    "Veal" (aka pork tenderloin) Sandwich
    Lynne G.

    We were on a quest to try a veal sandwich in the Hocking Hills area & after a few strike-outs we found the Paint Grill. ...and oh-my-goodness it made the search worthwhile. First, a veal sandwich is a complete misnomer -- it's actually a pounded pork tenderloin which is then breaded and deep fried. We've had these sandwiches in Iowa & Indiana (which claim to be the originals), but my fiancee & I both agreed Ohio does it best. Served with my choice of mayo and pickle on a lightly toasted bun, it's totally worth blowing the calorie budget. Our server revealed the pork is prepared on-site: pounded, hand breaded, and deep fried. They serve it with chips, but if you can actually eat the entire sandwich, you probably won't have room for the chips anyway. There's also a nice selection of cold beer, sodas, and 'everyday' liquors. Definitely local, and definitely awesome!

    Went here not knowing what to expect. I ordered the papermaker burger and fries. The patties were fresh and the entire meal was delicious! I am not from the area, but if I were back in town I would make it a point to stop back in and have this meal again. The bartender was also delight. She was funny and very friendly. I also enjoyed visiting with all the regulars at the bar.

    Food and service are good. This is, definitely, a "dive bar." Not a place to go if you are in a hurry.

If you're expecting anything fancy you're in the wrong bar. The service is average which makes it comparatively good. Any bar in this town is a dive bar. It's just called being realistic. This place isn't much different except that it's the most popular because it's named for the only reason most people know anything about this town. If you're going at any other time of the year it's usually not too busy. They of course have pumpkin flavored beer, cocktails, and shots. It's about $3 for something like an old fashioned. The prices are pretty good, which makes it worth checking out. I would go to Tootle's the next time in Circleville. If you're there at the festival expect it to be filled to the gills. The rest of the year has some good shows too.

A bunch of us Columbusites went down to Roundtown last night to see Wayne "The Train" Hancock (with Whitey Morgan and the Old 78's) at Tootles. It's a pretty nice bar/music venue, with ample standing room and plenty of local flavor. I wouldn't say rush down to Circleville when nothing is going on there, but if there's a show you want to see, this is a comfy and friendly venue. I do think it's hilarious that the Circleville Pumpkin Festival is such a big deal - ze boy and I were slightly weirded out by it (and the general lack of pumpkin-ness!) when we went on its last day a couple weeks ago, but I won't knock the only major thing Circleville, OH is known for. I will say, though, that the legacy lives on at Tootle's, which uses the pumpkin as a theme on its tshirts, for its drinks, etc etc. (I wasn't drinking, so I can't tell you about that part, except that my friends were downing tall boys of beers I didn't know came in tall boys - Miller High Life, for example)... Anyway, I like the space, as its large, open, and friendly. I enjoyed watching hipsters mingle with rockabillies mingle with townies mingle with my metalhead/Columbus freak friends. Everyone seemed to get along, and everyone knew all the words to Wayne the Train's songs, which made it even more fun. Like I said, this is a good local venue/pub. If you're in town, and looking for a good place to go, I'd say go here. But you can find the same in Columbus without driving 45 minutes, so just keep that in mind. Tootles does seem to have a lot of quality country/southern rock shows going on, so if you like that kind of music, definitely take a look at their schedule. I definitely recommend Wayne Hancock and Whitey Morgan. And of course, Tootles, should you be in Circleville!

I enjoyed their "American Lager" and attended a few Zoom calls, wrote a bunch of emails and basically hung out here. If I hadn't already had lunch, the $9 burger fries and drink special would have been awesome. Next time, for sure. This was a really super place. Comfortable, great beer and speedy wifi.

First we walked into this bright happy chill vibe brewery with a large selection of all different varieties on tap. We were immediately greeted by Valerie who explained what they have on tap, that we ordered through the bar, and what their specials were. I ended up having a peach ring drink, he ended up having 2 or 3 beers, and I bought a growler of their spiced imperial to go. We were on a mission to try chili all over Ohio so Valerie recommended the chili beer cheese fries and Cincinnati chili double cheese burger which were out of those world good! It was their own cool twist on Cincinnati's unique version of chili that we loved. I would have bought a growler of that beer cheese if I could haha. I had a fun jalapeño popper fried chicken sandwich special they were offering and it phenomenal, I could have eaten 2. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful with a nice big flavorful crunchy batter. We ate every bit of everything. We can't wait to go back! Amazing everything.
