusted Tilapia - 1st, the green beans came with bacon on them and bacon was listed nowhere in the description. We do not eat pork, so this was a problem. 2nd, the whole thing had so much oil on it, it was hard to taste anything else. The oil didn't really even taste like anything either, just gave a bad mouth feel. Ick. Last, the fish itself was pan fried and besides being oily tasted really sweet. I felt that it was missing something, maybe salt or spice or something to go with the maple flavor. However, there was no salt at the table to try out my theory that salt would make it better. He ended up only eating about half of the dish and went home hungry. Not so great. If I was basing the rating on this dish, it would be a 1 star. But since the service was good and my dish was good, they are getting 2.
(2)S Marie P.
This place is in a great location. The drinks were delicious and they have an excellent selection of liquor and beer. However, the food left a lot to be desired. I had an asiago crusted chicken sandwich and it was tasteless and bland. The fries were average however the tots were delicious. The service was not fabulous either and it was slow. My drink did not stay full. There are so many exceptional restaurants around the area that I will not waste my time or money here.
(2)John B.
The decor and ambience is really nice. We had a party of 12. I was not impressed by service or quality of food. The pastrami sandwich presentation was thin sandwich and mixed vegetables were greasy. Food temp was barely above room temp. My ice tea was empty for last portion of meal. It was disappointing. One good touch was the champagne they provided for the 3 birthdays were celebrating. Nice touch.
(2)Samantha F.
My man and I needed to re-fuel from our crazy day of shopping at the West Side Market and Trader Joe's. Why not the Burntwood Tavern? I've wanted to try this place for ages. We were boisterously welcomed by who I eventually deduced was the Service Manager. Our Bartender Mark was nice and not overly chatty; a welcomed change from the usual chit-chatty bartender. I was excited to see some CO brews on tap and chose the Flying Dog Old Scratch. Das Mann liked it so he had one too. For lunch I chose the "Pick Two" and had a nice house salad and their California Chix Sandwich. The chicken was perfectly prepared...nice and flavorful and not dry! I loved the sprouts on the sandwich; not too many places in CLE have sprouts. Only thing I would have added was a nice brown mustard, but hey...that's a personal thing. Das Mann got a Reuben w/ the house fries. While it wasn't true to the Reuben recipe...it was DELISH. The fries weren't bad. Burntwood offered a nice variety of side options. I chose to try their sweet potato fries...I mean, how can I not try every place's sweet potato fries? Eh....these weren't the best I've ever had, but overall everything else was pretty tasty. While we were driving to our destination the man was checkin' out the reviews on his fancy new iPhone from Yelp. The overall consensus was that this place was great w/ good food, and reasonable prices. I've got to say, I was impressed w/ the food, the prices....not so much? They're not uber-reasonable; while not terribly overpriced, I didn't feel the price-point was fabulous. (My selections was $10 about $2 higher than I think it was worth.) When I asked our super bartender about whether or not I'd get a warm brownie if I ordered a mimosa he gave me a confused look. Apparently the man read a review on Yelp that said some chick got a warm brownie w/ her mimosa. Looking back at the reviews now, I don't see this. I have no idea what the man was reading or if he was just makin' crap up, but regardless the bartender calls the "Host / Manager" over. I tell him my question and he says I can have a warm brownie if I want, but no, they don't come w/ a mimosa. As we're getting ready to walk out the door, low and behold...the dude walks over w/ a warm brownie and two spoons! You're kidding, right!? :) The brownie was HOT and gooey, and so so yummy!!!! And, yeah, I'm sold. (Read: Give a girl chocolate and you've got her business for life) So here's the verdict: Atmosphere: Good, could be super cozy w/ the fire going Service: Rocking....thank you for having good service Food: Good, fast, and while slightly more expensive for certain items, the taste was worth it I'd recommend it. Check the Burntwood out...I don't think you'll be sorry.

