Had a great first time experience at Rush Inn on 2-6-22 for lunch. Had the chili and the Hangover Burger w/fries. Both were excellent. Braden our server was A+.
Had wings and tacos, amazing food friendly waitress, great experience
Fish n Chips is outstanding and always a good beer list. If only theyd stop with the horrible classic rock playlist.
Great food and even better service. If you have not checked out this place please do I promise you will have an amazing time.
Great food and friendly service. Having Jim Tigue perform once a month, icing on the cake.
Honestly I never leave reviews but this was necessary….we were hoping for the small local bar with good food and good service for a browns game without the crowd . Unfortunately that was far from our experience. Food was maybe average… & our waitress was very nice but honestly awful . It wasn’t busy by any means …. 2 hours for wings and a wrap is ridiculous.
Atmosphere: 10/10Cute homie vibes - perfect for the dive bar thats not too much of a dive experience. Lots of wood to warm the place up.Price: 10/10Great prices for what you get!Food: 11/10Great quality, portion size and flavor!!!!Service: 11/10Our bartender was speedy & efficient (it was a weekday) but he didnt spend a long time talking to one table and ignoring us, which I find common on slow days. He also was a comfortable guy teasing and creating banter. Had a great time!
Great local bar. Good place to stop in for a bite to eat and get a drink before seing a performance at Beck Center.5/2022 still a good place for a bite to eat. Waite staff was very attentive.
One of my faves, all the bartnders are great people! Jeanie makes the best Long Islands around. Period.
Great food, good service, nice atmosphere.
Always great food and wonderful bartenders!! Kira and Mazzi are the best!!
First time back since pandemic. I get the chicken wing shortage. You at least are still serving the largest wings around. But how about maybe offering some fries or something else to offset. And when I ask for wings extra, EXTRA well done, I don’t expect to have to come home and put them in the air fryer for another 20 min. I should have checked, the server did not put notes on the order to have them well done. SMH. Loss in value AND can’t get the order correct. Sorry Rush, I used to sing your praises over all of Lakewood. I won’t badmouth you, but I am on the search for a new wing spot.
My steak was cooked wrong but none the less was very good and had very good flavor. The waiter that day however didnt check us very often and there was no introduction from him. Will probably go back again because the food is very good.
Only complaint is my order was wrong, but besides that the barmaid was super
We went today for some beers and wings. The wings were awful. Sad to see a place which used to have such great food go downhill so fast.
The food is wonderful 90 percent of the time. Fries are always good as well as the wings. If you order a well done burger its always burnt so I would recommend ordering medium well. The service isnt always fast. Whether I go to the bar or sit down usually it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to be greeted. I do see the servers and bartenders have a lot of regulars whom they are nice and friendly too.
Food is grossly over priced. Kenny doesn’t even care anymore. You can get the same exact potato skins at Riverwood for $3.00 less and get two more skins. Kitchen doesn’t care anymore. Used to be pretty good bar food. Now just average but priced like a steak house. Brendan has zero personality and now that Jeannie is gone it will go down hill.
Food was good. Our server barely came by to the table to check on us though. We had to flag her down for drink refills and to bring our check. They also dont allow you to order all flats or all drums for wings and they dont try to make it an even mix. If you like flats you might end up with one flat and all drums like I did the last 2 times Ive gone...
This was the best stop of our four bar/restaurant birthday hopping day. They served one of my favorite Bourbons, Angels Envy. I was also amazed at how great their wings are. Great value, very good service, and such a chill atmosphere.
We’ve been going to the Rush for the last 12 years and have always had a great experience. One time it was short staffed due to an emergency and it had long wait times, but the staff made up for it.The wings have always been outstanding and are always well priced. Try the French Dip as well. Beer selection is always good and the staff is friendly and fast. When we’re looking for a quick date escape, this is it.
Amazing food and service. I couldnt get over how good the wings are and how thick and juicy they were. Definitely will be recommending and definitely coming back. The lady behind the car said she had been an employee for a very long time. She was definitely very helpful and made us feel right at home.
The Rush Inn is the first place I think of when I want a good sitdown Burger (even when I had to carry out!), and the Rush Burger is top on that list. I get it medium with tater tots and its truly a delicious experience.Right up there is amazing meals is their fish and chips meal, which features an *enormous* portion of cod for the value.Couple that with their always cool and attentive service, and its a place Ill be supporting as much as possible.
