What a great place…read more.. Wifie and I really enjoyed our trip to the Big Apple Cafe. The staff was over the top friendly, and the service was great. The decor is a cool kind of small town diner with a hint of New York. The food is really good... I had the Ruben with the fresh cut fries, which was delicious - the fries are a must try. Wifie had their salad with chicken, which was really big and very well put together. This place is well worth stopping by for a meal. They serve breakfast all day.

The half sandwich was on that very small square bread with 2 slices of bacon one slice of tomatoe and a little bit of lettuce. Not very much to eat.

My experience here was terrible, in my opinion. I brought my parents and one of my daughters. I'll…read moreadmit they were more forgiving than I am here. We arrived around noon on a Friday. All tables were full. There is nothing that is worse in service than making people not feel welcome when you walk into an establishment. I don't need much. A hello, an acknowledgement, a welcome, sorry we'll be with you shortly....None of that. We stood awkwardly at the front of the restaurant half inside the doorway behind another family. The other family nor our family were not acknowledge for about 15 minutes. I tried to make eye contact and kind of nod at some of the wait staff and people behind the counter to make sure they understood we would like a table, but they flat-out ignored us. As if we didn't exist and they didn't want us there. It was kind of sad, really. The other family that was waiting eventually left after a while of realizing we may not be seated and we were not welcome. After about those 15 minutes, three tables of people finished at the same time. The waitress came over and said we could sit in a booth wherever. Yes, kind of like that. Sit wherever. It was clear they didn't want us there. We were inconveniencing them. Getting our waters and ordering our food was fairly straightforward, but the same vibes: not friendly nor welcoming. We waited longer at the table than I would've expected for waters and ordering, considering we'd now spent 30 min in the building and had hardly been acknowledged, but she did take our order. It was after 11am, so no breakfast options. Hmm, okay I get it I guess. That's fairly common for a diner. My only option as a vegetarian is a grilled cheese and french fries (pictured, after eating half the sandwich, about 12 french fries were included). It tasted good, but it was tiny. It was a kids'-sized portion. I was unsure of how a grown man was supposed to call this a meal. It was cheap enough, but I would've paid a couple more bucks for a larger portion, maybe a full side of french fries? All else was fine. The mood/vibe never changed. We weren't checked on, until we waved her over for more water and our bill. We paid our bill at the counter. I don't think I have high expectations. I just want them to...be okay with us being there? Provide service? (I always leave a tip, but I'm not sure what I was tipping for...) It's no excuse, but maybe they thought we were out of towners? I've lived here for 15 years, but it was definitely giving "you're not our people" type of vibes.

I had the walleye dinner with baked potato and coleslaw. It was fantastic. Fresh walleye given in a generous portion. This has the feel of places I grew up with in southern Ohio in the 70s and 80s. The prices were amazing. My dinner was under $13 bucks which is half what you would pay in Columbus. The breakfast items looked huge and delicious so we will definitely be back to try those. Overall nostalgic small town restaurant vibes. Definitely check it out if you are in the Buckeye lake area.

I think having a call reservation system could help, but they probably could also have some outdoor seating when the weather is nice. They're very friendly here, and the food is very good........so it's completely understandable why they're so loved. Just maybe they could use some extra capacity accommodations as I suggested.

They operate…read moreon an "honor system" where you have to pay attention to who is in line in front of you and if a table opens up. I ordered a grilled chilled cheese to be safe because I suspected the quality of other items would be questionable. Unfortunately, the grilled cheese is made with one single slice of Kraft American Singles. Not even real cheese and it wasn't fully melted. The fries are frozen crinkle cut fries, also somehow cold. The bacon was gross, tastes dry and just low quality, like microwave kind? I tried my son's kid waffle which was surprisingly decent. Hash-browns were okay just unseasoned. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for quality ingredients but if you're looking for a greasy spoon you're in business. The staff was nice, probably the only positive for me.

Stav's Diner We lost…read moreour go-to breakfast place earlier this year, "Th Grill and Skellet." We began looking for a new place on Tuesday at 9 am with a trip to Stav's Dinner. We are in the Eastmoor Area, so this was close. Stav's is a traditional dinner with some two-tops along the wall and the counter. There were two open tables, and we were seated right away. Our server was right there, asking about coffee or drinks and offering a menu. Coffee was served in a good-sized mug. I had a western omelet with hash browns, rye toast, and coffee. My wife had a mushroom omelet. Our food was out very quickly. Our meal was good but not extraordinary. If you are looking for a breakfast or lunch place on the Eastside, give these folks a try.

Our server, Candi, was friendly and attentive to us. Even though it was breakfast time, we decided to have lunch items (a BIG plus for us being able to do this). I had the fish sandwich without coleslaw (don't hate) with fries and Mindy had the bologna sandwich with sweet potato fries. The order came out quickly and was hot. Mindy gave the sandwich a 5-6 out of 10. She is a ranch "snob" (her words not mine) and said it was not good. Her sweet potato fries did not have any flavor. My fish was hot but did not have flavor either, even after adding salt and pepper to it. My fries were okay, but nothing special. Overall, we were not impressed with Delaniey's Diner with the exception of our server. She did a great job and was attentive to our needs. Our beverages never went below half before she refilled them which is a big plus for us. Food - 2 stars Service - 4 stars
