Vegetarian poutine was really good. The pierogies looked and tasted great as well, the onions were perfectly done! Food comes out relatively quick given how long a line they can get.

LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Had to be the fav place we ate at while in Cleveland for a short time. They have so many options and options within those options. They specialize in sliders, hot dogs and poutine. We tried two different sliders and it was delicious each with own unique flavor.
We had the Polish Boy which was great but the corn dog was to DIE FOR. It was the best corn dog we EVER had.
And usually I am not a huge fan of pierogis however the caramelized onions that it was top with along with a drizzle of sauce, I can say I am a fan of theirs.
Also really enjoy the food court style of the place.
And staff were the friendliest. The girl who helped us was informative in recommendations, sweet and attentive.
GREAT PLACE

Absolutely amazing. The Cleveland polish sausage was one of the best I have ever had. The bun was fresh and delicious, there was the perfect amount of sauerkraut and mustard. The pierogi was crispy and tasty. The Banter Poutine was simple and delicious, the cheese curds softened up in the gravy, the fries were fresh cut and cooked to perfection. This is a must visit when in the Cleveland area.

First time trying them out - HUGE portions, come hungry!! I got my order to go (for home). The Polish boy was really good, had a slight spiciness to it but nothing overwhelming. Took a few bites of the poutine (half portion) to try it - planned for leftovers next day, it’s so good!! Definitely will go back to try the other poutine options and sliders too next time!

Phenomenal! First time there. Woman behind counter was patient and super helpful helping me decide off a menu where everything sounds great. Ended up with When Pigs Fly, next time going for Baba Yaga. Very filling, very reasonably priced. A great meal!

I’m impressed! Its in the Van Aken Market Hall. I appreciated how clean it was behind the counter and cooking area, speaks volumes. I got the polish boy which was delicious! Reasonably priced menu.

We live nearby and have eaten at Banter several times and have always enjoyed it! The mushroom poutine is our favorite and we love that you can also buy beer to take home or drink there. Great family-friendly environment too. Definitely recommend for a casual meal.

Had to try this place because it was on best thing I ever ate, ot didn't disappoint that's for sure! I will be returning to not only this restaurant but the others in the plaza all looked amazing.

While checking out The Van Aken District with some friends, I stopped here to get a bite to eat.
Poutine is one of my favorite dishes, but is a dish that I find is not very common to come across in Ohio. So when my friend told me there was a place in the district that served it, I had to try it.
It took me a moment to decide, but I ended up getting the C.B.R Chicken Bacon Ranch Poutine. There was a decent amount of topping on the fries, a mix of chicken, bacon, ranch, curds, and gravy. It was amazing. The fries were crisp and the flavors were quite enjoyable.
Quick tip: the poutine comes in half or full size. The full size is very hearty, so if you are just looking for a quick bite, get the half size.

Best I’ve had in the U.S. They also sell jarritos soda, which was a pleasant surprise to find outside a Mexican restaurant.

This place is literally heaven on earth. I wish they open a location closer to Akron because I could single-handedly keep them in business.

This place is straight up amazing. You can not go wrong here. Amazing beer and wine selections, great food, incredible staff. My favorite place in Gordon Square (and Cleveland) by far.

Stopped in to try the vegan sausage, which sounds great! Unfortunately, both the regular bun and gluten-free bun aren't vegan. This was genuinely confusing, as they went to the trouble to make a black bean brat AND vegan mayo, but got caught up on the bread? Nice to see a vegan poutine option on the menu but sincerely hope they're able to add a plant-based bun. I live nearby and was disappointed.

I have been to Banter lots of times! I live and own a shop in the area and love nothing more than supporting local. Banter is definitely a unique Cleveland spot. I am a vegetarian and I know they offer so much food-wise that I can't enjoy, but the vegetarian poutine as well as the other veg options are amazing! I love that I can grab a beer on draught or purchase a bottle, six pack or bottle of wine from their store. You can enjoy your choices there or to-go! The atmosphere is chill and fun, plenty of space, there are a couple of tv's and projector for important sports games... plus a back outdoor patio, they're dog friendly, and they have the Cleveland community atmosphere you can expect! �

The food, drinks and people are great! I meet up with friends here often. A friendly, neighborhood bar and beer/wine store. Love the chicken paprikash poutine, cheese curds and the Cleveland sausage sandwich!
David J Kowalski
Phenomenal beer and wine options. Very attentive staff with great personality. Food is some of the best in town. Very creative menu, two thumbs up.

Banter was a great place. The food was delicious and came up quick and the beer and wine selection was plentiful. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.
Jessica Sagert
Seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had and excellent service. Awesome alcohol choices too. What more could a girl ask for?!
Bob Hosta
The staff was fine. Beer choices were good. Water glass had 2 lip prints on rim. We ordered regular poutine didnt like it we have had better at wendys in canada.
Sam McNulty
all around a great spot, from the team running the show, the food, the beer and wine, and a super cool interior design. try the ridiculous corn dog paired with a fresh local beer on draft and all your wildest dreams will come true!
Katelyn Sofka
I have been wanting to come here for awhile and so glad I did finally got to. Friendly service and casual atmosphere. Split the paprikash and foie gras poutine, cheese curds, hotdogs, and the Cleveland amongst some friends. All of it was amazing. I'll be back!
Mandy Marie Bird
I had the special carne asada poutine and the Banter salad! An amazing blend of flavors! The salad is a fresh, crisp twist! Refreshing for a summer night! Scrumptious every time! I love this place!
Jessica Gibson
