“My husband and I had our micro-wedding dinner at Sortino’s and we could not have had a better experience! Charity, the restaurants’ general manager, and her team went above and beyond to make the evening so incredibly memorable and perfect. Charity made sure Mr. Sortino himself stopped by to meet us and spend time with us- making our night even more special 💕. Don’t even get me started on the food! Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala and the Anti-Pasta Board. Only complaint is how far away from us Sortino’s is (we live in Virginia) ☺️. Thank you so much to Charity, our server, Nick (I believe), Giorgio, and the entire Sortino’s staff!”
“Visited Sandusky Oh location Amanda was great & very friendly & made the experience very nice. Service was fast & food was great!”
“Went here for my anniversary and we had the best service. They made sure we felt special on our anniversary. The food was amazing as well. The pesto chicken and shrimp pasta and meatball rigatoni were amazing!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The waitress was amazing the place was clean and inviting. There were 5 of us and we all ordered the ribeye. There was so much pepper on these steaks most of us could not eat it all. The other food was good but the steak was very disappointing.”
“Sweet employees, delicious food and smoothies and all in a safe no gluten environment. Places like these make my heart and tummy so happy. 5 stars!! ⭐️ Try the salted Carmel smoothie, harvest salad and pesto tomato grilled cheese!! SO good!”
“Amazing place which is why I drive over an hour to come here BUT my only complaint is if they can post when their kitchen is closed. They post everything else on their Facebook but not their kitchen hours. Other than me crying about the kitchen this place is amazing.”

“This is my favorite go to spot it’s delicious and clean and staff is friendly. The only thing I would change is that they’d open up another store in vermilion/amherst so we could enjoy it more often. I feel like it would thrive this way considering there’s no other froyo near by! Might be something to look into.”
“Truly disappointed ☹️- got the most expensive item on the menu - lobster and grits - it was very salty and the grits were not southern grits - they were bland - I’m used to having the dark gravy (made with coffee). Don’t good chefs taste their food - and I couldn’t enjoy any taste of the lobster! Waited so long to go there- wasted a very expensive meal!!”
“I've eaten there more than a few times and tonight, the change in bar staff really showed. I planned on ordering my favorite pizza in town- the Cubano, which has always been good with the mustard taste at the top and i ordered desert to go and sporadically added an app. All my bad there for bothering this poor soul behind the bar, asking why this pizza was covered in mayo, i guess they added more "honey mustard aioli" and shoved it back at me but it's going no where but the trash, so I paid, tipped, and as I left this poor man mutters "i wish I wasn't here" I get about 3 dinners a year, if that, alone without my kids and I'll go where your old bartender is next time, or anywhere that will fix their mistake and not shrug at me. I'm not here for Bike Week 🤷♀️ You re only as strong as your local supporters and I'm so sad my favorite pizza is just mayo now. He said they added more the cold sauce, what? Just what I needed, more sauce. I already asked once, he was clearly done with his night and honestly I can just take my money somewhere else, it doesn't matter. I know.”
“Great little neighborhood place. The food is as close to homemade as you can get without going into the kitchen to cook it yourself! The breakfast burrito with half sausage and half chorizo was just fantastic, and it will fill your tank for sure,,,
Parking: Parking lot surrounds the building.
Wheelchair accessibility: Tight turn to get a W-chair in the doors, would recommend a W-chail enter the door that faces the drive through next door.”
“Loved this place! The staff were all friendly, the vibe is chill, and the food was phenomenal!
For any fellow vegans, our waitress, Kai double checked with one of the managers/owners and the Veggie Ramen is vegan! It's so worth it, and the spicy sauce they have on the table really made the ramen shine, if you like things to have a little spice. The only other vegan option in the menu is the edamame appetizer.
My partner got the spicy ramen with pork belly and he said it was delicious as well!
Kai was wonderful! Very friendly, accommodating, and checked on us the perfect amount.
Highly recommend stopping here if you're in town looking for some delicious vegan, or non vegan, ramen!”
“I love this place so much! Everything is always on point. I try something new everytime I go and it's always amazing! I
I'm also a craft beer lover and the CLAG beers are amazing!!”
“Tom and his wife are amazing. 😍 The food was perfect and the atmosphere of the biergarten was to die for. will be back VERY soon🤤”

“Steven was our server last night and he was an absolute delight! Everything was wonderful! Steven greeted us asking if we were celebrating anything and it just so happened we were there for our twins birthday. He immediately handed them each an arcade card. So sweet! The food was quick, hot and delicious! We will definitely be back again next time we come to kalahari!”

“My daughter and I came in this afternoon after volunteering for the iron man we were starving… we sat at another downtown restaurant for over 20 minutes being completely ignored while everyone around us was being served so we ended up leaving and coming here… we sat outside a women greeted us at the door apologized and said there was only one server outside so it might be a minute.. which was amazing considering the last place we were at. We had a guy server can’t remember his name but he was great.. even though we did wait for a minute it was okay because we were acknowledged and not ignored. Server was super friendly and nice the food was DELICIOUS! 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!”
“Was there Sunday. There were five of us. Kelly at the bar was amazing as always! All our food was great! I must add that I ordered the grilled salmon.... AMAZING! You must try. TJ came to check on us and as always... HE'S THE BEST!
Must stop by place when in town or headed to or from Cedar Point.”
“The food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time, but what really made our night was that our server noticed my daughter was sad and promptly worked to fix the situation. She was kind and awesome, and we are grateful.”

