    Five ounces (sampler) of Amphibian pale ale.  Very smooth...worth doing.
    Mike P.

    Although the microbrewery scene in Toledo is seriously booming (hallelujah!), Black Frog Brewery is probably my favorite. Here's why: 1. Great beer: Chris, the owner and brewmaster, crafts many styles of beer, and I've never had a beer, created by Chris, that I didn't like. Additionally, he never stops experimenting...there's always something new on tap. 2. Atmosphere. This is very much a laid back neighborhood hangout. Even when it's busy, it seems laid back. The music ranges from Rick James, to AC/DC, to whaddevah! Beware the Dark Lord of the Sith...he's always present. Which Darth? Foolish question...there's only ever been one who matters. 3. Value: The prices are low for what you get. 4. Food: Right across the parking lot, you'll find Mike's Pizza and More. 5. Beer to go: This comes in the form of cans and growlers. 6: Location: Not far from my house. Shit! Time's wastin'! Let's go now!

    6th anniversary party! Love the Jawa juice coffee stout with salted caramel. Stop on by.

    This is how amazing his beer is, 7:30 Friday night and he's out of almost everything.

    Met Chris at a churchills beer tasting. All of his beers were very good. Not trying to be over the top just trying and being very solid beers (his porter is insane) we were very excited to hear he was opening a taproom. Nothing better than walking in and being served by the person who made the beer. Chris truly knows the art of making a damn fine beer, just doesn't know he could charge more for it. It's located in a strip mall, off to the side but it tastes like a front and center beer. Walk in one night and grab a flight I promise you will not be disappointed and will be back for more

    Got to the Black Frog late and my favorite beer (FLYING FROG) was all tapped out. Need to plan another trip soon to fill my howler!!

    Met Chris through a friend at the Glass City Beer Festival. Now that he has the tap room, I try to get there as much as possible. The Flying Frog America IPA make my heart swoon. Now that they have howlers to fill, I can't get enough. Pick up your food on the way or have it delivered. Chris and his wife have the best beer but they don't serve food yet. Too busy making the best beers in Toledo.

    Best craft beer in the state of Ohio. One of the most friendliest places you will ever visit. Both proprietor and customers alike.

    I'm extremely disappointed with our experience at Firepit Grille. My mother and I had reservations…read morefor two at 3:00 PM for Easter brunch and specifically requested a booth. Upon arrival, the already small lobby was completely overcrowded, to the point where there was barely room to move. It honestly felt like a fire hazard with people constantly trying to squeeze in and out. The only update we received from the hostess, Victoria, was that they were "backed up," delivered with a noticeably rude and dismissive attitude. There was no organization, no guidance, and no effort to manage the situation or accommodate guests. To make matters worse, there was nowhere to wait except outside. When we asked if we would receive a text when our booth was ready, Victoria responded sarcastically, saying, "You think I can text all these numbers on this list? There's no way to do that." That level of unprofessionalism was completely unacceptable. After waiting 20 minutes past our reservation time with no clear communication or plan, we decided to leave. The lack of organization, poor communication, and rude service made for a very off-putting experience--especially on a holiday. Unfortunately, this experience has made us very hesitant to return.

    Firepit Grille is located off of busy Airport Highway and situated high and further back from the…read morebusy street. If you're not looking for it, you could easily drive past it. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by friendly wait staff and shown to our reserved table. The ambiance is upscale with dim lighting. We were there for a book club luncheon and the restaurant wasn't busy or noisy, which was perfect for us. The menu offered a nice variety of options. While the restaurant is known for barbecue and pizza, most of us ordered sandwiches and salads. Our server seemed to be very new, but was polite and pleasant. She was on top of drink refills, which was good because Coke and Iced Tea were $3.00. Funny thing but someone in our party ordered a gin and tonic and that also was $3.00. Our food orders were slow to come out and our server couldn't keep track of who ordered what, which wasn't a big deal since we were a group of approximately ten. Not all orders came out at once, so some were eating and some were waiting. I ordered a veggie burger with cheese and a side of ranch. When the plate came out, there was no cheese or ranch dressing. Our server took my plate back to the kitchen and I also requested a slice of tomato. I found the veggie burger very bland but edible. The fries were plentiful but I only ate a couple. Nobody raved about the food but I didn't hear any complaints either. A lot of our group took home leftovers. When the checks came, we learned that 22% gratuity had been added to each check because we were a large table. I also learned that the cheese for my veggie burger had an upcharge of .99 for the cheese and.50 for the ranch dressing. We enjoyed our discussion and socializing in a nice ambiance. I was underwhelmed by my meal, so wouldn't run back anytime soon. If I were to dine here again, I'd probably try the pizza. A photo of my veggie burger is posted below.

They had several TVs with sports balls on and a table with assorted games to be played. Great rainy day bar.

It's in a shopping Center Plaza kind of off of the main road. I have been before but just for a beer. We sat at the bar area and the bartender was really nice. Sorry I didn't get her name. You can tell there's a lot of regulars that come here but we were treated just the same. They have about 10 taps and had a few ipas on there for me. What I really like is the prices. An IPA for $5? Can't hardly find that anymore. So we had two rounds of beer each and got two appetizers. I spinach dip and some pepperoni egg rolls. Both were actually really good. Spinach dip could use some more seasoning but that just seems to be the case almost everywhere anymore. Food came out fast and was delivered hot. Beer was Ice cold. It's kind of a small spot so you're either going to sit at the bar or at one of the few tables that are around the bar area. Lots of TVs around the bar. $31 for both of us. I do recommend.
