    Deep fried bologna sandwich, add an egg, cheese and mustard.
    David T.

    Ok, rustic is part of the name, so know going in that is not a elegant eating establishment. Bologna sandwich with fries was on the special board, and I asked if it was fried. Answer: DEEP fried or grilled. Now I am intrigued. I had an eager look on my face, and I was assured, "Honey, deep fried is the way to go." I added an over-medium egg, cheese and mustard. The fries came out fast, and could have used another minute in the fryer for my preference. But they were krinkle cut which I always enjoy. And the paper boat held WAY more than I expected or needed. And then the sandwich arrived on a tiny paper. Unpretentious yet magnificent! The bologna edges had crisped to perfection. The mustard, egg yolk and American cheese blended to golden bliss as I enjoyed this sandwich. The server was very friendly to our table of obviously out-of-towners. I am pretty sure the staff knew all the other customers by name. I debated on the 5-star review, but the place is a dive bar with good food. So I would want others to come after me to know it isn't fine dining. Going in, knowing what to expect will give others a good chance of enjoying this establishment!

    Relaxed ambiance and very cool on a warm day!!

    When you walk in it looks just like a bar, but you will be pleasantly surprised. The kitchen is right in front of you and it makes me comfortable knowing that I can see how my food is being made. Love three open kitchen!! Now the server/bartender/busboy/everything (she was working alone) she was great!!! Fast service and friendly, the reason you come to small mom and pop places like this. I would strongly recommend this place!!!

    They always have a great selection of draft beer, we really enjoyed the IPA that the bar tender recommended for us. This place is a gem, and if you travel through this area you should def check it out You can watch your food being made on the grill behind the bar. Mostly a lot of fried food, like carnival food. Loaded tater wedges, and curly fries. The coleslaw tastes just like KFC there aren't really any vegetarian options on the menu, but they didn't mind accommodating us we got the pizza hoagie with a variety of fried veggies in leu of hamburger. It melted right through the bun and had to be eaten with a fork, but it was so fantastic. So much fun here!

    Love the food here! Especially the tenderloin, it is so good and huge! It's a good place to go watch the game, eat some excellent greasy food for a very fair price.

    Breakfast balls, see the menu for description.

    Quick stop on our way to Indiana, so glad we did! Great service and yummy food. My husband and I both had the Breakfast balls, whoever invented this is a genius. Please don't come here if you are a snob, won't work for you. This is basically a bar, clearly frequented by the locals and we liked that. Friendly, quick service, wish it was closer to our home. Then again I would eat there all of the time and weigh 500 pounds.

    Tenderloin, Fries, and Cold Beer! Can't wait to come back. Not to mention very affordable!

    Nice, cozy place. I hear they're getting a new owner who's been in the bar business for 9 years.

    When I go here I have to wait for the employees to finish their cigarettes so they can come in and…read moremake my sub. Then they ask me what kind of sub I want. I tell them what kind of sub I want then two seconds later they ask me again. Then I tell them what kind of cheese I want, two seconds later they ask me again what kind of cheese I want because they don't pay attention. Then they ask me if I want it toasted, I tell them yes I've already told you twice that I want it toasted. They really really really do not care and they work at about 20% speed. They hire the absolute laziest people at the Delphos Subway. Then after all the nonsense it costs $14 for a soggy sub and a fountain drink.

    An employee at Subway, Delphos didn't salt the new Auntie Annes pretzels they just started selling…read more We were at home eating our sub when I noticed no salt. So I called and told them. She said to bring them back. I told here we're eating right now but will later but my other half said forget all that. She took my name for the manager. The manager Amy called me. Her excuse was, "Well we just got them in today." I don't care. Pretzels aren't difficult to make when they're frozen and all you do is butter, salt, bake. I told her that. She said the only way she'll make me new is if I bring them back. Then she said, "I'm sorry, I pay for that." I asked what does she pay for, she responded the food here. I asked if she's the owner and she said no. I asked her why she lied to me about something like that and asked for corporate. She refused. I asked for any other number. She refused and told me to find that out myself. I told her she's delivering the worst of customer service and so...she hung up on me. I'd like that number because now I have another complaint. Miss Amy the manager was so unprofessional I couldn't believe it was happening. My family is a frequent subway customer and this is how they treat us? I'm literally appalled, no one has ever been so rude, unopologetic, harsh, and refused to work with me. The pretzels are $3 eat and we purchased 2. I'm ashamed of you Subway. I expect an apology for the mistreatment. At this point , the money isn't important anymore. It's the treatment I received from my complaint. They'll see this review but will they even attempt to reach me? I'll be sure to come back and update..

I love donuts and sadly for me, I moved to a new town where my old way to get my donut fix (Dunkin Donuts) is too far away to make the effort. So I had been looking for the nearest best place where I can feed my need for doughy sugary goodness! Pat's is a great donut shop! They are fresh, made in the store constantly. The donuts are amazing and addicting. They have the ones you can expect glazed, powdered, chocolate, etc and some unique ones... for instance they had Bacon Maple Donuts and Pumpkin Spice Donuts. They also make cookies, danish, brownies and other baked goods. If your not in the mood for baked goods they also sell breakfast sandwiches, subs, hot dogs, pizza (both breakfast and regular), and ice cream. I have only tried their cookies and donuts and can tell you they are amazing! I am curious about the other items and may have some in the future. Their coffee, though, could use a lot of improvement. If you are looking for great donuts in Delphos/Van Wert... check out Pats!
