Went on Friday night during the Cavs Finals game. Place was packed but bar service was awful since there were only two bartenders working! They were running around but it wasn’t near enough for such a busy night. Won’t go back on a big game night.

The wings are good. I got their most popular classic buffalo and they were satisfactory. They didn’t wow me, though. It was a good atmosphere to watch a game.

I was SO excited to introduce my husband to the amazing culinary implosion that is Panini’s! We finally got an hour before our bowling league to have some grub at this fine establishment. The restaurant has been SLAMMED since opening and on our particular night we just wandered in. Although the skeleton of the restaurant harkens back to the vintage«Damon’s» that once held court here, it cannot compete with the homey, good natured, competetive atmosphere that this building once possessed. Gone is the separation of the adult-based bar from the rounded booths that seat 6 snivelling children and 2 comatose parents. Years ago any idiotic parent who dragged their child up to the bar to «wait» for an available table gave their children quite an education. No one cares anymore. It is now the drinking, gambling, sports-nut that has to protect children by watching their language and moving over so «junior’s» feet don’t kick their shins. We were able to order«true» Panini’s — although it took me 20 minutes to locate them on the back side of the menu. I will say that mine was DELICIOUS with a soft white bread and far too wide to bite into! Sadly, this location has become a Chucky Cheese-like restaurant catering to the young politically-correct parents who refuse to discipline their children. I miss the days when the restaurant manager lofted a pig trophy over his head and paraded it to my table because I knew how many woman Caeser had slept with. So sad…

You know, I’ll go ahead and give Panini’s a good rating. Went for a work lunch and it was better than the average Panini’s experience. There’s many locations in the Cleveland area, and they all conform to the similar standards. They are all attractive restaurants, with women bartenders and servers, and a menu that revolves around fried food in sandwiches. This one stuck out because the burger I had was actually really, really good. Is it amazing? Nah. But it was really good, and that’s more than I’m accustomed to when getting burgers when out. The bun was soft, fluffy, and slightly grilled. The cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños made for a perfect combo. My customer had a basic side salad and a pizza, and the pizza’s are always good. It was Fat Tuesday, so they had gumbo for soup, and despite the teeny tiny shrimp, it was overall a spicy little addition. The bartender was also very nice and attentive. So in short, a good experience, and above average for Panini’s.

This is a good place to watch a game. Great sports bar atmosphere, and excellent selection of beers. I would love to give it a higher rating, but there is no excuse for their food. It’s not this particular franchise; it’s a problem with Paninis’ in general. Drab sandwiches whose only claim to fame is that they’re really big. Floppy fries, overall disregard for food quality. Don’t they have a professional of some kind designing their food options? How does this happen?

Nice, clean bar — restaurant and family friendly. BUT, I ordered a panini sandwich thinking it would be their specialty. What a disappointment! !The ingredients were fresh, but it was very boring. There w as no flavor and the bread was soft. When I think of a panini sandwich, I think of a buttery grilled and crispy sour dough bread as the«main attraction»!! If were to go back I would definitely not get a panini.

This is one of my husband and I’s favorite restaurants!!! We visit paninis at least once a week. Awesome beer selection with a wide variety menu. I have ordered something from each section of the menu and everything has been so delicious! This place is a must go for some good grub, pizza, salad or brew.

Bugs… Flying bugs… I just hate that… But all in all this place is pretty good, bathrooms are clean, a must for me! Also, bartender was neat clean an tedious, right on! Studious! That is solid in place like this! She is the only reason why I have stayed and gave it a 3, she made the bar and was all by herself, and it’s a horseshoe, 32 seats and 20 seats on a Tuesday, nice job!

Flat beer and staff had little knowledge of the beers they offered. I can’t eat fast food bc it severely upsets my stomach, their food made me sick too. Not quite sure what that says about the quality of what they serve, but draw your own conclusions… Overall, bad food, okay beer = decent sports bar but bad restaurant.

I don’t know why you would ever consider yourself a server if you are going to judge your restaurant patrons. The service that my friends, family and I received, was less than sub par! The bar behind the sliding glass is a good experience, but the general service area is a complete joke. Never again will I come here!

