Owl fries.
Samantha K.

Love the concept but wasn't impressed. $25 for basically chicken and fries seems outlandish. A friend got the burger and said he would've rather had a McDouble. My other friend swore by the chicken and waffles tho!! Food was definitely fresh but for the crowd of people and price not worth it in my opinion. (Waitress was so sweet tho).

It's 3 in the morning, and for whatever reason, YOU ARE HUNGRY! Despair not! Keep calm and simply follow this 12 step program: 1. Walk into Night Owl Diner, located at Sylvania and Secor. 2. Mosey on up to the counter. 3. Check out the menu. 4. Give your order to the friendly counter attendant. 5. Pay for your meal. 6. Take a seat. 7. Wait for a short time. 8. Notice the waitress sauntering over to bring you your food. 9. Eat a terrific meal. 10. Finish at your own pace, perhaps getting a refill, or two, of your coffee or pop. 11. Tip the waitress who has been checking on you the whole time. 12. Say, as you're walking out, "Have a good night. I'll be back." There you go. You're no longer hungry. Problem solved. Notice that because you paid in advance, after you've finished eating, you don't have to sit around waiting for your check and possibly your plastic. Although not everyone likes this service model, I personally do. If I'm being honest, SO FAR the food has rated about 4 stars, BUT... Allyson the waitress (cool, friendly), the concept (all-night diner in the heart of the Toledo metro area), and the atmosphere (comfortable with demure lighting) combine to give Night Owl Diner a fifth star. I would also say that Night Owl is on the expensive side. But, hey that's the price you pay for the convince of getting a good meal at 3 am! FIVE STARS!

So the second time we went they no longer have table service. Sad. Really thought this place could be the new late nite spot, instead it's just a carryout.

Clean, casual, friendly place. Food was hot and well prepared. Portions were filling. Will cost an average of $15-20 per person (not a complaint). Overall, I think the prices are reasonable. For a RECOMMENDATION, I suggest The Owl Fries!!! I don't know how they took basic ingredients (we've all had loaded fries, come on...) and made them fantastic, but The Night Owl did!! P.S. The staff was the BEST, seriously.

A decent late night diner with a good menu and decent service.The place isnstamdard looking nut what do you expect from a late-night dinner.Good place to grab takeout and sit late night to chat with friends.Will be back in due time

Owl fries with bacon.

A solid, comforting, reliable spot for casual late night dining. The food was simple, in the best way possible. When I ordered a Nutella waffle, I was expecting a huge hodgepodge of garbage on my plate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a very simple waffle drizzled with a couple of syrups and topped with powdered sugar and sweet cheese. Not overwhelming, but still appropriately delicious, as one would hope a waffle would be! Also, the owl fries are to die for. Another simple take on loaded French fries complete with queso, sour cream, bacon, and chives. Absolutely delicious, not nauseatingly enormous, and perfect for a casual late night comfort bite with a friend or solo. The ambiance of the place is perfect. Low lighting, friendly staff, and comfortable seating options. I would say this diner strikes the perfect balance between junk/comfort food and reasonable portions. Would recommend, 10/10!

So very good! Better than Hangover Easy and they're fantastic! Even those shredded hash browns that need ketchup and taste so-so elsewhere- here they are fantastic all on their own, golden and full of flavor! Amazing breakfast sandwich, amazing waffles, amazing loaded fries, amazing service. The atmosphere is fantastic- low lighting, chill music.. Perfect vibe.

It takes a lot of work to be that miserable, cranky and grumpy…read moreWaitress hated us, hated life? Hated the job?? Just nasty And Apple crumble was BAD Bad experience.. when someone treats you that poorly, you never go back

Tried the pies: vanilla peanut butter pie had pronounced vanilla flavor but not overwhelming, nice…read morerich peanut butter flavor you'd expect and the crème topping was a nice light taste that was balanced - the crust however was surprisingly bland and tasteless. Not sure if I expected a honey taste or a typical flaky crust taste what I didn't expect was a complete void of any taste at all. The chocolate peanut butter pie was a bit different had a basic chocolate pudding taste but lacking a huge chocolate flavor like the deep flavor in the vanilla version, shockingly it was lacking was an overall peanut butter flavor while eating the pie unlike its vanilla counterpart where every bite had the PB flavor prevalent in every bite the chocolate version the PB was glaringly absent a big disappointment, the crème topping was balanced and pleasant but thick dominating the flavor of this pie - again the crust however was surprisingly bland and tasteless. Researching menus and the pie history I believe the way it used to be done and now has changed in the past the crème topping was 1/2 the thickness and the PB combo pies had a distinct PB layer between the flavored bottoms and the crème toppings that are lacking in current versions. Past crusts were distinct thickness approx twice the thickness as current versions and a whole different color much browner which would indicate it would have the "flaky" texture you'd expect from their style of pies which currently completely lack any real texture and:or flavor...perhaps it's my batch perhaps I'm being too picky I'm not a pie eater per say but I do know my crusts and what to expect out of a beloved establishment with a rich history in pie making - remember your roots and what made you famous to begin with all the good service in the world won't win you new customers with these pies unfortunately - sadly I cannot recommend these pies for dessert it pains me to write this because I was so happy to see them rebound after the fire - was my first visit as well adding to my disappointment my mum raved about them so expectations were high but alas they failed every level this particular visit - added the picture from your own menu of what I was expecting for visual representation - bring back the past flavors and flaky crust PLEASE!!! PS: Doug & Betty thank you for your reach out and responding to my review it's nice to know owners read reviews - wish more did - I certainly look forward to coming back and giving it all another try - I generally hate leaving bad reviews but also believe in honesty and sharing good and bad, you can't improve what you don't know is wrong - Blessings

Ambiance was what's you'd expect from a good dinner - as soon as you walk in your greeted by hello…read moreby many with a smile - excellent - for a busy location restaurant was extremely clean with plenty of seating and all tables cleared and cleaned - walls have plenty of things to admire and talk about while you look at menu, order, wait for food fun time - had the Western omelette - no pictures sorry - I received Avery clean plate with well prepared food - the omelette was perfectly prepared with exceptional technique in folding and presentation almost artistic - ingredients were plentiful - nice size ham chunks easy to eat, onions and peppers were diced to a nice size with good flavors obvious fresh - they used sliced cheese rather than shredded but still had nice flavors and juice taste with each bite sliced cheese tends to make bites a bit drier slight ding - homefries were a bit underdone for me I like my potatoes a bit soft, and could have used some salt and pepper to rid the Bland taste - coffee was decent not very acidic - waitress was extremely friendly and attentive - portions were above average and right for a diner - you can't go wrong whether alone or with a friend or group you'll have great food at a modest price with excellent service - I'd definitely recommend this place for all ages and all varying tastes play of options to please everyone - Bon Appetite!!
