Pub Frato

Great Food, Great Beer, Great Atmosphere.
The only thing that’s disappointing is that the place is often packed.
This is a negative symptom of a positive quality.

Swimming families… if you go to Spire for a meet… this is a must go to place… great staff… great brews… and excellent food… the shredded roast beef pirogies are a must.

An excellent local restaurant with a nice, varied selection of dishes. The beer is good, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere is excellent. Always a great dinner date.

Not often a strip shopping center contains a GREAT spot, but this is one exception. Located on on Fredle Road, which is w/​in spitting distance of I-​90 & RT 44, one could pass it by, BUT DON’T! This gastropub is a perfect spot for some great burgers and get this, TACOS!
Got a reservation for a Friday evening (a must do) and was really surprised when we arrived and table was ready. We were half hour early and were meeting our friends and were ready to sit at the bar. Place was busy so early sitting was great. Friends joined us soon and we dined!
Two of us had the Pub Burger! Outstanding, best burger in a looong time. Comes with hand cut fries which pleased my wife to no end!
Two of us had the tacos and they can’t stop eating them to TALK about them! Nuff said!
Great bar selections and soon expanding to include their own brewery which will make this gem even in higher demand!
Don’t blame me if you pass this place up… you’re driving not me!

Don’t pay extra for the truffle fries. I used to love them, but they changed the way they make them, and according to the waiter, it’s staying that way. We were very disappointed!

Very nice facility with a friendly staff. The food is priced well, worth it for the taste. Desert was great too!

Went on a Friday night with a large group of coworkers. We had called three weeks prior to make the reservation and an employee called the day before to confirm our reservation and number of guests. We were also told at this time, that they would need to make room for another small party at 6:00, but we could still have several tables. The night started off ok, but it was obvious that the restaurant can’t handle large groups. We asked about specials and were told by one server that the restaurant doesn’t have any specials. This was clarified after we all placed our first order. We had to wait for drink refills and several people from our party never got their meals. Our server did the best job she could, but lacked additional help. At one point, she put her hand up to us and asked us to wait. It was obvious she was frustrated. Then, we were told we had to move because the restaurant had additional reservations, so we stood at the bar where service was still lacking. The food and drinks were good, but I was not impressed with the service and the way we were treated.

I do not understand the hype around this place. The first time we tried to eat here we were told it would be an indefinite amount of time until we’d be seated yet there were a few empty tables. The second time I went in we were seated but had very slow service. We ordered the bone marrow which was ok but a bit too burnt so we felt shafted on how much marrow we actually got. I ordered the chicken tacos and they were just okay. Not dying to go back here although I know it’s a concord favorite for some.

The service is off the chain good. If you get Michelle thats a great start. Order the Montréal poutine… with the fried egg. You wont be disappointed. The braised brisket and cod tacos will knock your sox off. Will definitely be back. Tuesday you can mix up your taco order. Definitely a must try!

Make a reservation, we tried to go yesterday and it was a two hour wait. It’s popular and pretty noisy. We’ll have to try it again.

This place is phenomenal. Was staying at the Quail Hollow Resort for a wedding and a group of us were looking for a place to grab a quick lunch. Couldn’t have picked a better spot. Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. Had the chicken tacos which were delightful. Friend had some sort of grilled cheese sandwich that looked amazing. Great selection of local beers as well.

In response to Lydia’s comment; I’ve been here countless times and I love it. However, I’ve had my fair share of disappointments at this establishment (3 separate occasions), and the common denominator has been that general manager. Always left a bad taste in my mouth. I give this three stars because my last experience was with Alexa, and she was amazing!

I’ve never been treated so rudely and felt so embarrassed at a restaurant/​bar before.
It was a Friday night at 10:30 and the bar had ~10 people in it. I ordered an old fashioned. I kept an eye on the bartender making it. He added a little too many cherries, so it ended up bright red. A little forgivable. But when he poured it into the glass, the volume came up short and he topped it with water. Not as forgivable. I gave my drink a chance for a couple of sips/​5 minutes or so, but I could definitely taste that it was watered down and heavy on the sugar.
So I politely asked for a more accurate old fashioned. The bartender did admit to being heavy on the cherries and seemed to happily make a new one.
I got my new old fashioned. It was better. My friend who had never had an old fashioned asked to take a sip. I had another sip. All is good.
Then out of nowhere, the bartender storms over grabs my drink. He literally flings it’s contents into the sink and slams a recipe list in front of me and yells, «This is what is in an old fashioned, if you don’t like it!» And storms away to the back.
I’m stunned and drinkless.
I have no explanation for why this happened. He didn’t ask if I liked my new drink better. He just made an assumption and made me feel horrible. The only guess I could have is if he saw my friend’s reaction to the old fashioned, as she doesn’t drink liquor-​heavy drinks often? But even then, his response was completely childish.
A female bartender then approached us and asked what happened. She was nice and offered another drink to me — which I was too stunned to take her up on. She asked again and comped our drinks which is the only reason this review has 2 stars.
I asked if there was a manager to talk to, but the male bartender that acted so childish was the manager! I couldn’t believe it. This is the stuff you see on Bar Rescue or Undercover Diners.
I want to like Pub Frato. I’ve been here one other time. The ambiance, décor, and menu is superb for the area. But the service and execution of standard drinks that are not on the menu has to match the external presentation.
As of right now, I’m very leery of returning.