Had their veggie burger. Would have to say, for being a vegetarian, it had absolutely no flavor. Felt like I was just eating black beans and mashed black beans. I did see what appeared to be cilantro but can't say I tasted any of it. I don't even think it was seasoned with salt and pepper. I had to ask for more ketchup because I used my whole first cup they gave me to try to flavor the burger. If I were a meat eater and tried it for the first time, I'd never have a veggie burger again. I would also recommend a vegetarian to find something else unless eating plain black beans basically from a can is up their alley. The "tomato aioli" sauce also didn't add anything to it which I had hoped it would.
(1)Angeline K.
I had high hopes for the Burntwood Tavern. I read great reviews of the Chagrin location and read promising plans of the new spot in River. Big fans of The Pub, we checked it out for my friend's birthday. We got a table promptly. The beer and wine list was good and I ordered a milk stout. :) I was impressed with what they had done to the interior with new lights, sleeker booths and exposed brick. When we ordered our meals, I discovered they were out of salmon which incredibly limited my options as a pescetarian. There weren't many vegetarian options, but I'm sure they could veg something up. I subbed shrimp for salmon in my salad. It was a pile of spinach with six shrimp. It was good but not great. Everyone else enjoyed their food which included a burger, the blackened chicken wrap, and the excellent fish and chips.We were hoping to stay for drinks but our server and the restaurant seemed in a hurry to close. After waiting way too long for another drink, we decided to try somewhere else. We decided to check it out again for Mother's Day. They were out of salmon...again. Our server didn't tell us this until we ordered which surprised me considering salmon is in at least 5 items on the menu. Then they forgot our Cesar salad, the turkey wrap was lukewarm, and I think my sandwich was supposed to be on ciabatta bread. The service was friendly but slow and the food was just okay, so we Ieft disappointed again. We could be going on off nights and I don't like writing not so great reviews. However, I really wanted to like Burntwood and left feeling less than impressed.

