The person whobhad the gilles cheese added bacon. They said the bacon was perfectly crisp, not floppy, not burnt. The Hot Dog was a Costco style 1/4lb dog, nuff said. The burgers came out on a soft hamburger bun, topped with a generous portion of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The patty was a well seasoned 70/30 patty that hit all the notes. Just right, not overly seasoned with GSP or fillers. Salt pepper Beef that's all. Finally, the star... the hand cut fries! This was a bonus for us as we didn't know thet had them.

I had the walleye dinner with baked potato and coleslaw. It was fantastic. Fresh walleye given in a generous portion. This has the feel of places I grew up with in southern Ohio in the 70s and 80s. The prices were amazing. My dinner was under $13 bucks which is half what you would pay in Columbus. The breakfast items looked huge and delicious so we will definitely be back to try those. Overall nostalgic small town restaurant vibes. Definitely check it out if you are in the Buckeye lake area.

I showed up by my lonesome, not knowing anything about Island House or Buckeye Lake or anything, and I was greeted warmly and shown to the popcorn maker. The popcorn maker is there by the bar and is available (with buttered popcorn) for your popcorn-eating needs. I'm assuming that popcorn is complimentary with your meal, because I saw a dude come up and get a bag of popcorn (twice). That's nice that Island House offers free popcorn. Anyway, I didn't eat the popcorn. It was a little ... I don't know. It was a little much for me. Instead, I ordered a Club Sandwich (toasted bread, ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato). The club sandwich was great! It's sometimes difficult to make a great club sandwich, even though the components are simple. This club sandwich at Island House was great. It came with ruffle chips. There is patio seating here at Island House, which is probably amazing during the summer and fall, because you're steps from the lake. I sat indoors (by a window), which is an option but FYI the ventilation is a little lacking and it was a tad stuffy inside.

Island House updated their food menu. The food is good and the crowd is great. Easy to come by boat.read more

Olde Dutch Restaurant in Logan -- so many people hyped this place up that we had to check it out…read more It's buffet style with all-you-can-eat salad bar, soups, hot dishes, and pies. Drinks are extra, and there's also a small $1-2 supplemental fee added on, which felt a little odd since it could probably just be included in the buffet price. The food itself is very classic home-style comfort food with lots of options. Nothing super fancy or out of the ordinary, but everything tasted fresh and the buffet was constantly being refilled every few minutes. We also got the iced sweet teas, which seemed to be really popular since almost every table had one. One unique thing -- the entrance and exit are through the gift shop, and you also pay there at the end of your meal, which definitely adds to the old-school country restaurant experience. Our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, too. Overall, worth the stop for the experience and comforting homemade-style food while visiting Logan.

They also offer a menu you can order from a la carte. The buffet was so extensive that we ended up sticking with it. I only hold off on the fifth star because some of the food was over salted and/or overcooked (especially the veggies- asparagus, cauliflower, etc).

High end breakfast restaurants give you more food and quality for that price. Considering that the hash tastes canned the value just isn't there. I will think twice about returning.

I don't normally leave negative reviews, but my recent experience at Denny's was incredibly disappointing. Our server got the egg order wrong--over easy was requested, but scrambled was served. That might have been forgivable on a busy day, but the issues didn't stop there. I ordered an iced tea, and it tasted absolutely rotten--like it had been sitting out for days. I politely asked for a replacement, and it took over 20 minutes just to get a glass of water. Meanwhile, our server rarely checked in, and the overall service felt like we were a burden just for being there. I came with my family hoping for a relaxing meal, but we left frustrated and unsatisfied. Denny's needs to seriously reconsider its quality control and customer service training at this location. read more

The scrambled eggs were flat and flavorless- how do scrambled eggs even get flat?! My sausage was ice cold in the middle which tells me that someone forgot to microwave it. Because it certainly wasn't cooked fresh. My "artisan sourdough" toast was no such thing. It was commercial grade sourdough that was toasted just long enough to melt butter. Also don't let the fancy syrup bottle fool you- its Mrs Butterworths corn syrup. Places like that should at least carry both real maple syrup and the fake stuff. This place is fast food breakfast disguised as a sit down restaurant- It was my first time and can guarantee I will not be back.

Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill

We visited Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill during 614 Restaurant Week, and I think this is one of the…read morebetter values offered this week. For $20, you get a starter, an entrée, and a dessert, which is hard to beat. The restaurant was quiet without feeling empty, and the background music was just loud enough to create a nice atmosphere while still allowing us to have a conversation. The dining room and the restroom were both clean, which I always appreciate. Our server, Liz, was the highlight of the visit. She was prompt, attentive, and refreshingly honest when I asked about menu substitutions. Instead of saying everything on the menu was great just to make a sale, she gave genuine recommendations, and I really appreciated that. She also stayed on top of our drinks, bringing refills before we ever had to ask. She checked on us several times throughout the meal without being intrusive. We ordered the Cookie Skillet for dessert, and she waited until we were actually finished eating before bringing it out so the ice cream wouldn't melt. It's those little details that make a difference. I started with the fresh garden salad, followed by the BB-style pizza with pepperoni and sausage. At first glance, it looked like sausage only because the pepperoni is layered under the cheese. The pizza was loaded with cheese and toppings, and the crust had a nice texture. The sauce leaned more savory than sweet. I personally prefer a sweeter pizza sauce, but it was still flavorful and enjoyable. We also shared the Carolina Gold chicken chunks, onion rings, and provolone wedges. The onion rings had a nice crispy coating and actually tasted like onions, which isn't always the case. The Carolina Gold chicken chunks were generously coated in the Carolina Gold sauce, but the chicken itself was pretty bland and mostly tasted like the sauce. I also think they could have been cooked just a little longer. The provolone wedges were hot, cheesy, and tasty--it's hard to mess those up, but they definitely hit the spot. The Cookie Skillet was the perfect way to end the meal. The cookie was served warm with crispy edges and a soft, gooey center filled with melted chocolate chips. It was topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and pecans. Even though I boxed up the rest of my meal to take home, I made sure to eat the cookie while it was still warm with the melting ice cream, and I'm glad I did. It was definitely my favorite part of the meal. One small observation: the restroom doors open inward, so if you've got a big back like me, getting out can be a little awkward. Thankfully, the restroom itself was very clean. Overall, I think the 614 Restaurant Week special is a great deal. Between the generous portions, comfortable atmosphere, clean restaurant, and exceptional service from Liz, I'd definitely come back. The food wasn't perfect, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but I'd absolutely recommend Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill if you're looking for a casual place where you can enjoy a good meal, have a conversation, and get a lot of food for the price.

The economy seems to be slowly killing this place. The menu has been drastically cut down, and the…read moreBurger & Brews deal is now gone. It does sporadically pop up here and there and seems to stick around for a while, which makes me suspect it's being used as a traffic driver. Either way, draft beer is now back to regular prices. If you're into craft draft beer with a good local selection, it's still a viable option. Most craft drafts are $7 for 16 ounces and $8 for 23 ounces, which is still pretty reasonable right now but it's cheaper nearby-look around. They also have Columbus Brewing Company Bodhi and CBC IPA on draft, for the scouts out there. We tried the pork tenderloin from the Oktoberfest menu, and it was a disappointment. It came out cold and tough, with barely any gravy on the meat or mashed potatoes, along with an oddly exorbitant amount of grain mustard. My wife's spring rolls, which came out at the same time, were piping hot. Ignore entrees-just get the pizza. The food also took a long time to arrive despite the restaurant being practically empty on a Wednesday night. The bartender was nice and definitely earned them the extra star. She was handling tables as well as the bar, so credit where it's due.

With a party of 17, my husband and I arrived early to secure seating, only to be told we couldn't be seated until our assigned server arrived--despite the fact that she had quit and was still on the schedule. A woman who appeared to be a manager or assistant manager then told us to move from the bar area (where we were told to wait) to the waiting area in front of the restaurant. When I questioned why we couldn't be seated in the meantime, she became visibly irritated, raised her voice, and made the situation uncomfortable, emphasizing that "It is Easter" and she was giving her employees time with their families. With that and her display, we decided to leave, and as we did, she repeatedly said, "Have a nice day!" in a condescending tone. Fortunately, LongHorn Steakhouse in Heath, OH turned our day around. They welcomed us immediately, and the managing partner, Adrienne Schmitt, went above and beyond--having heard about our experience, she even provided complimentary appetizers.