Great place! I have the buffalo chicken sandwich with slaw on top and my wife had the risotto with scallops. Both dishes were fantastic and perfectly prepared. For dessert I had the not your fathers root beer float, and holy sh! t was it good.
The atmosphere was great in this place, very modern.

Right from the get go we were greeted with a friendly smile. The staff was cheerful and helpful. The menu contained something for everyone from a picky boy to a vegetarian daughter. The blackened chicken sandwich was likely the best chicken sandwich I’ve had. Not at all dry and very tasty (although I would have liked more heat in the seasoning). My husband had the Pub burger and rated it near the top of his all all time best. The truffle fries were good but the aioli made it. We were simply passing through but this would be a great place to hang out and have a couple of drinks with the posse.

This was a great place to eat. The look and fell of bar is modern country feels. Using a reclaimed design feel. The only complaint I had was not enough sausage on the stuffed peppers. They were still good. I had the kielbasa sandwich. Was really good. To many flavors going on but good. My girlfriend at burger and wedge salad. She was so happy with flavor and juiciness of burger. The staff was nice fun and outgoing. All and all I would go back.

So disappointed in our experience at Pub Frato tonight. We have eaten there several times. Made reservations on the 27^th of December for a birthday. No problem and there were 10 of us on a Saturday
Made reservations for tonight for hubby’s birthday. Got there at 7. Food was ok, service slow. We were told around 9 that we would have to move to the bar in 20 minutes. We were told we should have been advised when we made the reservation of the time limit or by the hostess when she seated us. Neither happened. Will not go back. Will not recommend ever again to any friends. Actually embarrassed after tonight that I ever did.
Did have a great 2 piece band. Would have loved to have stayed longer just to hear them.

Really good beer selection. Really noisy but it was a saturday. Pub burger on point. Subpar service but oh well. Oh really good salad too. Would come back.

We stopped in here with some friends unbeknownst to us they had already had dinner, therefore my wife and I had to grab something to eat while they were drinking. However the evening started with us at the bar, waiting for the table which is fine with me. I started out with two cousins draft beer which must be somewhere around 50% alcohol because they hit me like a rock! The bartender was able to transfer our tab over to the table which is not a common practice but I tip to the bartender anyway. Once we got your table we have 3 or 4 more beers and ended up ordering some light snacks. After all this place is not known for large heavy meals and the whole light snack motif is apparent.
Now I have been to bars before that had a Tater Tot obsession and when you order tater tots they serve you mountains of tater tots topped with every bit of cheese and bacon it seems Northeast Ohio has to offer. However when we ordered tater tots here what we got was much different than what I was expecting. What we received, although delicious, was five tater tots. 5. The tater tots were just a little larger than normal and they appeared to be handmade and came with a couple different dipping sauces. However I wish the menu would have said hey you going to get just five tater tots with this. It was easily remedied by ordering another round of tater tots, but I just kind of wish they would have disclosed that it was not your normal Northeast Ohio mountain of tater tots. Our server was attentive, easy to flag down, table was cleaned off, and the check was brought promptly when we when we asked for it. Overall it was a really enjoyable night but I think they are too maybe include some pictures in their menu.

We were just driving around trying to find a place for dinner and a few drinks this weekend and stumbled upon Pub Frato… I am so glad we did! Walking in, I immediately liked the cool vibe that the place gave off; it seemed like it could easily be picked up and moved to Tremont and fit in perfectly. There were no tables available right away, but we ordered drinks at the bar and only had to wait about 10 minutes before we were seated, so that was no problem at all!
As an appetizer, we ordered the truffle fries-​yum! The garlic aoli stole the show on this dish. My entrée was amazing! I had the macaroni and cheese which was made with Gruyère and cheddar cheeses and topped with herb cracker crumbs. It was cheesy, gooey, and perfect! The portion size is HUGE (yay leftovers!), and I was definitely happy with what I ordered.
My boyfriend ordered the flat iron steak, and his plate came out looking gorgeous; the presentation was worthy of any «fancy» restaurant. He was pleasantly surprised since he isn’t the biggest fan of «hip place,» preferring to go into tried and true favorites. He licked his plate clean… not even a kernel of the corn succotash was left in the red wine reduction swirled around the plate.
There is a huge selection of beers and a fun cocktail list, so this would be a fun place to stop for just a couple of drinks too!
Something else to note that I thought was unique is that they have a «communal table» so that smaller parties can sit together and meet others in the area… kind of a fun idea!
I am very glad we came in to Pub Frato, and I will be returning when I am in the area