I have such a good time every time I come here. We went here to celebrate my cousin's bachelorette party and I'm so glad we did. They gave us a semi-private table and when the meal was over they gave us all a glass of champagne. My other cousin, the maid of honor, was underage by a year or so and they totally didn't give her any trouble and understood that she was just celebrating. I'm not condoning anything, it was just pleasant that they didn't give her a hard time on her sister's night. The food was fantastic and the staff was super friendly and even played along with some of our bachelorette games!
(4)Ang T.
Good food, friendly staff. It has a casual cozy atmosphere - lots of woodwork, booths and a bar.
(4)Sara B.
Yay for "new" American! The food at Burntwood was hit and miss, but mostly hit. We got the Tavern Chips that were so good we ate them all before I remembered to take a picture. For our dinner we got the pork chop (which was a huge portion of 2 chops) and it had that great smoky wood smell. We wanted to try the fish sticks, but didn't want to commit to the whole meal, so we go the app, which was a huge serving, but the fish was very bland and the coating not crisp. The heaping portion of fries were great though. I also got the sliders. The meat was cooked perfectly, but they lacked condiments with just a tiny squirt of ketchup and tiny slice of homemade pickle. Great house cabernet too! The atmosphere was really cool. We were on the closed in patio and it was raining hard, and the sound it made was nice, it kind of muffled everything around you. And for an indoor/outdoor patio, I was perfectly warm, which for this freeze baby is seldom the case. I can't wait to try it out in the summer! Also the wait staff was very sweet making suggestions and being attentive. There was also a small band playing songs that if you went to HS in the 90's you were loving. Almost forgot, and this is a biggie, do NOT get the coleslaw if you have any desire to not smell like onions for the next day and a half. Seriously, it was hard to sleep.
(5)Erin B.
I like the atmosphere of Burntwood- open floor plan, nice decor, covered patio seating. The food was pretty good and decently priced. The service was decent- a bit on the slower side. All in all a pretty cool place.
(3)Kim Y.
We just left the restaurant and I have never had such an awful experience. Let me preface that we have been here at least 3 other times and we have had good experiences in the past - Asked hostess if fireplace was on and if we could be sit there, we were sat 3 tables away from a non-operating fireplace - 3 servers walked by and never looked at or acknowledged us- no " I will be right over" (At this point we say- maybe we should leave??) - Hostess returns to our table to ask if we want to order a drink and we reply" we are debating if we are going to stay" and informed her that the others servers have walked right but and she says- I will fix this' -we ask for h2o's w/ lemon, hostess returns with 2 glasses of h20 no lemon no straw - Hostess walks over to our table to drop off an order of comped chips- greasy and flavorless - We ordered the French dip & fish sandwich- food served with no tarter, malt vinegar, or ketchup _ we ask for condiments x2. The prime rib meat was OVERLY hickory flavored and watery The fish sandwich was mushy and soggy After sitting for 7 mins talking how awful our food tasted after 1 bite, shaking our heads in disbelief, and waiting for the hostess to return, I walked up to the bar and asked for the manager, the gentleman replied that he was the manager. We explained how disappointed we were and he offered to replace our foods and we declined. We just want to forget that this happened. This is now off my "in the neighborhood place".
(1)Rachel B.
Not the best, though not the worst. I came here with a group and got really exceptional service from the waiter. He was an older gentlemen who was very classy. He did a great job of explaining all the dishes. The dishes themselves were good, but a little overdone. Not that they were cooked too long, but rather, that there was too much going on in each dish. The flavors kind of clashed instead of complementing each other. There was a roasted tomato concoction that seemed to make its way into more than one dish. While it was delicious alongside the hummus appetizer, it was kind of overwhelming on my chicken entree. The caesar salad was wonderful. The atmosphere was kind of odd. I am remembering The Pub, and I guess the layout hasn't changed, but it's sort of swanky now, which turns me off a little bit. The lighting was dim and it was really loud in there. Also, the hostesses were extremely robotic in the way that they stared at everyone coming and going with a vacant smize and an emotionless "Have a good night." You know what I'm talking about. However, despite the few minor flaws, I would give this place another try.
(3)Hannah S.
I had dinner last night here with friends. The restaurant is much larger than it seems and the decor is very inviting. I had the pecan crusted Tilapia which was excellent. The other members of the party had steak and chicken and both said they were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The house salad was a very nice size and the greens were fresh. Sweet potato fries hit the spot as well. I detracted one star for noise level. While we were able to carry on a conversation, I had to raise my voice louder than I like to and by the end of the night my vocal cords where a little sore from the strain. Other than that, I will definitely come back for the food and maybe asked to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant if there is such a place.
(4)Eric C.
It's essentially the next chain in training. There is nothing special, new, or unique going on here. The beer list is good. Beyond the beer, the food looks and tastes like chain joint food. Mid-level ingredients prepared to exacting standards meant to keep costs low. It's not worth the time unless you want pedestrian "modern American" chain food. That's not to say the cooks do a bad job--nothing is cooked wrong, it's just not anything special. For the same price, I can go get chef-driven from-scratch food elsewhere.
(2)Sarah S.
I've been to the Burntwood Tavern a couple times now. I love the exposed stone and the large fireplaces they have. It gives the ambiance of a very "cozy" feel. I had the veggie burger and thought it was excellent. It was cooked to perfection and with the arugula and tomato aioli on top, it made for a great burger. The second time I went, I had the lobster bisque and sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods and I thought they were excellent here. I would've liked a sauce on the side other than ketchup, but that's just getting picky. The soup was excellent and perfectly creamy. Our server was great and very attentive. We didn't have to wait at all when we went on a late Sunday afternoon. They have a huge bar with ample seating. While we were there, there was a private party going on in the side room which opens up in the summer making for a great patio space.
(4)Ella S.
Great start that went downhill as the meal progresses. 2 out of 3 meals were tasteless. Add to it a disappearing server, very nice but not there when needed, and it's a poor showing for this place.
(2)Amy T.
I've sat at the bar a few times for a glass (or two) of wine with friends. There's an undeniable "burnt-wood" quality to the interior and it is actually very warm and romantic. In fact, there's an undeniable "burnt wood" smell inside. I probably would give the place more stars without such smell, but I can't get over it. It is nauseating and I kept asking friends (each time I've been) "Seriously? You don't smell that? That burning, chemically, turpentine-y smell doesn't bother you?" To make matters worse, on top of the burnt smell, there's the sewer smell that sometimes tiptoes up to the dining area. I'm not sure what's going on with that, but I've smelled the same thing in Erie Island (next door). Luckily, the location of the smell in Erie Island is coming from the basement staircase, a long ways from wherever people eat/drink. You might be thinking, "why did you even give it 3 stars if you get a headache every time you are there?" My answer is that every time I'm there, the service is great, the food (fries!) have been wonderful, and none of my friends notice the smell. I can't guarantee other patrons will. If I go again and don't smell the burnt smell, I'll update my review. My guess is that the scent will dissipate with time. So, in review of my review (ha!), service is lovely, food tastes lovely, smell of burning wood, not so lovely. If you are reading this and wondering if you should go, I'd recommend going. More than likely, the burning smell won't bother you.
(3)Amanda L.
Fantastic experience. Had a very good live band and staff was great. Food was great and drink were just as good. Patio adds another star. Will definitely go back.
(5)Mae W.
We went to Burntwood yesterday for dinner yesterday. The appetizer,drinks and service was fine. The salmon salad was really bad. The line cook did not know how to make a salad dressing. It lacked vinegar and was oily with the taste of corn syrup and no flavor. They forgot salt and needed acid. My spinach was steamed flat. The Salmon was poached with no flavor. Whoever learned to chop onions needs more experience. When the dish arrived, it looked worn from sitting under the heat lamp. The band playing was so bad . I think it was a blues rock? It was not dinner-sit outside and enjoy music.

