Prosperity Social Club

We found this on a whim.
Walked in and we were seated quickly.
Coffee was pretty good.
Polish Breakfast:
I liked the portion size, you could ideally save half for breakfast the next morning.
I never had pierogies for breakfast, it was an interesting experience. the kielbaski was yummy. I didn’t finish the eggs and potatoes because there was just too much and you have to go in order of expense/​meat, then specialty item, and leave the potatoes and eggs. I’d eat this again.
Eggs Blackstone:
My girlfriend got this. I had a bit of it. It was pretty good. I think the combination of the egg, tomato, bacon and spinach with the hollandaise sauce was good. I’m not a big fan of poached eggs and Hollandaise, but if you like that kind of stuff, my gf finished the entire meal. That good!
Overall impression:
I’d recommend this place, I’d go back, maybe for dinner or drinks. I’m sure this place has a different feel at night versus brunch.

Headed to Prosperity on a Friday night for dinner and drinks. I hadn’t heard much about Prosperity, so didn’t really have any expectations going in. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be going back.
PROS
–Casual atmosphere. The place reminded me of a home basement with a built in bar. Wasn’t fancy, so no need to dress up.
–Grey Gardens. I was a big fan of this drink. I’ve had similar tasting drinks to this, but I thought the vanilla vodka was a nice touch.
CONS
–Flavorless food. I got the fried chicken dinner as my main course. The chicken was bland, the mac and cheese was bland. The collards were okay, but when the greens are the best thing on a plate of comfort food, that’s not saying much.
–Slow service. I try to take into account a lot of things when I put service in the ‘cons’ list (business of restaurant, number of waiters, etc). The restaurant was not full and at one point, I saw at least 4 people working/​standing behind the bar. It took forever for our appetizer and equally as long for our entrees. My fiancé had to go up to the bar to get another drink for me, because no one was coming by our table. There was just no sense of urgency or hospitality.
–Price. For 3 drinks, an appetizer, and two entrees, our total was $ 73, pre-​tip. For the quality of our food and service, I thought this was outrageous.
BOTTOM LINE
–Everything was underwhelming.

Recently came here on a Saturday for brunch with a very large group of people. It was a top-​notch experience from the beginning.
The restaurant was quick to accommodate everyone and speedy with the drink orders. The menu had a great selection of items as well. Sometimes, when you go to a brunch spot, it’s the same type of stuff, or it’s all really high-​priced. Not here. There was something for everyone and the prices were very reasonable.
Our food amazingly all came out at the same time which, in my book, is a huge success for a kitchen serving a large group plus a whole dining room of other tables. And it was SO GOOD! Seriously, the breakfast was amazing. I had eggs blackstone (I think that was the name), a sort of hollandaise breakfast. Most placed drench the dish in hollandaise. Mine had just the right amount so that I didn’t walk out clutching my chest like I’m about to have a heart attack.
So so good. Don’t skip this place, especially if you’re a Clevelander.

Enjoyed Sunday brunch. Empanadas were very good, Had a bite of the breakfast Mac & cheese which was excellent. Only downside– no kids menu or even something simple like a plain pancake and bacon that would be kid friendly.

This place is what I imagine an old school true neighborhood bar looking and feeling like. Wood bar and wood panelling. Simple tables and simple to no décor. Tables and bar stools don’t turn over that much. That said there was no wait for a table and we sat there chilling for three hours without preventing other people who were coming in from sitting right away. The staff was really friendly and welcoming.
For my first time here I went for brunch. The brunch menu really intrigued me. There were definitely uncommon dishes on the menu. Not just eggs done up in fancy ways, but truly unique foods that I haven’t seen on brunch menus anywhere else. I ordered one of these, the Wake-​up Call Empanadas. This dish was served on an oval plate covered in breakfast potatoes. On top of the potatoes was one decently sized empanada which was stuffed with andouille sausage, peppers, onions, cheddar cheese and egg. On top of the empanada and the potatoes was drilled a jalapeño-​smoked cheddar sauce and tequila-​lime salsa. All the flavors blended really well together. I expected the dish to be hotter/​spicer than it was. It was definitely full of flavor, but not hot.
Bloody Mary’s are good here as well. Those are actually on the spicy side. The menu says the mix is a house recipe.
I definitely want to try this place again and try another uncommon brunch dish — I have my eyes on the Polish Breakfast (Three potato pierogi, kielbaski, herbed scrambled eggs, bacon and smoked cheddar) and the C-​Town Sausage Sandwich.

