    Had a nice experience here. We were short on time so ordered our lunch to go but we sat inside and waited. The decor is really cute and they have windows overlooking the water. The service was super friendly too! My party ordered the portabella po' boy with Parmesan asparagus instead of fries ($1 upcharge), the pulled pork sandwich, and the boathouse salad. I am told the portabella sandwich was amazing (it looked really good!) and the pulled pork was good. My salad was a little disappointing but overall fine. They had a few appetizers that sounded tasty as well...I would definitely go back and eat inside!

    It was a disappointing experience. In a nutshell, the food was not fresh and the servers were incompetent not to mention their poor manners. My friends and I were so excited to try this restaurant. The setting looked amazing, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the menu looked so good! Starting from the moment we sat down, the ordering process for dine-in items was unnecessarily difficult and slow. Also, we had to jump through hoops to make a to-go order. The server first said its not possible to make a to-go order, then said we need to speak to a manager in order to make a to-go order. Overall, an unnecessarily difficult experience. The dine-in orders showed up and yet again, we were disappointed and concerned for our health. Cold, hard fries on the poutine, and soggy, limp, warm fries on another order. The onion rings were drowning in an absurd amount of oil, similarly, the mac and cheese was also drowned in a pool of orange colored oil. There is no reason the food need to be cooked in that amount of oil. The grilled salmon was overcooked and dry. More alarmingly, it smelled really fishy, indicating questionable freshness and raises health and safety concerns. A surprising outcome for a restaurant named the boathouse. All of us left the restaurant concerned for our health. When the bill came, the server hovered over the shoulder. As soon as the bill was signed, the server reached over and yanked the bill away and left. My friends and I entered the restaurant with joy and excitement and left disappointed and worried for our health.

    Love this place. It's so spacious and the decor is fun! The views of the river are really nice in the booths! The food was delicious and the waitress was awesome! Great dinner!

    Me and my group waited almost two hours just to get our food. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks.

    Amish Country at its best!…read more This is a gem of a restaurant. We found this place thanks to the great reviews on Yelp. We were not familiar with Baltic, Ohio, yet we were so happy we found this place. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were eating in someone's home. Christian, the manager, could have not done anything more to accommodate us. He really went out of his way to enhance our experience. Our waitress, Arlene, had told us she had been there for several years and you could really tell this by her ability to help us through the menu. She wanted to make sure we were completely satisfied. The menu was one like I had never seen before. Everything from a large breakfast selection to Wagyu and Prime steaks. I had the best Ruben sandwich I had ever eaten ( that is saying a lot). We also shared the Wagyu filet with hand cut fries and sweet potato fries. The steak was sautéed with fresh mushrooms and onions. The steak was seasoned to absolute perfection. You have to try this. I have posted pictures of the menu. Don't forget a side order of homemade mac & cheese. Their prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food and the impeccable service. The decor is perfect. Simple yet very pretty. They even have a nice area (living room style) that we hung out in until our table was ready. This Amish restaurant is the "best of the best". I will be back in this area next year and will be sure to make this my go to restaurant. Bravo to the staff and chef, well done.

    Frankly, I didn't hate or love it. I just don't see a reason to make a trip there other than a…read morelack of competition. Food = Jalapeño popper dip was good. Pork chop was cooked alright, but definitely needed a sauce to add some flavor as it was bland. Coconut mango rice was sad (my wife is filipino so she knows a bit about rice, mangoes, and coconut). I had the reuben and it was alright. I don't understand why all the steaks and fish are "market price" on the menu. This is not a fancier restaurant that serves wagyu, why can you not figure out how to price half of your meats? Service = Good with no problems. Restaurant = Stylish, Spacious, and Clean.

    We stopped in for an unplanned dinner after running around all day north of Ashland…read more Richelle got the pork belly Mac and cheese, which was fantastic. I got the smokehouse chicken salad which was also very good especially if you get a side of their Carolina mustard bbq sauce. We also worded a side of Brussel sprouts, yummy. We pair dinner with the redhead ciderhouse blackberry shandy, it was a fabulous cider, one of our favorites now. Servers were very nice. This restaurant has live music and even special meal events that look like a lot of fun.

    Absolutely amazing! The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in…read more We started with the cheese curds, and they were some of the best I've had--big, perfectly crispy cubes with great flavor. The Three Cheese Grilled Cheese had an insane cheese pull and was loaded with melty, delicious cheese. The tater tots were surprisingly flavorful, seasoned with a unique blend that definitely had onion and a hint of garlic, along with other spices I couldn't quite identify--but they were fantastic! The Mouthful definitely lives up to its name. It's huge, incredibly filling, and absolutely worth ordering if you're hungry. To top it all off, we tried the crème brûlée for the first time ever, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. It was delicious and made for an awesome first experience with the dessert. Overall, South Street Grill exceeded all expectations. It does get busy, which isn't surprising considering how good the food is, but it's easy to get to and well worth the wait. A MUST-TRY if you're in the area! We'll definitely be back!
