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

“We had a party of 7, with 3 kids. We weren’t sure how “kid friendly” it would be. We were pleasantly surprised. Everything we got was great. My little one was very impressed with the size of the chicken tenders. The shrimp tacos were really good and our waitress was great!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Me and my fiancé chose this place on a whim to get dinner, best food choice we’ve ever made. We split FOUR different entrees, two different burgers, a BLT and wings. Absolutely incredible. The mac n cheese is EASILY the best I’ve ever had. I will absolutely be recommending this place to everyone I know, and i live two hours away!!! (We don’t have any pictures because we ate it all LOL)“

“Blue sky has always been a great place. My husband and I would come here with our grandpas as teens. Now we come and soon we will bring our son when he is born. Needless to say we’ve tried A LOT from their menu. Prices still rival any place especially with the portion you get. Always great food, good service and even if there was an off day blue sky’s management has always made it right however in my experience we haven’t really had an issue. Today we stopped in for breakfast after our dr app. I got a corned beef hash omelette, hubby got the western skillet and we shared some biscuits and gravy. Waitress was great. Food was hot and delicious as usual. Very happy. We’ve tried a lot of diners in the surrounding areas and blue sky (we decided today) is our favorite local diner. Never disappoints us!“

“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. :)“

“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’ve been hearing about this place under new management. It’s a big 10/10! I was passing through Cleveland and veered off. So glad I did! Cool vibe, service and food! I have to tell you it’s probably the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had. The quality of meat and the amount. Homemade chips and dip as a side highly recommend.. I originally couldn’t decide between that or one of his famous Bill Boys pizzas- so I decided to take a hot Hawaiian pizza home with me. The owner, Bill, said it would heat back up nicely and let me tell you, it sure does.!! so my recommendation is never leave that place without one of his specialty pizzas!! A big wow!! An affordable, true meal arrives faster than a drive through chain! Sit down, relax and enjoy! BTW Save room for ice cream ….“

“My wife is fighting cancer and was hungry for a foot long hot dog. The young lady who took my order was very polite and professional. She quickly returned with the food which looked and smelled delicious. My wife was very pleased with her meal, and I would like to thank Dogs n Suds for a wonderful experience.“

“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!“

“Saw a really nice sunset from our table at this restaurant. We ordered steaks and had some of the fun fancy drinks they offer. The place wasn't terribly busy at the particular time we came, so the service was stellar, our server was very pleasant and she also was thrilled about the sunset, asking us if we had seen it. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the sides were very yummy, and the quantity was enough that we took so home and ended up making two more meals each out of the leftovers. Well worth the money

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator that works smoothly, from the parking lot to the restaurant level.“

“We are from NH just passing thru on a roadtrip. Enjoyed the food. Service and prices were great!“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

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

“Met my son-in-law for lunch, as we sat outside on the front porch enjoying the day I decided to try the new "Chunky Hunky", their answer to the dearly beloved, and now gone, Joe's Hungarian burger.Was a decent imitation but I feel needs to be refined if it wants to compete head to head. Found it to be a bit "dry" for my taste and could have used a few more onions & shrooms.Ordered fries on the side and they were crispy & plentiful. Our hostess, Amanda, was on spot and pleasant, a true delight.❤️My son in law had the stuffed peppers and the chicken sandwich, both were "DEEELICIOUS", according to him!! I hear the tacos & wings are more reasons to stop at the LaGrange Tavern, guess I need to go back!!!“

“Great steak that melts in your mouth! Owner has awesome personality as well. Will be back for sure!!“

“Everything you would want in a sports bar and grill. Lots and lots of televisions. Not a bad seat to watch sports.
Great, happy, friendly service and quite a large menu selection of burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, and entrees.
I recommend the burgers and tots. You can't go wrong with them. And they're reasonably priced for the portions and quality.
I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed with anything. ?“

“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“

“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 :)“

“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.“
