    The special pizza. Susan's Zah. A unique and flavorful pizza experience.
    Keith B.

    Clay's is... that local place. Kids work here. (They're kids to me, dammit). It reminds of the "first job" a lot of people get. The food isn't fine dining, but it's *good food.* They have ice cream. They make pizza (and while the crust is okay, the pizzas as a whole are pretty awesome). I've gotten ice cream, pizza, random sandwiches l, BLT, etc etc. it's... simple. Classic. Timeless even. It's not five-star dining and it doesn't need to be. It's just simple, good, food.

    Taco salad, cheese quesadilla, and shredded chicken sandwich
    Kayti M.

    We chose this spot because it was on the way to our campsite for the night. We travel often and like to find the local spots when we get a little peckish. I saw this spot on Google Maps with all the reviews and was like, "Well okay! Let's do it!". Turns out, it's an adorable little cafe/diner with a long history and excellent selections and staff! It's a bit unassuming when you see the sign from the roadway. I was a little thrown off, but the cafe is in the parking lot to the back (so says the sign!). There's plenty of parking, and in the time it took me to get parked and changed into something more restaurant-friendly (driving long hours), several people had pulled up and left with pick up orders! Which boded well! Upon entry, the decor is a little stark with it's bright eye-devouring grandmother's kitchen yellow but the walls to the right (in the direction of the bathroom) are covered with stories and notes and wonderful photos of the journey the restaurant had taken. Fun reads. Good info. Otherwise, the front counter is super bare, making it feel like a long forgotten crossroad diner somewhere in the desert, but once you turn the corner it opens up into a pretty large open floor plan with red and white decor reminiscent of the Coke bottle fad someone's grandmother obsessed over. We were seated by a server who looked to be in high school and I only remark on this because throughout our stay it started to make more sense. Put a pin in that. We ordered the cheese sticks to start and they were the kind of cheese stick without the panko breading -- served with "pizza sauce". Not the best cheese sticks I've ever had, but it didn't really matter because it was cheese and I had a need. We got the shredded chicken sandwich with fries, a taco salad, and the three-cheese quesadilla. All of it was exactly what you would expect out of a concession stand-like kind of situation of food/traditional diner fare, but I ain't subtracting stars for that because we knew what we were getting into. They did that level of food and did it very well. The lettuce in my taco salad was crisp and not wilty and weird. The shredded chicken threw us off a little on taste over time, but hey, it's shredded chicken. Essentially -- the food is actually better than you would expect it to be for a neighborhood cafe, and that's good enough for me. We found after exploring the town a bit more that the high school student theme rang true throughout the town, which, pulling the pin out, made this diner even more adorable and homey and sweet. The small town idea seems to be living true here and this diner is a great way to get your bearings when traveling through or just grab a quick and easy meal.

    TRY THE STROMBOLI! You must try it! It is one of my favorite Stromboli's and a reason we often go to clays. It is the best and you will not be disappointed. I love clays and would recommend it to anyone! They also have ice cream and the best carrot cake.

    Customer service is great. They always try their best to be very fast. Food is very great.

    Like they say, the Stromboli is the thing to get. It's really good and not too much overload on the bread - just right.

It's located in what feels like the middle of nowhere near Buckeye Lake. It's almost like I summoned it from my imagination, because I saw it on the side of the road right around the end of the day when I just needed some place to get a drink and a dessert. I sat at the bar, and the owner, Ben, served me himself! They have a full bar with lots of creative cocktail options, but I opted for wine. Ben happens to have a deep love of wine, and he gave me a couple of sample tastes of some of the special ones he had at the bar. We talked wine for a bit (he personally sources the wine he offers at Hereinafter from all over the world). It was such a nice visit -- just chatting about wine while drinking wine -- and definitely made my night. I like my wine dry, but I like my desserts sweet, so I got the warm peach cobbler. It was served bubbling hot in a little cast iron skillet, topped with a dollop of sweet cream. It was delicious, and it felt ultra decadent to eat while drinking wine. The atmosphere at Hereinafter is classy and cool and modern with a nod to mid-century decor (there's a plastic pink flamingo at the entrance). If you don't want to sit at the bar like I did, there are also booths and tables, so lots of places to sit and enjoy a drink and a meal with friends.

    Sorry people, but since reopening, your food has sucked. I've been three times, and ALL the meals…read morewe've had were awful. I don't know who is advising you on your new business model, but changing your menu was the worst thing you did. You had a good menu, you just needed to be consistent with preparing it. And the prices were a bit high for Buckeye Lake. I don't mind paying for good food, but when the quality went down, that's when we stopped coming back. You were offering specials from time to time, which were good!! And the live music was awesome. You also got rid of the best person working there. Nate the bartender. You people just don't know a good thing when you've got it. But, at our last visit, I see you saw the error of your ways. Sorry, I really hate to leave this kind of review, but you need to know. You took a nice "upper scale" restaurant and ruined it with that awful food. It's not the actual offerings, it's the quality of the food. Kinda reminds me of the food you get at a stand in an amusement park. My family owned a restaurant for many years, so this review isn't from just one unhappy customer.
