Loved the nostalgic food. Friendly service and good prices. Convenient to the lake.
We went to Big Ed’s Soda Grill in Vermilion Ohio and this place is like stepping back in time. From the retro vibe to the old fashioned sodas and shakes, everything felt classic in the best way possible.
We tried the Hot Dog with extra onions and it definitely delivered. Then we asked the server what burger we HAD to try, and she pointed us straight to the Peanut Butter & Pickle Burger. Joe was too scared to try it, but honestly… it worked way better than expected....read full review
