Love the live music on the weekend. The crowd is usually pretty cool. But I'm typically not a big fan of chain restaurants/bars. This is no exception. The boneless wings I ordered were not good. They were extremely salty. The beer selection is decent. They have a ton of tvs with sports playing. The wait staff have always been good to me. I will return but only because of the live music.
Review Source:I have been to this location many times over the years. Â Recently, however, the quality of the food and the service have deteriorated noticeably. Â In February, I went mid-month and had a half slab of ribs, one of their 'signature' dishes. Â They were so tough I had to send them back. Â The replacement ribs were not much better. Â I was very disappointed. Â
In late February I decided to stop in again. Â This time I avoided the ribs but instead ordered the fish and chips, one of their 'comfort foods'. Â Big mistake. Â The fish was undercooked and oil soaked. Â The fries were also undercooked. Â I suspect their oil was not enough. Â When I complained, the waiter said he noticed they didn't looked like they were cooked properly when he brought them out. Â Really? Â And yet he served them. Â Another disappointing meal. Â
On the first occasion there was no one at the front desk. Â The sign said to see the bartender to be seated. Â Guess what? Â No bartender to be found. Â The second visit, no one was at the front desk but someone came up to me and simply said "Yes?" as though she didn't know why I was there.
Typical suburban theme bar. It's not horrible but it's not good either.
The food is nothing special but the service isn't adequate for the volume of customers they have. In a place where beer is the primary focus, you would expect that they would keep it flowing. I had to wait 20-30 minutes for another beer on a couple of different occasions. Many times, they walked past empty glasses without noticing or asking about another drink.
One more note. The girly drink menus appear to be different. That led to a bit of confusion in our group since some people ordered a drink that others didn't realize existed. Have the ladies compare the menus before ordering.
In short, if you're looking for an experience like TGI Friday's or Chili's but want to be more supportive of local businesses, this is a good choice.
I've been here many times since 2003. Â I find the food a decent value, beer selection is excellent (with good happy hour prices), and the service is usually at least decent, often better. Â Some staff recognize my family, which probably helps. Â I did notice they added something on the menu about moving people along after eating. Â That rubs me the wrong way, but maybe it's to chase off people sitting 5 hours with chips and Coke refills or something.
Review Source:Im rating this strictly on yesterdays trip to Boneryard. Â I have been to this location, the Mayfield location also. Â Back in the day we used to hit up the Boneryard downtown all the time. Â 2.00 drafts for happy hour? Â Hell yeah.. Â They discount ALL the drafts, not like Prosperity, Tap House, South Side, etc. that only discount some beers. Â Seems like I always want the one beer that is NOT on special. Â Hey, I work for a livin so happy hour prices make my black ass smile! Â This particular trip they had happy hr till 9pm AND .49 boneless wangs! Â Server was super cute and super fast, despite being run all over by the Buffy and Thad types of early 30, professional types with 2.2 young kids that live in the area. Â Food was pretty good, for a chain restaurant. Â With the deals they run, it is worth it for an OK dinner and several good beers!
Review Source:I've been here a number of times and I've never been impressed. Today's experience was so blah that I was moved to write a review. I was with a kiddo who got the pasta with a side of fruit. She got fruit cocktail. Seriously? Ugh. I got a veggie burger. I'm not a vegetarian but I LOVE veggie burgers. This one compared to the frozen veggie burger patties you get at the grocery store. It wasn't pleasant...
Review Source:If you've been to one Boneyard, you've been to them all. Â This place totally fits that bill when it comes to drinks and the crowd but they get bonus points for their sweet tiered seating which makes for a pretty nice sports viewing set-up. Â Other than that, it's just the same old Boneyard.
Review Source:When I read that this restaurant had a 'whimsical' atmosphere, I had to try it. I like whimsy as much as you do. If we went there together we might laugh and sing and dance and be merry and whimsical together. We would have such fun that when retelling our exploits we'd again fall into laughing and merriment and oh wouldn't it be a laugh? Such fun!
