a hand holding a piece of food

My husband and I ate there on 6/17/23, we ordered the 3 piece fish dinner. It was not good at all. The fish was so thin it was almost non-existence and the breading was very hard and crusty. I finally got the server's attention and showed her what we got, she said she would talk to the manager. We waited over 20 min. and no one came, I finally got up and went to a person who was wrapping silverware and asked her if she could help us, she said someone would be with us soon. Another 5 min. went by and a person came out and handed us a plate with the same 3 scrimpy plate of fish as the first. They forgot our salad and when it was brought out it had the wrong dressing even after stating a second time the dressing I wanted. The waitress never came back at all to see if we had any needs or how the food was, I see why! I have gotten bad food and service here before but thought I would try again. We will not be back!!

The prices here are quite good, but if you order the unique food (alligator, buffalo sirloin, etc) it will be more than just a burger. A meal can cost you $5 or $25 depending on what you order. The food tastes great and the portions are fairly large. They even have a buffalo (bison) statue outside and a stuffed buffalo (bison) inside.

We had all you can eat walleye. Food was great, service was a little slow but the food made up for it.

The food and service was very good this evening and it appears the support of the customers is helping.

Fried chicken was over done. Mashed potatoes were a clump. My step dad had prime rib that he said was good.

Coleslaw was delicious, fries were crisp and tasty, but the Walleye was the star of the plate.

Not too crazy on a Wednesday night. Was able to get seated right away. Didn't take long for the…read moreweight staff to pop by and answer questions, give us some samples. In my last review of this place, I was wildly unhappy with the engineering of the restrooms because of its implications for child safety. They have gone to very strong lengths to substantially, engage and resolve all of my issues. I would not be afraid at all that if my kids went into the bathroom, some stranger would have access to them that they shouldn't. This is a fun little place with some great background music. It's like a brew pub meets a diner with lots of table tables. The staff is friendly and engaging. If you're gonna eat here, the pork sandwich is pretty good. My sweetie liked her cheesesteak. Also, they had a pretty yummy stout on tap as well - something fluffy stay puff. My buddy Nick really enjoyed the Irish red. Says it's very yummy.

Don't go. This place is a rip off. I just paid $20 for nachos with a little bit of pork on top…read more Now, the purchase is on me. I misread the menu's prices. Gotta own that, but holy heck, $20.00 for a plate of chips with some sauce and veggies. And when the nachos first came out, had to send them back. Barely any queso on top and the "queso" and pork were cold. That was after waiting 25 minutes for them. When they came back out, they were warmer, but the nachos were gross. Almost no flavor. The pork tasted boiled and had no seasoning. Tried to eat the nachos but couldn't. Left almost a whole plate load. The one beer I had was good, but the price tag for two beers and late/cold/bland nachos that I couldn't eat came out to $42.60 after a tip. No thanks.

We stopped here on our way to Kentucky and we are so glad we did! There was a wait of maybe 15…read moreminutes as the place was hopping on a Friday night, and I can see why. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and our waitress was great and recommended the spinach dip. We split the dip and the Drunken Swine flatbread and they both were very good. We are already planning to stop here on the way back and maybe try the pickle pizza and the bison burger. We thought about getting the peanut butter pie for dessert but were too full, next time for sure! The ambiance is very cozy too with a mix of historic and modern feel. This place put Wapakoneta on the map for me, and I will be back to explore more!

Today the plant manager was kind enough to take me to lunch.This is the restaurant she chose and I was not disappointed. We were immediately greeted at the door and were told to choose our own seats.The waitress was very friendly and was prompt with taking our drink orders. I wish I was not on the clock because their bar seemed to have a good selection of different alcohols with some I have never saw. They even had a few decanters on the shelf I wish I would have asked about. I asked for a Dr. Pepper but the waitress let me know they have a soda like it but not the actual brand. I also regret not asking the brand of the soda because it was actually more flavorful than Dr. Pepper. I ordered the bison burger and red potatoes and my boss ordered a pizza.Our food came out pretty quickly and looked great.I did not try the pizza but it looked cooked perfectly with a nice crisp on the crust, next time I will try the pizza for sure it reminded me of my times in Italy.The red potatoes were cooked nicely and seasoned tastefully. The bison burger came with pickles, a green relish type mixture, and a dab of what I believe was a blue cheese.All though the meat could of used some more seasoning, the relish was more like a sweet jam spread and paired perfectly with the bison.Greatly enjoyed my lunch and without a doubt will be returning soon.
