I'm a fan - I love the atmosphere and the food is usually great. In particular, I had the Irish nachos the last time I was here and they were THE BEST nachos I have ever had (homemade chips, ground beef, corned beef, lots of cheese, etc.).
On this particular occasion I was on a business lunch so I decided to try the Reuben sandwich. For the most part it was good, but the corned beef was a bit fatty which I hate. However, the side of chips and dip made up for the so-so sandwich.
I guess next time I'll have to try something different - or just go back to the Irish nachos!
I went during lunch. It was packed but only had to wait around 5 mins for a booth. I got a mozzarella maddness with veggies sandwich and a side of fries. Delicious! There were lots of not meat options. The service was a little slow. Â It was around 1:30pm when we finished our lunch, not a lot people left but still took a while to get our check. If you go during lunch, just know it will not be quick.
Review Source:The atmosphere here in the Bay Village location is very welcoming and cozy, a bit small but that adds to the charm. Â However, what I don't like about this establishment is that the food is overpriced and the service is underwhelming. Â My friend and I went there during lunch and got the half sandwich and cup of soup "special". Well, it was definitely special! For $9 my friend and I each got a tiny cup of soup and the sandwich only consisted of turkey and cheese. Â For $9 you would think my half sandwich would at least have lettuce, tomato, some condiments or something! Â We had to ask for the waitress, who was very sweet, to bring us some condiments which she did promptly. As we started our tiny yet expensive meal a woman with short hair that I assumed was in management because she was going table to table asking patrons "how is everything?" walked by to ask how everything was. Â In our response we asked her for a couple pickles, and how she responded was confusing, rude, and just unsatisfactory. Â When we asked for a couple pickles she responded that she will get us some but that, "pickles don't come with the lunch special". Â We were shocked because not only was her delivery rude, Â we are already paying $9 for a tiny plain sandwich and small soup and this woman who was clearly in management of some sort was acting like we asked for her first born instead of some tiny pickles! Â I have no idea how this place stays afloat with their high prices and okay food. Â I think the neighborhood it's in really supports it because for prices like that I could be having lunch at high end restaurant. In my opinion the bar next door, The Ironwood, has just as good food but the prices and service are far better.
Review Source:I used to love the Moosehead... I will say though that my last visit was less than stellar and I left very disappointed wondering what had happened to one of my favorite little places. Â
The menu has changed, the service has gotten slower (and it was always kind of slow before), and the overall experience was just meh. Â Are the chips and dip still great, yes... THANK GOD for that!
I love the location and atmosphere of Moosehead, and the food was ok, definitely your average bar food with some healthy alternatives thrown in, but I really can't figure out how they justify the prices. Right next door is Ironwood and the food is as good if not better, but the prices are way better there. At Moosehead I paid $8 for a glass of wine that the bottle costs $13. That's just too much for a bar/restaurant on Dover. Kind of ruined the evening. Still a cute back patio.
I also had a server who was nice, but  I asked what was good and he named a few things that were his favorites and then I found out later it was his first day. I would have preferred he just be honest and say he hadn't had everything and didn't know what everyone orders there. I'll go back, but probably not on purpose.
Moosehead has succeeded for years with pretty standard and unremarkable bar food complemented by a decent beer list. It's a friendly and clean place with a nice atmosphere, but not one you'd go out of your way to visit. For that reason, it had been a while since I'd been. I remember pretty good service here in general, but if my last visit was my first, there would be a danger of the dreaded one-star review. They were understaffed, and nobody dining there was getting decent service. That included me, and I arrived hungry and thirsty on my bike. Slaking my thirst might have been easier with a divining rod. Hyperbole aside, it took no less than 10 minutes to be acknowledged, another 10 to receive a beer, and almost 30 before I was presented with the water I requested on arrival. The menu has something for everyone, which is often not as good as it sounds. The wheelhouse of the kitchen is bar food, and I dared to go vegetarian, with mediocre results (hummus should not be able to double as paste). Good thing for Moosehead that it has lots of regulars. I won't be one.
Review Source:This place is so cute and cozy. I really wanted to like it, but I found the food boring. I so love that they serve house made potato chips, but they just come out in a big lump instead of individual crispy chips. I think this is a great place for families to bring picky kids who only like bland foods, but I just like a little more to my food.
Review Source:This was one of the first restaurants I went to when I first moved here and continue to go back. If you go for lunch, get there before noon because it will fill up fast when the patio isn't open. I've always had good food here -- fish sandwiches, french dip, hummus, soups, homemade potato chips. You can't go wrong.