Well, dear me, I saw fake corpses attached to the walls throughout this bar and I did not feel merry. I escaped to the rest room and micturated with a deepening sorrow for those lost souls dangling above the peanut bin in the waiting room. Such things grind on me because I might die some day and if some Boneyard hard-on hung my soulless self in a sports bar in Broadview Heights it might make me not want to sing and dance. It set my teeth on edge.
I ordered a Bloody Mary doubled up on the vodka and waited for it to hit me in the face like a cudgel from hell and it did. They don't skimp on the hooch in this rat hole. These Broadview Heights bastards charge an arm and a leg though. So what? You can worry about the Visa bill next month. I ordered another rot-gut drink; hold the ice, and some ribs. What the hell, bring a dozen hot wings too. Extra hot sauce. I watched those dicks from Miami play basketball on one of a dozen massive TV screens and I cursed a young child whose crayon rolled under my booth. He cried. I spat a gob of tomato vodka spittle at him. He fled. A truce of sorts.
The ribs tasted a little rawish which works well with the death/boneyard motif. Okay, I get it, blood on the bone in the boneyard. No complaints. The wings fought back a little but they went down okay. I dug the pinkish meat out between the black bones and admired the pile of mess I had made on the table next to the empty refuse bowl. I pocketed the wipes and extra napkins and wiped my filthy hands on the fake leather bench. In my virulent state I tipped well anyway since I could leave and they couldn't.
On my way out, I noticed a whimsical sign near the door and my spirit broke. The door opened out toward North Royalton and it was like the sun was shining and each cloud was a happy dollop of whipped cream dancing across the sky like a fun sundae of funny shapes of delight.
I laughed and laughed!
This was not a particularly pleasant dining experience. It is a chain, so I didn't exactly have high hopes. But the service is ultimately what killed it. And the food wasn't all that good either.
The decor makes it seem like it could be a fun place. It definitely feels like a chain, but it has funny signs and whatnot. I sat at the bar area, which was a nice space.
The bartender was not friendly at all and it took awhile before she even came over to take my drink order. She also had little knowledge of what beers they had. The beer offerings were above average and they had way more offerings than a typical chain place. I wanted to drink "local" and inquired about what Great Lakes beers were on tap. She recited the names of them, but was unable to tell me what they were (ale, lager, IPA, etc.)
After receiving my beer, she never asked if I wanted to see a menu or anything. About 15 minutes after helping myself to a menu, she noticed the menu in front of me and finally asked if I wanted anything to eat. I ordered a 6-piece wing. They had a good variety of sauces to choose from (garlic, buffalo ranch, cajun, etc.) and categorized them into three levels (essentially, mild, medium, and hot levels). I opted for buffalo hot with blue cheese.
When the wings arrived, they appeared to be of a decent size and meatiness. However, once I started digging in, there was a lot of dark meat and they were undercooked. And, to top it all off, the wing sauce was completely lacking. I'm convinced they must have given me mild instead of hot (despite the receipt saying hot). There was absolutely no heat. You could barely even taste the sauce. And the blue cheese was just bleh.
Overall, a rather disappointing service and food experience.
Far be it from me to be critical of another Yelper (oh, no, watch me), but Angry B hates Lolita and loves The Boneyard? Good grief, do WE occupy different zones of the food planet.
I live minutes from here, tried it six times and decided it would be better eating crackers than spending one more penny at this place.
Look, if you're under 30, like to drink, don't care that much about the quality of food or service, you'll think it's just deeee-liteful. Â If, however, you don't fit into that category, please don't waste your time and money. It's slop.
I did NOT want to like this place. In fact i went with the intent purpose of hating it and prepared to write a scathing review. So it is with great displeasure and reluctance that i admit i was wrong.
I had a Chicken Pesto sandwich that was fantastic. The patio was amazing and although open and airy, our table felt private and not in a crowd. Its a whimsical atmosphere and the staff is really friendly. If you sit on the patio you wont have to worry about having too much to drink.. at least if you have our waitress. I cant wait to try it again so that perhaps i will get something i hate and then be able to redeem my initial feelings on this place.
