An excellent burger! Hand-pattied, half-pound burger with great sear, seasoning and beefy flavor. The brioche bun is toasted golden. The American cheese is fully melted. A nice thick, juicy slice of tomato. The dill pickle spear is crisp. I also ordered the soup of the day, ham & bean ... homemade and also wonderful for my sore throat. This is a neighborhood bar on the northern fringe of Findlay. Inspite of lacking curb appeal, the kitchen knows what they are doing. I ordered and ate at the bar. The service was attentive without being obsequious. The dining room and restroom are clean. Parking is ample. Will I return? Yes! read more

Dark Horse Restaurant - Very good breakfast I'm very happy with it. I will come back again. - American Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

Stellar breakfast on a random Friday am. When they say WAIT! At the hostess stand they mean it- they will be out to grab you as soon as they clean up other tables- most likely for you. It's open, there is a bar to your right as you enter and lots of seating to your right and front. Can eat at bar. We sat, mimosas and bloodies available. Or for that matter- whatever you can think of. They have scotch eggs swimming in a bowl of gravy... yes gravy... and it was delicious. Definitely a Mexican "flair" with lots of black beans, sauces, etc. I stuck with a Belt sandwich - nice and crispy bread with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato. Friendly service and lots of value! Glad we found this spot since we are headed to Ohio a few times a year. read more

Prob 4 stars, only because whenever they get a good cook, they leave and go elsewhere, but I always get good service and 99% of the time- good food! read more

Read online it was open and got there at noon to see they were closed at noon for the holiday weekend! Disappointed because we drove there expecting to eat... Perfectly understandable that they would give their employees time off for the holiday but it would have been nice to know that ahead of time. read more

My friend & I dine at the Dark Horse occasionally. We generally have a good experience, esp if Evian the server is there. Tonight we sat at the bar. We did not have a good experience this time. Our bartender Shanna was less than enthusiastic about serving us. She had an attitude & was yawning Alot! We ordered margaritas, which were good as always. Then we ordered our dinner. i ordered the perch dinner W fries & coleslaw. The perch was good, the fries were way overdone & coleslaw bland. My friend ordered prime rib medium rare. The rib was served Medium to Medium well. Shanna took it away & brought a Médium rare one, which was much better. I almost forgot about the Horrible house salads she served us. She returned them & brought us the Cole slaw & Augratin potatoes. The mistakes were corrected, but totally changed our view of the Dark Horse. I hope improvements will be made! read more

The food was good and the air staff attentive but nothing extraordinary. I would eat here again if invited by others.

A must try! Everything I've had here is outstanding (Hog slaw rolls, open face roast beef sandwich with mashed potato's). The staff and food are really over the top! read more

Worst Steak I ever ate,would not go back.The amount of fat and grade of meat was on a low scale,otherwise the service was great.The Food needs attention. read more

Not impressive. Stopped in for the first time for a bite of lunch only to be extremely disappointed by the food and atmosphere. The French Onion Soup was a disaster! No onions what so ever just broth with a few bread cubes. Cheese was all goopy around the bottom of the cup not broiled over the top. On to the colossal fail of a club sandwich. This was no club sandwich this was not three slices of bread cut into triangles with all the fixings. This was a messy unappetizing sloppy joke. My waitress was however attentive and kind. The only good thing I tasted in this establishment was the ranch dressing. Definitely would NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Just passing through... Really the place is Awesome. We were traveling over the holidays and came across the Dark Horse. It was a little off the beaten path and the building is not fancy but the food and service were outstanding. I had the mushroom burger with onion rings which was worth ordering again. Baby girl had the bacon cheeseburger with fries and she loved it - the burgers are thick and prepared well - Wifie had the club sandwich with a side salad. The club sandwich was really good but the side salad was great - their blue cheese dressing is fantastic... The Dark Horse is worth stopping by for a meal when in the Finley area. read more

