Danny Boy’s- Broadview Heights

Took my mom and my nephew and niece beer for Mother’s Day. Big disappointment line was long and slow moving for the buffet and the food wasn’t that good or hot and the kids nor was I happy about the food. Gave my mother a coupon for mothers. Day but I didn’t receive any and had to ask for more water and wait for another 5 mins to get the refill. We stopped on our way home to get ice cream since it wasn’t rally that filling. Won’t be back.

I’m a huge fan of Danny Boys. I love coming home after a long day of work and calling in my order. My kids LOVE the food there, and my husband too. I highly recommend giving one of their pasta dishes a try– you won’t regret it!

Basic «Italian» chain restaurant.
The food isn’t always great and the service is sometimes spotty. Especially these last couple times.
The good — house french fries, «breadsticks», bings buffalo woogie
The bad — service is sometimes spotty, it can take a while to get your food sometimes even when the restaurant isn’t full, issues with cross contamination*
Danny Boys hasn’t always been mediocre, it used to be pretty good when they first opened this location however it has gone down hill recently. I wouldn’t recommend you to go out of the way to visit. However if your in the neighborhood and wanting some pizza, subs, calzones or you’re meeting friends here it’s not bad.
*contamination issue — my sister has celiac disease and while an Italian restaurant isn’t normally an option Danny Boy’s boasts the fact they have a gluten free menu. Even with explaining the allergy including the need to cook everything in clean pans and to make sure the cooks change their gloves to both the server and the manager she still managed to get extremely sick from a chicken salad. Celiacs/​Gluten Free beware!

Danny Boys is a small, local chain of Rat Pack themed Italian restaurants in NE Ohio. The Broadview Heights location, on Broadview Road features a bar into the center of a moderately large dining room with a variety of seating options and a space for live entertainment. There is hosted trivia on Thursdays. The sizable menu features a broad variety of Italian classics, pizzas, pastas, chicken parm as well as sandwiches and burgers. We’ve visited as a family many times and have always had good service. This visit we tried ravioli, a pesto BLT wrap, angel hair pasta, a house salad, and chicken pesto Flatbread with goat cheese. All of the dishes were enjoyed and there were many leftovers. The BLT wrap was huge; one half was enough for dinner. The ravioli portion was big enough to allow for half for lunch tomorrow also. All the dishes were enjoyed although the Flatbread could have used more goat cheese. With pop and an appetizer, dinner for 5 with a nice tip came to $ 93.
This is a good restaurant to meet friends, have a gathering, or even meet for business. There are TVs around showing sports, friendly prompt service and pretty good food.

The wings are basically what you can get in your local supermarket freezer. The bread on any sandwich, calzone, pizza etc is always soggy and never crisp. Also if you order to go, expect your food cold. Even when they make you wait 15 minutes for it. Overrated place with overpriced food. Again, watch out for soggy dough.

The food at this place tasted great. And it was a game day so I was loving the drink specials. Also just the look of this establishment in general was pretty awesome. The only reason I’m not giving this place five stars is because when I went it was freezing. Like we were at our table shivering. Actually shivering. But it wasn’t just cold. It took a long time to get our entrée. If it wasn’t for college the tall beer and football I almost didn’t notice. But everyone got food around the same time but we were there an hour be for them. The service was good tho and as I said the food was amazing. Next turn the heat on. Cause I will be back.

Service was good. Pizza was fabulous and the restaurant was all around clean. Will probably visit again.

Not loving it… Everything is butter soaked. I ordered a Vegas veggie sandwich. It was tasteless. Bread stick appetizers were dripping in butter. Tomato sauce is below average. Will not go back. Not recommend for people on a diet or folks that have coronary problems…

Ordered pick up. Place was empty, but looked nice. They didn’t have a kids menu so ordered a small pizza and an order of spaghetti. I got a deep dish pizza. All was tasty, but costly. I plan to go back, just not in the near future.