Will not come back here went out for opening night of college football and had a table for an hour and they abruptly changed every tv in the place to the Browns preseason game with still nearly a whole quarter before halftime in SC– NC game. No problem with this but don’t advertise yourself as a sports bar if you only cater to one crowd. Unless you are a Browns fan find somewhere else to watch football.

I wanted to like this place better than I did. Its relatively new, spacious and nicely decorated. They spent some money to build this place, cleary. With a name like Panini’s, I was expecting an emphasis on food… of some sort. When I walked through the door it wasn’t delicious smells that assaulted the senses, it was the awful music. The exterior says 2015 but the music says 1977. I asked my waitress for the house specialty… well, the panini’s of course she said. You can choose two things to put in the sandwich… cheese steak, turkey, etc. The picture shows french fries are stuffed inside this«pannini». I said what the heck, give me the cheese steak and hard salami option. Keep the fries inside… we’ll give that a shot. Sigh. About four and half minutes later(wow, that was fast!) I got this sandwich that looked like something I make at home with ingredients from Kroger. White french bread(pre-sliced) and re-heated cheese-steak? meat and some coleslaw(the kind you buy in a bag at Kroger). None of it had any flavor at all. Except the hard salami. I swear it was the Kroger brand… which was awesome because I do like that on crackers and have some in refrigerator right now. However this sandwich… wow…just no. My expectations are now properly re-set. Expect mid, to low-level bar food. Skip the panini’s.

If you enjoy Flat Beer on draft and sandwiches with Processed meet from Oscar Myer then this is the perfect place. Nice TV and Bar Layout. Too bad you can’t bring your own beer and food

If you like live musicians and alcohol, this place is for you. If you like a nice quiet evening, this place is not for you. The 3 Maker’s Marks I had were excellent. I would have had more but my wife was tired of listening to Disco Inferno and insisted we leave for the night. I didn’t try the food, but it looked good. I have a feeling this will be a pretty good party spot if you enjoy that kind of thing…

Eating lunch with 6 co-workers. Sat us next to patio where they are jackhammering the patio. We were told it would only be 10 minutes. It lasted the entire time while service was horrible. Food is good if you are willing to wait.

I was happy to know that a paninis was coming to steels corner because this area was lacking in choices. It’s a very open atmosphere, different from the kent paninis that feels more like a bar. This one is more family friendly since the bar and table seating are seperate. I’ve been here multiple times, food is good, but service is consistently average. One time I went with family and the girl just seemed annoyed that she was having to serve. We had to ask her multiple times for refills or for condiments, and even for silverware. Service is horrible at the kent paninis too so maybe they need to do better hiring within this company.

The service was extremely slow. I ordered a drink off the menu and the waitress asked me how to make it.

I like the setup and how spacious it is. The staff was also very friendly. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad and a side of the house special pub fries. The pub fries were a bit disappointing, but the salad was very tasty.

I didn’t know Panini’s had taken over the old Damon’s until last week. I looked at their website and found they had a Fried Lake Erie Perch Dinner for $ 10.99, served with hand-cut fries & creamy coleslaw. Sounded good, so off I went. When I arrived just before 4 pm, there was a sign that said to seat yourself and I did not see another human being anywhere. Once my waitress, Katie, arrived, I ordered the perch dinner. When it came out, it looked overcooked(see picture). I tried a few bites, and the fries were good but the fish had no flavor at all. When Katie returned, I said since she knew what the perch was supposed to look like, did it look overcooked to her. Her response summed up the Panini’s employee philosophy I suspect: «I don’t know, I don’t pay any attention». They redid the meal, but still no flavor. Never offered a drink refill. The place is definitely a bar, not a restaurant. I have no interest in returning.

Terrible. Food not as pictured or described and not prepared well at all. I could have done better by going to fast food for lunch. Chips are the standard side with burgers and sandwiches, but they burned them… typical for a lazy kitchen that doesn’t want to cook chips at the required lower temperature than the fries. Really I’m not that picky, but this food was completely bad. I would have told them, but no one cared to ask how our meal was… as though they already knew. Never coming here again.
