“Big Shout out to The Pancake House!!!!The food and drinks were so good. The timing and service was great. The first time I went there were 2 of us, and this time we had a group of 8. Everyone in our group got something different, and everyone was satisfied. Thank you Brooke for the awesome service, and thank you Shelby for bringing us to this wonderful restaurant! it did not disappoint.”

“Delicious food! I would recommend to try this place.”

“We came in at 8:30 PM after leaving the mall. It was pretty quiet and we were quickly shown to a nice booth.

Quite a few things on the menu excited me. I had to have takoyaki, and I'd been reading about Korean noodles so I figured I'd have those. I ordered mine with chicken for an extra $2. My husband is a kung po nut, so he got kung po and added beef for $2.50. I ordered hot tea and my husband got a regular coke (coke products.)

My tea arrived and a few minutes later the takoyaki came. They were six beautiful crispy balls of delicious creamy batter with a little nugget of tender octopus in the center. They were drizzled in mayonnaise and eel sauce, and topped with bonito flakes and thin nori strips. They were absolutely fantastic.

When our meals came you could actually *smell* the kiss of the wok. I tasted a bit of kung po, and I have to say it was refreshingly savory. For once the kung po was not smothered in a cloyingly sweet brown sauce, instead the sauce was balanced and subtle. For me at least it was superior to any other local kung po l've tasted. It had a nice balance of spiciness because they'd actually bloomed red chilis in their starting oil. One minor quibble would be that it was missing crunch. A handful of peanuts would have added nice contrast.

My Korean noodles were not what I expected: the thicker wheat noodles, meat, and veggies in the rich, sweet, deep brown sauce. Instead they were ramen noodles in a light, savory, creamy sauce that really complimented rhe bean sprouts, chicken, bok choi, and Chinese scallions. It was unexpected, but I could have licked the plate clean. I could have added some of the chili condiment or soy sauce also on the table, but why mess with perfection?

Perfection. The wait staff were the embodiment of professional and attended to us quickly and effortlessly. They answered my request for an extra napkin in seconds -- a takoyaki dumpling jumped off of my chopsticks. I swear it did! 🤣

We settled our bill and tipped well. We left well-satisfied with the service, the food, and the cost, just as a crowd came in!

Next time I want to try their pad Thaï. I'll get around to ramen eventually. Oh, and I think they've changed their name. The location is the same! 🙂”

“Best food I’ve personally had in Ohio”

“Hands down best coffee in town. Friendly staff. Fair prices. Always recommend.”

“Everything is great! My breakfast favorites are the Mexican omelet or skillet. They treat you like family. If you're craving something not on the menu just ask and they'll prolly make it for you, great peoples there, keep up the good work, always amazing food!”

“After an appt my husband had in Norwalk we stopped here for the first time in 10 years since I became gf. It was a magical Christmas wonderland as soon as we opened the door! Decked to the hilt and the special holiday menu was Christmas all the way with drinks too. I had a cold iced cocoa that had a rim of Vanilla Icing dipped in marshmallows! Are you KIDDING ME?🎄”

“This is the most professional Crumbl business I have ever been to. The desserts are prepared just as the picture on the app. I have been to multiple locations in Ohio and haven’t been as pleased as I am with this location. Everything is always spot on. Keep up the good work!”

“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 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!”

“Love the vibe at Crush. Good food and great drink selection.”

“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!”

“The restaurant re-opened in April, 2024! Nice little neighborhood eatery. Staff is friendly. The food is basic, but very good. Prices are reasonable”

“We came after a basketball tournament with a party of 25. Outstanding service by Mike and a young woman I didn’t catch her name and the food was out of the world good. The online reservations was the cherry on top! Thank you!”

“Absolutely outstanding and efficient customer service from Ryan! He made our experience 10 times better and boy was he on it! Thanks Ryan!”

“Our first night of our vacation and we had a fabulous dinner at Famous Dave’s at Cedar Point! Great food, fantastic service from our waitress Terry! The bar staff made us some fabulous Rum Punch drinks too. Good atmosphere and clean as well. See you tomorrow night! Tonya”

“Food was good! Olive Garden always has big portions which is a good thing. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because our server disappeared for a good 10-15 mins when we were ready to pay the check. But other than that, everything else is good and will be back for sure when I am back in this area.”

“Tammy. W was an Aaaaamazing server!
She was always attentive, smiling and so very kind, kindness goes such a long way!

We had the pleasure of eating at the buffet. Which was phenomenal, compliments to the chefs. We had a delicious steak, cheese, pepper & mushroom omelette! The food was definitely something to brag about!

Job well done team, we will be back to visit this restaurant!!! Kalahari found a gem 💎!”

“Just ordered a small cheese pizza with green peppers. I asked for the top to have a little brown. This pizza was as I asked and it taste so good!!”

