New American, Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars, Menu

1992 Warrensville Center Rd., S. Euclid Eastern Suburbs

Cajun/Creole

Owner, chef, host, server, bartender, and busser: Junior Battiste really does it all.

BD's Mongolian Grill

1854 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

216-932-1185

Asian/Indian/Middle Eastern, Menu

BD's takes the salad-bar concept one step beyond: Rather than just assembling a plate of greens, you choose from an assortment of raw meats and vegetables, douse them with flavored oils and sauces, sprinkle on an assortment of spices, nuts, and seasonings, and hand the whole shebang over to cooks manning an enormous 600-degree steel grill. Recipe cards are provided for the unimaginative.
Bearden's

19985 Lake Rd., Rocky River Western Suburbs

440-331-7850

American

Since 1948, this casual diner has been a part of West-Side life: so long, most residents can't recall a time when it wasn't dishing up burgers, onion rings, and milkshakes. A recent closure gave management the time to renovate the entire space, resulting in a fresh, vintage-tinged design that neatly fits with the retro menu. Here, thin, diner-style burgers, crisp onion rings, and thick milkshakes rule the roost. Fried clam fans will find some of the best in town.
Blind Pig Speakeasy

American

A snug little hideaway just behind the Q, Cleats is part of a rapidly growing local chain of sports bars. Wings are the kitchen's claim to fame, but we've got our eyes on the fries — fresh-cut cuties so good, we sometimes order them without the cheese and bacon.

Subs/Sandwich Shop, Menu

As at the other Dave's locations, the decor inside this cosmic sub shop is a shrine to the ’60s, full of rock references, hippie music, and good vibrations. The overstuffed subs rock too, built from top-notch ingredients piled inside a crisp-crusted Italian roll. The place is packed at lunch, carryout is strongly recommended and if you are pressed for time, calling ahead would be a grand idea.
