Restaurants in Lima

“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment today for our 44th anniversary. Our waiter Taylor took exceptional care of us. Everything was excellent and he was so very polite and kept checking to see if we needed anything. He also surprised us with ice cream covered in chocolate and caramel sauce and whipped cream and a strawberry. Thank you so so much Taylor you deserve more than 5 stars. 👍👍👍👍👍”

“We are from out of state and wanted to try a local restaurant…. And to say we were impressed is an understatement. The service, food, and atmosphere was amazing. We enjoyed the open kitchen to watch Chef Eric and the other chefs do their thing. We were very impressed with all the options with the food choices. We had a hard time choosing what we wanted to eat. The food was hands down the best food we have EVER had at a restaurant. You could taste all the flavor and each bite and could tell it was all made in the kitchen. We highly recommend The Met! You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back!!!!”

“cathy was an excellent server and her recommendations were spot on😁😋 Our service was great and food was outstanding!! Highly recommend Milano Cafe❤️. The shrimp pasta sauce was outstanding and the Haddock was exceptional. Staff was amazing😁❤️ a 10 for sure‼️”

“We went to OCP last night for the Krendl show. We had a great time! Our server, Scot, was flawless! We had a large group, and he managed us with a bit of wit and total professionalism. The show was great, the service was great, and I especially loved the salmon!”

“We went here yesterday for my brother-in-law's birthday and we had amazing service + delicious food. We got 2 sushi rolls and hibachi for 5 people. It was fast, fresh and hot 🔥 Godzilla and shrimp tempura rolls came out first and they were perfect. She didn't forget a single thing we asked for and consistently checked on us and refilled drinks. Also, aparently our server (who was one of the best I've ever had and we travel all over and have had many servers in our day and I was also a server myself for a few years) overheard us say it was his birthday and when we were all done at the end she surprised him with a Sundae with a candle 🕯️🥹🥲🎈🎂 Unfortunately I didn't catch her name but she deserves a raise!! She was immaculate. 10/10 service and food. We will be back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻”

“Thank you very much for a fantastic job on cooking our son's graduation party food for pickup. He was so happy to have his favorite food to share with guests! Many compliments!!! We appreciate it!”

“Loving the downtown atmosphere. Food and service always good! So lucky here in Lima to have so many choices!”

“New owners knocked it out of the park with remodel , shows and drinksPool tablesPinballSlots coming AprilAmazing drag showsTwo barsOutside patioCafe opens in the morningCafe closes at 10 pmDef place to be in Lima”

“Sidecar Lounge is an awesome spot if you’re looking for creative drinks and a romantic, low-lit lounge vibe. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with great recommendations. It’s cozy year-round, and I can’t wait to enjoy a cigar on the patio once it warms up. The holiday decorations take the atmosphere to another level — warm, festive, and beautifully done. Definitely worth a visit! I highly recommend this place for craft cocktails, craft beers, and all-around good vibes. And Nicole truly takes the experience to the next level!”

“Bestest Hershey's hard dip ice cream ever! With so many flavors to pick from. Some examples banana pudding, mint freckle, moose tracks, superman, cookie dough and so many more. I've been coming to Jerry's for over 20 years. It's a secret I am now willing to share with the world. Giant portion sizes on the ice cream too. Impressed me 20 some years ago and to this day! I was introduced to this place by one of my mentors in the EMS field while serving the community. A little convenience store selling some delicious deli "samviches" and ice cream. Yes! Yes, you should try the subs too.”

“Free parking easy check in. The facility is in good shape. No upgrades available sold out. The room was quiet however the refrigerator was full of food and drinks from previous guests bagged that up had to find a trash can downstairs to throw it all away. Small pool and workout area. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired.”

“Everything about my experience was perfect!!! I had quick seating, quick service by friendly staff. Absolutely perfect ribeye grilled to perfection. Several check backs by wait staff during my meal. There isn’t anything they could have done to improve my dining experience!!!”

