Moosehead Saloon

I love this spot. Right around the corner from Crocker Park. We always get take-​out because it’s a quick walk from my house.
The venue is nice but isn’t the largest so when they get crowded it’s sometimes tough to get a table.
Full bar and menu which includes your typical bar food. I have only had their burgers but they are fantastic. I recommend the blackened tuna steak burger if you want something different.

Was here a year ago, was pleased then with service and food. But I now tried it again this past week, but a totally different impression. First, the hostess who seated us was not warm and welcoming, made it feel like a chore that we had arrived. Really? Honey, you’re the first impression of a place, so you already set the pace on a bad start. We sat, got menu, and ordered drinks. Have to say happy hour prices and pour were both very good. Menu is a hodge podge of things, but some basic information that should be there on the menu is not. Example– you can order ribs, you get the meat portion only but must order any sides individually. That’s fine, but the menu shows no prices for sides– are they $ 2, $ 5, $ 10 each? Also, they only have one burger on the menu, it actually sounds very nice and delicious, but what happens if you just wanted a plain basic burger– not there. And for that one they do have on the menu, I live in NYC, one of the most expensive places in the country and I can think of 10 places in NYC where the burger price is lower than what they offer here. Once again, the menu does not give you information– is it a ¼ lb burger, ½ lb burger, or a patty the size of something you’d find on a slider? For $ 11 for a burger, it better be damn big, and it better be some very prime beef. Ahhhh the special for that evening sounded good, but once again– no info! Does it come with any side (s)? Needless to say, after the lack of hospitality from the hostess, to realizing that i’d have to quiz our server on every aspect of the menu, it just felt like too much of a challenge. Drink was good, went elsewhere for dinner. Was warmly greeted, had sensational service, and had every question that I could have ever asked already addressed in the menu.

Eaten here many times in the last several years and the food and service is great. Great atmosphere and I have never been disappointed. Both locations Westlake and Olmsted Falls!

Food is great, especially the French onion dip they have. I’m assuming it’s home made. It’s a small restaurant, but I’ve never had to wait long if I wasn’t seated right away.

It’s really the only reason I come out to Westlake besides Crocker. I’m a huge fan of the French dip sandwiches. Last time I was here, the service was poor and the staff looked distracted. I didn’t care that much.
I would mostly recommend this place because it’s the kind of bar/​grill/​pub that doesn’t exist in the outermost suburbs. The appetizers and sandwiches are abundant. This is just the kind of Cleveland establishment built for a suburban crowd in the most diverse area of the far west.

To be quite honest I had never heard of this place until my boyfriend suggested we stop and eat here before seeing a movie at Crocker Park. What a great find!
Right as we sat down a party of 40 was seated on the back patio and we still got our orders in a timely fashion– very impressed! I ordered the Crusted Pecan Salad with Chicken and Whoa! was it amazing! The Cranberry Vinaigrette that comes with it is absolutely delicious! I would buy a jar of it! My boyfriend ordered the Grilled French Onion Steak Sandwich that was equally delicious! I will definitely be back to try the pierogi melt that I had my eye!

Lively local bar/​restaurant without the usual bar food. Menu options for everyone with great burgers, sandwiches and salads. I love there soups and specials. We will be back

Place is consistent with good food and decent prices. Menu is typical bar fare with the welcome addition of homemade chips. Cozy patio for warmer weather months. More of a restaurant than a «neighborhood bar.» Recently visited during a Cavs game which was played on television but not streamed on the speakers (the restaurant chose to continue to play pandora radio instead). Always enjoy my meals here.

I met a friend for lunch today for my first visit here.
The first thing I noticed when I walked in — it is SMALL and it reminds me of my grandparents TV den full of cabin knick knacks (add a small hoarding problem.) This place is packed, but I like it.
After the charming location, I noticed the smell– delicious BBQ. Totally made me second guess the spinach salad I scoped out on their website menu.
Per the menu online, it says the following description, including a breaded artichoke heart, but when I ordered, it came with breaded mozzerella squares. No biggie– anything fried is pretty awesome.
THE POPEYE
Fresh spinach is topped with crumbled dry bleu cheese, dried cherries, mushrooms, red onions, pecans and a breaded artichoke heart. Choice of dressing.
Chicken or Portabella 14
Steak or Shrimp 17
Seriously, $ 17 for a salad? Bit pricey for a salad at lunch time.
We arrived around 11:30, but the lunch crowd was in full force, so we took an immediate place at the bar. A friendly waitress took our order shortly after. And then we waited, and waited, and waited. She stopped by once to say they were working our order. Our food came just after 12:30.
Seriously, an hour wait at the bar? But I get it, it was Friday, it was packed.
The salad was delicious, came with really good cranberry vinaigrette but I didn’t even need it because all the ingredients were so yummy. I opted for the chicken and it was perfectly grilled and not dry at all. I really like that salad, I would eat that salad again for dinner and tomorrow for breakfast.
I will definitely be back for another try, DEFINITELY NOT at lunch time when I need to be back at work.

