I ordered a large pepperoni pizza for my sons Birthday last Saturday. When I picked it up at the…read morewindow I saw the man who worked there open the lid and check the pizza before handing it to me. I didn't think much of it until a few minutes later on the drive home I decided to sneak a small piece. When I opened the lid I couldn't believe what I saw. The pizza looked like it had been sitting under heat lamps all day and was dried up and burned. I'm not horribly picky but I wouldn't have served this to my dog. I pulled over and immediately called them. The same young man who rang up my pizza answered the phone. I politely told him that the pizza was burned and dried up. I told him I was surprised because I saw him personally look it over before handing it to me through the window. The phone went quiet. No apology and no offer to make it right. He mumbled that he would go talk to the person running the oven. He acted annoyed or put out. When he got back on he said they would remake my pizza. When I returned to Picnic's to get my new pizza, I showed them the burned mummified pizza they had served me. It was a young lady at the window and the same guy from earlier behind her grabbing my new pizza. I asked her if they thought that burned up pizza was acceptable to serve to customers and she apologized and looked embarrassed when she saw the it. The new remake pizza was only ok. Nothing special at all. I've had better frozen pizza. I remember when Picnic's used to have great pizza a couple years ago but something has definitely changed. I believe they sold the company to someone else. It seems to be run by young people. They looked like high school kids. They did not refund my money for the pizza but did give me a coupon for $5 off my next order. I don't believe there will ever be a next order.

In our effort to systematically knock out the entire list of establishments on the Ohio Ice Cream…read moreTrail, this was next (or more accurately, it was the most convenient place on the list we had yet to visit). And it turned out to be a terrific little spot in Vandalia. It's funny because it has been around since 1964, meaning that it's almost as old as we are. We grew up in the general area and we had never heard of it, let alone tried it. The decor was simple with a decent number of seats. It was set up to order from the counter. The gentleman serving us was friendly and quite pleasant. The ice cream flavors were limited, but that was fine for our granddaughter, who had a vanilla-chocolate twist in a cup with a cone "hat". My wife and I split a Banana Pudding Cyclone, which was like a Flurry. It was terrifically flavorful. We were pretty happy with our experience. It reminded us of the type of place we would have gone as kids. With tasty treats and good service, it is a place worthy of a return visit.

This is a throwback to the 60's & 70's when my wife came here with her folks as a child. The food is your drive-in style place with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries & shakes. I had the hamburger and my wife & mother-in-law each had the foot long coney with chili, cheese & onions along with fries and shakes. All was tasty and brought back that yesteryear type feeling. The staff was friendly & efficient in getting the food prepared quickly and correctly. The setting as I mentioned earlier is a throwback with Formica tables & seats. Very clean! Thank you for bringing back a great memory for my wife & mother-in-law.

It's an "ice cream window" operation open seasonally. You order, pay, and receive your items all at…read morea single window. No customer access to the inside; apparently once upon a time you could go in and sit down, but those days are gone. There is some outdoor seating, or just eat in your car in the parking lot. The menu is taped up on the glass. They've got some really, really young kids working here under the eye of an older person- certainly a family member. We've only stopped here for ice cream and two of three times the kiddies messed up the order- fortunately I was watching them make it so I was able to speak up and have it redone correctly. This last time she started pumping chocolate ice cream into the cup when we'd ordered vanilla (which she actually wrote down). When I spoke up, she dumped the chocolate ice cream out of the cup back into the machine. Not sure how I feel about that. The season is pretty short and 9/27/25 is closing day. Anyway, support local and stop for some ice cream here; just watch closely while they're making it and be prepared, they are pretty skimpy on the sprinkles.

The restaurant is quaint and classical and has an interesting history as an old bank and rumored to be robbed by John Dillinger and the Dillinger gang. My wife had the Bruiser Burger which is their own spin on a standard black and blue burger. The speed by which my wife ate the burger, I knew it was more than standard. I had the daily special which was a Cuban Sandwich and a side of beer battered fries. The amount of meat on this sandwich and pickles rivaled many of the Cuban's I've had in South Florida. I only wished it was pressed using Cuban bread. I would still order it again if it was a staple on their menu. ¡¡DELICIOSO!! To finish off our time at The Bank House Cafe we ordered dessert to go: Creamsicle Cake and Peanut Butter Cake. I may have to rate that part later!

This review is long overdue…read more.. No trip to my hometown is complete without a visit to get a Spanish dog. The "place" has long since changed and I must admit I miss the old place down the road that no longer exists and hasn't for years...lots of memories there. Not to mention my parents and grandparents frequented that old Root Beer Stand. I do like the idea that when this "new" place was built years ago they added inside dining. Even the folks who grumbled and/or cried years ago when the old place was torn down liked the idea of indoor dining! Besides, depending on the mood, it is nice to eat inside, and the old place used to close down in the cold months. I've watched the prices go up over the years, but I keep coming. The taste has changed over the years as well, but I still keep coming. Well, there was a year in there when I stopped because of the recipe changing too much and that period when the hotdogs themselves were different. I do miss the old recipe, and they are using it, but I think the people who make it have a lot to do with it and employees come and go, so that special something is lost. The root beer is always super cold and delicious and mushrooms are normally pretty good. They have daily specials and I can honestly say that I've had everything on the menu, but the Spanish dog is the "go-to" item in my opinion. They still come to your car to take your order and bring your food to you if you pull up under the overhang. But it's not like the old days when you automatically got a tray and had to start up your car for them to come get your tray (trash, mugs, etc.)...I miss that. Now you take care of the trash, etc. and you don't get glass mugs unless you sit inside. Root beer tastes better in glass mugs...jus' sayin'. Although it's not as unique as it used to be, it's still a unique place. Be advised, when you stay in your car to order, they will take your card to run it inside. Be aware of this in advance, but it's safe. Aside from the area to place your order from your car and eat, there is plenty of other parking if you wish to eat inside. Just be sure to not park in the area where folks wish to pull up and eat (the overhang area)...make sense? And if you eat inside, take time to enjoy the décor. The black & white checkered floor sets the stage for the 1950s motif complete with a jukebox and cool bar perfect for enjoying a root beer float. There are restrooms as well. The staff is staff. Prices are a tad high, but it's worth it. Moreover, they stay open year-round. No matter how you slice it...a bite of a Spanish dog brings back memories for me...my childhood, my wild teenage days, friends, fond memories of family, and just some really good thoughts and vibes. And that is what keeps me coming back... Please note: The B-K in Piqua and the one in Troy are no longer affiliated from what I understand. So, please do not confuse this one with the one in Piqua. The food tastes the same, but different (for lack of a better term), and nearly the same menus. Try both and decide which one you like more! But remember, the one in Piqua is open seasonally.

Clientele was primarily older (retired) but still saw younger couples as well. Our waitress was nothing fancy but she got the job done and checked in on us a couple of times.