“Thank you Mel for the decorated cookies and the chocolate chip cookies for our “Holy Cow, We’re having a baby” themed shower! They were packaged adorably and absolutely delicious!”

“After exhausting ourselves trying to find a good, consistent pizza in Lima, we ordered from here. so glad that we did! Pizza was perfect with fresh ingredients and tasty sauce. The salad was excellent with fresh ingredients as well. Thank you 😊 we've become regular customers”

“I visited kewpees for the first time this week. I got a burger fries and chili for food. This was one of the best diner burgers I have had. Cooked perfect and tasted amazing. The food came out quicker than any fast food ive had and tasted fresher than all of them. The chili was so good and perfect for a cold winter day. For the drive home I got a small malt and a pie for later. Both were excellent. The interior brings you back to the 60s and the prices do to. This place is 100% worth the stop.”

“The BEST coffeehouse in the area..a true gem! The atmosphere is such a Vibe. It’s a diverse, welcoming space that’s perfect for meetings, remote work, live entertainment, events, and so much more. This place is unmatched!!!”

“Awesome time and awesome food as ALWAYS!! Thank you Jamie and girls for helping make our birthday celebration there extra special!”

“I saw someone walk out with a drink that I wanted to try. I had never been, so I walked in and explained what the drink looked like. The girls working found the drink on a previous order and then made it for me. They were super kind, super friendly, and the drink was delicious! I will definitely be back!”

“Lovely place real nice staff and atmosphere five star all the way”

“We love Thai Jasmine! The options & service are only topped by the amazing food. We brought back a portion of our entrees so we could have them for lunch one day just to have room for an amazing dessert!”

“workers today were awesome apart from one. but can understand today was chaos but girls did amazing with all issues that happened”

“We live in Michigan, visiting Georgia. We always stop here for the best Chinese food. From the soup to the egg rolls and the main event! The best”

“AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE 😉”

“Visited for the first time, great food, able to accommodate some food allergies, just ask when ordering your food. The employees love what they do and appeared to love what they do.
Food is inexpensive and great.
If it's your first time here, let them know, or let someone in line know.
There are 2 cash registers/order points, and 2 lines. It is busy, but the lines move really fast.”

“We ate at Lima's finest food today. The food was amazing as was the service. 💯 Recommend”

“Very nice place. Food was so nice. Ordered the Gordita. I only wish they had mentioned drink refills cost. I don’t think any of the people we were with drank seconds, but we were charged. We didn’t even for refills they just showed up. Otherwise wonderful place..”

“These are the best classic cheeseburgers you will find anywhere. I love the fresh-ground, locally-raised, perfectly cooked beef patties. Sitting between a soft bun, melty cheese, and choice of condiments. 1 is never enough, get a double! The fries, pies, and everything else are good too. Service is fast in the drive-thru or in restaurant. You will be craving these burgers.”

“Been here three times. First time got bowls and they tasted amazing. exactly what you imagine when you read menu/ingredient board. Second time I got a juice pleasently surprised by the vegetable fruit mix. It didn't taste like just one or the other just a perfect mix. Third time came like 10 minutes to close unfortunately you can't order juice because there cleaning the juicers which absolutely fair. But I asked for a recommendation on the smoothie menu and after giving an genre I was given a remediation with a well detailed description. Also warning it will be slightly more expensive than you think. I ran the numbers on the cost and to be wildly honest it cost like 3$ more that going and buying the fruits and vegetables from the store.”

“Had the burger and chili both hit the spot on a cold day. Wasn’t very busy at 1:00 but will be back to try a couple other tempting items”

“Have been coming here since I was in daycare and just graduated from hs......I swear their donuts have the most homey feel and are always the best of the best!”

“Beautiful and delicious menu! Our food was served together, hot, and fresh! Party of 11! Saturday morning at 10am. Servers were friendly and fast! Thank you Lulu’s!”