Damn i wanted to hate this place. Curse you!
I still remain a decently satisfied customer of the Bone Yard in Broadview Heights. I went last night and my friends and I received great service. Â For the first time, I tried their pizza - the dish was a little small (I finished it completely, rare for me) but the pizza itself was delicious! Â The sangria was good enough that I ordered two of them, and was a perfect accompaniment to a summer evening on a patio with twinkle lights.
Review Source:Boneyard is not very good. The ribs are underdone, the wings are so-so and the burgers are food-grade frozen patties from some distributor. There's nothing here that indicates that they care at all about differentiating their place from anywhere else except the giant wall of TVs which would be cool during March Madness (maybe) and the fake skeletons hanging here and there. I get invited to this place maybe once a year and I say, 'why not?' and it's never as good as Winking Lizard which isn't great either. At least the Lizard has eight thousand beers to choose from. The Lizard is always more crowded though.
Boneyard will not impress you.
This is really a 3.5 (stupid yelp. Â Give me shades of grey!) Â
I like the setup. Â Stadium kind of with large tvs. Â I will give them credit for a vast beer selection. Â Of course they are out of the one I want, but a lot to choose from. Â
I had the BBQ Chicken pizza. Â I add jalapenos. Â I am not sure where they get their jalos from, but they must be fed with the piss of the devil (not in your groceries freezer section). Â These jalos where 5X hotter than normal jalos.
I will be back to make sure its not a fluke.
Ok prices on the food also. Â Devil piss pizza (patent it, please report any use or abuse of my patent to devil piss pizza inc. formerly Mephostopheles Micturition Meat packing) Â That is a long way for a devil alliteration joke.
In the past when we have gone to the Boneyard in Broadview Heights, the food has been tasty but rarely delivered to our table hot. But things have changed! On week ago Saturday, I ordered the chicken and rib combo with steamed vegetables and it arrived piping hot and delicious! My husband ordered the Asian chicken and it too was hot and delicious. Last Tuesday my daughter and I went in for a quick bite and I had their chili which was great and she ordered the pasta marinara with a few meatballs and she said "Mom, this is as good as any Italian restaurant and it really was. The sauce was excellent but did not drown the pasta. We went back on Saturday night for one of my fave dishes..the chicken appetizer with cold thai noodles. I don't know what's in these noodles but they are so good. If you haven't been to the Boneyard in a while, give it another try. I think you'll like it!
Review Source:Love the food here. The server was extremely friendly and nice. Our orders came out almost immediately and were perfectly done. Their chicken sandwiches are so amazingly juicy and flavorful. I love the cold Thai noodles and could almost lick the bowl afterward.
Inside has a great "bone" theme, a wall of TVs, and a nice patio. It's just a little small, especially compared to the Mayfield Heights location and is missing the giant room of video games. I think the bar area is nicer and actually has some windows so it feels a bit warmer than Mayfield's.
Honestly, if I only had one restaurant to visit in Cleveland, this would be it.
I have been to the Boneyard many, many times over the past couple years. Â I may be a bit biased because I live very close, but the Boneyard has become my "go to place" when I want a reasonably priced, good meal with a sports bar type environment. Â Food is nothing fancy, but for the prices it is great. Â
The best part about the Boneyard are the 4 HUGE projection screen TV's and the stadium style seating that surrounds them. Â If you are looking for a place to catch a big sporting event, this place is it. Â They also have $2 draft "beer of the month" that will range from bud select to Blue Moon, depending on the month. Â Last night it was Molson select light or something...not so great.
Also, I never discovered this until many times of going there, but on the other side of the bar alongside the stage are pool tables, air hockey table and some arcade games (big buck hunter!). Â Although the pool tables are ridiculously overpriced, that does add some allure. Â The air hockey table is GREAT!
