Nice place. They used to be known for having some of the better wings in Cleveland. They are now subpar. Dry and chewy. Staff is usually very good.

I prefer this location to the Miles road location, as it is typically less crowded due to being tucked away and somewhat off the beaten path. Pros: divided nicely into several rooms for a warmer feel; Wings are decently priced with a great variety. Good beer selection. Cons: Service is a bit spotty; Have screwed up a carry out order for me a couple of times.

Nice bar restaurant chain in OH. Solid lunchtime meeting location with good atmosphere, food & drink. Server we had was very nice as well.

This was my second time visiting this place, and both times I enjoyed myself. The drinks are okay and the food good. The service is positive and helpful throughout the dining experience. Best of all drinks are inexpensive. The place do look a little dated which is why I took two stars off. Overall I would return for drinks.

Every time I am in Beachwood area I eat at this place and am never disappointed. I ordered the skinny dippers, boneless chicken pieces without all the batter. Although this does not sound that exciting, they were spectacular. This was the first time I ordered these(usually have the wings which are also great) and I was very surprised how tasty they were. The Winking Lizard has a great beer selection that I tried out with some comp. popcorn while we waited for our meal. Service is usually pretty good, this time it was the server who actually suggested the skinny dippers. Great Job!

Would give a much better review but it was cold. Took long time to get food and a awhile to check out. They need to work on these things not acceptable for such a good chain.

This is a great place to go. They have a really nice outdoor section which opens up during the summer with tvs. We’ve gone there a couple times where they were missing some pretty basic bar necessities but the bartenders were able to work around it. My friends and I go every month to get the glass of the month because we love being able to take the glass home with us. It’s in sort of a dark area with nothing else around it but it’s a safe area so no worries.

I really liked it. Period. Good beer. Good service. Food was good for what it is. If you want friendly, quick service and to quench your thirst… I recommend it.

While convenient for those staying in the surrounding hotels or working in the business park, this location lacks any personality. The interior was cluttered; the outdoor seating might have been better. The beer selection was great as usual, and the wait staff was good, but the Stuffed Peppers I got were under-cooked, and I got food poisoning from it. Needless to say, no recommendation there. I don’t see any reason for anyone other than the«captive» audience to stop here, and if they do, stick to the burgers!

The hubbs and I enjoyed the blue cheese burger and wings, as well as, sharing the preferred fries. My husband requested all flats for the wings and even though it wasn’t «wing day» he was accommodated. The food was excellent. Service was slow even though the place wasn’t full. That’s the only reason this did not rate five stars. We will be back.

If you rated this place as a bar and beer list. hands down its a 5 star place!!! The food is average at best or maybe I misordered. I got the chicken teriyaki trying to be healthier while traveling and it was ok. If I had order what I wanted the sandwiches sounded much better. Service was quick and atmosphere is a good sports bar vibe.

Great place. Good people. Fun times. Close at midnight but that seems an Ohio thing. Stay at Homewood Suites across the street.

Winks is winks. Come here for good beer and great TV for sports. I wouldn’t come here for dinner or anything, but it is one of the better sports bar I have been to.

The winking lizard is a go to place for family and friends to get together for either food or drinks. I love the extensive beer menu, there is something for everyone! The downside is I don’t have much luck with ordering food. It’s either a hit or miss especially with carry out. They either forget my meal or bring me the wrong thing. Also, some things are just subpar or average. They do have really good salads and I’ve enjoyed items in their seasonal menu.

The Lizard is tucked back in between a few hotel chains. We stopped by after a late night at work for a drink and bar food. Outside they have a fire pit that everyone was vying for space around. They have an outside and inside bar and the who place is set up sort of like a lanai. It was freezing that night so we went inside but, it was still freezing inside due to the doors being open. They have a number of craft beers on draught and a sizable cocktail menu. Our drinks were great, the bartender was awesome, very good service. We ordered a few apps and split them… cheese dip, skinny wings. The food was subpar even for late night bar food, nothing thrilling. I would probably come here again for a drink but, skip the food.

Absolutely awful margaritas and the wings were no better… The atmosphere is good but that’s about it.

This is a nice place to get a drink and have some wings. Service seems to be spotty… this is my 2nd visit and its not busy, but the servers always seem a little unsure of what their next move will be. I give 4 stars because the food and drinks are on point!

I don’t know really what to say about this place! Pretty basic as far as local bars go. I was expecting to be more impressed or enamored since it seems many people enjoy going here, but I found it pretty typical. Food was good but nothing outstanding. I actually ate a burger, which is strange for me! I rarely enjoy burgers, but this one wasn’t half bad. I mean, I ate it after all! Beer selection was large however, so I’m sure beer drinkers enjoy that. I do not really drink beer though.

This review is for my experience in the restaurant’s party room. We reserved the room($ 100) for a party of 40 people on a Friday evening. As an out of towner, I had never been to this restaurant so I didn’t know what to expect. All aspects of our party went very, very well. We arrived an hour early to set up a few extra decorations. The room was all set up for us, including the table for the buffet and the table for the gifts and cake. We were assigned two servers and they were excellent the entire evening. We had a buffet of appetizers and all of them were delicious. We had pizza, chicken tenders, fried mozzarella triangles, barbeque wings, buffalo wings, french fries, cheeseburger sliders and pulled pork sliders and a vegetable tray. I recommend this restaurant for a small private party.

I would say Wink’s is a good lunch spot or a good place to come drink beer and watch sports. They have a good draft beer selection and flat screen TV’s everywhere. I came here for lunch one day and I had the pressed buffalo chicken wrap and it was very delicious! They serve it with bleu cheese dipping sauce but I asked for ranch dressing instead. The fries were excellent and were seasoned perfectly. I’ve been to Winking Lizard many times before and I wouldn’t say Wink’s is a step up but just more geared toward being a family friendly restaurant rather than a bar. They have a huge outdoor patio space which is nice in the summer. Our service was good and our waitress was very nice. I’ve heard from some co-workers that they have really good wings so I would recommend trying that if you go there. But don’t forget you can’t go wrong with the buffalo chicken wrap as well!
