Chesterland Tavern

I had several disappointing experiences here right after they reopened. Must have been several years ago now. The patio environment is so wonderful that I decided to give them another try. On two separate occasions recently I had meals with friends there and was very impressed. The menu is varied and much improved. All of our entrees were excellent. The salads were Very good also. If you haven’t been here in a while, please give it another try. You won’t be disappointed!

Outside of building is great. Nice landscaping. I guess considering the outside I expected the inside to be a little better. The hostess station is in an odd spot, opposite the entry point. The watiress was ok, the food was ok, very bar type food. I guess I was hoping for something a little bit different… Clean… Just nothing to make me say I want to try that again.

I drive by here every day and finally decided to stop in after picking up the kids from school for a quick early dinner. Food was ok, nothing special but not bad for the price. From the kids menu we ordered pasta with Alfredo sauce as that’s all the kids seem to eat when we go out. Once the pasta came it had black pepper all over it. Kids took a few bites and that was the end of that. Not sure why they would put black pepper on a kids menu item but oh well. I had a simple burger and fries which was ok. Will give it another chance w/​o the kids and try the wings.

Decided to try Chesterland Tavern again last month. WOW have they now changed. We have gone back every week since. Hats off to the chef. FOOD is great. Prices are great. Bartenders are the best. Plenty of bar sitting available. Nice happy hour and beer selection. Couple of food items that we have had … mac and cheese with bbq pulled pork, chicken paprikash, meatloaf over mashed potatoes with onion rings on top, chicken carbonaro (which was a special for the night) … and also have a great happy hour and specials every night. Chesterland Tavern do not change anything because we love eating here!

Great food, friendly, attentive service and the Beer glasses are better than most places… just request a non-​frosted glass when ordering a craft beer.

The wife and I stopped by a few nights ago to check out the Chesterland Tavern, and we thought it was pretty good. The service was great and the food was satisfying. I ordered the «Pulled Pork BBQ Mac/​Cheese» and it was more than I could eat. Very good! The wife got a shrimp entrée that she said was good. Pleasant experience overall. The only thing I think they need is an update to the restaurant area. Looks a little dated to me. Other than that, keep up the good work.

Neat little tavern.
Our seat seating looked pretty but was too chilly for us to eat outside.
Ordered the chicken bruschetta pasta. Absolutely delicious. Great size portion. Nice amount of chicken and ingredients. Balsamic glaze was yummy and they used just enough so that it wasn’t overwhelming.
Side salad was nice size.
Service was a little slow, but there seemed to be only one server working our room.
Would definitely go again.

Went there during happy hour at outside bar. Draft beer tasted flat and watery. Vodka with splash of soda/​cranberry tasted watery and like no vodka. Asked for and paid for shot of vodka added. Still very watery and weak. Appetizer flatbread was not flatbread but thick doughy and short of being burnt. Only could taste burnt cheese on top. Chicken plank appetizer was dry and overcooked Might be cheap, but was awful. Not a Happy Hour. Too bad, nice setting but terrible food and drink

I’ve driven by this place so many times I can’t even begin to count. We finally decided to try it and had no idea that they had this awesome patio and outside bar. We were hooked right away. Great atmosphere, Great service, fantastic food with plenty of choices. Outstanding. This is a must go place.

A spontaneous suburban Saturday night landed us way out east of Cleveland at Chesterland Tavern — and we were pleasantly surprised!
Upon our arrival we saw a well-​designed, casual, inviting patio space in the back. There was a live band rocking the sun to set, and ages ranging from 22 to 72.
My wife and I were impressed with the selections and options on the menu. A broad variety all of which sounded delectable. Food was great; staff were friendly and personable but not overly involved in your meal. And the venue was clean, well-​attended, and comfortable.

Chesterland Tavern is a great little place to grab some food, drinks, enjoy live music! The renovated outside patio and bar area is top notch.

During the reign of the previous owner a friend and I used to come in and order 50 garlic wings for starters. A second 50 was often ordered as the first order wound down. The new owner has really terrible garlic sauce that is runny and oily. I can hardly gag down a dozen. (for pretty near the same price, to boot). Ambiance is a tad better than before, but the wings don’t hold a candle to what was once here. Buffalo Wild Wings, Winking Lizard, Cleats, Danny Boy’s, Quaker Steak & Lube, and even Wing Street (Pizza Hut) have better wings.
Not open for LUNCH. Not open SUNDAY. TWO HUGE negatives.

I love the Chesterland Tavern. When I first went I was expecting a local Applebee’s-esque kind of joint — in other words frozen and then deep fried food, plus beer. It was a pleasant surprise to discover a versatile menu with scratch made food. It’s not too adventurous but eclectic enough not to be boring/​predictable. I have liked almost every dish I have ordered — though surprisingly their wings are just mediocre (the hot sauce is too thin and doesn’t stick to the wings). The burgers are fantastic and in my opinion the best in the area, except maybe the burger at Oak and Embers. Six dollar burger night is a steal. The beer is cold and the selection is a pretty good range.
The atmosphere is welcoming as both a family restaurant and local watering hole — not always an easy thing to do. The large patio area is pleasant in warm weather. However, be aware there are usually smokers at nearby outside bar.
Servers are always pleasant and helpful.

I have been to Chesterland Tavern twice, and I want to like it more. The bar is fun (especially the back bar/​patio area). The first visit I had the pizza flatbread that was completely burned on the bottom. Try number 2 was made with the wrong toppings. I decided to hold off on try number 3.
My next visit I tried the fish and chips. I love coleslaw, so I made sure I got that on the side. I have never tasted huge chunks of onion in Cole Slaw before, but I have now. And WOW is it terrible. Overpowering everything in the slaw. Not good. Fish was «ok» but nothing special or flavorful about it.
I’ll come back — just not to eat.

Awesome place! The patio is excellent and the bar is beautiful. Great food and really good service! Can’t wait to go back!

Customer service is lacking. We had an issue with our reservation and they really gave us the runaround. Food is good which helped. We had 6:30 res for 10, they gave our table away, wouldn’t sit us any where else! The manager, Terri, was useless and has no business being in that position!

Nice patio with live music on a Wednesday night. Food was pretty good. I ordered a chicken Cobb salad and a side of Mac and cheese. Buffalo wings were nice and spicy. Kid’s pizza was judged a «meh» but the French fries were very good. Service was friendly and efficient.

Awesome place. Great drinks, good food, and better service. Bartenders will make anything you request. This is a hidden gem.

We were excited to try this restaurant as they’re aren’t many choices in the area. They actually stopped taking/​submitting food orders (including ours) for a while as the kitchen was backed up. This is about 6pm on a Saturday night. We waited over 1.5 hours for our food and then my order was wrong. Twice! The waitress also would take our empty soda glass and never bring another drink. We asked for water or soda repeatedly and she never brought another beverage to the table. I finally told them don’t bother to try to bring the correct food dish and they removed it from our bill. They should have offered to comp the entire meal. We will not return.

I agree with another reviewer; kinda wish there was a 3 and a half stars. But I’ve only been there once, and I am planning on going back, so 4 stars is the winner for now.
I really liked their friendliness, and casualness, while receiving good service.
I also love that they have liver and onions and stuffed cabbage on the menu. Reminds me of my mom’s cookings.
The menu is pretty good but the food quality was pretty mediocre.
Still, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and a place that makes me want to come back is worth 4 stars in my book.
