I no longer live near Aces, but try to stop when I'm in the area. Figures...I moved away when they expanded their beer selection. Â (Geez... beer selection is seriously a theme with me!)
I digress...good menu. I've never been unhappy with any selection. Their pizzas are really great. Salads are generous, and have very fresh toppings. Â The wings are very good, and the provolone wheel is amazing. Â Cardiologists recommend it so they can buy bigger boats. Â
I don't really get the gaming machines recently added... I don't like those. Â Eh.. something for everyone I guess. Â
Outdoor patio is heated, and quite nice, considering it faces a busy Lorain Ave. Â
Hosteses leave a bit to be desired. Â But hey... you only have to deal with them a few minutes. Â Waitresses are usually pleasant. Â
The food is just that good. Â Enjoy. Â :) Â Have a pizza.
We usually go to another local spot to watch sports, but headed to Ace's to "celebrate" the beginning of March Madness. The server, Hailey, was great. She was attentive and thorough. We hadn't had their wings, so she brought out the sauce for us to try before we ordered. The boneless wings were average, and the sauce was good. The gyro I ordered was good, and my hubby liked his pizza. The fries left something to be desired. The music wasn't too loud, and my hubby liked the smoking "tent." We will definitely add it to our list of local establishments to frequent.
Review Source:This place is good but the bartenders vary. The added some video slots in their smoking tent...yuck. Â Food is good, though, some of the best bar food I've ever had. Â I wish they'd fix their crappy sound system because they have live bands frequently and it makes everyone sound distorted. Â
Good: pizza, burgers, giant spuds
Mediocre: chicken fingers, fries
Crap shoot: any mixed drink
Disgusting: smoking "tent"
I've been to Aces on many occasions,I find that it's a good bar with an above average menu, and service that's truly hit or miss.
There's other reviews that complain about the food, but quite honestly, I have yet to find an establishment in the area that is even on par or exceeds the quality of Aces food offerings (for a bar).
I like their laid back atmosphere, lottery kiosks and outdoor bar that segregates the smokers.
Quick, kind service. Â A little loud, but it's a bar, so nothing out of the ordinary...
BUT HOLY &*^% HAVE YOU SEEN THE BAKED POTATO???
Biggest potato I have ever seen in my entire life. Â I think it weighed more than my first child - it might weigh more than all of them combined. Â I didn't even order it (my awesome Mom did), and I sat there the entire time staring at her potato wondering if one of these potatos could end world hunger.
Good burger too - but I have to tell you i'm a sucker for a burger with jalapenos, so it could have been horrible and I still would have loved it.
Good beer selection, and the pizza that the people at the next table bought looked and smelled good.
I've been to Ace's a number of times and I've always wanted to really like this place, but it just never happens. Â When they first opened it was a very welcoming spot and the food was good. Â Over the course of the last few years I think everyone on the staff: Â waitresses, cooks, hostesses, and bartenders have just gotten lazy. Â They've now added an "internet cafe" which brings in more loud obnoxious people. Â
On my last and final visit the service was slow, we waited 10-15 minutes for someone to come to our table and take a drink order. Â From that point forward service was average, but the food was horrible. Â I had ordered wings and they were very clearly fried and dumped from the fryer to the sauce bowl without draining the grease. Â They were then thrown into the basket for serving with the grease. Â When the waitress asked how the wings were, I told her they were swimming in grease and not very good. Â She simply apologized and made no offer to get a new order or anything. Â We had also ordered cheese fries, but they were never brought to the table; they did however show up on the bill. Â That was corrected.
The place is LOUD as they fill it with loud music. Â The place is typical, nothing special, and honestly I doubt I would return. Â For an extra 10 minute drive, I'll go to Fatheads.
Easy access on Lorain Road btw 480 and Turnpike, Aces has some good stuff going for them. The food is very tasty, with decent wings, good sandwiches and surprisingly great pizza. Their "Venetian" Pizza is a white garlic sauce and olive oil with 4 cheeses, sausage, peppers and onions. Different, but in a great way. They have nice patio and live bands most weekends. The service is typical of a bar- as it gets more crowded you will see your waitress less and less. Pretty good beer selection including Yuengling and Christmas Ale on tap. Great people watching too, as there are 50 somethings flirting next to 20 somethings.
Review Source:We ordered carry out once and they got the order wrong. Â Unfortunatly
I didn't catch the mistake until I got home. Drove back out and no one even apologized. Â They acted like it was my fault. Â I've been there other times and eaten there, at the bar the service was fine. Â Kind of a strange place. Â You'll find bar flies dressed to the nines on the prowl, rednecks, families, trailer trash, etc. Â It's like the bar Toby Keith sings about in "I love this bar!"
Not a place I frequent, but a good place for people watching on a Saturday night.
I live fairly close to Ace's, so when I want to drink near home, I figured this would be a good spot to hangout at. WRONG. I've to Ace's once or twice before this past weekend and it was just okay. But this time was pretty bad.
We sat at a table by the bar and no one served us so we had to keep going back up to the bar to get drinks. Finally after about an hour we stopped someone and asked for a menu. We ordered the fried ravioli, which was bland and in a mess of sauce and they got the wings (which apparently they really liked--so maybe I would give 2.5 stars for that)
Anyways, the amount of shady and trashy people made this bar get two stars solely for our wild entertainment, I mean my mom was in tears. Some people realllly should not get drunk and dance in public...But hey, if you're looking for some good, free entertainment, you probably will find it at Ace's!
Aces has moderately "glammed" up the otherwise drab North Ridgeville area which in itself is a feat. Â Located near I80/480 Aces is easy to get to, or from (in case you need a speedy get-a-way from a 40something in his baseball pants who's been chugging beers since 6pm).
HUGE serving sizes, (football sized loaded baked potatoes anyone?), take their menu items up a notch and the lobster claw machine (you catch it they cook it) will have you feeling like a kid again. Â During the day this place is perfectly acceptable for family and at night they offer live music and more to keep you entertained.
A typical sports bar with many plasma tvs to watch.  The bar is very large and reminds more you of a diner than bar.  Darts and  game room for the kiddies.  It seems like a good place to kill time.
Staff is ok. Â Average select of draft beer, and average beer prices. Â I recommend the pizza it is slightly above average (very slightly). Â
Only draw back is the very high placement of the tvs. Â Not exaggerating, easily 12 feet off the ground.
