“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 had a retirement party here for 30. They were so accommodating. We had wonderful food,wonderful service and a great time! It was so good that my family all went back the next night for my brother in laws Birthday! P.S. If you go, you have to get the fried Provolone cheese! The best!!! I would recommend, that they at least get a keurig for people wanting coffee.“

“Grew up in good ole Elyria but moved away several years ago. Drove all the way back because I missed this joint and ordered the Chicken Melt just as is and goodness it was immaculate. So glad they havent changed a thing and even the prices are still good <3“

“We have ordered on DoorDash many times but finally made it in to eat in person. I am ALWAYS satisfied with the food. You guys have ruined salads for me because nothing comes close to the blackened chicken salad anywhere else lol the brisket nachos are top notch and I love the French onion dip with the chips. The inside is what you’d expect from a locally owned bar…it’s homey and feels like the kind of place that has a lot of regulars. Definitely one of our go to meals!“

“The first time I came in today and let me tell you it was fantastic I can honestly say that the BBQ pork sandwich was good and the flurry was top notch it was so good I ordered me seconds of the cookie dough it might honestly be better than diary queens lovely people here!“

“We just wanted to give the Dawg House a HUGE shoutout and recommendation as the BEST sports bar and live music venue in all of Lorain County!! Not only do we play there periodically, our members frequent the Dawg House for their outstanding service, food and drink menu, and tremendous selection of live music acts on our nights off of gigging. Eric (owner) is the best bar owner we know, and he makes everyone feel welcomed and special when they visit. His staff is top notch, friendly and extremely attentive. If you want an outstanding experience watching sports, live music, playing trivia, or just enjoying their amazing food, you’ve found your place!!! 5 stars for sure!“

“Great place and will go again soon“

“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.“

“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..“

“Susie was our server today. She was excellent! She was so kind and continuously checked on us to make sure we were doing good. My husband moved here recently and said this was the best food he’s had. We will be returning and asking for Susie if she’s available.“

“Love this place! Great Breakfasts. If you go away hungry, it's your own fault.“

“I stopped in here early on a Saturday morning before going to a local car dealership to purchase a truck. There weren't many customers in the restaurant yet, so I was seated right away. I ordered the two eggs breakfast with three slices of bacon, home fries and two slices of toast (you have a choice of bread). The food was great, as if it was cooked at home. Service was fast and my waitress topped off my coffee twice before I left. If you're looking for a place to get a nice homestyle breakfast, this is it.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. This place is hard to beat. Family dining atmosphere but the food is really great! Awesome menu with things you won't find anywhere else. Attached ice cream parlor is also a big hit with the kids!“

“Good food yum! I so missed being able to come here delicious! Shake was very good!“

“Enjoyed our meals Sunday. First time diners. Nice unique atmosphere, seated in stall #3. So much variety on the menu and with the specials. My chicken ranch wrap and chicken and rice soup were exceptional. If we are in the area again we'll stop by!“

“Whitney was our server. she was very polite and the service was outstanding!!“

“After our initial order of food, the waitress had to come back twice to tell us that although we had both ordered the same dish, there was only one left. So we reordered something else
only to have the waitress come back again to say that the one order was also now gone and we need to reorder again. It was frustrating. However, the food that we did order was good. Things were slow getting out of the kitchen but the wait staff was excellent. Nice location on the river in the water.“

“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.“

“Having some good eats with the family last night. We love that they have exclusive Mountain Dew Dark Berry Bash flavor that one can only get when eating at Applebee’s. For quite some time those Wonton Tacos have been a favorite of mine. Most everyone else opts for a burger & fries to order when we stop by. I do love the mini bite of brownie & ice cream for only $1.99. Perfect when you want a small portion of dessert.

Vegetarian options: They have several options for the vegan in the family.

Parking: Parking located outside the building

Kid-friendliness: Kids have different choices as well…smaller portions too.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Since trying Bowl Thyme about a month ago, they have quickly become my favorite restaurant. The food here is on another level. Every bowl I’ve had has been fresh and flavorful. The meats in their bowls are amazing! The atmosphere is cozy, beautiful and welcoming, which makes enjoying their food in the restaurant a nice experience. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and a nice atmosphere, this is it.“

“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. ?“

“Great wings great bartender and nice atmosphere!“

“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“

“Best food in town ?

Vegetarian options: Veggie rap and multiple options of fruit bowls and salads

Kid-friendliness: Staff is family based

Wheelchair accessibility: Staff happy to help senior and disabled“

“My sister and I had breakfast there this morning - one of the best country fried steaks I’ve had in a long time. Everything we had was cooked correctly. Our waitress Lauren was one of the best waitresses ever. Thank you for a great breakfast and we will be back.“

“Great place. My friends brought me here for my birthday. The place is clean, everyone was friendly and service was excellent. Jakob was our waiter. He greated us immediately, gave us time to go over the menu and our food as served quickly. I ordered the burger with pulled pork & bacon, one of my friends ordered the fish dinner and the other had the bison burger. You will never go home hungry. Great service, great food at a good price. You can't go wrong. I highly recommend them and will definitely go back.“

“The Applebee’s team was wonderful. All the food was wonderful. I’m not sure when you read this but at the time they’re doing a half-price appetizers after 9 PM. I’m not sure about the weekend. But Applebee’s is always a good place to stop.“
