    Ham and turkey double decker
    Alan G.

    Found this place due to a couple of other restaurants being closed on a Monday. Very small "hole in the wall" place mom and pop place. They are only opened until 2 everyday so they serve breakfast all day with standard lunch items and some dinner plates. So I went with a coney and a 5 way and my wife for a double decker and cheese fries. When the food came out we were surprised the portion size and it was a lot of food as you can see from the pictures. The chili was a Cincinnati style and meaty and had a good taste. The coney was good but the bun was soggy and falling apart because there was sauce in the chili and not dried. The double decker was huge and I am particular on the ham as some places will use boiled ham which is not tasty but this ham had flavor. The turkey was not dried as well and had a good taste. The cost was reasonable to today's standard but you get a lot more food. The service was great and the waitress was helpful and told us when a good time to arrive to get a seat since this place was limited on seating. We will be going back to try other items on the menu.

    This was an adorable restaurant that actually serves breakfast all day perfect if you're craving breakfast at like 3pm. I got two eggs with ham and a side of home fries - well the term "home fries" is somewhat misleading since they are hash browns if we're being honest here - but it was quite yummy! My two "business associates" got a cheeseburger with the onion rings and a BLT which they said were fantastic. Vibes might seem a bit weird, at first, if you are under the age of 30, but overall, pretty cute place with good food and super friendly staff. Yeah I would eat here again.

    Great omelettes and service.  Ordered over medium eggs and they came perfect.

    Nice local place. Family owned with good food and service. Ordered over medium eggs and the were perfectly cooked!

    Goetta is a local thang. Potatoes were great, could not finish. Coffee is standard-issue, middle-America, watered down stuff.

    We stopped here for breakfast based on fellow yelper reviews. You guys did not let me down again. Clean, friendly restaurant with good-sized portions and reasonably priced. Extra points for a clean restroom. I am glad I asked for the daily special cuz it included goetta and you can only get it in these parts!

    breakfast special: 2 proteins, starch, other protein, other starches, coffees

    on the way back home from central america I got to feeling hungry about midday, I figured to get an oil change while taking a meal nearby except it's southwestern Ohio where oil is not changed on Sunday... fortunately, Nick's Place shows up on Yelp as close and reasonable on all counts to save the day! yea breakfast! It's a super casual seat-yourself type of place and I have a choice of a table for six or four; I opt for the small table and water, coffee, and a menu arrive shortly. breakfast special was satisfying: coffee black, 2 eggs up w/ bright yolks poking up from firm cooked whites, large pile of fried taters w/ onions, four halves of rye toast, plus a generous slab of goetta (a loose sausage consisting of ground porks, beefs, and pin oats with a taste reminiscent of farm life) and more coffee. finished with a bright yellow slice of meringuey lemon pie and more coffee. all in all Nick's is a nice family run place that sets a good table at a fair price. The staff is friendly and seem in good spirits, Nick is in the back, Mrs Nick is up front, and son-of-Nick is helping out with the tables. the decor is functional but not stark and most of the patrons are local and decent but a couple could be photo shopped and never be missed ;-)

    The food is great. Had the double decker ham and turkey and fries. The only thing preventing a Five star is purely one of taste for me personally. The fries had a slight taste of sharing oil with something else. Not a biggie. One other thing--this isn't a negative just something to be aware of. The double decker is so tall it is unmanageable. The sandwich came apart because the meat is stacked so high. I recommend the regular sandwiches if this is an issue.

The stuffed mushrooms? Yes! But the 8oz. Filet (medium plus) F*********** yes! Not only did the food serve well beyond my taste buds needs, the service was 10/10, the ambiance was, as they say, Lit, and the evening was great. If you haven't been here for dinner, stop trying to impress your partner with O'Charley's. I promise you, she'll enjoy the steak here more. ** visit the men's restroom for a weird chair **

    I went for lunch with two friends following a visit to nearby St. John's Cemetery. We arrived just…read morefive minutes after they opened at 11 am and were attended promptly. We were surprised the place got nearly full before noon on a Tuesday. Very classy old school ambiance including an attractive bar. It was romantically dark inside. We had just come in from a blazing summer morning and this atmosphere was welcome. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with added chicken. It was comforting but the chicken was pretty bland chunks. I was disappointed it did not have grill marks as my friend's grilled chicken sandwich did. My dish would have been so much more appealing with a little bit of parsley garnish and an offer of cracked pepper. My other friend had the soup & salad lunch and the goat cheese salad was a beautiful presentation. We all agreed the food was good, though there was no wow factor - other than those wavy French fries. Our waitress was pleasant and checked on us appropriately. She also cleared up the mystery of the restaurant's name; turns out that once upon a time, Harrison Avenue was known as Market Street. We couldn't help but notice the crowd was overwhelmingly in their golden years. I am early Generation X and I felt like I was in the youngest 10 percent of the patrons. This was a weekday early lunch so I'm sure the crowd is different at other times. I would likely check this place out again if in the vicinity.

