It's hard for me to put into words that which we locals like to call "The Goat." This spot has been…read morearound for a good while now and I'm pretty sure I've been visiting since the very beginning. It's definitely a "cheers" type of spot. Everyone there knows your name... even if you don't know theirs! They have made a lot of changes since back in the day and every time I visit I feel like there's been more updates to the space. I really enjoy playing games upstairs and chilling on the patio (both additions over the years) It's about the only bar in town where you can enjoy live music on the patio and a really good time. Drinks are cheap as can be, the lineup music wise changes regularly and continues to bring to good talent to town, and there's plenty of parking across the street. Just please, please, please use the crosswalk. Halloween is always a good time too! While I'm well passed my days of evening nights at The Goat, I still like to visit from time to time with friends and I know I'll be back sooner or later.

I'm sad to say that my experience here mimicked the experience of the Yelpers that came before me…read more My boyfriend and I came by for a quick bite to eat while our friends were across the street at another bar. It was the only place open and serving food within walking distance, so we gave it a go. We arrived to find a pretty empty bar. There were a handful of other patrons on the opposite side of the bar, but other than that, it was just the staff and a bunch of televisions playing golf on a Saturday night around 9PM. So entertaining... do I need to explain my sarcasm? The staff took their sweet time serving me. After several looks and attempted waves, I finally said, "Hello! Can someone take my order?!" One of the 2 bartenders finally moseyed her way over. We both got a drink and ordered some mozzarella sticks and some fried mac and cheese bites. The menu consisted of a bunch of random fried bar foods and fried cheese is always a winner. The mozzarella sticks were typical and came with a marinara sauce. The fried mac and cheese bites were enormous, you could hardly bite into them. I used a fork, but they pretty much fell apart. It was like they took a giant ice cream scoop and just dropped a ball of noodles in the fryer. Some parts were also cooked too long, and were sharp and jagged. The drinks we ordered came out of a can, so there isn't much to say about them. Overall, this place was cheap and the service was lacking. With a little TLC I bet it could be great, it seems just a bit half assed. Perks - they have a patio and there's other bars nearby. It's easy to hop back and forth between them all. Just please use the crosswalks.

E!ch item (Inclyding "Simple" pre-meal 'Gnashing' Bread was equivalent to the Grub you'd find in Chicago, L.A., or Vegas. It was Exquisite. . Our Bread - a Whole Wheat Loaf, was modest in size, portioned for two. It included an Olive Oil dipping plate; however, it was prepped in the kitchen. AT first, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't created at our table, but this was extra-fine: an EVOO was folded with a freshly roasted garlic, a fine grating of great Parmesean...possibly Regianno...still...uncommonly GREAT. . For Appetizer, we ordered the Duck Wonton. The filling was great, with a medium earthy taste. Even better was the Breading and Crist. It was as Crispy as an Ethiopian Samosa or fine Panko Breading. Very Savory, Very Very Good. . Wow. Ww are on the Appetizer and I've written half a Chapter. . I'm gonna cut to the Quick with our two Pasta Dishes: Stuffed Shells (Prime Rib) and Bacon-Muahroom Penne (in White Sauce). Both are Everything...EVERYTHING...you would expect from each word in their description. Good Gravy...this was just as exceptional. It was World-Class...in Rural Ohio. It is a one-hour trip from Columbus that is 100% worth a return trip. For 2 Soda, two Entree + an Appetizer, our Total Bill Came to $67. . Did I mention we brought back two small plates worth of leftovers home? It looks like We will both be eating great food again tomorrow.

The place was crowded when we arrived, but after half an hour it was less than half full. The bartender was very inattentive and she seemed distracted. When I asked for the beer menu, she brought it back and tried to give it to someone three seats down. When I ordered my second beer she filled my glass and set it behind the register and started talking to her friend. I had to wave my hands to get her attention so she'd bring it to me. She was very friendly but her mind definitely wasn't on the job. On top of this, she took our silverware after we finished our salad and didn't bring us a clean set after our meals arrived. For the price point, I definitely won't be returning to Rakes. It's a nice place but it's way overpriced for a sports bar.