On 9/27/2014, we had an engagement party for my daughter and future son-in-law, with about 36 people in attendance. From the time we started planning this event with Mike Krebs (General Manager) of Burntwood Tavern about 1 month ago until the event took place yesterday, we were completely satisfied. We had the back room, which was perfect for our group. Our waitresses, Jamie and Taylor, were phenomenal in taking care of everyone. We had delicious appetizers and drinks first, followed by an amazing buffet meal. We had brought our own cake, which the staff took care of cutting, plating and serving, followed by a champagne toast (compliments of Burntwood Tavern). Everyone in our party was pleased with the food and service. If you are looking for a place for a party, I highly recommend this place. My family has had other much smaller get-togethers here and have always been pleased. Well done, Burntwood Tavern and staff.!!!
(5)P S.
I'll start out by saying that I intend to go back because I'm sure they can do better. The space is warm and inviting, a perfect big bar for a cold winter night. There's a fireplace in the back half of the restaurant though the table closest to it is a communal meant for at least eight to 10 so your smaller party will not get too close. We sat at an oversized table for two (which I love) next to a larger group (which I didn't love, they were loud). Our server was friendly, the beer selection pretty good and the food menu enticing. I asked her opinion, roasted half chicken or cedar plank salmon? Salmon, she replied, she said it was delicious. She asked how I'd like it cooked, I said medium rare. I do not love overcooked fishes and found it interesting they'd ask a temperature preference. Anchor Steam Christmas Ales ordered, Caesar salad to start, off we go. The salad was good, nothing fancy, just the right amount of dressing. Huge croutons. The fish arrived shortly after our plates were cleared and unfortunately, was nowhere near cooked to order. While tasty and I'm sure fresh, it was well done as were the sides of veg which included some asparagus spears and snow peas. Two veg, no starch? Hmm. The fish was tasty if overcooked but the veggies were just...sad. We finished, ordered two more beers for dessert and were presented with the check without asking for it - boo. For two salads, two mains and four beers our check was just over $75 which seemed steep considering the quality. With that said, I will go back and try a few other things because it seems like the food SHOULD be better and I really did like the space. Next time though, I'll request my veg be blanched or just sort of waved in front of a heat source, not order the fish and sit near the front where it's probably much less loud.