Review Source:I always forget about the Moosehead, but I have been here a number of times. Â It used to be Herbs when I was growing up. Â
They have great salads, sandwiches, and Homemade Potato Chips w/ homemade chip dip. Â You don't see that very often, but its good stuff. Â
The moosehead is great place to grab lunch or have a few beers after work. Â
Get there early because this place is packed 24/7.
A typical Bar and Grill but with limited seating. It only seats 56 people so its really small but thats what gave it its charm. I went during lunch and I had the triple decker club and what can i say, it was a club.......I think if I would have been around during happy hour i would have gone back. Cant wait to come back the next time im in Westlake
Review Source:Do I miss Herb's Tavern that used to sit in this spot? Â Absolutely, however the Moose has been on the loose for many years and it is a great little restaurant. Â I am not sure I would hang out here at the bar any given weekend night because it is rather small, but as a dining option the Moose is a nice place to come. Â
The inside has that rustic lodge feel to it. Â However it is on the small side, but the food portions are nothing but small. Â Big stuffed sandwiches, and a huge menu with some of the best burgers around. Â The prices are a little on the high side for standard tavern eats, parking can be a challenge and service is hit or miss at times so that is the reason for the 3 star rating. Â Given the choice of the Ironwood next door or the Moose I would pick this place every time unless there was a long wait.
This is one of my two must visit restaurants in Cleavland (the other being Salmon Dave's). A rare 5 stars. Try the Chicken Philly, and their fries are the best!
Perch is always good, (OK, the grouper fingers were the only questionable thing I've ever had).
On this week's visit I took someone who had not been to Cleveland before and we sat on the patio, perfect evening, and exactly what we were looking for.
Needless to say, I'll be back again!
Great beers and awesome place. This building was an old fire house in Olmsted Falls, Ohio and is in a gorgeous part of town with a lot of nice local things to see.
The fish and chips rock anytime of year. And if you're there over Xmas, get a Christmas Ale with cinnamon and sugar on the rim.
Growing up in Bay, I went to this neighborhood restaurant for YEARS with my parents. Â The food is high quality, with up-scale pub fare on the menu. Â In my opinion, their burgers are some of the best around. Â Other than that, the menu has a bunch of seafood options including fresh fish from Lake Erie. Their sweet potato fries are delicious as well. I've never had a bad experience here.
Occasionally the wait times can be a litle bit excessive, since they don't have many tables...but hey, what can you do? Â Its worth the wait!
The Moosehead Salon holds a place very close to my heart. Â It's my go to place if there's nothing else to do or if I just want to get out of the house. Â The place itself is small, there might be a wait and the food takes a pretty long time to come out. Â
Now that that's all out of the way we can get to the important stuff. Â The turkey burger. Â Wow. Â I've had plenty of turkey burgers and they usually come out dry and bland. Â Their turkey burgers come with a cranberry mayo AND another delicious sauce. Â They're always juicy and fantastic. Â The same goes with their other sandwiches. Â From a chicken sandwich with a breaded mozzarella patty or the moosini with french fries and homemade slaw, always good. Â They all come with their crisp homemade chips and dip.
They always have unique beers on tap but their real gem is their root beers. I love root beer and they have several delicious varieties.
Just had dinner here with a business colleague. They had some nice beers on tap and served up some good wings. I liked their french onion soup and they had a unique fajita salad (that I had with their steak). The dressing was great. The service was a tad slow, but it didn't bother us as we had a lot to chat about. I'd go back, there were many items on the menu (which is huge) that sounded really good.
Review Source:Everything about Moosehead is great! Over the past few years they have added more outdoor seating which is great for the summer time. The menu is great from salads to sandwhiches you cannot go wrong! If you have room at the end of the night...the fried ice cream is delicious as well!
I don't believe they take reservations but wait and have a drink at the bar--or even eat there. It is worth the wait.
The owner is not the friendliest but don't let that bother you! The food and atmosphere is great. It is hard to find good restaurants with outdoor seating... and Moosehead is a great place to go!
Recommended to me by my realtor, I have been back many times and have taken out of town visitors as well. They are always crowded and we have spent 30 minutes at the bar a few times (not a bad place to be). Guinness on tap, but this is Cleveland after all.
The menu is kind of neat and all the items are exceptionally good. Their homemade potato chips are excellent and come with most sandwiches. We've been there for many a light meal and never come away disappointed. The place could easily be expanded but they like it just the way it is. One of my favorite bars in the area. Always a good conversation at the bar.
Be careful when you leave - if you make a left and go over the tracks, you are in Bay Village. The town is dry and the police have been known to sit in the parking lot of the shopping center just past the tracks. You are much better of going out the other way, towards Detroit Road.