“great food 😋 👌 👍 we will go back soon”

“Lombardo’s is a Lima Musicians Institution where many many Lima musicians have played & broke bread. I spent my 1 to 9 years living with my grandparents about 200 yards from the parking lot of the bar. I had my first head shots taken sitting at the bar having a drink and smoking a cigarette 😆 phots that were taken by The Indoorfins (another local band) I am a creature of habit & nothing makes me happier than gathering at Lom’s the first Sunday of every month to celebrate “Blues Music” on the radio LIVE with Billy Elvis & 104.9 The Eagle. After the live radio show I play Live Blues Music. Join some true Lima Beans at a awsome Lima show with great Lima food”

“This place is a true hidden gem. They have the most amazing authentic Mexican food. Everything I've tried in the menu has been delicious. Love the fun decor and the service is so good and friendly. El Cazador is a fantastic place to eat.”

“Sad that the old Springfield mark pi went out of business. Have to drive an hour to get here but it’s my favorite place to eat since I was a kid , abc for the win!!!”

“We definitely enjoyed the Saturday Grill and Sip experience! The burger was great and so was the conversation with Lee! I learned a lot about bourbon! I had the wine flight and a peanut butter chocolatini and Quinn got a bourbon flight! Mel was a lot of fun to talk to! We will definitely be back! Lima y’all need to show Purple Feet Wine Boutique some love! We appreciate our small businesses! Side note…TRY THE BOOZY CHOCOLATES!”

“Went there for the first time. Great margaritas and the Al Pastor tacos and the molacajete was incredible.”

“Love Skyline! We go every time we are in Lima!”

“I ordered a last minute cake for my daughter's 4th birthday and Calla absolutely killed it! I had the happiest little chicken on her special day, the cake looked and tasted amazing! Thank you for working you magic with such little time, we are so greatful and will definitely be ordering again, not so last minute though!”

“The food was really good and the owners are a very friendly couple, they came out and had a nice conversation with us. Definitely a spot worth recommending to your friends”

“I went into Phoenix because I had recently been diagnosed with pre-diatetes. I needed to add more protein to my diet. I walked in and was greeted by Monique. She was welcoming and very knowledgeable. She was able to help me choose products that works for me. I've been going since February and have lost over 40lbs. Also my A1C is now a 5.1! Also my drinks are amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop in.”

“Western Sizzlin is my favorite restaurant!! It's always clean, super friendly staff and the best food around!! I just celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday and me and my family enjoyed delicious and cozy dining for my birthday dinner!!”

“One of my clients recommended this place and I can honestly say I'm addicted! We've gone 2 days in a row and tried both hot and cold coffees and loved both!!! Highly recommend!! The coffee definitely shines through in their flavored beverages!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I had the best service ever from the best bartender in Lima, Ashlee Young! Always has a smile and creates the best atmosphere!!”

“Such a VIBE! 10/10 service with a smile! Delivery is quick and the teas are delightful! We even recieved the cutest goody bag with our order for this holiday season! Totally unnecessary in the best way, way to go above and beyond for your customers! Soooo appreciated on this busy work day!Definitely recommending to everyone💛”

“Delicious food and amazing cocktails! Staff is attentive and friendly. Food - just wow! Keep up the great work!”

“great service and good food!”

“AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE 😉”

“Have to try any of their speciality burgers”

“I have passed by a few times and finally decided to go in today to see what they have. Seeing they had a grilled cheese and soup combo, and that being my daughter’s favorite, we stayed for lunch. The tomato bisque was delicious, and I asked and just as I figured, homemade. I have only had 2 tomato bisque soups in my life that were that good! We will be back.”

“Came in this morning and I’m guessing it was the owners working they were very kind. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was AMAZING!! It didn’t need sauce it was perfect!”