Burntwood Tavern is very unique and located in a very convienent location. We had a very large group and without a reservation, they sat us right away. I should add, that it was busy, and the hostess did not even roll her eyes when we told her 12-15 ppl were in our party. The appetizers were fabulous - I had tuna nachos, but others had the quesadillas and they looked amazing! Entrees did not meet the overall expectations and one person in our party had a chicken dish that was still raw. The reason for the 4 stars is: 1. The service! Seating 15 ppl who don't have a reservation on a busy night without an eye roll is tough! Plus, since it was my friends birthday, the manager gave EVERYONE in our party a free glass of champagne to toast! 2. The appetizers! They were delic! 3. The drink menu! They had some very fun drinks and a wide variety! I will be back - definitely not getting the chicken though!
(4)Kavi D.
Standard American pub/bar fare. For the vegetarian, not a lot of choices as would be expected. I ordered a tomato and mozzarella salad, which was actually quite good, as well as a side of sweet potato fries, which were also crisp, appropriately salted and sure did hit the spot. The food was good, the service was solid and the atmosphere is actually quite nice. I would consider coming back here just to sit at the bar, which to me seemed like one of the coolest, most nicely decorated bars, with great ratio of seats to flat-screen TVs I have seen in the area. I'm giving this 3 stars because while the food and service is good, it's nothing really special. It's a good place, with a good atmosphere, which why it deserves a good (3 star) rating.
(3)Alexis C.
We visited Burntwood Tavern as a party of 4 on a busy hot summer Friday evening. The hostess was very rude to the party ahead of us and told them sharply to "just wait a minute!" The inside was busy and smelled funny, sort of like a vinegar smell. Maybe this is the wood along with the high humidity? Anyway, we opted to sit outside. The wait was about 30 min but we didn't mind the outside so we were seated on the patio. The waiter was very nice and helpful. He made some recommendations on drinks and dishes. My husband, unfortunately did not agree with the recommendation of the pork chop with the peach sauce. It was extremely overcooked, dry and tasted strongly of canned peaches. I had the chicken dish and it was almost overcooked, the Parmesan cheese breading was extremely over baked but it was still tasty. Our friends ordered the halibut and the cedar planked salmon over gazpacho. The fish dishes were far better than mine and the gazpacho was delicious. The drinks were good and the calamari appetizer was also enjoyable. For the price it was not that great of a place and I don't think I will be returning.

This place has gone way downhill, my wife and I used to love having dinner here. Painfully slow service from start to finish. Waitress was nice enough but that's where the positive experience ended. Drinks took forever and entrees took about 40 minutes. My "pork loin" was way over-cooked and tasteless. My wife was served the wrong order. To add insult to injury, not a single person from the front of the house came to our table after our waitress said "I'll send a manager to your table". We're generally pretty easy going restaurant patrons, but when the experience is THIS bad, you get a Yelp post like this. At the end of the day, we will never go back.
(1)Linda H.
Was at the Burntwood for Happy Hour and a first time customer. Will probably go back. Great pour and price at happy hour. Appetizers were well prepared and served. Very filling.
(4)Amy C.
Love the Burntwood. Drinks are fantastic, food is always tasty, and the service is good. Our go to place for dinner and happy hour! Try the Tavern Saint martini and the scallops entree - YUM!

If I could give this 3.5 stars I would. Our party of 12 went last weekend for a friend's birthday and had a reservation for 8 pm. We arrived on time but they weren't able to seat us until 8:30, kind of annoying but no big deal. To our delight and surprise upon our seating we were presented with three apps and a glass of champagne each to compensate for our wait. A very nice gesture, and much appreciated! They gave us the Hummus, Calamari, and Artichoke, Roasted Garlic and Tasso Fondue. All were great, but the perfectly seasoned and very tender Calamari especially stood out to me. I ordered the Asiago Crusted Chicken for dinner, and while it wasn't incredibly original it was delicious. I wrapped up half and ate the leftovers as soon as I got home later that night. The friend to my right ordered the house salad, which I tried and quite liked, although next time I would get the dressing on the side. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their food and the service was fantastic. We used to go to the Pub every Monday for trivia and were pretty bummed when it closed. I love what Burntwood has done with the interior of the restaurant, and while I'll still miss trivia, the food is an upgrade as well. Definitely worth a trip back.

