Our table of five had little wait in dinner but refreashed on biscuits , then food arrived! Hot as butter steaming off broccoli! Everyone recieved what order and devoured. Great experiance out the Lima, Ohio store.”

“Milano Cafe catered our all-employee meeting, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything was delivered on time and set up smoothly, which made the day stress-free for our team. We received many compliments from employees, and the quality truly stood out. We would absolutely recommend Milano Cafe for corporate catering! Thank you Missy and team!”

“Awesome meals!! Salads fresh and dressings are yummy. Breads are made there with precision. Waiters/waitresses are Top Notch!!”

“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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻”

“Came in at 7pm on a Monday and there was no wait and the dining room was maybe to 25% capacity which made for a quiet ambiance. The decor inside is very clean and classy. (No pictures of the food because it felt beneath the dignity of the vibe to whip my phone out and start taking pictures) Food was great! We had the caprese salad to start. The spinach was crisp and a little spicy, the olives were flavorful, the mozzarella and the avocado were firm. The pesto sauce they put on the tomatoes is awesome! Had the mushroom ravioli and the strip steak. The steak was great and cooked exactly as requested. The ravioli was also good. The sun dried tomatoes were good but there was a lot of them. The service was less than expected for the price point of the menu. Server did not know if they had a Cabernet (they do not) Also did not know what bourbons were available and we had to choose from what bottles we could see/recognize behind the bar from our table (They do have Woodford Reserve 😉) Asked for A1 sauce and it was brought to me in a little plastic cup with a lid on it like it came from the carry out stock (I don’t even know if they have carry out) Thought it was super weird for a $32 steak 🤷🏼‍♀️ Server came half way through eating and asked if we wanted any other drinks; when we said no she came back with our bill and told us there was no rush. Thought it was nice of her to allow us to finish eating before we paid 😏 We weren’t going to order dessert anyway (not that she asked 😏) but they had some REALLY tempting choices. May come back just for the desserts and lattes 🍮”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“My husband loves your cold brew coffee. As long as it has enough expresso in it. We go there every time we get a chance I myself I don't indulge in any of your beverages because I prefer my drinks at home or I can control what's in them. But together we enjoy your living poppy seed muffin tops, they are supreme. Thank you have a great day”

“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!”

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

“Everything was great.
But I no longer get my fav - Chicken Lo Mein - because seems like not using same noodles for the last 2 or 3 years. Almost looks like it's spaghetti noodles and they stick together now. Still enjoy your chicken fried rice.”

“The restaurant that inspired Dave Thomas to create the chain Wendy's.

I like Kewpee better than most fast-food I've had. The prices felt like a time machine. Where can you still get a double burger and a slice of pie for $10?

I tried some of my buddy's fries and they were solid as well. Will be my go-to if I stop in Lima again, it's iconic for a reason.”

“We have several in town but I think this is the best one. Food is quick and delicious. Service is really good. Nice place for when you want to sit down and eat but don’t want to take too long.”

“The burgers are like the kind of burgers I remember as a young kid. I had a bacon double cheeseburger and it was great. The fries were ok, I should have got another burger for a side 😆”

“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”

“Great place fast service friendly the Super Deluxe Pzza done to perfection and salads was crispy fresh.The fried pickles omg was Delicious!! we be back!”

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

“Stopped in with a friend yesterday… Never been here before! I had the Titanic bowl with vegan chocolate protein too.
What an amazing and yummy delight! It was my breakfast and lunch rolled together. It did not make me feel full with a heavy THUD in my gut! I felt full but content and light!! I even was able to recognize that I had 100% energy for my tasks!
It kept me all the way till 7 PM in the evening when I was able to finally to get supper! I will be back!”

“Old school Dairy stand. We are obsessed with the Turtle Sunday!! BUT You have to order with extra pecans on every layer TRUST ME it is worth it!! ...fabulous!! Our dog LOVEs her Pup cup, too! Downfall; not open all year long!! ”

“Calla created beautiful cookies and cupcakes for our goddaughter’s baptism! Sometimes when cookies look THAT good, they don’t taste great, but these were beautiful and delicious. They really made our reception after the baptism very special. Calla was also very communicative and helpful. All around a wonderful experience and I will definitely order cookies and cakes from Calla Lily Cakery again!”

“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!”

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

“Delicious ice cream and yummy hotdogs! We love to walk down and grab a treat!”

“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!!”

“great service and good food!”

“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”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“Saw someone complain about where to order - it’s pretty self explanatory. Anyway, Winans has the BEST matcha anywhere! Everything is good and the staff is awesome!”

“AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE 😉”

“We just visited the Zanesville location for the first time this evening! Everything was delicious and the portions are huge! Customer service was phenomenal! The girl helping us was so friendly and walked us through menu options and gave us great recommendations! I wanted to shout that out because good customer service is hard to find these days! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!”

“Have to try any of their speciality burgers”

“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”

“Nice little, no frills, place with fresh food. I had the lunch buffet and all of the dishes were fresh and good tasting. Plates are paper but they do offer metal forks and plastic cups for drinks. The main issue I noticed, while eating, was the lack of seating in a rush. Several people got take out but also noted a few people waiting to find a seat after they'd paid. The place is pretty small and the layout has the buffet line right by the register. Makes it a bit difficult. Overall though it was a good dining experience.”

“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.”

