    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.

    Logistics. On the eastside of Conant Street and south of E Dudley, in uptown Maumee, bougie burb of…read moreToledo. BUSY street parking. Vibe and First Impressions. There is a door to the building and to your right there is their main entrance to the coffee shop. Watch your step UP into the café. Music is contemporary and not too loud. Vintage decor. Standup Piano. Cozy seating arrangements of 2 to 8 seats throughout. Storefront window to gaze at the bustling traffic and pedestrians. Offerings. Standard coffee shop menu and interesting pastries, interesting cheesecakes, biscotti, and cookies. We got mocha and salted caramel latte. Very good. Fun latte art. Oatmeal cookie was chewy, spicy, and comforting. Happy to see lunch items on menu. Pics say more. Hospitality. Friendly and accommodating baristas. Bussed our dishes since it was almost closing. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lovely loos; clean and stocked. The temp of the café was a bit too cold for our preference. But overall, good place to just enjoy a cafe drink with friends.

    I love the drinks and the cheesecake at Brew House! I have a monthly meeting with a coworker there…read moreevery month and we always look forward to our visit. The service is friendly and open to special requests and they don't mind us taking up a table for a couple of hours. We appreciate the variety of seating options! It's very cozy inside and they also have a small patio off the back which is nice. My one wish is that they offered larger drink options!
