Stopped in here while taking a motorcycle ride and wasn't disappointed! I had the smoked bologna sandwich and the fries ! Very good and a very cool place to eat and grab a cold beer! Service was friendly and food was served pretty fast all though they wasn't super busy on a Sunday afternoon. Had a lot of cool guitars hanging on the wall and I imagine it would be a great place to watch a college football game or a Sunday game !! Meet the owner and he was a nice guy and suggested a few drinks and food ! If you're a local and haven't been here stop in. It may end being your hangout spot ! read more

OK Cafe - Smoked bologna sandwich and fries - A burger with a toasted bun, lettuce, tomato, and a beef patty is placed on a tray lined with newspaper-style paper. Next to the burger are a serving of French fries and a small packet of mustard. A partially filled Miller High Life beer bottle is also visible in the background, all set on a black metal outdoor table. - Cafes Near Me - Marion, Ohio

I forgot about my brother and sister in laws anniversary (45th). I remembered the fun times we had together as kids at the OK so I called the OK and asked them to do some special stuff for my brother and his wife and they did so well it made up for my failed memory. I live far from Marion now but the OK will always be a good memory for us. read more

No drafts or Ipa,s. This is a bar. How do you run out of beer on bike night? Geez yesterday I had a nice draft.

Fast, Friendly generous, and delicious! I appreciate that they have'nt raised prices, as alot of others have. I was surprised! I go all ready for sticker shock, as thats what I've had to get used to in the past few years! Left satisfied, and without buyer remorse for once. read more

Great bar. Great owners and the place looks great. The food pizza and subs are always good and good prices.

Very good calzone for only 6 bucks. thats all I had but I love calzones so this was very good for me.

Whatever you do DO NOT order the Cheeseburger pizza .!YUK everything about it was gross .and what was that shit that was suppose to be cheese.? read more

I got their steak sub sandwich, and it was absolutely terrible. The service was just fair. I probably will not return.

Walked in to a mostly empty restaurant with only a few staff members. We sat ourselves & the bartender/server was over quickly. He was very kind & handled all the guests that kept coming as we were there. Apps were subpar. The pretzel bites were half burnt half not. I found the seasoning to be strange but my husband liked it. The mozzarella sticks were good until the last one wasn't really cooked. We took our Meat lovers pizza & Breakfast pizza togo & they were very yummy. Cooked through & exactly how we ordered them. It is also a live music bar so i have a feeling we will be back. read more

Hello! Walked in & it's a very interesting place The service very good, our server bartender was great Food not bad but the appetizers were frozen food deep fried so not the best The pizzas are good The name is confusing Overall not bad read more

Just moved to Marion and have been trying local pizza to find one I like. I'm from Lancaster and we have several great local places. Best I've found so far is Ok Cafe. It's become our Friday date night for pizza and drinks. Relaxed and casual. Great service and staff. Great music and drinks. Hoping to check out some live music here at some point read more

Love the food and the drinks. Great outdoor seating for family and friends. I usually go once a month and I have yet or be disappointed... knock on wood. read more

Delivery is back at the OK. The order was fast and accurate and the driver was courteous and professional. This will cost me... read more

I live in Tennessee and when I return to Marion, Ohio to visit with the family I have the OK Cafe on my checklist to visit and enjoy their pizza every time. This visit was no different. It has tasted the same for many years. The other menu items are equally delicious, but I prefer the pepperoni pizza and a good draft beer. Go Brownies read more

Been here a couple of times now, and it's one place I would have found without Yelp- went with friends who live nearby. I had heard they had good barbecue. I heard right. It's a surprise, in a bar in Marion, but it's the real deal: slow-cooked meats. I wanted to try everything, so I got a combo. You can pick your own; I chose ribs and brisket. They were both very good. Tender, smoky brisket, and slightly tougher (read: just a little effort to pull apart) and tasty ribs. I've heard the pulled pork is good too. There are the usual sides. I had the baked beans, a good tangy multi-bean version; and the mac and cheese, which was up there with the best I've ever had. Also came with soft, sweet cornbread, and your choice of sauce. I liked the prairie fire; also tried the mustardy house sauce and a strawberry bbq, both good but just not what I was in the mood for. I stuffed myself, and still had a full meal to put in the to-go box... My friends had pizza and I stole a slice, which was pretty good. Service was good. The place is a cozy old bar/restaurant, lots of wood and seemingly all locals. read more

Pretty good pizza and nice little salad bar. It has a decent amount of space with a variety of table sizes to accommodate different size groups. They have some craft beers on tap, but if domestics are your jam, this place will fit your needs. The ladies restroom was kinda sad. The door to one of the stalls didn't even line up so that you could latch the lock. read more

It is a " hit and miss" with their pizza. Most time good... some time not.....would like to see more consistency in quality overall of the pizza...we usually order...pepperoni, onion, mushroom, bacon pizza....Many times it is piping hot the way we love it, but sometimes not. They sometimes add too many onions which over takes the taste of the pizza. It has the potential to be a 5 STAR if there was consistency. The crust is good, sauce good, bacon good, service ok.... Again..., most of the time. read more

Food was simply "ok"... nothing to write home about nor a draw to come back. Small menu, only one BBQ choice and it tasted like boughten pulled pork, not fresh. There was no flexibility in the platter either... strictly baked beans and coleslaw as sides. read more

