“The team at 1833 killed it with my dinner today! The food was very very good, it came out prompt and the server (Jenna) was amazing. I would highly highly recommend. The steak frites were fantastic“

“I have eaten here a couple times and always great food. great service I definitely will be back.“

“Great people, great bar, great food. 🔥“

“This was our first time going to Oberlin. A friend recommended we try The Feve. We had plenty of options to try as the menu is rather extensive. I tried the fried egg sandwich and fries and it was quite good. My husband had the bacon burger with avocado and said it was tasty. Probably would’ve given higher numbers on our review but our waitress seemed bored, the areas around the tables definitely needed cleaned up. The music was good, not too loud.“

“We went with another family after a big day at an apple orchard. We had two hungry, tired toddlers and an infant. We chose this place because it came up as a family friendly option and it really was!

Our waitress was very kind but not overbearing. The place is decorated for Halloween which was really cool. The food was great as well - we got two appetizers and everyone had an entree and we all enjoyed them.

We were a little worried taking the kids in because we’re not screen parents. We don’t let our children run wild but they’re definitely louder than kids who are distracted by a tablet and headphones. The other customers and staff were so kind, though, and shared smiles with the kids. Would sefinitely go back!

We were surprised when, as we finished up, our waitress informed us that a couple that already left had paid our bill. If you’re that couple, THANK YOU SO MUCH! The 4 of us parents were amazed and grateful for the kindness we experienced here!“

“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!“

“Love the place but was a bit taken back when I paid in cash at the bar. Never got my change it was assume their tip a bit odd to assume wasn’t worth talking about it next time it will be on a credit card“

“Fantastic Atmosphere. It's a local Gem Hiding in Elyria. I Have not encountered any poor visits. Food is always good. They will hook you up with their seasonal beverages and entrée's. Tell them Sashi reccomended it.“

“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!!!“

“There was 7 of us total including 2 kids that came in for dinner. It was busy and we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. The waitress was wonderful and attentive, food was good. My daughter ordered the pancakes and I am not a big pancake person but they tasted so good! We love blue sky and will be back for sure!“

“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. :)“

“This place is awesome! I live in Columbus but I get to the area often and I love going here. It has a really cool diner atmosphere, diner level pricing but super upscale level food. Every single thing I’ve ever had there is amazing, and there are some unique recipes that are great. Staff is always super friendly. Highly recommended!“

“📍 Flippin Jerry’s – Elyria, OH 🎶🔥🍔 Food truck vibes done right. With lights flashing, music playing, and the crew clearly having a blast, Flippin Jerry’s isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Here’s what we tried today (and LOVED): 🍔 Kickin Jerry Burger – 8.3/10 Wagyu beef. Pepper jack. Fried pickled jalapeños. CLE Campfire BBQ sauce. 🔥 This thing had heat, flavor, and balance. Every bite delivered a spicy, smoky punch. A seriously good burger. 🍟 Zippy Fries – Elevated fry game Hot, crisp, and tossed with garlic & parsley — way more than just a side. These fries hold their own. 🥤 Chocolate Malt Shake – Dessert MVP Rich, creamy, and dangerously drinkable. Almost grabbed a second. No regrets, just restraint. If you see this food truck around Elyria or the CLE area, do yourself a favor — go try it. Good food, good people, and a vibe that makes you want to hang out all day. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Amazing food and service! Best breakfast in a long time. Everything was done perfectly, the food was nice and hot! Our waitress was amazing, did not catch her name, she was so sweet! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you all and compliments to the chef!“

“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!“

“Food was good, but the temperature in there is ridiculous. With all the business you have, I think you can afford central air. Definitely won't go again in the Summer.“

“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..“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“We ate there over the weekend... i had the roast beef sandwich... it was awful.... roast beef was tough on two hard pieces of bread and the mashed potatoes weren't good no taste... don;t waste your money plenty of other places that have goof food.“

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

“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“

“LaGrange Tavern Review

LaGrange Tavern is a cozy neighborhood spot with a laid-back atmosphere and solid American pub fare. The menu includes classics like burgers, wings, and sandwiches, often with a creative twist. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bar has a good selection of beers and cocktails. Service is friendly and efficient. Great for casual nights out, watching a game, or grabbing a bite with friends.“

“Great wings great bartender and nice atmosphere!“

“Decided to visit after looking for a place on the water for food and drinks. Our experience did not disappoint! Brittany, our server, was very attentive during our visit and the food and drinks were delicious. As luck would have it, we arrived during happy hour for 1/2 appetizers...bonus!“

“First, shout out to Lena, our server, who's consistently hospitable, friendly & helpful, a true asset to Applebee's corporation! Applebee's offers a vast selection of delicious & fun food on their menu. There are plenty of TVs to be enjoyed no matter where you're seated. Ambiance is quite laid back & comfortable!“

“The food was worth the wait!!! Burgers were cooked to order perfectly and seasoned well. The quantity of sides were geneous. Chicken philly was juicy and very good. We went and they were very busy but luckily there is alot of seating, with that in mind the servers were very busy and did a great job.“

“Good drinks,food & SERVICE“

“Food is excellent, as well as the service. Ask for David he will take great care of you!“

“I ordered the Honey Chicken French toast. There was no honey. It was a dry piece of chicken. No syrup or honey on the side. It was dry disappointment. The cups of butter that were in with the biscuits was totally melted and the lids weren't on all the way so all the butter was in the bottom of the biscuit box.“

“Great service. Great food. Peaceful atmosphere.“

“We are not frequent flyers to Applebees but we went last week & had a good experience so we decided to go again. Tonight our waitress Rebecca went above & beyond as I can be a tough please I have a lot of requests & special orders well Rebecca came to our table with a smile & asking use with enthusiasm what we would like to drink I was kind of taken back because these days service with a smile is lacking but not with Rebecca she was all smiles & happy to get & fill all my requests as she was serving a lot of other guests. She did so with a smile! She also made sure to keep checking to make sure we were happy & everything was good. Food was on!! It was delicious! We are impressed ! We will be back for sure.“

“Amber A was an amazing server!
My party came in late but she provided great service and made sure we were taken care of.

We don’t go to Buffalo Wild Wings often. But this such a great experience, we will be back.“

“Food was good and had a decent waiter“
