We were in Dallas several weeks ago and this place matches it! We shared Bama wings. I don't know what sauce is on that but it's scrumptious. Wings fell off the bone!! We inhaled them.

This was one of the first bars I ever drank at and I loved it the last time we went as much as I did the first time. It's the nostalgia for me!

Loads of regulars and that speaks to the staff!

Irish car bomb not my style but when in Rome. Younger crowd but everyone just seemed to be so happy there. Music was a mix of country rock n hip hop. Think there was a jukebox? I got caught in a conversation with some friendly person. Anyhow, looks like a fun spot for drinks. Beer is all can and bottle and decent selection. Prices for craft beer $5-6. I left after one because what is it with this city and no masks?

The chips were the least pleasing thing. We ate right in the main bar area with TVs everywhere. Fun environment. Waitresses were kind and human. Food came out very fast. Service and prices were solid. The men's bathroom is pretty "old world." If you're actually using the stall (which is not deep enough to comfortably sit in), you cannot close the door (there's no latch). The bathroom also didn't smell clean. My wife said that the female restrooms were well-maintained, haha, so it's a guy gap (and I barely care).

It was a lot smaller inside than we expected but it was nice. We were seated quickly but it took a bit for our server to come. We finally ordered ( nothing crazy - we all got sandwiches). Then it felt like our server just disappeared. One of the other servers heard us talking while she was servicing her table and told us that they had some event going on outside so food was taking longer to come out. No update from our own server. I had to ask ther other server for another drink. It was kind of irritating to see tables that came in after us getting their food before us. Now onto the food - it was pretty good. We all enjoyed our sandwiches. I got a reuben with fries. The rye bread on my reuben was nice - crispy crust yet soft. Very good ratio of meat to saukraut. The fries were eh. Very limp with no crispy at all. I've honestly gotten better fries off a food truck. They look crispy in the photo but they were not. So overall- drink was good, sandwich was delicious but fries were not and service was not good at all.

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.