“The ribs are always cooked to perfection but my go to is a nice juicy beef brisket sandwich. The sides ( green beans, smoked beans, mac n cheese, etc) all tasty with great flavor. Assorted limited edition items and desserts are a fun surprise and never fail to be just as good as their bbq. Great customer service every time I stop there. Worth the drive and the money.”
“Best fish and chips - super friendly and quick service. They were fantastic!! Our kids enjoyed too and they are picky eaters :) bravo!”
“We had an awesome experience at Danny Boys—the food was seriously top-notch across the board… except for the feta bruschetta dip. That one really missed the mark. It didn’t have much flavor, and the texture just didn’t work. The crackers were all broken, so it was nearly impossible to actually scoop the dip without making a mess. Compared to how great the rest of the menu is, the dip felt like it came from a totally different place. Just being honest—it’s the only thing we wouldn’t order again. Everything else? Phenomenal!”
“My family and I dined at Casa Real in Sandusky, OH. yesterday July 12, 2025. Overall it was a great experience. I only took one star on the overall rating because seating was cramped, but then again I am 6'5" so I guess that makes a difference. However what make my experience exceptional was the service. Our waitress name was Dianna. Wow, she is awesome. She took care of us better than any waitress that I have had probably ever, and that is saying something because I've been around for a wh ile and love to eat out. She kept our drinks full and everytime we needed something she was there and got it for us quickly and didn't forget anything. And believe me, they were super busy, but our family needs were met very very quickly and always with a smile. Dianna, I hope you and your boss can read this, I want to thank you for such a great experience. You have a new customer at least as long as you work there.”

“The food at Daly’s is always good. Extensive menu and daily food specials keep me coming back. Always quick service from friendly bartenders. A staple in Sandusky that’s been around forever for a reason! Plenty of room for everyone with a huge bar and a large dining room.”
“Great people , and wine . Great history here if into wine need to make it a stop. Will be back many times I am sure Also have great option of gluten free cauliflower pizza”
“Absolutely outstanding and efficient customer service from Ryan! He made our experience 10 times better and boy was he on it! Thanks Ryan!”
“Ted, my server was incredible. He treated me and my party like family. The drinks were incredible and came out so quickly, try a home brew! The food was cooked perfectly and the seasoning and flavor were on point. I honestly can't say enough good things about the place! I will be back every time I'm in town.”

“Looking to unwind look no further! Happy, friendly faces in every direction! Staff is fast and super accommodating! For those of us who never know what our drink order they have a ton of tasty house specials.. FYI the fishbowls will get it done!”

“Love enjoying a cocktail with a burger and fries while seating on a pier! Once your order is in, it’s usually quick service. Beautiful fun spot to enjoy lunch. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been delicious. Definitely recommend if you enjoy outdoor seating and don’t mind a little occasional wind. This is also my GF’s favorite spot in town.”
“The food is fantastic, the beer/drinks are inexpensive and great daily specials. The only problem is if you are not sitting at the bar and are at a table; you are forgotten. You are waiting to get your order taken, refills and your check. Went there last night and there were 3 ‘waitresses’ and they spent all their time at the bar and forgot about the tables. There were only 8 people sitting at the bar!”
“really nice little bar off the beaten path...”
“My teenagers and I were in town for a softball tournament and found this gem Friday morning for breakfast . The food was great and the price was super! The owner and staff were so kind to us and very welcoming . We returned Saturday for lunch and again a great experience . Their food is so good ! Hopefully I can return there again for a visit ! Highly recommend!!”
“On Saturday may 14th our son held his marriage ceremony and reception there. It was absolutely beautiful. The care we received was outstanding. The food was amazing. Could not of asked for it to be any better. Thank you Julie for the care you and your amazing stafe provided us!”
“Our family always uses El Grand Patron for big events, birthdays, retirement parties and most recent they hosted our family luncheon after the passing of a family member. I can’t say enough, every single time they have not disappointed us and have been very accommodating, efficient and willing to work with us. I highly recommend them for all your events.”
“We love Twisted 3! Great food including huge salads and fair prices. It can get busy which can occasionally slow things down, but with the aforementioned great prices I couldn’t care less. Yes you have to buy a key card after a few visits but you make that money back quick in savings.”
“Great people, great service, great Energy, best healthy drinks and packages and snacks. Terrific smiles that you don’t see anymore! Always thinking of different ideas for drinks! Great! Great! Great!”
“Weekend trip to the area. Family liked it so much, we ate there twice.”
“thanks craig for shearing ---yes your dad was a good man and he made sure No one took advantage of the dancers. He would tell you to leave if you got out of hand, i know”
“Great deals as well as have everything for all your family members! Make this your one stop shop! And also love the food at the cafe can take the kids there to eat and not break the bank!”
“Ordered the brisket with Mac n cheese.
Very tasty, juicy and seasoned meat, some of the best I’ve had.
Mac n cheese was good but needed salt.
Corn bread was great!”
“We come here every year to meet friends and we are never disappointed. This year was especially wonderful because of our waitress, Kitanna (I'm not sure of the spelling). She was not only a staff member but also a friend. She deserves a raise!”
“A great new addition to Cedar Point! The food was really good and the line went really quick. Awesome composite furniture with lots of outdoor seating and a nice atmosphere. You can use your unlimited drink here.”

“I was really impressed with the service in the bakery today. It's 2 days until Thanksgiving, so of course they were super busy. I needed a Boston Cream Pie for my son's birthday. I asked for help because I couldn't find one, and Jen went in the back to look (twice), got one out of the freezer, and then wrote on it for me with icing, smiling the whole time. I could have cried, because I didn't want to disappoint my son, but Jen delivered! Many thanks Jen! Also, Cathy, the cashier, is another gem. Always courteous & smiling, even 2 days before a major food holiday! Thanks again”

“Fantastic people, I have been buying perch by the 11 pound box for years and actually 2 boxes per year and have never , in repeat never found a bone. The people on here that score less than 5 stars are full of crap! People that wait on me are great ……. Take another look, this place and people are above the rest!!”
