When I heard about Lucky Spice "N" Rice opening in Van Wert, I was immediately interested. Any…read morerestaurant that deviates from the Pizza, Burger, Mexican food triangle this town only focuses on is a good thing. Life is to be savored after all, and the more flavors the better! A place where you can have Indian food is great! It also does have more American food in the menu, for those who do not or have family who want to stick with what they know. My family has eaten a few times from here, taking carry out each time. Ordering is convenient as they both have a website and you can call in. The food is absolutely delicious! My family has eaten the following items: 1) Chicken Tika-Masala: Savory and spicy dish... has the right amount of kick to it: We love it! 2) Chicken Pakora: my personal favorite dish, its an appetizer. It is so good! It's salty, it's crunchy! Yum! 4) Butter Chicken: Families favorite dish. The delicious taste will melt you like butter under a. hot sun. 5) the rice and naan bread are very good. 6) Gulab Jamun. This dessert has just the right amount of sweet components! We should have bought more but will the next time! I could go on, this place is great! And we are very lucky to have this place open up! Highly recommend if you live in Van Wert! Cmon, try something new!

This restaurant brings new flavors to Van Wert's food scene and is absolutely incredible…read more My wife and I took our extended family for a pre-Christmas treat. We had a range of appetizers from samosas to padpi chaat. All we tried were delicious. Our entrees ranged from Tikka Masala to Biryani to Curries, the Biryani and Curries came with a choice of meat- adding Garlic Naan bread made the perfect meal. Don't be afraid of the spice - the medium was easy. I'll step it up to spicy next time - but not 'Indian Spicy'. The food is all homemade by the owners and incredible. The service is also from family and impeccable. Anything that we were unfamiliar were clearly explained For anyone who is looking for a change from Van Wert' standard Mexican/Chinese/Beer Barrel options, I highly recommend Lucky's Hot Spice and Rice.

I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

We waited for 45 min, our food wasn't coming. Usually salad comes first before the meal. We waited. Nothing! Finally the young guy comes over; says he got distracted and forgot to put our order in. He kept walking past us to serve other customers. How did he not see us? He told us he is going to submit our order now. To wait another 40 minutes for our food? Heck no! We got up and walked out. A lady was there that's asked us how we're doing but she seemed to be a front lady so we didn't ask her any questions. This place is a joke. The place wasn't busy, busy. That young guy seems lazy too. He was snapping at the front lady too. He's telling her I don't need anymore people, seat them elsewhere. Saying that, in front of people coming in. What manager is gonna allow someone like that; to serve people. That's if he is going to serve them. Horrible service!! Go elsewhere. I'm sure other restaurants would treat their customers with respect. The one star is for the front lady.

Pro tip: stand at the far right cash register and stare wistfully at the chalkboard menu for Rager's. DO NOT get in the Hot Heads line. Check out my photo. Recommend ordering it with those exact toppings. I couldn't even slow down to take a picture before I was four bites in. The sear on that patty off a "busy" grill (I prefer to say dirty, but people get crazed over that adjective I use in a living way) is AMAZING. I also had to endure a manager belittling employees in front of a full line of customers, while I waited patiently for my sandwich. But that battle can be saved for another day. Maybe she will be the one to read this review and tell me she was having a REALLY bad day. Maybe her employer will read this and remedy the situation. Maybe I will know the results when I walk back in soon for another sausage sandwich. It's a crazy world who knows what could happen!
