“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..“

“Double date night with family from out of town and we all absolutely loved everything. 5 different entrees and my addiction potatoes we shared it all and zero complaints. drinks were great too! love the atmosphere!“

“1st timer here. Everything we ate/drank was stellar. BUT, you can't have me wait 15 min for 1 draft beer as my meal arrives. The service was brutally lazy, and for a Sat night? It also took about 15 min for 1 dessert. Never an apology either - server far from professional. Yikes!“

“We showed up with 30 people (softball team + parents) and they did an amazing job accommodating all of us They were fast, friendly and food was amazing!“

“Great food nice list of beers and the bartenders always are friendly and very helpful with drink ideas“

“My family and I frequently come here. We have never had a bad experience in all the years we have been coming in. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious. Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner they never disappoint! And the desserts are simply amazing! I recommend this place to everyone that asks for a family style atmosphere. Well worth every single dollar! Absolutely wonderful!“

“Grew up in good ole Elyria but moved away several years ago. Drove all the way back because I missed this joint and ordered the Chicken Melt just as is and goodness it was immaculate. So glad they havent changed a thing and even the prices are still good <3“

“Great atmosphere and a perfect party room for private events!“

“A fav spot for a relaxing wonderful dining experience. I really enjoy sitting in the little dining area off to the right by the small bar area. The festive lights outside of the windows and decor throughout restaurant for holiday season provide a wonderful setting for a relaxing meal. Always experience great service here. The salmon was my go to but it is not available currently. Many other great menu options to try. Today I had a seasonal offering, the Cranberry Apple Salad, and an old fave, Brussels sprouts. Highly recommend a visit- makes any occasion a special one. Patio is great in summer too. Have enjoyed the perch and strawberry cheesecake here too.“

“We have ordered on DoorDash many times but finally made it in to eat in person. I am ALWAYS satisfied with the food. You guys have ruined salads for me because nothing comes close to the blackened chicken salad anywhere else lol the brisket nachos are top notch and I love the French onion dip with the chips. The inside is what you’d expect from a locally owned bar…it’s homey and feels like the kind of place that has a lot of regulars. Definitely one of our go to meals!“

“My husband and I were on vacation the second week of October. We decided to try a new restaurant our last night in town. The Cabin Club was just up the street from our hotel. We really enjoyed the ambiance once inside. Our server Jennifer was awesome. She made us feel welcome and had an answer for all our questions. She even gave us a history on the Cabin. The food was delicious. I ordered the cider glazed pork chop with cinnamon apples and green beans. Try this restaurant. We will definitely be back when we are in town again. Thank you Jennifer ?“

“A delightful place, in a very cozy setting of a historic home. Our server was enthusiastically pleasant. As we were reviewing the menu a woman from the next table proclaimed that the scallops are a must have, she is a regular there. We had the lobster bisque. Great taste and generous chunks of lobster. The viscosity was curiously low for such a soup but was still very good. The temperature it was served at was also perfect. The scallops were very tasty and very consistent through the bite. The texture did not change in the center. The risotto was just right. The sea bass was a nice thick portion, also prepared so well. One very remarkable thing about our experience was not just that everything tasted great, but every last item was served at the perfect temperature. That really stood out as amazing. We will be back!“

“Might just be one of the best burgers from a fast food joint that I have ever eaten. The Pretzel Bits were almost as good as the burger. I could eat those all day long. Service was very good and the tables were clean.
I highly recommend Culver's for my overall positive experience and a sublime burger! Will definitely be back.
5 Stars.“

“First time there, would definitely go back. Food and service was great.“

“Great place to meet friends“

“Party room was everything I hoped for. We brought our own food and drinks you! I believe it was 150 to rent the room for the four hours. We had option of a bar tender. Also very kid friendly!“

“Love everything about this place.“

“We just wanted to give the Dawg House a HUGE shoutout and recommendation as the BEST sports bar and live music venue in all of Lorain County!! Not only do we play there periodically, our members frequent the Dawg House for their outstanding service, food and drink menu, and tremendous selection of live music acts on our nights off of gigging. Eric (owner) is the best bar owner we know, and he makes everyone feel welcomed and special when they visit. His staff is top notch, friendly and extremely attentive. If you want an outstanding experience watching sports, live music, playing trivia, or just enjoying their amazing food, you’ve found your place!!! 5 stars for sure!“

“The food was good. Limited menu. But I was disappointed in my Lobster Flat Bread. The pic and what I got were nowhere close. I barely had any lobster, most pieces of flat bread didn’t have any lobster at all. The Calamari was tender and well-seasoned but not crispy. The breading seemed as if it had been sitting for a while. The drinks were good but pricey. The service was poor. Except the Sous chef, she was excellent. But the others were a bunch of young kids who all seemed to be brand new, unorganized, and not what i would expect in a place so expensive. The marinated Ahi Tuna was excellent. All of that being said, we enjoyed our time there, but $156 later, I doubt we will go back.“

“1st time visiting and the food was awesome as well as the service. Highly recommend!!!“

“food and service are top notch, great selection of beer and other adult beverages.“

“Susie was our server today. She was excellent! She was so kind and continuously checked on us to make sure we were doing good. My husband moved here recently and said this was the best food he’s had. We will be returning and asking for Susie if she’s available.“

“Almost perfect every time!
Wonderful food and WARM CRUSTY BREAD.
Usually, we have to ask for cocktail napkins...lol...first world problems... otherwise, we love going there.
Veal Fratello and Shrimp Fratello are our favorites.
Also... the Calamari.“

“Love this place! Great Breakfasts. If you go away hungry, it's your own fault.“

“I stopped in here early on a Saturday morning before going to a local car dealership to purchase a truck. There weren't many customers in the restaurant yet, so I was seated right away. I ordered the two eggs breakfast with three slices of bacon, home fries and two slices of toast (you have a choice of bread). The food was great, as if it was cooked at home. Service was fast and my waitress topped off my coffee twice before I left. If you're looking for a place to get a nice homestyle breakfast, this is it.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. This place is hard to beat. Family dining atmosphere but the food is really great! Awesome menu with things you won't find anywhere else. Attached ice cream parlor is also a big hit with the kids!“

“Enjoyed our meals Sunday. First time diners. Nice unique atmosphere, seated in stall #3. So much variety on the menu and with the specials. My chicken ranch wrap and chicken and rice soup were exceptional. If we are in the area again we'll stop by!“

“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.“

“My husband has lived in Lorain for 25 years and has never had Pine Garden, today we rectified that. We ordered some of our usual favorites from others and it was love at first bite with their General Chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried dumplings, fried rice, wanton soup, boneless ribs, and teriyaki chicken. We will be returning customers per my husband. My man loves to eat and I don’t deny that we will be ordering again! Thanks for great food and service!“

“Having some good eats with the family last night. We love that they have exclusive Mountain Dew Dark Berry Bash flavor that one can only get when eating at Applebee’s. For quite some time those Wonton Tacos have been a favorite of mine. Most everyone else opts for a burger & fries to order when we stop by. I do love the mini bite of brownie & ice cream for only $1.99. Perfect when you want a small portion of dessert.

Vegetarian options: They have several options for the vegan in the family.

“Thanks to Dave we had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we sat down, they greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel truly welcome. Their attentiveness throughout our meal was exceptional—always checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. They made great recommendations and really went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. It’s because of this stellar service that we decided to return today, and we’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for making our experience memorable!“
