We had a Foodie card for $10 off a $40 purchase, so we decided to give Smokehouse 734 a try…read more We arrived between 6:30 and 7 on Sat evening. We were seated right away. Menu looked decent with various food choices, full bar, numerous tvs playing different things; so we thought a good food experience was in the making. We ordered ribs (1/3 rack) with a half salad $18.98 and the rib combo with brisket and baked sweet potato $26.98. A couple years ago, I was in the Houston TX area for a couple months and I was introduced to Texas BBQ - I fell in love with a particular BBQ restaurant in Spring TX. Meat there is always, juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender and is only open until they run out of BBQ meats for the day (which usually happens on a daily basis). Sadly, Smokehouse 734 didn't even come close on the expectations I had for good BBQ in the Toledo area. The Brisket didn't even look like it was smoked - no bark on the meat at all, no truly define smoke ring, and the fat cap / meat was almost cool to the touch. Usually when brisket is smoked properly and you pick up a slice, it will bend with the juices dripping. This was not the case at Smokehouse 734. The brisket portion was 2 slices that barely covered a slice of bread. My serving of ribs still had the silver skin attached and had to work to get the meat off the bone - not able to pull the bone out of the meat. Ribs were a tad bit warmer than the brisket, but definitely not fresh off the smoker by any means. Cornbread was a bit dry (crumbly) but had a decent flavor. With all this said, probably the best part of my meal was the baked sweet potato at the ala carte price of $4.99. My search for a legit BBQ restaurant in NW Ohio / SE Michigan continues...

The brisket taco's were good I would say 5 out of 10, my husband said 7 or 8 out of 10, the only thing I didn't understand with that was the huge portion of tortilla chips that were under the big chips laid small pieces like they came from the end of the bag. They were just there looking at you like eat me. I was looking at them like hell nah you're dry AF.

I was here for a committee meeting on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. The service was excellent and our server checked in because I mentioned that I would place an order before leaving. The ambiance is rather rustic and casual. The theme of frogs is everywhere without being annoying. Most people in our group ordered drinks and appetizers, and the coconut shrimp appetizer looked delicious. I ordered a large vegetable pizza with extra cheese to go. It was fabulous!! I'm not sure if the garlic made a difference or whether it wzs the generous amount of vegetable toppings, but it was definitely amazing! I had been here before and had forgotten how absolutely delicious the pizza is at Frog Leg Inn. Check it out!!

Decided to check it out after working from a local library. Upon walking in, the ambiance is welcoming and casual. The wood floors looked very clean and it just felt clean. Since I was here mid-afternoon, the back part of the restaurant was closed, so I took a seat at one of the bar high tops. My server was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Baja Chicken Rollup without bacon and with ranch dressing on the side. It came out pretty quickly. And did I mention that I also had the fries?! The fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked so that they weren't too crispy or too soft. They were addictive! The sandwich was also amazing, though secondary to the fries. The side of ranch dressing was perfect. The condiments were served in small plastic containers, which were a reminder that this was great food in a bar and grill. Everything was very tasty though and I don't mean to discount the food or service, as it was top notch. Definitely recommend! Check out the pictures below!

Instead, the same burger was taken back to the kitchen, recooked, and part of it was brought back to the table. The manager came out and defended the decision to recook and re-serve a burger that had already been served and eaten from. I did not consider that an acceptable food-safety practice, so I declined to eat it or pay for it. We also ordered the jalapeño popper dip. The menu description did not mention meat, but there was unidentified meat in the dip. Overall, the food-handling concerns and lack of ingredient transparency were enough for us to decide we will not be returning.

Thankfully Siena came to my table's rescue and did a great job even with tables on the patio and in the dinning room!

I can't think of a single reason to go to Charlie Mops. Expect them to nickel and dime you for…read moreeverything. I haven't used the restroom, but it wouldn't surprise me if they charged a dollar to use it, another dollar for toilet paper, and another dollar to wash your hands. Oh yea, if you use a credit card (like almost everyone does), be prepared yet another charge for that. There's no reason reason to waste your time or money for mediocre food and service at Charlie Mops when you can literally just walk across the street and get a great meal at Mason Jar. There are several other places close by that are better options. Stay away from this dump. I gave Charlie Mops one star because there's not a ZERO star option!

Don't get me wrong, this is a bowling alley with bar food, but the attention to detail and homemade aspects shine through in ways that leave you wanting more.

It's usually the wait staff... They always get the eggs just right and I've never been served a broken yolk (are you listening other breakfast places?). Over-easy eggs don't have broken yolks. Their crispy hashbrowns are just that, crispy! They're not gray or half cooked potatoes. The toast is made of high quality rye bread (Schwebel's?) with plenty of butter (and it's always perfectly toasted). THE HAM!!! Oh my god, the ham! This isn't some awful ham roll, no no! It's a slice from an actual ham! Real HAM! I was told it's Dearborn ham and I'd bet that it is. If you're not familiar, Dearborn makes great stuff. So, my issues... Not sure, but the coffee seems like it changed. It's weaker now and lacks the flavor from the coffee I remember from the past. They also stopped garnishing the plates with a slice of orange. I LOVED that slice of orange. Finally, the wait staff. They have some great waitresses but every once in a while, I get one that really doesn't know how it works. Because the server can really screw up a meal, I've avoided going back for months at a time. One time the waitress brought everything except the toast. I started eating the ham and potatoes. By the time she brought the toast, the eggs were cold and I couldn't eat them. She still charged my though. Didn't go back for a year, I swear. It's really important to always bring the complete meal. If the toast chef was asleep at the wheel and the entire breakfast becomes ice cold, have the line re-fire the order. It's not the customer's fault. Anyway, it's a nice, family place. Things usually go well, but there are those times... Oh, the place gets crazy busy on weekend mornings, especially with the after church crowd, so go early or plan on a wait.
