    Thank you for two celery sticks. So generous.

    After a two year respite I was forced back to Vitale's for another disappointing meal. Why do we never learn?

    Pizza and meatballs
    Sharon S.

    Wonderful server so kind and helpful. Our lunch was delicious, highly recommend the deluxe pizza and meatballs. Restrooms and dining was clean.

    The spoon pictured is a tablespoon so you can see how small and short piece of lasagna was  I ordered extra Mozzarella on it.

    My family and I have been eating at Vitale's of Ada or having it delivered for well over a decade. The service has always been excellent, and the food delicious, with the portions plentiful. Sadly, this was not the case last night. I ordered lasagna and for 18$ plus delivery charges received a very small piece. In addition, you could barely taste the ricotta cheese in this short piece I received. Previous pieces have almost filled the take out container. See attached picture. The spoon pictured is a tablespoon so you can see how small and short piece of lasagna was I ordered extra Mozzarella on it because the generous portion i usually receive is complemented by the extra cheese. I was quite dissatisfied and disappointed.

    Eggplant Parmigiana
    Jane N.

    Eggplant Parmigiana - so excited when I saw this on the menu because I often crave it and can't think of a local place to get it. Delicious! I love how it comes out baked in its own dish and you have the crispy cheese and eggplant along the edges. Nice and hot, cheesy, and perfectly sweet but not too sweet sauce. It comes with spaghetti in a separate bowl. The leftovers were perfect reheated. Happy to have found my go-to place when I crave this dish!

    Bad spot

    We ordered barbecue wings and they somehow mixed that up with franks hot sauce. Took forever to bring 8 wings. Used to be a go to spot but now I have changed my mind

    I think they forgot the "b" in the name…read more Since we live in Ada, we were understandably excited to have another potentially good place open nearby. We visited not long after they went live in 2021. It was busy inside and the service was understandably slow. I got the "Homemade Chili", which was apparently made in a condemned home because it was barely room-temperature. I sent it back and had to press my case to get that bacterial culture of a dish taken off the bill. My "Garage Burger" had a bun that was so stale, it clanked when I hit it against my plate. My beleaguered waitress stared at me when I did this and asked, comically, "do you want a new bun?" Why yes, yes I do - preferably one that can't be sharpened into a prison shank, my dear. As the volume in the place progressively increased, I watched another family with younger kids struggle with similar food issues. The dad at that table looked at me knowingly with something akin to PTSD in his eyes and then he abruptly plunked down some cash and gathered his family up and walked out. I paid with a credit card, so it took me a bit longer, but we all left without finishing our meals. I'm not going to say that the food here is a crime against humanity, but I'm going to think it really hard.

    Came in around 1 on a Saturday. It was extremely busy and they seemed a bit understaffed. Sat at…read morethe bar and had good service though. Drink specials were good (2 Busch light drafts and $4 wells). My husband and I split the Italian sub which was pretty tasty, but it could've used more meat, especially for $17. Very lively spot and good to watch games.

    This is a restaurant and bar with simulator bays. How fun!…read more Most simulators are set up for just golf but I saw other sports equipment in other bays, so they may have some throwing style games as well. You can eat, drink, and play golf - you can do it all or you can do just one. However, if you plan on playing golf / using a simulator bay, you should call or go online and make a reservation. It gets busy there. I love that they have seasonal cocktails. They had some special ones for st Patrick's day. They also have happy hour M-F from 2-6pm. I booked a bay, it charges per 30 min. The hour was $65. I had one cocktail. I got a briefing on the system and I was on my way to playing a very difficult golf course in South Korea. They have club upgrades but I stuck with the standard bag. I had a great time. Next time I will choose an easier golf course! Also, I believe the server calculates their tip not only on what you buy but also your bay time. So I'll review my check a little closer next time. The sell golf gloves if you need one/forgot yours. There is a small parking lot next to the building or you can park on the street or garage nearby. Bathrooms are on all levels. Fun place. I'll be back.

