I'm beginning to believe they can do no wrong here. Today, 8/6/26, I tried the Walleye Rueben and hot cabbage and Brussel sprouts. Both were excellent! Kate was our server and she is aces. It is a fast paced and crowded restaurant at times, but they handle it like the pros they are and keep everything clean and welcoming. read more

Muddy Misers - Walleye Rueben and Hot Cabbage Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Very pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Zanesville! We started on the patio with a lovely garden & view of the river, sadly it started to rain. Server was so sweet & helped us move inside. We got Tuna appetizer & it was fantastic. We both got the Muddy burger & thought it was cooked perfectly. We did not add the bbq sauce & it was still good! I got chips & he got fries & we shared. I especially liked the fries. read more

Great location in Zanesville with a beautiful patio and view of the river. Many great seafood options on the menu. I had the Walleye Reuben without the coleslaw. The bread and fish were excellent. The chips were fresh and homemade. Others at the table raved about the traditional Reuben and the shrimp. The server was friendly and helpful. The food arrived timely and fresh. There are cute shops and at times a farmers market next door. I would love to come back, have lunch and explore the area. read more

Driving through Ohio and picked this place since it was opened later, and to be fair when I walked in I could see they were short staffed this Thursday and we should have left, but we had planned to meet someone else who was driving 2 hours to meet for dinner. The staffed was very stressed, one more snappy and tbe other one very sweet. Could be a cute place, lots of Dirty tables. My friend loved her lobster ravioli. Walleye Ruben- I'm uncertain why this exists, I was curious, my curiosity is satisfied. The walleye does not make a good Ruben. Fries were good tho! Crawfish point- hubs liked his. Crab stuffed shrimp- do not recommend, shrimp was overcooked and not seasoned at all and the "crab" content was questionable. read more

This is a neat place and I definitely want to come back when we can sit on the patio overlooking the river. The seasonal cocktails were superb; the old fashioned was not. The walleye reuben was huge and hubby loved it. The short rib sandwich was ok, but nothing special. Service was great, and the people were all lovely. Just not consistently above average food and drinks. read more

Quality of food . And Portions of food prices very high for what you got !!drinks were very bad couldn't really taste any alcohol! . Couldn't smoke outside had to get off property which is a bunch of bullshit . I had a cheeseburger burger that the meat was very bland and small for 15. Dollars . We should have went to steak and shake better quality of food and a third of the price . We have been trying new places in zanesville and this place was a real disappointment . read more

Oh my gosh! this place was bomb! from the nice and informative service to the cozy feeling the inside interior brought you. The food was fresh so it might take a mon for your food to reach your table but it was sure worth the wait. you get a nice view of the sunset and bridge if you sit by the windows. i'd come back here again if im ever in town for work! read more

Everything I have ever had here has been good. Love to sit outside with views of the river.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Our waitress today was Tara Clark. She was great and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

This little gem, nestled along the banks of the Muskingum River, is a friendly, casual spot with an elevated menu and brilliant flavors. And when I say "elevated," I'm talking about the quality. The entire menu is accessible. It's big, meaty flavors and delectable seafood without an ounce of pretension. We're a touch out of season, so the riverside deck wasn't open for dining. But the internal spaces were cozy, and the staff was outstanding. The menu is filled with tempting options, Lobster Rolls, Steaks, Chops, Fish and Chips, Grilled Salmon, and more and more. It was lunchtime, so I had the Short Rib Philly. My lunch guest had the Signature Salad with Salmon. Ever have one of those lunches where the conversation stops, because the food takes over? Yeah, this was that. Highly recommend in any season. Summer on the patio seems like a great choice. read more

Nice atmosphere being on the river with outdoor seating on the deck as a premium. Service was good with a busy crowd. The food took a little longer than anticipated as the place was crowded and several large orders were priority. The sweet potato fries are a worthy side for any entrée. Prices were typical and just for what you got. Being on the water, would have appreciated a local flair or specialty. The Mac n cheese was slightly disappointing. Expected more flavor or texture being homemade. read more

My husband and I frequently eat at Muddy Misers and always have been very satisfied with food and service but tonight when eating dinner, there was a couple at the bar that were very loud and dropping the f bomb's left and right when there were families and elderly people having dinner. I am all for having a good time but this is family casual and not a dive bar. We go to find out the couple were the owners. Not a professional look to your customers or staff. Its pretty sad when the staff has to apologize for the owners of the establishment for being loud and drunk at their own establishment especially the wife. Not a good look! One piece of advice dont get drunk and loud at the the place you own take it to another bar. Probably wont go back for a while. Even the food wasnt that great tonight. It was most definitely you as the owners of the bar. The tv at the bar scrolls pictures had a piture of you as the owners and we googled the owners of muddy misers and there you were and your wife, N Johnson. read more

Fantastic! Had the walleye blackened and it was fabulous. Tara Clark was great server as well.

Our lunch was great!! We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the historic city of Zanesville. I recommend eating here and also crossing the Y Bridge which is part of the old National Road! Interesting history! read more

The food was excellent! Our bartender Kait was exceptional! Highly recommend Ralph Huddleston-Roseville, Ohio read more

The food was phenomenal. Craw tails were cooked perfectly not dried out like that could've been. Bourbon glazed sweet fries were absolutely a dessert hidden as a side. They were the best thing i've put in my mouth in weeks. The views of the river from the back patio were great and the ambiance after the sun set really made this a romantic dinner for two. Our waitress was great. She suggested us towards the sweet fries and our seasonal drinks and deserved the hefty tip. Long drive through Ohio five outa five-o. read more

I felt as though I was sitting next to Zane Grey. We were able to get right in and service was quick.

