Restaurants near Bidwell

“Beautiful autumn Saturday afternoon—perfect for caramel apple slushies and wood fired pizza at Merry Family Winery in Bidwell, Ohio.

The slushies are made with both their Sweet Granny Smith and Liberty Apple Wines.

Eddie got a Mountain Dew (his signature drink) since he’s driving but I got a slushie and a flight of the Mothman Legend, Homestead Red, and Zinfully Merry. All three were Gwen-worthy, which is saying a lot since my palate is still acclimated to Amador County Zinfandels. I have a hard time finding wines I like out here.

I went home a Mothman Legend (the last bottle with the old label) for me and a Zinfully Merry for Eddie. Hes not much of a drinker, but if he ever wants to join me with a glass on the back porch, he likes white Zinfandel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my slushie and wine flight, and we both liked the Hawaiian pizza.

Merry Family Winery is located at 2376 OH-850 in Bidwell, Ohio, down the road from Gallipolis.

“This restaurant has good food…HOWEVER!!!! The food comes out lukewarm at best. The plates are SCORCHING HOT, very unsafe. Service used to be very on par but has become slower. Staff is very very friendly though. Beware: they charge a 3% credit card fee. I would recommend this restaurant but would say…I wish they would go back to the way they served the first month they were open.”

“My wife and I go to the shake shoppe every year for her birthday since we discovered it 5 years ago. Its a nice trip on our motorcycle since we live 2 hours away. The food is great. Friendly staff. Great place to go if you want a good hamburger, hot dog, fries and a milkshake.”

“It's a nice place. Not the cheapest, but nice. Rio needs a slightly fancy place to eat. If Kali's would add some seating and atmosphere, the prices would make sense. Still good overall.”

“Chicken Teriyaki was delicious, thank you. I’d probably pass on the spring rolls next time. Kinda boring.
Atmosphere was non-existent; take out only for me. Good choice late after a day of driving.”

“My family and I went there last night after seeing the Christmas lights. We went because they were the only place open and were not disappointed! My kids loved the pizza. My husband got a small taco salad and said it was good. I got the lasagna and the portion was huge and it was very good as well.”

“Did a late stop tonight. The young lady with long blonde hair deserves some recognition! Very professional and polite, greeted with a smile and the subs were made very well and delicious!”

“If you are in between Athens/Rio Grande definitely go here, their drinks and food are excellent. If you are want to just go there for just dinner and drinks they have a building for that. If you just want to go there to rave, guess what they have a building for that also, plus an awesome outdoor deck where you can play pool!! Literally the only bar/restuarant in rio grande except for bob Evans”

“chess flat are the boom 💥”

“I went through the drive-thru wanting a frozen Coke. I asked for the largest frozen Coke possible but, it ended up being a medium one which was $1.79. I don't know how that was confusing to the cash register person. I also ordered a fish sandwich and that was very nice and hot and they got more tartar sauce for me. Thanks”

“Was driving through town and stayed at the Hampton Inn. Why anyone would go to Domino’s when this place exists I have no idea. Great tavern style pizza with crispy crust and lots of cheese. No delivery.”

“I want the bartenders number lol jk jk jk . But you can’t ask when the BF is at the bar waiting for her to get off work lol.kind of kills the moment. All jokes aside very chill place and I enjoy it every time I visit.To the bartender: I’ll be back in November lol???”

“While the milkshakes were on point, the food was ok. Coney dog was really salty and sauce had little flavor. The cheeseburger was better and the fried spicy pickles were good, although not all that spicy. Overall it's a town ice cream/diner spot that was busy both times we visited, so it's popular with the area folks. The one thing we noticed though is the staff all looked and acted like they'd rather be anywhere else. For a milkshake, definitely go! For atmosphere I would recommend elsewhere.”

“WORTH THE DRIVE EVERY TIME

We drive an hour just for Lorobi’s—and it’s always worth it! Amazing pizza, kind staff, and the perfect downtown spot before walking to Gallipolis park to see the Christmas lights.”
