The service is terrible here. We have eaten there on many ocassions and the service is always slow and uncaring. If we get pretzel appetizers they are always over microwaved. Nothing good to say about this place but the decor is spacious and pleasant. The bar area is like a sports bar. The dining area is bright and roomy.

We have eaten at several of the Cleats in our area. They are a typical sports bar menu with not good food. The service has been slow which is why we tried different ones, hoping it was just a bad day. We have tried different menu items, my husband likes wings and have tried a few different sauces, but he... More

I used to work at Cleats in Chesterland and they went out of business...I have been missing the food so we decided to stop into Chardon, we ordered wings...2 dry rubs and 2 sauce flavors...the dry rubs were terribly salty, so much so that I couldn't eat them, the Kentucky Bourbon sauce used to have such a nice flavor...these tasted...

Cleats has very good food. But if your not sitting at the bar, the service for tables is very unpredictable. Usually very slow with what seems like inexperienced wait staff. We do like the menu and will probably continue to go there and hope for the best with the service.

Their are TVs all around which is nice, they also have Keno set up so you can play. They have good food at reasonable prices. The service is okay. They do not sing for birthday parties. Good local place for lunch or to watch a sports game.

Food I'd always good, staff is always friendly. You might not always be on the mood for a sports bar, but if you are, Clears fits the bill. We're lucky to have one in Chardon.

Nothing wrong but just so-so or ho-hum or run of the mill or just what you'd expect. Nothing bad and nothing good. Just as soon eat what's in the fridge at home. Not a fan as you can see.

It's a good local sports bar. The bartenders are usually great. The bar is usually full. The food is good but it's hard to get consistent food here. I have no complaints and go there occasionally. I would say it is more adult oriented but I do see kids there.
