    Fried sampler basket is pretty serious!

    To say the Dorr Street Cafe is a hole in a wall would be an understatement. Tucked away in a relatively unattractive strip mall, you'd have no idea a bar & grill would exist. But exist it does. We stopped in today for a noon brunch, and the front of the house was packed with old bikers. The bar was full, and the bartender was pounding shots with the patrons. There was a bit of a wild west saloon vibe going on. The dining room was empty, and we were promptly served by our lovely waitress Raquel. I asked her what she would order if she was me. I gave her the options of the french dip, the philly or the reuben. She said the roast beef with gravy was in fact her favorite but that they were known for the reubens. I went with her suggestion. My wife ordered the rainbow chicken salad, and we also chose the enormous fried appetizer platter. Good lord I overdid it. The app was perfectly greasy, and just what you'd expect. The roast beef... holy smokes. It was one of those time travel dishes. First bite in, with the brown gravy soaking into the white bread underneath the meat... I was back in third grade, mid 1980's school lunch. It was perfectly generically awesome. It tasted exactly as brown gravy should taste. The potatos? Totally out of a box, but perfectly paired with the soggy white bread and out of the jar sauce. The roast beef was thinly cut and melt in my mouth tender. My wife was surprised by the size and freshness of her salad. It was really huge, and the veggies all seemed top quality. Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes singing "I've Had The Time of My Life" in the background, the mid 80's decor and the flavor profile of my lunch really put me in a wonderful time capsule. I have no idea how the place changes throughout the week. A different crowd and music would have a lot of impact, but I can tell you the Dorr Street Cafe does a solid job of pushing out extremely generic american pub food. As a side note, yes I am giving a restaurant that serves dehydrated potatoes 4 stars. And this review shouldn't be compared to a 4 star review of a fine dining establishment. They earn 4 stars because they are doing a solid job at what they are doing.

    Really good food served in a throwback bar atmosphere, much like the family oriented bars of rural America. A good find.

    At work, we pitched in money to cater a farewell luncheon party from Grape Leaf Diner and the…read moregathering took place in our office conference room. While I did not experience the ambiance at Grape Leaf Diner today, I can say from a past visit that the atmosphere is clean, bright with lots of windows, and with comfortable chairs and booths. The restaurant is located near or within a small strip mall at the Holland, OH location. (The Grape Leaf Express location in Toledo, OH located on Monroe St near Franklin Park Mall is also in a strip mall.) The food ordered today included chicken shawarma, yellow rice with vegetables (green beans, corn and peas), hummus, pita bread, and a Greek salad. There was also a dish of grilled vegetables that included squash and zucchini. While I didn't want to be rude and photograph food in the middle of the party, I took some screenshots posted by the restaurant to give you an idea of the food presentation. The salad ingredients were very fresh and delicious. Hummus was perfectly flavored. I always wish that Mediterranean rice had more vegetables, though it was delicious. I found the chicken shawarma a bit salty, but I'm salt-sensitive, so most people probably would love it; the meat was lean. As for the zucchini and squash vegetables, they looked delicious but we didn't have plastic knives, and I couldn't manage to cut them or eat them with the plastic forks. It was a beautiful presentation and I recommend that you give this restaurant a try! A tip for summer weather: the A/C was cranked up high when I was last there... maybe bring a jacket or sweater if you tend to run cold.

    Very family oriented for a casual dinner. Servers are very attentive, polite and courteous. Drink…read moreorder came almost immediately and entree order given. Nice time between salads and entree arriving. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Portion size is very far. The restaurant looked clean and well kept. Their menu has a nice selection of items so there's something for everyone.
