“Atmosphere: fun. I am amazed that every time I go to chili's I always have the ribs. Even when I know Toledo has very good rib restaurants down the street (still funny to me). We had the combo appetizers with big bite sliders,egg rolls and Chipotle chicken strips, main meal combo grill with ribs, chicken quesadila and brisket quesadila the brisket has nice spicy kick (only mentioned here because not shown on menu). Oh my favorite moment, my granddaughter teaches me how to eat corn on the cob.. see picsKid-friendliness: Awesome fun place“
“Delicious food, and Whiskey selection at a very reasonable price. I had the Italian Beef, Chicago style, gardinera with Au jus. It was excellent. We also tried the chili and charred broccoli. Both were really tasty! A double pour of very good bourbon will run you $20. Well worth a visit!“
“It's a nice little hole in the wall restaurant to stop in and grab some food. There is a wide and varied menu, and the servers seem pretty friendly. The food itself was pretty good, my only knock on the place was it's always packed, and they definitely packed the tables in, so there's not much elbow room“
“Great musicians and bands. Phenomenal pizza. Needs more seating space, but from the owners point of view, that's probably a good problem to have. By the way, the owner... she's hot. I mean, she's a true smoke show. Just saying if you ever want to go out on a date, I'll take you for pizza at the Village Idiot.“
“Good food, not great, took away some of the items that were reasons why we went. If you're going to list the specials, it would be nice if they were available. Not our server's fault by any means, but it didn't help with the attitude.“
“Amazing!! Absolutely Amazing!! Service was wonderful!! But the food- off the charts FANTASTIC!! Common food, with unique twists and homemade qualities. Which creates perfection on the plate and fireworks in your mouth!! I can't wait to come back!!“
“Went during happy hour. Service was great and was definitely fast service. Took off a star simply because the first taco “Bad Habit” had 2 pieces of steak. It was delicious though. Margaritas were awesome but that second taco had more steak and it was a bop for me and my honey. The street corn was good on the side and on “the heater” taco prices were good as well 2 tacos and to top shelf margaritas less than $30“
“Absolutely confused why they closed the location on Reynolds Road near Maumee a few years ago. Loved that one and missed it dearly. Visited this location hoping it was still a home run and my goodness it’s even better!! The Memphis Mac is a 10/10 must have and they have bottomless fries!! $13.99 for a huge delicious packed grilled cheese and bottomless fries is incredible!! Only suggestion I would make is please open more locations because this place is too good!! The service was fast and friendly!!“
“Great saloon, best bar I've been to. Being from western USA I love the rustic biker atmosphere, not only are the staff great but also the people here gave me a nice vibe. Saw Buzz Anderson here and he was incredible. Our beers were decently priced as well.“
“Went to get a bowling pin for a birthday and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I have bowled and ate there in the past over all great service. It’s often busy on the weekends but for good reason! Definitely recommend checking this place out!“
“I Love this bar every time I go to this bar my food is good my service is perfect I love the lady that's behind the bar I think she has blonde hair she's an older lady but she's so awesome like she's so reasonable she has good communication and she's always treated me so this bar is amazing the drinks are amazing the atmosphere is amazing I recommend this barr“
“Went to Levi and Lilac for the first time Saturday. Such a fun atmosphere. The building and its history always intrigued me. The evening started off fun with a wonderful Lemon Curd Brie Cheese with Baguette. The Cocktails were outstanding. We had Old Fashions, Whisky Sour and a whisky with a red wine float. The place was tastefully done with an outstanding assortment of whiskies. My Burger was outstanding. French Fries were even better. Now the salad on the other hand looked like it was created on a Taco Bell line with shredded lettuce and small pieces of chicken. The Salad was a disappointment but we still had fun. We were originally seated in the main room with music. The singer was good but had the amplifier up too loud for a small room. We couldn't hear each other so we had to move to the upper lounge. It was still very loud so we couldn't visit and chat with each other much until he took breaks between songs. All in all it was a fun evening.“
