Question: Who does…read morenot enjoy a good donut!? I am not speaking of a donut from your local DUNKIN (this is not a shot, dunkin-your iced coffee is boss! Lol). This spot got a second date out of me,and this time in, I wanted to show some yelp love. I have been to Lima Ohio more than I would like to share for reasons that are my own. Lol But finding this donut shop as I headed to the expressway was a joy! It's really simple. There is fried dough. There is fried dough flavored assorted items in all the ways fried and assorted lol(did you catch that?) And there is plenty of ways to have your fried dough at PAT'S! The word is that this place has multiple locations and Lima has 2. This location was my first stop. *waving at Adrianne* Adrianne works at this location and answered all my questions. She was so kind. Being I am a resident of Illinois, I was passing through for the last time in my life (I pray), I wanted a particular donut to bring home. They were out. No worries I shared, I will ride over to the other location I stated. Adrianne called for me! She was a doll! However, NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. *crying*. We were gonna see if they had the wonderfully fried dough at the other location, however after 4 calls, no one picked up. And guess what, they are open 24 hours!!! So strange. So, we grabbed a couple boxes of fried yum yum, and still drove over to the other location. New location-2102 Elida Road, Lima Ohio. There I spoke with Erica, after waiting 5 minutes for anyone to come and service me, in an empty doughnut shop with no customer's inside. Hmmmmm...*thinking*... Pretty busy place? The phone as I am waiting to see a human, is ringing off the charts!!!!!! And it does not stop! Nor did I see anyone answer it. It just kept ringing. Well, that answered the questioned about Adrianne calling and what the end result was at the other shop. When Erica emerged from the back, She greeted us. I explained i had come over from the other shop. And unfortunately the fried dough I came over to this location for-they were out of it as well. Apple fritters are clearly a hit! I know, I had 1 before. Lol! They are big, fresh fruit, nothing like I have eaten as an adult from the donut shops near my home! SO GOOD. I asked why no one ever answered the phone, she said they were busy with "DoorDash orders". They also sell breakfast sandwiches, breakfast pizzas, dessert pizzas.. Assorted sandwiches, soups and ice cream(soft serve). They have a variety of yum yum in this small spot. There were several workers in the back though... not sure what happened with those phone calls. But Erica was kind, she answered all my questions and even tossed a pastry in my bag on the house. *SCREAMING* THANK YOU ERICA! So, if yiu are ever in Lima Ohio for whatever reason, stop in and enjoy SOMETHING, as there is alot to choose from. But i suggest getting their sour dough doughnut/cream cheese donut. I place mine in the microwave for a few seconds to make it soft and warm.. OMG!!!! DEEEELIGHTFUL! As always, you don't have to take my word for it, GO GET YOU SOME!

As for the donuts we got mostly "filled sticks" which are long icing filled and covered with icing donuts. We loved the triple chocolate. Yum!

But on the verge of starving to death, we ordered simple breakfasts and they were a delight. Sausage, egg and biscuit all tasted great and Mrs. E's Croissant Breakfast sandwich was light and airy with wonderful flavours. What a pleasant surprise! A little cold stone creamery contraband and we were back on the road. Try the Cake Batter Sprinkle ice cream sandwich or the Savory Strawberry shake. Both excelled on the yum scale. The folks here were adequately friendly. No warmth, but professional. Over the years I've come to discover that some folks are overly friendly/outgoing and some grunt and barely give you the time of day. As long as they are doing their jobs, I'm satisfied. No report on the ambiance, but the drive thru was fast and efficient. A big thumbs up to this TH! BACKGROUND: If you're new to the world of Tim Horton's, Tim's is currently Canada's largest "quick service restaurant chain". The bake shops are Canadian in origin but can be found in about a dozen states in the Eastern/Midwestern U.S. They are also represented in a few foreign countries such as Ireland, The Philippines, Qatar and even China. Yes, they are best known for coffee and donuts but offer quite a bit more. A small selection of breakfast/lunch sandwiches, soups, paninis and wraps. Baked goods include donuts, cookies, muffins and Timbits, their signature bite sized donut holes. STEVEN E. weighs in: It's a matter of apples and oranges with me. Visit a Tim's and you'll understand it's a totally different animal than a krispy creme or a duncan donuts. I review TH locations by comparing them to other TH locations and use TH standards. 06/24

