Amazing family owned business. Very tasty food all around. The aroma of the food cooking in smokers draws you in

Got the sampler plate. Food was really good, fast and friendly service. You can eat there on picnic tables or take home.

New Riegel Cafe - Regular rib dinner

Update. Had to go see if the new owners changed anything, and they did change a few things, but…read morekept the ribs the same, thankfully. They're my favorite. I'm not saying they're the best in the world, but they're objectively pretty good and definitely unique. The sauce, to me, seems stewed- tomatoes and onions and seasoning, with little chunks left in it, not smoothly pureed like most bbq sauces. I think that's what throws some people off. They don't like it; I do. I grew up eating it, so I'm biased. It's different, but how different is Carolina vinegar from KC tomato from Carolina mustard from Hawaiian? The ribs themselves are meaty and tender, and you get a good portion. The fries are pretty generic, but: skinny and crispy and left under some ribs, the sauce softens and flavors them, and yum. You also still get little buttered bread and some celery. That's the tradition here. That plus washcloths at the table, which all bbq places should use. So. Changes. You can use cards now! For a 3% surcharge, but still, a nice option. The gift shop used to be huge, is now tiny, and that space is an ice cream parlor. We had already had Dietsch's, so we passed. No more rib/rib and a half, etc. Industry standard half rack/rack. Prices have gone up, but that's true everywhere. Service was good. The place was just picking up when we went, 430 on a Thursday, and we plan it that way. It can get packed at peak times, so I try to go at 430 on weekdays (which is when they start serving ribs, except Sunday it's at 1130am.) Baby K got the kid's ham dinner, which is pretty much a ham steak, or Easter ham, cut into big chunks. She liked it. And liked the fries, and she can be picky about those. Also liked the Ms. Pacman game. I miss the bowling shuffle thingy one. Oh, well.

So it's been literally 45 years since I lived in Findlay and as a kid, my parents took me to New…read moreRiegel cafe for ribs. My wife and I went tonight because we drove from Florida just to have them. I wanted my wife to try them. I have bragged about the ribs to her since the early 80's. I could distinctly remember how much I loved the tangy, garlicky BBQ sauce. Well that recipe is gone unfortunately. I guess the restaurant has been sold and the food is changed. All I can tell you is the sauce tasted exactly like celery seed and nothing else. The ribs didn't taste like anything BbQ that I've ever had. It's been a few hours since eating them and I can't get the taste of celery out of my mouth. I couldn't even eat half of my order: Oh well. At least I won't ever crave them again. There was nothing wrong with the inside of the place and the service was fine.

Stopped in here for our 4th visit and had to get the fried bologna sandwich which was on my list of…read moretheir sandwiches to try. Just like the other sandwiches we have eaten here, it was amazing! The soup is incredibly good and the beans didn't disappoint either. They had a slight kick to them which I liked. The fried bologna sandwich had the right amount of onion and pickle with a lightly spicy sauce. You can get this made how you like but this version was perfect for me. I always get the Killer Bee IPA which has a slightly honey flavor and I really enjoy it. Did I mention that their prices are really good also. Keep in mind this is not a fancy sit down restaurant and you have to order your food at the bar but I wouldn't change a thing here. It's perfect!

Ambiance is just charming, located in an old railroad station, with rustic decor. We smelled the…read moresmokehouse as we pulled up! You order your drinks and food at the bar. Server was friendly and welcoming. Vibe is super chill. We ordered the $5 margaritas and they are tasty! My strawberry Margarita tasted like it had homemade strawberry syrup. The prices are really reasonable. Saw the loaded baked potato go by and it was a stunner. The Pulled pork was smoky, lean, tender and delicious. Baked beans had a traditional flavor with onions and green peppers. This is definitely a must stop in Bryan!
