Super Nachos

Not the best service but great little spot close to cedar point, food is good, bathroom is hilarious!

Inside dinning area

Being this place is right at the entrance to the Cedar Point causeway, you can imagine that it gets busy. I came on a Friday around 2:45 pm. I ordered the bourbon burger and fries. The food took approximately 15 min. That seemed to me quiet fast considering how busy they were. Now the downside, if you are looking for a relaxing environment this is not for you. Being multiple baseball teams it was noisy to say the least with each table trying to over talk the next. This is in no way a strike against this business. Just merely a heads up to a potential customer that it gets loud. Summary = food was good and the burger was a hand patty with fresh toppings. The service was polite and attentive. The environment is busy and with plenty of entertainment from betting on horses to corn hole to a large connect 4. Bring the family and friends and enjoy yourself.

Everything tasted like it came from the same deep fryer--seriously, it was like the entire menu was just one giant vat of frying oil. I was not a fan. Our waitress started off slow, and then it got worse. We sat around for 25 minutes just waiting for her to check on us or even ask if we wanted the check. By that point, we had already spent an hour and a half in this culinary time warp. I finally had to get up and hunt down the waitress just to get the bill! It seemed like there were only two waitresses trying to juggle 30 tables, which explained the snail-paced service. They were out of a few Oktoberfest items, which was a bummer, but we made do. The mozzarella sticks came with cold marinara--like, who thought that was a good idea? I've never seen that before in my life! The bang bang shrimp had some shell fragments in it, which was a real letdown. Oh, and they were also out of spinach and artichoke dip, so we had to skip that too. The place felt more like a bar with a menu that was all over the place. You could buy novelty shirts, play games, and even bet on sports, which is kind of random for a dining experience. It was a rainy Sunday night, so maybe that added to the chaos. All I know is, next time we're in town, this place will not be on our list!

Don't bother if you want mediocre food as well as slow service. Party of 5, children and no alcohol. Drinks came out pretty quickly but took forever to get our orders. Sweet potato fries were cold we sent them back and they came back soon but you know they just re-dipped them in the hot oil... Slaw was just like wet cabbage no flavor and couldn't eat it.. Best thing on the plate was the deep-fried dill pickle spear and the dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries. Bun on my burger was hard, and I couldn't eat it. Was really looking forward to this excursion but left really disappointed.

House salad with chicken is a big one!

Love this place so much!!!! Excellent place to stop for dinner after a long day at Cedar Point. Here's all of the great reasons why I will continue to come back here when I am in town: - Awesome staff, very attentive and enthusiastic - Easy parking lot - Really good drinks and they're not overpriced - Great food menu - Lots of TVs (watch your games here!) - Gambling and tons of arcade games, bring the kids! - Lively crowd of both locals and park goers If you like a lively bar with good food and drinks, you should definitely stop here. Much better than eating at the park or fast food places nearby!

Blumbleberry (?) beer which is a blue berry honey lager and my husband's IPA!

Love the Thirsty Pony! My husband and I like to go at least once when we are in Sandusky, if not twice! The kick'in chicken dip (buffalo chicken dip) is delicious!!! Never disappoints! Their Philly cheesesteak fries are also incredible! I also recommend their chicken, it is super crispy! Their Cajun dry rub and garlic Parmesan are tasty. They taste like they are made in house but I am not sure. Their cocktails are always good and strong! The service is always good and they are quick to help out! The environment is so fun and their are televisions everywhere! You can watch horse races and sports. You also can bet on horse races! Highly recommend this place and while you wait their are games to play outside. PS: this place connects to the bowling alley and laser tag!

As soon as you walk in you have to honk a horn for service. The servers are nice, and they have good hot dogs. This place was packed!
