Well one time the late great Maritime Mel said to my brother come on tommy let's get a drink, and walks onboard. MEL! U can't just go on somebody's boat.... ITS A BAR. Christmas lights were up. The Capt was onboard from the laker. This changes everything, a floating bar for the lakers!!!! This was back in the day early 90's. Well. It was on. Sonny II aka the bum boat, used yo shuttle supplies to the lakers all along the harbor. And was a bar for the mens & ladies while alongside. A great seafaring tradition. Sonny B the sister ship is the water taxi up at PIB. Well for many years now at Ashtabula harbor the bum boat is tied up & open to the public fully licensed sit down bar. The owners are really nice. Live music, have a drink. Fairly large menu board too. I didn't know they had food tbh. It was great chili dog. As good & very similar to skyline. If u love shipping, history, music & dranks, and who doesn't in Ashtabula harbor, get ur arse down to the bum boat & have a blast. It's so unique u will never drink in another place like it. circa 1930. BEAUTIFUL NEW SIGN check it out. 5 star dive bar!!

This place has a lot of character! The wallpaper made me smile:). We ordered the calamari and pierogi appetizers and they were both very good. I ordered the Turkey sandwich and my husband had the steak sandwich. I enjoyed my Turkey sandwich and the fries were very good. My husband wound up eating half of my sandwich because the steak sandwich just was not good. There were spices on it that my husband and I just did not like, and the bread was hard to chew. Everything else was very good, so this sandwich was disappointing. Our server was friendly and took care of us despite the busyness of the festival. I'm glad we stopped here and if we're ever back in Ashtabula, we will try it again, but won't get the steak sandwich.

The orders took about forty minutes to be served but both entrees were delicious and prepared as ordered, clearly the best meal we have had in some time. My wife ordered thin onion rings as a side which were the best of the sides we tried. Our waitress also suggested we try several other restaurants within the bridge area.

Can you say "perfect eggs"? Holy smoke... I've had perfect eggs. I don't know what kind of sorcery…read morethis is- but I am in shock, and heaven. I do eggs over easy- and when you do this- you may get runny, or overcooked or a myriad of different hmmmmm moments. I ordered a basic breakfast, just eggs, bacon and toast. I had 4 pieces of scrumptious bacon, and the sweet server brought me a little side of sausage gravy- also to die for! Reasonably priced and there are many regulars here since many people were greeted as old friends. The building is off a main drag in Ashtabula, so hidden- and clearly--- these folks are here for food and family! I'm just here to find a perfect breakfast spot- and boy oh boy, did I ever! The only thing I'm missing is a small cot or couch to sleep in after having that awesome gravy- I'm sort of in a gravy coma right now- lol! If you're a little breakfast foodie you're in for a HUGE treat! The atmosphere is bustling and friendly, but not over the top trendy, like having a picnic with friends. You're here for this absolutely over the top food!!! I just hope the regulars don't run me out of here because I mentioned their little hidden Ashtabula gem... A must not miss. 10 stars for nothing less than EPIC food and stellar, quick, friendly service! Good news I won't forget the name!!
