“We had such a wonderful time today with our Women's Ministry. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Thank you again.“

“My husband and I had a looooong day moving. Our server Aaliyah was freaking awesome getting us our drinks and we had quite a few refills but she was on top of everything. Really cool person and we're definitely going back! Thanks girl!“

“I visited Ziggy’s for breakfast over the weekend. Service, food, and atmosphere were great. I would have rated 5 stars, however, the coffee was terrible. Very weak and tasted like water. We asked our server if she could make more but she said it would just come out the same. Please work on making a good pot of coffee to offer your guests. I don’t think we are alone in wanting to enjoy a great cup of coffee with our breakfast. We will definitely visit again. Thank you!“

“Great place to eat!!!!!!!!“

“This is our favorite place to go for Breakfast! A friend of ours referred us here a few years ago and we haven’t stopped going there since. They have great service and great food.

“We went tonight for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. The bisque was delicious, the filet cut like butter, and the gelato was a perfect end to dinner. It was their first time and my dad was thrilled with his hot lobster roll. The staff was super attentive and lovely. Thanks for a great evening!“

“Mutt & Jeff's restaurant and pub in Lorain, Ohio is the perfect balance of a friendly, neighborhood type bar and a restaurant with great food. There is plenty of seating, the staff is attentive, and there is a lot of variety on the menu. My last visit I had this monster cheeseburger with house made chips and dipping sauce. They have great hot wings as well, daily specials, and very good perch and walleye sandwhich. The prices are reasonable and it is a nice, friendly place to hang out.“

“The pizza of the month was the best thing I’ve ever had here. It was amazing!“

“Just visited here with my boyfriend tonight and we were the only people in the front dining room! The food was great and very great value. Feel like they are getting screwed because of the construction right there. Would have went past it myself if my boyfriend hasn’t been there before and pointed it out. Very much recommend. Will be back very soon. :)“

“Had to eat out due to power outage. Cracker Barrel was first choice for a good meal being without power for five days. Had the Country Chicken dinner and thoroughly enjoyed. Toof off some of the stress. Thank you..“

“After a long day on the interstate, we walked across the parking lot of our hotel to eat at the Charleston, WV location recently. I didn't have high expectations, because some of the reviews weren't the greatest. My dinner was outstanding, and I want everyone to know that! My pork steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The green beans and house chips were nicely seasoned and delicious. Ordered apple nachos for dessert, quite good, but next time (and there will be a next time) I will ask them to substitute the pita chips with an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream...“

“Yummy! Me and my hubby stopped in after our appointments today. Had a delicious breakfast. I got corned beef hash, sunny side up egg and he got chopped steak and eggs and we split some pancakes 🥞. Everything was cooked to perfection, flavorful and great price. Waitress was a sweetheart too! This is the type of place we both grew up eating at with our grandparents. Hope to bring our kids with us in the future one day. Happy customers!“

“Ate here on a whim on our way back from Columbus. We decided let’s choose a local restaurant instead of a big chain. Glad we did because the oh boy burger was awesome! That sauce is amazing!“

“Everyone who can act like an adult is welcome here! Great food and support of Veterans!“

“Great steak that melts in your mouth! Owner has awesome personality as well. Will be back for sure!!“

“Was looking for a spot to stop on our way to PA. Found this along the way but it was solid. I wouldn't say it was the best food I ever had but it was good and lots of variety for my family. We went with 2 young children and were easily able to appease their pickiness.

Since it was lunch I didn't try any cocktails but they sounded delicious.

Would recommend the stinky tator tots.“

“We are from NH just passing thru on a roadtrip. Enjoyed the food. Service and prices were great!“

“Came here for st Patty's day the food was delicious and the lucky leporachans were fantastic I will have to come back for my birthday in August“

“My husband has lived in Lorain for 25 years and has never had Pine Garden, today we rectified that. We ordered some of our usual favorites from others and it was love at first bite with their General Chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried dumplings, fried rice, wanton soup, boneless ribs, and teriyaki chicken. We will be returning customers per my husband. My man loves to eat and I don’t deny that we will be ordering again! Thanks for great food and service!“

“Whitney was our server. she was very polite and the service was outstanding!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an amazing experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The menu has something for everyone, and the portions are generous for the price. Our server Jacob was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and perfect for both families and casual dining. I’ll definitely be coming back soon – highly recommend Applebee’s for a great meal and excellent service!“

“If you miss nostalgia,and going back to simpler time, this is the place for you!! My wife was so excited because she remembered this place from her childhood in Chesterland. You couldn't wipe the smile off her face. And yes it didn't disappoint. Will definitely be bringing her back. Thank you!!!“

“We stopped here on a whim trying to find somewhere new to eat on a date night and they delivered!

The staff were very friendly, the seating is seat yourself on the bar side and reservation only on the other.

Food was out of this world, we had the VooDoo Bombs (highly recommend), the brisket grilled cheese, and the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Viper Slaw. They come with fries, but the real winner was the sweet potato fries and apple butter, it was absolutley worth the upgrade.

We will definitely be back!“

“Everything about Woodstock is outstanding, especially the food!“

“A friend of mine suggested this place, and it was worth the trip. There is no dine in. Pick up, I'm not sure about the delivery. The pricing is odd. A medium pizza was approximately twenty-five dollars? It would be hard to put a price for individuals. The pizza was excellent. The sandwiches were excellent, The food over all I will give a ten.“

“My husband and I arrived just before closing on a Sunday night. The staff was incredibly kind---even welcomed us with a smile.
Our server was Melissa. She was attentive and and treated us as if it was the beginning of her shift. I am now re-evaluating how I approach my employment. I finished my meal inspired to do a better job where I work---and most of all, to be more kind.
Thank you to all of those working on a Sunday night February 23, 2025.“
