Fisher’s Cafe & Pub

My hubby and I love Fishers! We’re from Cincinnati and come to this area often. We make it a point to come here a few times whenever we’re in the area. Best chili and burgers ever, love the employees and atmosphere as well.

We thought we should give this family fav another try almost a year later… So we went in yesterday for lunch. Had a great time! Burger was great and the chili was good. Server in the café was very attentive. Maybe I caught them on a bad night a year ago :/.

Casual pub with a nice patio in the summer. Great location by the Towpath Trail and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway. Food is good and reasonably priced. Love their eggplant fries, cheap crab legs, ribs and more.

You know this has been a Pennisula staple since I can rememer my parents taking me here! In the heart of a small town intersection is great Fisher’s Café and Pub. Sectioned off you can be seated in the family lounge area for dinner or the sports bar loung area to get a few brews in you. Fisher’s is the place because they offer full lobster boils and awesome clam bakes! Great during harvest season!!! Line out the door to get one of these precious seats.

Horrible service and the restaurant is not very inviting. Too Bright and wooden benches. Waitress kept forgetting to bring stuff and wrong drinks. The food was pretty good. Wouldn’t go back. Go across the street.

Can you say slower than a turtle. Plenty of staff just wandering around. I will never return

Went on Wednesday for the $ 14.98 lobster. Very poor, stringy, very little lobster meat. Two of our friends ordered burgs and were sick all night. Quite disappointed!

Food: Very good
Service: Excellent
Ambience: Very good
This place looks and feel like a local watering hole in the Midwest. The servers are friendly and polite and attentive. It was a crowded Saturday afternoon and we walked in with a large group and they were so accommodating. They have outdoor seating and live music outside.
I loved their eggplant fries and they are a must have. Their regular fries are awesome too. Their wings were perfectly cooked and juicy I recommend Cajun and Spicy garlic.
Their cod sandwich was nice but I wish it had a little more seasoning.
Overall a great experience.
Just a tip they are located in a charming little town with live music on every corner even outside the lumber yard.

Came in after work looking for nice patio to have a drink or two, apps and casual dinner. They were out of beers we wanted on draft and only specials on menu weren’t starting until the following week. Ordered the chips and spicy queso app but it came out with just shredded cheese. Pico de gallo was good but chips were super super greasy like they had been pre-​fried, and then fried again. Tried the fish taco app as well which was ok although there was nothing more to them than mango salsa and some fish. Would have been much better in a soft taco than a hard half stale shell. Bacon blue burger was again just ok however was up charged $ 2 for a side salad the size of 8 bites without being told by the server. Service was just ok. Breakfast menu looked promising, but overall would not return.

Good food with a long wait and disorganized seating. We came here for lunch (great wings and friendly waitresses, however we were forced to wait outside for 15 minutes. I wouldn’t have minded waited inside and been offered beverages and that way have been in the ac. In this temperature it was hellish sitting outside for a long period of time. However, once inside, we were provided excellent customer service. If the restaurant allowed waiting inside, it would get 5 stars. However, knowing my experience, it gets a three.

I went here with my family on a Monday night. While the patio was pretty nice the inside just looked kinda dingy. We got there and the server was just so blah. She never smiled, she only asked us what we wanted to drink and what we wanted to eat. Literally.
She never told us the specials, never suggested anything. We waited alot. After she took our drink order, she had someone drop or drinks off and then that was it. No one told us that she would be right back to take our order, that our server was a little busy, she would be right with us, nothing. If she was busy, I would totally understand and she may have been, but no one told us anything, no one smiled, she never once hustled, or made it look like she was busy. After she took our order, we waited again for our food. The food was pretty good. But it was just a completely lack luster experience with both the service and the interior inside, I probably would never go again.

I would give this place 3.5 stars. We sat outside on the patio in July, which was fairly nice. I don’t think I’d want to sit inside. They had a very large menu with lots to choose from. We ordered the red pepper hummus, which was pretty good. The man got the Raider burger which he made disappear fairly quickly, so he must have liked it well enough. I ordered the California chicken sandwich, which I thought tasted good. I was excited to try the eggplant fries, since I like eggplant and didn’t want French fries. They were a tad greasy for me, but I thought they tasted good with the Wasabi Cucumber sauce. The food came fast and service was good.
Suggestions for improvement would be to remove the yellow placemat menus from the tables when we were eating and have to servers dress up a little bit more. Like in jeans or jean shorts with the t-​shirts. They looked like they were all in workout clothes and it distracted me from my food. After getting a look from the man whom I was dictating to, he added my commentary «It’s my review, and that’s how I feel.» Yep.
The bill seemed a little high for sandwiches at lunchtime, but it was very convenient with a visit to scenic Peninsula and a ride on the scenic railroad. Overall, I would go back and try it again one more time. And yes our server thanked us for coming (regarding another Unilocaler’s comment.)

