We're still in Ohio on our travels. Craving fish and chips. This place did not disappoint. Two huge slices of fish. Coleslaw was awesome. Just a nice feel good place. Place was clean. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Christine our server was great. Will be back there before we leave out of Ohio.

Food was great-hot and delicious. Service was great. Our waitress was busy & did not miss a beat. Took our order quickly, food was fast, remembered everything & got up drink refills. We'll be back.
