“Been here for brunch, which was really good, but their burgers are out of this world. Apps and sides are really good too. Only knock is it's a bar with really good food not a really good restaurant with a bar. But that's me being picky and sober for 10 years.“

“Brickyard Bar is close to the Oberlin College campus. Very handy for before/after a game. Even has a patio and lots of parking. Service was a little slow but great once they arrived. Portions were generous and VERY tasty. ( burgers and Cuban sandwiches)“

“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!“

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

“This place is AMAZING!!!!!! Hidden gem!!!! I'm so glad we stopped to eat here!!!! We ordered the brisket with Mac & cheese, mondo burger, and the chopchz Philly. EVERYTHING was delicious. The Mac & cheese was literally the BEST mac & cheese I've ever eaten at a restaurant. The brisket was GREAT!!!! Burger was cooked perfect. I brought the chop chopchz Philly home to my husband and he ate it COLD and still thought it was good!!!! The atmosphere was inviting, restaurant was clean, waitress was very friendly and attentive. We live outside of Toledo but whenever we are back out this way we will DEFINITELY stop by again!!!“

“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“

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

“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 new spot awesome service thanks Eric, Zay, and Nick“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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...“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good drinks,food & SERVICE“

“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!“

“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 place to eat!!!!!!!!“

“I love this place the server are wonderful and management is concern about how your treated the place is clean clean clean and safety is #1 priority“

“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.“
