When in downtown Sandusky, you can't find better food, better service, nor a better vibe than Shore…read moreHouse Tavern. The place radiates friendliness and you truly feel like a regular when you walk in, warmly greeted right away and taken care of the entire duration of your meal. My family had returned after a long day of theme park food and I needed something lite - and their seasonal salad was just what I needed. It was a very generous portion with some of my the sweetest strawberries I've ever had with candied walnuts, feta cheese, and a delicious vinaigrette to go along with it. Skip the theme park dining when you can - or at the very least, supplement it with this delicious cuisine and friendly service.

Our first night in Sandusky landed us in this small tavern right across Lake Erie…read more Very casual vibe and everyone was very accommodating but seemed overwhelmed. For an appetizer, we ordered the wedge salad and the Buffalo Chicken dip. I got the perch dinner for my main course. The kid got a chicken sandwich and my wife got the brisket Mac n cheese. They said that the kitchen was backed up. Honestly, it was totally not an issue. We were just relaxing, watching the game and chilling after a 7 hour drive from NJ. What was an issue was...... appetizers came out exactly the and time as the main courses. WHY????????? It couldn't have taken that long to throw blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes on a chunk of lettuce and pump out the Buffalo Chicken dip and then worry about the main courses later. Now we have to decide, do we want to eat the entrees or even touch the appetizers. That alone always ruins everything. Food was very good. Like I said, people were very nice but you just can't bring everything out at once. Defeats the point of "starting" with something.

If you are in the area, you can't skip this place. If you're from Cleveland, the Marketplace at the…read moreCooke will remind you a lot of the 5th Street Arcades in downtown Cleveland. This is a super cool public market hall in downtown Sandusky with maybe 15ish (just a guess) local businesses like a bakery, bowling alley, axe throwing game space, ice cream shop and boutiques. This is a cool place to spend an hour or two just browsing and supporting local while grabbing some dessert. The building has some type of history to it which I was unable to readily find online (boo, that is so odd). But the history is paid homage in the design of this space, with old timey photos of Sandusky and Cedar Point blown up on the walls and little stories to accompany them. The design is actually brilliant. It's a cool mixture of old school heritage meets modern rustic vibes. It makes you want to stop and look. The businesses in this building are open during the pandemic, just make sure to check with each business directly before visiting as most of the hours are likely changed. I stopped by here extremely quickly (I do not go out much during the pandemic) to pick up some pre-paid birthday treats from Bake Erie. It has a spacious, accessible parking lot and is just a joy to browse. Check it out for yourself, than continue exploring the surrounding area of local businesses... and Lake Erie :)

Every one of us were so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was (based on experiences at other establishments during our trip).

I also loved the bakery style front & wanted to grab something to go, but I was just so full! I wish I could ship food from this restaurant to my home 2,000 miles away- it's THAT good. Highly recommend!

Pretty much this has really become my favorite place to grab some much needed sustenance when inside Cedar Point as the Foldovers are all really good and definitely unique as I haven't seen any other parks doing sandwiches like this! The crispy chicken one is delicious it's full of lettuce tomato crispy chicken and some ranch dressing to make it just that much better with that yummy Foldover bread which kinda resembles a pita bread and you know it just fits! The Italian one is also really good too as it's filled with Italian meats and some veggies with a vinaigrette to ad some more zest to something that's already yummy! The meatless sausage one thought is also definitely where it's at as it's also one of the best vegetarian options in the park this Foldover sandwich packs some flavorful goodness inside just get it and you'll see what I mean! They accept Dinning Pass here so definitely take advantage of that or don't forget to use your season pass for a discount off your purchase! The Foldovers come with fries or a side salad so just let them know and you'll be all good with your sandwich! They also have chicken tenders here but it's all about the folded goodness so just get one you'll be thankful you did! Overall delicious goodness inside the park you soo know I'll be coming here again soon for some Foldover yumminess!

I can't tell if they can do it all, but I can tell their frutti di mare was excellent and so it was their Bolognese. Their fried calamari appetizer was good but it could use a different sauce. It is a wine bar so there are quite a few wine choices, I went with a vinho verde and loved it. The service and the atmosphere are excellent as well, a must try in Sandusky.