I still like the taste of the food, but sad to say the overall experience is overpriced at this location. Soggy pizza, whaddayawant attitude, almost dead on a Friday night. I don’t blame any of the staff, tend to blame management for this sort of thing. They could really improve things with training…
Much prefer the Rocky River location that’s always been on top of things.

i don’t like sausage on a pizza, or i thought i didn’t until i had the Chicago (deep dish pizza) at Danny Boy’s.
this may have been the best pizza i’ve ever had in my life — honestly incredible. i want another and i’ll have another. soon.
Danielle had a Chicken Philly and Fries pizza. Brian, our server, came out to let us know her pizza had gotten slightly burned while cooking. he boxed that pizza up and gave it to us to take home and then had a new pizza made for her to eat there. he also offered her a salad, which she declined, but it was nice of him to offer. the customer service was incredible.

Love this place. It’s so much nicer here than the one in Rocky River where you have to wait a month for a table. The food is all fantastic and large portions. It’s slightly expensive for pizza in the area but well worth it. They have lots of other options with sandwiches, calzones, and pasta. My favorite appetizer is the Bada Bing Chips. Potato chips covered in melted cheese, buffalo sauce and blue cheese sprinkles!
The décor is fun and the servers are friendly. Well worth a trip. The only oddity is the music. If you’re posting pictures of the rat pack on the wall and naming everything after gangsters why are you playing top 20 hits? Put on some Frank Sinatra!

I always enjoy going to the location in Ricky River, and thought I’d give this one a try. The location is a little bit out of the way for me, but it’s right off the highway on the main street, so wasn’t hard to find.
Food is consistent just like the one on the west side. I had a DB’s bistro salad with chicken and a Chicago pizza. Sales was fresh and delicious. Loved the goat cheese and crane berries in it. The Italian sausage on the pizza is a little bit tough to my taste, but still good. The hostess/​waitress was very polite and friendly. I was there at an odd time, so the place is almost empty but me.
I would have come back there if I lived in that area. Definitely a nice place to visit for the locals.

Oh Danny… I want to like you so much more than I do.
Don’t get me wrong, this place has it’s good points, I’ve just had so much better. The décor is fun with it’s Frank Sinatra style with a hint of old diner. Of course the menu is themed to accommodate.
The portions here are HUGE. I mean, the «bread-​sticks» are «medium loaves of bread» huge. The appetizer comes with five of them. FIVE loaves of garlic-​y bread. The actual garlic bread was a large loaf cut in half. I was full before the pizza even came.
I have one big issue with the pizza and it may have been my fault, but our server should have asked. We ordered the deep dish assuming we were going to get Chicago style. Now, either they have two types of deep dish and she gave us the regular one or the deep dish here is terrible. I am willing to admit that maybe, had I asked for Chicago, I may have actually gotten Chicago. However, since the waitress didn’t think to ask what kind I wanted, I’m going to operate under the assumption that Danny does not know what deep dish is. It was basically just a moderately deep pizza. Sauce on the bottom, cheese and pepperoni on top. Fine, but NOT deep dish. The crust was what really threw me off though. It was basically bread. I could rip it apart and make a sandwich with it. Good but weird.
This review is confusing. I’m even confusing myself by reading it over. I apologize and will tell you that the confusion must just be part of Danny boys experience. Now that I know what to expect, maybe I will return and try to have better time.

Fun atmosphere, good food. Our group of 7 got a table in no time and had fun with the deck of cards in the napkin holder.
Started with cheesy bread and sauce. Definitely enough for 2, if not 3, people, and totally worth it — very soft, doughy, warm, and melty. The 3 of us who split the cheesy bread also shared a Clevelander pizza, described as the meeting of NY and Chicago style. It’s a deep dish pizza made upside-​down, with the pepperoni and cheese below the sauce. Everyone enjoyed it, especially the dough.
If you want a Chicago style, make sure you specify Chicago deep dish. Others in our group ordered a deep dish hoping for Chicago style, but it was just a regular deep dish. Nonetheless, it looked delicious.
Overal, pretty good experience. Some other things on the menu I’d like to try, so I’ll probably be back sometime.

