I recently saw a post on Ohio Trips' Facebook page about a charming little bakery tucked away in…read moresouthern Ohio called Four Mile Bakery. As a former chef and someone who creates food videos for my YouTube channel, I'm always searching for hidden diners, cafés, and bakeries that deserve more attention. Supporting local Ohio businesses is something I'm passionate about, so I made the drive to Jackson to see what all the buzz was about. The bakery sits along a quiet country road across from a picturesque farm with goats, horses, and cows, making the drive there part of the experience. When I walked inside, I discovered it's much more than a bakery--it's also a country general store stocked with homemade jams, jellies, sauces, and other locally made goodies. But let's be honest... the real reason for my visit was the doughnuts. Instead of the typical display case, Four Mile Bakery has a doughnut buffet where you put on plastic gloves and pick out your own favorites. It's a fun concept that lets you really take your time looking over all the incredible options. While I was filming, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Shawn. He couldn't have been more welcoming. He shared the story of the bakery, how many of their recipes were developed, and the passion that goes into what they make every day. Then came the highlight of my visit--their signature Wagon Wheel doughnut. This giant glazed doughnut is unlike any I've ever had. Most oversized doughnuts tend to be heavy, bread-like, and dense. Not this one. Somehow they've mastered the art of making it unbelievably light and airy with an almost cotton-candy-like texture. It practically melts in your mouth. It's one of the best doughnuts I've ever eaten. They also offer an impressive variety of doughnuts with all kinds of toppings and flavors, so there's something for everyone. Although they serve lunch items as well, I didn't have enough time to try them on this visit. We picked up several doughnuts along with a few items from the general store, thanked Shawn for his hospitality, and headed home. Four Mile Bakery is exactly the kind of hidden gem I love discovering. Great people, incredible homemade doughnuts, and a beautiful country setting make it well worth the drive. If you're anywhere near Jackson--or even if you're not--make the trip. The Wagon Wheel alone is worth it. P.S. Unfortunately, my camera's microphone decided to quit working during my visit, so most of the footage I captured is without sound. I guess that's just a good excuse to make another trip back to Four Mile Bakery... and somehow I don't think I'll mind having to eat another Wagon Wheel!

This store/bakery is awesome. What an adorable place. You can grab so many things including…read morelunch and some of the freshest baked donuts I have ever tasted. The owner was so friendly and told us about his business and history. The donuts are absolutely huge. I also bought some sauces and jams that look great. There is a cute a candle shop next them that a local lady runs. She makes her own candles and wax melts. She was just the cutest, sweetest lady and so very friendly. I HIGHLY recomnend going to both of these locations in Jackson Ohio.

My girlfriend ordered the chocolate chip milkshake it was horrible. It has shavings of chocolate in it, and they were conformed to the bottom of the cup. Meaning they poured the hot liquid chocolate in it. It got cold and got stuck to the cup so when we opened the cup, it just had chips of chocolate chunks in it, which couldn't even fit through the straw so when you take a drink, are you getting is the vanilla shake through the straw because the chocolate can't fit? The food is low grey food. We ordered fried pickles take one bite. The pickle comes out of the breading and you just sitting there holding a piece of bread with pickle with a whole pickle in your mouth because it just came out of it and I believe I ordered a corn dog Which also was horrible. The sauce was bland. It was very soggy far as the hotdog in the bun, no flavor, so yeah, I'll give this place two stars.

While visiting my sister in Ironton I decided to take my niece for food & ice cream at The Shakery…read more When I come into town I always see a line of people and after having stopped in and ate I now know why. The Shakery is a cool "Mom & Pops" eater with a plethora of sweet treats. There is a place to stand and order outside, a drive thru, outside seating and indoor seating. You will see people of all ages. It's really nostalgic. The environment is nice & clean. Staff is friendly and I must say they did an excellent job for as busy as they were. There sweet treats vary from classic shakes to "blizzard-like" shakes, sundaes, specialty shakes, banana splits & slushies. I chose a peanut butter shake which was so creamy and full of peanut butter flavor. SO GOOD!!!!!! Perfect consistency for dipping my French fries in. Yea...I'm one of those lol. Scarlett chose a cherry slushie. You will get your sweet treats before your food. I ordered a hamburger and she got a kids grilled cheese and fries. The kids portion is a full size cheese sandwich btw. We enjoyed our time at the Shakery. The food is made to Order so don't expect drive-thru mentality. It's worth the wait I promise.

The salad never appeared. The waitress told me the vegetable of the day was peas- and corn showed up on our plate. I would have questioned or asked for a correction. But I was just cold and wanted to go back and relax. Our bill total was $75 for subpar food. Garlic potatoes were cold. They didn't even ask us how we wanted our $45 steak cooked. I would go drive to go elsewhere at a real "smokehouse" which btw- isn't even their restaurants name anymore. Service was slow with a practically empty dining room.

Terrible service!…read more This has happened several times to us and my friends/family and it's UNACCEPTABLE. My grandbabies just wanted some ice cream. we pulled into Buckeye around 8:50. (Mind you their summer hours used to be open until 10pm but that's for a different complaint lol) We stood at the window and the employees ignored us. Completely Turned their backs, kept looking at us then turned back around. Yes, they close at 9. But acknowledge your customers!!!! At least open the window and say I'm sorry but we're not taking anymore orders. Where are their manners? Shame on them!!!! You don't ignore customers like that. These new owners are ridiculous. I don't see them keeping this business much longer. And I hope whoever gets it next makes it right again like it used to be! So we left and went to The Malt shop. Much better service there! We usually don't come to Buckeye anymore with this new ownership but when my babies want ice cream, I'm getting them ice cream! Way. To. Go. If I could give this place 0 stars I would.
