Very comfortable with excellent tasting ribs. Some of the best ribs I have ever had. A little drive to get there, but was very rewarding to us when we got there

It's a fun bar with a good atmosphere that can get REALLY busy at times. I've given the place two stops the last two weeks. The first time, I waited over 10 minutes for a beer, which was cold and perfect. Unfortunately, the second stop, I waited for over 15 minutes for a beer and didn't even receive any eye contact from either bartender. I decided to walk out and go elsewhere. Maybe the third time's a charm here.

Update. Had to go see if the new owners changed anything, and they did change a few things, but kept the ribs the same, thankfully. They're my favorite. I'm not saying they're the best in the world, but they're objectively pretty good and definitely unique. The sauce, to me, seems stewed- tomatoes and onions and seasoning, with little chunks left in it, not smoothly pureed like most bbq sauces. I think that's what throws some people off. They don't like it; I do. I grew up eating it, so I'm biased. It's different, but how different is Carolina vinegar from KC tomato from Carolina mustard from Hawaiian? The ribs themselves are meaty and tender, and you get a good portion. The fries are pretty generic, but: skinny and crispy and left under some ribs, the sauce softens and flavors them, and yum. You also still get little buttered bread and some celery. That's the tradition here. That plus washcloths at the table, which all bbq places should use.So. Changes. You can use cards now! For a 3% surcharge, but still, a nice option. The gift shop used to be huge, is now tiny, and that space is an ice cream parlor. We had already had Dietsch's, so we passed. No more rib/rib and a half, etc. Industry standard half rack/rack. Prices have gone up, but that's true everywhere.Service was good. The place was just picking up when we went, 430 on a Thursday, and we plan it that way. It can get packed at peak times, so I try to go at 430 on weekdays (which is when they start serving ribs, except Sunday it's at 1130am.) Baby K got the kid's ham dinner, which is pretty much a ham steak, or Easter ham, cut into big chunks. She liked it. And liked the fries, and she can be picky about those. Also liked the Ms. Pacman game. I miss the bowling shuffle thingy one. Oh, well.

The rib sauce was terrible. Did not taste good at all. Been going here for 40 years I guess that's what happens when someone buys a place out!

This is truly an Ohio landmark restaurant. You need to check this place out. outstanding chicken and ribs. Old time atmosphere with the wet towels on the table for easy cleanup! Family friendly. A favorite place for the locals.

Got a good quiet place to have a cold beer and a good conversation
First of all food is subjective, everyone has an opinion of what they like & why. I have heard about this place for years & years, always good comments. There were 7 adults in our party, we ALL agreed... it definitely did not live up to the hype. Yes "fall off the bone" ribs but the sauce was not good, definitely not BBQ sauce & the meat was average at best. My sister described the sauce best, "overcooked spaghetti sauce". French fries were frozen shoe string fries ( very commercial) nothing special. We were all disappointed and said we had been there twice.... "First & last time". On a positive note... the cup of cole slaw was excellent.

Great salad and great quality of meat. The sauce was god awful and ruined the ribs. 1 1/2 Rib

Jerry and Cindy the owners are fantastic owners. Ribs are juicy and tender. Food comes out quick. Rooms are quaint and great atmosphere. You can follow up the meal with ice cream or a specialty cocktail at the Corner "T" Pub.
savannah tumey is a horrible server and refused to serve us giving us dirty looks and called us mean names and gave us attitude and she kept my money
It's not as good as it once was, but still worth checking out in this small town. Ribs and chicken are great.
Great wings n great value on everything from drinks to food. If you want a decent night out at a reasonable price it's your spot.
