    Good breakfast spot. Simple items that were all pretty decent. Nothing fancy. Super reasonable/cheap prices. Fast service. Great coffee.

    Yummy egg, cheese, and ham breakfast sandwich with grilled onions

    They've reopened and are better than ever! A lovely remodel after a car crash had damaged the side of the business.

    Great place to eat. Service is fabulous and food is too. Id recommend this diner if you want delicious food and a great value!

    Food was delish and service was stellar. You should definitely stop by and give this place a try.

    Fluffy blueberry pancakes

    Went here twice while visiting my mother. Place was small but service was terrific and the coffee was fantastic! Prices were very reasonable. Food was pretty good. Had the blueberry pancakes one day, very good.. very fluffy. Had biscuits and gravy the other day.. would not recommend. Again, the coffee is fantastic.. the grind their own beans.. and I am Particular about my coffee. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Cozy place to have breakfast. The design is rustic which is usually typical of the countryside. Friendly staff, great food. I still thinking about the mashed potatoes. Still can't figure how something simple as that could be sooo good.

    1/2 order of biscuits and gravy

    Very friendly staff. Great food, love the family atmosphere. We had a young man , Trace, help our waitress. He was so friendly and got our drink orders correctly and quickly. I would highly recommend this local business. #supportsmallbusinesses

    Support local very good food and coffee with a ice cream shop. I'm a local who comes here 4 times a week for years.I order bacon,eggs,wheat toast,and home fries with coffee...Its comes to about 7 bucks for a huge portion of food.Just give these local people patronage over the chain restaurants

    Loved this cute, little diner!

    We were headed home after a few days at Cedar Point and wanted to get breakfast before hitting the road. We found the Better Half Diner on Yelp and decided it sounded good. There is only street parking but we easily found a nearby spot big enough for our truck and RV trailer. A previous review mentions that the place is very small and we were concerned that we might have a wait, but we needn't have worried. We arrived at 10:30 on a Friday morning and 3 of the 7 tables were open. The waitress invited us to choose a seat. She got our coffee and water immediately and took our orders - Philly cheese steak omelet for hubby and ham and swiss omelet for me. Both were delicious and accompanied by potatoes and toast. This is the kind of diner breakfast that I love. Comfortable atmosphere, cheerful waitress, and delicious food. Perfection!

    Do not care for the salty Reuben and subpar Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Perhaps I will give their breakfast menus a try at a later date.

What sets this winery apart is its location--it's one of the few places in the area where you can sip wine while enjoying close proximity to the water. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the outdoor seating offered beautiful views that made our tasting even more enjoyable. Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a seasoned connoisseur, the setting alone is worth the visit. We had the opportunity to sample a wide variety of wines during our visit, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The tasting was well-organized, and the staff were both knowledgeable and friendly, making great recommendations based on our preferences. We were particularly impressed with the Pinot Grigio, which had a crisp, refreshing taste perfect for a warm afternoon by the water. However, it was the Cabernet that truly stood out for us. It had a rich, full-bodied flavor with just the right amount of complexity--a balance of boldness and smoothness that left us both savoring each sip. The Cabernet was so exceptional that we knew we couldn't leave without bringing some home. We ended up purchasing two bottles, and I have no doubt that we'll be reminiscing about our time at the winery as we enjoy them in the future. It's not often you come across a red that makes such a lasting impression, but this one definitely did. If you're in the Port Clinton area, I highly recommend visiting this winery. It offers more than just great wines--it provides an experience. Between the friendly staff, the well-curated wine selection, and the beautiful location near the water, it's a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some truly memorable wines. We'll definitely be returning!

We arrived around 1:30 PM and were pleasantly surprised that our room was already ready -- such a relief after traveling, especially with kids. However, the new luggage carts are definitely a downgrade. They barely hold anything, and if you have more than just a couple of bags, it turns into a hassle. Really hoping they switch back to the old style. The waterpark itself is always a blast, but I do wish the hours were longer. Closing at 8 PM on weeknights feels early when you're on vacation and trying to fit everything in. Same for the sweet treat shop -- we felt rushed trying to get from the waterpark to the room, get dressed, and then make it down to the arcade and grab treats all within about 45 minutes. We chose the Stay & Play package mainly for the arcade credit ($100 each night), but we didn't realize that when you use the package credits, the games don't give you tickets. That was disappointing, especially with kids who love winning prizes. On the positive side, the kids absolutely loved the Build-a-Bear experience. It was pricey at about $100 for two bears, but it is vacation, and they had so much fun that it was worth it. I also really liked the new charging wristbands -- super convenient and nice not having to carry a card around all day. As for comfort, the waterpark air could've been warmer. I remember it feeling much more comfortable in past visits, but this time I felt cold almost the whole time. The hallways were especially chilly. Food-wise, the Pizza Pub was fantastic. We had it delivered right to our room, and both the pizza and the chicken chunks were delicious -- honestly one of our favorite meals of the trip. Overall, even with a few hiccups, we had a fun stay and would visit again. Kalahari still delivers a great family getaway, just with a few things I hope they adjust back to how they used to be.

We contacted resort staff three separate times with serious concerns during our stay and saw no action taken--only empty apologies. That lack of response was extremely frustrating and made it feel like guest experience was not a priority. Going back to the room for a break didn't help. Our room faced a solid wall, did not have a fireplace as advertised, and we dealt with constant loud door slamming and wall pounding from nearby cleaning staff. It was not relaxing and made it difficult to rest. The conditions in the waterpark were also unacceptable. The lines for the water slides smelled strongly of urine, as if people were urinating while standing in line, which was extremely unpleasant and unhygienic. The wave pool was especially concerning. Chunks of concrete were breaking off the bottom of the pool, and I cut my foot on one of these pieces, about the size of a penny. There was concrete grit throughout the water, which was very unsafe - I gave chunks to the staff to emphasize my concerns. On top of all of this, everything was freezing cold. The wave pool water was freezing, the slide water was freezing, and the hot tubs were not hot at all despite hour-long wait lines with 40+ people. Even the indoor temperature felt cold. For the cost of this stay, none of this was acceptable. Overall, this experience was not worth what we paid and fell far below expectations.

We arrived at ABE around 1:15 pm, finding the restaurant fairly empty with only one other table being served. Despite this, we waited over 10 minutes to be greeted & seated.
