    Hot Honey Crispy Bird
    Sean F.

    Great history, paired with good service. Plenty of seating and standing area. A great assortment of meals, all filling and well prepared. Serves just about every sandwich/burger imaginable. Great place to visit!

    The Durty Burger

    We stopped here sort of a detour on our way home from Ohio and it was worth a stop because the atmosphere was beautiful. It was in a restored warehouse and the food and waitress was very nice. I got the turkey wrap and upgraded to steak fries. My friend got one of the Durty bird burgers and really liked it. He also upgraded to steak fries. I brought half of my wrap home for leftovers.

    I've always had a soft spot for a good dive bar. There's just something about a place with a little grit, good people, and zero pretense that feels like home. While Ye Olde Durty Bird isn't a true dive, it hits a lot of the notes I love... and then some. The place has character. It's got that old building charm with exposed brick, creaky floors, and a lived-in vibe you can't fake. The staff treats you like a regular even if it's your first time through the door, which matters to me way more than a fancy cocktail list. Now, about the food... I came for the wings because people kept hyping them up, and I get why. They're crispy, messy in the right way, and loaded with flavor. Their burgers are legit too, big enough to require both hands and perfectly cooked. And while I'll usually take a cheap can of beer over anything else, their draft list has enough local and craft options to keep even a beer snob happy. I love spots where you can catch a game, have a drink, chat with whoever's sitting next to you, and leave full and a little buzzed without breaking the bank. Durty Bird nails that vibe. It's not trying to be fancy, it's just good at what it does - and for someone like me who loves a great dive but can appreciate a well-run gastropub, it hits the sweet spot. Definitely the kind of place I'd come back to, belly up to the bar, and make a night out of it.

    Classic Burger

    This was my first time in as I have heard good things about this place in downtown Toledo. Overall, the food here is pretty good and the menu is huge so you will definitely find something that you like. I would say the menu is pretty overwhelming to look at as there are so many things to choose from. you will get a good meal here and the portion sizes are pretty good however a bit pricy in my opinion for what you are getting. The salad was very big however it was almost 20 dollars and I was charged a good amount to add olives/peppers which I was unaware of. I thought the onion rings and brussel sprouts were a small size for the portion of an appetizer and the price and both of them I could have gone without. The mushroom burger was very undercooked, and the service was friendly however did feel a bit rushed to order. The place was cool on the inside and tucked into downtown toledo, I would like to sit on the back patio in the summer during the nice weather. overall, this place is a good spot in toledo however I do not think I will go out of my way to come back. but if you go i recommend the salad!

    I love this place. the food is always tasty, the beer is always cold, and the service very friendly. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. I recommend this place and is my go to spot. You won't go wrong if you're not sure where to try.

    Great place! Right downtown, vibe inside was nice with an old bar kind of feeling. Had outdoor seating which would be nice in the summer. Sat at the bar and ordered a sandwich which was amazing. Service was good from the bartender. Would totally eat here again when in Toledo

    My boyfriend, mom and I stopped here before a concert in the area, thanks to a recommendation from the guy working the car lot. There was a concert and a mudhens game in the area and we arrived before the rush! We sat outside and it was very windy but very hot. We couldn't open the umbrella because the wind was too much. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap while the rest of my party had burgers. Delicious! I especially loved the hot grilled chicken in the wrap. Handhelds are served with potato chips or you can get fries for an upcharge. The burgers were tasty. The portions are quite large. We could have walked away with leftovers if we had a cooler to keep them cold.

    Chicken chunks
    Linda O.

    Close to fifth third field this place is hopping. Plenty of seating inside and a lovely outdoor patio as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The chicken chunks are a healthy alternative but heavy on sauce. I had hot which was good but next time I'd ask for on the side. Would have prefer more celery than 1 stick and 1 carrot. My partner had the Cuban on a hoagie roll . There was the option for wheat or white bread as well. He said it was very good. We also stopped back later to use the " Dora Station" for " to go" drinks. Service there was fast and friendly as well.

    We came here for drinks before dinner and were seated on the outdoor covered patio section. They have a huge food menu, so there's something for everyone! I ordered three Milky Way martini and the vanilla surprise. Both were fantastic! I see this place in my future for lunch!

