Kissner's is a true Defiance staple--the oldest tavern in Ohio still owned by one family--and it…read moreshows in the warmth, consistency, and quality they've delivered for 95 years. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night munchies, the full-service menu genuinely has something for everyone, from classic omelets to more adventurous options like pork brain. The ambience is part of the charm--it still has that same old flair, giving the space a nostalgic, welcoming feel that reflects its long history without feeling dated. I especially loved the little touches, like the coat and purse holders on the wall--if you blink, you might miss them (they were hidden under garland, lol). I had the Sizzling Boys Steak Hoagie with light onions and mushrooms, plus a side of Cheddar Cheese Curds--all excellent. Halfway through my meal, I couldn't resist stealing my partner's bacon and adding it to my hoagie... OMG, it took the flavor to the next level. Highly recommend that upgrade. Jake went with two French toasts, eggs, bacon, and waffle fries (subbed for home fries) and was just as impressed. The food was delicious across the board, and our waiter--whose name I unfortunately don't remember--was amazing and incredibly attentive. Great service, great food, and a timeless atmosphere--Kissner's absolutely lives up to its reputation.

This restaurant desperately needs improvement on DoorDash deliveries. There isn't a dedicated area to pick up deliveries like other restaurants. So tonight, the 5th employee that walked by me finally asked me if I was being helped. She was very polite. The previous 4? No acknowledgment at all! No eye contact, no smiles... DoorDash gives drivers a time to pick up orders. Almost every time that I arrive, this restaurant hasn't been able to deliver a pickup order within the allocated time frame. The longest I have waited to pick up an order has been 35 minutes. I have waited more than 10-15 minutes on other orders, and drivers have the option on unassigning an order if they have to wait that long. The problem with that is that if the order is unassigned, the customer has to wait until another driver comes to pick it up, and I'm sure that especially on non pizza orders, burgers for example, those orders are not hot at all. As a customer, if your order from this place isn't hot, this is probably what has happened. This restaurant has issues and I won't go into them here, but this is to educate customers as to what happens when you place an order here. Expect a delay on your order. And if your order is hot, and your order has taken awhile to be delivered, that means your DoorDash driver waited until they prepared your order.... Customers need to keep this in mind when ordering from here.

I stopped at Frisch's Big Boy for lunch earlier today as I was driving from Indianapolis to Detroit…read moreas this is a quick easy destination just south of US-24. I stopped to take a selfie by the entrance of the iconic Big Boy statue as I entered that I thought would be fun to send to my family and friends. To my surprise, a hostess had seen me from inside and offered to take a picture for me which I declined, but we both laughed. I've been going to Big Boy in Ohio since my childhood as this was a destination that my parents would meet my great aunt and exchange different siblings/cousins to go spend a week vacation in Cleveland which would go on for a few weeks with weekend meals at Big Boy and then exchange another set until everyone had a turn which is a fond memory. I ordered a Big Boy Special which is a double decker hamburger and I chose onion rings and Cole slaw. My food was prepared quickly and I found the Big Boy to be as tasty as I remembered and the onion rings were crispy and not oily at all and the coleslaw was simple and delicious. I was even sending some photos to my friends who wanted to know what I was having and thought this was a nice portion. This location usually has a few locals frequenting when I stop and my server, Miranda C , was efficient and friendly as was the hostess who offered to take the photo. My table was clean, patrons were enjoying themselves, and the rest room was clean. Lunch was just under $21 including gratuity for an enjoyable break from driving.

Whenever I see a Big Boy I need to stop in and have a bite of nostalgia. In many cases when one…read morewants to reminisce of the 'good ole days' foodwise, one finds a semblance of the taste, environs and history combined in the setting. Unfortunately, this was not the case with my visit recently to Frisch's Big Boy Restaurant in Defiance, Ohio! One of the few vestiges of a Big Boy bygone era. Unfortunately, the expectations are one cannot relive the past to remake current expectations. But, since my last visit to this here specific Big Boy on Clinton Street in Defiance just a few very, very short years ago, things seem to have gotten worse. I now understand why they have only garnered a 1.8 rating on Yelp! It makes me wonder whether the other seven locations are the same. From the almost bare seating available other than the 100-year-old booths, to the lack of patrons at lunch time, to a certain degree of deficiency of cleanliness says a lot. Their offerings although somewhat extensive ranges from Burgers & Sandwiches, beverages, hot meals, salads and so on... but once ordered, one's nostalgic enthusiasm is exhausted! To make a long story short my wife and sis decided to go the their ¼ lb. beef burger with cheese, mayo, tomato, lettuce and pickles. And I went for the cup of Chili with onion and cheese - very bland, very lacking. And the Fish & Chips with 2 dried up and tough brown batter which seemed like they'd molded pieces of whitefish served with fries and what they called Tartar Sauce. I'm sorry... we have visited Frisch's Big Boy Restaurant of Northwest Ohio here in Defiance with every visit to Defiance over the past twenty years, but unfortunately not again. Caveat emptor.
