King Avenue 5

This Weekend we visited King Avenue 5, a local restaurant and bar in Grandview, Ohio. Located at 945 King Avenue, King Avenue 5 featured a good size menu and an upbeat crowd. The night we visited the Cavaliers were winning the Eastern Conference Finals in basketball, so naturally the crowd was probably a little louder than usual.

The food overall was pleasing. The sampler platter featured a nice variety of Fried Cheese cubes, pizza rolls, fried pickle slices and 4 fried shrimp. Although probably not the healthiest, it was pleasant tasting. I would recommend against getting the fried pickles by themselves though, as they aren’t as good as many other restaurants and the portion was rather small as an appetizer.

For Dinner, we order the Italian Panini and the Meatball Panini. While the Meatball Panini was excellent, the Italian Panini left something to be desired. The Italian Panini was covered in Red peppers and did not feature the best tasting meat (almost lunch meat like).

The feature a nice variety of 10 different beers on tap. I would recommend getting the Warsteiner’s, especially since you get to drink it out of the interesting Warsteiner’s mug. If you’re just there to hang out and have a few drinks, there is also a dartboard and pool table located in the bar.

Overall, the experience was a pleasant one and we will be giving this place another shot. I would definitely like to try some of the other entrees on the menu and the service was very good despite being particularly crowded.
