Houlihan’s

Delicious restaurant, kind of pricey but worth it! They always make you feel at home, as we go very often. Make sure to try the espresso martini, so good. The wings are excellent, but I wish they would bring back the Mac & Cheese.

We always enjoy our meals here! We even had our rehearsal dinner here. Inside, I enjoy the salmon. My husband likes the steak or the stuffed chicken. The patio has a great atmosphere. The service is a little slow outside, probably because it is so busy. The shrimp and fish tacos are ok. Entrees are better. The mushroom appetizer is highly recommended.

It’s just your basic American restaurant, but one of my favorites. Everything is just really good; they have a nice variety to choose from so there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes. Sunday morning brunch is really good too. Not overly expensive; the stuffed shrooms with their ranch (which has a little kick) are to die for!

Does this make sense to you? I ordered a half size salad today for lunch and the price was $ 1 less than the full size salad. They have a nice patio and the staff is very pleasant and helpful but a dollar off on a half size salad is pretty nutty.

I am sitting in the restaurant as I type this: service is poor and food is not worth it. We ordered calamari which was hot but had onion rings in it, presumably from the fryer. Kids ordered a flatbread pizza and a salad so they were decent. I ordered a 3 pack of sliders. Awful, just awful. Cold, lacking flavor and not even a fork full of meat. Service is lackluster to the point where I had to go to the bar to get my water refilled. There are many other choices around the Westlake area to choose from.

Love the mushroom appetizer! Always a good meal. Haven’t tried the drinks but the iced tea is great!

I had the pot roast. 3 bite size pieces of cold meat and a pile of soggy fried onions over mashed potatoes. Not impressive. Not worth the money. The potato soup was pretty tasty though.

UnilocalING as I sit in the restaurant! Been here several times. Today may just be the very last. Service BLOWS!
Got seat immediately waiter (male) came right over, I couldn’t decide what I would like to order, I the midst of getting a drink ordered and severed, he was cut! Really, mid service, tacky! Not his fault! Laura became our non existent waitress, AWFUL! Don’t done with my soup and my entrée was on the heels. SPREAD IT OUT! Got fajitas, served with ONE tortilla! That’s right folks, ONE! Such crap! I was able to get TWO more by a girl walking thru the place! If you don’t have enough help, how about not cutting people when they have a table already. Management Fail! No one smiles in this place! Oh wait, the runner delivering the food is at least smirking.

As we are having a class reunion dinner there, another committee member and myself went to «confirm» the food. I had the prime rib, he had the scampies. The prime rib was very good, but the scampies were fantastic!
Beverly (the owner) took good care of us. We were quite happy with the food and the service.
And drinks were good and inexpensive.

For some reason we keep ending up going back here. Every time we do, the service is horrible. You have to keep asking for the same thing over and over. Expect at least an hour waiting for the food to be prepared. If you can stand the horrible service, the food is not bad. We definitely prefer the Houlihan’s in Strongsville!

I have to say service was good, food was delicious, and it was a great dining experience forsure! New favorite place. Check them out

Have been visiting this place for 20 years. Have never been disappointed. On this trip we ordered the mushroom appetizer which is awesome and has been for years. I had heartland chicken salad and it is always awesome. My kids live the handmade chicken tenders there are big tasty and fries always good. Coffee great everything all good very good. If u had a bad experience u must have been responsible.

