Babe’s Sports Grille

When I got the bill there was a $ 10.00 «entertainment fee.» $ 5.00 each for my wife and I. This is at least un-​ethical, if not illegal. If there is a cover charge, which some bars charge, it should be disclosed when you come in. Not when you get the check. The only reason I gave them one star is because this web-​site doesn’t allow you to give them no stars.

The dinner the 4 of us had tonite at Babes was WONDERFUL… the WINGS ARE THE BEST in Cleveland east or west!!! …the Steak salad was cooked perfectly. it was tender and the dressing over romaine great!!! The Chicken Sandwich was Awesome with actual Juicy tender chicken and the Fries were Fabulous!!! Service was excellent!!! We went before a concert at Grace Church and if I lived on the west side I would eat there weekly!!! GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!

The bar is one large open room with tables, booths and couches. There is a dance floor and pool table. There are at least 25 seats at the bar– so plenty of room for everyone. Lots of TV’ s for sports viewing. We always had a drink in front of us and our food was served hot and fast.

Decent food, Burgers are really good. This place used to be really really good but the last couple years the portion sizes have gone down and the prices have gone up. It used to be a good deal but now it is not worth it. It’s a shame, Middleburg does not have too many good places for a quick lunch.

Came to have drinks with some friends over the holidays. The bar is a lot nicer on the inside than you would expect, and the bartenders were friendly and efficient. They also had some pretty intense trivia going on along with plenty of TVs to watch the college bowl games. Pretty much everything you need in a bar environment. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to sample the food that evening because I was on a strict liquid diet. Based on my one experience there, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Went for a wedding as a guest, bought 8 – 10 drinks for myself (vodka and cranberries) felt little to no buzz. Either very weak drinks or watered down liquor. Very unhappy with that. The food was good but the chicken seemed a little undercooked (I wasn’t the only one to notice this.). The owner went up to the bride during the reception and told her the balance, I don’t believe that was the right thing to do either. Way to be all about money.

Horrible service. The owner is the worst part of it all. They do not care about getting or keeping customers and it shows

Babe’s is a very spacious bar with a lot of tables but heaps of bar stools too. The bar snakes through the whole backside so you have a good view of the whole establishment. They also have a large patio.
I was here for a fundraiser and the pizza they served was fantastic! The service was also excellent. Our bartender came out from behind the bar to our table many times to see if we needed anything else. She was also attentive to clearing our empties. A few times people at our table asked for different TV stations to be put on and it wasn’t a big deal.

Babe’s is close to home, so it’s convenient to stop in when I just want a quick bite and drink without having to stress about «getting ready» to go to dinner. I’ve been 3 or 4 times now and had the same waitress each time. She’s really efficient, nice and attentive. I’ve typically stuck with their burgers which are adequate. Sometimes overcooked and a bit dry, but doable I guess. On my most recent visit I tried the fish sandwich w/​hush puppies. The fish was a square pattie, like the kind you get from the Schwan truck. Surprise #1. Surprise #2 was that they served it burnt. What cook and server worth anything thinks that’s ok to put in front of a customer? Surprise #3: The hush puppies were overcooked, dry and flavorless. I took the fish out of the bun and put it in the middle of the plate, called the server over and said «this needs to be recooked correctly.» Surprise #4…food delivered with a still overcooked fish sandwich, although not as bad as round 1, and the same hush puppies as round 1… not replaced. Whatever!!! I ate…2 hush puppies and ½ the sandwich. My partner ordered the patty melt, which was served with no onions or cheese. Just a patty on rye bread. Our friendly waitress bought me a drink and explained there was a brand new cook. Seems to me that cook should have the shortest tenure in the food industry and go away.
Babe’s: You’re menu is simple, why can’t you cook your food accordingly? For convenience I want to continue to patronize, but that food needs a serious upgrade. Keep the menu… just find someone who knows how to cook, and quit buying your product in a can or freezer bag. It’s less expensive and more tasteful to use fresh.
I really don’t know if I’ll be back. Am gonna shop around for a few months I think.
