FlipSide

Oh man, this place may have been the best find in 2016 so far. My colleague and I were in town for work and after a quick search found FlipSide and boy am I glad we did!
This is such a cool bar /​restaurant. You walk in and while small has such a great vibe. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender. They had a lot of AMAZING local beers, which I will alone come back for. The bartender was nice enough to put on the NHL playoffs.
I had the burger and sweet potato fries, and my colleague had the chorizo mac and cheese and house made potato chips. I was blown. away. by everything we got. In particular the chorizo mac and cheese. It was SO delicious.
All in all I’d say definitely worth a trip in the area.

Don’t eat here. They have a discrimination policy in place that restricts people of a certain age.

UHHH. I have come to realize that while the burgers are good (just ate the turkey burger one) it’s the sweet potato fries that keep me coming back. Love the horseradish dipping sauce that comes with it.
They need to work on their burger making skills. Had a black and blue burger with all of the cheese on one side. So it went from «where is the cheese» to «WHOA too much cheese!».
Spend some time evening out things. Spread the cheese. Give love to your burger. Okay?

French flip was fabulous. Macaroni and cheese had a great sauce with the brisket but was a bit undercooked.

Went with my older son for a late lunch. Heard so many good things we were super interested. Picky son ordered a plain burger. I ordered a cheeseburger. They do not come with sides, so we ordered plain fries which are served with delicious herbs. Yum. We loved the fries which came out first. The hamburgers followed. They are a nice size and I did not finish mine. My son did. The burgers were good, but the hype did not live up to the burgers. The servers were good and attentive. The bill for water, one plain hamburger and one cheeseburger and a side of fries was $ 22 plus. Place was packed so even though I think the price point is high, obviously the crowd tells me that this is not the case. I suppose it is chagrin falls… Anyways, been there done that– most likely won’t do it again.

Always great. Very accommodating with vegetarians, gluten free. Good food and friendly service.

Probably the best burgers we tried in Cleveland. Onion rings were on point and truffle fries were redunk. Service was great during Saturday lunch time. Definitely a place to eat at more than once.

Craving a great burger? Don’t pass this place up. This FlipSide is located on the main strip in Chagrin Falls where Joey’s used to be, near Yours Truly. Step inside and the interior is all decked out in dark wood. It’s a small place with not too many tables. There is a nice bar nestled in here. We got lucky and sat right down with no wait.
My friend ordered the FlipSide burger. I got the Chili Pepper burger and we shared a side of the triple fried fries. These are some seriously well stacked high quality burgers. Locally sourced beef seared and cooked to perfection. My Chili Pepper burger was amazing with the pickled jalapenos, onion rings and slathered Sriracha sauce. I was a little worried that all the heat would throw the taste of beef but that wasn’t the case. All the flavors worked just fine together. I did pull the onion rings to the side to eat them separately. The triple cooked fries were extra crispy seasoned with salt and herbs. No ketchup needed.
The service was first class. Our waitress kept our soft drinks topped off. The food was superb. I put this place up there with B Spot.

Love this place. Solid food, and great service.
This has taken over B-​Spot as my favorite burger spot. Sorry Chef Symon.

I’m going to start off this review by saying that I have searched high and low for a burger that rivals that of FlipSide, and I truly cannot find one.
FlipSide has an extensive menu and something for almost everyone, but trust me — the only burger you’ll ever need is the FlipSide Burger. It includes everything I love on a burger: aged cheddar cheese, thick Applewood smoked bacon, grilled red onions, lettuce, tomato, and a house-​made barbecue sauce that is to die for. The barbecue sauce is both sweet and salty, and is a perfect complement to the sharpness of the cheddar cheese. I would eat this sauce with a spoon; it is so addictive! I’ve tried other burgers on the menu, but I always return to this one. The beef at FlipSide is locally sourced from Ohio-​raised cattle, and you can really taste the difference in terms of freshness. I can’t say enough good things about FlipSide’s burgers. An easy five stars.
The French fries are also delicious, as the rosemary on top provides a unique flavor. The shakes are fantastic as well (if you have room for one after your meal — hah!).
People in Pittsburgh think that Burgatory or BRGR have great burgers, but clearly they have never been to a FlipSide. All other burgers are now entirely unsatisfactory to me. Thank you, FlipSide, for sending my burger expectations through the roof and prohibiting me from enjoying them almost anywhere else!

Good burgers and a vast selection. Prices are ok and the beer selection is great. Parking is a hassle but the service was great.

Stopped at this location when I was in Cleveland and really enjoyed the atmosphere and family environment. The food and service am were great and the prices were very reasonable considering the quality /​quantity of what we got. I’ll go back here again when I’m in the area next.

There is a beautiful waterfall nearby.
Great date spot if you’re not from the area.
The town looks like anywhere small town america, USA.
I got the hometown root beer. It was pretty good.
Flipside Burger: it has a barbecue sauce to it. I enjoyed it. Very generous size.
My girlfriend got the «One Red Door Burger.» She enjoyed the shallot and the date aioli. She thought it was literally one of the best burgers she has had.
We got the Triple cooked fries With Truffle Oil/​Grana Pandana Cheese. They were awesome!
Overall Impression:
All in all, this place is great. I’d come back again. For sure.