“Excellent food and outstanding service! The fish tacos and walleye were delicious. Our server mentioned that each server has support from a drink runner, busser, and food runner, and it really showed. The teamwork kept everything running smoothly, and we never had to wait for anything. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Outstanding! The food was wonderful and the atmosphere equally good. We will be back without a doubt. Our server Lori was amazing as well.”

“Great food"…………………………………,”

“I stopped on a whim on the way home from a day trip. BEST BBQ I’ve had since my last visit to Kansas City!!!! Super sweet people and quick service too.”

“I love the atmosphere here & the Owner is amazing. Best Soup & Salad Bar in Sandusky”

“Only one employee on Valentine’s Night - the place was packed but the young woman was doing her best. She was efficient and courteous- most people her age would not have handled themselves so well. She deserves a raise!!!”

“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.”

“I’ve never eaten anywhere that you could so easily tell that everything was made in house. The food was absolutely incredible with their meatballs being our favorite item. The steaks were cooked perfectly with a fresh sear that stayed on the outside and such a tender and even cook inside. Decor is really cute and made a great dinner date atmosphere. Our server was great. Super attentive and really engaging when she did stop by.”

“Always a great meal! And always leftovers. Service is always great and we will always come back!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Patina Porch has become one of our absolute favorite places. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is airy, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff are just as warm as the space itself. They’re always happy to adjust things to your tastes, and as someone with a gluten allergy, it means a lot that they genuinely take it seriously and go out of their way to make sure I’m taken care of. My fiancé Chad and I also love browsing the beautiful antiques, upcycled items, and plants. It makes every visit feel like a little experience beyond just stopping in. Over time, the staff have become friends, and we’ve even met new friends along the way while spending time there. It’s also one of our favorite places to bring people who are visiting or to introduce friends to, because we know they’ll love it as much as we do. We also love their trivia nights on Thursdays. It’s always a fun reason to come back and spend time there. Patina Porch is one of those rare places that feels both special and comfortable at the same time, and we’re always happy to come back.”

“really nice little bar off the beaten path...”

“Best cocktails with the best bartender! Love this place!”

“The wings are fantastic, I’ll need to go back for the other menu items, but if the wings are that good then I’m sure everything else is too.”

“Best food ever! They gave us the best chille dog and chicken sandwich I've ever had! They are great people who run this drive through! They deserve more than 5 stars!!!!”

“Great environment, speedy service, management working directly with the crew. Awesome!”

“Took my little brother Jay and they were really amazing with kids and great treats!”

“We visited last week while renting a condo about a block from Tony's for a week. We found this place by accident, just strolling thru town. Our son wanted wings and it was the first place with a menu our family of 4 could all agree upon. We came in from the back and up the patio to enter and weren't sure what to put expect. We were impressed with the interior and that it was the first restaurant (4th overall in Sandusky on our trip) with an adequate cooling system. We were all impressed with our choices. My husband had the Greek cheesesteak and loved it. I couldn't decide between the mac & cheese hot dog or the French Dip. Our server JP a suggested the French Dip and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. I think their seasoned mayo is what makes their sandwiches! The daughter and I both got the mac and cheese. She said it was the best mac & cheese she's ever had and she's never impressed. If we are ever back in Sandusky, we're definitely coming back!”

“My go to when I come to Sandusky. Before I get to mom's i order us Medium sausage and bacon pizza and a order of BBQ wings. Her favorite. And they have the best sea salt chocolate chip 🍪 cookies.”

“We enjoyed a family dinner this past November at Twisted 3. Tracy was very sweet to help me to plan my event in their Side Room. My party of 20 enjoyed a great variety of well-made delicious food choices! Our little kids enjoyed the extra space to run around with their ‘extra energy.’ What a fine restaurant this most certainly is!!!”

“Kozys Bar & Grill is a place you can go to anytime of the day for a bite to eat, a drink or both. Feel like dancing step on the dance floor and let your hair down. Food is amazing and drinks are good too. If its a special drink that's not normally made. They will look it up and make it for you. Event nights are fun, relaxing, and full of laughter. Most of all a good time. Open for parties, showers, meetings, and more. Book your next event with her. Congratulations again on your one year🎊🎉🥳”

“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.”

“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”

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!!”

“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!!”

Here's the best part, my burger was a mistake and I was given the wrong burger. Best mistake ever and I'll get it again (inferno burger). The owner stopped by and chatted for a bit and our waitress had owned her goof, even though we were completely content; we were sent off with my original ordered burger and my wife was given a duplicate to make up for it. incredible service, staff and food! We'll definitely be back.”

“Great food! Large portions at a good price. Highly recommend the Rancho Fries (fries topped with grilled steak & chicken and queso dip)…almost a meal in itself.
