Sports Fanatics Grille - Willowick

The kitchen service was horrible. Before we could even order, we were told that they didn't have the shrimp. We ordered only to have the waitress tell us that they didn't have bread for the corned beef sandwiches, only buns. A while later, we were told that they only had 1/3 of the 4 half lbs of boneless wings we ordered which we had to order half lbs at a higher price because they wouldn't split the order for two different sauces. Once we finally received some actual food, it was mediocre. The nachos, which were $11, had no cheese sauce, just a sprinkle of shredded cheese that of course became hard. It was dry. The Carolina gold tasted nothing like Carolina gold and the other wings, honey mustard and honey barbecue, were bland. The tater tots were the best thing. There was no offer from management or the server to comp any of the bill, though we weren't charged for the two sides of ranch we asked for with our wings. I will never return.

Mmmm love this place! Has a very clean environment. The servers are really good with their service! Lots of sports decor, it reminds me of a local BWW. Good bar!! Food is really tasty too, also the best place to host a fundraiser or party :

I was excited to check this place out while on business in the Cleveland area. The reviews all seemed so positive, especially with the draft selection. Well, I was highly disappointed. The beer selection was lame. Cleveland is really growing around the craft beer industry and I expected to find some good local choices. My best option was a Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold, which I can get just about anywhere. This tap seemed a little warm. Now, just so the Clevelanders who read this do not think I am biased, I grew up close to Cleveland. I attended many an Indians game and was fortunate enough to meet Mark Price back in the day. I even spent a lot of time at Richfield Coliseum watching the Force and the Crunch. So I am not some guy from Cincinnati coming into town to bash on the Cleveland people. But, if you are going to call your place Sports Fanatics, you should have more options on the televisions. All but one T.V. was tuned to the Indians game where they were getting trounced by Seattle. The other tube had a replay of the Cavs game from the night before. There are more than those two sports going on right now. How about some Stanley Cup Hockey Finals?!?!?! I also agree with an earlier post that the servers wearing Cheerleader Outfits is a little outdated. It did, however, show off some of their impressive ink.

There is nothing, I repeat nothing 'fanatical ' about TRYING to watch an Indians game here. This was my second attempt to watch baseball at sports fanatics . Sure, they have team stuff on the walls and the bar staff wear ref shirts but let me tell you: you will not hear a game here. Instead you 'll get hip hop, Top 40 music blasting from the jukebox. The songs include such sport themed lyrics about I wanna **** her , smack it on the dance floor and other game time pep songs. If you want to be a bar that plays top 40 music has TVs on in the background go ahead, people enjoy that, but don 't refer to yourself as a Sports Bar when you can 't hear any commentary about local sports games. The bar tenders might want to drink a cup of coffee or 2 before their shifts: apathy indifference to non regular customers isn 't a way to get more than a 10% tip.

Great happy hour and game day specials and prices. Plus great daily and lunch specials. Also the staff is friendly and very attentive.