Due to its plethora of imported draft options, I was disappointed to see the Pub go, but Burntwood seems to be a step up for two reasons. First, it matches all those taps the Pub boasted, but emphasizes delicious and widely varied domestic micros. If you're not a boozehound like me, the second reason is more compelling: The food appears to be considerably better than the Pub's. I don't mean that as damning with faint praise; the Pub had some lousy dishes, but it did many things competently. Nonetheless, I'm happy that Burntwood seems to have more ambition and a more coherent menu. My husband and I were impressed by the food: artichoke and Tasso fondue, fish (cod) and chips, and perfectly blackened scallops swimming in a refreshing gazpacho. It was imaginative and a cut above your standard pub fare. The fondue was accompanied by a delightful pickled red onion that did a nice job of cutting the delicious fattiness of the dip. My fish and chips arrived with a jalapeño tartar sauce and a slaw that featured Napa cabbage and red onion. Servers were on their toes from the second we stepped in - efficient and friendly. They seem determined to avoid any early missteps. It's easy to see why, since the owners have clearly sunk a lot of time, money and effort into the space. Speaking of which, the space is well done, but could be a bit cold on a less-than-crowded night. Gone is virtually every trace of the faux British pub. In its place is a warm mixture of modern and rustic with a heavy emphasis on natural wood and simple accents. Think of it as a space that Danish architects designed in Kentucky to age bourbon.

Patio was really nice. I was surprised by the lack of beer selection they had. I guess I expected more. Lots of beers, just not good ones.

Burntwood Tavern is a go-to place for us. Set in a renovated old movie theater, it's industrial meets cozy and their patio is great to sit on during the warmer months (although there is a fireplace out there for added warmth during chillier months). Live music on most weekend nights. Service has always been good, if not a little overbearing, which isn't always a bad thing. They have a good beer/cocktail selection with a full bar. Food has always been delicious, I just wish their menu had a few more entree selections that are budget friendly. Overall a great experience.

AMAZZINGGG BEER SELECTIONS and good Dessert :D The atmosphere was warm and cozy-reminiscent of a hunting/skiing lodge. Plenty of wood work and wrought iron design integration with relatively neutral colors. They have a large bar that accommodate at least 15-20 people? The restaurant is slightly divided by the bar, one side- they have an enclosed seasonal area with fireplace with couches, tables, and tvs for dining. The other side of the restaurants has more booths. I absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere of the enclosed area: watched the football game and was kept nice and warm by the fire. The coffee table was a bit low for the couch we were eating at. I tried a seasonal brew Southern Tier- Pum-King and that was absolutely delicious. It had nice heaviness to the ale with hint of Pumpkin Pie spices. For appetizers, I got their Tuna Nachos. The Wonton Chips were nice, crispy, and warm. I liked the flavors of the onions, cilantro cream drizzle, tomatoes, and scallions. However, the tuna should speak for itself and it was not the star of the appetizer. I couldn't taste the tuna in the plethora of flavors. Additionally, it seems as if they skimped a bit on the tuna- as the toppings to chips were slightly off. For dinner: I shared the smoked pork chops and rack of lamb. The smoked pork chops were delicious with the sweet potato fries and the peach-jalapeno preserves. The smoked pork chops had a heavy mesquite flavoring and the sweet preserves were perfect to balance out the heavy smokiness. The preserves had a slight hint of spiciness, but it was more sweet and peachy than spicy. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy, but similar to any other sweet potato fry. I was a bit disappointed with the rack of lamb. The lamb was undercooked when it first came to me, so I had to send it back to finish cooking. The lamb was cooked well when it came back, but it was somewhat gamey in flavor. The gameness was disappointing, although it is hard to eliminate the gameness in lamb. The root vegetables served with the lamb were delicious- well seasoned and savory- it hit the carb spot wonderfully. Dessert: Burntwood Tavern Ice Cream Sandwich. I loved their chocoalte waffle that sandwiched the ice cream. The chocolate waffle was soo soo good. It heavy on the chocolate flavor without excess sweetness. I loved their ice cream with small pieces of raspberries randomly mixed into the chocolate ice cream. It is sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. My only complaint is that the waffle was soggy from the ice cream melting, I'll just ask them to put the waffle pieces on the side next time. The service was accommodating and the managers came by to check on dinner, without being too attentive. As stated above, they have an AMAZING BEER SELECTION and a relatively good wine selection as well. I want to go back and try their mixed drinks soon and more appetizers and desserts!!

