Service was friendly and good. Ans the food was also good. Any sandwich can be made into a wrap, which was great. Sadly, the "seasoned fries" had no seasoning we could taste or see, but they were crispy, which worked for me, in spite of the lack of Heinz ketchup.

I have been eyeing this place and finally was able to visit, rustic sporty vibe…read more Food; Started with the loaded Totes that are really good, and fully loaded not stingy with the toppings.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, the food, the beverages, and everything. I requested a drink off the menu, a Moscow Mule, and it was so good.

It's really cool and we look forward to coming again. Glad to support stand alone, entrepreneurial businesses and have a good time too.

Don't go if you're in a hurry…read more I've stopped here twice on consecutive weeks, and have received great food each time. Last week, I chose the Tuna Melt with Fresh Fries. The sandwich was perfect The tuna salad was delicious! The bread grilled perfectly, and the cheese melted through. This week, I chose the Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich with fries. Again, the sandwich was delicious! A standard GFS style chicken breast served on a perfectly toasted bun with a generous portion of tomato and lettuce. Both weeks the fresh cut fries were the perfect "fair style" fry: brown, not too salty, crispy outside, fluffy inside. Both weeks, the servers were delightful! Very accommodating! Very attentive despite them being overwhelmed with tables. My drinks weren't kept filled because of it, but they were refilled eventually both times. Now for the negatives: As others have mentioned; this place has an open seating plan. For a first timer, it's confusing to see where the seating is because as you walk in you walk into the bar, and the seating is off to each side, and is hard to see open tables. Secondly, this leads to an uneven dispersal of patrons and thus some waitresses seem to be overwhelmed while other's seemed to be standing around. Final assessment: The food is terrific! 5 stars! The service would be 5 stars if they worked out the kinks on their seating. 3 stars. The decor is dated. The pictures on the wall were from 20-25 years ago and were faded. It could use a little freshening up. But my chief complaint is the service times. My first trip took a little over 2 hours for a tuna melt and fries. The second trip took and hour and thirty-five minutes for a chicken sandwich. I stars for food and waitresses. Minus 2 stars for the wait times...

Hello. First, I want to say that I am a big fan of your food--my son introduced me to your…read morerestaurant, and we usually love your chicken and banana pudding. However, I am writing to share concerns regarding the food and service we received this past Tuesday. We placed an order for two slider meals, three slider meals, and loaded fries. We were also billed for pudding that we did not ask for, totaling around $37. When we received the food, the quality was surprisingly poor: - The sandwiches were thin, burnt, and completely cold, despite us living only 10 minutes away. - The meal looked carelessly thrown together. - The pudding contained a large, strange white chunk with a chewy texture (I have photos of all these items if you would like to see them). Additionally, the wait time was over 35 minutes, despite being told it would take 10 to 15 minutes. We also noticed one of the cooks was wearing a tank top, which raised some health department and hygiene concerns for us. As a fellow small business owner, I am sharing this constructively so you are aware of these issues and can address them. I wrote this in a message to them on Facebook over a week ago. They read it within an hour, but yet never responded about anything.

Delicious pizza in the Columbus style thin crust with pepperonis that curl up a little. Wings were tasty although I preferred the pizza.

I saw them putting pizzas into the ovens and taking them out, and it all looked incredibly tasty.) I did check out the game room, though, and I grabbed a cup of the Philly water ice. I think Lakebound Pizza is one of the only places in the area to find Philadelphia water ice, which they keep in a little freezer in the store. You'll find at least half a dozen flavors. I chose mango. It was icy cold and yummy, and the perfect frozen treat for a hot day. Like I mentioned, I also checked out the game room that they have here. It's a relatively new development, but they have a few arcade games, a basketball shoot game, and a selfie station. It's a neat little place in Buckeye Lake to hang out, play some games, get some pizza and Philly water ice, and enjoy your stay. What's even more surprising is that Lakebound Pizza has a huge gift shop on site. It's connected to the game area. So if you're looking for some lake-life goodies to take home, this is a place to find that.

Tonight, I found out they charged me $.86 for a packet of mayonnaise for an Italian sub and an extra $1.00 for some red onions on a small salad. In a previous order, I contacted the company via email because I hadn't seen any onions in the salad. The manager responded quickly by sending me clips of their security cameras showing the cook chopping onions and adding them to the salad. I admit there were onions in the salad after stirring it up, but they didn't seem more than the usual amount in a normal salad. It's laughable that the manager took the time to review security footage instead of just refunding the $1.00 charge and saying from now on, that fee will be added. Against my better judgment, I kept ordering, but tonight, I was charged again for the packet of mayo. I spend at least $25 a week there, often more, and these two instances leave such a bad taste in my mouth. While companies are free to charge whatever they want, frivolous charges like these really hurt the relationship for me. Tonight was the final straw with the $.86 mayo charge. I understand that maybe their business is struggling in this economy and maybe they need the money, but I hope it was worth losing so much more. From now on, I'll be using many other pizza places in town!
