Dawg House Bar & Grill 114 Antioch Dr, Elyria Bar & Grill • $

“We just wanted to give the Dawg House a HUGE shoutout and recommendation as the BEST sports bar and live music venue in all of Lorain County!! Not only do we play there periodically, our members frequent the Dawg House for their outstanding service, food and drink menu, and tremendous selection of live music acts on our nights off of gigging. Eric (owner) is the best bar owner we know, and he makes everyone feel welcomed and special when they visit. His staff is top notch, friendly and extremely attentive. If you want an outstanding experience watching sports, live music, playing trivia, or just enjoying their amazing food, you’ve found your place!!! 5 stars for sure!”

Foundry Kitchen and Bar 525 Broad St, Elyria American • $

“Quite disappointing when you have a bad experience and neither the said Manager Randy Seymore nor Kevin Flanigan the principal owner can even respond to the concerns. Since Flanigan owns Gehrings in Grafton too, I'm not sure he takes seriously the restaurants he's invested or maybe just to busy for his customers. Disappointing since I use to frequent both. PM me if you want the non responded to emails of what happened.”

Jimmy John's 615 Griswold Rd Ste. A, Elyria Sandwich Shop • $

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jimmy John's on multiple occasions between May and October when I have visit my accounts, and I must say that my experience has been consistently exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Marcus and Matt. These two individuals have served me every single time I visited, and their friendly and welcoming demeanor has made each visit truly enjoyable.One aspect that has always stood out to me is how clean and well-maintained the store is. It's evident that these two employees take great pride in ensuring a clean and inviting environment for their customers. This attention to detail adds to the overall positive experience.What truly impressed me was the fact that, on most occasions, I would place my order right before the store closed. Despite the late hour, Marcus and Matt never seemed to have an issue with it. They always accommodated my order with a smile and ensured that I received my food promptly. Their willingness to go the extra mile, even during the closing hours, is truly commendable.In fact, during my most recent visit, I couldn't help but wonder if Marcus and Matt were the franchisee owners of that particular location. Their dedication and level of service made it apparent that they took ownership in the store. It's rare to come across individuals who genuinely care about their customers' experience, and I believe Marcus and Matt embody that spirit.Overall, my interactions with Marcus and Matt at Jimmy John's have been nothing short of outstanding. Their friendliness, the cleanliness of the store, and their willingness to provide excellent service, even during late hours, have left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience.”

Cowhaus Creamery 405 Woodland Ave, Elyria Ice Cream Shop • $

“Our favorite place in Elyria!!! What a great find and hidden gem. Top quality ice cream made with top quality ingredients. There is an update every Wednesday with flavors available that weekend. You can place your order on line or go order in person on Saturdays. Order pick time is Saturday 11:00-3:00. The location is an old Lawson's store, when you pull in parking lot there is a whiteboard outside listing flavors. The owners will come out and take your order (or name if you pre-ordered) and bring your order to your car. You never get out of your car!The best thing about Cowhaus Creamery are the owners, Joe and Deb. Always a smile and grateful for the business. They are very passionate about their product, knowledgeable and creative. This is a perfect example of customer service that has been missing in the world for a long time.”

Marco's Pizza 649 S Abbe Rd, Elyria Pizza • $

“Marco's Pizza is my go-to spot when I'm craving pizza. What sets them apart is having the option of feta cheese, which isn't something you find everywhere. It adds such a unique, tangy kick to their pizzas that I absolutely love! One thing I truly appreciate about Marco's is their consistency. Every time I order, I know I'll get a delicious, well-made pizza. It's comforting to rely on a place that consistently delivers a great meal. Whether I'm in the mood for classic flavors or feeling adventurous with different toppings, Marco's never disappoints. Their food is great, their service is quick, and they've got tons of options. They are totally underrated!”

Burger King 616 Broad St, Elyria Restaurant • $

“We were acknowledged the moment we walked in the door. The cashier was training a new employee but even so they were both very helpful. There was a bit of a wait due to a miscommunication with the line. However they were very adamant about making sure the order was correct & reiterated exactly what was on my son’s burger. It felt like we were important and the cashier and trainee actually cared about the job and the service. Wish I would have gotten the trainers name. He was awesome.Vegetarian options: They carry the impossible whopper and are usually in stock.”

Jimmy John's 615 Griswold Rd Ste. A, Elyria Sandwich Shop • $

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jimmy John's on multiple occasions between May and October when I have visit my accounts, and I must say that my experience has been consistently exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Marcus and Matt. These two individuals have served me every single time I visited, and their friendly and welcoming demeanor has made each visit truly enjoyable.One aspect that has always stood out to me is how clean and well-maintained the store is. It's evident that these two employees take great pride in ensuring a clean and inviting environment for their customers. This attention to detail adds to the overall positive experience.What truly impressed me was the fact that, on most occasions, I would place my order right before the store closed. Despite the late hour, Marcus and Matt never seemed to have an issue with it. They always accommodated my order with a smile and ensured that I received my food promptly. Their willingness to go the extra mile, even during the closing hours, is truly commendable.In fact, during my most recent visit, I couldn't help but wonder if Marcus and Matt were the franchisee owners of that particular location. Their dedication and level of service made it apparent that they took ownership in the store. It's rare to come across individuals who genuinely care about their customers' experience, and I believe Marcus and Matt embody that spirit.Overall, my interactions with Marcus and Matt at Jimmy John's have been nothing short of outstanding. Their friendliness, the cleanliness of the store, and their willingness to provide excellent service, even during late hours, have left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience.”

Midtown Barbecue 1405 East Ave, Elyria Barbecue • $

“The food was better than I anticipated, I say that because it wouldn’t seem like this store has high standards when it comes to presentation. Regardless of that, the ribs were good, However, I had ordered an extra 3 ribs, these 3 other ribs were gross and I’ve never seen a rib like it. Very fat and big, I ended up giving those to my dog. So I am unsure on what to expect next time, I honestly don’t think I’ll be back”
