Blue Ribbon burger

I had the Blue Ribbon burger it was truly delicious! Don't know what you could do to improve it. The service was excellent. Our entire table agreed that they treat you like you want to be treated. They aim to please, so if you are looking for perhaps the best blue cheese burger in the Toledo area, I highly recommend Doc Watson's

Pizza burger!

Is this going to be one my long-winded blustering reviews? Nah. Ain't nobody got time for that. Doc's is a SoTol staple for good reason(s): Great food (huge menu...only one bad meal since 1995). Great beer (35 unique, but not recondite, drafts). Great atmosphere (you'd never guess this place was in a strip mall). Great service (you don't have to be a regular to get props). Come to Doc Watson's you will be glad you did. 5 stars!

Docs good food and drinks staff is amazing 10 stars the manger Carey is great....owner Charlie great with customer waitresses amber jazz Zannaare awesome make sure you tip them. Now let me break the food down have to try the Rasta quesadilla Rasta sub Burgers are good they also have breakfast that's amazing aswell all food is priced fair

A group of us visited Dc Watson's earlier this week and it was awesome. Everyone said their food was great but I had the italian sub and I can say it was the best italian sub that I have ever eaten. Excellent food, phenomenal service and so much fun!

My neighborhood spot when Im home. Been thru many changes since i started going in grad school. The staffing the situation has finally settled. 90% of the staff is on point. Theres always a few that are not too good but for the most part good service. So I finally figured out something to eat here which is a grilled cheese sandwich. A different take on it by adding cream cheese to it. I'm lactose intolerant so I can't eat it very often but when I do I always enjoy it and I will say is the best in the Toledo area. A good 50 drafts which are about $2-3 more than other spots but good craft beer. Mixed drink prices are on average or below which makes me wonder about the beer Prices. If i can go to Village Idiot or downtown n get the same beer for $3-4 why would I pay $5-6 here? Convenience and I love the regular bartenders. Chris Bill Corey Rachel. Don't ever leave. I love coming home no matter how long Ive been gone n they already know what to offer me. Thanks

Great Black Swamp Brewing

Great Black Swamp Brewing

(6 reviews)

As I've said in the past, I'm probably not the best judge of good beer... because I like most beer…read more BUT, for what it's worth, I'll say that, so far, I've been VERY pleased with the offerings from GBSB. They brew beer (on site) that will please almost any pallet. You're a fan of light and refreshing Wit beer? Yep. How about jet black (essentially) imperial stout? You're covered. Christmas ale and "French toast ale?" You're still good. IPAs, yeah sure of course. At any given time, it seems like GBSB will have between 20 and 25 beers on tap. Is the brewmaster stretching himself a little too thin?? Maybe. I wonder what would happen if they decreased the number of beers brewed at any given time and focused maybe JUST A LITTLE BIT more on quality. Regarding EtOH, they have more than just beer, but every time I've been here, I've only seen people drinking the fermentation of malted barley (and a little wheat). And for good reason...the beer is good! There's no food to speak of, but like most microbreweries around here, you can frequently find a food truck parked outside. The location (on Tedrow in South Toledo) is great. Inside, GBSB is clean and very comfortable. I'd say the taproom could be considered to be a little towards the "sports bar" side of the scale, but still, the TVs are not overly intrusive. Free popcorn. The service has always been great...fast and friendly. The prices? It's craft beer. Regarding the atmosphere again. Great Black Swamp Brewing is dog friendly. You can bring your dog(s) inside. Bring your dog but don't bring your mother-in-law. FOUR STARS, with the potential for 5.

This is an awesome looking space. Able to open the doors n windows to make it more open space…read more Maybe in Austin. This is Ohio and the weather here 7-8 months out of the year are not a open your windows type of deal. I like beer. I drink beer if Im going to drink most times out. I tried a flight here of 4 of their beers and did not find one that was good. For me. As my man was enjoying the atmosphere I even resorted to getting a glass of wine so we could hang for a bit. Service was just ok. They do have food trucks time to time. None when we were there. I can just imagine how cold it is in here in fall/winter with warehouse type spot atmosphere. Glad I checked it out but don't see any reason to return for me.

We recently hosted a retirement party for my boss here, and from start to finish the experience was outstanding. Wayne and Amy were incredible to work with while planning everything--they helped coordinate the setup, worked with us on catering appetizers, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They even accommodated us bringing in our own cake, which was a huge plus. They gave us a large dedicated section for our group, and everything ran seamlessly all night. The food and drinks were fantastic across the board--everyone in our party was raving. The pretzel bites with beer cheese were a big hit, and the pulled pork nacho bar for appetizers was next level. People kept going back for more and talking about it all night. But the real standout of the evening was our waitress, Karissa. She was an absolute rockstar. We had a large group with individual tabs for everyone, and she kept everything perfectly organized without missing a beat. Drinks were always full, food came out quickly, and no one was left waiting or confused. Whatever system she was running behind the scenes--it worked flawlessly. It's not easy to keep a big group happy, and she made it look effortless. Whether you're going for a casual dinner or planning a large event, this is a place that knows how to take care of people. Highly recommend.

Started off with the Saugatuck Blueberry and Lemonade shandy, very tasty and smooth, if not looking for something heavy this is a great choice. The fresh cut fries are thin but great taste but not to salty. We also got the Pulled Pork nachos which had great tasting pork and sour cream with some bbq drizzle as well, it was the best appetizer we had. The pretzel was solid and the hummus and veggies is what you would expect but felt like an afterthought as the hummus didn't have any taste. The wait staff was engaged and attentive. For a brewery/pub it has a lot to offer with an upbeat atmosphere. I recommend checking them out!

Brunch Review! (Sun 10am - 2pm) Inside the Five has three…read morelocations (Perrysburg, Slyvania, & Toledo) and has a great beer/food selection. I've only been to the Downtown Perrysburg location but have been impressed every time. They have a good variety of beers on tap that they make including some rotating seasonal selections. Not a beer drinker? They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails, wine, and NA options. I've stopped in a couple of times for a casual drink at the bar or to enjoy on their amazing summer patio area. They often have events like live music to enjoy so keep an eye out! This visit, I stopped in for brunch with friends. Their menu is smaller but has good variety and is priced well. I got the Biscuits & Gravy which had a handful of biscuits sauced in their house made gravy and topped with fluffy eggs. Delicious! My friend got the Chicken Salad Sliders which came with 3 pretzel bun sliders filled with yummy egg salad and a side option. He chose their chips which were tasty. My husband got the Chicken & Waffles. This was the most expensive but smallest portion. The sandwich itself was good and comes with a side but side options aren't listed on the menu. The entree was served on a large plate and simply looked small in size. Flavors were good but it left room for more food. Overall, this is a great, easy food and drink spot in Perrysburg. They offer their beers on tap but also some are canned for purchase in the to-go fridge. Stop out in the summer to enjoy their prime season and get a DORA cup to enjoy while walking around Downtown Perrysburg!

I try not to make things about skin color but this was blatant and the food temperature was not even lukewarm when it arrived. Then my friend asked for the check and he brought it back instantly. We have to wait an hr for our food but you hurry up and get us out of here! Duly noted! I DO NOT recommend anyone of color to patronize this establishment. You will definitely get treated like you're second class.