Wonderful food - the wings were particularly great. Dont see a dry-rub on the wing flavor list very often. Good beer selection - not too microbrew, not too otherwise. Good size of crowd, not too loud or quiet. All-around great fun.
Good food, great drinks
Went on Thursday to get wings, theyre 75 cents a wing & you can order however many you please no increments of 6 or 12. They have fast, friendly service & live music as well. The bar isnt too loud great for conversation plus booths are available on both sides of the restaurant so youll never feel crowded.
I’ve been to Rush Inn many times. We used to go weekly, but lately everything has been super inconsistent. We love the friendly staff and the food is typically good. Prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, when it’s busy the quality of everything seems to go down—food doesn’t get cooked all the way through and orders get messed up. We’ll still visit, but it’s not one of our favorites anymore.
I used to love to get a hangover burger and fries here...but...you got rid of the DELICIOUS shoestring fries..and I unfortunately lost my interest in coming here regularly for my burger fix because the new fries were just....meh... The staff is lovely though, and there are some good bottled beer/cider options...but I can get that anywhere. Please bring back those fries...they were so good! :(
The whiskey selection is pretty good tbh! The staff is always a lot of fun too. They have everything in place to keep people as safe as possible while visiting and have a qr code for their menu.
One of my favorite spots in Lakewood. The service is always on point. Always. The menu items are also...always on point. Just the right amount of options and the only place I know of that has Beef Stroganoff as a staple, like most places would have...say, chicken fingers.Eat here. Drink here. Do it.
Good food, great service!
They make the BEST wing in Cleveland(On special Sunday mornings, Monday nights, and Thursday nights!!). No contest. Breaded to perfection and a great selection of sauces, including my personal favorite, mango jalapeno (its addicting and impossible to duplicate). However, they have a large menu if you arent feeling wings. PBR is always on special amongst the other good draft selections. Great staff.
Food and Atmosphere were great. The waitress was very friendly. Definitely will be going back 👍
Best wings in Cleveland hands down! Awesome bartenders and a really cool place to come hang out and warm up in the winter. The menu has bit of everything which is great for big groups. Drinks are a bit pricey.
Absolutely one of THE bars/restaurant to go to!! Their food is excellent and you KNOW you are getting very fresh, quality food! The chicken teriyaki sandwich had the sweetest, freshest pineapple on the sandwich (something I have not seen before). They have seasonal menu alongside their regular menu and they change that seasonal every 4 weeks or so, perfect!! They give you VERY generous portions and they have a program where after every 10th visit on lunch (only Thurs, Fri and Saturday lunch is served) you get a $10.00 gift card. The managers name is Melanie who also took care of us both times we went to lunch and she is one of the main reasons we went back. She is so sweet and was very attentive to us through the whole visit. Please give this long time establishment a try, you will NOT be sorry and their tater-tots are to die for, superb!!! We will reach our 10 visits very quickly!!
Best wings in town by a long shot.
Rush inn is our new favorite bar in Lakewood. The mini perogies are top notch!
Best wings around. Whether you grab a dry rub or a saucy concoction these wings are to die for. And they are LARGE. im used to shoving 2 dozen wings into my gullet like its a hobby. But a dozen fills me up. I still get 2 dozen but i get 12 togo. Price isnt bad. Beer is good. Service is great as well. I will say the lakewood location REALLY needs to do something about their bathroom. Super steep, sketchy stairs and a ghetto thrown together closet of a bathroom. The Avon location has a modern atmosphere with live music. In lakewood you get more of a shot and beer vibe. I love both locations!
We just moved into the apartments next door and gave it a try and it was “lit”💯. Everyday specials are pretty nice & really have a warm vibe to it.
Rush inn was good for the fourth of July for me. My sister and I were planning to go elsewhere but the place was closed, and Rush Inn was a great alternative. The older female bar tender was absolutely great served us with cheer and kindness, and even recommended a drink we both tried. The younger server however was not as kind and hung all over what appeared to be a male customer. When I tried to make polite conversation she shut me down and said she worked there in a very rude manner. I left after this encounter and while I loved the bartender, the waitress made it so I didnt want to come back.
