It has plenty of parking and is very cutely decorated. Bathrooms are clean. Food was amazing. Our whole party got various drinks, and they have a wide selection of combos. Bloody Mary was highlight along with their coffee. All of our food was delicious. The quinoa was super good and interesting almost sweet. Eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly. Steak and chorizo tasted fresh and delicious. Our server was amazing. Ver nice and brought a littl birthday treat for us. Food took some time and she was very nice and kind about it. Honestly the wait for the food did not phase me since everything was made so fresh.

Our first visit to this restaurant was because we learned that this was the family that was…read moreresponsible for the French fries at Cedar Point during my childhood. My Dad would visit Cedar Point just to eat these French fries, and enjoy the Lake Erie views. The fries are as good as the originals, and the restaurant has great desserts to compensate for no Lake Erie views. My "go to" has become a turkey club, with French fries (obviously). The servings are always so generous I have to get my pie to go, and I usually leave with a slice of apple pie. Finally, the servers treat everyone like they're a regular, and most customers are.

I was able to order a small plate of spaghetti and a salad (which completely hit the spot) as part of their pick 2 type menu. There are so many homestyle options on the menu. I also tried their season strawberry pie which was DELICIOUS! The restaurant is a simple diner. Nothing flashy or anything, but very comfortable. I will be back in the future!

Two weeks ago I got to come here to celebrate some good decisions! My best friend passed away five years ago. Her and I used to come to this spot after we would go to the club and dance under age and drink under age and then come eat giant stacks of wholesome pancakes. Her daughter graduated nursing school two weeks ago, and an honor of her. I came with her daughter, her daughter's three children, her husband, and his new little one. This was a full table! Everyone left full happy and well served, and I spent around 120 bucks. The value is fantastic! The service is amazing, and it feels like a throwback diner. It may be a little dated, but it's always clean and very welcoming.

The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly, and they had a blast while we were there. It's definitely a spot that keeps kids entertained and makes it a little easier to relax as a parent. What truly stood out was the staff's integrity and kindness. I accidentally left my credit card there, and not only did they go out of their way to mail it back to me, they included a cute little Thirsty Pony drink coozie in the envelope. That was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. Customer service like that really matters. The atmosphere and the way they handled my mistake absolutely left a positive impression. Thank you to the team for going above and beyond -- that kindness did not go unnoticed!

We're staying at the Holiday next door and came in for a late dinner after a fun-filled day at…read moreCedar Point so pretty hungry and super thirsty. We didn't get any menus when first sat down so our server was scrambling a bit since the host kind of left us hanging. Our server was really great at keeping our cups full and putting in our order quickly. The food came out pretty fast which was really surprising but tasted pretty subpar. You really should come here for the vibes which were fun and lively! There's also a bowling alley, axe throwing, laser tag, at least 3 different sports bars/betting, arcade, AND a food truck outside with yard games. I ordered the cluck cluck burger which has bacon and an egg. The burger patty was pretty dry but it was saved by the egg. It comes on a pretzel bun which I loved! My nephew ordered a ton of apps instead of an entree and got the giant pretzel (cheese came out pretty dry with a hard top), onion rings, and the cheesesteak fries. He liked the fries the best, onion rings were good, but the pretzel was cold. My husband got chicken wings naked with three or so sauces on the side which weren't very good so I'd suggest getting them normally breaded. He also ordered a burger with sweet potatoes fries that were pretty good but his patty was also dry.

5/5 Stars -- Ohio's Ice Cream Legend…read more By far the best place in Ohio to get fresh, amazing ice cream. I mean, Toft's Dairy has like 50 flavors--seriously, there's something for everyone. You can grab a cone, a cup, or even buy ice cream to take home for the family. And it's not just ice cream--they have milk, specialty drinks, and even fun merch like t-shirts. My personal favorite? Peanut Butter Cup + Peanut Butter Pretzel--absolute perfection. Creamy, nutty, salty, sweet... all the things you want in a summer treat. Sizes? They've got three, but honestly, the small is perfect: enough to satisfy that ice cream craving without going overboard. Medium is basically a full meal, so pace yourself. What makes it extra special for me: we know someone who works there (we met her at Kalahari), and she loves giving suggestions on flavor combos. Her tips always take a cone from great to legendary. And of course, there's the Cedar Point connection--stopping at Toft's after a day on the rides or after a big sporting event is pure nostalgia. Sticky fingers, huge smiles, and ice cream that tastes like summer memories. Bottom line: Toft's Dairy isn't just ice cream--it's a tradition, a memory, and hands-down the best sweet spot in Sandusky. You go once, and you'll be back again and again.
