Been here many times. Â Service is always bad. Â Takes forever to get anything. Â They are nice, just like to talk in the back were you can see them and never bring you water. Â Wings, onion rings, burgers and soup are all great. Â Not a very big place and can fill up fast during a game.
Review Source:A good place to go when you just want a sports bar and some bar grub close to Tremont. Â They have daily food and beer specials, and actually a pretty great menu for bar food. Â I'm always happy with my meals here, even though I get wings most of the time. Â
The service has always been good, even as an annoying party of 8 for the superbowl. Â There were a couple issues with the drafts lacking any carbonation, but it was solved effortlessly. Â
I like this hidden little sports bar.
Most bars will honor the designated driver. Â I'm not asking for a badge, or a key to the city, but give me some respect. Â Even if i'm just drinking water or pop, I will tip you well if you deserve it. Â You shouldn't have to ask for a water refill, only I did. Â 3 times......
I was with 4 guys, who were ordering beers by the bucket-full. Â I was PARCHED. Â I asked for a refill 3 times. Â She blantantly ignored me. Â Every time a beer was empty she made eye contact with the guys, gave them a refill and ignored my lonesome cup of melted ice that I had nursed to depletion. I was near climbing over the bar and getting it myself. Â And then spraying off her attitude with the drink hose.
After a few more incidents of waitress abuse, I was near yelling at this tart. Â I was polite, smiling, cheerful, and didn't deserve that kind of treatment. Â I never waivered in my respect. Â Maybe her cat broke up with her that night, I have no idea what was going on. Â I didn't care. Â GIVE ME WATER!!
I don't think the 25 cent tip even bothered her. Â Even after all of that, my party fought with me over disrespecting her by leaving the gum ball machine change I left (because they got what they needed whenever they needed it). Â I get better service from my kitchen sink.
Cleats is no rock star, but to me, it's been consistent, convenient, and usually satisfies my urge for a decent meal and a few libations. Even though I guess they are known for wings, I don't tend to order those. I guess I'm never in the mood. I've tried many things on the menu though (give me the pretzel sticks with cheese sauce any day of the week). Nothing really wows me, but I'm definitely never disappointed with my meal. They give you a lot of chips or fries, so all you fry fans should be pleased. The bartenders and servers are nice and there were never any problems in my stops there. Some of the prices seem off at times, like $7 for a tall xmas ale this past season. I'm no Ebeneezer Scrooge, but that's a little too steep. The place tends to be packed randomly and then dead at other times. If you're near the steelyard and looking for a quick bite, give this place a try.
Review Source:Holed up in a conference room in Cleveland for the past month (don't you wish you had my job?) I'm now a self-declared expert on all places within 30 miles that will deliver food to our downtown office.
That said, I now officially refuse to eat food that arrives from Cleats Club.
As this was delivery, I cannot comment on locale or decor, but the food is dismal. We don't have a wealth of choices when it comes to delivery food, so we've had Cleats three times.
The first time, I had a salad. Approximately 80% of said salad was the white spiny-part of iceberg lettuce that I generally chuck in the trash. Bleh. Even the diced tomatoes looked embarrassed to be resting upon a bed of such unappetizing lettuce.
Second time around... I had another salad (I'm trying to be healthy, yo!) and I suppose Cleats helped that goal as I threw it away, again.
Third strike: Buffalo chicken strips. OK, I ditched the diet and went with something I though most "bar & grille" places could do with ease. False. Five strips of breaded chicken with buffalo sauce splashed randomly across the top. The "grilled vegetables" on the side were primarily broccoli stems. Why are you constantly trying to feed me refuse, Cleats??
After the aforementioned buffalo chicken affront, I went back into our conference room and wrote on the white-erase board (in big letters) "NO MORE FOOD FROM CLEATS OR I WILL GO ON A HUNGER STRIKE!"
Hunger. Strike.
Just like Gandhi.
I've been there 3-4 times to watch the cavs playoff games since my last review.
The service was fine except on one occasion, on a very slow Friday night, my friends and I watched as our bucket of beers [$8 for 4 domestics] sat at the bar, unattended for 5 minutes, when our server [a guy, no glasses] finally returned with them. They now have summer shanty on tap.
Mostly this is your typical sports bar place with bar food. Â The wings are awesome and the drinks are fairly priced. Â My friends and I are in love with the one waitress here who treats us like one of her best friends. Â We make sure to check in here at least twice a month if not for the great wings, to check in with our favorite waitress, Geneka.