Great food, little bit quite atmosphere. Went on a Saturday night around 10PM, not overly crowded. Nachos, Black Velvet, and Conways Irish Ale ran about $20 (drinks were about $5 each). Staff was great, worth tipping 25%
One of the MOST expensive places to eat and drink in this town. Which would be one thing if it didn’t look like 1980 inside with 14 stairs to a bathroom. Owner just ratchets up the prices every year, makes zero improvements, and has ZERO appreciation for loyalty of long standing employees.
Great potato pancakes- some of the best I’ve had. Friendly atmosphere with deep booths. Dinners are a fair price and salads are always fresh.
This is a long-standing local treasure. It may look like a hole in the wall, but youll find it has a surprisingly decent menu - not just your typical bar food! Its also not so loud that you cant hear the conversation youre having, which makes it a great choice if youre meeting up with friends.
I love this place. Super laid back, great friendly service always, and the food is consistently fabulous.
Have been there for lunch a few times and it has always been good food and good service. Was there for drinks after work, and though a different crowd vs lunch, it was still a good experience! Just a great neighborhood bar/pub.
This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. We had burgers and the fish sandwich..fries were amazing. Awesome service from Wendy 👍
Food is incredible for how reasonable the price is. Great selection of food and drinks, very nice staff.
Where do I start...The wings here are quite possibly the answer to world peace. A flavor explosion, rivaled by none other, the chicken that were deemed worthy enough for the pleasure bathing themselves in the nectar of the kitchen-Gods are now free-range behind the pearly gates in Heavens special kitchen. Not only that, but the food is so precious, that my 2 year old manages to close the perpetual-energy machine she calls a mouth from the moment the food is brought out until that last, bittersweet moment her final wing is stripped clean, and a wing graveyard is all that remains.Plus, beer.
WINGS WINGS WINGS! Get them during their special night or any other day of the week. They really are a specialty that cannot be missed. They are crispy and juicy and HUGE! They come by the 1/2 pound, and that could be enough for many. Dont be afraid of the Fat Boy sauce; nacho cheese with BBQ! WOAH
Solid bar, good food, live music with Lakewood finest and now with wetnaps.
My favorite place to grab a beer and a quick meal on the West Side. Service can be a bit hit or miss but overall its not bad. Food is great, atmosphere is very Cleveland, and the drinks are plentiful.
The atmosphere is old, authentic Lakewood... Not any of these shining new expensive places that seem to be the rage. Best wings in town, too! Love it
Good food at a reasonable price. Straight up delicious bar food served by a friendly staff. Convenient neighborhood spot with a good vibe.
I’ve been here multiple times and never had an experience like this. Me and my family are regulars here and we know the long time bar staff, usually we have genie and she is awesome. We had Eric tonight and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant before. He approached us got us drinks everything was all good, up until we ordered. Everyone put in there food order and he went back to the bar talking to other people for quite awhile, we sat with empty drinks for atleast 20 minutes. When he brings our food out (4 people, me, my mother, my aunt, and my friend) he also brings another “to go” box of food for bill. Who is my mothers fiancé and is out of town on a business trip in Illinois, mind you we are in Ohio. Before we even get to say anything he says he has ordered us another salad to go WITHOUT our permission for bill who is not even in the state. Even though we tell him this multiple times he still plays dumb like we are to stupid to notice he is trying to scam us. Fast forward a bit and we are waiting for the check, I will told him in the beginning that me and my friend were going to be separate on one check and my mother and her friend were going to be another check. He comes to the table and insisted it be on one check. Didn’t make me feel very comfortable after the whole salad thing. He brings me a check 39 dollars and some change is my total. Cool no problem, put my card in and he takes it 15 minutes later. Comes back with my card and bill, hands it to my mother. We switch check presenters only to find out that he had taken the original copy of my 39 dollar total out completely and charge me another 15 dollars for the extra salad that he rang in that no one ordered after we told him no multiple times. I ask him to come to the table and question him about why he had taken my original copy out and why my bill had went from 39 to 56 and he started to get mean and angry. He got in my face and spit all over us while he claims he was doing bill a favor. BILL IS NOT IN OHIO. We came here to have a good time with me mom and her friend and Eric ruined it completely, we have been regulars for awhile but WILL NOT be coming back. Don’t come here unless you want to be scammed.