    I'm a fan! I'll be honest, I didn't have high hopes for Gimme's. In my head, if the business model…read moreis centered around golf simulators, I expected food to be an afterthought. Glad to be proven wrong! It's greasy-ish bar food at the end of the day, but the happy hour specials were really affordable and the food was very good. Fries were seasoned well, chicken tenders were crispy, and the poutine was done well too. Very beige plates all around though. Golf simulator side of things was awesome. They've got ones with extra sports too so you can play t-ball, pitch, throw a football, kick a field goal, play hockey, or kick a soccer ball on a penalty kick. You can bring your own clubs and practice as well. Very cool experience, very spacious, and perfect for birthday parties for kids who like sports or late night group activities that isn't bowling. Super spacious too with two bars both upstairs and downstairs. Very cool and unique spot downtown!

    Came here for dinner on a Thursday night specifically for their poutine dish for Michigan Street…read morepoutine week. Bob's Bar served tater tots with garlic herb cheese curds, house made beef gravy, green onion, and bacon bits. It was great! Felt like it was pretty much what you would want out of a poutine dish. I also got the Chicago dogs which is on their normal menu and these were tasty. I had been craving a Chicago style hot dog for a while and these hit the spot. They got all the toppings right. Especially loved the sport peppers. The basket is served with potato chips. There was some sort of alcohol rep there when we were there and he was handing out free drinks and samplings/shots of alcohol that were on the house so that was a nice surprise! Another nice thing about Bob's bar is their parking! They have a lot that is dedicated only to their customers right across Harlan Ave. Otherwise there is side street parking. Loved the vibe of this place. Kinda divey but not gross or unappealing or anything of that matter. They also have a patio/deck area in the back that looks nice but our server mentioned they don't provide service out there so you come in to order and then take your food/drinks out there.

    Michigan Street has a concentrated area of bars including Bob's Sports Bar. My go-to is Birch Lodge…read moreacross the street, but Bob's is a nice spot to mix it up, especially in warmer months as they created a pretty nice outdoor deck area in back. Nate and I stopped in last month to grab a snack and catch an MSU basketball game. It was also Super Bowl Sunday, so it was pretty busy even though it was mid-afternoon. We took a table near the door and had a good view of several TVs. The bar is pretty cozy, so it can get a little crowded. A server came over right away and took our order. I got the spicy dry rub wings and Nate ordered the buffalo chicken rangoons. The food took quite a bit of time to come out, but they were pretty busy with a couple large groups. The wings were excellent! I'd had their regular wings before, but the spicy dry rub was really flavorful with a bit of heat. I liked that it wasn't overly salty like some dry rubs I've had elsewhere. The wings themselves were crispy and juicy. The buffalo chicken rangoons were just okay. The filling was pretty sparse and they were a little tough. We'd definitely get the wings again. Note that they give a small discount if you pay in cash. Bob's Sports Bar is a low key neighborhood hangout spot to watch a game or catch up with friends. They have Keno, pull tabs, Chambongs, and daily food and drink specials. There's plenty of free street parking nearby and they have a designated parking lot across the street.

    Was out at dinner at a nicer bar and restaurant a couple blocks away with some friends one night…read more We decided to check out some bars on Bridge Street since it's been over a decade and a lot has changed. Although this place has a horrible reputation, we decided to give it a shot. ...... oops! lol It's a much younger atmosphere on a Friday evening then we would like, however, since we walked down there, we decided to grab a drink anyways. The service is horrendous. The drinks were horrible. And the atmosphere was that of a high school cafeteria. Almost literally. We noticed one of our friends, daughters and her friend who are here drinking at a table with several other peers. Problem is these girls are only 19 years old. We immediately spoke with these girls and contacted their parents and also let the Bar know. The Bar tenders did not care and I guess the owner whoever he or she is fully knows and is very supportive of this based off with the bartender and some regulars were alluding to. We have contacted the local police department and the MLCC . Apparently, when filing report with the police department, this place has been under a microscope for quite some time. I would not be surprised if it is closed down within the next year or two.