“We ate here this weekend and their food is always so good. I had a cheese burger and that cheddar was thick on top, not a skimpy slice of cheese and it melted over the sides of the burger. It was cooked perfect. I opted for chips this time, but think the tots are amazing and always cripsy not soggy and gross. Our service was a bit slow and they were not overly busy. She could have been the only one, not sure. She was nice and attentive when she was at out table so maybe just busy. Definitely will be back.“
“Very friendly atmosphere and wonderful bartenders. Large bourbon and whiskey selection for a small neighborhood bar. Decent amount of beer varieties available. Pricing is perfect. Side note, this place has live music on Fridays and Saturdays with many local celebrities“
“We went to Sodbusters on a Wednesday evening (7:30) to hear The Chefs of Dixieland, Ragtime Rick Grafing's band. We expected it to be good music, but it was more. It was an experience, not a performance. We were totally immersed. We felt absolutely transported into another era. At one point, the trombonist sauntered through the cafe as he played ---so fun. We only had drinks, and the prices were very reasonable. We had the feeling that a lot of the people there were regulars. We'd rather listen to live local music than go to a big concert. We will definitely do this again.“
“What a pleasant surprise. The burger and fries were excellent. Burger was cooked exactly how I ordered (medium rare). Fries super hot, perfectly crisp and salted just right. Served in a whistle clean basket.Restroom equally clean. Thank you!!I’d up the lighting and make the front windows larger. This would bring in more light and be more inviting.The looks are deceiving. It’s a nice little place with very friendly servers and patrons.“
“Went with a large group between 50-60 people. The staff did an amazing job with the entire dinner service! From drinks, food orders, food delivery to the right parties within the group and the checks! Will definitely go back!! I got a Pína Colada drink with the Chori-Pollo & my husband ordered Steak Fundido. Everything we ordered was really delicious ?!Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian combos that include 5 options, a salad selection on top of the traditional vegetarian options offered at a Mexican restaurant.Parking: They have a parking lot right next to their building.Kid-friendliness: They have 7 total options under their kid menu, 3 Mexican and 4 American dishes.“
“Stopped in on a Friday night. Place was packed with only 1 bartender, but she was awesome. Everybody got their drinks in a timely fashion. Cool mixed crowd with different genres of music playing in the jukebox. Good prices on drinks, didn't try any food but it smelled really good. Had a good time, will be back “
“For a random bar my friend suggested this place was actually pretty awesome. First off alot of the food is made in house. Even down to the dam fresh cut fries. You can smell them being cooked walking in. The burgers are good too. No smashed burger here. Bar style. Big and juicy. I'm not a drinker so I can say the water was good lol. Overall this is a quaint little bar in toledo.“
“Didn't get food. Choice of beers was amazing. Got a flight of all the stouts on the draft menu board. Bartender was extremely knowledgeable about the beers. Went early in afternoon on a Saturday so place was quieter than usual. To-Go canned options are staggering. Becoming one of our favorites when visiting Toledo.Wheelchair accessibility: Single door entrance in front. Curb cuts from the parking lot. The bar is all high top seating but plenty of tables with moveable chairs for everyone. Bathroom accessible. Might be challenging for people sensitive to loud noises if a game is on or trivia night. Some to-go beers might be out of reach for some but staff is willing to help if needed.“
“Took four 13 year old boys here for my son’s little bday celebration. The bartenders were friendly considering I was bringing kids in. We had to leave by 9pm because they are under 18yrs old, but it wasn’t getting busy until then anyways. They have lots to do, pool, darts, ping pong, little arcade area. The food was good and delivered to the table hot. Will go again with my boys.“
“Came here one of our first nights after moving here from California. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The ‘pies’ were a bit unusual looking at first, being cut into squares with the cheese covering the toppings… HOWEVER, taste is the name of the game. And they tasted incredible. I prefer a slightly over cooked pizza and they did not disappoint. I am a fan of browned cheese on the edges and it was perfect. I watched the young man hand stretch the dough, which was really neat to watch. And the garlic bread was something I will order every time! We were very pleased with our first Toledo pizza experience! We will be back!“
