Garlic parm.

Best wings in the tri-town area. I only go there for the wings (Thursday is the wing special)! Its definitely a biker bar with mostly locals. Plenty of tables in the back and a bar area when you walk in. The service is nice and experienced and the prices are reasonable for the area. Live music throughout the week.

Fried pork tenderloin sandwich!  Hand cut fries!

Pork Tenderloin with mustard, onions and pickles, suggested by Larry, was great! Hand cut fries were outstanding as well! Carrie was very nice to us and we will be back for the Saturday Steak special!

Desperados is a biker bar. It has literally about a hundred around the parking lot. Probably not a good place for kids, so do not bring them. It opens up for breakfast. They are never in a hurry so prepare to wait. It is the best bar in the Huntsville area. It's bigger than it looks. They have the main room. It features the bar and several tables filled with bikers and locals. There's another room in the back used for parties. It's through the doors marked bathroom. The bathrooms are actually to the right immediately through these doors, if you need to go there. Another feature is the patio you can get to from the parking lot. Many times it gets crowded inside, so this is another option. It's usually filled with bikers. They can't smoke inside so this is where they all come. I had a vodka and ginger ale. This is about $3 so not bad. It has a small menu. It's beer selection is not impressive, so it's better to get liquor. They are popular for breakfast on Sundays.

Traveling through town, we had to stop to give our 2 year old a diaper change and feed our grumbling tummies. On the outside looking in, this place just looks like a fun dive bar but there is actually an outside covered eating area in the back with a jutebox and all! You do have yo walk through the bar area (so we could only find) but that wasnt a big deal to us. We honestly thought we'd get mediocre food since the place isnt fancy smancy but yall--- this burger was legit, to die for. My husband and I split one because had to get it to-go so we could keep traveling (and our 2 year old is too feral for restaurants right now) but that didnt hinder the taste at all! We got my daughter the mac and cheese bites, but she refused to eat them and in turn decided to cry about life in general, so we ate them and they were ALSO delicious! A bunch of bikers were in and out and this place looked like the place to be if you were riding! If you're passing through dont pass this place up!

Rode out on a Sunday to meet 12 others for the steak special. All grilled outdoors. Awesome! Others among us had the equally awesome grilled chicken. Can't beat this place for great food, great waitresses, and cold beer. Easy to get to. BIKERS-- THEY PAVED THE LOT !!! WATCH YOUR SPEED !!!

Place has some of the best wings in Ohio, seriously one of my favorite bars. Cool ass atmosphere with comfortable setting.

1/2 of a fried tenderloin sandwich.   They are huge and amazing!   Best we've had!

We love Desperado's! It's a MUST stop every time we are in the area. Heck, we drove 1 1/2 hours here one evening just for their wonderful hand cut, hand breaded tenderloin sandwich! It's amazing! This past Sunday, when staying in the area, I ordered carry-out on their steak dinner special. 16 oz rib eye, salad, baked potato and roll for $16.99. Omgosh, the steak was PERFECTLY cooked and delicious! Ordinary salad, roll and the potato was past it's fluffy prime (order during the last hour of the special. .. Next time I'll order earlier. ) All in all, the steak made it all worth it! DELICIOUS! We will be back many more times! We decided the next time, one of us will get the tenderloin and the other one will get the cheeseburger, which looks amazing!

I haven't made a review in a long time, but this place deserves it. The food was outstanding. The…read moreservice was amazing and the prices were fair. It's hard to find all three of those in one place. We will definitely be coming back. We even got some chicken to bring back home.

Lunch at Woody's Diner: A Buckeye Superfan's Dream…read more If heaven has a diner, it needs to be like Woody's--otherwise, I don't want to go. As a lifelong Ohio State fan, walking into this place felt less like lunch and more like stepping straight into Buckeye Heaven. Every inch of the diner is drenched in scarlet and gray pride--autographed photos, jerseys worn by real players, helmets, and memorabilia that makes you want to stand up and belt out "Carmen Ohio." I knew before even cracking the menu: I was home. Our server, Grace, was all smiles and Buckeye spirit. She gave us the rundown--Woody's has been serving up Buckeye-influenced eats for about 15 years. And it shows. The burgers aren't just burgers here--they're tributes, each named after coaches, players, or football legends. Picking one felt like draft day. Grace recommended the Dustin Burger, named after former Buckeye great Dustin Fox. Now, I'll admit--when I heard "peanut butter on a burger," my first reaction was the same as when Michigan wins a game: complete disbelief. But I trusted Grace. And let me tell you... this was no trick play. This half-pound beauty came stacked with peanut butter, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg. It sounds strange, but somehow the combo worked like a perfectly executed Flea Flicker. The bun was grilled, the burger cooked to a juicy medium rare, and by the second bite I needed a stack of napkins big enough to block a defensive line. My wife went with the Tailgate Burger--a powerhouse with house-made BBQ sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, Miracle Whip, and onion straws. Cooked to medium well, it was sweet, tangy, and messy enough to require its own offensive coordinator. She said it was delicious--though maybe a little too "sloppy touchdown celebration" for her liking. And get this--burgers are just the start. The menu is huge, with pizzas, sandwiches, and even big entrees like grilled steak and pork chops. But honestly, when the burgers are this good, I don't know if I could ever call another play. So here's my verdict: Woody's Diner = Buckeye pride + killer burgers + friendly staff = one unforgettable lunch. If you're a Buckeye fan, or just a burger fan, or hey, even if you're that rare soul who just likes food with personality--high tail it to Woody's. Trust me, it's worth it. Until next time, I'm Brian -- and remember to Take the Trip! (And yes, I may have sung the Ohio State fight song all the way home. My wife can confirm.)

I travel for work as a maintenance mechanic and Wapakoneta is one of the plants I am responsible…read morefor. I was asking the people I work with there where are some good places to eat for lunch.I believe The Side Rail came out of nearly everyone's mouths.I arrived at the restaurant for a late lunch probably around 4:30 and the place was not too busy but had its share of patrons. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door with a hello and a smile.I chose to sit at the bar beings I was alone.The decor was very neat with a mix of local and railroad themed decorations.The alcoholic drinks included a large collection of various unique and flavorful drinks and cocktails. I enjoy a good hard cider but the one they had listed on tap had a strawberry flavoring. I mentioned my fondness of ciders but my lack of enjoying strawberry flavored drinks to the waitress/bartender and she immediately offered a sample. I was quite surprised how good it actually was.The menu definitely has a large selection of unique food and combinations especially burgers. I started with an appetizer of garlic cheeses curds. They came out quickly and were fresh,hot, and crispy just how I like them.The garlic flavor with the cheese curds was a great change from the normal cheese curds I'm used to with them even being in cubes.I had to try the burger with Peanut Butter and Jelly, the loaded fries, and Mac and cheese.I was really second guessing that ordering that choice was a good one but boy was I surprised.The burger was cooked perfectly.I will never understand how a burger with cheese,peanut butter,a fruit jam sauce, and even a egg actually not only worked together but was delicious.The loaded fries were crispy,cheesy,and the jalapeños were flavorful but not too hot.The Mac and cheese was also very delicious and very creamy.I will definitely be returning to try some of the other unique sandwiches and cocktails. The only regret I had was forgetting my leftovers in my truck when I got back to my hotel.

Lovely omg the best best best food. Definitely a must go to anytime I am in area. Feta…read moreburger the absolute best!!!