Moosehead has really good food for a simple night out, not to expensive, and pretty good food and service. The only issue (which is a big issue with Moosehead) is that it is a very small restaurant. Almost every time you go finding a parking spot is almost always impossible, but if you are lucky to find one, you are then asked to wait about 20 min or more. Of course this is more of an issue on weekends, but they really are way too small of a restaurant for the amount of business they get.

Have a new opinion of the Moosehead… Went with my dad and had the buffalo chicken wonton things (forget what they’re called). Ok – they were awesome! And then I had a taco salad, also yummy. Ordered a christmas ale and it was served in a frosty mug. That’s all it takes to make me happy

I’ve been here a few times. I expected it to get better, but it did not. I ordered the fish n chips. I got super greasy flaccid fish and fries. On top of that, the bartender/​waiter charged me for the large platter which I guess he thought I wanted being a petite girl and assuming and all. Never going back!

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Excellent food, good service, great drink selection.

Great place with it’s own label brew on tap. Lovely patio dining, might want to bring some bug spray. Solid pirogi’s which come on a sandwhich, I just skipped the bread.
Great guacamole! Solid cocktails.

This place is great in the summer. Awesome patio. Lots of selection. A little overpriced I think. Very cozy inside. I think that their appetizers and salads are the best bet.

Love the food. However, they should really get the ball rolling on finding a bigger location with more available parking. And no I don’t feel like driving all the way to Olmsted Falls out of my way just for that.

Moosehead is great if you want an updated take on bar food. They have typical items that you would find on a bar menu like sandwiches and burgers but with a twist. I have had a lot of different things here with some of my favorites being their French onion burger and their salmon burger with thai chili sauce, YUM! They also have really good soups!
The dining room is small but it has a nice atmosphere. The service is good and they have an outdoor patio as a bonus!
**If you have been here before, they just recently got a new menu!**

Tried the moose head saloon with a co-​worked for dinner. Setup is a little strange walk in the front door and almost no where to stand if the bar is crowded, your sort of in top of the diners to the left. We were stood there for a few minutes and were then greeted by a waitress, no room for a hostess stand, just a sign saying seat yourself, but it didn’t appear you could. Oh well pretty much the only downside so that’s pretty good. Menu is pretty extensive for a local eatery/​pub/​restaurant. I ordered the BBQ trio platter, chic breast, rib and shrimp came with slaw and house made chips. They brag about their ribs and rightfully so, they were pretty darn good. I also had the French onion soup and it was very good as well. The waitress was excellent and was always there filling our drinks long before they were done. Next time I’m back, it’s a definite stop going forward, need to try some of the other
Menu items that looked intriguing.

I’ve been coming to this area of NE Ohio for a long time (family in the area) so I’ve been here at least six-​eight times over the last several years. The one characteristic that stands out is inconsistency.
It’s a local place that caters to a comfort food crowd. They try to be creative with some of their menu items but it’s almost too much. The menu is all over the place and I want them to seriously think about cutting the menu down and focus on doing fewer things but doing them better.
I was here Tuesday night and had the grilled chicken sandwich. After a LONG wait, it finally arrived drier than an old shoe and with no discernible flavor whatsoever. It was served with bacon (which was not specified on the menu) and I had asked for the sweet potato fries which were good. The folks both had burgers and while they enjoyed them, my mom also complained that it was cold. Our server was handlling both the bar and some of the booths so she was distracted and not particularly warm or engaging. Ironically, I’ve had the same chicken sandwich here before and it was yummy.
I’m not a fan of places that have menus with an almost alarming number of ways to serve burgers or 12 types of sandwiches and attempting to be clever with «Irish» nachos — huh?
Appetizers in the past have been okay. I do like the neighborhood feel here but I wouldn’t go rushing back for the food any time soon.

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.
The menu has changed, the service has gotten slower (and it was always kind of slow before), and the overall experience was just meh. Are the chips and dip still great, yes… THANK GOD for that!
