Erie Waters Bar and Grill in Euclid, Ohio
On 31 January 2008, two students, two friends, and I went to dinner at the Erie Waters Bar and Grill on Shore Center Drive in Euclid, Ohio. When we arrived, it was obvious that it is more Bar than Grill. We entered at about 6:10pm. Upon entering, we did not know what to do, as there were no signs saying whether to seat ourselves or wait for a host/hostess. If you want to tout yourself as a restaurant, don’t make people feel uncomfortable as soon as they arrive. I wanted to leave immediately, but we were all too hungry.
Once we were seated a young woman with glasses came over to take our drink order. She did not introduce herself and sat on the booth behind us to take the order. That is OK in a bar atmosphere but absolutely not in a restaurant. She came back and forgot my iced tea. I don’t know how that was possible when there were only two lemonades, one iced tea, and the two others were water. When she came back for our food orders she forgot her order pad. Come the fuck on! We ordered bar type food as it was probably the safest thing to do. I forgot to mention the fact that I felt the need to sterilize my hands after touching the menus, as they were so disgusting. Anyway, we decided to get 30 wings, a basket of fries for three of us. One ordered a Philly Steak sandwich, and I ordered a French Dip. I must admit, this was about the best French Dip I have ever eaten, though the jus was a bit too fatty. It had grilled onions and mushrooms and was topped with a mild white cheese. I am not exactly sure what cheese it was, but maybe a Monterey jack, or mozzarella or very mild Swiss. The fries, though obviously frozen, were actually quite good as well. I heard the Philly was also good. I tried the wings which were also good, but average.
The problem with the wings was this: The menu shows pricing for 10, 20, 30, etc. Each higher quantity gets a slight discount, but the rules to get the discount are sure to chase more people away than they bring in. We wanted to get each ten a different flavor so we see what they had to offer. Instead of trying to build a new customer base, we were told that in order to get the discount we had to order all the same flavor. That is asinine! The sauces are already made all you have to do is cook the wings, which only entails dumping them in a deep fryer, as there was no breading, and waiting about ten minutes. You then dump them in a bowl with the sauce and toss for a minute or less. I almost would have brought other people here because of the French Dip, but this idiotic wing rule, absolutely changed my mind. Too bad for you.