Love this place!! We stumbled across Burntwood earlier this year and had a wonderful lunch with our children there so my husband and I chose to eat dinner at Burntwood Tavern on our first night out after our son was born and we couldn't be more pleased with the service or the food! It was a busy Friday night and we had to bring our son with us. The hostess was extremely accommodating, the servers were friendly and our food was brought our quickly. It was all very good! Toward the end of our meal, a gentleman (not sure if it was a manager or an owner) came up and gave both my husband and I a glass of champagne and congratulated us on the birth of our son. How awesome is that?! Such a nice gesture that added to the enjoyment of our evening out. Thank you Burntwood!

I have tried this tavern twice now. First when it was new and then today. On my first visit I had the fish sandwich. I thought it was ok; but The Pub's (the previous restaurant) fish had been fantastic, and this was not nearly as good. Well, a year later I decided to try Burntwood Tavern again; I ordered the "Reuben sandwich". I suggest changing the name as I know my Reuben sandwiches and this definitely is not one. When it came to the table it was about 14 inches long and the corn beef resembled loosely ground, sweetened hamburger topped with slaw (softened cabbage) instead of sour kraut. This avant garde interpretation just doesn't work for this Clevelander. It is basically a squished loaf of bread with melted cheese and a sprinkling of corned beef on top with a thin layer of sweet cabbage pushed together to make a sandwich. All said and done 1 1/2" inches thick -- come on this is Cleveland -- the 3" minimum applies. WHERE'S THE BEEF? Not at Burntwood Tavern to be sure. This place is simply overpriced for what it offers. I do not plan on returning, however if you're in the area I would recommend trying one of the other restaurants around beachcliff -- Tartine, Sweet Melissa's, Stino da Napoli, Pearl of the Orient, Market or Beachcliff Tavern. If you're going to eat out in Rocky River you should choose one of these restaurants as they offer a much better value for your dollar.

Tried this place 3 times. Wrong drink order twice. Went to pay with a gift card and it was not accepted. Credit card wasn't either. The POS was down. Fortunately I had cash. What happens if I didn 't? I suppose I'd have to find an ATM and leave my wife as collateral. No apology, just waited for the cash. The flatbead Sicilian pizza was a joke. No sausage as advertised, and the 'flat bread' was as this as a sheet of paper. Go to Merry Arts for good flatbread. The cook at this place should go there and take some lessons. Good thing it was 1/2 price night because it sure wasn't worth the 11 dollar menu price. Really not worth the 1/2 price either. The place was just about empty when I was there several times. Maybe just a few slow days and nights or maybe people are catching on to this place. There are some good menu items here and some were done well. Service is good but someone is cutting corners in the kitchen and bar service is lacking at times. Too bad, because the physical setting is good with varied seating options and a comfortable environment. It wouldn't take much for this to be a great place. But it won't take much more to for it to go away, either