    I can't say enough about the incredible Veterans Day experience O'Charley's put together this year…read more From the moment I walked in, it was clear this wasn't just another restaurant promotion--it was a genuine, heartfelt tribute. A table was set to honor those missing in action, thoughtfully arranged by our waitress's young daughters. There was a raffle raising funds for Honor Flight, handwritten thank-you cards for every veteran, and even a small star cut from a decommissioned U.S. flag--each with a message of gratitude. It was powerful and humbling, and honestly, it nearly brought me to tears. The food itself was excellent--hot, flavorful, and served with real pride--but what stood out most was the respect and care woven into every detail of the day. O'Charley's didn't just serve a meal; they created a moment that reminded every veteran in the room that their service still matters. To everyone involved: thank you. You turned a simple lunch into something truly memorable.

    Me and my boyfriend went here only because it had been probably atleast 5 years since we were last…read moreat a o charleys it was on mother's Day so they were packed but we were seated pretty quickly.the service it took them about 10 minutes to get to us to take our order but our waiter was nice but she was definitely overwhelmed with her section.my food was okay it was like a steal penne Alfredo the sauce was very bland the asparagus was not cooked enough the steak was seasoned well but kind of tough honestly to me the best part was the warm bread with butter at the beginning my boyfriend said his ribs were good though. the ambiance was good tables could use a good cleaning but the bathroom was atleast clean overall an okay experience.

    We went for Valentine's Day dinner, so yes, I know it's going to be crowded, but the service sucked…read moreand it was poorly run. We had reservations. Hostess asks for my name, finds my reservation, and says she doesn't know how long it's going to be. Then another lady grabs the tablet from her and yells at her to stop seating walk ins when they're fully booked with reservations and they have no tables. Needless to say we were not seated anywhere near our reservation time. Our waitress was typical of the current terrible service in the restaurant industry. Takes order, brings drinks, and you never see them again until they bring the check. They have food runners bring the food out, so if you need anything, they just look at you like a deer in the headlights and walk away. We really liked the food, which is why I gave 4 stars. The pretzel with beer cheese appetizer is worth driving there for. The burger was very tasty and prepared well. I'll agree with other people in that it is a little too pricey. The appetizers shouldn't be the same price or higher than entrees, and the $3+ sodas are just ridiculous. I can see how some people think it's too loud in there, but I guarantee tonight was as packed as they get, and we didn't think it was too bad. I like the style of the place and the seats were pretty comfy. We would eat here again if we're in the area.

    Friends took us to lunch at Red Squirrel. I was like, "what's that?!" (I'm not from around here )…read moreShe said,"it's been around a looong time. The grills are nice and seasoned." Lol Ambiance was old strip mall dining. Funny signs throughout. Plenty of seating. I hadn't eaten yet so I ordered breakfast even though it was lunchtime. Thin slice Ribeye steak with 2 eggs over medium, potatoes and my favorite-rye bread. Hubby got a cheeseburger and fries. Someone else wanted to try their chicken and waffles. Let me just say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good my food was. My eggs were perfect, the steak was very flavorful, hubby said his burger was delicious. Our friends daughters are picky eaters and they loved their burgers with Grippo's chips. And the chicken and waffles was a hit as well. I would go back. There's something to be said for places that have been around forever that locals frequent. The only thing I would say is that it was kinda smokey from the grills. Would be nice if they had better ventilation for cooking smoke. Don't wear your good clothes cuz you'll smell like a diner! Lol

Prices here are reasonable and they were packed. We were able to get seated quickly which was good. I had the 3 bean chili to start off with and I was surprised it had ground beef which I never had at the other place and I also had patty melt which I like how they made it, putting the rye bread in the griddle. My wife had 1/2 sandwiched and soup which she liked. So we will be coming back again during lunch.
