“Great place great food and folks“

“My wife and I ate here... food was delicious. Place had a nice character and all wood decor. Drinks list good and swift service. We started with their bruschetta, four piece... very nice... and not just toast with olive oil and chopped tomatoes... try it. My better half had their Battered fish and chips... looked good and we'll presented. She didn't offer me a mouthful to try... so that speaks volumes. I opted for the Chicken Marsala... very well cooked... tender and we'll plated... sauce was tasty and plenty of it. Good sized portions and roughly $55 per each of us... that included a bottle of wine a beer and a whisky... a double shot. I'd go back... and if you haven't been, then go.“

“We had a birthday party here with about 30 people. Kim was so helpful and kind with the planning process. On the actually night, all our guests had delicious meals with fast service. Our waitresses were efficient and friendly the whole time. All the food is amazing. I've never had a bad meal here. This has become one of my favorite places to eat downtown. Go visit them, you won't be sorry! Fantastic food!“

“First time there today it was great!! Recommend chicken and waffles and getting a milkshake!!! 10/10“

“LOVE THIS PLACE, WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO GO THERE EVERY YEAR“

“Good food, great atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, and reasonable on the wallet!“

“Eclectic decor in a super cool old building that was the first building in Downtown Toledo to be wired for electricity! Wow we sent our compliments to the chef, everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. They have won awards for their original cocktails and the bartender did not disappoint. Excellent waitress who deserved every penny of her tip. We will be back!“

“I think that this is the best diner in my area. The menu options are forever ongoing they have so much ! There are a few other diners and they’re good !Everything at American table is very flavorful fresh and fast coming out. Great Service friendly very helpful and affordable. I love American table in Oregon, Ohio.“

“Sooooo good! Had the squash soup, broccoli cheese quiche, and the smoked beef poutine. Highly recommend this top notch food for the casual diner. There is a reason they are in the top 5 picks for Toledo.❤️“

“Excellent food and service. Peyton is a wonderful server polite and friendly.“

“Chef Erika Rapp never disappoints and every visit to this wonderful restaurant reaffirms it as my favorite place for our Anniversary dinner. I look forward to the coconut, chorizo and sweet potato steamed muscles that she has had on the fall menu consistently for the last 5 years. And being Gluten Free the care Chef Erika takes to offer many delicious options, means I can always find the perfect meal. Last night the fish dish was perfection, from the perfectly cooked cod, to the savory and slightly sweet delicata squash puree to the textural elements of the crisp broccolini and the crunch of the pomagranate and pepitas. And the dish paired wonderfully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. After enjoying a basket of gluten free pop-overs (another favorite treat) and appetizers I was stuffed, but the dish was too delicious to leave even one bite on the plate. Our server Miranda was fabulous. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and added so much to our dining experience. I highly reccommend.“

“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!“

“Nothing fancy. Fun music. Simple decor. Comfy seats. They send people to wipe the tables often.

Food is Yummy. The custard is good!!! Check the freezer in the lobby for pints of previous flavors of the day.

Cooked when you order so everything is fresh. Still quite fast. Workers are kind and polite.“

“Jefferson Express is a great place to eat breakfast it’s located in Toledo, Ohio. The food is very good, the service is great and the atmosphere is nice and friendly. My hat off to the cook. The owner’s and waitress are very friendly and welcoming. If you are ever in town. I do recommend to try it out, please don’t let the outside of the place stop you from going inside to get a great meal. Once you are on the inside you will forget about the outside because the food is delicious and you don’t want to miss out on a great meal.“

“EVERYTHING!!!! GREAT FOOD& AWESOME STAFF“

“We had a party of 16 today for our holiday lunch and everything was excellent! Everyone ate all of their food. The atmosphere was nice. The table was set up so we could easily converse with each other, and that can be difficult with a large party. I have always enjoyed the garbage salad and it did not disappoint. Will continue to be a customer!“

“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.“

“Great Day to Eat Outside at Rayz Genoa!!“

“Great lunch menu. Awesome prices for the amount of food. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. We will be back.“

“Hands down, my favorite restaurant ever. You just can't go wrong with a Big Boy, with tarter sauce on it, and a side of crispy fries. I have ordered the same thing every time since I was a kid. If I see a Big Boy while out doing things, I make it a point to stop in for a bite. They never disappoint. The service is always fast and friendly, and the prices are right!

