Whitey’s

Whitey’s is a great, friendly bar with good food. Their French fries are hand cut and delicious! Their burgers are the best around, large, full of flavor, and juicy! They have a mug club for their regulars and everyone is welcoming!

Not as good as all the hype, kinda pricey. Almost $ 40.00 for 2 people– both has a burger, I had fires, she had onion rings, she had coffee, I had tea. Better deal at Red Robin. Really dark and dingy

Stopped by after driving into town. Great burgers! Very large, in fact hubby and I shared a burger. Kids loved it, good size burgers and beers!

Food is tremendous, wish it wasnt cash only. But I LOVE this place.

Great food. The long time bar tender is a real card. Great food. Limited beer selection but the ones they have are really good. Great happy hour deals. And a great juke box Check out hayseed Dixie. ;). Nothing to complain about. Check out this diamond in the rough.

We tried a couple of different burgers and shared some fries. Food came really fast and service was great. Not really a fan of their burgers. Patties did not seem grilled and the sesame seed bun was nothing to write home about. For me, the bun should be much better. Fries and burger embellishments were very good.
On another occasion, had the fried jumbo shrimp dinner. Although not really jumbo, it was quite good and included fries and a generous side salad.
Service is fast and food is freshly cooked.
Bring cash… No credit cards accepted.

My brother is a regular at Whitey’s, so I met him up there on a weekday night. This place is super duper divey, so don’t expect anything fancy. They were pretty crowded, with almost every table full. The person who sat us at our table barely even spoke to us. Our service continued on that route and was pretty terrible throughout our entire meal. The servers were trying to clean up and close down the dining area we were seated in well before their posted closing hours. We were in the middle of our meal, and they were talking unprofessionally in front of customers and were basically not attentive all of to the tables that dining.
They have a bunch of specials for each day of the week. They had 47¢ hotzzarella sticks, and you have to order at least six for the special. They were spicy, greasy, and delicious. They are well-​known for their chili and burgers, but I don’t eat red meat. I ended up ordering the black and bleu with chicken because you can sub in chicken for any of the burgers. Sides, including fries, need to be ordered a la carte, so we just split a basket of fries with the whole table. My sandwich was good, but it was on the smaller side.
Maybe I just don’t get the hype about Whitey’s because I don’t eat burgers and chili, but I don’t think I’d go back.

Yum! Great chili (the original beef) and a gigantic chili dog. The service was quick and efficient. Would come back for sure!

Whitey’s quality has really gone downhill. Their burgers used to at least look like people were hand-​making them. And the beef taste was outstanding. Now they’re just pre-​formed patties.
Blech!!!
Been taking the family and friends here since 1994, but now we’re done going there. Onion rings are not the sizes they used to have, but the french fries are still good. Wait staff is outstanding, but they can’t make up for the apparent cheapness and increased profits that mgmt has chosen to skimp on. And of all the products to skimp on, their signature food, burgers! What a shame.

The food here is great, especially the pizza and burgers. With that said, the 3 stars is for the service/​staff. The bartenders are so unfriendly and borderline rude. The one chic that waited on us lost her mind on me and started shouting when I made a comment about it being cash only.

You’ll like it here if you like being stranded on a Pirate Ship lost at sea… the burgers squirt out of the non-​toasted buns.

This is our first time coming here. We had heard for years how amazing the burgers and chili are and the busy parking lot gave us high hopes. Our first impressions haven’t been good. It’s cash only but these aren’t the cheapest burgers ($ 8 – 11.50) and they don’t include sides so things can add up quick. I think it’s fine to be cash only… when it’s clear your prices are low and you’re trying to avoid the credit card fee. Their beverages are not listed on their menu. It’s a bar so you’d assume they have fountain beverages. My husband orders a Coke and gets a can. When ordering I believe she should have mentioned it was a can. It would have likely changed his order. I highly doubt they use cans behind the bar… We both ordered a cup of chili. I got the BOMB burger and my husband got the firecracker. The chili was good. I got the original. I hate spicy chili so this was perfect. Get it czar with cheese and sour cream! It had chunks of meat which we liked. It was a very lengthy wait after our chili waiting for our burgers. My husband described his burger as overcooked but not dry. He thought the flavors went well together. The breaded jalapeños gave it a nice crunch. The mac and cheese on mine was good. I’m not the burger aficionado my husband is but he seemed happy with the burger. There is definite room for improvement in other ways. We were told to pay at the bar which was… odd. We went to the packed bar that only had one bartender working and waited a few minutes. We had exact change so we ended up leaving the cash on the bar but it was just another hassle that kind of further solidified we wouldn’t be returning. My husband also wanted me to mention the lobster tank that was a claw game. It looked dirty and I find the claw game to just be inhumane. Come to think of it, this formerly 3 star review is being dropped to 2.

Had dinner here and the burger was Delish along with the mushroom appetizer. Our server was quite attentive. Love this place !!

