    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.

    The food was OK. I had the bologna sandwich and it was everything a fried bologna sandwich should…read morebe. Ordered fried pickles à la carte as there are no side dishes with entries. They were OK also. Where my visit suffered was in the customer service space. I was off put initially how the greeter man was adamant about standing outside while they wait for a cleared table. Then we got seated and it took 25 minutes for anyone to ask "have you been helped yet?" From that point on chasing down serve staff became the name of the game. Since I stopped on my way back from Hocking Hills to Toledo, I was really looking forward to this experience. Ended up being pretty disappointed. If it matters, it did appear that they serviced their local regular customers with an abundance of warmth & haste. Looked like they had a great experience.

    Yummmmmyyyyyyyyyy!!!…read more Nice little Greek diner with very nice staff and great food!!! Stopped here after a morning of thrifting at a family recommendation and was pleasantly surprised! It's decently cute on the inside, nothing oober fancy but nice like a chipotle style or similar. Staff were super nice and friendly, described the different types of fries and food is made pretty quick!!! Ordered to go but food came out on plates, not a biggie, who seemed to maybe be the owner was very apologetic and gave me an extra garlic sauce! Seems like staff work together very cohesively bc several of them started transitioning the food into to go containers. Portions are big!!! We ordered a gyro, a gyro salad and two side of fries for $33! Decent prices as well! I lovvvvve the garlic sauce, one of the best I've had. The salad had lotssss of gyro meat and lots of diff veggies which I loved!!! I loved the cold case of all the home made looking treats!! I will have to try some of these next time! They look very well made and love that they are made internally!!! Super flavorful and great healthy option!!! Would def go here again and recommend!!!
