50 Best American Restaurants near Sylvania

“The peppermint ice cream pie with oreo crust was delicious!! Always a crowd favorite! Fast and friendly service“

“I always feel welcomed at the Sodbuster and it’s always a great time. Bobby May’s Sunday jam from 6-9 is fun and you never know who will stop by. I love it! ❤️“

“Stopped in for lunch and sat at the outside bar. It is a nice setup, but the chairs are a bit uncomfortable for me, but were fine for my friend. I tried the Cameo pizza (pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion, and mushroom) and it was outstanding. All of the veggies were very fresh. My Friend had their stuffed shells and enjoyed it. It is served with a breadstick as well. Give the Village in a shot and you can't go wrong with a Cameo pizza (originated in Sandusky, oh).“

“The Sylvania Diner omelette was amazing! Packed full of everything as described in the menu. Our waitress knows my mom (lucky woman) as a repeat customer and was very attentive to our needs! We will return to Sylvania to see mom and eat here again and again!“

“Have visited the Seafood since the late 50’s!! It is the best ever! Good service, good food,just a restaurant that never fails to deliver! Introduced our adult children,our visit last Saturday, 2 ordered Perch dinner, one ordered Ahi Tuna!!!PERFECT“

“Did you know that Myway Bistro caters? They did assorted sandwiches and wraps, chips, mac & cheese, chicken chunks, veggies, pita and hummus. Our guests loved the food. Myway Bistro raised our party up a notch! easy to work with, budget-friendly, and delicious food.“

“Wish I could do 3.5. Food was fine, but don’t expect anything for free as just good service. Was charged $4 for extra veggies for our wings. Seems a bit insane of an up charge, especially if you don’t warn people. Other than that, great.“

“Great place to eat and unwind whether it be for business or a place to meet up with friends or family.
I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years and the food is always as good as the 1st meal I have had from this establishment.“

“Excellent! From the food to the service. The prices are reasonable and the music and atmosphere made all of this together a total hit. In an unassuming strip mall, we also drove right by! We will definitely be back!“

“I love this little place. Good food for a good price.“

“I’ve come here several times and I absolutely love the atmosphere and the energy that is here! I’ve had the absolute privilege of having wonderful servers and bartenders such as Brittany, Sierra, and Alyssa and they have been extremely warm and welcoming. I will definitely come back when I can!“

“A great American Diner experience. The setting is comfortable and service attentive as well as friendly. Solid breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, and dinner choices. I had the meatloaf, good portions, and paid an extra buck for the French Onion Soup topped with toasty cheese. A steak house couldn't do much better. Check the hours when you plan to go, they're variable depending on the day.“

“I've been scouring NW Ohio for the best meatloaf and I have finally found it!! The meatloaf is buttery tender, juicy, full of flavor, the crispy onions on the top really complimented the flavor. Mashed was perfect. The bread pudding... oh my garsh... the BEST ever!! (This was a to go order)
If you are looking for a comfort meal elevated to perfection, The Meatloaf with Bread pudding as dessert is perfection.
I only took a photo of the bread pudding because I could not stop devouring the meatloaf long enough to capture.“

“I love Chitter Chatter! Great BBQ sandwich. My hubby loves the chili dogs. And OMG the cherry slushy freeze with ice cream blended is soooo good 🤤🤤🤤 and the lemon lime one...and the Carmel apple crunch and the peanut butter shakes..mmmm I recommend!“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch. Top-notch service (Lynn Humphrey), food was great—one of our favorite places.“

“Best food and service ever.“

“Always solid. Attentive and friendly staff. My go-to diner.“

“Love this place! Giving less stars because unfortunately I placed a pickup order last week and instead of fulfilling it after being shown the information they stated they'd refund it as their online system was down. Then proceeded to make my husband pay for the order again to get it fulfilled. They never refunded it and the order got posted to my card so now I'm having to dispute the transaction.“

“If you haven’t been to Fairways you have been missing out! The food is excellent and the menu is very diverse. The daily specials are always on point. The real treat at Fairways is the staff. It is a joy to interact with Jeff the owner. He is an “on hands” owner earning the respect of his amazing staff and his customers! You can be guaranteed to have a great experience!“

“I have gotten them three times twice it was really good good amount third time seeing lazy it was done like crap but I guess nobody's perfect you know every time I just go there about once a month it isn't that bad at all people are decent.“

“We've been here over 30 times , party of 8 , got seated quickly . Server was on point ( Olivia ) Food was fair , but it was extremely busy . Management was more than gracious with two of the meals . Nice experience !“

“Great food and great service“

“We went there for the first time yesterday and did not realize they were very close to closing. We were treated to a great experience with wonderful service and hot, fresh food. Burgers were juicy and the fries hot and crisp! Hopefully next time I will have room for pie. What they did not know was that it was our 15th wedding anniversary, so thank you for a great memory!“

“Good first time visit. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was really nice inside and had more of a restaurant vibe instead of a Bar so that was really nice. French Dip had a really good flavor and the BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger was cooked perfectly and was still juicy even though i said well done. The bun on the bugets and french dip held together nicely. Ribs where really flavorful and tender pulled the rib meet off with a fork. Pretzel bites and the deep fried cheese chunks where surprisingly good as where the nachos. Only complaint is the chicken we got was very dry and salad had only lettuce in it but besides it was a really nice first visit. Almost forgot get the homemade chips over the fries they are really tasty.“

“I had a massive sausage & cheddar omelette with perfectly crisped hash browns. Delicious!“

“Stopped in on our way to a water park and had breakfast. It is our granddaughters birthday celebration and the staff was very friendly super nice. They even played a birthday 🎂 song for her without being asked. Food was great along with everything else, cant say enough about how nice they are. Definitely will be back when in the area.“

“Always have good food and KJ is the best waiter.“

“We visited on a Monday in mid-April 2025 for lunch.