OK Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Marion, Ohio

Recommended! O K Cafe is smoked meats and pizza - and both are good stuff. I was visiting with my son and as I pulled up it looked like a bar. It's all ages for lunch and dinner, but adults only after 10pm, so it worked out great. It's in an old building and the interior is exposed brick walls and old woodwork. It's got lots of character. The guy running the smoker knows what he's doing. I had the smoked prime rib with baked beans, collard greens, and cornbread. The prime rib was served with horseradish and au jus. The meat was extremely smokey, which I loved. The au jus was heavily seasoned and a great complement to the meat. The cornbread was decent and the beans were greeat. The collards were too vinegary for me. O K offers a dozen or more sauces for the meat from traditional sauces to thai peanut and strawberry bbq. I would like to try them all. O K had a decent selection of draft beers. Others in my group had ribs and pizza. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was great. I was in town for races at Mid-Ohio. read more

I was in for a birthday party for my sister, back in March. We came in fairly late, with quite a large group. On the plus side, we were accommodated quite nicely, and the staff was nice. On the negative side, service was slow, the alcohol selections were so-so and I overheard an employee say that if our group hadn't have been there, the place would have been fairly empty. As for the food, I swiped a slice of pizza from my cousin's order and was quite disappointed, as it seemed like the ingredients have taken quite the steep drop in quality. To top everything off, the owner and bar staff allowed my sister to drink until fully intoxicated and if it hadn't been for my cousin, an EMT, myself and several friends, she could have hurt herself, which showed a lack of care for their customers. This is all a distinct shame, as I had hoped that the place would turn around. read more

Stopped in a for business lunch yesterday. I've been here a few times before and the food was always great. My experience this time was not as stellar. They seemed to be short staffed and I think that may have been the root of the issues I experienced. While we were working and not watching the clock, the wait for our food seemed a bit long. I ordered the sandwich and side, pulled pork and coleslaw. I tend to be picky about coleslaw and this wasn't my favorite. The pulled pork was good, but was hugely messy for a working lunch. One of my pet peeves is having to wait for the check and wait we did. Again, they seemed to be short staffed on this day, but the wait for the check, and then to have the check picked up, was excruciating. I'll certainly give them another try, but this visit could have been much better. read more

I have been here several times over the last couple years and the food is ALWAYS outstanding. My family drives 1.5 hours from Toledo to meet up with my in-laws from Columbus and it is worth the trip every time. We get the BBQ feast plus wings (do NOT neglect their wings!) and it feeds 4 adults / 2 small kids no problem. We will continue to meet here for birthdays, Father's Day, etc. for a long time to come. read more

The service is very well trained and friendly, polite. The food is top notch, my favorite is the homemade shinny fries, wow is all I can say. Great appearance inside and out. read more

Awsome people great chicken wings. locals will enjoy the historical OK Cafe where everyone is treated like family. The portions of food are well worth the price of going. read more

New owner has changed everything. No more lunch pizza and salad buffet. Now they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. They used to open at 11am when they had the lunch buffet, but now they don't open until 3pm. I'm sorry, but I don't see this place succeeding. read more

Fantastic BBQ. Nice people. Fast service.

Visiting family from out of state and stopped in for pizza and salad. Great food and great service!! We left late and a staff member escorted us to our car. HIghly recommend. read more

I grew up in Marion and have many wonderful memories there, from the first Wrestlemania to several Super Bowls. It has changed over the years, and I haven't been back in about five years, but it's an establishment in M-Town, where local flavor is constantly steamrolled and replaced with big boxes and chain food. read more

Great pizza! Great service. Great price. $5 pizza on Mondays too! And a nice patio in the summer.

Found this place searching on Internet, glad I did! Excellent BBQ!

Myself and a group of classmates have met at the OK a few times and we received very good service and food on both occasions. I got pizza both times and it was very good...I think it is equal to or better than most pizza's in our area. Some of the others ordered appetizers and sandwiches and all seemed to enjoy what they got. This may not be exactly like the "old" OK but is very good and worth a second look for those who may have previously had a less than satisfactory experience in the past. read more

Thanks to Yelp reviews I took a chance and found the best ribs money can buy. Local place with a great menu and excellent food. Can't go wrong here read more

Food was excellent! We did a delivery order and they forgot one of the main dishes, when we called back they said they would send it over. Would eat there again! read more

Was here last Friday evening. The servers are not trained if at all. The food, The Moe sub, was two pieces of bun with thin, see-through, slices of some meat and pepperoni, lucky if it was 2oz. of meat. Lettuce, no way, pre-made salad chunks thrown on, no lettuce. The prices they charge should reflect a better fare. We had to ask for napkins, no setup by the waitress. The owner, seriously, should watch all seasons and episodes of Bar Rescue to learn about the business of running such an establishment. read more

The OK Cafe was one of the very first places I ate in Marion. In 2012 I was more than willing to make the trip for the BBQ alone. Fast forward four years and I have officially given up on this place. The menu has collapsed to one page with less than a dozen mediocre items. The smoked meats are gone. The pizza is beyond miserable...in a town that's famous for miserable pizza. The nachos are a few handfuls of broken corn chips with a foil takeout container half full of lukewarm cheese sauce on the side. The subs are sub par. The drinks are weak and far too expensive, and the draft beer list seems to get shorter every time I decide to give this dump another chance. It's a shame, really...the place has great bones and decades of local history, but that's all it's got going for it these days. I don't mean to wish anyone ill, but I hope the current owners go under soon. A little guidance and direction is all this place needs to be "OK" again, but I won't be back while it's under the current regime. read more

OUTSTANDING BBQ!! I can't believe this has been under my nose this whole time and I just now discovered it. Please go see for yourself.