Walking into Houlihan’s in Westlake is pretty exciting. The décor and atmosphere reminds me of something out of Mad Men. You can almost see Don Draper and Roger Sterling having a drink and enjoying a steak in the dimly lit but warm confines. I have lived in Lakewood for nearly 5 years and yet I completely forgot this place was just down the road. I won’t forget that again.
Aside from the classic and elegant décor, the food was very good, the menu broad and eclectic and the service friendly and attentive.
I had the New Orleans Jambalaya. It was hearty, well seasoned and came with 5 – 6 large shrimp sitting on top of the dish. My wife ordered the Stuffed Chicken Breast and had no complaints. She ordered the Asparagus instead of the Green Beans. The waiter accidentally brought green beans, but it was an honest mistake as it is quite dark inside and I think he saw the green color and assumed. Within 2 minutes the mistake was corrected and hey, free green beans.
Not an everyday kind of place based in the pricing, $ 17.95 for Jambalaya, but the quality, ambiance and service make this a place worth spending a little more.
The menu is pretty vast and I am excited to back as soon as possible to try a few more dishes. I might have to order an Old Fashioned, Mr. Draper would approve.

LOVE Houlihan’s! Their selection and food is fantastic, and their servers are fun and professional. In all the years i’ve been coming to this location, I have never had any issues. And during the warmer months, their outdoor dining patio is a nice touch. Today, we attended a private, catered event there, and my wife and I were blown away by how dedicated and professional their friendly staff were! First class all the way! The food was phenomenal as well! Easily one of the best scallop dishes i’ve ever had (Scallops Risotto)! Great job Houlihan’s!

Was here for a wedding rehearsal dinner, service was quick and efficient. The private room was beautiful and far away enough from the main restaurant to not be disturbed. I had salmon, the stuffed chicken also looked wonderful.

Arrived at Houlihans on a Tuesday a little after 5:00. We were shown to a table in the bar which was strange because the dining room was empty. But ok. Soon after we order an older man comes in trying to pick up older women. Ok. The check comes and I give the waitress a birthday certificate which gives you one free entrée with the purchase of another. Soon a manager? comes over to tell us since we ordered two sandwiches we were not entitled to one free. I wasn’t aware that a 50 cent difference in an entrée and a sandwich would cause the certificate to be invalid. The way the menu reads it really doesn’t state the entrees. Needless to say we paid for both sandwiches about 25.00. No offer of a free dessert to make up for it. To add insult to injury my husband lost his crown eating his chicken sandwich. All in all a terrible experience. We will never be back! Very bad customer service.

I have had many visits here, to the inside and outside. One of my favorites to go for business lunches or happy hour. Great food selection, have never had anything I didn’t like. They put their own little touches and flares. Get a wine or martini flight to enjoy on the patio while they cook your food outside as well.

Such a nice relaxed atmosphere. Always get the almond crusted tilapia and it never dissapoints. My husband got the 9 oz. sirloin and liked it particularly because he ordered it medium and was cooked to perfection. Dessert was apple pie and the smores crock– so good! It is a little pricier than I think its worth though not outrageous. Service has always been attentive and not bothersome. We will be back.

I have never been disappointed by this restaurant. Whether I’m going for a lunch or dinner, the menu is unbeatable. They have so many options, and awesome appetizers. The staff is so friendly and attentive. My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner in their party room and the buffet options were fantastic and our guests raved about the food!
The patio is the shining star in the place. The lighting, giant fire place and outdoor kitchen create an awesome atmosphere and a relaxing place to unwind.
I am pretty disappointed they took my favorite meal off the menu (the fritos chicken sandwich), but there are so many more awesome options. I could rave about this place all day!

I want to give Houlihan’s 3.5 stars but that isn’t an option.
My movie-​star handsome beau and I stopped by here to enjoy the patio for our post-​errand-​running Sunday. I do love this patio. It might be one of the better in the city with plenty of seating and an outdoor bar and an outdoor grille.
I loved my Bloody Mary. It was perfect; a garden in my glass, just the way I asked for! My beau ordered the Frito Burger (Frito on the side) and it was a really good burger! I’m not a big meat eater, but this thing was yummy! I opted for the frittata which I was disappointed with. It was more omelet-​esq and I wasn’t thrilled with the flavors. This however, is not Houlihan’s fault. We split the white bean salad which was O-​SO-​GOOD!!! I would order that again and again.
I’d go back again. There were several items that looked good on this menu. And the patio is a great place to kick back with some friends.
