I got the full buffet & she got the salmon w/ sweet potato fries & salad bar. Drinks were included as well. Plus she brought wheat rolls. The hot buffet was limited but everything was always fresh & very tasty. I can't complain about any item. The salmon was pretty good as it had a nice crust on it. The sweet potato fries were perfect & the cinnamon butter was even better. Salad bar was really fresh & the local cheddar cheese was amazing. The cold prepared salads were a bit too wet but yummy. Only dessert item was jello. The full buffet w/ drink only cost $18! And Karen was the best server!

Little disappointing they no longer have pizza available. Instead of updating the menu they just placed a sticker over top of the section. My daughter got mozzarella sticks. She thought they were good. They were the short fat ones. We prefer the long skinny ones. I know that may sound weird but usually if we know this ahead of time this will determine if she will order them or not. She did enjoy her kids chicken tender meal. My other daughter thought the grilled cheese was good too. Fries were beer battered which were a plus! My husband got the Chicken sandwich said it was delicious and wished it was bigger. The bun was a little disappointing. Looked and tasted like a Walmart bun. My Philly cheesesteak was decent but it tasted like Steak- Umms.

Home of the Famous Bologna Sandwich…read more That's the bold claim G & R Tavern has been making in Waldo, Ohio for more than 60 years, and judging by the line waiting outside when we arrived shortly after noon, plenty of people believe it. Located in a village of about 300 residents, G & R Tavern has become one of Ohio's most popular destination restaurants. Visitors come from all over the state to try the sandwich that put this small-town tavern on the map. Founded in 1962 by George Yake and Roy Klingel, G & R Tavern has become a true Ohio institution. In 1985, Rick's family purchased the restaurant and has continued the tradition ever since. During our visit, I had the opportunity to speak with Rick and learn that the next generation is already preparing to carry on the family tradition. In a time when many independent restaurants struggle to survive from one generation to the next, that's something worth celebrating. The atmosphere is exactly what longtime fans have come to love. Wood-paneled walls, a bustling dining room, homemade pies in the dessert case, and an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare today. Even the cash-only policy somehow feels right at home here. As for the famous sandwich, it continues to live up to its reputation. This Ohio classic features a thick-cut slice of fried bologna topped with melted American cheese, sweet pickles, and onion on a soft bun. It's simple, flavorful, and easy to understand why people continue making the trip to Waldo year after year. Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my wife, who ordered the fried bologna sandwich as well. That's not something she would normally choose, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. The fries were hot and crispy and made a great companion to the meal. Some places become popular for a season. Places like G & R Tavern become part of Ohio's history.

The food was OK. I had the bologna sandwich and it was everything a fried bologna sandwich should…read morebe. Ordered fried pickles à la carte as there are no side dishes with entries. They were OK also. Where my visit suffered was in the customer service space. I was off put initially how the greeter man was adamant about standing outside while they wait for a cleared table. Then we got seated and it took 25 minutes for anyone to ask "have you been helped yet?" From that point on chasing down serve staff became the name of the game. Since I stopped on my way back from Hocking Hills to Toledo, I was really looking forward to this experience. Ended up being pretty disappointed. If it matters, it did appear that they serviced their local regular customers with an abundance of warmth & haste. Looked like they had a great experience.

This was one of the first bars I ever drank at and I loved it the last time we went as much as I did the first time. It's the nostalgia for me!

Loads of regulars and that speaks to the staff!

On my continuing drive-about breakfast adventures, I stumbled into Edison Depot -- part restaurant,…read morepart coffee shop, part ice cream parlor, and 100% small-town charm. First impression? The place was incredibly clean -- the kind of clean where you almost hesitate to set down your coffee mug because you don't want to mess up the shine. Inside, the locals were holding court: talking crops, local happenings, and laughing like this was their morning news network. It felt less like eavesdropping and more like I'd been drafted into the Edison Breakfast Club. I went with the Country Fried Steak and scrambled eggs (the waitress must've sensed I needed backup protein). The food was solid, classic diner fare -- hearty enough to fuel a day of farming, driving, or just another round of local gossip. The real MVP? The service. My waitress treated coffee refills like an Olympic relay -- the bottom of my cup never once saw daylight. For the tribe, I ordered a breakfast bowl, a half order of biscuits and gravy, some bacon, and even oatmeal to keep things balanced. The portions were generous, and it all packed up neatly for the road. Pro Tip: Don't just come hungry, come curious. Sit back, sip your coffee, and you'll leave knowing more about Edison crops than you ever planned. Verdict: Edison Depot is the kind of place where breakfast isn't just a meal -- it's a community event with eggs, gravy, and unlimited coffee on the side.

It's a unique place with an old train car built into the structure. Be careful on the steps. Tjey don't have anything vegan and not much is vegetarian, but my parents enjoy the burgers and say it's much better than fast food. I had a grilled cheese with fries. It was good, if a little basic, but it was also really cheap. Could make it at home, but nice to eat out sometimes. Much cheaper than grilled cheese at a food truck. The burgers are cheaper than fast food so it is better to go here as opposed to a fast food chain. They also have an ice cream parlor, but I haven't tried that yet. Over it's pretty good.

Order dinner from here tonight for our family. One of our subs was completely wrong, even though…read morethe bag was labeled correctly. When we called to let them know about the mistake, the woman who answered the phone was VERY rude and unprofessional. Claimed she told us at pickup that we weren't charged for the sub, then claimed we were given credit for the sub (neither of which is true). She proceeded to tell us (in an obnoxious and rude tone) that the sub was made the way she likes her subs, NEWS FLASH, customers typically order food the way THEY like it. The rudeness and unprofessional approach was not needed in ANY way. I understand that you may be busy around dinner time (you're a restaurant for goodness sake)....that's also not an acceptable excuse for the way you handled this situation. Will not recommend anyone to go there, if they want to be treated with respect as a paying customer.
