The Rowley Inn is a restaurant with an active bar. We called ahead and asked for a table for seven. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. We arrived 15 minutes later, and the table was ready. The restaurant was full. Ours was the only empty table.

Because the place was full, it took a while before we were served. However, all the employees were friendly and helpful. We had fried pickles as an appetizer. They were delicious. For our meals, we had a variety of dishes. We all enjoyed our dishes.

I had Cleveland's best grilled cheese sandwich. It was very good, but not the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. That one had port wine cheddar. The sandwich came with fries. They were excellent. Not quite as good as the fries from Thrasher's in Ocean City, MD or Rehoboth, DE but very good. The fries at Rowley's are just as good as the fries from the Urban Kitchen, and for the same reason. The fries are coated with a thin layer of flour before they're deep fried.

There's no parking lot, but there's free street parking. The inn is not very wheelchair accessible. There are two high steps between the sidewalk and the entry.

As a little perk, the Rowley Inn is located across the street from the house where some of the scenes from the movie,"A Christmas Story" was filmed. The famous lamp in the shape of a woman's leg is still in the front window. It's not wearing its stocking.

I recommend the Rowley Inn on Rowley.
