This is one of my new favorite places to grab a drink and some delicious and inexpensive food…read more It's been up and running in Findlay for over 30 years and serves such tasty and unique food, especially for this area of the country. I've had several things on the menu and really liked them all. My go-to meal is the Navajo Taco! I order it with a mix of their chi zip and carnitas with the spicy green chili sauce and sometimes a side of sour cream for extra creamy goodness What makes the taco so unique is the Navajo flatbread, which is typically found in the Southwest of the United States and I've never had it in the Midwest! The chili rellenos dinner is absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and fried peppers filled with cheese with and extra spices to with a nice crispy crust makes this dish mouthwatering!!! Definitely check out the appetizer menu, there are a few items on it that you won't see anywhere else. The staff is always friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs too, so that's a plus. Really can't say enough about Olers, I stop in every time I drive through Findlay!

The menu is a little smaller than many or the hugggggge multi- page menus at most local mexican spots- but that means they can focus on quality food. (One would think)The salsa needs some cilantro and a bit more punch. Not sure if it's freshly made, but it gives a jarred salsa vibe. Service was fair/ our waitress was hustling hard, but seems like they were short handed, The burrito was just ground beef inside of the flowers for the dry and instead of plate. No cheese, salt, no vegetables, not even any beans. The chili relleno is breaded and hard fried in the weirdest way. Not at all traditional hard as a rock. Not a bad flavor, but weird texture.

I think Zack H's comment that Crowbar is reminiscent of The Square in Akron is pretty spot on. My wife and I used to go to Square with friends when we lived in Akron and we found Crowbar to be Sandusky's larger equivalent. The decor is modern/trendy with swanky accents. When I visit Crowbar, I actually feel like I've left Sandusky. It's a good mix of straight and gay folk, but the bar is able to maintain its identity and focus in light of the mix. This place generally comes alive late in the evening. The inside seems to play host to a show of drag and dance, while the outside is the more reserved location for chitchat and games. Both inside and out, the club is mostly home to a younger set of people. I noticed a number of people comment that the drinks were medium priced to high, but I thought it was pretty cheap when sticking to beer and the basics (like gin an tonic). Service is awesome--the bartenders are pros and take care of everyone. While I find the place to be fun, even as a straight patron, it is a little watered down in some aspects. It's now Sandusky's only gay bar, which means it has to cater to a wide range of people. When something tries to serve an entire community alone, it can't really focus on a few amazing things that make the place special. Thus, the music gets a little tired, the drag shows get a little repetitive, and so on and so forth. I wish Club X was still around just to at least offer a dive bar alternative. With the size of the LGBTQetc community in Sandusky, especially during the summer, I'm surprised that this is the only gay bar in town. Sine I don't live in Sandusky, I don't get tired of the joint, but I could see it getting worn down by this place if I were a local. One option just isn't enough.

We were sat in under two minutes, and had our food in less than 10. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Some of the waitresses here had to be at least 60 to 70 years old, and it looked like they came with the building. I'm not saying that as a bad thing. Is it really a good diner if at least one of the waitress's hands don't shake a little as she sits down your plate? The portions are enormous... The pancakes are the size of a plate. We watched the food come out and everything looks really good. Our waitress was fast and friendly, can't ask for anything better. It was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.p