This was a typical zoo restaurant. It's a grab and go. There are prepared foods on the side, both hot and cold. There are customizable stuff behind the counter and made to order. Expect it to be overpriced.

The loaded mac and cheese wasn't bad. The young lady behind the counter was making it for us when an older man (who I assume to be a manager) walked by and told her she was putting TOO much toppings in the mac and cheese so she stopped mid scoop with the bacon.

We got chicken tenders and fries which were both fine. We also got the prepared cobb salad. The lettuce on top looked fine but once we opened it and dug deeper, the lettuce were the harder and thicker stalks and more discolored. We still ate it because we were hungry but it did not look super fresh or maybe the salad sat too long in the back before packing it.

We also got the chocolate pudding and the jello. We all agreed the gummy worms in the chocolate pudding had a weird taste and off putting. The texture was also strange and unfortunately a lot of the flavor had leached into the pudding. The jello however was fine and those gummies were normal.

Condiments you grab on your own, self serve.

Cashier was nice and asked if we had membership, which we did and gave us the additional discount. It's nice when they ask because I forget sometimes with all the craziness going on.

The restaurant it self wasn't packed but there were 4 or 5 other groups in there with us. The place also was very clean and new looking. Not sure when this placed opened or renovated but it was very clean and modern. There are no tables to eat inside so we went outside to find a seat. There were no tables in the Kid's play place or neighborhood area so we walked around to where the hippo statues were to eat.

Even though the zoo website says no outside food, we were never searched and I swear almost EVERYONE we saw at the picnic tables had brought food in. Maybe it was locals who knew vs tourist. You can always leave and eat food in your car but it's just so inconvenient.“

“I had them drain the meat before putting it on the chili mac and it has greatly improved the taste. Before that I would spend a ton of time on the toilet. The same goes for their chili dogs. The buns are not soggy anymore. I have no idea why this just isn't a thing but I feel like a lot of your other customers would benefit if you would do this automatically.“

“Our first time dining over at Brenda’s and overall the experience was 10/10 Jessica our waitress was very polite and checked up on us several times. Food came out in under 15 minutes and was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were phenomenal! Very homey type of restaurant, definitely will be coming back!💗 (I got the farmers omelette and my boyfriend got the farmers skillet)“

“This place is fantastic! The ambiance is great, location is contemporary and service is amazing! Visited this location twice and they did not disappoint! The food is delicious (try The Jammer burger) and the drinks are sooo good. We did finish our dinners both visits with the cheesecake! Hands down some of the best I have ever had. We will be back!“

“awesome bartenders especially Carissa!!! The pizza is over the top.“

“nice place good.food and delicious and friendly staff my first time there and I will be back“

“I must say that I love our Big Boy sandwiches at the Maureen, ohio location. In Ohio, we have tartar sauce on our Big boys and they are so good! If you go to a Big boy in Michigan be warned, it won't be the same, because they don't use tartar sauce and it's not even close to as good as our Big boy. I'd eat Big boy burgers every day if I could!“

“This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants! Their Lemon-Blueberry cornbread is simply AmAzing as well! I do have to say, too, I've never had Carrot Pancakes or a coffee called a Mint Mocha until we came here, BUT their both pretty tasty!“

“Being from the south we came and expected to be unimpressed but the food is phenomenal!! Definitely try the Mac & cheese top notch!!! We had the ribs, the brisket, chicken and pulled pork and nothing disappointed us. The coleslaw was creamy full of flavor and like most southern favs.“

“Love the food here. Laura and her crew at the central Ave store are amazing !!!“

“I went on a Wednesday, they had music trivia, Name That Tune going. It was so much fun! The food was great! I had the Paddy Pattie and fries. The sandwich was grilled nicely, the burger patty was perfectly medium, and the fries were well seasoned and cooked just right. I will definitely be back!“

“Had breakfast there. It was delicious. Waitresses were very nice too. I will go back.“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere.“

“Good people, good food! Need a better selection on the jukebox... Sal is awesome!😉“

“Excellent food and great drinks! Taylor was our server. She was very friendly & attentive. Highly recommend!“

“Great service, kind server and a menu with about 13 offerings. Coffee was always refilled and hot. $5.00 breakfast!!!“

“I just had them for the first time and it was incredible! Even the mashed potatoes were good, which, in my opinion, can't be said about ordinary takeout. This chicken tastes just like the kind I used to get at a place that closed called, "Woody's Just Chicken." I remember trying to order one day after work only to find that they closed permanently and I was really sad. Anyways, whether or not these are the same people, the food here is incredible. Thank you!“

“This was my husband and my sister first time there the food was very good and our waitress was a sweetheart we all laughed and joke around her. I definitely recommend this restaurant and if you get to full & can't eat dessert make sure you take some home my baklava was so delicious 😋 we will definitely be coming back!!! Thanks Charles for awesome dinner and dessert“

“looking for a last minute place to eat, came across here, we stopped in and tried it. it was excellent. huge portions delicious breakfast. saved the day!“

“First time trying BM Chen's and I can easily say it is the best chinese we have tried in Toledo. When they say authentic, they mean it. It is entirely a different experience than the typical fried chinese food. You can tell the food is cooked fresh and is indeed different from the Americanized versions of usual dishes. Will definitely be back again. If you like chinese food, 100% stop and give them a try.“

“Great burgers. My go to place. Perfect everytime.“

“Kylie is the best server at airport location just saying 🥰“

“It’s a great place to watch college football games“
