    French fries
    Fred S.

    The food is very good. It's an excellent atmosphere cool stuff on the wall. It's a bar drive-through altogether fast service people work there very friendly wheelchair accessible the sign outside says Park at your own risk so I don't know what that means. Gravel driveway but you can get a wheelchair in the door. The bathrooms are nice. we drove there from Akron just because we saw it on the food near me app

    Smoked pork enchiladas

    Stopped by and had a good time. Ambiance - A pole barn with lots of corrugated metal with tables. Music was good and dinner time was busy. Service - Outstanding - drinks were refilled and food was hot. Very attentive. Food - the food was good. Smoke pork Enchiladas we're cooked perfectly. They did ours chimichanga style. The only complaint I have (minor) is it lacked spice. Make sure you add some hot sauce. My Spicy Boon wings were cooked to perfection but not spicy for me. No do gs because the food.was.good. I added saice, salt, and pepper as needed. I will be back - the place was fun this night

    Portobello mushrooms

    Went in for early dinner on a Saturday. Or wasn't too crazy when we got but by the time we left basically every table was full. The inside is very casual with a few booths and basic wooden tables and chairs. Decor is casual too - definitely bar meets family restaurant vibes. The servers were busy and a little slow at the end but we're doing their best with the crowd. The food was definitely good - both the mushrooms and pretzels would be worth going back for alone, and I have pretty high standards for each. The margaritas were a hit too. Overall, a solid option if you are out in the area

    After a day at the groovy Plant Ranch, Boondocks was the perfect find! Ideal for a group hangout, everything was fresh, and the service was friendly. The buffalo chicken dip and garbage fries were standouts - don't skip them! And for balance, their salads are a great choice. Plus, the spacious atmosphere was a pleasant surprise!

    Enjoyed our brunch here! Walked in around 11:45am on Mother's Day and they were able to seat us…read moreright away at a high top in the bar area (no reservation). Our waiter was super friendly and quick! He brought out water and took our drink orders. I had the Patron Saint and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. The rest of my party had a tequila sunrise, aperol spritz, and the coffee stout and all were great We had brunch and all of the dishes were so good. I enjoyed the French omelette and the dressing on the side salad was probably my favorite part! My mom loved the smash burger and the waffle fries were amazing and crunchy. My dad enjoyed the country fried steak with egg and also liked the fries. My brother ordered the best out of all of us! The shakshouka was to die for! Definitely give that a try if you have a chance. We finished up with the beignets which were okay but needed more powdered sugar. We also tried the whiskey bread pudding and it was pretty phenomenal! Overall great experience here and my family and I look forward to going back for dinner!

    If Yelp had a "6 stars" option, I'd be clicking it until my phone battery died. My friend and I had…read morethe pleasure of dining here, and from the moment we walked in, the vibe was spot-on: super cool atmosphere, somewhere between "hip date night" and "I could happily live here." Our server, Tony, deserves his own fan club. He was the perfect combination of kind, attentive, and genuinely funny--the type of person who could probably convince you to order a shoe if it came with the chef's balsamic reduction. Speaking of which, I had the filet medallions with said reduction, and let me just say: if I could marry a sauce, this would be "the one." My friend ordered the scallops with risotto, and she ate every last grain of rice like she was guarding treasure. Special shoutout to Matt, the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate my many food allergies without making me feel like "that" customer. Instead, he treated it like a fun culinary puzzle to solve. Food? Phenomenal! Service? Flawless! Atmosphere? Just the right mix of cool and comfortable. Regrets? Only that I didn't take a picture... but that just means I have to go back.

    G & R Tavern - Infamous Fried Bologna Sandwich

    Home of the Famous Bologna Sandwich…read more That's the bold claim G & R Tavern has been making in Waldo, Ohio for more than 60 years, and judging by the line waiting outside when we arrived shortly after noon, plenty of people believe it. Located in a village of about 300 residents, G & R Tavern has become one of Ohio's most popular destination restaurants. Visitors come from all over the state to try the sandwich that put this small-town tavern on the map. Founded in 1962 by George Yake and Roy Klingel, G & R Tavern has become a true Ohio institution. In 1985, Rick's family purchased the restaurant and has continued the tradition ever since. During our visit, I had the opportunity to speak with Rick and learn that the next generation is already preparing to carry on the family tradition. In a time when many independent restaurants struggle to survive from one generation to the next, that's something worth celebrating. The atmosphere is exactly what longtime fans have come to love. Wood-paneled walls, a bustling dining room, homemade pies in the dessert case, and an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare today. Even the cash-only policy somehow feels right at home here. As for the famous sandwich, it continues to live up to its reputation. This Ohio classic features a thick-cut slice of fried bologna topped with melted American cheese, sweet pickles, and onion on a soft bun. It's simple, flavorful, and easy to understand why people continue making the trip to Waldo year after year. Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my wife, who ordered the fried bologna sandwich as well. That's not something she would normally choose, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. The fries were hot and crispy and made a great companion to the meal. Some places become popular for a season. Places like G & R Tavern become part of Ohio's history.

Not everyone's thing but it's definitely MY thing. Staff is friendly and moves quickly if you can find a seat. This place fills up. Truely an American treasure.
