Whenever I am in Chardon I love to stop at this quaint coffee shop. The employees are very friendly and the tea and chai were great. So much nicer than the chain coffee shops. I love sitting outside enjoying the view of Chardon square. Will return on my next trip.

This place is always hopping! The place to meet in Chardon, they have good food and service. I just wish that they would have built a Brazier DQ in Chardon instead, with so few decent restaurants to eat at...

Upscale ambience overlooking Chardon Courthouse. Menu is very varied - difficult to not find something to like...extensive beer and wine offerings complete the picture.

Bass Lake Tavern

Reviewed By truebearing - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is one of our favorite spots for lunch or dinner when we are in the Chardon area. The lunch selection is very good. Great sandwiches and soups. For dinner they have an outside patio area with a covered bar and tables with umbrellas. This outside bar area is quite popular and a nice way to mingle with the friendly local folks. The food is good .... the bar service is special. You can't go wrong here.

Open since just September 2015, this place has become a regular stop for my family. We don't eat junk fast food - this is fast but most definitely NOT JUNK! Our favorite smoothies are the Peachy Green, the Tropical, and many different combinations of "choose your own ingredients". This is not a sugar-filled carton poured into ice, it's fresh and frozen fruit, juice, your choice of greek yogurt or almond or soy or coconut milk, greens, made exactly your way! Salads are very nice - I always choose a bunch of ingredients and top with chicken. We love the soups, a very flavorful rotation, different every day.
This is a cheerful, colorful little joint, with just a few tables (we always take to go anyway). However, it's not very visible from the street unless you know what you're looking for. It needs a sign closer to the street. It's between a small plaza and Weidig's Floral, set back from the road just a bit. Across the street is the Plaza with Joey's Restaurant. I truly hope this little business survives!

great atmosphere, excellent coffe and healthy food options.. and the best chocolate around! You can buy chocolates by the pound and they also have gift baskets. The chocolate covered potato chips are the BEST! The also have local musicians some evenings in the winter. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Reviewed By FAWBORO - Chardon, Ohio

This is the cutest little joint on the Square in Chardon! And you can bring your own alcohol which is awesome! But I think the prices are high and I've never been in when the wait hasn't been longer than I think it should be!...MoreFelice thank you for your positive comments,one correction we are not BYOB butane do offer a variety of craft beers and a good selection of wines. Our pies do take awhile to bake due to the quantity/quality of our locally sourced toppings. Again Thank You.

A group of us visited this restaurant after playing pickel ball at the Y on Friday. Our waitress was very efficient taking orders and keeping everything in order for our large table.
Everyone was happy with their orders, ribs, burgers, wings, pizza. All was delicious. Hope to go back and have the bar b q ribs.

El Patron

Reviewed By Casi V - Roaming Shores, Ohio, United States

Predictably fast, friendly service and great, hot food. Good for watching sports games if you sit at the bar and don't mind no sound. Chips and salsa are bottomless and homemade. Takeout and bar service is very slow, table service is not though. I've seen lot of large parties celebrating here as well.

Joey's Italian Grill

Reviewed By Echosams - Chardon, Ohio

Decent food, on the expensive side for what you get. Kids meals are really pricy and very tiny (think toddler size). When kids meals are pricy and small it really "hurts" drawing in families like us as it becomes too costly to feed a family of 5 off the adult menu. We also sat on their new outdoor patio and while the doors were all rolled up it was stuffy...they need ceiling fans to move air and a better way to keep the afternoon sun out of your eyes.
