The service was great the salad was delicious and they were definitely quicker than I thought they would be!

Stopped in for lunch. Big mistake. Waited 25 minutes in line just to order. I was polite but the cashier was rude. Took a long time to get food for 2 people. Think they need a better system for taking and filling orders. read more

The owner needs to stop expanding and focus on his base. The cable Rd happy dayz is junk. Got a deluxe fish sandwich and the bun was a crouton and there's only 3 bites of fish for $6.69 is robbery. The chicken and sweet corn bowl only had 4 tiny nuggets on it. Complete joke. I'm a local person that is devastated with the quality, have been a customer for 20 years and prolly won't come back. read more

The chicken strips i bought from there were bland and had no seasoning and they were dry

Happy Daz is usually GREAT! However the Elida Rd location (1st time here) seems to be an older one. While the food was basically on par with other locations, the bathroom was just nasty! Smelled of urine, and no towels to dry hands. DEFINITELY needs updated! Will stick to the other nearby Lima locations in the future. read more

This Happy Daz definitely could use a good cleaning and some booths need replaced. The staff is friendly for the most part. The food is okay but other locations are much much better. The fries are always old tasting and everything else is just meh. read more

The food and service were excellent. We've never had bad service or bad food at any Happy Daz location. I was having a bad few days before we came in. 70s music like ELOs Evil woman. It was impossible for me to stay unhappy. read more

What kind of chicken melt is this? Bread not toasted, chicken and cheese cold. Never again, I wish I could give a zero. read more

Happy Daz - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lima, Ohio

I arrived with my four year old daughter at 2pm. She went through the empty restaurant looking for a clean table. There were none. I wiped one off for us to sit at. In the thirty minutes we were there only one person came in after us. Not a single staff member ever came out to clean. read more

Came here a while back because i have driven by tons of times on my way from Van Wert to Lima and back. Absolutely love the decor, has that 50s burger place/diner feel. Takes a bit to get your food, but the food is great. Ive had their burgers and chicken tenders... both absolutely delish. Definitely worth coming here for a bite. read more

Happy Daz - Half smoothie that they gave me and chewy chicken that should be Crispy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lima, Ohio

Stale buns, burnt flavorless hamburger, undercooked fries this place has sure gone down hill long before covid and the place was not busy. The owner should concentrate on his original business's and forget building more and more what he thinks is high end fine dining and concentrate on his restaurants that got him to where he is today. After this high priced trash i probably wont be back. read more

I went to Happy Daz on Bellfountaine today for lunch and the girl working the drive thru was rude, not only that but my tenderloin was made wrong. It was supposed to be made the way it comes but add mustard and extra tomatoes and when it got it, it only had mustard on it. I had to go back to work so I couldn't leave to take it back. My last few experiences with Happy Daz have overall be bad. read more

I ordered a tenderloin with mustard, pickle, onion and got tomato, onion, lettuce, and mayonnaise. Make sure you check it before you leave the drive thru. read more

Happy Daz has its good "daz" but on a serious note the people that work here just DO NOT CARE. Also I'm here now, and there's an employee in the back with huge beautiful hair.. BUT, no hair net? I am usually not a germaphobe but seriously?! I am tired of coming here and getting slow terrible service. read more

We stopped last week one day to get a tenderloin. We were very disappointed to find that they are not the same as they used to be. We went again yesterday to try again and sure enough, it has changed. The meat was smaller, drier and not as good as before on a dried out bun. I hate it when places change a menu item, especially it it has been one of the main items on the menu. read more

Although I salute owner John Heaphy's enthusiasm for seasonal menus, they generally fall flat. This fall, he is offering a disappointing bratwurst platter. It includes two bratwurst sausages on a bed of sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, grilled onion and cornbread. The brats taste more like breakfast links. The mashed potatoes is flavorless and looks like it came from an ice-cream scoop. The onion is a nice touch but sorta out of place. The cornbread is the lone star of the show. And sauerkraut's impossible to mess up. For $6, I expected more from a restaurant that does diner classics so well. read more

I miss a few things from the 2 years that I lived in Lima, and Happy Daz T-Loins are definitely one of them. Not something you see very often and they are sooo good. A little difficult to eat since the meat to bun ratio is out of whack, but so worth it. I usually try to swing by Happy Daz if I'm traveling through Lima. read more

Happy Daz - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lima, Ohio

This location of Happy Daz is one of the newer ones in town. It is always busy and the food is good. If you are heading west on Elida road and turning into the place or trying to turn west onto Elida Road when leaving the establishment, traffic can be difficult to navigate. While I am impartial to the burgers, the tenderloins are world class. Usually they have some type of discount on tenderloins in the evening hours. This is not fast food, be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes for your food, but it is well worth it. Whenever I am in Lima, I try to visit one of the Happy Daz. read more

Food is average (tenderloin above average but not as good as the best in the region which is The Village Cafe in Cridersville.) The service is bar none the worst in the Lima fast food industry. If there are more than 4 cars in the drive thru line- go elsewhere. If inside- more than 4 people in front of you? Try another place. read more