Nice place in Peninsula across from The Winking Lizard. They have daily specials, I got the Gyro lunch (Wednesday). We ate on the patio area and it was very nice. I think they need to get a new sign, as it is a bit dated, but overall a nice (small) change of scenery from The Winking Lizard (but I still like the Lizard a bit better).

We have only eaten there at breakfast and love it! Their biscuits are awesome! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can take quite a while to get your food, and no one ever says goodbye or thank you when we leave.

Worst ever. Food was mediocre, and my friend got food poisoning.

Enjoyed our lunch here very much after visiting Cuyahoga national park. We had a lovely and very attentive server Jessica T. We tried a new appetizer, homemade potato chips dusted with dry ranch rub and served with a Texas ‘boom boom’ sauce! Fabulous and addicting! California sandwich with chicken, avocado, and cilantro aioli was really good! Hubby got chicken portobello and pepper sandwich on a kaiser bun with really fun and tasty eggplant fries with a cucumber and wasabi sauce! The service really was excellent, but the menu is really too big with way too many selections! It is a local family owned business versus a chain, which we liked. Located very central in the park and we liked the choice of eating outside or in!

Great little lunch spot. The spinach salad with home made raspberry vinaigrette is awesome!

There’s a lot to look over on the menu here. There are daily lunch and dinner specials. They are $ 5.99 & $ 6.99. Except for prime Rib on Saturday 10oz got $ 12.95. There’s also a special board, well it’s actually a clip board. I went with mom, who was all in a their salads.
her choice was a strawberry mandarin salad. It has fruit mixed in (like it should) but nothing that jumps out at you. The dressing was accented by demi glaze on outside of bowl. I opted for the French dip sandwich and tried the «deluxe» chili. when you add sour cream and cheese to chili it became deluxe. when you add so much sour cream and cheese you lose the chili flavor it’s not a good thing. I wouldn’t do it again. but the French dip was very good. The meat was cut in small chunks and the au jus had rosemary added to it. It was a nice mix. beware there is a lot of salt in au jus, so dip carefully.
All said decent place. I did get recommendations from server. Server was good. Middle of week was a small crowd.

This place was terrible.
Have always seen the parking lot filled, and there was a wait when we went there, so we expected with all the interest that it would be good.
There was a short wait, but a table opened up quickly. Once seated it took over ten minutes before our server ever first introduced herself. We ordered drinks and appetizers, then it took another 15-​minutes after that before we ever got an order in. Come on, that’s ridiculous.
We then learn that the appetizer order was never entered. God, I wish it wasn’t, because when the baked pretzel bits arrived, we quickly realized these were microwaved-​frozen pretzel bits. That looked exactly like the Soft Baked brand from Sam’s club. They were served extremely hot, and it was clear they were microwaved as some were still stuck together.
About 15 – 20 minutes after that the main entrees finally arrived, and they weren’t much better. As my lovely wife described, «it looks like your sandwich was run over,» and it did. The bun was either super flimsy, or someone in the heart of the house thought it would be funny to smash it with their AF1s.
At one point I had to ask for a refill. The server grabbed my cup from the table to refill it, leaving me parched. That’s bush league. Grab a fresh glass and bring it to the table, then swap out the empty one.
Their chicken was surprisingly fresh tasting, and perfectly cooked, but their fries were a major disappointment. They were clearly frozen, and they had an unnatural starchy coating that were devoid of flavor. Seriously, it’s cheaper and more effective for a restaurant to simply use fresh potatoes for their fries… I can’t believe any restaurant would let anything other than fresh fries out of their kitchen. I won’t in my own home kitchen, so why would they?
As we walked out my wife said perhaps they appear busy because they get so many people that can’t get a table across the street at the Winking Lizard. God, I hope that’s not true. That’s so sad that the best a restaurant can do is pick up the scraps from the Lizard.