OMG!!! My husband surprised the heck out of me for the big 6 – 0. Yes, I hate to admit it, but I turned 60 on Dec 28. I still feel and act like I am 30.
Anyway, he had the party at Prosperity because he knows this is my go to place in Tremont. I love that it is casual, not uppity and borders on grunge (in a good way) plus good food. It was perfect for my party.
The staff were great, food was damn near perfect and venue was «my kind of place». Thank you Prosperity for making my 60^th Rock!
The only bummer was a friend who came from Florida had their car broken into while at my party. Not cool Cleveland, we are better than that!

Good food and great cocktails. A great Cleveland-​centric place. The staff is very attentive. If you haven’t tried it yet, you definitely should.

Super disappointed. Love the interior and that there is a wood burning fireplace, but something in there kicked up my allergies and made my eye all inflamed and watery. Service was lacking. For water and then they forgot us. We ordered the haddock which came with cold, looked like they were a slightly better version of Southern Hashbrowns from the Ore-​Ida bag. Cole slaw was a creamy blob. While the haddock was good, it wasn’t worth $ 27.90 for two servings. The coffee was very good, but had to ask for a warm up and it wasn’t hot. Was it $ 3 good coffee, um, No! For these prices, I want to be wowed and I was not.
Cool interior, won’t be back.

Loved this place ! Amazing food, Great stuffed cabbage and Pierogies. Looking forward to trying the rest of their food

I love Prosperity. It’s everything you want in a neighborhood pub. If America hadn’t been ruined by freeways and suburbs, and we still lived in villages and hamlets and towns and terrific *neighborhoods* — like Tremont — establishments like Prosperity would be plentiful. And we would gather there, and talk to each other, about our lives and the world and hire the town is gong to the dogs and the country’s going to hell and we’d meet new friends and we’d fall in love and we’d feel like part of a community.
And we’d play board games and share amazing macaroni and cheese.
But America’s kind of screwed up. Making places like Prosperity even more important. So, go there. You’ll like it. I promise. You’ll want more places like it.

I like this place, but it’s just so awkward when you first walk in. There’s no music playing, it’s so quiet, and the four other people in there that are sitting at the bar + the bartender just look over and stare at you until you sit down. I’m all for hole in the walls, but I wish they would do a little fixing up-​maybe repolish the bar at least or something, to make it feel a little bit cleaner in there.
The beer selection is ok. I did order something they had on some kind of special – it was something like miller and orange juice? It was just too warm for me. Didn’t care for it. I ordered the andouille nachos as my main course and OMG so good. Another time I went there and got them they weren’t as good as I remembered, but they were much better than traditional nachos other places serve you – which is usually half a bag of chips and very little toppings. That’s definitely not what these nachos are like.
I introduced this place to one of my girlfriends that’s a vegetarian. She loved this place because there were so many options for her, which she is normally not used to. I think that definitely give this place an extra plus. I think this is a good place to go with a group of people where you just want to keep things low key.

Don’t get me wrong, I love going to the pretentious restaurants in Tremont — admiring the dishes that look like beautiful works of art and cocktails dreamed up by mixologists all the while listening to people at adjoining tables debate what is required for the perfect brunch or talk about their recent work in France.
But sometimes I want to relax in a more casual atmosphere while still enjoying food that doesn’t insult my senses (OK, that sounded pretentious). And in Tremont, one of those place is Prosperity Social Club.
Jeannene and I were there on Thursday and it really is the perfect spot for a rainy autumn evening. Drinking Old-​Fashioneds (no special ingredients — just the classics) and listening to old men at the bar talk about what OSU needs to do to win it all this year, we settled into a table where I could see a couple of TVs tuned to ESPN and TMC, I think.
As for the food, I think it was actually better than I remember. Our appetizer was the potato pancakes with apple and cranberry chutney ($ 9) and there wasn’t anything fancy to it – three dense pancakes with a thick chutney that came with a bit of a kick to it.
As for the main courses, I had the fish fry ($ 14) which came with several pieces of battered whitefish and thick-​cut sweet potato fries. The batter on the fish was unbelievable light though I probably should have used the salt shaker on the whole dish. Jeannene ordered the pork loin ($ 15) that came wrapped in bacon on a mound of smashed potatoes and spinach. I tried a bite when it arrived and then spent most of the meal figuring out how soon I could get back here to order it myself. The pork was a moist medium well and the thick-​cut bacon was nice and crisp to give the dish some bite and the potatoes were just the thing for a cold rainy autumn evening.
We skipped dessert though the bread pudding sounded perfect for the weather.
This is the type of place where every aspect is 3 stars but when combined it generates a truly 4-​star experience on a non-​pretentious evening.

