I asked my husband to take me to the Winking Lizard for lunch today. He didn’t particularly want to go. I have enjoyed meals there.
I had ribs, fries and coleslaw. He had a Gyro. The bill was with tip 20.00.
I didn’t want to complain to the server because I was the one who wanted to eat there.
The ribs were OLD and so hard I could not swallow them. The home fries were floating in grease. I am so sorry that this place has turned out this way.

While I’m not the biggest fan of the Lizard’s food, I have to agree with Pete and rockandroller in that BW3′s menu is simply rude, and their beer selection is worse. You don’t go to the Lizard to eat; you go there for the beer. And the Bloody Marys, which are about the best you’ll find in this part of the country (I kid you not — they’re a great hangover cure!).

Lizard pizza rates about a B+, and their burgers about the same; their chicken wraps are a good lunch without breaking either the bank or your tastebuds. They are definitely *not* known for their chili.

And: I avoid cheese-covered fries at all costs, anywhere; it’s *always* a poor choice (except the Cottage Fries at Yours Truly, which are truly exceptional)!

I like the Lizard, but, I think it’s a case of liking the beer far more than the food, since I’m already 13 beers into the beer tour with just 7 days since I’ve signed up. I know the pizzas and burgers are good at the Lakewood Lizard. I’m not out in Mentor enough to go to the other one.

BW-3 is friggin awful, though. Everytime I go there, I want to punt a baby holding a cute puppy and a kitten into an active volcano. Face first. The food is awful, and the ambiance is straight out of the Alpha Beta house from Revenge of the Nerds. After the fire.

I think their food is awful and always have. I don’t understand the draw. But then again, I think BW-3 is a worse hole than Winking Lizard. It’s like sitting in the middle of someone’s ugly, bare garage eating garbage.

Winking Lizard is all hype and no taste. Average wings, average food at best. Everyone says “Winking Lizard, Winking Lizard” but I seriously believe they only say that because it is truly a NE Ohio original and they want to make it seem like it is a monument in the area. I would never take out of town guest to this joint. BW3 is better by far.

BTW, those lizards are display are rude and stuck up, they never say hello!
