Trader Jack's Riverside Grille

Delicious food and just a great vibe all around. My husband and I got chicken fingers for an app and they did not disappoint. Our Jack burgers and fries were wonderful. Fast service even though it was busy.
We sat outside on their covered patio which was fun!
I also like their wait system. We had to wait for a table which is fine (it was a saturday), but you can see where you are in line and how long you’ve waited. It’s cool.

Food is always great here, and when it gets warm out, they have the best patio around. Top notch lobster bisque as well!

Have never had a bad meal here. The perch and shrimp is very good. Burgers are great! Hungarian Pepper pizza is delicious. Nice patio on the Chagrin River.

I'm pretty critical when it comes to reviews you either get an amazing one or terrible one or nothing if its the way it should be that's just expected lets be honest. We recently have gotten into hot sausage pepper subs, appetizers and thought we would give the Freds Hot Sausage Pepper Pizza a try via take out! 1st of all the ingredients are top notch, from the crust, cheese, sauce to the sausage and peppers, quality is top notch. Taste was out of this world, very spicy but perfect because if you order this lets face it, its a spicy dish anyone who doesn't like spicy shouldn't eat it. However, if you do this won't disappoint, in fact local pizza places need to step up their game!! Perfect pizza, presentation was great, the bake time nothing was over done or gooey either, everything was spot on!! Great job don't change a thing!!!

The food was great and everyone enjoyed it. We ate outside with a nice view of the river.

Large, casual riverside restaurant with eclectic menu and large portions. Full bar with lots of specialty drinks. Family-friendly, fun vibe. I tried the perch; it was delicious and a large portion, too. Friendly and efficient service. They had a 55-minute wait for tables when I arrived but we were seated after about 20 minutes, although patio tables probably had a longer wait time. A friend recommended this place long ago and I am glad I finally tried it. Worth the wait for a table and quality food. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal service and great patio on the river.

The Pizza is a winner. The steak salad was top notch and the perch and shrimp platter was good. The perch unfortunately tasted fishy.

When in the area, we would definitely drop in!

We arrived early for a birthday celebration. The outdoor seating has a variety of seating options. For eating, you have covered patio areas, tables with umbrellas and even a covered bar-style seating with a great view of the river. For just having a social drink and small plates, there is a nice selection of fire pit and barrel tables to sit at along the river's edge. The entire restaurant is very handicap accessible, including large wheelchairs.

The service was very friendly and will accommodate your pace, which is a refreshing experience. Two of our party ordered the Lobster Bisque, which looked and tasted very appetizing. The mains included BBQ Chicken, The Jefferson Salad w/Chicken, Garlic Broiled Shrimp, and a Blue, Bacon Jam Burger. All of the food tasted fresh and was plated well. The dinner portions are large as more than one of us took home some of our meal.

We will have to save room for dessert on our next visit as their menu has plenty of options.

Was not disappointed by this place. Really good food and service! If I lived here I’d be here every week. The appetizers were perfect and the local perch filets were super tasty! Perfect place for lunch and I imagine it’s a pretty cool Friday night place too. Huge outside area too.

Never disappointed at TJ! Prime rib is thick and delicious! We especially love the white cheddar Mac and cheese meal with breaded chicken strips. Always consistent and delicious. Friendly servers complete the dining experience!

Trader Jacks is a great restaurant with outdoor dining right along the Chagrin River! Food is very good. A favorite is the steak salad! A little pricey though at $17. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as the patio is great !

I had the excellent perch and shrimp. It comes with tartar sauce but you don't need it. A squeeze of lemon is all you need. Friendly fast service even though it was Saturday night and we had a party of six.

Great food great service. Got the sea good platter. Yummmmm. We have here had a bad meal there. Steaks seafood hamburgers ribs

So nice having a great restaurant in Eastlake like Trader Jacks. Come here all the time. Great outdoor patio in the warm months and enclosed heated patio in winter. Food and drinks are always fantastic and reasonable prices. Staff is friendly and attentive. Being 5 minutes from my house is also a plus.

Had a really nice time here. I met someone here for a dnner/date. No seats available so we sat at the bar. Food was good and bartender was very pleasant. But overall it was a good experience.

Had a great dinner on the patio. The wait was long but that’s always a good sign if others are willing to wait. Good selection on the menu. I went with the Walleye which was great. The aioli malt vinegar was awesome on the fries.

Great food, great service. Can't wait til the weather breaks!

Wow..
First time there and it was fabulous!
Service was excellent, the food was the bomb 💣 and prices were reasonable
Will certainly go back and try more off of the menu!
Look at the size of this cheese stick,lightly breaded was made just right!!!

Was my first time . Food great, had the cod sandwich. More than enough to eat. Was a great place to talk with friends, not on top of someone, table big enough for 4 people to sit and have your food infront of you. Waitress on the ball, refills without asking, Bill dropped off at nice time. The place was clean, even the bathrooms were clean and stocked. Will recommend my friends and family, and will definitely be back

Absolutely love coming here! Was fortunate to have no wait. Seated within 3 minutes of walking in. Server was kind, funny and very helpful in answering questions about substituting items. Always a great place to dine! Our table got Jefferson Salad with shrimp, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich & Burger. Everything was served fresh & hot!
