7layer dip
Georgina N.

Drew did an excellent job. Good was great. We've never been here before but this def won't be the last!

Interior bar area

This was a cute little place that had a bar area along with indoor seating for high top and low top tables. It was clean and set up well for flow of patrons. We got there at 11 am and it was empty but by 1130 it was over half full. Bartender was friendly and allowed my friend to try several different beers on tap and was patient as we decided what to eat. This place had one of my very favorite drinks which is Cider Boys so that alone gave this place a leg up for me! We ordered shrimp tacos which had good flavor and shrimp was tender and a fair portion size. We also ordered a blackened grouper sandwich with American cheese and sweet potato tots. The fish had wonderful flavoring and I really liked the seasoning...not too salty not too spicy and the portion of sweet potato tots was huge. Price was fair but as we all know prices just keep going up! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area for sure.

Wings

My friends and I decided to stop in here after a long day of riding coasters at Cedar Point! When we walked in we were greeted by one of the wait staff. Our waiter was Brad. He has an interesting personality that took us a bit to get use to. He did a great job at our table and was always on top of it! Our table ordered a lot of stuff! We had 3 appetizers. 2 buffalo chicken dips and their 7 layer dip. All of which were really good. We had an array of food from wings, burgers, lobster roll and chicken and waffles. The best thing by far was the chicken and waffles. I've had a lot of chicken and waffles but this place had one of the best I've ever had. The waffles were made of a special batter that made them amazing. I am not sure if they were worth 24$ but they were amazing. The lobster roll was decent but not incredible. Burgers were just okay and the fries were thin but good. Overall this place is a good bar place with great priced drinks and upscale bar food. We would come back and recommend you trying it out!

perch, bacon jalapeno mac

If i was a local here, I would probably make this a regular spot simply because of the vibes and the decent food. The service was great, very attentive and they were training at the time so I'm happy to see them doing it the right way! The Mac n cheese....hmm...this is my own fault really. I am a MNC connoisseur and I am hard to impress, sorry not sorry, but most macs are just bland lets be honest here! I was not blown away by theirs either, but the options are there so many I'd like one of their other macs. We got the one with bacon and jalapenos and I'm glad as those 2 items at least added flavor! It was super cheesy but didn't taste the cheese. We, of course, ordered perch which was AWESOME. Would definitely order again if I was a local. You HAVE to order perch while around Lake Erie!

Delicious steak.
Hester A.

The food at shore house never disappoints and they have something for everyone, weather it's a burger or a steak or seafood. In my estimation the service has improved to top notch. The Ambiance is casual and a great place to grab a bite before a concert at Jackson Pier.

Evidence!
Vince R.

We had a cheesesteak and the shrimp tacos. So good the only picture I got was the evidence! We'll be back.

If you are in the area, you can't skip this place. If you're from Cleveland, the Marketplace at the…read moreCooke will remind you a lot of the 5th Street Arcades in downtown Cleveland. This is a super cool public market hall in downtown Sandusky with maybe 15ish (just a guess) local businesses like a bakery, bowling alley, axe throwing game space, ice cream shop and boutiques. This is a cool place to spend an hour or two just browsing and supporting local while grabbing some dessert. The building has some type of history to it which I was unable to readily find online (boo, that is so odd). But the history is paid homage in the design of this space, with old timey photos of Sandusky and Cedar Point blown up on the walls and little stories to accompany them. The design is actually brilliant. It's a cool mixture of old school heritage meets modern rustic vibes. It makes you want to stop and look. The businesses in this building are open during the pandemic, just make sure to check with each business directly before visiting as most of the hours are likely changed. I stopped by here extremely quickly (I do not go out much during the pandemic) to pick up some pre-paid birthday treats from Bake Erie. It has a spacious, accessible parking lot and is just a joy to browse. Check it out for yourself, than continue exploring the surrounding area of local businesses... and Lake Erie :)

Neat little indoor shopping plaza with really cool decor. We need to make it back for axe throwing…read moreand maybe dinner. Definitely worth a stop-in if in the area.

I stopped at Thirsty Pony in Sandusky over winter break with my daughter and nephew, and overall it…read morewas such a fun experience for the kids. The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly, and they had a blast while we were there. It's definitely a spot that keeps kids entertained and makes it a little easier to relax as a parent. What truly stood out was the staff's integrity and kindness. I accidentally left my credit card there, and not only did they go out of their way to mail it back to me, they included a cute little Thirsty Pony drink coozie in the envelope. That was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. Customer service like that really matters. The atmosphere and the way they handled my mistake absolutely left a positive impression. Thank you to the team for going above and beyond -- that kindness did not go unnoticed!

We didn't get any menus when first sat down so our server was scrambling a bit since the host kind of left us hanging. Our server was really great at keeping our cups full and putting in our order quickly. The food came out pretty fast which was really surprising but tasted pretty subpar. You really should come here for the vibes which were fun and lively! There's also a bowling alley, axe throwing, laser tag, at least 3 different sports bars/betting, arcade, AND a food truck outside with yard games. I ordered the cluck cluck burger which has bacon and an egg. The burger patty was pretty dry but it was saved by the egg. It comes on a pretzel bun which I loved! My nephew ordered a ton of apps instead of an entree and got the giant pretzel (cheese came out pretty dry with a hard top), onion rings, and the cheesesteak fries. He liked the fries the best, onion rings were good, but the pretzel was cold. My husband got chicken wings naked with three or so sauces on the side which weren't very good so I'd suggest getting them normally breaded. He also ordered a burger with sweet potatoes fries that were pretty good but his patty was also dry.

The banana pudding tasted okay, but it was more of a soup than a pudding. Even the whipped cream was liquified. But it gets a lot worse. The ribs were disgusting. Undercooked, tough, chewy, and tasteless. I've never had ribs that particular texture. Almost like they came from Costco and were thrown on the grill for a little while. Chili's ribs were better and Chili's ribs are a joke. The beef brisket was passable, but even it was just mediocre. The only reason I gave it a second star was the service, which was fast and friendly, and the ambiance, which was pleasant. In short, I'm not sure why Dave is famous. Maybe change the name to Infamous Dave's? Or just go back to being a Quaker Steak n Lube. That was good food!