It could be the booze talking, but the burgers here are pretty solid.
I happened to come in for what I was hoping would be a quick dinner on a Saturday night, but was pretty shocked to see the parking lot jam packed when I pulled in. It’s a pretty typical roadside bar, but much larger than I expected it to be inside.
I was able to snag a spot at the bar, but the bartender was shorthanded and the bar was packed as well. Fortunately, he did his best to accommodate everyone, and as a server having been in that situation, I was all too eager to cut him a break. This place had more craft brews than I expected them too, nothing extravagant, but at least 9 – 10 different choices.
The burgers themselves are huge– I kept it simple and just got a cheeseburger, but I can’t imagine what some of the loaded ones would look like. Biting into this burger is pure heaven, especially if you are a little tipsy from the beer. It’s a wonderfully juicy burger served on a super soft bun, and by the time you’re finished eating it, your fingers are covered with greasy deliciousness. It’s not the best burger I’ve had, but it’s still pretty darn good. One downside is that the burgers are served with fries, and a side of fries is a whopping $ 3.99 which is way too much for one person. The menu has a lot more than just burgers as well, but it’s pretty clear that burgers are their main fare. Would recommend to those on the road passing through, or to any burger lovers out there!

Pretty good place for a burger and sides. Went here last night and a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. HUGE PORTIONS! The onion rings were delicious and the burger was pretty tasty. I really liked that none of the food was over greasy or too messy. My fiancé mentioned that he liked the burger buns and that we didn’t have to wait for a table around dinner time. We’ll be back when we’re looking for some burger yumminess and quick service!

if i was reviewing Whitey’s on the food alone, i’d give it 5 stars. The hamburgers I had was really good. I also had the chili flight appetizer. i have to tell you, the chili at Whitey’s is incredible — the jalepeno beef being my favorite.
the only complaint i had, and i should have spoken up when seated, was that the dining area we were seated in was really cramped and uncomfortable. i guess i could also complain about the «cash only» policy, but i knew that going in and was prepared w/​cash.

Living in Wadsworth, I had never heard of the restaurant. My wife and I went a couple weeks ago. Place was crowded and doing a great business! We had a couple beers and then we finally got a table. Amazing burger selection! Lots of good stuff. We ordered a couple different burgers and shared them. They were very good! Service was also very good!
If you are in the area give it a try. CASH ONLY!

The reviews are on spot, the burgers are unstoppable delicious. The spice#Secret in the meat is mouth watering.
The bar itself is clean, very welcoming. The people were so friendly from the staff to the patrons. Love it!!!

I met up with a friend here for some drinks. It was a great atmosphere, family friendly. Cool little bar. An arcade room, with a South Park pinball machine (which adds a star to any place in my book). It looked mostly like a place that locals from Richfield and Bath hang out, which is cool. Nobody made us feel like we didn’t belong or anything.
I had a burger. It wasn’t that good. I asked for it medium, it came out medium rare. The meat was bland. The bun was cold. Pretty bad burger. I also had some jalapeño poppers, which were pretty good.
Overall, it’s a nice little bar in the middle of nowhere. I’d go there again for drinks, but I won’t be getting another burger there.

Throwback to the 70’s in this joint! So the interior needs a little «sprucing up»…who cares! this is not exactly the type of place you come for the ambiance… this is all about the grub!
Burger, fries, rings, beer… need I say more??? We shared two different burgers, the Black & Blue (blue cheese and bacon) and the Maggie (mushroom overload!!!). both were as juicy as could be and overflowing (literally) with flavor. We also shared both fries and onion rings around the table and everyone loved both.
Lastly, the beer was cheap. Don’t think I’d last very long (on this planet) eating here often, but as a special treat I can’t wait until my next visit!

We came here after the Towpath Marathon in Cuyahoga Valley National Park because I have a tradition of eating a burger after every marathon that I run. It gets me through the last few miles knowing that a delicious burger is in my future. Because I was far from home, I had to rely on my local friends to figure out the best spot for this coveted post-​race burger, and they did not lead me astray.
I went with my standard burger order (LTO, extra pickles) and a side of the jalapeño caps with a pumpkin beer (I can’t remember the brewery). The meal absolutely hit the spot, and I was impressed with the draft selection.
Yes, this place is a dive, but that’s part of what makes it awesome. There is a lobster tank by the front door where you pay a couple quarters to use one of those mechanical hooks to try to grab a lobster. When we walked in, a little girl had just snagged one (I wish I had seen it!) and was peaking in through the trap door while her mom ran to get something to put the little guy in. I can honestly say, I have never seen that at a restaurant before.
The Browns-​Steelers game was on while we were there, so the bar was packed and the crowd was lively. I think I saw a bartender handing out free hot dogs! We were waiting for our table, and it took all of my will power not to bowl over someone on a bar stool to get to them (I was really hungry!). Despite the crowd, the service was prompt and friendly. If I’m ever in the neighborhood again, and in need of a burger, I will be back at Whiteys.
