“I stayed at the DoubleTree which is attached to the restaurant. I did carry-out. I got the meatloaf griller with Parmesan herb fries and brussel sprouts. They were all very delicious. I topped off my meal with a piece of their carrot cake. The carrot cake had caramel drizzle and whipped cream with a candied pecan on top. It was very rich! I spent $34 on the meal.The restaurant itself is a bar style set up with a few booths.There is a Starbucks attached to the hotel as well.“

“This is the hidden gem for comfort food. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have what you're craving.

The atmosphere is a pub vibe which includes and outdoor patio.

I've eaten there several times and I can tell you it's all good.

My go to dishes are their chicken wings and thin crust pizzas.

The wait staff treats you like family and you leave with a smile. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.“

“Great food,welcoming atmosphere and lovely servers!“

“Was in town for work and was highly recommended this place. Went in and the staff were very friendly and great to talk to! One thing though is that you have to get the rosemary lemonade. I am not a lemonade fan, but I was told that it was a must and it definitely did not disappoint. Overall, food is great here, customer service is great, staff is great, and definitely recommend to anyone in the Granville area to give it a try, you won't be disappointed!“

“A great place with good food and good people. I try to swing through anytime I'm in the area for work. The staff and locals all make you feel like one of them. Highly recommend!“

“Everyone knows the food is awesome here, but what is even better is the outstanding customer service! I didn't get the very nice lady's name, but I think she's one of the managers. She couldn't have been more help and it's service like her's that makes a customer come back over and over. She was working on 12/26 @ around 3:45pm. Whoever owns the place better keep her around....“

“let me tell you if you have not been to Nanas & Papas you are missing out on good home cooked food. Wendy and Rose got it going on! THANK YOU ladys for yet another delicious meal.
October 2025 add sweet Jazzmyn to the list i love this place well worth you time coffee is Piping HOT“

“Just stopped this evening and picked up a meat lovers pizza on way home from work , it was perfect you guys get it right every time. Thank you!“

“Good food. Good service. Resonably priced. Waiter was very good at his job. Took our drink order as soon as we were seated. Checked on us during our meal to make sure our meals were made to order. No problems at all except for my wife's dessert that wasn't no one's fault. She can't eat nuts right now because of some dental problems. No allergies to peanuts. She still ate the dessert and doing fine. Meals were both great. She had steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. I had the grilled cheese cheeseburger with squash. Very good ! Alexander did a great job.“

“Just had lunch there and it was fast service and delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming and the decor was adorable.“

“Best customer service ever. while there tonight, we had Ricky as our server, at first he seemed a little nervous with us, I'm not sure if he's new to the job, or had a not so good table before us, but he eventually warmed up to us, started joking with us, kept up on refills, checked in multiple times with us. towards the end of our meal, he asked if we wanted anything else, jokingly i said "a winning lottery ticket" as its very common to say when asked that. Ricky says "hold on a minute" grabs his wallet from his pocket, and hands me a winning scratch off lottery ticket. This is the first time ever with a long history of dining out that I have seen this happen. Ricky you are THE MAN, and if this review actually gets read by your management team, you deserve a raise!“

“My filet was so tasty but slightly past MR. My husband had the big ribeye and said it was juicy and full of flavor. We both enjoyed our salads as well as the bread. Our onions were good but the sauce was lacking in flavor. We had the fire roasted corn which could have been roasted a little longer. I enjoy that roasted flavor. Our server was wonderful.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem by the Water! Beach House Pub is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve been to in a long time. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of laid-back beach vibes and cozy neighborhood charm. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive — they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The food? Outstanding. I had the fish tacos and they were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great selection of craft beers and cocktails too — the kind of menu that keeps you coming back to try something new each time. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or meet up with friends for a casual night out, Beach House Pub nails it. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area — this place is a must-visit“

“As a member of the Guernsey Valley Old Car Club, I visited the restaurant today and enjoyed my meal. My only complaint was that the music, (I grew up in a musical family), was too loud for us to have much of a conversation during our visit. I will still definitely come back again.“

“One negative I have is when a customer orders something and it’s not done and when you say something to the employee they just the eyes they should make it right who wants to eat cold food“

“My family absolutely loves Texas Roadhouse in Newark. The kids were so excited to go there tonight. My daughter and I both always order the 6oz and 8oz sirloin and my little one orders the bites. We were very disappointed to find out after our order came out that they were completely out of A1. We always eat A1 with our steak. My steak had zero seasoning. Yes I could have sent it back but for personal reasons that is not an option for me. The manager happen to come around as I was boxing up all our steak and was very apologetic and said that their shipment must have not arrived. I totally understand that things are delayed but we would have ordered something else if we had known.“

“Today my family and I went for dinner, we are a family of four for reference. My family and I have been going to the BBQ place for a while but today something was off, our food-we ordered a family meal with a side of Mac and beans- instead of a family size for the sides they gave us a personal. My family and I split it four ways, let me just say; we didn’t get very much!!!“

“Had a Great time tonite! August 8th 2025! Band North to Nashville was awesome. Our server Grace was fantastic! Food was good !“

“Emmerson our server was fantastic! You all should clone her!“

“First, a big thank you and God bless to Bob Evans for honoring Veterans Day. Our meals were served fast, hot, and we're delicious. Our server was attentive, polite, and stayed on top of our drink refills. When we got to the register, my meal was removed from the bill as a thank you for serving, that was such an honor. Thank you again Bob Evans. 🙌“
