Little disappointing they no longer have pizza available. Instead of updating the menu they just placed a sticker over top of the section. My daughter got mozzarella sticks. She thought they were good. They were the short fat ones. We prefer the long skinny ones. I know that may sound weird but usually if we know this ahead of time this will determine if she will order them or not. She did enjoy her kids chicken tender meal. My other daughter thought the grilled cheese was good too. Fries were beer battered which were a plus! My husband got the Chicken sandwich said it was delicious and wished it was bigger. The bun was a little disappointing. Looked and tasted like a Walmart bun. My Philly cheesesteak was decent but it tasted like Steak- Umms. My SIL enjoyed her wrap and said the onion rings were good as well.

I come to Polaris Grill every so often with my family for dinner…read more I have tried some of both the seafood items on the menu and meat. I prefer the meat as you can get it at any temperature whereas with seafood I don't think you can control how they cook that. I prefer meats to be medium well. Most restaurants with higher quality believe their customers will want medium well. You have to state to them you need it cook longer if you don't like the temperature they cooked it at. With fish I do think you have to meet a certain quality temperature to not upset the customer completely. I am picky with fish so mine has to be made well done here. The sides are good that come with the meals you typically get the mashed potatoes, vegetables or French fries options. The salad is extra here. I heard it's worth it though for their special 55 dressing. Polaris Grill is a good option if your looking for your typical medium to higher end priced American meal for lunch or dinner.

The ambiance is a bit sterile for my taste, but the food is always very good :) I remember going to to 55 with my dad when I was a kid, so there are some big nostalgia flavors in that salad. Are you even at Polaris Grill if you're not getting the 55 Salad? Service is always good, and this last visit they had a pork chop special that was an absolute banger! I also have family that swears by the short ribs and gets them every, single time.

It all tastes really good, and best of all, the price is lovely. I mean, if you need to feed a family on a budget, go here. If you are hungry or starving , go here. It is like going to your mom's place and having a good relaxing breakfast. Friendly service, helpful owners, and they don't cheap out on ingredients or anything. Worth the 3.5 hour drive from indiana to there!

"Fried Bologna, World Affairs, and One Legendary Brad"…read more Longer review but wanted to share. Traveling through central Ohio, I decided to detour for something unique--and landed at Homestead Family Restaurant in Fredericktown. I walked in around 7:30 AM and immediately spotted a table of 8-10 older gentlemen who looked like they were actively solving the world's problems. (Global warming? Inflation? Or just the eternal question of whether the Buckeyes will ever win big--hard to say.) The place oozes classic small-town America charm. I parked myself at the big U-shaped counter, and before I could even think about coffee, a hot cup appeared in front of me. Service here is fast, friendly, and so welcoming it feels like they've known you for years--even if you just rolled in off the road. The menu had those retro comfort food gems you rarely see anymore. And there it was: Fried Bologna Omelet. Pennsylvania has scrapple. Hawaii has Spam. Southern Ohio has Goetta. Central Ohio? Central Ohio proudly waves the fried bologna flag. I ordered the Bologna Omelet with fried potatoes, plus a biscuit with sausage gravy (because if you say no to sausage gravy here, you'll probably get escorted out). The food was very good. Potatoes could've used a little more time in the pan (maybe par-boiling first), but hey--still plenty tasty. For the "tribe," I grabbed: Breakfast Bowl (potatoes, eggs, American cheese, topped with sausage gravy--basically edible joy). Sausage Biscuits and Gravy (aka, double-down on gravy, because life is short). Everything hit the spot. The place is neat, the food hearty, and the service top-notch. But here's what really made the stop unforgettable: Brad. Brad is a local legend and was celebrating his birthday that morning. He sat next to me, gave me the lowdown on the town, and greeted everyone like the unofficial mayor of Fredericktown. The entire restaurant seemed to be there for him. Brad is a kind, gentle soul--the kind of person who makes you think, "You know what? This world really does need more Brads." Final Thought: Homestead Family Restaurant isn't just about good food (though the fried bologna omelet and sausage biscuit & gravy are worth the trip). It's about community, character, and the people who make small towns special. If you're in the area, stop by. Even if you're not hungry, you might meet Brad--and trust me, that's better than dessert.

Turn into their tiny town and you will find the Rusted Nail (a tavern) You will be completely surprised and impressed. I highly recommend this place and this is why: The bar uses some warm lights to create a golden glow among the bottles. Scattered among the bottles are some bobble heads which made me laugh- But the lighting works and creates a good vibe. The inside is done in dark wood and dark paint. Its cozy and classic. The bartender really likes the place (you could just tell and that a GOOD sign) and she was quite helpful with the menu. Their menu is priced reasonable. The food we had was really good. Drinks reasonable. They have live music on the weekends (primarily Sundays) Kareoke on Thursdays They smoke their own meats... thats done on Wednesday so if you are looking for wings come on Wednesday. It kind of seems like when they are gone they are gone until the next Wednesday. Lol. I looked over the menu and saw a unique item: Pickle Bacon Grilled Cheese. Thought. Huh. Weird. Had to order it to make my husband say, "really???" Which he did, btw. Well, OMGosh.... That pickle sandwich completely hit it out of the park and was a home run! I was shocked. Delicious. They season their toast a teeny bit which really added to the sandwich. I would get it again...hand to God. We plan on coming back soon. So if you're on the fence... hop off it and head over! It was good and the staff- fun! @rn_ashley_oh @roaming614

So we sat in the lobby area overlooking where he was singing which to me it was a great position we weren't in anyone's way or they were in ours. Before he sang we ate at the bar area & since it was Friday we had the A.Y.C.E fish fry with fries, the fries where their spin on Joe Joe fries that were good, the fish was the tail end of Cod according to the waitress which was fried to perfection if I believe they used a panco breading which gave it a thick hearty crunch the portions were huge & a lot of fries wish I gave tannen a picture of the food, I guess I was so hungry I polished the 2 quickly then I just ordered 1 more fish & I by then I've had my fill, I wished I remembered our waitresses name, she was great, very attentive even when we moved to outside to the lobby area when Bryan Lewis started to sing. Next time Bryan is singing here I'm going to remind my brother to R.S.V.P for us & hope they'll have the fish still if not I'll check the menu for what's the specialty of the evening...
