“We were first timers at Buds and really enjoyed our dinner there. My husband said his strip steak was delicious and my Buffalo chicken salad was very good. Service was very, very good. Friendly and efficient. We will be back to enjoy live music and good food!“

“Katie was phenomenal as my server, I really appreciated her attentiveness. I'm visiting from Florida, and I'll tell you that's not something you see very often down there. The food was awesome, hot and fresh. I had the French onion soup, steak w/ Montreal seasoning, fries, Mac n cheese, and a slice of brown cow pie. All of the hot plates were perfectly cooked, although I felt the steak was a touch under medium for my liking. Mac n cheese was very gooey, but in a good way. Fries were your average fries. The pie was great, although I felt $7 for a slice of pie was a bit much. But, I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again!“

“Carrie waited on our group of 7 tonight - she was awesome and accommodated all our requests. She refilled our drinks often and the food was delicious. 10 out of 10 - everyone got something different and we all enjoyed our food.“

“I went in the restaurant to try some of the cream pies and wow were they amazing!!! I think the baker was a young woman who was blonde with blue eyes, who I owe my upmost respect to. Can't wait to come back soon for more of the delicious handmade baked goods!!!“

“Best restaurant in the state!! Good food and breakfast. If you walk away hungry, that your fault!! Best hamburgers & Great people!!“

“Read all here, because the review is in two parts...
Every once in a while we will venture out to another nice restaurant thinking we will find something better. But so far 91 has been and our favorite. Nothing beats the blackened chicken over risotto served with a dirty martini! They make the best martinis in Ohio!!!
Because of its excellent service history, I will give it one more chance. This review is ongoing. Hopefully I can remove the bad part of this review back to its original 5 star status.
I have been to this establishment a number of times since the one incident that was a bad experience. I am changing my review to all 5 stars, because the one bad day turned out to be a fluke.
Thank goodness, because I love their blackened chicken over risotto. It is the only thing I order every time. I make sure to ask for extra raspberry sauce in a small cup to dip the chicken. So good!!!“

“Beers & beers & lots more beers.. If you want liquor; they have that too!!“

“Prices are reasonable.. some items like onion rings too high for 3 rings. Best root beer around. Took home 2 gallons. I come from Columbus once a year. I uses to live on 21st about 30 years ago. Thank you woodys“

“We had such a great time at Jerzees! The food was phenomenal! The fried pickles were perfectly crispy, the pretzels were soft and warm, and the quesadilla burger was packed with flavor. Our waitress was amazing and made the whole night even better. Master TC & The Visitors put on such an incredible show! I was so bummed we had to leave before they finished their set, I would have loved to hear the whole thing! I really hope they get booked here again soon so I can come back and see them play a full show!“

“Exceptional !!!“

“Ate last week here and had the soup and salad bar. It was the best salad bar I have had in years. The salad makings were fresh and plentiful. The soups were bean and noodle. The bean soup was a vegetably soup with a good broth, similar to a minestrone soup without the noodles. The noodle had three different types of noodles in a rich broth. Salad bar even had pasta salad and potato salad. Great food. Liked it so much, had to go back today. Sandwiches and lunch items start about 11AM, but breakfast items are served all day.“

“The Dessert Inn reminded me of what sophisticated and above par dining used to be. It has a great ambience as well the service and dining experience to go with it. It’s definitely the place for gentlemen and ladies to enjoy and unwind. Lamb was 10/10 steak Diane 10/10 hummus delicious and I could eat a mound of the rice as well the Grecian salad. If you aren’t dining at the Inn, you are shorting yourself. Keep up the great work!“

“5-Star Review Visited Texas Roadhouse in Alliance, Ohio on August 12, 2025, at 6:30 pm, and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our waitress, Skylar, was outstanding — very friendly, fast, and attentive. She made sure our food arrived promptly, always had a smile, and made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. A big shoutout to the cook who prepared my 8 oz well-done steak — it was phenomenal! Honestly, the best steak I’ve ever had from Texas Roadhouse. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. Texas Roadhouse, please keep these amazing employees. They truly made our night. Excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you!“

“Got the ultimate trio, and it was really good! A lot of food for the price. Dylan was our server and he was very kind and talkative. Never failed to get us what we needed. Always made sure to refill our drinks and ask if there was anything we needed. Love this Applebees :)“

“Bob Evans is always great and my chicken noodle deep dish was amazing but what we were pretty disappointed in was my boyfriend didn’t get many fries with his meal. It’s crazy what we pay for and that’s all we got.“