I dropped by here to watch a buddy’s blues and rock band play. I’ve been trying to get to Danny Boys, except the one in Lakewood. I figured they would be about the same.
I heard a lot of good things about Danny Boys, specifically that they have a Chicago style pizza that stands up to actual Chicago pizza. I was a bit disappointed. The pizza was okay, but it pales in comparison to my favorite deep dish pizza from the windy city. I’d be willing to go back here if they have more bands playing.

Great place. Very good pizza. Dinner portions are huge. Something for everyone and there’s lots of Frank Sinatra.

I was on the hunt for a good deep dish pizza in the area and I finally found it. There are so many things that look good on their menu though that it’s hard to decide what to order. I’ve never been disappointed with any of my food choices there and service has always been great. I also love the décor.

Stick to the pizza here. We’ve been here a couple times before (Rocky River location has better service) and always get the Clevelander pizza. We had a Living Social coupon this time so we stopped by and ate at the bar. We experienced neglectful service even though we were one of three parties in the whole restaurant and we were not impressed with our sub and woogie melt. We will stick to our favorite place down the street, Antonio’s, going forward.

Great wait service. Breadsticks very light, fluffy, and tasty. Marinara sauce fresh and very good. Pizza was very good, made from fresh ingredients. Frank Sinatra stuff everywhere. I’ll be back.

I love the Rocky River location close to where I live and now I can order Danny Boys catering now that the Broadview Heights location opened by my work! Score!
Last week I called just after 11 when they opened and they were able to delivery in about an hour lunch for 6 at my business meeting. Friendly service, fair price (we have a per head price we can’t go over and they can meet it), good food, reliable delivery– perfect! Thank you Danny Boys, pizza makes work meetings MUCH more fun.

Live right by Danny Boys and we finally decided to try it. Honestly, the last year I’ve lived here I thought it was a cabaret of some sort. Not a very attractive looking restaurant from the outside. The interior of the restaurant was such a pleasant surprise. Very clean and had a great welcoming feel.
Unfortunately, the service was slow and the food was nothing great. I ordered a melt and it was oily and nothing to brag about. The pizza we ordered was also subpar. I wanted to ask for a side of sauce because it lacked flavor. I will say the flies were yummy, but I mean that’s a given.
On a last note, the menu is outrageously large. Too many items in my opinion. Made it hard to decide and I feel like much if it was just over kill. Overall, wasn’t too impressed with the service or food, but I would come back for the bar, it had a cool, relaxed atmosphere.

Ok, I admit it. I’m a snob. I like the whole locally sourced, independently owned, anti-​franchise, urban renewal, blahdeyblah.
When I drove by Danny Boys, I honestly didn’t think that I was going to like it. I mean, where is the minimalist exposed brick and terse waitstaff? That and there is wayyy too much ample parking for my taste!
Danny Boys really blew me away though. It’s large, has an open bar and open feeling, lots of TVs, lots of fun kitsch on the walls… and I haven’t even gotten to the food yet!
They have a huge menu with about anything you could think of. We ordered an appetizer pizza with ricotta, mushrooms and spinach. It was delicious and the size was much larger than what I’d expected under the «appetizer pizza» menu. My bf got the Tony Soprano (spaghetti, meatballs, on a sub bun) and I got a brisket turnover with pub cheese sauce. We left full and happy and I asked for another cup of that cheese sauce because (*explicative*) it was awesome! (Side note: I’ve been trying to figure out what’s in it for days… please Danny Boys… I must know!)
Our server Brando (Really? Come on!) was on top of things, despite being short staffed. He kept our respective drinks full and was absolutely engaging! I also want to add just how fun it was to see the place packed, with lots of families and balloon hats. It was a fun time and I loved the food!
We’ll absolutely be back!