“My husband and I and a friend had lunch on Saturday at 2pm at the Heather Downs location. and it was fantastic. Our server Katie was phenomenal. The food was delish. The only thing we had an issue with was how loud the house music was. We could barely hear each other over it. However we will definitely be back. So good!“
“Tera is amazing along with Brandon. I could do without Reagan’s mouth. This place is a beautiful safe dive bar gem. Check it out. If u are new they may stare at you but quickly be inviting. Nothing like it in Sylvania and we need this staple that has been here for 50 yearsParking: Get here early not a lot of spots“
“Great dinner! We had the perch basket and fries with homemade baked beans! It was delicious.. fish was perfectly cooked and fries were hot and crispy. My gf had the special.. build your own burger with bacon cheddar and pepper Jack.. It was slightly over cooked (asked for medium) but it was still juicy.. Tator tots were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! Service was excellent.. Cathy was a friendly prompt server with great follow up throughout our time there. Jukebox music playing and big screen tv’s around the room. We sat At a booth.. each booth also has their own small tv. Nice place to have a bite to eat and it’s prices aren’t bad. Will definitely be back soon.“
“I give it five stars all around. The food was great, service great and atmosphere was nice. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. I got to say it might be the best I’ve had. It was not dry and the taste was great. Warning though, can be messy. My friend got the French dip. She said it was good and it looked good. Check em out.“
“Friendly bartenderThe bay doors were down, and because of this the air seemed stale. No food, but you can order a pizza next door!Really rooting for this place!Hope it grows out and gets more of a following..... some good food and a waitstaff would really add up.“
“Husband's Salmon was really good. I had seen on the web site menu had Halibut but when we arrived we found they don't serve Halibut and have not for some time. I had lobster tail which was good but not great. Desserts were amazing. 3 stars instead of 4 was due to disappointed menu and no halibut“
“Tori gets me beers. Tori is a top shelf girl. She is also young and attractive. She also has nice teeth….. humble. Not smelly. According to her she bathes. Julie is pretty ok too. Unlock some of the songs on the jukebox and this place would be18 out of 7 …. 9 being the highest. Full send“
“I stopped in and I said Wow. Impressive pinballs -Bar -bathroom-Change machine. Bartender extremely professional. Played Venom - Lady next to me was playing Sopranos which too funny ?? kept saying Fuc# all the time. Too funny. She and I were laughing. Jeffrey you are not allowed to have that one. Will be back. Good exercise - going up and down the stairs.“
“We had friends in for the Eclips... came in later in the evening and had a wonderful time. The food was great, we had the shrimp and samon. I ordered a new to the menu drink... a spicy watermelon and cucumber drink (highly recommend both). The inside room temp was a bit cool so if you get cold easily bring a light jacket. Will definitely be back!“
“Just a neighborhood dive bar with a drunk uncle on the bar stool and decor and prices from the 80s. I can't complain when I can get a beer and a double of Jameson for 6.50. It's a bunch of neighborhood drunkards on barstools shooting the shit after an honest day's work. What's not to love? Decent service and cold CHEAP drinks.“
“I love this place every time! The atmosphere is excellent, the food is always delicious and you can eat outside on the patio when the weather is nice! Everything I look for in a restaurant/bar this place has! Come enjoy the atmosphere and the food!!“
“I was strolling down Spencer avenue and the smell of Hippo s*** was being blown by the Eastern winds from the zoo Gates.I see a sign, "Gators".I think to myself, "Oh wow,everything I want and nothing I can leave, here it comes."Shall i? Shall I stare into the tin sand filled cans of cigarette butts and think of Janice.Janice, you left me and I'll leave more rings on the bar with every broken memory, with every half finished beer.I think of you janice, and I drink about you here, now.Here it is.“
“I have been here several times and it's always been fantastic. The staff is friendly and personable and the food is great. On our most recent visit we made reservations for 10 people and Taryn was our server. She took great care of us and was patient and friendly. Our food came out correctly and she always made sure we had enough drinks. She even offered to take our group picture when she realized we were having a mini family reunion. I have never had a bad experience at this place!“
