    Pizza burger with a side of potato chips.
    Dustin M. R.

    Passing through Deshler one afternoon, my stomach reminded me that it was just past lunch right about the same time as my eyes spotted the Mama Roses sign on Main Street. Parking out front along the road, I entered the establishment and paused, not sure if I should seat myself, or wait. After a minute or two of uncomfortable waiting, the waitress who was helping the lone table of customers paused long enough to look up and ask me if I wanted carryout or to eat there. Once I indicated I was planning to dine in, she invited me to sit at the table of my choice. Soon after making myself at home at a booth along the wall, the waitress finished up with her other table and sauntered over to ask what I wanted to drink. When she returned with my Pepsi, I went ahead and ordered the pizza burger with chips. The restaurant was decorated in what I affectionally refer to as 'small town diner,' with tasteful pictures and food-type signs on the walls. The dining room was structured with a row of booths running along both walls, with tables and chairs down the middle. One item of note was just how meticulously clean the restaurant was. I mean, most mom-and-pop restaurants tend to be pretty clean, but Mama Roses was *spotless*! After a fairly short wait, my order was delivered to the table. While the pizza burger was piping hot, it was conspicuously missing the side of potato chips. When I asked the waitress about it, she looked puzzled, apologized, took my sandwich basket away ("hey, I wanted to eat that!" my gnawing stomach shouted), and immediately returned it with a double-handful of chips. Before walking away, she said they make the pizza sauce in house and told me to enjoy my meal. She was right, as the pizza burger had a great taste, with an especially delicious marinara sauce that was not overly salty, like what store-bought sauces tend to be like. Returning later with my bill, the waitress asked if I wanted a refill on my Pepsi, which I appreciated. However, before bringing my check, I was a little disappointed that she never asked if I wanted to try one of the many pieces of pie described on various signs around the restaurant. Maybe she thought my butt was already big enough, and she was trying to spare me from further embarrassing myself from the COVID-19 that I have already put on? Regardless I gave her the benefit of the doubt and left a 30% tip. PROS: very good food, reasonable prices, and a fastidiously clean dining room CONS: This is a minor quibble, but the waitress was not as overflowingly friendly as one might have expected given the fact that she had just three patrons in the entire restaurant. Overall I rate Mama Roses as being Very Good, and look forward to returning the next time I am in the area.

    This was my second visit to The Standard, this time for an early Holiday meal. We had reservations…read morefor two and were promptly seated in a booth as requested. I hadn't realized before that there is a large room to the right of the bar area. We were there for a somewhat early dinner at 6pm on a Saturday and the place was bustling! Definitely make a reservation. (I used Open Table online two or three weeks in advance and it was very easy.) We were greeted shortly after being seated and our server advised us of the special entrees after taking our drink orders. We decided to split the roasted beet salad which also came with herbed goat cheese. Our server brought the salad on two plates- already divided. The salad was absolutely amazing!! I am seriously still craving it and the portion was so large that I couldn't even finish my half. Our server promptly boxed it up before our entrees were served. For the main course, I ordered one of the specials- scallops with rice sauteed with spinach. My friend had pork roast with carrots, which was a large portion - no complaints and she took home leftovers for another meal. I'll speak to my scallops... They were perfectly prepared, but there were only three scallops and a plentiful serving of rice and spinach. I love spinach and this side was very well seasoned. It didn't take long to eat the three scallops and the spinach pieces in the rice. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but wished for even one more scallop. Since my entree was a special that was verbally announced, I didn't know the price until I saw the bill. While it was delicious, I found the $41 charge a bit steep. The Standard is exceptional in almost every way- service was impeccable, amazing food, lovely ambiance- but be prepared for a pricey evening. My friend and I had a very enjoyable time and I definitely recommend this restaurant. I will say, however, that it can be difficult to talk because it is so busy. That said, it's popular for a reason! Check out the photos below for a virtual experience.

    Sauder's Village Barn Restaurant…read more We've delighted in several visits to this property. Friday night Buffet was packed. We have greatly enjoyed National Conferences in US from Boston to San Francisco, and it is a joy to attend the Sons of American Revolution Conference at Sauder's Village in Archbold. Always something about hotel lobbies, fireplaces, and good friends that is satisfying. The Friday night buffet is BBQ, and following a week of Great Smokies's dining, we were eager to enjoy "German style" meals. Brisket was better than southern; pulled pork had no flavor; ribs were burned; great salad bar; very few veggies. Locals love this place and we recommend. Neat and different ambience. Servers are first rate. Large parking lot. Older couples are attracted to buffets.

Our salads were fresh, crisp and plentiful. Of course, I like the fact there are green olives available. Fried chicken was delicious (hubs favorite) and beef and noodles giving me thoughts of Sunday family dinners. Tapioca pudding and fruit slices with an iced tea completed our meal. Not to forget the ambiance of this restaurant. The waitstaff, interior and over all feeling take you back many years. Prices are fair, buffet is above average, friendly service and unique setting. They are open every day except Sundays and Mondays. Enjoy!

Menu has a lot of bar food choices, plus a few healthier options. We had 1/4 lb. cheeseburgers. 1/2 lb burgers are available. Delicious. Fries come with burgers.

I was impressed with the Grille as it relates to the lively atmosphere, great music, their attentive customer service aa well as the overall friendliness and warmth I have felt from the clientele, the owner and the staff. I have since returned several times to socialize, eat, have a Pepsi at the bar and talk to the other customers. But this is a special note about the quality of the food. It's absolutely (and consistently) delicious and delivered in generous proportions. It deserves the title "true home cooking" like my mom, who would be 90 years old, rest her soul, used to make. I'm quite confident even she would rate the food 5 stars +! I've also had the pleasure of inviting my family members there to eat with me and sharing takeout at home with my dad...and they have enjoyed it all commented the same. Hats off to the owner and the staff for consistently delivering fantastic food with a smile and at great prices!

    Stellar breakfast on a random Friday am. When they say…read moreWAIT! At the hostess stand they mean it- they will be out to grab you as soon as they clean up other tables- most likely for you. It's open, there is a bar to your right as you enter and lots of seating to your right and front. Can eat at bar. We sat, mimosas and bloodies available. Or for that matter- whatever you can think of. They have scotch eggs swimming in a bowl of gravy... yes gravy... and it was delicious. Definitely a Mexican "flair" with lots of black beans, sauces, etc. I stuck with a Belt sandwich - nice and crispy bread with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato. Friendly service and lots of value! Glad we found this spot since we are headed to Ohio a few times a year.

We did not have a good experience this time. Our bartender Shanna was less than enthusiastic about serving us. She had an attitude & was yawning Alot! We ordered margaritas, which were good as always. Then we ordered our dinner. i ordered the perch dinner W fries & coleslaw. The perch was good, the fries were way overdone & coleslaw bland. My friend ordered prime rib medium rare. The rib was served Medium to Medium well. Shanna took it away & brought a Médium rare one, which was much better. I almost forgot about the Horrible house salads she served us. She returned them & brought us the Cole slaw & Augratin potatoes. The mistakes were corrected, but totally changed our view of the Dark Horse. I hope improvements will be made!
