“We love their fresh salads from locally grown produce. I had the 1833 salad and it was delicious!“

“Everyone who can act like an adult is welcome here! Great food and support of Veterans!“

“Was looking for a spot to stop on our way to PA. Found this along the way but it was solid. I wouldn't say it was the best food I ever had but it was good and lots of variety for my family. We went with 2 young children and were easily able to appease their pickiness.

Since it was lunch I didn't try any cocktails but they sounded delicious.

Would recommend the stinky tator tots.“

“We stopped here on a whim trying to find somewhere new to eat on a date night and they delivered!

The staff were very friendly, the seating is seat yourself on the bar side and reservation only on the other.

Food was out of this world, we had the VooDoo Bombs (highly recommend), the brisket grilled cheese, and the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Viper Slaw. They come with fries, but the real winner was the sweet potato fries and apple butter, it was absolutley worth the upgrade.

We will definitely be back!“

“This is our favorite place to go for Breakfast! A friend of ours referred us here a few years ago and we haven’t stopped going there since. They have great service and great food. Such a friendly atmosphere and you can tell that they have so many repeat customers. That’s always a good sign! Highly recommend!“

“Mutt & Jeff's restaurant and pub in Lorain, Ohio is the perfect balance of a friendly, neighborhood type bar and a restaurant with great food. There is plenty of seating, the staff is attentive, and there is a lot of variety on the menu. My last visit I had this monster cheeseburger with house made chips and dipping sauce. They have great hot wings as well, daily specials, and very good perch and walleye sandwhich. The prices are reasonable and it is a nice, friendly place to hang out.“

“This was my first time visiting and my experience was quite pleasant. It is a weekday so there was no wait. The place is clean and you don't feel like your sharing your table with strangers. The food was good, nice sized portions with a fair price, and the service was on point. I will definitely go again“

“The pizza of the month was the best thing I’ve ever had here. It was amazing!“

“Just visited here with my boyfriend tonight and we were the only people in the front dining room! The food was great and very great value. Feel like they are getting screwed because of the construction right there. Would have went past it myself if my boyfriend hasn’t been there before and pointed it out. Very much recommend. Will be back very soon. :)“

“Great food. Great staff. Restaurant good use some TLC on windows and seats to clean.“

“Had to eat out due to power outage. Cracker Barrel was first choice for a good meal being without power for five days. Had the Country Chicken dinner and thoroughly enjoyed. Toof off some of the stress. Thank you..“

“The Nest at Grey Hawk Golf Club offers a diverse and delightful dining experience, evident from its well-received weekday specials to it's live music. I really appreciate a place that supports live local artists. Usually the unsigned artists are way more talented than the mainstream ones. Have you heard of Master T.C. & The Visitors. they are one of the best Ohio bands I've seen you would love them and they would go perfect with the vibes of The Nest. Ive seen The Domans and Billy Likes Soda. Will definitely be back for more live music! The variety on the menu, spanning from appetizers and flatbreads to steak and live music on Fridays, showcases the establishment's commitment to offering a range of enjoyable options for its patrons. The Nest at Grey Hawk Golf Club is a versatile and inviting spot, appealing to both food enthusiasts and those seeking an enjoyable evening out. Its also the perfect place to go on a date or just a night to hang out with friends! We will be back soon for sure!“

“The waiter Anthon was great at the Ruby Tuesday in Elyria,OHIO and the food was amazing.“

“We had such a wonderful time today with our Women's Ministry. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Thank you again.“

“After a long day on the interstate, we walked across the parking lot of our hotel to eat at the Charleston, WV location recently. I didn't have high expectations, because some of the reviews weren't the greatest. My dinner was outstanding, and I want everyone to know that! My pork steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The green beans and house chips were nicely seasoned and delicious. Ordered apple nachos for dessert, quite good, but next time (and there will be a next time) I will ask them to substitute the pita chips with an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream...“

“Our first visit to Wolfe's and we were quite impressed. Seated at a window table in the bar, very comfortable. Greeted by Eileen who was super nice. Went over the menu with us, took our drink order. Ordered a pepperoni & sausage calzone to start. DELICIOUS!!! Dave had a steak salad and I had grilled cheese sandwich with chips. We finished the afternoon off by ordering 2 specialty pizzas to go. I can't stress enough the excellent service Eileen gave us. We will definitely be back and ask for a table with Eileen. Thank you, Eileen! Carol and Dave“

“Yummy! Me and my hubby stopped in after our appointments today. Had a delicious breakfast. I got corned beef hash, sunny side up egg and he got chopped steak and eggs and we split some pancakes 🥞. Everything was cooked to perfection, flavorful and great price. Waitress was a sweetheart too! This is the type of place we both grew up eating at with our grandparents. Hope to bring our kids with us in the future one day. Happy customers!“

“Ate here on a whim on our way back from Columbus. We decided let’s choose a local restaurant instead of a big chain. Glad we did because the oh boy burger was awesome! That sauce is amazing!“

“My husband and I had a looooong day moving. Our server Aaliyah was freaking awesome getting us our drinks and we had quite a few refills but she was on top of everything. Really cool person and we're definitely going back! Thanks girl!“

I had an amazing experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The menu has something for everyone, and the portions are generous for the price. Our server Jacob was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and perfect for both families and casual dining. I’ll definitely be coming back soon – highly recommend Applebee’s for a great meal and excellent service!“

“My family and I traveled back to our hometown in Ohio for a funeral. We wanted to have some fun to cheer us up and we got in late, so this was the only place open later on a Sunday. We were so happy that we could let go and have a nice time together for some affordable bowling and some good food. The bartender was very helpful and she gave great service. Thank you to the staff for lightening our night last week.“

“The food is fantastic. We ordered Thanksgiving meals and everything was wonderful.“

“Me and my 2 daughters usually stop in on the weekends and we love their breakfast always fast service we love Jackie she is always friendly and does a great job serving us :)“

“Lunch today was great ! Very tasty food , sorry we waited so long , will definitely be there for breakfast soon! 😋Need more advertising to get the word out“

“Haven’t wrote a review in a while but it’s my second time here for the wings and the patty melt. I always get the sauce on the side anywhere I go like I did here. The wings are always the right kind of crispy without even asking. This place is a hidden gem in the hopes that it stays hidden for its character as the locals are a great part of it. I’m only writing this review because of the 2 bad reviews I saw. I just don’t see that being possible.“

“Our server Lisa was amazing. It was very busy but she was on top of everything. Our drinks and food came out very fast and she was so attentive with refills and sides. She was also very nice and informative. Best experience I’ve had at a restaurant. She deserves a raise“

“Great food, friendly staff and super service. Please help support our areas small businesses.“

“Great wings great bartender and nice atmosphere!“

“I visited Ziggy’s for breakfast over the weekend. Service, food, and atmosphere were great. I would have rated 5 stars, however, the coffee was terrible. Very weak and tasted like water. We asked our server if she could make more but she said it would just come out the same. Please work on making a good pot of coffee to offer your guests. I don’t think we are alone in wanting to enjoy a great cup of coffee with our breakfast. We will definitely visit again. Thank you!“

“Great place to eat!!!!!!!!“

“My husband and I arrived just before closing on a Sunday night. The staff was incredibly kind---even welcomed us with a smile.
Our server was Melissa. She was attentive and and treated us as if it was the beginning of her shift. I am now re-evaluating how I approach my employment. I finished my meal inspired to do a better job where I work---and most of all, to be more kind.
Thank you to all of those working on a Sunday night February 23, 2025.“
