I've tried it several times since those days and man, it just isn't there anymore. I'm not saying its terrible by any means, but it just lots its flavor, soul, heart. I recall getting an assorted sub back in the day and finishing it in no time. But now, the last couple times, I've taken a few bites, maybe finished a part or so, but it just has an off taste now. Even the dogs aren't right. I dont know, I'll give it one more try someday, but If it still is off then, I'll give up.

The Met has a policy that your server gets to proudly wear a crown if their name is mentioned in a five star review. Love that policy!! Wear it proudly Ashely!! The Met is a unique building downtown Lima. It was built in the late 1880's and was originally home to the The Metropolitan Bank. It has since been morphed into a restaurant with very attractive original features. The wood floors and plaster ceilings...along with the attractive decor really enhance the dinning experience! The team here is very friendly, professional and welcoming. Ashley was outstanding. She hustled, knew her menu and had great recommendations. Ashley was very attentive and helped us enjoy the evening. I appreciated Liz stopping by and welcoming us. Liz shared lots of history and helped us appreciate the facility. The Met has a large food menu that has something for everyone. They have a large selection of beverages and specialty cocktails. All at reasonable prices. We started with a couple of Mule drinks. One was a designer St. Patrick's Day Mule and their specialty Met Mule. Both were very tasty, cool and refreshing . We started with the Focaccia bread appetizer. It had a lightly golden/chewing top with a soft and moist inside. Liz said that they make the bread fresh three times a day. The bread had a slight olive oil taste with a mild amount of Italian herbs. The soft whipped butter was a nice add. The side salad had lots of fresh spring greens. There was a few tasty tomatoes and lots of stronger tasting onions. The thin Parmesan cheese shreds were an excellent touch. The house ranch dressing was very smooth/light/creamy moderately thin with a mild ranch taste. My wife had the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. The crust was thin and crispy. She really liked the ranch house made sauce and how it accented the meat toppings. I had the Met Meatloaf which had an outstanding meat flavor. The meat was made with Italian sausage which had a slightly spicy kick. It was moist and tender to go along the beefy taste. The smooth red sauce on top was slightly sweet & spicy. It accented the meat nicely. The mashed potatoes were real with lumps, eyes and minute peel pieces. Very smooth and delicious! The grilled asparagus had a slight crisp to go along with the tender stalk. Not much seasoning detected...just a nice olive oil taste. Overall a fantastic dinner experience. We sat street level and watched the pedestrians come & go while enjoying the decor of this unique facility! The menu is large and the food and drinks are outstanding. A special trip to The Met in downtown Lima is worth a try!

We arrived at 11:30 and left at 2. They were nice to let us linger. Everything we had was terrific. Soups are made in-house. I'm thinking most all things on the very large menu were probably very good. They seem to care about the details. We also shared some ice cream cookie sundae concoction that was 5*. Metered parking on the street and there was a free lot but it was full. Meters were $2 for two hours. Nice staff and there were no staff shortages! Lilly our server was perfect. If we pass through again we will stop in! The bar area is exquisite.

The Pizza Lounge is the bar in the Howard Johnson's Hotel in Lima, Ohio. It is your basic hotel…read morebar. They have the standard selection of alcohol and a simple menu. Pizza is the main focus of the menu but they do have a nice variety of other menu choices. They also have daily specials such as half price appetizers on Mondays and $0.79 wings on Tuesdays. The bar seems to be staffed by only one person, but there might be more on busy days. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Pizza Lounge has a modern feel to it. It is bright and well lit. The stools are comfortable. The entire place is nice and clean. The food is also decent. Better than most larger hotels I have stayed at. The salads are large and don't skimp on the extras. Tuesday was a long and tiring day so I sat at the bar shortly after they opened. I ordered a Johnny Walker Black and 10 buffalo wings. They also offer their wings with BBQ, Hot BBQ, and a Honey Mustard flavor. The wings are plump, cooked well, and the sauce clings to wings. Mine were hot and tasty. The Johnny Walker was a nice addition for after the wings while I relaxed before heading back up to my room. It's nice to have someplace nice in the hotel to sit, relax, and have a good bite to eat. It beats going out, especially in this cold weather we are having right now. So, if you happen to be in the Lima, Ohio area and close to, or staying at the Howard Johnson's give The Pizza Lounge a try.

I started with a gummy bear cocktail, which was just like drinking a strawberry Jolly Rancher. Then my date & I were served toasted ravioli as our appetizer... they were perfect! Crispy on the outside, soft & tasy on the inside. The marinara complimented the ricotta and breaded pasta well. For my meal, I had some yummy fried shrimp with cocktail sauce. I was very pleased. My curly fried potato wedges (don't call them curly fries!) were crisp on the outside & soft inside. I really enjoyed them. My side of fruit & side salad with balsamic vinaigrette were fine, neither great nor terrible. My fiancé had some delicious chili, though it was cold when served. Out waitress obliged our request to reheat it & when it came back out, it was just right. The cornbread was moist, sweet, and "cakey." I'm from North Carolina &, let me just say, the cornbread was some of the best I've had in ages. The chicken sandwich was good. We ordered some cinnamon caramel pretzel bites (like cinnamon sugar balls) to go & I can attest that they didn't last long the next day when they were warmed up. Overall, this was a nice meal in a quaint Ohio downtown. Should we return to Lima, we'll stop in at 318 again!

We did the drive thru, as we were whipped from driving. We ordered a cheeseburger added bacon, a double cheeseburger added bacon, two orders of fries, a double large drink (32 oz.), and order of chili added cheese and fritos, and a medium frosted malt. All our food was very good. The chili is best with the cheese and fritos, as it is a thinner based chili, not thick. The drive through line was long, but we can see why based on the food quality. They do NOT have military discounts for retired military veterans, probably the only negative comment we can provide. They require a signature on your credit card receipt, so they are a little behind the times on that aspect. We ate in our hotel rooms, so can't comment on the dinning room...our hotel room was nice. It was worth the high marks that caused us to give it a try...it is an awesome local burger joint. We highly recommend it.
