    If you're truly looking for that neighborhood bar/restaurant that offers generous hearty portions, amazing customer service, great prices, and only a 2-block walk to beautiful Lake Erie, then "Sparky's Place" will have you covered. This is one of Conneaut's most popular little hidden gems and I decided to stop by here for lunch. Located directly at the corner of Broad St. and Erie St., this place has been a fan favorite for locals and out-of-towners for many years. Since Conneaut is a relatively small place, parking is relatively easy to find. I was staying in an Airbnb and decided to make the quick 5-minute walk here during the afternoon of Friday 9/15/2023 at around 1:05pm. Upon entering, I absolutely loved the 'dive bar' vibe this place had to it. There was a full bar with barstools surrounding it, multiple wooden tables & chairs, signs that read some of the local attractions, and a huge outdoor patio area; perfect for the more comfortable days and warm summer nights. Keep in mind that they are closed Monday & Tuesday but do open Wednesday through Sunday at 11:30am. After being seated, my server/hostess Kelsey took my drink and food order. Speaking of drinks, this place has a very extensive selection of beer (lagers, porters, IPA, sours, etc.) all at very reasonable prices. Many of which are in between the $4-7 range for a pint. Since I wanted local, I ordered the "Butter Pecan porter" from Double Wing Brewing Co. out of Madison, OH for only a mere $4! My second beer was even cheaper than that as I went with an "Oni Girl Japanese style rice lager" from Masthead Brewing Co. out of Cleveland, OH. This was just $3! I have to say that their drink selection is arguably some of the best I've seen in a very long time. And I've been to my share of breweries, pubs, and bars throughout America. However, their food menu is equally as impressive with a huge assortment of appetizers/small plates. This includes chips/dip, fried pickles, soft pretzels, garlic strips, Buffalo wings (available in a dozen flavors), bacon fries, and even Poutine, a Canadian classic. They also carry a nice variety of salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads, and burgers. Since I wanted one of their exclusive family-recipe dishes, I decided to go with their "Hamloaf Sliders" (priced at just $6 for the pair). This was thick cuts of hamloaf complete with sweet mustard sauce on a grilled Hawaiian roll and topped with a pickle. Although this place was a fairly packed house for a Friday afternoon, my sliders came out in just 10 minutes. And I've got to say, the portions were very generous as this was absolutely delicious. The hamloaf was tender and seasoned to perfection. Definitely a nice alternative to your typical beef sliders. And my server, Kelsey was very accommodating making sure everything was up to par. Both beers were refreshingly delicious while the entire ambiance of this place hit all the high notes for me. All in all, "Sparky's Place" is as good as it gets for me. If I lived closer, I would want to come here on a weekly basis and try everything on the menu. There was a jukebox playing cool tunes, TV's playing sports, and the entire atmosphere was very lively and upbeat. From what I heard, their business gives back to the community and is also very supportive of local law enforcement. With that said and done, I am giving this place a perfect five-star Yelp rating.

    One of the absolute best bars you are going to find in Conneaut Ohio. I'm not talking like a local dive bar, I'm talking about enjoying some nice whiskey, some nice wines, and a very extensive bottled beer selection. The food is all delicious, I have yet to have a single meal that has not been good. I will strongly encourage getting a burger if you like cheese burgers. They're delicious. They are also very supportive of law enforcement and have a wonderful patch wall that I was happy to donate to. The owners are very pleasant people and always willing to help and answer questions. The bartenders are always great conversationalists. My only complaint about the establishment is the size, it is very cozy. They do not have seating like you'd find in a large Texas road house type restaurant. They do have a very nice heated patio though! Though the chairs are pretty uncomfortable especially for a bigger person but I suppose that's personal preference.

    First time here. Ordered the Chicken Ranch Wrap and Buffalo Wings. Good portions. Food was tasty. Would definitely return when back in town.

    Cheese burger, no lettuce.

    I rarely review fast food establishments since they more or less taste the same at every single…read morelocation. This one is no exception as it is one of two "McDonald's" in the city of Conneaut, Ohio. This particular one is in the heart of downtown Conneaut (at 312 State St.) while the other being at I-90 at Love's Truck Center. Since I needed a quick breakfast and something to fill me up, I decided to come here around 10:20am, right before their breakfast menu transitioned into lunch. The location itself is relatively clean and modern as you can able to order either through the touchscreen kiosks or the old-fashioned way by going up to the register. There is ample seating throughout and this area is very well-lit with an abundance of windows. There were two working public restrooms as well as a self-serve fountain drink station. Finally, the exterior has a drive-thru. This particular location is open for business 7 days a week from 5:45am to 11:00pm. Conneaut is a sleepy little town so many other businesses close up for the day around 9:00pm. I decided to go to the register and they immediately took my order (in less than 30 seconds). I went with their "Sausage McGriddle", "Hash Browns", and "Minute Maid Orange Juice". Total price came out to about $7.00 for everything. This location actually gives you a number and brings your food out to you. Overall, everything tasted fine to me. My McGriddle was hot while the hash brown was crispy. The orange juice had more of a diluted watered down taste but that was probably because of how sugary everything else. All in all, the downtown Conneaut "McDonald's" location is a decent stop if you're strictly looking for fast food. There aren't many other fast food options in this area except for a Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, and Burger King by the I-90 highway. With that said and done, I am giving this location just an average three stars.

    Ordered a bunch on food for curbside, got home and was serving my family and found that they…read moreskimped me 40 nuggets. Called the restaurant and was told to bring all of my food back as all of my family has started to eat, I could take a picture for ya. Worst customer service, what are you supposed to expect from a restaurant that isn't run professionally.
