Winking Lizard Tavern

Good servings for the price. We ordered full rack ribs and the bbq chicken. The ribs was a little bony but the meat was soft. The chicken tasted good but was a bit dry for my liking. The sides were good! - rice, broccoli, beans and slaw. They have several options of draft beer and the staff can recommend a good one based on what you usually drink so that's a plus. I probably won't eat here again but it's worth a try if you haven't been here before - recommend!

Fantastic dinner here, was quite crowded and loud but the food made up for the atmosphere. My friends and I (25) of us, enjoyed this local hangout. Fire pit was great to have a smoke and get warm. Staff was fantastic, our server 👏 got all orders correct plus we were on separate checks. Thanks folks for a wonderful time.

I've been here several times over the years and it's a comfort location as the service is always good, the food is great (especially the wings), and they have a large selection of beer. The most I've waited is about 30 minutes on a warm, sunny day, but that has been the absolute exception. Recommend the garlic bread burger, any of the wings, and a local brew like the Christmas Ale (with the cinnamon rim) or Bumbleberry. Parking is usually plentiful but if the lot is full on a busy day, there are other options right down the road in one of the lots.

We stopped in here between hockey games for a quick lunch. I like the layout of the place especially the bar. They seemed to have a lot of drink options even though I couldn't have any there was plenty of options. The service was very so so with our waitress not seeming like she wanted to even be there. She was attentive but kind of had an attitude so maybe she was having a bad day. The food also was nothing to rave about. The chicken seemed pre cooked and very very dry. I guess for a quick bite it was okay, but won't be back plenty of other options.

Winking lizard is a local chain restaurant, that is usually great. Food is usually good and service is always fast and polite. This time we were not that happy with the food because the ribs were not juicy and they were overcooked. The ribs also did not have enough bbq sauce on them. It was very crowded and very loud, so we had to lean across the table and shout at each other. We were also extremely cold and kept our coats on during dinner. This location is just off Rockside Rd, right next to I77, in Independence. It is a sports bar atmosphere with a few different large rooms. They do not have booths at this location but you can get either a high top or a low top table.
