Wow! I must have overlooked this place a million times! I thought it was just a catering place but…read moreit turns out it's so much more. My husband brought me lunch from here and it was awesome. I had the Greek chicken wrap and he had the chipotle ranch turkey wrap. I loved the Greek wrap- tons of flavor and a perfect size. The turkey wrap was good but not as delicious as the Greek wrap. Both were good sized for the price and great lunch options. It's clear they use quality ingredients and care about their food! Definitely swing by and grab an easy, healthy lunch here! On top of that- my husband picked up a prepared freezer meal for us to try! Bourbon chicken with red skin potatoes. With two young children, I can't wait to pop this in the oven one night and enjoy an easy meal. So awesome that they offer these and such a variety of options as well. These would be great to grab and share as gifts with people going through health or other issues. I don't know anywhere else in the area that offers this and it's so great to know! Thankfully my husband brought home a menu so I could peruse all the options they have. I can't wait to try some of their other options!

I was just wasting time on the interwebs when I spotted a picture of ramen with pierogis in it. I…read moreknew I had to have it. So I made the drive to Lorain and have no regrets. First off I need to say the friendliness and passion of the owner and staff is definitely 5 stars worthy. They want you to enjoy your time at Boriken and they are happy to explain everything about the menu. It was nice to hear that they try to use local ingredients as much as they can and that they try to have little food waste. To explain further, they will only make so much of something a day, when it's out it's out. This also means that some dishes might have whatever is available in the fridge at the time. An example of this is their Beast Bowl (not listed on the menu). The Beast Bowl $13 is the chef's take on ramen. The night I had it the goods inside were 2 fried chorizo pierogi, pork, jowl, and sausage. There was also a poached egg, green onions, and cooked red peppers. While I'm not a big fan of sausage and I'd prefer a soft boiled egg (hate when the white part is clear and goopy), the broth was good and overall it was a tasty dish. I liked that it wasn't salty or plain in flavor and that it did not contain mushrooms. I would get this again - I would just add more hot sauce and ask if the pierogis can be sauteed instead of fried (love me soft with a slight crisp!). Of course since it was my first time there and not close to home I had to try other menu items out! (Don't do this, ate too much and it hurt). I got the Tostones $6 and the Might "T" Fine $6 as well. The salty tostones had nice crispy fried edges, you just have to rip them up to dip them in the aioli since the container it's in is not wide enough for maximum dip coverage. However I would deal with this any day over them using those throwaway plastic 2oz containers. I ended my night with dessert. The might t fine is basically like chocolate pudding with homemade marshmallows on top. The marshmallows were torched so they had that fire smell, but it was a satisfactory treat for sure. I guess this dish usually comes with fried up bits of shredded carrots on top as well, but they were out. Other notes about the menu: It will change seasonally/based on whatever is available locally so keep watch on their Facebook page for new dishes. Also, I hear they have some good gravy covered fries that are a shout out to the gravy fries the chef used to get in the LHS cafeteria. The fries are frozen which is disappointing, but the chips are housemade. I was told salt and pepper are not on the tables because they don't think you need it. I find this a bit cocky, but was glad to hear they will get them from the back if you ask. They are working on getting a licence so expect alcohol offered soon. As for the building and atmosphere I would rate that lower. The restaurant is on the basement level of an apartment building and while there are 3 entrances (front, side, back for handicap), none of them directly open up into the restaurant. Not much when it comes to decor inside, plus no TV or Wi-Fi. I was told this is so that families are forced to interact with each other. I asked about people dining solo and was told to bring a book. The staff I encountered definitely had lively personalities so just give them a chat. It's also a bit chilly inside, I ate with my coat on. Overall, I know the menu might look a bit interesting/odd, but you should come in and give it a chance. The inside doesn't have much going on, but if you have an easy going personality you won't mind. I'm not sure about that drive, but I will eventually be back to give them another try and I wish Boriken all the best!

Devan was great to work with on the planning side and he executed on his commitments to provide an amazing meal for everyone at my Fall Festival of Colors event. Prompt communications, timely arrival and departure, and exceeded my expectations on every front. He even came prepared with extra "stuff" in case I didn't have what I committed to provide. The pulled pork was so delicious it didn't need any sauce and the smoked half chickens were moist and tasty. The chicken was so good that even the day after when warmed in the oven they were still juicy moist and had amazing flavor. Support family run businesses like Stewart's!!! You won't regret the service, experience, and flavor of the best BBQ I've eaten in years! THANK YOU for providing a memorable meal for my guests. Everyone raved about how delicious everything tasted.
