“We traveled here from Ashland, Ky on the recommendation of some friends from “The Laidback” to try the pizza that we were told was amazing.

Gary’s place also referred to as Swamps is kinda in a remote location but only 4 miles from Oak Hill; completely surrounded by swamp and marsh land so hence the name “Swamps”. On first glance it may not look like much but after entering and ordering food it was obvious that this was the watering hole for the locals, as everyone seemed to know everyone. It was apparent to them we were not from around there but was completely welcomed. As the locals inquired about where we were from and what brought us to the area and learning we came to try the pizza we were told we were in for a treat. They were absolutely right!! The pizza was super cheesy (no need to ask for extra cheese) and with only 2 toppings one slice seemed to weigh 3lbs. The pizza definitely didn’t disappoint as it was absolutely amazing! The locals assured me that any food we ordered was good and was told next time to try a sub or wings.

P.S. a 12” would definitely be enough for 2 people as we ordered a 16” and ended up taking half a pizza home.”

“Excellent breakfast! Great service! Friendly staff! We will definitely be going back😁”

“Beautiful autumn Saturday afternoon—perfect for caramel apple slushies and wood fired pizza at Merry Family Winery in Bidwell, Ohio.

The slushies are made with both their Sweet Granny Smith and Liberty Apple Wines.

Eddie got a Mountain Dew (his signature drink) since he’s driving but I got a slushie and a flight of the Mothman Legend, Homestead Red, and Zinfully Merry. All three were Gwen-worthy, which is saying a lot since my palate is still acclimated to Amador County Zinfandels. I have a hard time finding wines I like out here.

I went home a Mothman Legend (the last bottle with the old label) for me and a Zinfully Merry for Eddie. Hes not much of a drinker, but if he ever wants to join me with a glass on the back porch, he likes white Zinfandel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my slushie and wine flight, and we both liked the Hawaiian pizza.

Merry Family Winery is located at 2376 OH-850 in Bidwell, Ohio, down the road from Gallipolis.

“My favorite family owned restaurant!! So many choices that you can satisfy the whole family! Desserts don't get me started on those! I love their strawberry shortcake it's like a piece of heaven!”

“It's a nice place. Not the cheapest, but nice. Rio needs a slightly fancy place to eat. If Kali's would add some seating and atmosphere, the prices would make sense. Still good overall.”

“Excellent BBQ with very generous portions. Best we have had in SE Ohio! Friendly staff. One can save 4% by paying with cash. Highly recommend!”

“This morning we were looking for a place to have a snack. We went to this cafe. We liked that they were very clean. We spent a long time choosing what to eat because they have a good selection of menu items. Fresh products. Friendly staff. We poured lemonade by mistake, but we wanted water and they didn’t charge us for the lemonade.”

“If you are in between Athens/Rio Grande definitely go here, their drinks and food are excellent. If you are want to just go there for just dinner and drinks they have a building for that. If you just want to go there to rave, guess what they have a building for that also, plus an awesome outdoor deck where you can play pool!! Literally the only bar/restuarant in rio grande except for bob Evans”

“chess flat are the boom 💥”

“The Bob Evans farm festival was wonderful! So much to do and so many vendors to browse. The museum and log cabin village were awesome. The entire farm is beautiful.”

“Being an actual consumer, they're food is actually an incredible deal. They have fresh, good quality food for less than the chain stores like mc d's and bk. The prices are what's great about here. Yesterday 3 big sandwiches, two shakes, and fries for 22$ can't beat it. Keep it up shake shoppe!”

“great managers!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Made a stop for gas and few miles away and needed better food than burgers etc.
At the time, this location was slightly inconvenient and just 'another' Subway until we got inside.
Once inside, visually, it was Subway. What made this Subway stand out was the service.
The gentleman behind the counter was patient and very courteous. My stop was 8 hours into a 17 hour drive and his politeness and frankly, hospitality was very much appreciated.
The sandwiches were great, but it was the customer service that stands out for me.
Great experience and thanks again.”

“Quick service . One of the girls who works there is amazing she's a newer employee but always has a smile and greats u and is always helpful with suggestions and making ur sub”

“It is a great place to get vegetarian stuff!”