We've been going here for years and LOVE it; so glad to get back for some amazing breakfast. Also love the place since the renovations? Looks great inside!!! My hubs had and really enjoyed the chicken fried steak. I had corned beef hash, which I suspect is just the canned kind, but served up beside their homemade biscuits and perfectly scrambled eggs made it the exact thing I needed to kick start my morning. read more

I had the Cobb Salad with blackened chicken and the blue cheese dressing. It had a lot of crumpled blue cheese and bacon bits along with the blackened chicken. Amazing! Brought half it home to have another day. Good service and the waiter/bar tender was very attentive. read more

I should probably avoid anything named "splitter" in the future. It was a bit concerning when we walked in and found a long corridor with long benches for waiting. The wait was only 20 minutes for a table. But that is only one of the waiting games that happen at dinner time. We waited to order. We waited to get our food. We waited to get our check. Waiting was the name of the game over the two hour dining experience. They did upgrade the onion rings as an apology, but when portion sizes are this large more food really doesn't have a great appeal. We tried to be patient. Definitely a promising location, but was a busy Friday night. read more

Dark Horse Restaurant - French Onion Soup Bowl - American Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

Stopped in after a year to eat their famous onion rings & club sandwich. Used to go weekly for lunch but ever since I changed jobs, just not feasible to go on a regular basis. Finally had a chance to return but was sadly disappointed and will be my last time. Atmosphere and prices have not changed but value has. Onions rings are not longer the crispy and light battered. The batter was falling off and was stale. Not crispy. Club sandwich was not the three pieces of bread with layers of goodies cut into quarters. Now, two pieces of stale bread and cut in half. Wish the food was just as I remembered and while I know everyone is trying to cut costs and so forth, this was just a poor decision. Goodbye Dark Horse! read more

Used yelp and found this Gem We were so very happy with the food and prices both We will definitely be stopping back read more

This place is a local favorite. We eat there because the food is always very good, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. It is very clean, but the decor is pretty bland. They are always busy so service can be a bit slow. Don't go if you are in a hurry. read more

Laid back, casual atmosphere. Expect to wait at peak hours. Findlay locals love this place! I Love the bartenders, love the food. Wish they had liquor on Sundays! LOL read more

Dark Horse Restaurant - A delicious favorite of mine, French Onion Soup on the menu and available daily! - American Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

From the outside Dark Horse looks like a dive bar and once you get inside, it's not much better. The bar section is indeed rather divey, loud and sports bar oriented. The dining area isn't all that much better visually with cheap tables, chairs, wires hanging around and void of any decent eye catching décor. But when it comes to food, Dark Horse isn't so dark. I actually shines with good culinary variety all rather tasty and well done. They offer some real treats like peach plates and sandwiches. You must try Lake Eire perch, and as another local treat from the Great Lakes, walleye pike. Then some local strange things like Hog & Slaw rolls being an egg roll stuffed with pulled pork and coleslaw served with a chipotle sauce. For me, I went for their prime rib which was totally delicious, wonderful, especially with the accompanying horse radish. And though I had their green fried tomatoes, found them done in a rather blasé Carolina style absent a good texture and not all that flavorful. For dinks I had a bourbon Manhattan which was nicely done and at $5.95 a heck of a good bargain as was my prime rib on special for a mere $13.99. As far as bargain deals for meals, and very good meals, it's truly difficult to beat Dark Horse. But just on food taste and quality alone, I'd still be a fan of it. read more

Great spot for breakfast. Lots of menu options and hearty portions. The kitchen seems like it gets overwhelmed a bit as it can take a while to get the food out to the tables but the service is always good. read more

Reasonable breakfast, and service with a smile! May be hard to find if the main road is closed,but just follow the farmers, they will get you there, plus senior citizens, it's their favorite place! read more

Really unique menu. Say yes to the green chili burger! Service is usually good. Decor is more of a bar like atmosphere.

