We aunt and uncle are part owners of the Bowman & Landes turkey farm nearby, and frequent this place quite a bit. My sister and I were visiting from Southern California, and they brought us here for breakfast. Lots of good things were on the menu, including some of the best bacon I've ever had. We all had a egg and meat-type breakfast, so I got to sample a sausage as well. Generous portions of very good food at very reasonable prices await you. We even took a couple of homemade pies home for dessert that night. Be sure to stop by this little country kitchen if you're in the area!! read more

This is a solid, friendly place, about as down home mom n' pop as they come! This is definitely the kind of hometown place that I'm always searching for & love to find! Everything I've had here (have only experienced breakfasts & pies) has been terrific. My late MIL used to love coming here, and so we would stop in while we were out running errands or buying annuals from the not too far away Garden Stone Greenhouse in Alcony. Servers are terrific, friendly, efficient. Food is always good, homey comfort food. Place is rustic but clean. Plenty of parking, easy to find - it's the only place in town! Stop in and have a good old fashioned stick-to-your-ribs midwestern meal, and a nice drive through the country to get there. read more

Country cooking delicious breakfast with a home town feel like you are at grandmas house for Sunday dinner

Have been there many times but this will be the last. It was the worst ever. Went with the family it took forever to get the food somebody was smoking in the kitchen and you could smell it out in the dining room ladies bathroom ran out of toilet paper and an hour later they still never brought us any. Service was very slow and the food was barely warm and some of it wasn't even cooked all the way. It took at least a half hour for us to get our drinks after we got there. I know none of us plan on going back. read more

Hands down, best country fried steak with white gravy we've ever had! We are visiting family in Ohio, just driving around looking for a breakfast place and Loretta's came up on GPS. Felt adventurous, stopped in, no regrets! We will definitely visit again. Great service too! Can't wait to try the pies later. read more

Probably the best country fried steak I've ever had in a restaurant. The side dishes were delicious and I would make the trip just for the coconut cream pie. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. read more

Loretta's is about 12 miles from where we live. Last Thursday night (3/13/25), after picking my 15 year old daughter up from school play practice, we decided to go eat at Loretta's. For a small town eatery, that night they were very busy. But service was exceptional. The staff made sure our visit was pleasant. Food came out in good time and hot. This cafe reminds me of my farm days in a small Indiana town many years ago. For some reason, the fried bologna sandwich sounded good that night. So I tried it, best one I have ever had. Bologna was thick and had a great mild taste that paired well with the tomato, lettuce, Mayo, and fresh bun. Had a side of cucumbers and onions like grandma use to make. I always get an order of fried mush when I go to Loretta's then top the mush off with fried apples rather than syrup. It reminds me of many trips to my former in-laws in West Virginia years ago. My daughter likes the breakfast there, and especially the fried mush when dad gets it, we split the order. She puts syrup on hers. The brewed iced tea was the perfect drink for my dinner. My daughter took macaroni salad as one of her sides. I tasted it, as I'm particular about my macaroni salad. It was wonderful and just how I like it. Already thinking about the next: Fried bologna sandwich, macaroni salad, fried mush, fried apples, ice tea. read more

Fantastic!!!!!! What a wonderful small town Cafe Dinner feel with amazing home style cooking!!! So delicious . Made from scratch pies that will bring you here from miles around!! Wonderful Wonderful staff friendly and helpful. Oh yes cinnamon rolls wow yes yes. Okay everything is good lol. Just come get you some !!! Thank y'all for an enjoyable experience! read more

Holy cow! This place is it! Authentic, delicious, country food! The ONLY reason for the 4 stars, not 5, is a little disappointment in the pies. The crust was on the salty side and the flavors were pretty mild, which might be a plus for some folks. Our waitress was young and delightful. The breakfast was fantastic! Looking forward to coming back and trying the country meals!! Thanks Loretta!! YUM read more

We haven't been here since pre COVID and don't eat breakfast out very often. Pleasant surprise! It was just like the old Loretta's we came to every Saturday back 5 years ago! I had French toast and coffee with cream everything was fresh and delicious! Place is very clean and always was before. Take it over a franchise any day and I have a family member that's a GM for Bobs!! read more

I have drove past this little restaurant for years and never stopped, that was a mistake. The wife and I finally went. I had the country fried steak and home fries. The steak was fork cutting tender, the gravy was good and the potatoes crisp. Very good food. It was also affordable. This will be on the regular list. read more

