The green bean in garlic sauce was the best I ever had. Good taste and beans were cooked perfect. My "side" of spaghetti was huge. And their iced tea was a blend of house brewed with a touch of sweet tea added. It was perfect. Selection of dessert was big and everything looked so good. I had to get the strawberry pie. I wasn't disappointed.

Our first visit to this restaurant was because we learned that this was the family that was…read moreresponsible for the French fries at Cedar Point during my childhood. My Dad would visit Cedar Point just to eat these French fries, and enjoy the Lake Erie views. The fries are as good as the originals, and the restaurant has great desserts to compensate for no Lake Erie views. My "go to" has become a turkey club, with French fries (obviously). The servings are always so generous I have to get my pie to go, and I usually leave with a slice of apple pie. Finally, the servers treat everyone like they're a regular, and most customers are.

I'd never had turkey ribs or sweet potato grits before, and they were an absolute revelation - I'm not sure I'll ever stray from this dish!

If you are in the area, you can't skip this place. If you're from Cleveland, the Marketplace at the…read moreCooke will remind you a lot of the 5th Street Arcades in downtown Cleveland. This is a super cool public market hall in downtown Sandusky with maybe 15ish (just a guess) local businesses like a bakery, bowling alley, axe throwing game space, ice cream shop and boutiques. This is a cool place to spend an hour or two just browsing and supporting local while grabbing some dessert. The building has some type of history to it which I was unable to readily find online (boo, that is so odd). But the history is paid homage in the design of this space, with old timey photos of Sandusky and Cedar Point blown up on the walls and little stories to accompany them. The design is actually brilliant. It's a cool mixture of old school heritage meets modern rustic vibes. It makes you want to stop and look. The businesses in this building are open during the pandemic, just make sure to check with each business directly before visiting as most of the hours are likely changed. I stopped by here extremely quickly (I do not go out much during the pandemic) to pick up some pre-paid birthday treats from Bake Erie. It has a spacious, accessible parking lot and is just a joy to browse. Check it out for yourself, than continue exploring the surrounding area of local businesses... and Lake Erie :)

We were at your restaurant Saturday evening around 4pm. We thought we would like sitting outside…read more But it was chilly and we ask to go inside which our waitress, Micala C. Was very accommodating. She was very nice, sweet and pleasant. My only concern, having a restaurant myself, when we say "thank you" to her when she did something for us. She said, " no problem", instead of "you're welcome" or you're very welcome", meaning she cared. No problem makes people think there was a problem or I was a problem. Think about this for a minute. Not over yet. Once we had come into the restaurant, I asked if they had a sweat shirt that I can purchase because I didn't think that I needed to wear warmer clothing it was 77 degrees outside but the air was chilly. They said no. That is when I said ok. We were seated , it was much cooler in the restaurant than it was outside. By the way, it was last of June. I asked my husband to go back to our hotel and get me a sweater. I ordered for him. His brother was with us and he ordered his meal. He returned with my sweater and Micala said are you warmer and I said yes thank you. She again said no problem. I noticed that she and other wait staff were wearing long sleeves, and hoodies. I said you guys cold too, she said she was always cold. I would have liked her to say "I mentioned this to my boss". I always ask my staff to let me know immediately concerns so I would not receive this type of review assess the issue at that time. Not over yet, my husband and I got our salad and drinks, and appetizer. We were happy with the service thus far. Then my husband and received or rib dinner, by the way, the ribs were delicious. My brother-in-law did not receive his cheese burger dinner at the same time we received our dinner. We waited and waited for his dinner. My husband and I were done eating. My brother-in-law still had not received his dinner. Backing up abit, we asked for more paper towels and ketchup, which we had very little when we received our dinner, and again Micala said again " no problem". That was never going to happen I guess. We got up and exchanged them from a another table. Ok, we had to get her attention to let her know about the brother-in-law not getting his meal. Once he received his cheese burger dinner, he said it also was delicious. The food was great. Ok see where some issues that need to be address. I can see where you are thinking, we are terrible customers. Seriously, we are not. We were very pleasant and tried to understand why....our meal came to $91.00 plus for 3. We gave Micala 22% tip. Remember we had a restaurant and I did not want anyone to leave my restaurant feeling as we did. Your restaurant could be so successful, it has great bones, in a great place. By the way, the restaurant on a Saturday, was not busy. Even when we left little after 6 pm. Please help your staff. They have great potential.

The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly, and they had a blast while we were there. It's definitely a spot that keeps kids entertained and makes it a little easier to relax as a parent. What truly stood out was the staff's integrity and kindness. I accidentally left my credit card there, and not only did they go out of their way to mail it back to me, they included a cute little Thirsty Pony drink coozie in the envelope. That was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. Customer service like that really matters. The atmosphere and the way they handled my mistake absolutely left a positive impression. Thank you to the team for going above and beyond -- that kindness did not go unnoticed!

The food was great, waiting for it... Not so good…read more To be fair, it was packed on a Friday night. We waited 45 minutes to get a salad, it was a Caesar salad salad and they were already out of Romain dressing at 7 PM on a Friday night. We had a Caesar salad salad with spring mix instead... No big deal. The portions were huge, but our dinner came in an hour and 15 minutes after we sat down. It was painfully slow, I will say our waitress was apologetic and helpful. And I know that it was busy, but it's really no excuse for it to look so dirty. It only takes a minute to sweep under a table after a party leaves. The bathroom was deplorable, there was water on the floor and muddy footprints everywhere. The napkins on the ground around the tables along with discarded french fries and shrimp tails were a bit gross. The food is five star, the rest... ehhhhh

Pretty much this has really become my favorite place to grab some much needed sustenance when inside Cedar Point as the Foldovers are all really good and definitely unique as I haven't seen any other parks doing sandwiches like this! The crispy chicken one is delicious it's full of lettuce tomato crispy chicken and some ranch dressing to make it just that much better with that yummy Foldover bread which kinda resembles a pita bread and you know it just fits! The Italian one is also really good too as it's filled with Italian meats and some veggies with a vinaigrette to ad some more zest to something that's already yummy! The meatless sausage one thought is also definitely where it's at as it's also one of the best vegetarian options in the park this Foldover sandwich packs some flavorful goodness inside just get it and you'll see what I mean! They accept Dinning Pass here so definitely take advantage of that or don't forget to use your season pass for a discount off your purchase! The Foldovers come with fries or a side salad so just let them know and you'll be all good with your sandwich! They also have chicken tenders here but it's all about the folded goodness so just get one you'll be thankful you did! Overall delicious goodness inside the park you soo know I'll be coming here again soon for some Foldover yumminess!
