We went after a baseball game, so there were about 5 families in our party alone. SHE KILLED IT!!! 100000% on her game. I started with the keg tots. They were stuffed with mashed potatoes, bacon, cheese and came with a ranch dip I believe. Phenomenal. I got the all American burger and you got to pick 5 toppings. I went with lettuce, tomatoes, mushroom, grilled onions and pickles with cheddar cheese. Perfectly cooked. A must try if in the area. A sleeper that shouldn't be overlooked!!

The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly, and they had a blast while we were there. It's definitely a spot that keeps kids entertained and makes it a little easier to relax as a parent. What truly stood out was the staff's integrity and kindness. I accidentally left my credit card there, and not only did they go out of their way to mail it back to me, they included a cute little Thirsty Pony drink coozie in the envelope. That was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. Customer service like that really matters. The atmosphere and the way they handled my mistake absolutely left a positive impression. Thank you to the team for going above and beyond -- that kindness did not go unnoticed!

Very disappointing…read more We have a cottage on the islands and yesterday we had some time available before our ferry so we stopped in to take advantage of their early happy hour (3-6) as we've been there before and enjoyed it. Not this time. It was about two minutes to 3 when we sat at the bar (nobody else at the bar but us) and asked for a menu. The bartender (male) gave us dinner menus so we asked could we please have the lunch menus. He looked at his watch and said "I guess so" and gave them to us. We then asked for the happy hour menu and again, he looked at his watch , decided it was ok, then gave them to us. Not an awesome start but no biggie. We ordered the happy hour calamari, and for lunch I had the perch sandwich with chips and wife got the luncheon steak filet. First the good news. Service was good, food came out quickly and my wife said her steak (while a bit pricey at $35 for a small filet) was excellent as were the green beans that came with it. Now the bad. The calamari was severely over-fried and basically tasteless. My wife asked me "do you taste anything?" and candidly, I didn't. Just the dipping sauce. My perch was equally flavorless, all I tasted was bread. Same goes for the 1/2 baked potato that came with the steak. That looked and tasted exactly like a microwaved potato someone sprinkled a bit of shredded cheese on. Very, very bland. And the homemade chips that came with the perch were the saltiest things ever salted. I couldn't eat them at all, had about three (they looked great) and realized my sodium level would spike off the charts if I ate any more. With two drinks (a happy hour beer & Tito's) the bill with tip was $100 and we couldn't taste the calamari, the perch or the potato and couldn't eat the chips. Insert "not great Bob" animated gif.

Maybe not our favorite wing place, but a good option since we are wing fans. I like the boneless…read morewing salad with the garlic parm sauce. After being at CP and eating to much junk, I like a good salad to balance everything out. I believe you can get it grilled or plain, not fried. The kids love wings and sauces, so this is a great place for our family. I also like this as an option when we stay at Castaway Bay. It used to be Friday's back in the day, but this is a decent replacement. There is a huge menu, so something for everybody. Staff is friendly and I love the theming. I love a good theme with a lot of kitschy décor. Not the worst option in the area. And a decent place if you do not want to leave the hotel at night.

For years, literally decades, I'd heard of Quaker Steak & Lube from family in Ohio. It was supposed…read moreto be THE place for wings in Ohio. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. Our server was still in training, so I will cut her some slack. But at the same time, all of our food came out lukewarm. Cheese had congealed back into a solid. She came back for all of one refill on one of the five people at our table. Training is one thing, but come on. The sauce on my wings tasted straight from the grocery store. But perhaps worse for the food was the portion size. "Full sized" entrees that wouldn't be full for the kids meal. One of my party had a mac and cheese bowl that was, tops, six spoonfuls. For the price paid, the amount of food was not worth it. So to get minimal food AND it be lukewarm? I'm not feeling a reason to go back.

So I ordered a 9" pepperoni and mushroom pizza and some breaded deep fried mushrooms to go. My order came out within 15 minutes. The pizza was pretty good. The crust was thin and crispy. The sauce was pretty decent. There were a fair amount of toppings although they weren't spread out very evenly. The price was about right ($12) but the breaded mushrooms were a little steep ($8) for the few smallish pieces I got. The staff was friendly and they do have a reasonably priced pizza buffet that would definitely entice hungry families on a budget. Chet and Matt's is a 4 star kind of place.

There also appeared to be a salad bar that we did not get a chance to try. We ordered two orders of breadsticks with cheese for the table, cheese pizza, meat lovers pizza, redskin potato pizza along with fried cauliflower. I wished the waitress would have offered some advice when we ordered that much food. The breadsticks with cheese were essentially a ticker cheese pizza and we were completely full when the actual cheese pizza arrived. The red skin pizza was good as it was something new I don't typically see around. The best part of the whole meal was the fried cauliflower which I wish we had a bigger portion as we were trying to split with the table. I'm not sure if I would come back here. The food was fine but nothing to rave over other than the fried cauliflower that I feel we didn't get enough of.

If you're craving a juicy burger and/or tasty wings while in Sandusky, Main Street Tavern…read moredefinitely has to be on your list. We came during peak dinner hours and waited ~20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad. The place isn't too large, and given how good the food is, I can see why there could be a wait. We decided on the jalapeno poppers (June special), onion rings, lemon pepper wings, and two burgers with fries (BBQ ranch jalapeno burger - June special, Hot N' Spicy burger) all to share. Plenty of food for 2 adults and 2 kids to share! We all agreed everything was delicious. The poppers come out super hot, so definitely wait a little to bite into them. Onion rings perfectly cooked and crispy. Wings were plump and had good lemon flavor to them. Both burgers were juicy, but of the two enjoyed the Hot N' Spicy more. Service is friendly and attentive. Parking is available in a small lot directly next to the restaurant or along the street.

I didn't check the order which is my bad. Went home and opened the box to find 2 pathetic looking drumsticks. They were sized like a drumette you would eat at someone's wing night. They also tasted like old oil. I'm thinking they didn't have any breasts ready and didn't want to deal with it 20 minutes before closing? I don't know, just guessing. However, I didn't get my order and what I did get was substandard. I paid over 12 dollars for a biscuit, 2 sides (small sides) large diet and 2 "drumettes", essentially. I could have just as well flushed the 12 dollars down the drain. The young lady at the window was extremely pleasant so kudos to her for that, anyway! I used to love Lee's, but they just lost my business.
