The Mason Jar Grill & Pub

Came here for dinner after shopping at Aurora Farms. My boyfriend said many different restaurants had been here since he was a kid but I told him the pics looked promising. We quite enjoyed our meals. I absolutely loved the rustic feel of the place. I also liked that they put a spin on traditional bar food by offering the menu of stuffed burgers, which we both ordered from. My only small complaint is that I ordered my burger medium and it was well done. My boyfriend ordered his medium rare and the waitress kindly told him they don’t recommend doing less than medium with a stuffed burger because cold ingredients stuffed inside, like spinach and thick sliced cheese, may not warm completely if the patty is cooked medium rare. I completely understand this reasoning. But since I ordered medium, I expected at least some pink. Perhaps they should note this on the menu so you know what to expect, especially if you’re a somewhat burger snob like us and look forward to a nice pink center. But the burgers themselves were huge and delicious, I could only eat half of mine. Leftovers were just as yummy! Plus the fresh cut fries were a great accompaniment.

As a person who doesn’t order burgers, this is my place to go for a burger! Awesome service and a nice place. Great for two or a group, great hangout spot.

Awesome food and atmosphere, fresh ingredients our Server Jackie was great. Definitely give this place a try you will not be disappointed.

I cannot figure out when they are open, I have tried to get breakfast here a couple of times.

My wife and I have been here twice — once with friends on the back patio and once at the bar. Both experiences were very good. On our most recent visit there was a 10 minute wait for seating, so we decided to sit at the bar and have a drink. They have a great craft list on draft that is always rotating. When we were there the options included a few options from Heavy Seas, Southern Tier, and a few others that I can’t seem to remember.
Our bartender was so good that we decided to stay at the bar. The place really filled up around 7pm, but we were hunkered down and enjoyed the half price apps that they boast for happy hour — even on Fridays! Their beer is prices a bit high for my liking. Even with the happy hour $ 1 off, my beers were still $ 5.75 each. Too much.
We did the potato skins, zucchini spears, and loaded fries — all were very good.
On the previous visit we hit their famous stuffed burgers which were a great choice.
There are not a lot of «not chain» places in the Aurora/​Streetsboro area, so this little place is a really nice addition to the neighborhood. Try it out and hit the happy hour from 4−7p

So I was recommended here by a friend of mine. So I came here this past Saturday and it was great I’m mean great I had the chicken hibachi… to die for great chef they have for the weekend. But my experience from last night was a nightmare the mac n cheese was just cheese sauce and noodles… gross… my son and I ended up going to Wendy’s at least there’s a better option for burgers there. If I ever step 1 foot back into this place it’ll be on the weekend when there chef is there… why he’s not there every night I don’t know!

We visited The Mason Jar Grill & Pub last night and enjoyed a fabulous meal in an eclectic setting for a very reasonable price. The salads were exquisite! My wife ordered the salmon and requested it be moist and blackened New Orleans style. It was served as requested with a bed of wild rice and al dente vegetables; she declared it was the best salmon and rice she had in many months. I ordered and immensely enjoyed the jambalaya served on butterfly pasta; the sauce was particularly delicious, and all the other ingredients were simply perfect.
My only regret was that the Mason Jar didn’t offer New Orleans style Manhattan Clam Chowder or a Seafood Chowder. The server was attentive and courteous adding to a memorable evening. Thank you!

Great selection on draft beers. Staff was very friendly. Grass fed stuffed burgers are amazing. Not many good places to just have a drink and unwind in this area I would consider this one of the best.

First of all I served/​managed for 7 years so I am very understanding. Went to this this place on a Sunday for brunch. Servers just looked at us when we came in and didn’t say hi. Very disappointed. No liquor license so you can’t get a Bloody Mary. So I figured I would get a mimosa. Nope no wine either. Put a song on the jukebox and the sever comes over and turns it down… Order our food and it comes out cold. Server says «oh I forgot to turn the heat lamp on». Oh thanks. I love when my food sits under a heat lamp. Brings it back again. My food was sub par. Both servers and the manager (owner?) ate in front of the whole restaurant just chomping away… Server dropped out checks off half way through the meal making us feel rushed. Now I know why there is only one other table in here today. Not coming back again.

I’ve only been here once and I had an all right experience. There are very few non-​chain restaurants (or restaurants) in the area, so I love places like this. My sister and I both ordered the Brick House burger. She said she really didn’t care for it at all, but I thought it was great. I thought it had flavor and had absolutely no complaints about it. She also ordered the blueberry ice cream that we were told is made in-​house for dessert-​she like that, but I did not care for it once bit. So, I guess we just have different tastes!
The service was ok. I stood around for a little bit until I was able to grab a waitress (they were not busy) to ask if I should seat myself or not. She said no, seated me, asked me what I wanted to drink. I never received the water I ordered. We ended up having a different waitress actually serving us, but still.
I really hope they can or at least try to do something about the acoustics in that place. OMG it was so loud. There was a table of about 15 middle aged adults – in their 40s or so. Typical men that think everything they say is funny and important, and their wives that dress like they are in their mid 20’s and get drunk off one glass of wine. They were so loud, we almost stood up and left as soon as we sat down. They quieted down a little bit oince they got their food, but we couldn’t wait for them to leave.
I say give this place a chance. Support your local business.

