“We booked TJ's to cater for our wedding and we were absolutely blown away! Their customer service is beyond stellar and their service was outstanding. We had our guests choose between the Lemon Basil Chicken and Manicotti and multiple guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Rachel went above and beyond to help make sure our day went smoothly and that my husband and I were taken care of at all times! Their staff was so kind. Everything about our experience with TJ's was so awesome and I would recommend them to every couple looking for a wedding caterer!“

“Rittman historian Patt Watts says the city is named for Fred Rittman, former treasurer of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which built a line through town in 1871. Previous name ‘Arkona’ had to be changed because it was too easily confused with Akron.

The Erie Depot opened 1871 on South Main Street, but farmers moved the narrow wooden building to its current location in 1913. Conrail took over Erie in 1976 and discontinued its Rittman service in 1983.

Debra Lieberth has owned The Depot for 20 years. Located across the tracks from Morton Salt facility, which means customers never have to worry about running out of seasoning.

“We love this place. It’s a “sister”
Restaurant to “the Barn”
In Smithville, with very similar fixings on the salad bar. Wonderful milkshakes (they bring all the boys to the yard). Just good food!! Great service. It’s an older crowd that usually domes here, but we don’t care!!“

“I just wanted to say everytime I come in (which is once a week) I am warmly greeted, helped in a timely manner and treated like family. Kennedy the manager has always been so helpful along with the rest of the staff. I appreciate this kind of service!“

“I have dined here a handful of times over the years and can honestly say that I have never had a bad experience. The atmosphere is very unique while being authentic and enjoyable. The service there is one of the main reasons I continue to go there.“

“The team from Old Carolina Barbecue Company were at our venue again last night and as usual provided stellar service. This was the second time this summer. In June catering was provided by Joseph, Gavin, Chase and Abby, and last night we had Tanner, Shannon, Chase and Abby. Both times they were timely, efficient and professional, and also added extra services like moving things around to serve appetizers outside, cutting and serving multiple cakes and leaving the kitchen spotless! All these things from a venue's perspective are so important. From the guests' perspective, of course, is the question "was the food good?" Yes it was! So good! They received many compliments. Great job guys! Thanks again!“
