Great Lakes Brewing Co.

Fast friendly service. This is my favorite restaurant in the CLE airport. It is comfortable, not just wooden chairs and flimsy tables, this is a legit bar/restaurant with a full menu.

The selection of beer is nice, light to dark for all palettes.

When I have had to fly into or through CLE, I always stop here. The food is very good and the portions are large enough to share. The burgers have always been prepared "medium" as I requested. 2 out of 2 is good for me. The fact they have a burger on a pretzel bun, a GOOD pretzel bun would have me coming back. The pretzel bun they use is a little sweet and it is moist and fresh.

The caesar salad was cool, crisp and fresh and if you like cheese...you will LOVE theirs.

The service is fast, so if you are connecting and have at least an hour, don't worry, they will get you through without you feeling like you are being rushed or late. I never found myself craning my neck looking for the server, they are active and visible and again, very friendly!

The Cleveland airport is small enough so that if you are flying out of Terminal A and you have an hour plus, you can walk 10 minutes over to Terminal C and enjoy a drink at Great Lakes Brewing.  Thank goodness!  
I love that they have so many of their beers on draft at the airport.  
We ordered a black bean burger and a chicken Caesar wrap as well.  They present the food beautifully - I was surprised at how nice the plating was.  The burger met my needs - I was a little disappointed with the fries - they were not fresh and lacked the seasoning that I Ioved at the GL on Market.
Service was good.
Definitely check out Great Lakes at the airport.

Well on a long layover on Christmas day so I thought why not pop in for a burger and a brew.

Couldn't decide on the brew so I chickened out and had a soda instead.  I did get a burger and onion rings.

Place is a little tight with all the folks and their multiple carry on bags and strollers etc.  But the staff is friendly and seems to be well versed in dodging and jinking around luggage that doesn't always seem to stay in place.

Food is good.  I had the Old World Burger.  Came out hot and juicy.  Thankfully I missed getting the front of my sweatshirt with the juices that seemed to be dribbling out of everywhere.  Burger had BBQ sauce made with one of their home brews.  it was good and added a nice flavor twist to what normally passes for BBQ sauce up here.  My burger also had bacon, two mini onion rings and a thick slice of cheddar cheese holding it all together all on a roll for a bun.  Overall really a good burger.  They hit the cooking temp right on for my order.

Onion Rings were really good.  Not too much batter but nicely covered and with a nice flavor.  Not sure if they use some of their home brew in the batter or not but it was very flavorful.

Wish I could transplant this place to back home.  It is not very convenient to visit this establishment for the rings and burgers unless I am traveling somewhere.
