    The wife had lunch here with coworkers so we decided to have dinner... I had the Cuban sandwich it was excellent .... The only drawback was it was kind of loud(big party and they were all yelling over each other)... I will go back...

    This was my first and last visit here. The place wouldn't be half bad if the manager wasn't so rude. My friends and I decided to meet at 6:00 but I got there about 5 minutes early. There were plenty Of tables available and the hostess seated me right away, but as I sat down, she asked how much longer the rest of my party would be. I told her just a few minutes and she responded, "I shouldn't have sat you." I offered to wait inside but she said it was ok. At about 5 minutes after 6 the rest of my party still hadn't arrived (traffic), a manager came over and asked me when the rest of my party would be arriving. I told her any minute they're stuck in traffic. She then proceeds to tell me that I shouldn't have been seated because they don't want people sitting around for hours waiting on other guests when others wait for tables. I thought this was very rude of her to say to a paying customer. I actually said, "I'm sorry. Would you like me to leave?" At the thought of losing business (party of 5 +2 to go orders, drinks and appetizers = $200 check not including tips) she declined but I found it very unprofessional and it made the rest of the meal awkward and we (my guests did arrive about 2 minutes later) felt unwelcome for the rest of the meal. I've read reviews on here which also complained about the managers being rude. Such a shame because the location is great, the patio is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and the food was excellent. A few other negatives worth pointing out: 1. The bathroom was out of TP and I notified someone. 30 minutes later I heard someone else complaining because the bathroom still didn't have any TP. Gross. 2. The service was a little slow but I can overlook that - especially when you're in good company. A cannot however overlook blatant rudeness, especially from a manager. Don't think I'll be going back.

    This place has a great location with a cute patio overlooking the creek. I had the Sicilian calamari appetizer, a huge portion arrived in a giant soup bowl. It was awesome. Also tried the salmon. It had a delicious charred edge and was cooked perfectly. The only fault was the BBQ chicken had an overpowering wood smoke taste. We sat in the bar area and the bartender worked her butt off tending bar and waiting tables inside and outside as well.

    Went back this weekend for dinner. This was my second visit, and both times the service has been slow. This time was even worse. Again, our server neglected to bring our bread. It took him 15 minutes to bring out one water when we had asked for two. They still haven't corrected the discrepencies on the menu. Also, I ordered an alcohol-free mojito and was charged full price for it. I'll probably still be back for the amazing patio, but with lowered expectations. It's such a shame because I really want to love this place. The food is good enough, and the overall experience isn't terrible, but they keep messing up on all the stuff that should be easy to get right!

    Met a friend there last night to discuss an event we are planning. Picked this restaurant because it was centrally located to both of our offices. So glad we did. We were the only ones there, but were made to feel very welcome. The restaurant has a great, homey atmosphere. Ordered the hummis appetizer and a grilled chicken breast. It was absolutely awesome! Can't wait to go back -- summer would be great sitting on their outdoor patio next to Tinker's Creek. Nice place, great & friendly service!

    Went with a larger party after a great experience at the Big Red Barn Theater two minutes down the road. Service was sort of odd -- they have youngish kids taking drink orders, which seems strange. Our server spilled most of our drinks by attempting to hand them down the table, giving my 9-year-old about 3 sips worth of a mojito on his menu without a word of apology. Service overall was sort of up-and-down -- refills took awhile, certain requests took forever (ketchup, extra dressing, more napkins). Food was pretty decent, nothing special or particularly innovative but not bad. The building is comfortable and laid back, and the back patio looked beautiful. Nice for an in-the-area meal but I wouldn't drive there for dinner if I didn't live close by.

    I was waiting on my husband to finish his bike ride so I stopped in here for a few glasses of wine and an appetizer at the bar. They had good bar specials and the wine selection was ok. I ordered my husband the mahi mahi sandwich to go which he loved! I would like to come back in the summer and check out what looks like a really cool patio.

    Love the patio on nice summer evenings. It's overpriced, but I think it's worth it to hang there once in a while. I've had decent success with the food, it's not that kind of meal that takes your breath away and makes you want to abandon how you look and just be obese, but it's good. I wish the food was a little cheaper and a little better, that'd be enough to double the amount I go and could be the difference between 3 and 5 stars. Just too much reliance on how cool the location is.

    The historic building is great and it is nestled between a bunch of small cities on the outskirts of Cleveland; however, the restaurant part fails. Expensive food choices litter a very limited menu. The service staff is unfriendly and the drinks are unreasonably expensive. Avoid this place if you can!

    This place makes me sad The location is great. I love the building and the setting. The new menu is also really good. So why am I sad? The staff has been just plain rude to us. I understand having difficult days and all that. However ..... The owner (I think) or maybe the manager and the service staff were incredibly rude and boorish. Not once, not twice, but three of the four times we've gone there. One time we got an unwanted lecture on politics, another we were treated very poorly, a third time we were ignored. So, we won't go back. And I hate to say this. We live nearby and the food is good. But, I won't put up with the treatment any longer.

    This is a hidden gem in - Walton Hills, OH? I've never even heard of that, I thought it was actually in Valley View. Either way, I feel like this place isn't well known but its a nice find. Tucked away in the middle of this woodsy area, it offers delicious food in a neat, historic old building. Their website tells of some of its history, and apparently has one of the oldest records in Ohio for obtaining a liquor license. I don't work too far away from this place, and I haven't been here in a while - I think I may gather some coworkers to check it out again one day soon. They have a patio, which sounds perfect for an after-work happy hour. Nearby is the well-known Tinker's Creek Cemetery. The most "recent" burial dates back to the 1800s. Before even that it is also known for being a mass indian burial site. Creepy! I'd love to go up here sometime and take pictures of the old gravestones.