This place is so great, the macaroni burger is incredible! Also the Long Islands are delicious and very strong, in a good way. The atmosphere is very welcoming and all of the staff members made sure we got taken care of. Also they have a lot of great beers that other restaurants in the area don’t carry. It was a fantastic visit!

I stopped in here a couple weeks ago for the first time, and I’m really glad I did! I was with my husband and some friends from out of town. We met there for an early dinner and easily got a table. The wait staff was friendly and so very attentive! We started with an order of zucchini planks to share. The marinara that comes with it!!! Holy freshness! It had such a bright taste! I later found out that it’s made fresh, in-​house. So good! For dinner I went with the «Capri’s» stuffed burger. It’s basically a Caprese Salad stuffed inside a burger! Mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil… a fantastic flavor combination in a perfectly cooked, juicy burger! My husband opted for the Rustic Cajun Jambalaya, which was served over bow-​tie pasta for a different twist! Again, another flavorful dish!
I almost forgot to mention my perfectly mixed Manhattan! So good I had to have 2!
In a nutshell… friendly service paired with fresh, original dishes… we have ourselves a winner!

Here again with friends. The food and spirits are very enjoyable. I’m always going to remember this da. Our good friend Elvis is going away and we will miss him dearly.

One of the best burgers I have had. Wait staff left a little to be desired but worked as a team to get us what we needed. Atmosphere is definitely small town chic. I had the jalapeño burger and it was amazing. The fresh cut fries were to die for.

My first trip to the Mason Jar resulted in an okay experience, which is worthy enough for another future visit to see if things improve a bit.
Our server was very friendly, but she forgot to tell us about the specials/​appetizers listed on a board by the television set, and we didn’t discover this until long after we had placed our order. This really stunk because the fish dinner option sounded very good. Anyway, I settled on a pulled pork sandwich, and the wife chose the Greek burger. The food was served very fresh and the wait wasn’t long at all. The pulled pork was decent, but seemed way too salty to me. I’ve never had salty pulled pork before so this was odd to me. The fries that came with it were okay. My wife absolutely loved her Greek burger and really enjoyed the fries that came with it as well.
We decided on desert, so we got the smores in a mason jar. I would recommend staying away from this because they give you way more than you need, and it just didn’t «wow» us. My wife had their peanut butter crunch dessert a few weeks back and thoroughly enjoyed it.
So in all, I’ll give them another shot. I wasn’t wowed, but the wife loved it.

Went here for a double date with my roommate. Both my boyfriend and I got big, greasy burgers. For being known for their burgers, they were pretty decent — cooked just like we asked them to. My roommate and her boyfriend got pasta dishes and were pretty unimpressed. With my burger, I got a side of Brussels sprouts, which were supposedly supposed to be «amazing» according to our waitress, but neither I nor my boyfriend could bear to finish them, and he will honestly eat anything. All in all, a pretty unremarkable experience. The service wasn’t too bad. Our waitress was nice enough.

We had great service and the pulled pork was awesome. We also had a burger and the Mac&cheese which were both really good.

Been here a couple times and I also don’t understand the negative reviews. I have gotten excellent service and great food every time. We usually sit at the bar which may make for quicker service. The owner (I think his name is Scott) came out and sat at the bar with us a couple times. Very nice guy. I say give this place a chance. We need good places like this to stay around so we have a good choice of dining options in the area

Was very excited to eat here as I heard the burgers were really good. Was not too impressed.
The burger was good but Mac and cheese was a bit dry and didn’t have much flavor. Aurora dip was warm (I prefer hot food) and meat was rare in the middle so it was chewy when I was eating it and not appetizing. Was charged $ 3.99 for a fruit cup, all I ordered was a banana sliced for my baby.
Price was too high for the food we received.
On a positive note, the atmosphere was inviting and staff was very friendly!

I don’t understand all of the negative reviews about this place. The service was great both times we’ve been there (breakfast and dinner) the waitress seemed knowledgeable about the menu and didn’t rush us.
The first time we were there we got breakfast. My fiancé had the sausage and gravy and it was delicious. You could tell it was made from scratch and was a generous portion. I had the turkey croissant., normally I don’t like turkey (on anything or by itself) but I actually liked it on this. The croissant also was fresh with a perfect runny egg on it.
The second time we both got the calamari and we each got burgers. The calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly (seriously, I hate chewy calamari) and it was served with a jalapeño sauce which really complemented it. The burgers are all «stuffed» (this is clearly stated on the menu) we both got the Brickhouse burger and it was really good and juicy. My biggest issue with places is whenever they overcook everything. If you are expecting a McDonalds burger (small, overcooked, salty) then no, this will not be good. If you like a real burger (you can tell they make them by hand) that isn’t cooked for 20 minutes then you will like these burgers.
I also had two cocktails… a margarita ($ 4 tequila) which was really good… pretty sure it was made from scratch and a moscow mule. Both of them packed a punch and were very good.
The atmosphere is really nice and laid back inside… I love the painted brick and wood details. There is a small bar and the kitchen is open to the dining room. Overall we had a really nice meal in a great atmosphere, we will be back!