One of our favorite restaurants in Zanesville. Food is always delicious. Variety of options although I usually order seafood.the scallops are amazing as are the crab cakes! The service is excellent. read more

Food was pretty excellent. Could use a tad of garlic powder or garlic to the zucchini. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Our waitress was amazing. Still, food is pricey but we will go back. My son demolished his burger and onion rings. Forgot to take pictures. read more

Food was not that great the past 2 times we have been there. Lobster rolls were small. Slaw maybe only had one small piece of Brussels sprouts. Next time the fish was dry and the person that ordered a filet definitely didn't get a filet. Was a different cut of steak read more

Good food, good service, great coffee. A very nice little museum of Zane Grey. Too bad it was too hot to eat outside.

Great food and staff plus a cool ambience & location. we highly recommend if around the area.

Really good service and food. The scenery was nice as well, overlooking the river. Would definitely return.

Becky is the best bartender in Muskingum County! We love to go here just to see her and the vibe that she has. Always happy, always making sure our food order is correct, and always on top of it. She is one of the best servers in the county. Who else can you call and have her instantly remember what you ordered last time and how you ordered it??! read more

Fabulous little gem. Couldn't believe it's so off the beaten path. Great service, a warm gentle welcome. Full bar, full room for parties and the portions of delicious homemade food is delicious enough to write a review. The reuben was to die for. Very big sandwich with awesome fries. Shrimp cocktail was fabulous. Extemely large shrimp!! The Gyro was delicious, made to perfection. We will for surely be back, just know ahead of time, it's a busy little place. Well worth the wait. read more

Food was so good!!! I would probably go back again but the service was really slow. We were sitting for 45 minutes before we even got our appetizer. read more

Was only driving through Zanesville and read the reviews here on Yelp so my husband and stopped in to for lunch. Such charm in this place, to cold to sit outside but what a view! Our server was the bartender, we sat at the top tables behind the bar. She made me a carmel apple cider mule, it's was delicious We had the chicken shrimp nachos which my husband devoured it and yes he was suppose to share. He got the crayfish po boy sandwich, it was delicious. He did share this. I had the buffalo grilled wrap with their side salad. The chicken was tender and the ranch dressing was really good. Overall everything here was delicious, can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer. read more

Great food and great service. We got our food pretty quickly after sitting down. Definitely would recommend the fish and chips!

This has a genuine off road feel. In the city that gave us Zane Grey, famous western author, it is decorated accordingly. It is next to the Muskingum River which added a nice view. She had ribs which were better than average because they didn't overcook them and there was a hint of smoke which wasn't overbearing but added a nice piquancy. I had a ribeye sandwich which was well above average. Their menu had some odd fish offering that intrigued me but I chose safety. I am adding this to my list. Rachael took her job seriously. This is a decent selection outside the chains read more

Smaller than expected inside. Very nice patio seating area. Cool decor. Food was meh, people rave about the seafood, but the craw tails were okay. The garlic sauce they were tossed in was amazing! The burger had pulled pork, bacon and beef. They all ran together, no distinct taste of each. Beer battered fries were good. Service was average. We were taken care of by the bartender, so there was some extra wait time. read more

Had a business dinner of 9 people. Only speaking for myself. Ordered a steak, it was over cooked, baked potato side came late well after my steak was served. Waitress was somewhat rude, speaking over the table when someone was presenting or talking. One of my party loved their burger. It did look good. One in my party didn't like the fish. So I guess this place is hit or miss. read more

I rely a lot on the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers and this restaurant had a 4.5 star rating so I was quite hopeful. Maybe it was an off-day but I cannot, in good conscience, give this place a 4 or 5 start rating. PROS: my fish sandwich was excellent - a solid 4-star my fries were superb - a solid 5-star my wife's soup was excellent - a solid 4-star the salad dressing was excellent - a solid 4-star our server was very pleasant CONS: the greens in my wife's salad were "past their prime" - a solid 2-star service was slow and it took a long time for our food to come out (2-star) my wife requested pepper for her soup - never received (1-star) our server never followed up with the pepper they add a "credit card surcharge" to your bill - not noted on the menu We were seated on the patio with a nice view of the Muskingam River. We arrived around 1:45-2:00 and the patio was full most of the time we were here. Sorry - but considering the CONS listed above - this place rates a 3-star - very good but definitely not 4-star service or salads. read more

Crawfish poor boy was great. My wife had the walleye Reuben. Also great. Nice view of the river from the patio.

Fantastic find!!! Don't let the limited selection of draft beer scare you away. Unique menu intricately prepared. In from out of town and completely enjoyed our visit! Bourbon glazed sweet fries are a MUST!!! I had a corned beef Ruben it was delicious, wife had salmon, perfectly under cooked as ordered. Absolutely recommend a visit to the comfortable old bar feel with fantastic food. read more

Amazing place! Our waitress was friendly and amazing. The drinks were great, along with our meals and the dessert. We started off with the crab wontons which were especially good dipped in the chili sauce. The ribs had a good smoky flavor while falling off of the bone. The shrimp stuffed with crab cakes was fresh and delicious. Alcoholic drinks were well made, and the bread pudding was to die for. I'd highly recommend trying this place if you haven't! read more
