    Punderson Manor Entrance
    Greg K.

    We never knew there was a Sunday brunch buffet here despite living less than 10 minutes away! So when the friendly park superintendent let us in on one of Geauga County's "Best Kept Secrets" we made a reservation and stopped in the next day. The restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel-like lodge Punderson Manor, State of Ohio-owned but privately-run by the Xanterra Group. If driving from State Rte 87 (between Auburn Road and Rte 44), you need to drive deep into Punderson State Park to find the manor. Once there parking is plentiful off to the side of the building. Be careful for pedestrian traffic as there is a pool and several cabins nearby! We were there promptly for the start of brunch at 10:00 although the place had already been open for their usual breakfast menu. We had been cautioned to make a reservation for earlier in the day as the place was expected to be crowded for Sunday brunch. At first we were curious about this pearl of wisdom as we were only the second ones seated but about 45 minutes later the larger groups started filtering in. Good advice - earlier the better. It's not a very big restaurant but the views by the window are quite nice. Beyond the outdoor seating area immediately outside our window the grassy knoll slopes into a thick bastion of trees and waters of glacial Punderson Lake - the largest natural lake in Ohio. Of course we were very happy to enjoy this view in comfortable air conditioning rather than sweat it outside. Now the food. I have to be careful here judging the restaurant solely on its Sunday bunch buffet (our only visit so far) because any buffet will suffer that slight cafeteria-like quality caused by cooking for quantity and the ravages of what chafing dishes can do to ingredients. But here goes... For about $19/person, the buffet was better than just decent but had nothing that truly crossed into spectacular or sublime. Not divinely flavorful but certainly not bland. Nothing to complain about and, all in all for a brunch buffet, we were satisfied enough to want to come back time and time again. The selection of their Sunday brunch buffet included the standard fare of scrambled eggs, bacon, and bangers (not cheap link sausage). There were biscuits & gravy, herbed potatoes, and herbal chicken. A variety of fruit salad, cold plates, and pastries were also offered. One of the two highlights of this Sunday brunch buffet is the meat carving station. The prime rib was decent - not as flavorful or tender as nearby competitors (see: Dutch Country Restaurant in Middlefield or JD's Post House in Parkman) but will do the trick on a Sunday morning. However, the omelet bar, of course being the other highlight, with the usual assortment of meats and veggies was definitely a winner. Again for Sunday brunch? Definitely - and many more to come. If we don't keep stuffing ourselves with brunch, we may even have room to try out dinner sometime! ;)

    Madricks Tavern - Omg!! Buffalo garlic Parmesan!!

    I have to say this little place has some pretty good stuff on their menu! The other thing is prices…read moreare very reasonable for everything from food to a shot and a beer. Service is always a very pleasant experience & the food is delivered in an appealing manner as well. Where else could you get a pint of Christmas ale for $2.90?! - well you can't get it here anymore this year because the last keg blew. - If you're looking to play darts, this place has four boards - Hell yea! They also have a bowling machine and a pool table. Now let me tell you about the wings and the fries. For starters the fries are fresh cut from unpeeled potatoes and are absolutely delicious while the wings are simply to die for. I got mine crispy and they were done to perfection. I chose hot as as well as buffalo Parmesan garlic. Ooooo weeee they are delicious -now go and get you some!! 5 for $5 or 10 for $10 and I'll bet you could get 15 for $15 or 20 for $20 if you wanted to .

    Why a 5 star review when we have only tried a small portion of the items on the menu ? Because what…read morewe have tried has been excellent so far & plan to eventually try everything on the menu (that's why) ! Prices are quite good & affordable. The onion rings (Huge & solid, that bite cleanly instead of pulling out all at once. Leaving a handful of hollow batter) & fried mushrooms ( pretty killer too) are addictive. The burgers (I'd easily say that it is one of the 2 best burgers in Geauga County. The other being JC's up the road just before the square in Burton. Hah.....Take that Cleats ) & the giant chili dog are spot on (moist but not greasy). Speaking of the chili, we all enjoyed a bowl by itself & plan to order it again. Also look forward to trying the French Onion Soup. Really good potato skins that I could make a meal of on there own. The Buffalo hot wings aren't greasy & better than Cleats in Chardon as well (but not as good as the Pterodactyl Wings from the old Maxx Doogan's in Chardon that broke our hearts when it closed............SIGH ). Nice atmosphere & it is quite pretty inside as well. Folks were friendly, professional & helpful too. Based on what I have seen I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to take the children here for lunch or dinner. All in all very happy to have found them & hope it stays this way !

Good vibe for a Friday night and the way it is decorated is done pretty well. Once we were seated we ordered and were served quickly. We got the shrimp appetizer to start. The breading was still good and crispy even with the sauce. Some good heat with a sweet finish. I got the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato waffle fries and my brother for the morning after burger with French fries. We both enjoyed our choices. They give good sized servings of fries and the burger and cheesesteak were a decent size. I would definitely go back!

Asked for extra crispy french fries when my meal arrived the French fries uncooked soggy lump of potatoes The server did bring out another order of fries that were extra crispy, but by this time I had no interest in the meal. Server mentioned that the workers were changing shifts he apologized once again, but did notice that I didn't even touch my meal other than one bite of a cheeseburger didn't offer to take it off the bill. I still paid full price and tipped as I should.
