    This is the first Rumpus Room review in "over 10 years!" This is probably because the RR reopened…read morein August of 2025 after being shutdown for about 5 years! Okay people now THIS is a "neighborhood bar." It serves the historic Birmingham neighborhood of East Toledo, but seems very friendly to outsiders (like your's truly). Laice, the bartender was great. Drinks: Strong and well priced. Local booze? Yes! Several products from Toledo Spirits are in da house! Lots of domestic beer, White Claw, canned Bacardi's, etc). Craft beer? Nah. FOOD: Not really yet, but they are working on reopening the kitchen. Right now, however, they do have (LOL) chips, nuts, and beef jerky. And, you can bring in your own food, too. Very comfy atmosphere. TOTAL throwback. Again, THIS is a what a neighborhood bar is supposed to be. Tons of booths...seems like a great place to serve food. RR has pool tables, online Jukebox, keno, etc...everything you'd expect to find in a neighborhood bar. The Rumpus Room. Hey? It is what it is...and for this kind of place, it's 5 stars!

    I live in a region with a lot of restaurants per capita, the vast majority of which are mediocre or…read moreoutright bad. They have remained so, unfortunately, because the people who live around here don't know any better, or simply don't care that their dining options are so abysmal. That said, the Rumpus Room is a dive bar that serves food. This is by no means a novel concept, and the bar (no pun intended) certainly isn't set high; however, a lot of bars around where I live manage to screw up simple things. Even worse, there are a few bars that market themselves as "gastropubs," which, in addition to being inaccurate, has the unfortunate side effect of duping some unsuspecting and unknowing diners into believing that they've stumbled upon a real gastropub. And now, a brief interlude... Merriam-Webster defines a gastropub as "a pub, bar, or tavern that offers meals of high quality," which is why it's risible that Ye Olde Durty Bird and Bar 145 think of themselves as gastropubs. This is not necessarily to say that either Ye Olde Durty Bird or Bar 145 serve poor-quality food (they don't) or that they're being intentionally dishonest by associating themselves with the term "gastropub" (they're not). What this is saying, however, is that people in this area wouldn't know a gastropub if one crept up behind them and smacked them across the face. Moving on, the Rumpus Room gets it right. No glamour, glitz, or puffery at 2212 Consaul Street, just good food. Nothing exceptional, mind you; then again, that's perfectly acceptable as long as you're not telling people something to the contrary. The burgers are excellent, and are served with house-made potato chips. On my last visit, I enjoyed a cup of chicken paprikash soup, likely a nod to the surrounding historically Hungarian neighborhood, Birmingham. The only other individual in the bar at the time of my last visit, a man I adjudged to be the proprietor, told me that this coming Friday would feature breaded pork chops, sweet and sour cabbage, and mashed potatoes, which I'm sure will be on par with everything else I've had here. The putative owner also offered that the meatloaf, the recipe for which was his mother's, has pleased everyone who's ordered it. Clearly, I need to order it the next time I'm there. I've only been to the Rumpus Room for lunch, so I can't speak to the alcohol offered; however, I've seen what's there. Draft beer isn't available, but the requisite brands of American lager (e.g., Budweiser, Bud Light) are. Likely owing both to the clientele and the time warp in which the Rumpus Room exists, widely available brands of liquor sit next to bottles of Black Velvet, Queen Anne, Seagram's VO, and, although I don't remember seeing it, I can't imagine there isn't a bottle of Cutty Sark somewhere. Contrary to the Rumpus Room's radio advert on 100.7 The Zone, I wouldn't bring my family here, and, were I single, I wouldn't bring a date here. But I would return - and have - for the friendly atmosphere and the satisfying meals.

    I frequent this restaurant because it is close to my workplace. There is ample parking but it can…read morebe hard to access if you haven't been there before if you're coming from the expressway because you enter off of a smaller side street after a u-turn. The restaurant is reasonably clean and the store is well stocked. I have not experienced a wait, even if there were charter buses in the parking lot. The service is good; my regular server recently retired, but she was great and greeted me personally and knew my order specifics. The hosts and hostesses are friendly as well. The food is standard Cracker Barrel, which is pretty good in my opinion. I enjoy their pancakes with peach topping, broccoli cheddar chicken and macaroni and cheese. The pancakes are a little crispy on the edges and go wonderfully with the peach compote that is served warm on top of the pancakes. The broccoli cheddar chicken is a Wednesday special that is topped with crumbled Ritz crackers. The creamy sauce and crispy crackers make it a very pleasant dish. Overall, this is an above average example of this chain and I will return regularly.

    This has nothing to do with the rebrand, but that sucks as well. Visited here last night. Walked in…read moreto a dining room full of the Amish. Which was actually pretty cool! Makes me miss Der Dutchman's food. The new menu includes new items and price points. I tried the steak and chicken combo. Bad move the steak was horrible. It was like it was cooked in a bad. No grill/sear. No seasoning. Tough as hell!!! The chicken was okay. Carrots not up to the usual standard. The new salad was fine. The only reason I gave it three stars was Austin. He was a fantastic server. He was training a new server so I hope he does it well. It will be awhile before I will be back.
