Food & Drink | By Douglas Trattner

On Wednesday, the doors to Eugene Tavern in Chagrin Falls opened for the first time. The restaurant is located in the space that had long been home to Flip Side Burgers, which closed in 2024.

The Brains: Brothers Michael and Tim Schoen spent about three months converting the interior into a casual and inviting space.

• There is seating for approximately 65 guests, including the 12-seat bar.

More Coming: Eugene Tavern will be open for dinner and weekend lunch, with weekday lunches to be added a little down the road.

What To Order: Diners will find the famous Tinman burger on the menu in two iterations – a single and a double – but it is joined by a half-pound steak burger for those who prefer something meatier.

• The sandwich category includes a fried hot chicken sandwich, beet and pistachio burger, and a griddle-cooked PB&J with layers of pistachio butter, fig and cherry jams and Manchego cheese.

What's Next: Also in the works for the Schoen brothers is a new barbecue concept that will go into the former R&D Sausage property in North Collinwood.

• Barbecue Gene is expected to open sometime in 2027.