    Where to start... please know that I try to give a place a chance before I leave a review. When this restaurant first opened they had awful/painfully slow service with mediocre food, however the location and view were wonderful. I booked 2 department holidays parties there because of the charm, however the service was just too slow to book it again for any type of event. When I found out that new management came in and revamped the food I was excited to go back again. The food was better (at first) and the service was a bit faster but not by much. Over the past 6 months they have just gone straight downhill... I had a cocktail served to me with a fly frozen in the cube, GROSS! Please note that I never asked for a complimentary cocktail or was offered one for the fly. Then a few weeks later we sat outside and were swarmed by gnats so bad we had to move inside. You would think being inside was better but they have a fly problem in there, gnats outside and flies inside...makes me wonder how they keep the kitchen with so many flies. I figured they were by the National Park so maybe that caused the bug issue. My last straw was the soggy fish tacos, I went for lunch and had fish soup as opposed to fish tacos. Every bite I took leaked an abundance of liquid, I finally said something to the server and was told that wasn't normal but she then left the plate on the table to check with the chef. After a bit she came back and offered a dessert... what??? Why am I being offered a dessert when I was served soggy food that I couldn't finish? I politely turned down the dessert and was given my check in full. I never demanded her to remake the food nor did I demand any kind of refund... she offered a dessert because the food was less than satisfactory. If you know the food isn't correct then why are they charging full price for it. Then the owner or manager came over and said it is not the servers decision to credit food, and went on to ask me why I thought it was soggy, in which I referred her to the chef that prepared it. The fact is I come there often enough, I only order that dish and this time it was DISGUSTING, so don't argue just do the right thing (PERIOD). There are many other places to dine at with very nice locations and I look forward to dining at those places in the future.

    Never ordered any food but good drinks and a large dance floor and patio.

    The setting is beautiful - I'll give them that. Five stars for the creek itself. However, if you can't get a table outside by the creek, or if it's a typical Cleveland evening of humidity and/or rain, just don't bother. The menu has pretty limited food options that are not worth the wait, the cost, or the calories.

    What can I say. What was to be a fun evening turned into frustration. Service was slow, the food was boring, and the staff was rude. I will never go back, nor will I recommend Tinkers Creek to friends or family. Very disappointing.

    I ws a fan of the new management, but in the last 6 months something's happened. The staff is still friendly and attentive, but the food just doesn't make it. Had a fish taco, and this wouldn't cut it in SoCal. Fried fish flopped on some some lettuce, in a tortilla not too healthy. Also had a burger which wasn't much better. I hope the food gets back to where it was, because the setting doesn't get much better.

    I remember this place growing up but never had a reason to go. I'm glad I finally had an opportunity to try it out and look forward to trying again. The good: setting is perfect, adjacent to Tinkers Creek, and the patio is perfect on a nice summer evening. So cool. Staff was nice, manager checked in several times, waiter was very patient with our large crowd. Craft beer list is very good. Diverse menu. The bad: food was ok. No one in the party seemed to rave about the food. The ribs were ok (but I am spoiled living in Kansas City - I should have known better). Overall this is a solid 4. I will visit again for the atmosphere alone.

    Solid restaurant with a great beer selection. The customer service from the greeting to the table wait service was good. The selection on the menu is abundant and offers something for everyone. We tried the Memphis nachos as an appetizer for the table. They had pulled pork on them and let me just say, Deilicious! I wasn't very hungry so ended up ordering the chicken wings and they were also flavorful and filling. My friend brags about this place and I can comfortably give it 4 stars in relation to friendly and prompt staff, great food selection and also very tasty! Lit does wen to be a bit out of the way but with the drive!

    Perfect outdoor peaceful patio. No drafts, but good food (tad pricey). I'd suggest wine and the BBQ. Odd combination, but seems to be their best strengths.

    My sister and I had a nice lunch a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed the patio and food, so I suggested to my husband we go for dinner. We will never go back for dinner. Service was so slow. We thought we would try the ribs and pulled pork. Ribs were dry, too burned and tasteless....even when I asked for sauce. Pulled pork was dry and awful. This place is very hit or miss. The tacos I had at the lunch were great. The sweet potato tater tots are good.

    BBQ salmon salad with mandarin oranges was great. Highly recommended. It's tasted as good as it looked.

    We order take out from here a few times a month for work. The menu is great and they have some of the best wings around! Have dined in a few times also. Their patio is an excellent place to enjoy a drink and an appetizer or dinner on a summer evening!

    We had a great lunch on the patio today! Our shrimp po boys sandwiches were very good. The sweet potato fries and homemade potato chips were tasty too. We also tried the kale side dish, which was good. Our server, Kyle provided excellent, friendly service. The food and wine is reasonably priced, we will be back.

    I found this hidden gem after a bike ride down the Erie Canal towpath. I felt like having a beer. Great scenery especially in the fall! I would of ordered a meal and stayed for a 2nd or 3rd, but after reading the poor reviews AND the bar tender sneezing Into her hand then wiping her snot box she didn't even bother to wash her hands I opted out, got on my mountain bike and headed home. Too bad looks like it would be a cool place to bring a date.