I am not a local but I just happen to be in town for a soccer tournament and I like to find the places where the locals go. This is the place. The parking lot is packed. The place looks really simple from the outside but is really modern and clean on the inside. I am here for breakfast and the skillets and omelets portions at are large and homemade. Amazing home cooked food. read more

Stopped in for lunch around 12:30. About 1/2 of the tables were in use. Waiter was friendly and did her job well. Unfortunately it took 45 minutes to get our food. The food itself was "OK" but that's all. Their French onion soup was fair but not great. The rail splitter was huge but the chili was bland and the fries a bit overdone. Overall not a bad experience but I've had better lunches in the Findlay area. read more

We stopped for dinner when visiting from out of state. The meal was great and the service was fast even though they were quite busy. Much better than a chain restaurant! read more

For the money, the Dark Horse is a winner in the Findlay area. The selection is off the charts. Their specials are always changing, and it seems like they really try to make an array of tastes for people with differing tastes in food. The appetizers are extremely tasty, the diner staple entrees are classically made, and the bar is a good place to chill out and have a brew or two. The prices are the best part! They are very reasonably priced. Between $4-$10 for an app, and around $13 for most entrees. The serving size is usually massive, and the drink prices are reasonable. The place was recently remodeled, and looks clean and modern. If you're coming off the interstate, drive a half a click farther and try this place out. read more

We ate here on Sunday afternoon. Upon walking in, a sign asks you to stay in the entry area "out of respect for the current diners" and said a hostess would be along shortly. We waited... and waited... and waited. I finally decided the sign didn't apply to Sundays or something of that nature, and peeked around the corner. A young women eventually saw me, came to the doorway and when I told her I wasn't sure what to do, as this was our first time here, she rolled her eyes and interrupted with "How many?" We said 2 and she said she would go get the hostess. More waiting. We were just planning to walk out when the same woman came back and told us to follow her. The staff was bickering over where to sit us as they found one of the empty tables. I felt like we were bothering them more than anything. The waiter was pleasant and attended to our needs. He seemed a bit rushed and annoyed as well, but took care of our needs. Our table was a bit gritty. The menu was filthy with food and drink stains. The food (pork egg roles for an app and we each had the Gondola) was good - not overly memorable or outstanding. The best part was the pork egg rolls. Our bill was a little over $30, which was a bit high for the overall experience. All in all, it was okay but not memorable. With other options nearby, I don't think we'll return or recommend this place. read more

I am a former restaurant manager and trainer. It seemed like the waitresses were working all over the place and not in sections. it's hard to know when you get new customers that way. I was there for breakfast today. they were busy and we had a long wait before we had our order taken. I don't think our waitress knew we were there people that can in after us were able to order before us and received their food way before we did. I wasn't that impressed with our food. I felt sorry for bus person, so many trips back and forth to clear the tables it would have been nice if she would have had a bus tub, she would have been able to clear the tables all in one trip. read more

2 visits to this place in 1 day. First and last. Spoons in only half the silverware and napkin roll ups. Never did get the spoon I asked for and had to share one with hubby. Clole slaw tasted only of vinegar. Like drinking it straight from the bottle. Perch coating had no seasoning and neither did the Au gratin potatoes. The young girl couldn't wait till I was finished to take my plate then the waitress asked if I wanted a box for my left overs. I told her the other girl already took my plate. What an unorganized, unpleasant place. There were 2 kids constantly pacing the small dining area stalking tables to swoop in and take stuff before customers were finished. Never been to a place where servers watch over your shoulder like that with such crappy food. read more

Dark Horse Restaurant - Breakfast Burrito - American Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

I stopped for breakfast had a chicken fried steak and scrambled eggs sandwich along with fried potatoes with sausage gravy and some sort of jalapeño salsa added. The breakfast sandwich was great the meat done perfect and definitely worth the trip. Yet the jalapeño sausage gravy was okay in fact I would just recommend standard sausage gravy for this overpowered the salsa. A better compliment would be to add fresh diced jalapeños and green tomatoes and green onions for a better tasting sausage gravy. Only a suggestion. I would recommend trying this place if you are in the area. read more