I gave this place one star because I had to give a star to get to the review portion. Its 4 something on a Saturday afternoon and someone is absolutely abusing the touch tunes music player. Playing Bawitdaba and the rest of these Kid Rock songs and such an obscene volume is unacceptable. The staff should really be taking care of this and they dont seem to be bothered. The service otherwise has been great and Im sure the food is ok too, but I wont know because I CANT stick around to find out. Really, Kid Rock..
Nice local bar and restaurant with friendly and comical staff. Bar and booth seating is available and food is pretty good. Heads up but bathrooms are in basement in case you have physical limitations getting up or down stairs.
This is a true tavern Restaurant with daily specials and a great kitchen for wonderful food. I frequent often and I am from near Columbus. Friday is fish and perogies. I recommend highly...
Great food, great service, great prices. One of my new favorite places in Lakewood.
This place is wonderful. Great food. Good music. A nice low key atmosphere where you can actually carry on a conversation with your people.
Wing sauce is typical but the wings are succulent and juicy... Staff is professional
Awesome turkey sammich and fries
The most AMAZING wings and wing night is Tues/Thurs. Be prepared to wait as each order is cooked fresh when you order for amazingly fresh and crisp wings.
Where everybody knows your name. Huge food menu...something for everyone. Ranch dry rub...and Cajun dry rub are my favorite chicken wing flavors.
Food is ok, not really worth the money. The restaurant is very dark with weird lighting and does not seem as clean as it could be. Service was pretty good. Lakewood has way better options.
Really great food! Good atmosphere! Great weekly specials! The wings were fantastic!
Really enjoy coming here. Great food and super friendly staff. Above all, great prices on everything. Not cheap enough to be worrying but absolutely affordable.
Decent place with great wings! Burgers arent the best and service in the back area (room behind the bar), can be slow. Still, Ill go back just for the wings.
The best wings Ive ever had and the service is top notch!
Would not let me pay them more money for substitution on the menu, offered three dollars to not have to eat a onion bun.. could not believe it.. meh service. So many better places to Eat/Drink in Lakewood..
Fun place and friends I was with enjoyed the food.
My go-to bar/restaurant in Lakewood. Super friendly service, great atmosphere and delicious food. The perogi steak marsala is a must try.
Every time I go its wing night and Ive yet to be disappointed. The staff and food and atmosphere are always on point.
Best wings ever!
Went on a Tuesday night and there was a special for 75¢ wings. They were very tasty with the fat boy sauce!
Good soup - both chicken noodle and beef vegetable with lots of beef. Also the turkey club was good. Warm and tasty.
I live on Kenilworth and like the Tavern there. But it is nothing like what happens at the Rush. The Kenilworth has nothing on the food at the Rush. There is no bartender in Lakewood like Jeannie. There is only one place in Lakewood to enjoy yourself and learn a thing or two. That place is the Rush.
Dark, musty smelly bar/ restaurant with a lackluster staff. Taco Monday was a featured special but silly us just assumed that mean they were reduced price...not the case.
Probably the best chicken wings in Lakewood. Theyre jumbo, crispy and all around wonderful. Dont pass up this hidden gem.
Great place to be right before noon on a Saturday!!! Batender is great food always fantastic! College GameDay on what a way to start a day off!!
Great menu! Service was very good. Would definitely come back for the tacos
Eric behind the bar + their wings turned a so-so night into an epic win. He is personally professional and affable. We will certainly be coming back!
The Lakewood equivalent of Cheers. Amazing wings and the staff is easily the best and most friendly in town. A true home away from home.
Never had a bad dish. The Mahi Mahi and brussel sprouts are amazing.
Good food , good service. I you like the local feel this is perfect
If youre going to spend any time in Lakewood, you must go to Rush Inn. Not because anything is spectacular. Its worth it for the atmosphere and the kind bartenders.
Usually good , unfortunately my chili was cold and the wings were fair at best .
Excellent food and laid back atmosphere, its similar to the equivalent of a Westside Spats. Ill definitely be back.