I’m gonna add this to my Cleveland breakfast/​brunch circuit.
Firstly before I get into the food, I want to talk about the premium top notch service. Every single employee I’ve interacted with has been polite, outgoing, helpful, interesting, and engaging. They were also very on top of your standard server duties too, obviously. Keep it up, we notice it! You can tell they’re a fun crew.
I had some delicious toasted pancakes with herbed scrambled eggs. The pancakes had delicious cranberries and fruit on top, perfect sweet breakfast to pair with my protein.
The OJ I could tell may have been the concentrate stuff, I think theres room for an upgrade there in my opinion. Taste kind of reminds you of growing up and Mom buying the cheap stuff to make ends meet, lol.
My buddy really enjoyed his biscuits and gravy.
All in all, very positive experience!

Had an excellent dinner here last night! We had been here once before and the food was under seasoned, but I’m so glad we gave it another shot. We started out with the pita nachos which were quite tasty and I had the veggie curry for my main dish and it was great. The server was wonderful. Prosperity has a good beer list and a really laid back, cool, divey type of vibe. It’s very Cleveland.

This is a tough review. The place looks somewhat inviting from the outside. When you go in it has character, but it depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a quaint bistro to have brunch and environment is important, this is not the place, unless you sit outside and even then not the best. The interior is loaded for character, but mote for drinking. It was cool inside which was nice but we were in quaint brunch mode so we sat outside in the back.
The food was good. I had biscuits and sausage gravy with potatoes and eggs. Good portion size, filling but not crazy.
We also had hamburger and potatoes, food. And the wake up epenada was good as well.
Its a bit pricey considering the environment but I liked the coffee and it was in a glass mug too.
Worth a try but a little pricey for the environment.
There is a reason Grumpy’s is always packed: good food, a bit cheaper and environment. But eating at the same place is boring so its nice to try new places like this one.
Actual score is around 3.7

Mac and cheese is to die for! You can pick from a variety of ingredients to add in. The patio is filled with colorful chairs and tables and picnic benches. Classic Tremont spot!

Great Cleveland gem located in tremont.
Went here for brunch on a sat around 2. As a bar this place is amazing. As a place to eat, not so much.
Staff was attentive and service was fast.
Food is horrible though. Ordered the sunrise mac and cheese. Bland, looked horrible too. If it was 2 am and I was drunk I might really be into this but it tasted like a TV dinner or a failed potluck crockpot creation from your local church fundraiser.
Considering brunch here? Pass.
Considering the sunrise Mac and cheese? Run!

This is an interesting spot!
My first visit and this is Old School… I love it!
Im gonna come back and try the Weekend Brunch.

Wants to be a speakeasy but it’s really just another bar. Drinks are overpriced but strong! Very crowded. Loved the live music but couldn’t see where it was coming from. After a $ 90 round and twenty minutes, we moved on rather quickly.
Oh and an annoying creepy camera man was everywhere.

Was totally happy with my 1^st time here. Parking was a little hard… Drove around the block a couple times.
Walk in and greeted by bartender guy right away. Told to sit wherever we wanted. It was a Sunday about 5:30. A few tables taken. The bar is upfront, we sat in the back by the bowling machine. Bartender came right away w/​menus. He was super friendly the whole time, answered any and all questions about the food.
For starters, I did get the pear cider since a few people raved about it in here. It was ok. My hubby didn’t like it. I’m pretty sure it’s an acquired taste thing. I feel if I drank it miles often, I could see liking it.
Food lowdown: loaded pierogi app was good. Server said they r made local by the old polish ladies. The only thing is they were deep fried. And I know it’s quicker, but pan fried is still better. They were potato filled w/​cheddar and bacon on top w/​onion straws and bacon aioli. Next time I will try the ricotta filled rogies. The fried chix was spot on (oh heck yes, I taste all food at the table!). Juicy too! The side of Mac n cheese was phenomenal! The sausage patty on a pretzel bun with fried egg and I think cheese and bacon was very good too! A bit spicy, but really good and I don’t usually like sausage. Server said sausage patties made local too. While we waited for food, we played boggle, one of the games they had on a shelf for customers to play… The games were missing the timer, but one in the cell worked out perfect, the server saw we were going to play and asked if we wanted paper and pens and brought them over. We didn’t really know all the rules, but we made our own and it was fun!
It was cozy and comfortable hanging out there and getting some good local food! This place has now been added to our list of go to places!
