Trader Jack's Riverside Grille

"Very underwhelmed. I was so excited for this place. Maybe dine in is the way to go. I ordered the half slab rib dinner, it came with fries, coleslaw and a roll. Presentation is not exciting. Hardly any sauce on my ribs and no extra sauce on the side. My fries were pretty good but they're fries. Coleslaw was quite warm. Not sure if that's the norm for this place. I ate it anyway, I'll know if I get sick tomorrow whether or not it should have been cool. The atmosphere for pickup sucked. You walk into a crowd of people. Some waiting on tables others picking up food, others drunk and screaming in your ear about paying their tab. It's definitely a bar vibe at 7 pm on a Friday. Service was meh. The girls at the register don't greet customers in the order they arrive. They take care of the regulars first. Very fake friendly vibe. The portion size on my coleslaw was also ridiculous. It's in a jello shot cup. $30 after tip and I feel just as underwhelmed as I do at most food establishments post covid. I was hoping I found a hidden treasure but I was mistaken. Its highly unlikely that ill be coming back. But if I did i really wanted to try the bourbon chicken and I'd dine in for sure during the day. Final verdict: not the worst experience I've had but not a positive experience either. It's a meh."

"Food is always great here, and when it gets warm out, they have the best patio around. Top notch lobster bisque as well!"

"Have never had a bad meal here. The perch and shrimp is very good. Burgers are great! Hungarian Pepper pizza is delicious. Nice patio on the Chagrin River."

"Delicious food and just a great vibe all around. My husband and I got chicken fingers for an app and they did not disappoint. Our Jack burgers and fries were wonderful. Fast service even though it was busy. We sat outside on their covered patio which was fun! I also like their wait system. We had to wait for a table which is fine (it was a saturday), but you can see where you are in line and how long you’ve waited. It’s cool."

"I'm pretty critical when it comes to reviews you either get an amazing one or terrible one or nothing if its the way it should be that's just expected lets be honest. We recently have gotten into hot sausage pepper subs, appetizers and thought we would give the Freds Hot Sausage Pepper Pizza a try via take out! 1st of all the ingredients are top notch, from the crust, cheese, sauce to the sausage and peppers, quality is top notch. Taste was out of this world, very spicy but perfect because if you order this lets face it, its a spicy dish anyone who doesn't like spicy shouldn't eat it. However, if you do this won't disappoint, in fact local pizza places need to step up their game!! Perfect pizza, presentation was great, the bake time nothing was over done or gooey either, everything was spot on!! Great job don't change a thing!!!"