I never had a had experience here... Great service, excellent food, a place I can meet my family and have lunch or dinner
Nice place with friendly service. Food can take awhile to come out of the kitchen, but its always hot.
Really good food, bartenders are friendly and make you feel welcome.
Melanie is the sweetest person and makes every visit so pleasurable. We look forward to going every time
Great wings! Best in Lakewood! Other food is good also.
You cant beat their wings and Im pretty sure they season the fries with crack! So good!
The food is good, but the service took longer than I expected. Great environment to be in eith friends.
Excellent food here. You must order the potato pancakes with anything. Top notch staff
Kim D was AWESOME :)
Great food every time we go
Nice food and great service. Nice decor inside. Would definitely visit again.
Great fish and chips. Very friendly environment and staff.
Best wings in Lakewood. Great drink specials during local sports teams games
Great service and a pretty damn good $6 burger
Ten dollars for three pierogies,t hey were dry w /out butter. Very disappointed! Wont go back! The prices they charge is not worth it.
Never had a bad meal, drink, or service at this place. Best stop in Lakewood!
Lovely atmosphere with great service & food. Best bartenders in town.
Some of the best wings around. Much better than the national chains.
Go for the wings if nothing else go for the wings they are amazing and delicious and seasoned to perfection I am in awe
Great bar food and with a decent amount of craft beers and tap and in bottles. Cozy.
Great food and even better service highly recommended..the rush in draws a great crowd
Great bar if youre over 35. Low key. Not so loud that you cant talk
My favorite are the garlic parmasean wings! I think they are the best in Lakewood and thats some stiff competition.
Delicious affordable food, awesome specials, and amazing people!
Great food and loved the service! Will definitely come back!
Low key bar/restaurant. Sport tvs. Good menu, good foods. Super staff.
My barbecue chicken sandwich didnt have the right stuff on it and the buffalo chicken dip was very watery with chicken at the bottom
Food, service and environment were all amazing! Two thumbs up.
Excellent wings, possibly the best around. Service was good and friendly.
Great wings. Now, if only the owner would get his head out of his ass and care for his staff.
Great local bar with friendly servers and relaxed atmosphere!
Had a wonderful time and a delicious Rush Burger. I highly recommend it

2022-07-31I’m not sure if I didn’t have wings in a long time or if these are the best wings I’ve had in my wife. The wings were so juicy and tasty. Although the portions of fries were tiny, they were goods. I ordered ten honey bbq wings and fries, and my bill was $19. The seating was a bit uncomfortable, but overall great experience and great food. I will return againIf you find this review helpful, please leave a thumbs up🙃

2022-04-30This has become our Friday night Tavern experience. Really dig the locals vibe, friendly service and a delicious perch dinner with OMG mini potato pancakes. The appetizers and chili are both winners, too. We were hapoh as frogs.

2022-05-22When I say this place was delicious the wings had a crisp to it my husband ordered the Cajun dry rub and I ordered the shrimp alfredo that all the way to the garlic toast the food was absolutely delicious although they did not have Coke any type of drinking beverage related to pop soda she said the CO2 was out however the service the food was absolutely amazing and we were just in the area at the beach and I googled a good place to eat wings this place when I read the reviews seemed pretty cool and it did not disappoint you must go!!!!!💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

2022-07-23Their wings are the best. They come breaded or naked with a variety of sauces. Their RusInn sald is also very good.
Review №7
2020-03-07Cozy environment for a nice night out in a Lakewood staple. The aromna of garlic and fried food made for a Friday fish fry. Perogies with French onion dip was phenomenal. The FISH FRY was better than the fish and chips. Great drafts and company.

2022-07-23Friendly service, great menu and theyre open late. Low key vibe, highly recommend
Review №9
2022-03-03Tasty food but absolutely horrible service. Bartender/waitress was too busy doing shots with the staff and friends at the bar to attend to us. When she did, forgot our drinks and our food. I had to tell her what we ordered for our bill. Embarrassingly bad. This place has unfortunately gone way downhill.

2022-01-31My wife and I had an impromptu date night when we were able to get a last minute baby-sitter. Mazzi was our server and she was nothing short of amazing!! She was attentive, sweet and just overall darling! The food was soooo yummy too! We will definitely be back to see Mazzi and try something else delicious from the menu!!