Just the draft beer selection alone deserves a 5 star rating. Always a few up-​and-​coming beers to try as well as other solid beers. Burgers are always delicious. Domt believe the hype on the mac and cheese. It is not that great. One of these days I will branch out beyond the Flip side burger and try the Grouper or the Veggie burger. Bar service is always great and friendly. We dig this place.

We live up the street from Chagrin Falls and we’re in the village about 2 – 3 times a week, but somehow we never made it to FlipSide, until the other day. I never order burgers in restaurants, but during our visit, it felt wrong not to try the burgers. I went with the FlipSide Burger to truly get the real experience. My daughter ordered a plain cheeseburger and my husband had the Mikey burger.
This was the greatest cheeseburger I’ve ever eaten in my life.
It was juicy, the flavors of the onions with the burger and the cheese and bacon were just phenomenal. It was such a joy to eat. I can’t even put it into words that can do it justice. I was reeling from how delicious this was — and while I’m no burger connoisseur, I would take a FlipSide burger over any other burger in town, including B Spot. (Sorry, Michael Symon!)
Beyond the amazing burgers, the milkshakes were awesome and the mini corndogs were tasty (we ate a lot of food).
Lastly, the service was impeccable. We showed up on a busy lunch hour and we were surprised to get a table immediately. Our waitress, who was also the person who sat us, was incredibly accommodating even when we brought a newborn baby and a four-​year-​old with us. She was extremely friendly and super fast. The whole experience was fantastic all around.

Lame version of the B-​Spot. Yeah they have some good beers and OK burgers, but all the hype is just that, hype. Might be good if you have kids and they only eat 3 things and throw a tantrum if they don’t get burgers… in which case you will need the beers.

Overall: Didn’t live up to the hype – and I was hungry.
Food: Had the kobe beef corn dogs, forester burger, and truffle fries. Corn dogs were probably the highlight of the meal: the cornmeal coating was perfectly light and crispy. Truffle fries were nice and well-​seasoned. Unfortunately, the burger was lackluster. The bun was soft and quickly became soggy. The burger itself was thin and kind of greasy. Toppings didn’t add much. I had expected more.
Atmosphere: Intimate atmosphere with lots of wood.

This is the one burger place I’d recommend to health-​conscious foodies.
They use Ohio raised grass fed beef.
I read the ingredients in the ketchup — and I approve. All natural.
This is the only burger place I go ever since I discovered it. Forget b spot.
Today we had One Red Door and Chili Pepper burger. The former is a tad sweet due to the bacon /​shallot aioli; the latter flavor profile slides towards tangy, proper for pregnant moms who craze sour. It is Not that spicy at all, and you can tell them to put the chili sauce on the side. I always ask them to cut the burger in half, as I feel it’s easier to eat. When I was eating my second half of the burger today, I kept thinking «oh no, I’m finishing it already. I don’t want this to end. I need to order another burger so I can keep on going!»
I’ve also had Shawn’s and Forrester in the past. For seafood lovers they have shrimp burger on the menu, and in the summer blue crab burger.
While the food here has never let me down, the bathroom here is at a weird location, due to the limited space of the establishment. The soda/​water fountain where the servers refill our drinks is one step away from the bathroom door, you have to open the door carefully so you can’t hit a server; there was also a customer table right outside the bathroom. When I used it today, the hand soap was completely out. I’d take off one star for the hygiene concern.

After 4 ½ years without red meat, I broke down for a Flipside burger. Specially, the burger named flipside. This burger made me a believer. It’s as if all burgers before it treated me badly, and this one showed me I could love meat again.
I have grown accustomed to the color and texture of turkey and veggie burgers, so to see the grey juicy hunk of beef on my bun (I got it well done) was strangely intriguing. This burger also came with cheese, onions, and bacon, but I held off on the bacon (not going too meat crazy just yet). In a word, it was delicious. At the suggestion of the waitress, my boyfriend went with the Shawn burger which had bacon and an egg, which he also loved from the first bite. These burgers are seriously grilled to perfection and dressed to impress.
We ordered a plate of onion rings to start and a plate of fries with the burgers. Both were pretty good, but next time we’ll just go with one. Each order was more than enough for 2 people.
Bravo, FlipSide. I may not be ready to completely dive back into the world of Ron Swanson, but thanks to you I may just tip toe back in every now and then.

Crazy good burgers. The place reminds me of Michael Simons B-​spot. 14 beers on tap, milkshakes and burgers. And, without the pretense or wait often associated with his stores.
I had the Sonoran burger– beef burger with crumbled Chorizo, cheese, guacamole, cilantro jalapeño mayo and tortilla strips. Yum. Wife had the Chili burger with 2 onion rings stacked about 5″ tall.
We sat at the bar at 1:00pm on a Saturday. Service was great, food came timely, and the milk shakes were to die for. Saw a Jennie’s across the street… sorry, but not today.