Tables are clean and not sticky. Food was excellent, I ordered the South Western Omlet, rye toast and hash browns. My coffee cup never went dry; Two waitresses would not allow it. Ask for creamer if you use it. A/C is a little loud, but not annoying. Wood floor was swept. Booth seats were clean and no patches. Restrooms are in the back and I didn't check them. I would recommend this place for breakfast with no hesitation. read more

I'm so looking forward to having a meal here if it turns out I get to move to the area,,,,,,, maybe many meals! I've heard nothing but good things from nearby family who have eaten there! I'm a breakfast person--best meal of the day! So I can't really rate it myself, but family has given it 5 stars!!! So will I, as long as the coffee is good.! read more

Every single thing was mouthwatering. The Country Fried Steak was the best I have ever had in my life. All pies were delicious. The green beans were so scrumptious. read more

Orders are seldomly correct. When you call to notify them, " we will put your name on thecard and come back again, get a slice of pie." Couple weeks later when you call another pick up order. No such card with names exist. Anyone can buy frozen biscuits and canned gravy to make their breakfast without forgetting the biscuits. Same with the fried everything else from a bag. Never have enough help. Odd hours. High turn over doesn't help. They were excited to pair with a local butcher. But hasn't helped with the quality since everything is frozen or premade The blonde who runs the restaurant is more involved in a popularity contest, not in the safety of her visitors. Multiple reports of a dog near by she has no concern for the welfare of her clients and only encourages the family to let the dog lose and not control their aggressive dog. Overall it's not worth the headache. Will drive farther for better. read more

Came here on a lark with my boys on a rainy Saturday. This is just a tiny little mom and pop operation, but so glad we stopped here. They had a surprisingly good variety on their menu- from homemade omlets and mush served all day, to amazing homemade meatballs. The highlight of this restaurant though is their daily made pies- there were at least 20 on today's menu. I can tell you from experience the butterscotch pie is to die for. As others have said, bring cash- but if you're looking for some good down home cooking this is the place to be. read more

Loretta's is about 35 miles from our home, but well worth the drive. It is a very pleasant drive if you use your GPS and meander the back roads. The food has always been delicious and the freshly made-in-the-restaurant pies are to die for. They have about 20 different favors every day. Hint-order your pie first to make sure they reserve a serving for you. In the evening, pies sell out fast. TAKE CASH!! It's all they take. Notice the hours, too. It's 6 AM-8 PM. Prices are very modest also. read more

Middle America food, when you are on Ohio. Homemade pies are best around, order the lemon meringue pie. Great comfort food meat loaf. The food depends on the special. read more

I'm going to have to side with the previous poster, they only seemed to cater to the locals and the waitress seemed to have an attitude. Then this guy kept staring at my family, I was very close to saying something how disrespectful. If you have never seen someone with Alzheimer's before what is the point in staring at them? The food was not much better. My catfish was like a piece of cardboard, but the pie on the other hand was wonderful. I won't be coming here again though. Not worth the trip out there. Never did get my to go box for the bread so I just left it there. I am all about keeping local business alive but when you have crappy service and rude people go to Bob Evans and avoid the drama. read more

Just stopped by to eat with a girls soccer team. Had about 28 people. Smaller, quaint place. Great food and service. Lovely owner. Would go there again should we ever be back in town! read more

Loretta's Country Kitchen is absolutely the best !!! It's all real home cooking, like made from scratch mashed potatoes. She has the best pies for miles around and are home made too. The service is very good, and usually served with a big smile :) My husband and I try to get here as often as we can and we have about a 30 minute drive but it's well worth it. Loretta's is not full of stuffy locals, just regular people who will be happy to see you and that's the truth. P.S. don't forget the pie, it's sooo good :) read more

This place was recommended. It's in a small town and frequented by locals, you can tell. The food was good but the service was lacking. You can see how the waitresses cater to the locals, which we aren't. Our waitress was rather rude. We were eyed over and over by the locals and it was uncomfortable. Don't need to go back again. read more

This is a great small town restraunt. Always friendly staff. Took my father in law and brother in law they loved it. Amazing pies.

Great place to eat with very friendly staff!Perfect place to go enjoy a quiet country meal.

Recently stopped as we were on our way home to Dayton. Had a great home cooked meal. The fresh baked bread was excellent. The staff was was very friendly. The food arrived promptly and exactly as was ordered. The coconut cream pie and the apple pie was delicious. read more

My husband and I were in the area looking to move back to Ohio from MI. We ate at Loretta's every day. The food was so good and the service with a smile brought us back each and every day. The food is quality home cooked and the pies...well...they made me think of my mom. Thank you to all who served us and answered questions. I hope we can find what we want so that we can be in close proximity to Loretta's. As an aside note, I've never been greeted with so many genuine smiles. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