Decorations in restaurant were awesome, reflected the old 50's style with black and white tile floors, vintage signs for Coca-Cola, Good Year, Vess Cola, and there's a gas pump inside by the front counter. Food prices are decent, my grandma, mom, and I got food for a little under $20, drinks included. Grandma loved her cheeseburger. My mom ordered a pork tenderloin and cheesy Coney fries. She thought the sandwich was about average compared to all the tenderloin sandwiches she's ever had but she really liked the fries. I just had a fry and coke. The tables and floor were all clean and there were 3 arcade games for kids. I spent $1.50 on the Skittle ball machine and won each time I played. 700 points would get you a small prize or a little ball of candy, 1800 got a medium prize which were stickers (honestly I wasn't thrilled about that one), and 2300+ points got a large prize, or a medium sized ball that had a small stuffed animal in it. Was entertaining to play. The family has decided to stop by again and try more stuff next time we pass through Ohio. read more

At the end of April my roommate and I stopped to eat at the Elida Location. Sadly it has went down hill food wise! I ordered two Burgers, a super sack of fries, and two drinks. The Burgers were barely warm, cheese was still ice cold . The Fries were luke warm at best. Never had food this bad from this location. Back in 2019 we got a super sack of fries that were so hot that they remained that way even after we got home which was 25 Miles west of Elida, Ohio. Service was pleasent, but the food was sadly lacking. When one buys a Burger and fries that expect them to be hot not barely warm when they reach the table! read more

Tenderloin sandwiches were thin on the meat and the buns were horrible. Two hotdogs on a footlong bun and just take it from there. Not good food. Service, however, was friendly. Just because you want to own a restaurant doesn't mean you should. Bad, bad, bad. read more

Worse service ever. I called to place the order to pick up, but instead I was placed on hold for 15 min. When we got to the bellefontaine ave location I was thinking it was going to be busy but it wasn't. I was told no one t ok old anyone I was on the phone to place an order ... Very unprofessional and will not be back...I didnt even get an apology for the inconvenience...talking to the manager was a waste of time.. I didnt want anything free injustice wanted them to recognize their fault in it all read more

More than once I've had issues with the Cable Road store. First occasion we returned home to find our sandwiches were not edible. Extremely undercooked, obvious. Second passion we purchased to chilies. Half way home the bag leaked due to stacking the Styrofoam bowls in the bag. Narrowly avoided burns. It's clear the employee training is sub standard. read more

Just stopped by to get my family breakfast was 10:32 and they told me they stopped serving it at 10:30 now because of Corona Virus... Wth does that have to do with breakfast??? Used to be till 11 not including it went up to 5.99 for that price you can go to a good sit down place because the breakfast is decent but not for that price. Already stopped going to one on Cable because their lunch and dinner has gone downhill but will take my breakfast business to Lulus or Bob Evans at least will get good food at a good price... read more

Gota jalapeno nugget. Sleeve that nuggets go in was not even 1/2 full. Ask lady at drive if they was always that small & she said yes. I have order before & always had sleeve full of nuggets. Menu said price was 3.59,& I was charge 3.94. Have pic of nuggets whenreceived, but wont allow me to post the pic. , read more

They sucked food was pink and not fully cooked and didn't taste right i won't go back

Great food!!!! Cooked to perfection. I will say the wait for food is worth it. Now a days you don't know where or what is in your food, Happy Daz food is fresh! A must for a tourist. Specially if you like tenderloins. read more

Stop to kill some time before meeting a friend. Ordered a combo 2 tenderloin and fries everything was under cooked and mushy. Normally I had good food today it was way off. Couldn't eat anything brighter side I got a 5 dollar Dr Pepper. read more

Went to this in celina ohio. Very nice very clean. Very good food has bob evans beat. 2 eggs toast sausage home fries coffee not even 5 bucks. Dont go to fast food this better. read more

Like this place. It does take a few extra minutes to get your food, however, it is usually piping hot when you do receive it. I'm not too crazy about his seasonal menus but the grilled cheese is wonderful especially on cold days. If we're passing this up, you'll find us at Fat Jacks (don't tell Jon, he runs the Beer Barrels) or Kewpee. Yum! read more

Worst service EVER! I don't think anyone had a clue what they were doing, no one appeared to be in charge. They screwed up our order and never brought our correct order out. Only getting 2 stars bc they food is good. The HS students working were rude and incompetent. read more

Second visit here and second time my order was not correct. Drive through has to pay attention to detail. Food is good though.

At the elida store now. I would like to know how 2 4.99 combo meals came to over 15 dollars. I asked the counter people. She said the combo price is just for the sandwich. I was a restaurant manager for 15 years. If the menu says combo it better damn we'll be a combo. Now you've lost a customer read more

This place is a joke. Dont waste youe time or money. They take too long, food is cold and wrong topping. The trifecta of F'd up! Took it back and they did it again. Food wasnt that great even after they did cook it and get the toppings correct. Not for that price! Well, bye!!! read more

Had the shredded chicken sandwich....Like baby food on a bun...nasty

Happy Daz is nothing special...just a rip off of the TV show. The food is over priced and bland...supposedly cooked to order...it is impossible to cook that many orders from scratch in the length of time prior to receiving your order. I recently ordered their two cheeseburgers for five dollars special...asked for mayo, pickle and onion...what a disappointment! I have seen more mayo on an ice cream sandwich...two little sprigs of onion and three pathetic pickles...what a rip-off! I should have went next door to BK and saved three bucks... Avoid this outfit...it is just another cheap food company...with nothing to offer. read more
