“I had the pleasure of being brought here for lunch today and - wow!! The waitstaff is very friendly and accommodating. I had the pastor torta and it was amazing! El pastor is one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I haven't had it in a restaurant where it was this good since I lived out west 25 years ago! We also grabbed a bottle of Coronado vanilla rompope from the grocery store on a whim and weren't sure what to expect. I had the leftover half of my torta and guacamole from lunch along with a small glass of the rompope for dinner a little while ago, and it was incredibly good. I'll definitely be back for more!”

“Was in Defiance last weekend with friends. We were looking for a place to have lunch and I had seen on the Valentine Theater site that Ensign’s was where Maag’s used to be and they had a lot of the same menu. Went there years ago, before 1980, and was pleasantly surprised with the lunch. Had the roast beef, knockers, chips & draft beer. Everything was great and the prices are very reasonable. We all had a good time and my friends were happy that I suggested going here. Keep up the good work!”

“The staff is always attentive and joyful. Food or ice cream is always delicious and bountiful. With all the choices available, it's hard not to grab something for yourself when making a pit stop! The environment is always welcoming and clean. Sometimes the machines go down, but I can understand that with how busy they can get on a regular basis! And they are always on a quick turn around to get things fixed so it's never a long let down when a machine is down.
With 2 locations in Defiance, and a mobile truck for venues or events, Eric's Ice Cream is a town favorite.”

“I like that they had televisions all over so we didn't have to strain our necks trying to see one. They have good food and good service.
Wheelchair accessible with Wheelchair accessible tables, restroom and parking. There were several families with small children and babies there and a small game room. Televisions are a bit loud, so if your looking for quiet, this is not the place. I liked the atmosphere and people were cheering at the football game on the TV. It was a pleasant experience and we would go again if in the area.”
