This is a local bakery that I found out about because someone knows I like bakeries and heard about…read moreit from word of mouth. There is no website and no telephone. I suspect it is cash only because it is operated out of an Amish residence. The goodies are appropriately labeled "home produced". They are only open Friday and Saturday until 5. When do they open? Who knows. Maybe 9 is a safe time. My friend arrived around 11. My friend got us a package of 4 maple cinnamon buns for $4 and a small apple pie for $3.50. The cinnamon rolls were light and fluffy to eat even though the package was heavy. Hubby and I split a roll but we arent big eaters. Store bought ones are denser. I liked these better. The apple pie, well you are now up against my mom who was Hungarian. My family had apple trees with several kinds of pie apples. No one ever could make a better apple pie than mom although Costco, with its crunchy apples, comes the closest. Still not everyone likes crunchy apples and this pie was nicely presented....just not Mom's. So many are looking for a good amish bakery and amish goodies. It is hard to find these places when you rely on word of mouth. I heard they have good doughnuts and lemon bars but again there is no website or phone. So bring cash and be flexible. And and only open Friday and Saturday!

I brought Crumbl Cookies to my buddy's family reunion, and let me tell you, they were the real star…read moreof the show. These cookies are so large, decadent, and delicious, they might as well have had their own seat at the table. We got all the varieties because, well, if you're not going big, are you even trying? The family went absolutely wild for them, but the German chocolate cookies? Those were the runaway hit. I'm pretty sure my buddy's aunt is now planning her next family gathering around them, and his cousin asked if he could "borrow" the recipe (as if Crumbl would ever let that secret out!). These cookies were so good that they temporarily distracted the family from even discussing politics or who owes who money. Seriously, Crumbl saved the reunion! Big, rich, and packed with enough sweetness to create a collective sugar coma--we loved every second of it.

We were doing a getaway weekend, and on a rainy Saturday decided to see what Galion was all about…read more First thing that caught our eye was this bakery, so we had to go in. They had several varieties of cupcakes for purchase, several types of sugar cookies, and gelato. A few sugar cookies to go and we were happy campers. Their "order pick up" shelves were quite full, so special orders must be popular, but we were happy with our cookies. They were a great vanilla sugar cookie, and thick cut too. Would definitely stop back!

Cute cafe with so many sweet options it's overwhelming (in a good way)! The service was a bit slow…read moreas there was only 1 staff and they were training 2 people at the same time (not complaining, they were very friendly and helpful but 2 people in front of me left.) there was a big line of flavored syrups on the wall and I was excited but a little disappointed to learn they only offered 3 sugar free kinds (vanilla, caramel and lavender). Ice latte was good but omg the pistachio mascarpone croissant and gluten free chocolate cake...I didn't taste much pistachio but the mascarpone cream filling was so so tasty and croissant was nice and light and fluffy. Chocolate cake was decadent but not too heavy or sweet. It was amazing! They offer so many sweets and gelato, I will have to visit them again to try different things!

They have simple sundaes to sundaes that are so over the top, it takes a family to eat them. They also serve a famous taco salad that seems to be a huge hit. Their cones are way bigger than those at any other ice cream place in or around town. We visit there at least 2-3 times a week. The service is fabulous. It does take a long time to get waited on. Sometimes you just have to wait fr the best and cheapest things in life.

Home of the Famous Bologna Sandwich…read more That's the bold claim G & R Tavern has been making in Waldo, Ohio for more than 60 years, and judging by the line waiting outside when we arrived shortly after noon, plenty of people believe it. Located in a village of about 300 residents, G & R Tavern has become one of Ohio's most popular destination restaurants. Visitors come from all over the state to try the sandwich that put this small-town tavern on the map. Founded in 1962 by George Yake and Roy Klingel, G & R Tavern has become a true Ohio institution. In 1985, Rick's family purchased the restaurant and has continued the tradition ever since. During our visit, I had the opportunity to speak with Rick and learn that the next generation is already preparing to carry on the family tradition. In a time when many independent restaurants struggle to survive from one generation to the next, that's something worth celebrating. The atmosphere is exactly what longtime fans have come to love. Wood-paneled walls, a bustling dining room, homemade pies in the dessert case, and an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare today. Even the cash-only policy somehow feels right at home here. As for the famous sandwich, it continues to live up to its reputation. This Ohio classic features a thick-cut slice of fried bologna topped with melted American cheese, sweet pickles, and onion on a soft bun. It's simple, flavorful, and easy to understand why people continue making the trip to Waldo year after year. Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my wife, who ordered the fried bologna sandwich as well. That's not something she would normally choose, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. The fries were hot and crispy and made a great companion to the meal. Some places become popular for a season. Places like G & R Tavern become part of Ohio's history.

The food was OK. I had the bologna sandwich and it was everything a fried bologna sandwich should…read morebe. Ordered fried pickles à la carte as there are no side dishes with entries. They were OK also. Where my visit suffered was in the customer service space. I was off put initially how the greeter man was adamant about standing outside while they wait for a cleared table. Then we got seated and it took 25 minutes for anyone to ask "have you been helped yet?" From that point on chasing down serve staff became the name of the game. Since I stopped on my way back from Hocking Hills to Toledo, I was really looking forward to this experience. Ended up being pretty disappointed. If it matters, it did appear that they serviced their local regular customers with an abundance of warmth & haste. Looked like they had a great experience.

Where's Waldo? In Marion County. They also have a good old ice cream place. Also lots of greasy…read morefood. Just in case there's anyone who needs to actually eat something. Ice cream is the main attraction. It has many of the usual flavors. There's also a few more interesting ones. If you don't want ice cream, there's other things on the menu. They have several flavors of slushies. It's $2 for a medium. You can pay a little extra to get Nerds candy in these. It's kind of like Sonic, but much better. The food menu has the weird carnival stuff like fried Oreos. This is an old school favorite. It just closes up early. They could stay open and do more business but it probably dies off hard when school starts.