i'll keep it short and to the point...........good for happy hour i'm told, but i wouldn't return for dinner or happy hour!! food is average at best, appetizer sliders tasted like they were pan fried, unimpressive and would make a white castle slider look like a big mac!! had to get out my magnifying glass to see them!!! fish & chips was average with a tasteless cole slaw and 2 little planks of fish that looked like they came fresh out of the freezer, pre battered. the service is rough and VERY VERY SLOW and untrained!!! server NEVER offered us the specials for the night because she thought they were too unimpressive. i don't think she really knew what they were......after we asked about them she tried to remember what they were, one of them being a "mac & cheese dish with weird cheeses like gouda" were her exact words. the only positive is the atmosphere and decor with large booths, a fire place and a rustic feel...... this place would need a lot of changes if i were to go back. i wouldn't recommend it, i wouldn't go back...........unimpressive, unprofessional, blah..........food is ehh.....

I'm giving it a low ranking for the awful food which didn't line up with the great description and prices. Almost willing to give it a three as the structure and patio warrant a four.

Terrible service. Food was average. Manager ( male, short with dark hair) was rude. Never going back again.

Great decor and very swanky but agree with someone else about the noise. I've been there twice and sat in the back and in the covered patio and both had the same deafening noise level. the beer selection is great and the service was also very good. This however did not make up for the lackluster food. on the first trip we had the porkchops and walleye. The chops were very dry and tasteless and while the walleye was ok, it was very small and the potatoes it came with were so overcooked they were inedible. on the second trip, we went with a group of 7 and 4 of the 7 had issues with their meals. my chicken philly sandwich was a safe play and while very tasty, the sandwich was tiny and left me wanting more. someone else in the group ordered the walleye this time and it was riddled with bones. the pumpkin ravioli was undercooked, the salmon blt wrap was bland. I want to like this place because it seems like a great addition to the neighborhood. The waitress was quick to try and remedy the issues we had with those that spoke up. also, the covered patio was using outdoor heaters and it literally felt like a sauna. most of us were very uncomfortable until they turned off only to come back on about 20 min later. brutal. I hope they figure out the food. I will give them another chance but probably not for at least a few more weeks when hopefully they figure out these issues.

Quick Take: Really nice bar, especially if you like beer. Lots of wonderful stuff on tap. Pseudo-rustic decor, which is okay, but I never knew how loud "rustic" can be. My god, sound bounces off everything in that place, so skip the intimate conversation--unless you can do it at "11." Food: I ordered a salmon BLT ($11) and a side of blistered asparagus ($4). Husband ordered Salmon Spinach Fettuccine ($16). The food was good--not remarkable, but tasty enough. At the risk of sounding like an ugly American, the portions were skimpy--especially for the price. No side dishes-- not even bread. Again, we're not looking for huge portions here, but rather ones that satisfy. The lack of value was reinforced when our food arrived on ginormous plates. Overall, rather disappointing. These prices seemed more east coast than rust belt. We will go back to the bar and enjoy the great beer selection, but we will eat someplace else.

decent bloody mary, but could use an extra kick [especially if one is partial to spicy flavors]. fish & chips are standard, if not slightly bland. pumpkin ravioli is expertly spiced, and very tasty.
(2)Renee C.
Good service - sometimes a little too good (aka, please stop interuppting our conversation every 2.5 minutes). And the food was good too. I give an A+ to the tavern chips with blue cheese. And an A+ for the ambiance and decor. It has a nice cozy feeling for being such a big bar. I enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll be back.

Went here last night to try it out. There was a 30 minute wait but we found seats at the bar. This place has a really cool atmosphere, nice cooper bar. They have a good beer selection, a few seasonals and local favorites. No Oktoberfest though which was a little disappointing. We started with zucchini frittes which was served with a two sauces, one sweet/spicy and one smoky. Then moved on to the smoked pork chops and the scallops, both were excellent. This is a great addition to the restaurant scene on the west side.

Happy hour is a go. The clientele is slightly older... But for $5 cocktails and half price apps it's a good atmosphere. the dinners are overpriced for the quality of food you get.
