A coffeehouse meets a breakfast/cafe, this is definitely The Grind. I came here a few weeks ago on…read morea shopping trip into Lima. A friend of mine recommended that I should try The Grind since he knows I am really into coffees, breakfasts and brunch. The morning I came to The Grind, was still frigid even though it was supposed to be spring. I was looking forward to a good cup of coffee and a good breakfast to warm my up. I brought my brother along because, I needed help carrying stuff for the shopping trip. There was no wait even though the place was beginning to fill up to capacity. We sat down and ordered our drinks. One thing I didn't like from the get go was that this place is almost siloed into a coffee shop and a cafe. There is an area in the front where people who want to get coffee to go can order, which is smart and efficient. But, when you sit down, you do not get a coffee menu along with your food menu. The coffee menu is located in the front which would either require you to get up to see what they have or just make a random order. We chose the latter and just asked for two white chocolate mochas. My brother ordered a breakfast skillet, while I ordered the Grind special. I added pictures of the menu to the review so anyone unfamiliar with these items can look them up. We waited quite a long time for the food, think it was about 30 minutes. You could tell they were understaffed. Eventually we got our food. My brother liked the skillet, i mostly liked my meal. The breakfast potatoes were bland and lacked any seasoning. The rest of my meal was good though. One thing we both did not like were the coffees. Usually when I go to a cafe they present the coffee to you in a certain way. They have some design made with foam on the coffee, not here. The coffee also was ok. The taste didn't wow me. Maybe the time we came it was just off because of how many people were in here. Still overall, I did enjoy my meal here.

Lulu's Diner is a fantastic small chain located in Lima, OH. Great place to eat, my family…read moreespecially loves coming to have some great breakfast. We came to this one recently because it was the closest to some errands we were doing. The place is a bit small, expect to wait a bit if you come on a weekend for breakfast. The staff, though works hard so it wont be a long time. As stated, the service is excellent, the wait staff is friendly. We absolutely love the food here, I especially love their Eggs Benedict! It is done incredibly well here! I would certainly recommend having breakfast at Lulu's!

PROS: Very clean. Bright atmosphere, My French Toast was great…read more CONS: I only got one glass of water as the waitress was largely absent. Also, the food did take a good while to arrive.

An excellent burger!…read more 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!

The sandwich platters were tasty and had good-sized portions. Our server did not check back after the food was served except to drop off the bill. We ordered the snack basket ($12.99) which consisted of three large onion rings, a small handful of nearly burnt cheese curds and approx eight fried mushroom pieces. Had there been a photo of this measly portion on the menu, I would have never spent that much money on a small basket.

Cool hip place. Was seated right away. They ran out of the blueberry donuts. I ordered sandwich and…read moresalad combo. Salad had tons of chicken on it. It was good but it wasn't very proportioned. The chicken salad sandwich.......it was good but in my opinion it was too chunky, I think that the chicken at least needs to be cut up more so I can get everything in one bite. The chicken chunks are big and only thing can fit in your mouth. It's also watery. The bread was not toasted enough and had too much butter on it, all I could taste. It just fell apart. Very messy! To fix that I think they just cut it up more and use less butter and toast bread more it would be fine. Biscuits and gravy was good I would order it again. But it did come out cold. All in all I'd go again.

The outside looks like something from a 70s sitcom set…read more. The inside is dated, but I love the vibe! It was packed on a Saturday at 10:30 in the morning. But they move fast! 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

It has a nice old school diner / down home feel. Definitely a place the locals frequent. Everyone was very polite & kind. The food was AWESOME! "Herbie's Mess" really hit the spot with me... paired with some Rye toast that made my belly VERY happy! My GF got the tater tot skillet which she very much enjoyed. The service was quick and the prices surely won't break the bank. Support small & local businesses! A+ We look forward to coming back as it's only about an hour and a half from home.

I've heard this place does a great breakfast and has great eggs benedict. Those who told me this, were dead on correct! I came, I sat, and I ordered some eggs benedict one morning I was in the area. Service was quick and efficient, no complaints there. The place is small but comfortable. The eggs benedict were perfect, a little runny like i love it. Definitely will come back if I want some eggs benedict and don't feel like making them myself.

The Whistle Stop is far from new (nearly 100 years old) but their spiffied up Yelp page, photos and bio caught my eye. So, I rounded up my high school friends and visited for breakfast. It has been years since my last visit so I was happy to see the clean patio with umbrella covered tables. The interior has that classic dive bar feel with beer signs and booths filled with regulars who know the staff by name. Our order comprised of a breakfast sandwich filled with Winner's sausage, Mofo omelette and The Andy Omelette (filled with ham, cheese and onions). We were pleased with the lack of grease found in the omelettes and crisp veggies. The prices are hard to beat with breakfast costing you anywhere from $4-$7. The cherry on top from the whole experience was the great customer service from the owner. He was the perfect balance of cozy hospitality yet gave us time and space to chow down at our own pace.

A quintessential 1950's rust belt bar/restaurant in an Ohio rust belt city. Opened in 1950 and…read moreprobably never remodeled since. I love the no-frills vibe of the venue, staff and customers. My first impression? Dark! I arrived at noon:30 because a passing acquaintance mentioned Lombardo's having the best BPTS. The staff and regulars numbered five and were bantering about nothing at high decibel. I sat at the bar and grabbed a menu. It is a perfectly useful, simple, no-frills list of food and prices. The bartender/waitress was a tad slow to engage this newcomer, but finally got around to taking my order and delivering a glass of water. My second impression? Still dark. The BPTS arrived after the usual wait and was hot from the fryer. It comes with nothing, but the usual garnishes are available for an up-charge that seems a tad rich. $1 for a slice of winter tomato? Pass. $1 for a slice of cheese? Pass. $1 for a slice of onion? Pass. The bun was fresh and the pickle spear was beginning to trend from crisp and crunchy towards a hint of limp. I enjoyed the porky goodness and flashbacks to my childhood BPTS memories. Will I return? Probably. I hope that the kitchen will do breakfast-for-lunch. I am also curious about their hamburger ... $3.50, but the double hamburger is more than 2x the regular burger. What's with that?
