What reviewers say about Flat Iron Cafe
People say this Irish restaurant serves fabulous wings, burgers, and salads. They highlight the reasonable prices and lively pub atmosphere. They also like the friendly and attentive staff.
“Quaint yet busy Irish pub restaurant that my friend and I stopped by before going to a Cavs game. The drink menu is vast and fairly priced, and the food is a decent mix of classic American Gastropub with some Irish/British Isles flourishes. I got a chicken sandwich that was good overall, and was fairly priced for the amount of food. I was especially pleased with the service, from the very friendly bartender who also took our order, to the woman driving the shuttle bus that picked us up halfway to the arena when we decided to walk. They were all very busy with weekend traffic, but were still super helpful and friendly.”
“We had a wonderful experience at The Flat Iron Cafe in the Flats. We just visited the Cleveland Aquarium and were looking for some place close to eat. It was less than a 5 minute walk to The Flat Iron Cafe. My husband ordered a cheesesteak sandwich and I had a panini style sandwich and they were both great! The service was excellent at the atmosphere is very inviting! We will be back!”
“Mango habanero wings were delicious. Wings were meaty. Burger was up there, "best eaten in awhile". The shepherd's pie had flavor. I think there is some room for improvement on it though. It came piping hot & the garlic broccoli was good.”
