Always great for takeout, I got the Buffalo Chicken wrap with fries, the food has been consistent and it's cooked fast
it's been a while but they are holding the name of winking lizard up to high esteem. Ask for the discount drink menu. It was quite surprising. It's a party in here. Was a busy night in restaurant but an absolute good time.
Their garlic cheese bread is delicious! My fave thing to get here is their boneless wings and their house salad! My kids love that they have a popcorn machine :) its a great place to watch a sports game and grab a bite to eat.
Decided to get a late dinner on a Wednesday night. Arrived at 8:30 and it was slow but all the staff were ready to serve as they completed their side work. My wife and I ordered burgers. I had the Blue Shroom Burger that was good. It had melted blue cheese and bacon and grilled mushrooms and a side of steak fries. Lots of TVs to watch games and it wasn't too loud being a late Wednesday. Served quick and the bartender was pleasant and relatively attentive.
My friend and I went for the clam bake. It was my first time at a Winking Lizard. It will not be my last. We both got the clam bake with lobster tails. It was FANTASTIC!! $40.00 are you kidding me. In today's world, that is a deal. It started with New England clam chowder. It was excellent. Then we got the clams, also excellent. Then the lobster tails (X2) came out with the potato, I chose the sweet potato, an ear of corn and cheesy garlic bread. It was so much food I took home the corn & bread. This honestly was the best bake I've ever had. Our server was Larry. He was very nice and attentive. The manager, Joe then came out and chatted with us. Overall a great experience, dinner, wine, etc. All I can say is what a treat! We will be back next year. Thank you Winking Lizard Avon.
Love their wings and atmosphere. It is one of my favorite places to go eat. I always have good service there, no matter which restaurant I go to.
This local dive bar is just the thing we were looking for in the clevland area. Service, from Larry, our waiter was awesome, and he made sure we had everything we needed at a time. Pricing was very affordable and nice size portions. Interior atmosphere and one side was a bar area, and the other side of the live iguana was a quieter ambiance. I went with Honey Thai wings, and my wife went with another spicy wing sauce. our friend went with Tennessee hot, and one went with the special fried ravioli. with an order of their St Louis BBQ ribs. Each was perfectly cooked, and they were some meaty wings and meaty ribs that fell off the bone and very tasty. Each sauce was very good and enjoyed trying the side of their homemade BBQ sauce. TVs everywhere and some games in a space for the kids (and me) with a nice full bar! Thanks, Larry, for making this our new favorite in Avon!
Mmm... delicious! I recently had the pleasure of dining here a couple times and both times I had an excellent experience. I ordered a grilled cheese and fries the first time, and then the next time I ordered a cheeseburger and fries w/ their magnificent bbq sauce. I love the quality of the food here -- everything was cooked to perfection. I couldn't have been more pleased with my meals. I also love the fact they have coca-cola freestyle. I don't usually like the coca-cola products, but when a company has the freestyle with different shot of flavors to add to the drink, it makes it so much better! In addition to the delicious food and drink, each time the service at the restaurant was top-notch. The staff were attentive and friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a wonderful dining experience. I used to go to winking lizard most exclusively with my parents back in the day when they were located further east on Detroit Rd, which seemed much bigger and nicer, but nevertheless, still as delicious as it used to be.