Kid-friendliness: Great selections on their kids menu“

“Great food and great service“

“Went here tonight to celebrate my birthday. It's over an hour away from home but definitely worth the drive ! Food was fantastic! Bought some sausage to take home ,it was that good!“

“Their personal chicken bacon ranch pizza is probably the best chicken bacon ranch pizza I've tasted in years that is what I am having today you normally I get one of their amazing baskets the customer service is beyond words definitely keeps me a regular customer but this pizza is a must buy“

“Amazing pizza! There is not one pizza on the menu that I don't want to try“

“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.“

“Just left Big Boy on Woodville Ave and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Been coming here since I was a little kid, and over the years it’s been a staple around here. The food was perfect, Melissa our server was prompt and Lisa the exec was super nice and friendly.“

“Service and meal were excellent. Seated at a small table against the window with curtains encroaching my space. Candle was nice but flower loop around it made the small table more cluttered. It would be best to pull the table away from the curtain and minimize any additional decorations to allow more comfortable space...slightly larger tables or pull them away from the wall would also provide less cramped experience“

“Butter burgers! Great fries!“

“While hiking the Buckeye trail this was a perfect place to stop. Not only was this was one of the coolest diners I have ever seen. There was tons of different pop culture references throughout the entire diner. They have pies, ice cream, burgers, and more!“

“Great service..very nice ! Large portion on beef gyro. Greek fries 10/10 with lots of flavor. The small Greek Salad ( added chicken) very filling ! Recommend this place !! The hummus was very flavorful !“

“Food and service AMAZING! Onion rings were the best I’d ever had. We got cheeseburgers and chicken bombs, both were soo good! We will be back!“

“great food, great prices, great service“

“Absolutely love to eat at this place! Their food is so fresh and the service is amazing. We had Olivia as our waitress and she did an outstanding job and is so cheerful and had a smile on her face the entire time. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.“

“Longtime customer and never disappointed. Mancys has steaks that melt in your mouth. It is a classic dining experience with good food and excellent service. Although I live in Cleveland, I make a point to stop anytime I pass near Toledo -- it's that good“

“This is "my" place to go! Everyone that works there are more than great! The food phenomenal! Try them!“

“My first time at Yum Yummy and was greeted with such kindness by the owners. The food was delicious and plentiful. Had the sesame chicken and the kung pao chicken along with egg rolls. It was awesome!“

“It’s my go to soul food spot the food is always hot and delicious. 🤤“

“Madison is amazing! 100% recommend her as your server !“

“Went there on 5/21/26 around 10:15 and had the best service. The breakfast sandwich and crab salad are the best!!! Everything’s fresh!!! Both the guy and the girl were very helpful and kind. They both were amazing! I wish I knew their names. Forgot to ask! The Reuben’s there are also my favorite. I dine there many times. This place is worth every penny and beyond!“

“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.“

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

“Our first time to Final Cut. We were greeted at the door by the hostess. Seated but we moved because we preferred the booths. Very comfy and cozy. Food was fabulous lobster tails filet with baked potato Brussel sprouts lobster bisque rolls/butter and comp appetizer and dessert for our 40th Anniversary. A bit pricey but service was awesome 5 ⭐️ and food was 5 ⭐️ We would return.“

“This is a great place to have an event. Good atmosphere, very clean, good food.“

“love their bbq and roast beef like grandma made omelets great and joanns so nice and young man also who wait on you“

“Our waitress (1st shift)Sarah and Kikki was great, our other waitress (2nd shift) we wasn't impressed. Breakfast items was good, dinner items wasn't very good. But we had to sit for 3 days not much of a choice. Oh and the raspberry cheesecake is a must try.“

“Awesome place to go and relax! I ordered the kids meal( Because it has the best value by far and you get free ice cream!), and it was phenomenal to say the least. The service was top notch all of the waitresses and waiters were very helpful. Can't wait to go back and eat there again!“

“A sweet waitress went way above and beyond her duty, My husband, I and our two friends went in to Waters Edge Restaurant, my husband and our friends ordered, I ask if they had milk shakes because I told her I’m having problems swallowing food down, the food won’t go down. She said so sorry we don’t have milk shakes so I just ordered a root beer to drink while everyone ate (it’s ok though) our sweet waitress whipped up milk with ice whip cream and made me a milk shake with whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top. Brought me a big cup. I said oh wow! I love you thank you!! She said it complementary. She made my day how thoughtful and sweet of her to care so much about another person’s problems and health issues. The food looked delicious my husband and our two friends said it was. Thank you! I wish I would have got her name.“

“Moes has been a regular hangout for my family for years. The food and atmosphere are amazing and the prices are budget friendly! During hockey season every time we go to a game we head to Moes first - anytime I mention Moes to my kids (they’re adults now) we all agree let’s go!“

“My wife and I stopped in today and the burgers were amazing! we looked at each other and couldn't believe we havent had a burger this good before. Top notch service also!!! They have it figured out!“

“Food is almost always on point! Service is great! Personally I wish it was not so loud. The music is so loud that you aren’t able to hold a conversation with the family/friends you are sitting with. For the most part, that’s the only bad thing I can say. I wish they would turn down the music!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️“