“Anytime I’m exiting I-75 and taking Bluelick road to north Lima, or vice versa, I try to stop into this place because they offer quick, affordable hot sandwiches for folks on the road”

“I love that you can go online to check in to save your spot for those busy days. They did get my order wrong lol I had a small order and got charged for a big order and the Alfredo is no longer on their create your own pasta that was disappointing. Is definitely on theore expensive side especially if you add anything

Dietary restrictions: They could have some better low carb options”

“This is one of my favorite lunchtime spots. They have a lunch buffet, it's not the biggest buffet however the food is very good and the lunch price as very affordable.”

“I stopped into Paddy's Mac, Lima's oldest Irish pub, for a bit of nostalgia last night since I haven't lived here in 20 years. One question came to mind: when did Paddy Mac's become the spot? It was absolutely packed in there.

The atmosphere was vibrant with a live band playing outside who were simply amazing. Inside, there was a jukebox and a .75 cent pool table, adding to the pub’s old-school charm. The large drafts, over 32 oz, were only $4, and the food prices looked like they were straight out of the 90s.

The highlight of the night was definitely the bartender, Summer. Even though she was working the bar by herself, she handled it like a seasoned pro, ensuring that no one had to wait long for their drinks. It might have been her 30th birthday, but she was serving like she had been behind the pine for 30 years.

Paddy's Mac has truly become a gem and I will definitely be back on my next trip home.”

“These are great tacos and quesadillas. Friendly staff with good service. The salsas are tasty too.”

“Good food at a reasonable price. I would recommend.”

“Great food. The staff are the friendliest in town.”

“They have the best gizzards that I have ever tasted! Chicken too! Whenever I come to Lima I have to stop there if they are open! Right by where Chicken Man used to be.. Thank y’all!!”

“great place, excellent drinks, best people anywhere”

“There's nothing fancy about this place. There's nothing luxurious. But that's what you want from a regular Chinese joint.

The food was good. And that's saying a lot because very few Chinese places have good food anymore.

The only complaint that I will have is that the general tso's chicken is it a little too sweet. You have to reduce the sugar! Outside that the food was very good.

We also had chicken and broccoli with an order of fried wontons.

The only reason I decided to stop by is that there were a lot of cars outside. Not always, but generally, when you see a place cranking and it's not lunch time or dinner, it should be good.

While we were eating inside, we were the only ones that sat there, people kept coming in and out.”

“love the barbacola hot right amount of spice and great flavor”

“Most times very good, but tonight our fish tasted like it was overcooked. Very tough. Everything else was okay. Did a pickup and they had us pull over. Said it had about 5 minutes, bought it out 15 to 20 minutes later!”

“Friendly neighborhood bar and grill. Great food and ice cold beer!”

“All of Joy's products are homemade which makes for some wonderfully new and unique flavors (grape sugar cookie!) I haven't tasted anything I haven't liked from Joy!”

“Son and i ate there this morning. Usually eat at mansfield location. Lima was awesome. Great food, great server down by glass room. Wonderful smile on the lady in the baking.”

“We come all the way from Findlay area just to eat here. The food is amazing and the portions are wonderful. I would drive over an hour to come to eat at this place before any other place in the area where I live.”

“Awesome time and food. Great place to stop and have a meal.”

“Best place in Lima ! great staff !the best around ! MLB Extra Innings NFL Ticket”

“amazing foooooooooooooood”

“Best pizza in the area! Loaded with cheese and toppings and best prices! My favorite pizza and sandwich place. My son asks for it specifically and he’s a known pizza snob. Family that runs it is very friendly. It’s places like this that make you proud to support local businesses. So happy we tried them out, our go-to now!”