    French Dip and Fried Brussel Sprouts
    Arby B.

    We stopped by for dinner before a concert at the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater. The place was hopping because there was also a Toledo Mud Hens game. Our service was excellent and the bathrooms are very clean. The food was delicious . We shared the French dip, very tender roast beef, and Brussel sprouts. We also had the French onion soup which I thought was very good! We enjoyed our dinner and plan returning!

    Lamb sliders
    Audrey-Anna C.

    I got the lamb sliders and they were not only perfectly cooked and juicy but they were probably the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. The service was quick and since I went on a Monday afternoon it was quiet and relatively empty. 10/10 definitely coming back next time I'm in Toledo.

    This is simply the best lunch spot downtown (dare I say, maybe even all of Toledo) bar none. No…read morehyperbole. After picking up lunch today, I realized I've never reviewed Adams Street Cafe, and honestly that's a huge miss on my part. I've probably eaten here once a week on average for years. It's so consistently delicious that I think I've underestimated just how important it is to the Toledo restaurant scene. The food is always excellent and clearly made from scratch. Nothing tastes premade or mass-produced. And the house-smoked meats? Absolute game changer. Even something as simple as a smoked turkey sandwich is completely next-level. Pro tip: order the Smoked Turkey Bacon Gouda -- it's unreal. The Bacon and Brie burger is another standout, and the daily specials are always worth checking out as they keep the menu fun and inventive. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you haven't been yet, you owe it to yourself to go try it.

    I first discovered this cute cafe' 12 months ago and gave it 5 stars because the Turkey Reuben…read moresandwich was amazing. Today, I tried something else that I unfortunately didn't love, so I'm rating it 4 stars. Today, I didn't place my to-go order ahead of time and instead walked in and sat at the counter and sipped on a diet pepsi while I waited. I would describe the decor as cozy, rustic farmhouse chic, with lots of pictures of pigs. I had time to take pics while I waited for my order. I stopped in a bit later than the usual lunch rush, so there was literally no one dining in. A couple of people came in to pick up their carryout orders. The server was very friendly and down to earth. I ordered the pepper smoked turkey sandwich based on some reviews that raved about it. Rather than chips or fries, I opted to upgrade to a slaw for $2 more. I couldn't wait to get back to the office and try the food. Before digging in, I took photos because everything looked delicious. The meal was top notch quality. The turkey was thickly sliced with artisan lettuce and a garlic aioli sauce, plus cheddar cheese. The bread was a tasty sour dough. I ordered it without onions because I didn't want onion breath. Despite the high quality ingredients, it somehow wasn't amazing. It was very good but I didn't taste the pepper flavor on the turkey. The slaw was a nice mixture of kale, cabbage and carrots. For my taste, the cream sauce was on the sweet side, whereas my preference is less sweet and more tangy. Nevertheless, the ingredients were very fresh. As I reached the bottom of the bowl, however, there was a lot of runny cream sauce. Again, my personal preference is for less cream; someone else might love it. I know it seems like I am being overly picky, but I should mention that the total cost of my lunch (before tip) was $18.75 (sandwich, slaw and diet pepsi that was a fountain drink with mostly ice). Yes, everything is expensive these days, but I couldn't help being disappointed. I would absolutely return and order the Turkey Reuben in a heartbeat but wouldn't order the pepper turkey sandwich, slaw or soda. I'd also recommend dining in the adorable restaurant rather than eating at an office desk with plastic utensils!

He mentioned their two most popular brunch drinks were the Espresso Martini & Benton's Old Fashioned. We ordered both and WOW! Such a balanced cocktail, nice presentation, and great flavors. Their dinner menu was currently inspired by well known novels which previewing the menu had me wanting to come back. Such a fun spot with unique offerings you won't find at other spots in Toledo.

This place is so cool and comfortable. The couches are great, the plants are fantastic; even the music, cool jazz, usually, is great. The local art on the walls is perfect for this type of place. The service is friendly, fast, and accurate. The only downside, IMO, is that Earth doesn't accept cash. Not a big deal, 'cuz I got credit, baby!! I haven't eaten their food, yet, but I can't imagine the food at a coffeehouse could taint my opinion of the place. Oh, by the way, the coffee is excellent.