I had never eaten at a Tim Horton's until I moved to Ohio. There were none in my area. If you…read morewanted donuts it was either Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. So one day while I was making my way around , I passed by a Tim Horton's and decided to give it a try. Since then I have eaten at or from Tim Hortons at least 5-6 times since moving up here. This one is located in Lima, OH almost an hour from where I live. I usually eat here if I make a shopping trip into Lima either to have a meals, a snack to keep me going, or to take a box of donuts home with me. It's conveniently located to stores I frequent in Lima. It should also be noted, that it also doubles up as a Coldstone Creamery, which is pretty versatile if you think about it. Still I would love to give it a better rating than 3 stars, it's just that my experiences here run the range from great to terrible. I have received both good service here and really bad service. I once had a time where I was given a box of donuts with seemingly random choices and with donuts I did not order and like... something I did not find until I got home. I will also say that I am not thrilled with the donuts either... although they sometimes come up with some cool innovative ones (Oreo cookie donut, Fruit loops donut), I prefer the taste of Dunkin. Their iced coffee, though, heavenly! One of the best I ever consumed anywhere. Definitely worth buying! I also do prefer their breakfast sandwiches to Dunkin. But, they are only slightly better. All except for one, I had the first time I came. They had a limited time breakfast sandwich which was a maple waffle breakfast sandwich, omg! If that was a permanent item, i would up my review just for that. It is certainly worth a try.

J and I were driving around Lima, eagerly hoping to come across the green siren and secretly wishing that we wouldn't have to resort to caffeine from the golden arches. While Starbucks doesn't seem to have made it to Lima yet (I am hopeful - they just got a 5 Guys and a Chipotle this year!), Biggby Coffee stepped in nicely. A lot of their menu looks to be very sweet coffee drinks (ala s'mores lattes and the like), but they do have a great selection of Harney & Sons teas and do make non-fat and soy lattes. This location even had Splenda! And glorious free WiFi, which was welcomed after a few days of the worst T-Mobile reception in history. Plus, their staff were the friendliest people I had encountered all weekend. I'm impressed, Biggby Lima! I'll most likely be seeing you next Thanksgiving!

It was very hot outside, and I was starting to feel sick. She kept trying to say she could remake it again, but I said no, thank you, I don't feel good, and said I had taken too much of her time. She then got mad and yelled at us to never come back. All because she couldn't get the drink right

The Met has a policy that your server gets to proudly wear a crown if their name is mentioned in a five star review. Love that policy!! Wear it proudly Ashely!! The Met is a unique building downtown Lima. It was built in the late 1880's and was originally home to the The Metropolitan Bank. It has since been morphed into a restaurant with very attractive original features. The wood floors and plaster ceilings...along with the attractive decor really enhance the dinning experience! The team here is very friendly, professional and welcoming. Ashley was outstanding. She hustled, knew her menu and had great recommendations. Ashley was very attentive and helped us enjoy the evening. I appreciated Liz stopping by and welcoming us. Liz shared lots of history and helped us appreciate the facility. The Met has a large food menu that has something for everyone. They have a large selection of beverages and specialty cocktails. All at reasonable prices. We started with a couple of Mule drinks. One was a designer St. Patrick's Day Mule and their specialty Met Mule. Both were very tasty, cool and refreshing . We started with the Focaccia bread appetizer. It had a lightly golden/chewing top with a soft and moist inside. Liz said that they make the bread fresh three times a day. The bread had a slight olive oil taste with a mild amount of Italian herbs. The soft whipped butter was a nice add. The side salad had lots of fresh spring greens. There was a few tasty tomatoes and lots of stronger tasting onions. The thin Parmesan cheese shreds were an excellent touch. The house ranch dressing was very smooth/light/creamy moderately thin with a mild ranch taste. My wife had the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. The crust was thin and crispy. She really liked the ranch house made sauce and how it accented the meat toppings. I had the Met Meatloaf which had an outstanding meat flavor. The meat was made with Italian sausage which had a slightly spicy kick. It was moist and tender to go along the beefy taste. The smooth red sauce on top was slightly sweet & spicy. It accented the meat nicely. The mashed potatoes were real with lumps, eyes and minute peel pieces. Very smooth and delicious! The grilled asparagus had a slight crisp to go along with the tender stalk. Not much seasoning detected...just a nice olive oil taste. Overall a fantastic dinner experience. We sat street level and watched the pedestrians come & go while enjoying the decor of this unique facility! The menu is large and the food and drinks are outstanding. A special trip to The Met in downtown Lima is worth a try!