“Power went out and the manager and employees were NOT very accommodating”

“Great people lots to do an upcoming events”

“All around good place to eat”

“Chill, vibe w friendly, helpful staff. Brooklyn & Pat are great! They’ll entertain with their banter and engage all they see. I’m impressed. I haven’t tried the food yet but, from what I’ve seen, it all looks good and I’ve gotten good feedback from the people around me. Recommend!
(this is a comparison to Lima bars not nationwide)”

“Went through the drive through about 12 noon. Fast, efficient, friendly, and delicious. This was our first time at Lima location. We’ve been to Columbus, Huber, and Cincinnati locations previously. Those are great as well. Will be back to the Lima store a lot since we gave more upcoming appointments in Lima. Build one in Sidney, OH!”

“The food is amazing every time. The chicken is so juicy and delicious as well as the numerous flavors they have available.
I originally had an issue with the app and when I called in to get it fixed. They were so sweet and understanding. Manager helped clear up every thing. Very happy with this Wingstop.”

What happened? This was on spencervile rd.”

“Pizza was great! Got a salad as well..homemade ranch dressing was the best!! Breadsticks were also good. Can't go inside the business it only has a drive thru but that was OK we were taking it home.”

“This place is Poppin we had a blast karaoke ? on Saturdays hadna wonderful barmaid she was absolutely amazing great place to go if u want a good time differently willmbe back

“We found this place while enjoying Christmas season as a family. What an amazing place, nice environment, great tasting food that is very affordable, very friendly and courteous staff. Even though its like 30 minutes from where we live we will definitely be back.”

“Would never have thought of nacho cheese with bread sticks. What a game changer. Exactly what you will find here. The pizza is tavern style. Crust isn’t too thick but not thin and crispy. The sauce is a little on the sweet side but not that overly sweet sauce you find at some places. Nice and cheesy pizza for sure. I see why so many local people I know and the hotel we stayed at recommended them.”

“I love this place . I'm addicted lol I really love all flavors of smoothies”

“Whenever you go to the Lima mall you have to stop and get a pretzel and drink. I love how soft and warm the pretzels are.”

“Thursday Buffet was perfect. Chicken was cooked to perfectly along with great hearty sides. And nice salad bar as well. Waitress was very friendly and Ontop of my water refills.”

“I ordered 24 Lil John lunches for a college volleyball team's take home bag for a tournament. I requested a specific way to pack it up and the store did even better than I asked. The employees made it easier than I expected! The girls loved the food !”

“I ordered a pizza today. Now for a donut shop to make pizzas u wouldn’t think it would be all that great. Well let me just say that this was the best pizza I have had in forever. And I have tried most all o them in Lima. Pat’s is definitely gonna be the only place I get my pizza from now on!!!!!!”

“Lima is missing out on great food. We got the same amount of food as we get at the bigger hibachi restaurant for $30 instead of $70! The sushi selection is fantastic and delicious! Now they even serve Bubble Tea!”

“We came in today (2/26/2022) at 4:00 for a late lunch and it was absolutely slammed. Very busy. But despite it all, the entire staff was incredibly kind, went above and beyond for us, compensated for our wait without us saying anything about it, and stayed calm and collected, even with the large line of people. The quality of food was so good — everything was fresh and the dining/seating area was very clean! We were throughly impressed with Ashley and Alex especially! They’re warm and friendly attitudes made the visit beyond pleasant!”

“we had the Fresh Berry Farmers Choice breakfast not realizing there would be so much food. the food was very good. our waitess was great! very friendly. came to the table several times to check on us. cashier that checked us out also friendly and smiling.”

“I ordered a mushroom and swiss burger with bacon. Adding bacon costs $1.99 extra! I just wanted the sandwich and a drink, but the girl taking my order thought I wanted the meal. I didn't realize that until she handed me my bag and there were fries in it. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I didn't say anything.”

“The food here is amazing, since the new owners took it over. It's actually better than before... I really enjoyed myself. I'm going back again today lol...??”

“When I walked into the store today, Terrance was taking food to a couple at a table and I was watching while I waited for him to return to the counter. This young man was so pleasant with the guests. He then came to wait on me and while doing so was taking care of customers on his headset as well. He has OUTSTANDING customer service and should be commended for it.”
