We were visiting for a Cleveland game and decided to try the Winking Lizard after the game. Mistake! While we did have a party of 7, we were told that there was one party of 6 ahead of us and although they weren't on a wait, it shouldn't take long to seat us - we were even willing to sit at 2 separate tables. Fast - forward 50 minutes and we were still waiting. Although the management couldn't help how busy the restaurant was, both the staff AND the management could've handled the situation better. I felt like we were trying... read more

Noisy, rude – On an average day, just an average dive bar. At least one evening during the summer, they take over the neighborhood until midnight. Hire a bad band to play trash music on amps at a million decibels. If you work in one the nearby office buildings, forget it. The party reaches into your office and prevents you from doing your job. The bar's management knows. And doesn't care. They want to spill out into the street and too bad if you have a reason being there and have reason not to join their beer party that part... read more

Great for burger-eating bar crowd, disappointing for others – Most dishes at the Lizard include meat, and many items are deep fried. Although food is very well prepared, it's usually loaded with fat, salt and calories. It's hard to find dishes there that are not, yet are still good. There are a variety of salads, but they are nothing special. The few cooked veggies offered are overcooked and soggy with an unpleasant taste from the marinade. Because of the high fat content in most dishes, their take-out food does not travel w... read more

best place before a game I love The winking Lizard franchise, for their food, wings, and drink specials. This is by far one of the best places to go before a browns, Indian's or Cav's game. Get a pitcher, check out the four foot iguana, and hang out with friends.

Best service of all the Lizards We like the food at all the Lizards, but this location is our favorite for the service. One of our friends is a VERY pickey eater and always asks the waitress to add things and remove things from the sandwiches she orders. They get it right every time. Good mixed drinks.

Popular sports-style eatery, decent food, close to games, family friendly but loud – First, let me say that this company operates a really tight ship, making them highly successful in a highly competitive market. It's always crowded at lunch, but table turnover is fast. The building is beautiful with nice street views and in a great location near most big downtown destinations. The menu is mostly sandwiches. Daily soup is almost always good, tho too salty or too thick late in the day. Their pizzas are also quite good and fre... read more
