“Sandusky Bay Pancake House had a 20 minute wait when our group of 9 walked in on Saturday morning.It's understandable why that is the case and we're glad we stuck around.Food and coffee was on point! My only regret is that I saw so many things on the menu that I wanted to try and could only pick one.See photo of the Perch & Eggs.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. The noise level of a busy diner drowns out the squeaks and squeals of children.“

Chicken and mashed potatoes were delicious, the wine was great, the rolls were better than Texas Roadhouse, and cookies comprable to Nestle raw cookie dough. Loved everything, would come again“

This time we had a pretty inexperienced waitress. Our meal was perfect, but we struggled to find the right wine and they didn't have the wine we wanted to have with our dinner.“

Marketplace Downtown American • $$

“Cute addition to downtown offering a trendy, artistic vibe with several small food, dessert, or boutique businesses. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and several shops inside were closed. We ordered food at Derrick Jr.'s BBQ (HIGHLY recommend...yum) and while waiting for food, checked out the children's museum downstairs which is a thoughtful, fun addition for the little ones. Several interactive busy-board style interactive children's activities were mounted in the hallway leading to the museum which were free and fun to explore. We didn't do the children's museum but it looked best for the age ranges of 5/6-11/12 although I did see a pre-walking baby (maybe 9-12 months old) sitting at a baby-friendly station while a sibling explored. When our food was ready, we walked back upstairs and enjoyed our meal in the outdoor courtyard.“

Most of all, our server, Shanta, went above and beyond to take care of our large party of 9. Our drinks were always full and her attentiveness should be acknowledged!

“Tiny hole-in-the-wall diners like this one seem to always have the best food, the best service, and the lowest prices. Their donuts are INCREDIBLE, and all made from scratch! And less than $2 per donut!! They sell out fast. We got there around 9:30AM and more than 2/3 of their donuts were already gone. My husband was impressed with their raspberry-filled glazed donut. The food includes all the diner breakfast classics. We loved their home fries, which are super fresh. The sausage patties are great, too. Excellent customer service and a very family-friendly atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!“

Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely go again!“

“Stopped by this place yesterday. Quick service. The food was pretty good overall. I personally liked the Buffalo chicken roll and thought it tasted like Buffalo chicken dip. My husbands favorite was the chicken bacon ranch. I think it is pricey for what you get - 12$ a roll (2 years ago it was only 6$ per roll). Definitely worth a try especially if you are grabbing a few drinks at the paddle bar right next door.“

“My sister and I were recently in Sandusky where we were car shopping down the street at Firelands Honda. (See my 5-star review of that car-buying experience.) While my newly purchased used car was being detailed and filled with gas, we decided to grab lunch at DeMore's Offshore Bar & Grill. For an appetizer, we both ordered a bowl of lobster bisque. Each bowl contained several nickel-sized hunks of lobster meat! Wow! Hadn't expected that. My sister also ordered a lake perch sandwich featuring a half pound of perch lightly breaded and I ordered a lake perch taco that was attractively served open-face on a soft tortilla. Both were dee-lish! Our server was friendly and efficient. There was no wait to be seated or served. (BTW, on our way out of the parking lot, we noticed a drive-through menu display with a microphone and a drive-through window. Someone was picking up an order.)“

“Excellent food. Kitchen was open until 10:45 pm so it is a great place for a late meal. Monday's are wing night. $1 per wing. Quantities of $6. I ordered the blackened swordfish sandwich & fries. It was excellent. $18 special for it on Monday's. They also have lottery and keno. A bunch of tvs including Monday night football and the baseball playoffs. Highly recommended and we will be back. Service was great also. Very friendly and fast. Food came out quick also.“

“Clean, delicious, tasty breakfast, not greasy. A new fav spot for an amazing breakfast on a leisurely morning. I had a simple and incredibly well-prepared plate of scrabled eggs, bacon and potatoes. I added a croissant which they toasted to perfection in a pan it appeared. Made myself a breakky sandwich with that - which was unmatched in the deliciousness category. Omelets and potatoes were thoroughly enjoyed by other family members. Also tried out the blueberry pancake- it was fluffy, just not super blueberry tasting- which is okay-some people may like it that way.Sign inside reads something to the effect that they do not sacrifice quality for speed, this is true. They are short on help. Only gave 3 stars for service only due to very long wait but it did not take away my enjoyment of my meal for me, as I was there to connect with family and relax. Staff was polite. My advice is to thoroughly enjoy an amazing breakfast at this classic spot WHEN and only when you can sit and enjoy your time NOT be in a hurry. Bring along a great friend or book that you want to catch up with.PS > We did NOT get cell service here on 5G phones, so don't count on that while waiting.“

“After moving to Sandusky, I was introduced to Eats & Treats after going to a few other fast-serve ice cream summer places and finding them lacking. Not so at Eats & Treats. If you are getting tired of small portions for high prices, you'll enjoy a change from that at this local favorite. For most "main menue" (not appetizers) the portions are pretty big, and I can definitely say that their "flurry" ice cream mix-ins have a LOT of goodies in them compared to some other places. Only thing I wish is they had spinach as a pizza topping, but that's a small complaint. If you're in Sandusky, make sure to check this place out - they have a great variety on their menu, and everything is tasty.“
