Josh S.

The best pork chop in the state of Ohio. Actually let me restate that in a different way...it's the best pork chop in the entire Midwest. I was in town for work and sat at the bar by myself but still had a great time. Good service, great food, and affordable prices. For being in Defiance County, Ohio (no offense) it was really, really wonderful food.

Came on a Thursday late afternoon, 5pm-ish. Reservation not needed, which was great. Was seated right away. Few tables were occupied but not too busy or too loud. Nice atmosphere, great service and attentive server. Got Bang Bang Seafood as our appetizer which was very delicious, the shrimp and calamari were perfect. Especially I loved calamari, it was crunch outside and very soft inside! For main, I got coconut shrimp. Came with four giant shrimps with green beans and mashed potatoes. It seemed small but as I had it, I was getting too full! Shrimps were amazing, mashed potatoes were very good and green beans were just icing on the cake! I was surprised to know such place existed in Defiance.

We were kindly welcomed by the hostess with this beautiful display of dessert next to the hostess stand! This place was hopping with a wait but they had 4 seats available at the bar. Right away we were greeted with a large drink menu. I couldn't pass up the coconut-pineapple mojito. 5 stars on the mojito!!!!! I must say it was a very hard decision to choose what to eat. The pasta made my mouth water, THE STEAKS oh my the different cuts and how they will cook them was awesome! I looked around as other plates were delivered and still so hard to decide. Considered sharing a Tomahawk or just the Salt block filet. I could not pass up the coconut shrimp and I'm so thankful that was my choice! My husband and son in law went with steak and our daughter pasta. We will definitely be back when we come to visit! Being from out of town we left happy and full! I fell in love with happy tv too!

Yummy

Not even half of dining room was used, 3 maybe 4 servers with a trainee and bartender. If you can't SERVICE all your customers then slow down the seating. Unacceptable!!

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and going in it was pretty busy. We were aware it would be a…read morewait which was fine. When they went to seat us they wanted to put us at a hightop. This was an issue as we had someone in our group that was obviously hurt and had a cane. We had to wait for a different table. We got our food and drinks ordered fairly quickly. Appetizer came out half cooked. The cheese in mozzarella sticks was not soft and hard for kids to eat. We watched more than three staff walk by and not pick up the dirty dish, including the waitress that had to move it to place the food down. We waited a long time for our food. Almost everything was overcooked. My food looked nothing like the picture. The potatoes were bland and had no garlic. My mother-in-law order a mushroom and Swiss burger with fries. Hers came out with no mushrooms, barely any sauce and had onion rings. Oldest boy had the ranch chicken sandwhich with onion rings. Had no sauce and fries. Youngest boy ordered kids cheeseburger plain with an extra al a carte burger (we checked and she said they could do it). 2 kidsburger meals came out. They tried to charge for the extra fries they had to bring and an extra kids meal. Not to mention that we never really saw our waitress again. We were never offered refills on drinks. When the manager came out she blamed the new cook. They gave a 15% discount but honestly it should have been more. There was not a single meal right, the waitress just disappeared, they never cleared the dirty dishes, the manager blamed the new cook. In the end another waitress came out and took the blame saying our waitress was new. The waitress never came back and never apologized. Was a very rough meal.

This restaurant is located inside the Quality Inn. Park in the hotel lot, enter through lobby, turn…read moreright down a long hall. There are two large electric signs, one in the lobby, and one by the restaurant entrance advertising the restaurant. A sign inside insteucts to 'seat yourself'. About seven booths line the outter walls with tables of varying sized in the middle. A separate bar area has hightop tables. A waitress greeted us and brought over electronic menus. Swipe left to scroll through the pages. Touch an item for a description and wine pairing suggestions. Fancy. She told us what the lunch specials were and took a drink order. They offer Pepsi products. My SO went with an all-you-can-eat soup & salad bar. Soups on this day are cowboy bean and loaded potato. Lettuce is an iceberg mix with red cabbage and carrots. A variety of veg,, mayonnaise based salads, toppings like croutons and seeds and a variety of dressings were available. I opted for a steak salad. I was 'hangry' and did not take a photo. The salad was large. Same lettuce mix of iceberg with red cabbage and carrot. Half a dozen grape tomatoes, chopped hard boiled egg, a load of shredded cheese and three 'broasted' potato wedges. This is topped with sliced steak, cooked to your preference with a side of salad dressing. Very filling. We paid by scanning a QR code on our reciept, but the waitress can also cash you out if you prefer. She was very bubbly and kept an eye on us checking in a couple of times The restaurant is clean. Decor 'Americana' with heavy wood tables and metal chairs. Restrooms are off the hotel lobby down another corridore. For the price to portion size, friendly staff and menu options, this is a good stop
