The Tasting Room

Excellent food - the huge appetizer soft pretzel is outstanding and a must have. All our meals were great. Staff is so friendly and helpful! The menu isn't huge but has lots of interesting choices and everything is top quality. The vibe is relaxed and there are hundreds and hundreds of board games for people to play while eating or drinking. We will definitely be making this a regular hangout. Try it, you won't regret it!

This is definitely my new favorite Wadsworth restaurant. The food was awesome. I had the smash burger and my wife had the chicken sandwich. They were both incredible! Cooked to perfection, great sauce, and a great price. We just randomly went in on a Thursday and it was trivia night. It was all a blast! Great atmosphere, great service, great environment, and GREAT FOOD! Definitely go to the Great Oaks Tavern if you are hungry and in Wadsworth.

Really enjoy the food here at Great Oaks Tavern! The service is always good and love the specials they rotate through as well. Prices are reasonable as well. Great addition to the community and love that you can play board games here as a friend group or a family. Their brunch is also very good too! I highly recommend taking the trip over to try it. I also know they are working on opening the bowling alley area again soon as well.

Even though the service is never exemplary its also never bad and the employees do seem to enjoy being there. I do find it common for them to be gathered around the bar talking to eachother a little more than I would consider professional, but it's never really affected me getting a drink or side of ranch so I'll keep coming back. Food is consistently good. Good fries! There are a few things this place could do to be awesome, but I like it well enough as is so why complain?

Mitch was decent server. He was great with introduction, initial response and attitude. He would really excel with just a few service tips from a 20 year customer service specialist. Here is the most crucial things He missed: Beverage watch: Beer, or unlimited drinks need to be addressed before nearing or reaching the empty mark. A simple "would you care for another beer?" When the glass is low is ok. A better tactic when glass dips below 40% full "would you like me to grab another ________ (insert beer name) for you?" If the answer is yes, great you made another add on sale, if the reply is a no you roll it into a psychological nicety by saying " ok, if you change your mind let know I will be happy to get one for you" Unlimited refill drinks should be brought automatic without conversation if the drink is below 25%... if the customer is nearing the end of service it is ok to ask if they would like another refill. (Don't automatically bring a new drink if the customer is about to leave, you must use common sense) Mitch didn't bring any refill or ask about beer, but it's OK I'm almost sure we would have refused anyway. Last, but most important tip to increase server tip by 2%-3% on average across the board. (Over ten years of math went into this along with countless tables, shadowing servers and tons of experiences) It's a two part structure 1) Be there at the table within 2 minutes of entrées or the bulk order of food arriving at the customer's table. Be present. Don't be at the bar chit chatting, or anywhere else... that first 2 minutes is crucial! 2)After your presence has been known say these words in any order that is comfortable to you or the situation : "You guys enjoy your meal. If there is anything else I can do for you, lete know, I will be happy to help." Once you receive a thank you or a head nod or any sign that they received this message you have competed this step. Mitch dropped the ball on this, but most servers have never been trained correctly for the job! Items missed: No cutlery. No napkins. No side plates. (No menu given, but I didn't strike him for that since it's an establishment policy and doesn't really reflect on service, unless there are menus present, i was given nothing to peak my interest.) Service near middle and end was a bit lacking, but overall still better than average. Food was tasty, it was seasoned correctly and served without error in a timely fashion. Will visit again. Bowling is gone.