“My husband, 2 kids and I came here to eat for mother's day and it was nice and calm and quiet for a saturday (I know mothers day is tomorrow). Our servers name was Ean and he was super super sweet and attentive. The other server around us, Xavier, was really sweet and entertained my kids any time he passed by. Great place!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Hands down the best breakfast in town. Not only is the food amazing but the entire staff and the owners are just down to earth wonderful people. You owe it to yourself to develop the amazing personal relationship with everyone at Freda’s. Support local always. They have amazing hearts and always try to support and offer local amazing food.”

“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!”

“Beautiful and delicious cookies!”

“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!!”

“i brought my special needs child here her very first time coming and the staff made her feel like a star ⭐. she enjoyed entertaining the customers while lounging on the other side of the ice cream stand eat her ice cream 🥰”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”

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

“Always Stop In For A Bite To Eat At Chopsticks Express In The Lima Mall. 🏢🇨🇳🥢🍜🚶‍♂️ I Usually Have The General Tso's Chicken, Pepper Chicken W Fried Rice! 🐔🍗🍛😋👍💯”

“The best pizza around! Homemade crusts - even gluten free - and tasty pizzas, subs and bread sticks! My family favorites are the CBR, the BBQ CBR and my personal favorite is the pickle pizza. You never leave this place hungry, and it's family owned and take pride on their food, which they absolutely should! Always worth the drive!!”

“Had take out last night for the Lima location. Solid amount of everything. Could have used a little more Sweet Habanero. Overall it was good for the amount paid for the Monday deals.”

“great place, excellent drinks, best people anywhere”

“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!”

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

“Rigali’s has the BEST pizza. You can count on loads of toppings, cooked perfectly and always hot! The people who work there are awesome too. 😊”

“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 is the newest Cane’s along the way from Detroit to Cincinnati! Great good, and great atmosphere! The thing that disappointed me during this particular visit was the Coke did not taste correctly—it tasted a bit more like Diet.”

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

“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)”

“I'm just beyond words right now. The lack of management oozes out of the seems at this place. If you want to change your name to a number work at sams club 6375. I am just waiting till morning to talk with Sams Club Corporate HR to follow up on an unresolved safety concern. I've finally got their attention. They emailed me telling me to reach out to them at 10:45 pm on a Sunday. That's how serious they are taking me now. Go to Sams Club Headquarters online. Then go to photos to watch my video. Faulty wires were present on the waste oil caddy since at least 4/28/26. The entire staff was aware and continued to use this machine as if nothing was wrong with it. I had enough and was not going to use it anymore. I walked out on 5/23/26. After initially reporting the issue on 4/28/26 I reached out to Suetta from the Fort wayne store. I specifically told her that I wanted her to be my 3rd party in case they did not fix the issue. The issue was still unresolved when I walked out. She did not help me. I actually called her on 5/23/26 asking for her help. She did not come through. The Fort Wayne store is not any better. On day one the puma meat slicer was missing critical safety mechanisms on the cage that holds the blade for transport. I brought that up and they did nothing there either. While at Sam's in Fort Wayne I was kindly offered some marajuana by Evan one of the meat cutters that works there while in the meat cooler. I just had to turn him down as he took another hit and started to smile. The meat manager Nick one piece himself at the Fort Wayne store prefers his thc in edible form. I love marajuana, but not at work and not while operating a meat slicer or forklift. I have so much more but I'm spent. Thanks Jacob. I found your voice and I snuffed it out.”

“Neighborhood place. Fair prices, good food, friendly folks. My kinda place.”

“Overall decent place to eat and hangout in between classes at UNOH. Probably the nicest workers compared to the other Café's etc. Location is okay, parking can be a hassle.”

“time and time again best pizza better than other national brands keep up the great work! you get the pizza making art always great tasting”

“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.”

“Coffee’s cold or hot, fun smoothies and lemonade’s.”

“time and time again best pizza better than other national brands keep up the great work! you get the pizza making art always great tasting”

“time and time again best pizza better than other national brands keep up the great work! you get the pizza making art always great tasting”

“The drag show was a blast! It was so much fun. But that isn’t the only amazing part. When I had thought I lost something the ENTIRE bar stopped what they were doing to help me look. The vibe of the bar was amazing and everyone that works there and visits there was amazing. 10/10 would recommend”

“The dressing is so delicious I get it every time I go.”

“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.”

“we are fast and so delicious”

“Meat mountain!!”

“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.”

“Fun place. Love the decor. Footlong hot dog was great. A little too much relish for me, but tasted great. Fries perfectly cooked. Service was fast and food was hot.”

“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.”

“Good place, very kind people, love this place compare to 100 others I’ve been. Would definitely recommend, a lot of parking around, and drinks are always full, food is always fresh. Thank you guys for this service :)”

“Perfectly cooked pizza and I dont usually get "boneless wings" but theres are very good.”

“I love there Carmel coffee with the drizzle and I also love the cookies”

Nickles Bakery Inc is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked goods is irresistible.

Whether it’s a special occasion or just a treat for yourself, Nickles Bakery consistently delivers quality and warmth in every bite. Highly recommend to anyone looking for bakery excellence!”

“I have heard mixed reviews about Wingstop. The wife and I thought is was pretty good. The first we went overboard and tried the chicken, the Cajun corn, and the voodoo fries. Everything was really good.”

“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!!!!!!”

“Everytime we come, they are nice and always make it fresh which I never mind waiting for!! I wish they brought back their spicy fish but the seafood deluxe meal is my go-to:)”

“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!”

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.”

“My favorite is the yellow rice and peanut butter chicken. Thank you so much”

“The Blt was excellent, they did not skimp on the bacon. Chili fries were good, and the tenderloin is the best around, not cooked in over used oil. Great food, clean restaurant.”

“Quick Amazing food with a smile.”
