While visiting Buckeye Lake, I learned that Weldon's Ice Cream Factory is the place to visit. It's…read morean institution, and it has been around since 1930! I'm not a big ice cream person, but I do love sweets, especially a sweets shop with history. I ordered a banana split. Though, it was difficult to decide what to order! This place has a peaceful vibe, but the signage is a little chaotic -- it's like walking up to a Dr. Bronner's bottle. I had to stand there for a bit and read everything while the poor girl behind the counter waited for me to get my bearings. (Luckily I was the only one in the shop at the time.) There are different colored signs everywhere, listing daily specials, new items, and things you can buy that aren't ice cream, like bags of ice and local honey. The banana split was delicious: A perfectly ripe banana split between two scoops of ice cream -- I chose vanilla and chocolate. It's topped with whipped cream, crushed nuts, and a cherry on top. It's one of those desserts where you lose track of time when you eat it, or at least I did. All of my concentration went toward eating that magnificent ice cream concoction as quickly as possible. I decided to shovel it into my face on the big porch, which overlooks the Buckeye Lake canal. There is also seating indoors, too. Weldon's is a must-visit if you're in the Buckeye Lake area!

Super creamy ice creams with lots of flavor options Friendly service Cons: 6 dollars a scoop The caramel flavor didn't taste anything like caramel. If I closed my eyes I would have guessed it was vanilla. I'll try another flavor the next time. Pro tip: If you are visiting Buckeye Lake, it's worth a visit for the novelty.

We wanted to give this coffee shop a try so we ordered hot drinks. I ordered a cappuccino with…read moresugar free hazelnut syrup. It was very good! My husband ordered his coffee with cream. We did not try any of the pastries but they looked good through the window. The service was pretty quick because only one "babe" was working the drive thru window and the walk up counter. All orders are to go unless you sit outside. I hope this business makes it through the winter months as the tourist season is over for Buckeye Lake when the water is let down for the winter. I would definitely come again!

There is a small bit of inside seating and several tables outside, where we sat with our trusty canine. The service is super friendly, accommodating and quick. The staff is engaging and welcoming. There is a drive thru if you are in a hurry. Dockside Donuts will be a regular stop on my trips through Ohio! Hands down 5 stars!

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.

Our server was nice, my Cobb salad was tasty- once again scant on the chicken but otherwise good. Not a total strike out but close.

Don't you just love stumbling upon hidden gems? Hereinafter is a magical place that I found while…read moredriving around Millersport. It's located in what feels like the middle of nowhere near Buckeye Lake. It's almost like I summoned it from my imagination, because I saw it on the side of the road right around the end of the day when I just needed some place to get a drink and a dessert. I sat at the bar, and the owner, Ben, served me himself! They have a full bar with lots of creative cocktail options, but I opted for wine. Ben happens to have a deep love of wine, and he gave me a couple of sample tastes of some of the special ones he had at the bar. We talked wine for a bit (he personally sources the wine he offers at Hereinafter from all over the world). It was such a nice visit -- just chatting about wine while drinking wine -- and definitely made my night. I like my wine dry, but I like my desserts sweet, so I got the warm peach cobbler. It was served bubbling hot in a little cast iron skillet, topped with a dollop of sweet cream. It was delicious, and it felt ultra decadent to eat while drinking wine. The atmosphere at Hereinafter is classy and cool and modern with a nod to mid-century decor (there's a plastic pink flamingo at the entrance). If you don't want to sit at the bar like I did, there are also booths and tables, so lots of places to sit and enjoy a drink and a meal with friends.
