    "I do not like catfish".... That's what I used to say. The waitress assured me that we would like their catfish. So we took a chance. She was right. Amazing, fantastic.... Did I mention amazing? Super service, amazing coleslaw, top to bottom the best seafood in Central Ohio.

    First time here. It was a Saturday night and the place was not overly busy. Walked in and was able to seat ourselves. This is clearly a family run establishment. We were taken care of by two different people. Drinks, appetizer and meal. Everyone was friendly and the place was nicely decorated. It wasn't overly large inside but had a good vibe. They do have a patio to choose from as well. I ordered the special which was a lobster roll. It was served in a baked bun. I was thrown off as I guess I was expecting something different, but it was cold. It was served cold in a warm bun. I think the contrast of the temps was off, the flavor was good, and clearly large chunks of lobster was found inside. Fries were of the fresh cut variety, they had a good crisp to them. Overall, a positive experience. I'll be back.

    Shrimp and cocktail dip. You can get shrimp in a variety of ways.

    You won't go wrong stopping in. Friendly service and family owned. Clean and plenty of space and cool decor. The food is fresh as you can get in Ohio for some fish options and the local fish such as Walleye can be found on the menu as well. Decent price and a menu that keeps things fresh and seasonal and at the same time keeps familiar items available too.

    Had a fish buffet today.  Catfish peach and chicken.   Great food

    Sorry people, but since reopening, your food has sucked. I've been three times, and ALL the meals…read morewe've had were awful. I don't know who is advising you on your new business model, but changing your menu was the worst thing you did. You had a good menu, you just needed to be consistent with preparing it. And the prices were a bit high for Buckeye Lake. I don't mind paying for good food, but when the quality went down, that's when we stopped coming back. You were offering specials from time to time, which were good!! And the live music was awesome. You also got rid of the best person working there. Nate the bartender. You people just don't know a good thing when you've got it. But, at our last visit, I see you saw the error of your ways. Sorry, I really hate to leave this kind of review, but you need to know. You took a nice "upper scale" restaurant and ruined it with that awful food. It's not the actual offerings, it's the quality of the food. Kinda reminds me of the food you get at a stand in an amusement park. My family owned a restaurant for many years, so this review isn't from just one unhappy customer.

    Second visit and review here. Again a good, no frills, cooked to order, basic seafood and sides…read moreplace. More than adequate parking. No crowd so plenty of seating. You order as you enter from options on the wall then find you seating. Service was accurate, prompt, and courteous . Food came quickly and hot was hot! Restaurant was clean. If you're comfortable with just good food in a laid back, non- glitzy, non-fast food setting, give here a try. Drinks are Coke products in cans, a plus for me.

    Was in the neighborhood dropping off supplies, so figured since I've had Thimmes bookmarked for…read moreyears, mind as well grab some lunch. Plenty of parking. Oldies music playing low. Lunch time on a Friday, school wasn't out for summer yet, so other customers were older retired folks. Inside's small but very fitting for Lancaster. Offerings are printed out on regular printer paper and taped on the wall. Everything's basic here, ambience isn't an issue, if you're into that. The older gal running FOH (wife?) was very sweet; guessing perhaps her husband mans the kitchen? I got the fish sandwich with cheese and tartar sauce and a side of shoestring fries. Both came fresh hot out of the fryer. The breading is thin - cornmeal, I'm assuming - didn't overpower the protein, the fish tasted good; no oil taste, a big bonus. Standard fries, very good. I passed on the bun, didn't want to fill up on plain bread. All in all, a very good lunch for cheap - you get what you pay for in the best way possible.
