deagan's kitchen & bar

great ambience for drink, hard to say the same for food. i admit i walked in with high expectations. my friend could not stop talking about the place. and encouraged me to check it out. i was pleasantly surprised by interior decoration, a nice combo of rusty look and urban post industrial ceiling. beams painted in silver grey was a bold move.
menu was limited but had tempting names. i chose yellow tuna fin salad. the portion was huge but i wasnt comfortable with the spice chosen for the tuna and how it was cooked. somehow tuna was chewy and i had to force myself to finish it. i defintely consider the place as a cool bar to hang out and have a drink or two and probably try another place for dinner after that.

worst lobster mac and cheese i've ever had. i actually had to stop eating and order some roasted nuts- which were somehow also disgusting. and i'm a guy that will eat anything! first time this has ever happened to me!

the menu at deagan's has many options to choose from, plus they offer nightly specials. we had a hard time deciding what to order so we decided to do our own "chef's tasting" by ordering several small plates instead of us each getting one entree. i inquired if they have considered offering a chef's tasting option in the future. i was told it was definitely being considered, so we hope to see that option soon. to start out meal we decided to order the devils on horseback. devils on horseback are bacon wrapped dates, that came with watercress and some chile paste on the side if you wanted a little extra kick. i thought the plating of this dish was very visually appealing, especially the bright green and reds of the chilies. the taste took things a notch up from the looks. the bacon wrapped dates were

vegetarian friendly!. as per my usual protocol, i looked at the menu before my boyfriend and i decided to eat there. as soon as i saw vthe veg sliders on the menu i knew it would be a great place to check out. i must say that they were everything i was hoping for and more. perfectly done and very tasty and my boyfriend thought there beef burger was exceptional as well. great food and wonderful service, we will definitely be going back soon,

delicious food and interesting beer choices!. deagans is considered a "gastro-pub" , which is basically in terms of explanation, fancier than bar food but not quite top-tier restaurant food. honestly though, the food at deagans is totally top notch and very much amazing. the calamari is the best i've ever enjoyed both in relation to flavor and consistency. the spicy shrimp taco's are out of this world, flavor-wise, although i do wish you'd get a few more on your plate. (two plates covers me) also the peking duck mac and cheese is a creamy wonder of a meal! really, i could go on and on and on. it is all fantasically awesome!

moving onto the beers, they have some oddball choices which i found interesting. one is called "the broadway" and it is a combo of pepsi and beer. it is mild and i love the drink as a laid back kind of affair. i also sampled the guiness and champagne, which proved to be pretty different as well. the regular list of choices is also pretty solid and another solid part of deagans. lastly, the decour is top notch and very snazzy. it is the kind of place lakewood has needed for years and i love it!

the best. best restaurant ever. best bar ever. the end.

****. great service, most of the food was very good, but the fries were grossly salted. if you can actually see the salt crystals on the fries and your fingers there is way to much salt!

great new place in town!. there's nothing you can go wrong with coming here. if your vegetarian many options, if your a carnivore you won't be disappointed. the bar set up is nice an open with many options in beer and other drinks. try you'll love this place.

best restaurant in lakewood. deagan's is definitely the best restaurant in lakewood. i have been there several times and have never had a bad meal. the chicken and waffles are wonderful. the daily specials are all so good that it makes it hard to choose. they also have vegan night on wednesday and taco's on tuesday. this is truly a great addition to lakewood and i would highly recommend......

delicious and creative. made a first time visit on a recent sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. ordered from the relatively new brunch menu...the lobster mac and cheese was decadent and the champagne viniagrette on the side salad was phenomenal. i had grilled shrimp with grits and it was delicious although it could have come out hotter. my fiance spent 10 minutes at the bloody mary bar making his cocktail...claimed it had everything!! the wait staff was great. we will return soon!

located in cleveland’s west side suburb of lakewood is a newly opened gastropub called deagan’s kitchen and bar. having been opened less than a year, they are quickly becoming a destination spot for those looking for a drink after work to those looking for high quality food in a relaxed and comfortable environment. deagan’s menu offers very reasonably priced upscale bar fare. food selections are broken up into bar snacks, tapas, entrees, charcuterie/cheese/antipasto, boards, and desserts. spicy shrimp tacos- avocado, corn, white cheddar, micro cilantro ($9) paired with one of their many draft and bottled beer selections will make a special treat any time of day or night. monday’s are half-price bottles of wine. tuesday bring taco night from 5pm to 10pm. on wednesday, deagan’s pays special attention to vegetarians and vegans featuring 6-8 special entrees. plans for sunday brunch are in the works as well. hours of operation are sunday through thursday from 11am t

for the fourth installment of the veggie-vegan project, i turned to a friend and fellow food blogger, jill , who through the meetup group she managed, cleveland eats , taught me about this month's dining hotspot, deagan's kitchen & bar. it turned out that deagan's offered a daily specials menu and on wednesdays, not only could you order from their regular menu, but also from a specially prepared list of both vegetarian and vegan based dishes. while i was originally supposed to join the cleveland eats group when they originally went back in february, unforeseen personal circumstances kept me from that night. so, to rectify the situation, this past wednesday, myself, eric, paul, and edsel descended upon deagan's around 6:30 pm to sample some of the veggie-vegan treats off the menu. deagan's was located at 14810 detroit avenue, lakewood, oh 44107 and can be reached at 216-767-5775. they have a website as well. there was a street-side entrance and a rear entrance behind the building where

the shrimp tacos were easily our favorite, and really reminded me that we need to get to deagan's for their taco tuesday celebration. the fresh cilantro and (i'm assuming) house-made guacamole both added such a freshness and "clean" flavor to the dish.

fab-u-lous!. my sister, brother in law and i went to deagan's to check it out. everything was great. we had the deviled eggs and mussels for starters. probably not two items that you would normally order together, but we wanted to really sample the menu. i had the peking duck confit mac n cheese and was amazed at how good it was. i think it rivals michael symon's mac and cheese. a really good sized portion and it was sooooo good. my sister had the fish and chips. the fish was tilapia. the batter was of a nice consistency - definitely there but didn't overpower the mild tilapia. my brother in law had the bangers and mash. it was really good. it tasted like there was some anise in the bangers. enough to give you that "yumm, what is that", but not so much that all you taste is the licorice. for dessert we had the creme brulee. it also was really good. a smooth custard that held its shape. i've had brulee at other places where the custard was really runny. the wine and beer selection definitely puts the "pub" in gastropub. we all can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. it is also a great space. wood floors, a nice bar and plenty of seating.

i was really excited to go to deagan's as i had heard great things about it from friends. i was less than impressed with the food. very limited menu. my friend and i split two entrees. we started with the pecan crusted chicken salad. not great, in fact, neither of us liked the chicken and ate around it. since the menu was so limited we opted to split the burger. dry dry dry. very disappointing. cool atmosphere though.
