For our wedding reception, we needed to hire a caterer. This was the first time we had done so, so…read morewe were unsure of the process and where to start. We contacted Blue Ribbon Catering, and they were incredibly helpful. Not to mention, they were patient and kind as we asked a multitude of questions to gain clarity. Everyone was very patient, especially Melissa, with whom we were in constant contact regarding the event. She made everything so easy to understand. Many of our guests had different food allergies, and they were able to accommodate us as best as they could. Everything was wonderful, and people raved about the food. The team was very professional; they showed up on time and had the food ready to go. Prices were also very reasonable, which we really appreciated since we were planning a wedding on a budget. It was definitely worth it. We had Vanessa as our private caterer, and she was incredibly kind to every single guest. She even helped my mom set up an entire dessert table that my mom had prepared separately. Vanessa didn't have to do that, but she was willing to help. Overall, our experience with Blue Ribbon Catering felt very comforting and family-like. We highly recommend them, and if we have another event up north in Ohio, we will absolutely be contacting them again.

Remember Meeks pastries? If you've lived in Norwalk or the area long enough, you would surely…read moreremember. While I cannot say with certainty that the recipes were shuffled across town after Meeks closed, I can say the donuts taste as yummy as they ever did at the long closed cross town pastry shop. Or judge for yourself by the fact that if you don't get to schilds before 10am on most Saturday's, you'll be out of luck getting g your favorite scrumptious sweet treat from the bakery. (Mine is the 'maple cream stick' as they are called locally) Aside from the bakery, IGA has a wide selection of fresh and frozen groceries. They even offer a weekly senior grocery delivery service for a nominal fee. If you like a good glazed donut or a creme filled long john, you might want to skidaddle over to schilds iga to quench that hunger.

I bought another package dated 3 days ahead and the next day the whole package was horrible.

Beware cause you'll smell the food on you when you leave. Parking is around the town square (street parking). Overall, I would come back again. It's great supporting a local diner and the food was good.

Returning to Stately Breakwind Manor from a road gig in Ohio, There wasn't a lot to find vis-a-vis…read morebreakfast joints on the way. (the Denny's and IHOPs have all been terrorized by accountants, apparently, as their offerings have all declined exponentially in quality.) The nearest Cracker Barrel was literally 100 miles in front of us. Nope, I was in the mood to find the tiny local joint where folks in the kitchen had a mission. This quest has been front and center in all my travel plans since always, and when I win one, it's always a bonus (find my Yelp about "Lu-Bob's" in Greenville, IL) As wife was driving, I had time to reconnoiter Yelp, and the "Invention" in Milan (a few miles ahead) looked like a bullseye. Milan is a quaint little town with a picturesque town square, and the "Invention Restaurant" was smack dab on the corner- it looked EXACTLY as I hoped it would. It was crowded inside with Families (2nd good sign). We got seated in a tiny booth right next to the kitchen and restrooms- Siberia in any other place, but at least we wouldn't escape the eye of the Waitress when our drinks needed a refill. The Lady Chef expediting was a riot to watch and listen to. I could tell these folks were serious about their jobs. The Waitress seemed right out of central Casting-jovial in a good natured smartass way. Wife went with the "Triple"- Eggiwegs, Pancakes and Bacon. I swung with the special "Hot Trash" which was basically a "garbage plate"-a bit of everything mixed up with potatoes and eggs. (this one promised to be "spicy") A really Good Cup of strong coffee was the 3rd good sign, but the "Pepsi" was a bit suspect. Luckily that was the onliest barnacle on this visit. Not enough to foul the mood, but If we're ever there again, we're drinking Iced Tea. Both Breakfasts were max yummy. The "Hot Trash" wasn't especially spicy, but the dish was really great. I didn't care about the spicing. Wife was happy with hers-everything was top fresh. My plate was so sumptuous, I couldn't finish. Made sure the Chef knew it was a matter of capacity, not lack of quality. Prices VERY reasonable as well. This WAS a "small-town winner" for the books. One note-The unisex toilet was about as spacious as the last one I visited on a Boeing 737. Although clean, you could wash your hands in the sink without leaning forward on the throne. I'm a man of size, and if I was 10 pounds more, I would have had considerable trouble navigating the facility here. Not enough to sour me on the place, but I'm glad I didn't have to do major work there, if you know what I mean. If you're enroute to or returning from Cleveland, take the little detour off of I-80/90 and visit the Invention Restaurant in Milan...

Brought back memories of going to Ponderosa as a kid, and not in a good way. Thin, and lots of gristle w/fake grill stripes. Baked potato was room temperature. Very disappointing.

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.

The outdoor patio is great for COVID dinning. Make sure make a reservation. Often have live music on the weekends. Keep in mind they are closed during the winter. Food - Chef Jamie is highly skilled. Never had anything that has not been good. Highly recommend any of the daily specials. They also have seasonal specials. This trip we had the olive and tomato bruschetta and the salmon special. Wine - best local wine in the region. Keep in mind the wines are mostly on the dry side. Jamie also hand selects imports from around the world. They also sell beer and other drinks. The bruschetta was a great mix of texture and flair. Sweet tomatoes, perfectly grilled baguette, salty olives, and savory blue cheese. Amazing. The salmon was very good. It had brussel sprouts cooked in an Apple compote. Very nice contrast of sweet and savory. Fish was perfectly cooked. Only negative was the potatoes were slightly over cooked. Pro Tip - ask for Julie. The best server.

Arrived well within advertised hours, saw people leaving with pizza boxes, was excited! Stood behind a woman at the window who was talking to the worker. Talking and talking and talking.

So after feeling so awkward for so long, I asked if they were closed, and the woman looked at me so rudely and said "yeah".