I went to the Boneyard Grill in Broadview Heights this past weekend on Saturday around 7:30pm. There was an approximate 1/2 hr wait due to a party of 100 being served so the kitchen was "back logged". I can't say if there is typically that kind of wait on an average weekend customer flow. The hostess was nice and we took a seat at the bar. We quickly spotted a high top that opened up at the bar and settled in for our dinner/drinks. The server greeted us quickly and was very quick to help us. Very friendly as well. We ordered beers and placed our food order. The server returned and told us that she could put our appetizers in but the food order had to wait until the kitchen caught up with this 100 person party. She implied it was a "bad planning" issue on someone's behalf at Boneyard.
Food: We had the appetizers of breaded shrimp, which was a "new" menu item. They made it sound fancy, but when it arrived, the runner called it "popcorn" shrimp. They were plentiful but your basic greasy popcorn shrimp in a battered dough, not breaded. We also ordered the Siam Chicken Skewers over Thai peanut noodles. Average at best. Chicken was a little dry and the noodles had some nice flavor but were drowning in a running mayo type dressing. They were stingy on the tahini. Our main courses, mine grilled steak over "mixed greens", let's just say ICEBERG...call a spade a spade was OK. It would have been much better if they actually used good quality greens. This isn't the 80's anymore. Mixed greens are readily available. My salad also came with a bread stick..similar to the ones you would have at Olive Garden except mine was more like sponge. Just poor quality. Again, this isn't the 80's a decent bread isn't hard to find. My husband ordered the pulled pork and ate everything on his dish BUT the pulled pork. The pork was so "pulled" that is was a glob of a mess.
As we waited a LONG time for our dinner orders, we watched the band of the evening set up, HOOKED ON TONICS. They were so great that we decided to skip our "movie night" and stay and listen to the band. They helped recover the experience a bit.
IF we return to the Boneyard (due to close proximity to our home), I would probably stick with a burger and beer. If you screw up a burger, you shouldn't be making food!
During my stay in Cleveland for Thanksgiving, me and my cousins finally decided to go out on the town for Friday night. We met up with one of my cousins who was getting off work and came here.
First, it reminds me a bit of Hard Rock Cafe as they have 4 large screens for watching sports-so I was thrilled to be plugged back into the sports scene after 2 days away from ESPN.
The service seemed to be pretty good and they kept checking on our group. I went with a Great Lakes Christmas Ale, which wasn't too bad and sampled some of their chips. Â Overall I thought the venue wasn't too bad.
The only reason that I knock it down to 3 stars, is that the servers kicked us out of the dining area at 1am. They wanted to close the dining area and have us move over to the bar area. Â That just didn't seem to jibe well with me, as we had spent $30 on food and now were having to give up our spot. Additionally, the bar was going to close in a hour anyway, so why not just let us hang out at the table area for a little longer?
In suburbia there really isn't much else you can ask for when it comes to a large bar with decent "american" food. Â I have eaten here many times as well as gotten takeout and overall it's pretty good food. Â Sometimes it can get too loud and you have to resort to shouting across your table, but it is a sports bar so you can't complain too much. Â There are huge projector screens showing all the games going on, and a pretty large bar with pool tables. Â Try it out, because honestly there is slim pickings around here when it comes to bars so it's either here or B-dubs.
Review Source:This is an awesome place to watch any game. I saw the CAVS vs. Celtics and was such a fun and energetic atmosphere. The screens in the back are so large that every seat in the house is a good one. As far as food I like the fries the best. Any kinda fry - you name its awesome. The service is excellent. Last time I was there they charged me .65 cents for a side of honey mustard. The waiter would not take tip that I left him because he felt bad about the restaurant policy!!! Where was this place when I was growing up?!?
Review Source:Part of Cleveland's Liquid Living Group, a company that puts out trendy restaurants in downtown Cleveland and surrounding suburbs. Â On weekends and during big games it is hard to find a seat around the bar. Â They have a nice selection of beers on tap. Â I love that they offer Cider Ale on tap, Woodchuck and the seasonal Wyder's Peach.
