“The best cookies and sweets! We had cake & cupcakes for our wedding rehearsal and then cookies for our wedding. Everything was delicious and matched our colors perfectly.”

“Very good burgers!
Update as of 12/16/25, The ownership has changed and so have the burgers. They are more like JTM frozen burger patties now. Not very good.”

“I just wanted to thank Tiffany and staff for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner...ohhh my goodness it was so good”

“I had not been to this location before. I am glad I read the reviews after I went. LOL I actually only got on to put how awesome the staff was and the food was spot on to what I ordered and expected. I know with as many toppings dealt with at Subway I can see how it could easily get mixed up. My order was done properly, timely, professionally along with a very kind young man that made my order just as I asked and did it with a smile! He was very kind. I will be back! Thank you!”

“I couldn't believe the good reviews for this place! We live in the area and we're told by a gentleman how good it was. He must have lacked his special senses. This was the most amateur meal we have had. Very sad as you would hope this restaurant could be (in this venue) a top notch one that would give the area a nice option. I knew we were in trouble when the appetizer came (firecracker shrimp). They obviously had taken a box of frozen shrimp (the really cheap kind with more breading than shrimp) and doused it in sweet chili sauce served over slaw?? The whole meal was very obviously taken out of a box and slathered in subpar sauces. $64 for the most amateur presentation of food I've seen at a restaurant commanding these prices! The wait staff was friendly and did their job buy this place needs someone who knows how to cook. Also bad sign we were the only ones dining in the restaurant the entire meal. I should have asked for a rebate but just learned a lesson. I NEVER rate anything online buy felt compelled so someone doesn't waste their time and money at this place. Make the drive see the forest and eat beforehand or pack a picnic lunch!”

“Two hours, and cold food. was a regular now. I'm not ordering again. I've got kids to feed. I order 3, or more times a week. to get that kind of service.”

“Our family loves Toro Loco! We make it a point to visit at least twice a month. I enjoy the fajitas jalisico (steak, chicken, shrimp) of course the kids all love the tacos beans and rice kids meal. Always a welcoming place that workers at least seem to enjoy being at which is a rare occasion nowadays. Still the best mexican restaurant in all of scioto county in my families opinion!”

“My favorite place in the entire area. Don't overlook it”

“While I have only had bakery items from Sarah’s, and haven’t had a chance to try their cafe (which I am hoping to try soon!), I can 100% say their baked goods are amazing! My personal favorite is when they bake seasonal cookies, including things like apple and pumpkin in the fall! Their homemade oatmeal cream pies are delish! And they have a pecan pie bar that is to die for!! Definitely look them up if you’re in Lucasville, Ohio!”
