We told her what the first one has said, and she questioned why we would want to wait. A few minutes later she came back and said well everyone is staying until the game is over to which I said the whole restaurant is staying? And she replied we don't have seats for you. Seriously is that how you treat customers? We said we didn't have a problem waiting but she made it clear she didn't want us being there. Sad because we really like the food there but if that's how we are going to be treated we will go elsewhere.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

Here's the thing, Mike's has always been a favorite of mine to take friends and family to because it's such a cool place with a ton of quirky decor and themed rooms. You can't miss the X-fighter plane right outside the entrance. They have outdoor seating during the warm months, but inside you can also sit and dine inside a bus! Aside from the experience, they have a massively EXTENSIVE menu! I mean, I'm not exaggerating! Of the many times I've been here, I haven't had the same thing twice. And I'm usually a creature of habit. There is something for literally everyone! The service is always good, the food is always great,... and best of all, their fares are always affordable. I love that I never have to break the bank to come here... and that's why I keep coming back!

Debated whether to leave a review here at all but after a couple of months...I'm here to give you…read moreguys the real deets. I owe it to fellow diners out here because I disagree with 90% of the reviews on here. The good: the owner greeted us and served us as he explained a worker was out sick. Owner is super friendly, gregarious and pleasant. There was a friendly cat either sitting next to us or roaming leisurely around the tiny house restaurant. One star just goes to the cat for being such a well behaved staff member. The free garlic bread was the only thing that I considered good here. They appeared to be just hotdog buns smushed, toasted and smeared with so much salt and butter it was drowning in everything. But it was crunchy and had flavor! The bad: the food was not good, y'all. Did it look and taste homemade? Almost painfully so. Pasta was watery, no real sauce (just canned pineapple syrup from the can), shrimp was BOILED (not seared, fried nor grilled), salad dressing was just oil with no herbs or spices or anything! Nothing was seasoned and all dishes looked boiled and so pale. BF said he saw the owner move pasta from pan to plate with his hands; no gloves... Prices were really high for no reason. Our very basic dishes were $28+. Portions were very small especially for pasta dishes. I am grateful he gave me like 2 extra shrimps but I had to take them to re-cook them better at home! BF got some chicken dish that was so white looking it was translucent. He said it didn't have any flavor and we needed to douse everything in pepper, salt, hot sauce, whatever. Ventilation was so bad in the tiny house. There was just steam and fumes that stayed and wafted around us the whole time. My clothes smelled like cooking fumes and old oil for a week. I'm glad he gets plenty of business and has regulars who come. They are all in their 70s and 80s and probably local. I have such high standards for food, cooking, seasoning that this just wouldn't cut it but I'm glad BF and I finally checked it out as it's close to where he lives. For a place to have Grill in the name, there was nothing on the very limited menu that was grilled.

Why Hillside, would you have only have one bar maid/waitress at 6:30pm on a Saturday??? There were almost 30 people she alone waited on, plus some pick ups.

Quesadilla had a bit of spice that I couldn't figure out where it came from. It was good though. But if you don't like spice you may not want this. Soup was hot and full of veggies and chicken.
