After hearing so many good things about Don's Downtown Diner in Bellefontaine, we finally made it…read morein--and I'm glad we did! This super cute little diner is family-owned and operated, and from the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. We had the pleasure of meeting Tania and her granddaughter Maddy, who were both incredibly friendly and genuinely excited that we stopped by. The diner is absolutely oozing with personality. It feels like you're visiting family... if family charged you for a great hamburger! I ordered the Body Bearded Burger, a smash burger topped with your choice of cheese, crispy bacon, peanut butter, and the option to add jelly for just 99 cents. They offer grape or strawberry jelly, and of course I had to try it. All burgers come with fresh-cut fries, though you can upgrade to onion rings for a small additional charge. The burger was outstanding. Cooked perfectly on the griddle and served on a nicely toasted bun, every bite was packed with flavor. The peanut butter added a rich, nutty taste, the bacon brought a salty crunch, and the jelly added just the right touch of sweetness. It sounds like an unusual combination, but trust me--it works incredibly well. The fresh-cut fries were a great side, and the whole meal felt like classic diner comfort food done right. If you're anywhere near Bellefontaine, do yourself a favor and stop by Don's Downtown Diner. Great food, great people, and the kind of hometown atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find.

Stopped here today for lunch. We had tried two times in the past but they were closed both times…read more We were hoping the 3rd time was a charm and it was! This was a cute family owned restaurant. We met the owner Tanya and her granddaughter Maddie. Both were super nice and told us a lot about the customers, the history of the place and the food everyone loves! We came for their fresh local meat hamburgers. I got the portobello burger. It had swiss cheese, fried portobello mushrooms, and horseradish sauce. I opted to not get the horseradish sauce. The burger came with handcut fries that were hot and fresh. The burger was hot and tasted very good. This is a very family friendly place that serves good home cooked food. I highly recommend coming here and make sure you talk to Tanya. She is super friendly! You will really like her and the food is GOOD!! Take a walk downtown after you eat. Bellfontaine is a super cute town with quant shops!

Lunch at Woody's Diner: A Buckeye Superfan's Dream…read more If heaven has a diner, it needs to be like Woody's--otherwise, I don't want to go. As a lifelong Ohio State fan, walking into this place felt less like lunch and more like stepping straight into Buckeye Heaven. Every inch of the diner is drenched in scarlet and gray pride--autographed photos, jerseys worn by real players, helmets, and memorabilia that makes you want to stand up and belt out "Carmen Ohio." I knew before even cracking the menu: I was home. Our server, Grace, was all smiles and Buckeye spirit. She gave us the rundown--Woody's has been serving up Buckeye-influenced eats for about 15 years. And it shows. The burgers aren't just burgers here--they're tributes, each named after coaches, players, or football legends. Picking one felt like draft day. Grace recommended the Dustin Burger, named after former Buckeye great Dustin Fox. Now, I'll admit--when I heard "peanut butter on a burger," my first reaction was the same as when Michigan wins a game: complete disbelief. But I trusted Grace. And let me tell you... this was no trick play. This half-pound beauty came stacked with peanut butter, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg. It sounds strange, but somehow the combo worked like a perfectly executed Flea Flicker. The bun was grilled, the burger cooked to a juicy medium rare, and by the second bite I needed a stack of napkins big enough to block a defensive line. My wife went with the Tailgate Burger--a powerhouse with house-made BBQ sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, Miracle Whip, and onion straws. Cooked to medium well, it was sweet, tangy, and messy enough to require its own offensive coordinator. She said it was delicious--though maybe a little too "sloppy touchdown celebration" for her liking. And get this--burgers are just the start. The menu is huge, with pizzas, sandwiches, and even big entrees like grilled steak and pork chops. But honestly, when the burgers are this good, I don't know if I could ever call another play. So here's my verdict: Woody's Diner = Buckeye pride + killer burgers + friendly staff = one unforgettable lunch. If you're a Buckeye fan, or just a burger fan, or hey, even if you're that rare soul who just likes food with personality--high tail it to Woody's. Trust me, it's worth it. Until next time, I'm Brian -- and remember to Take the Trip! (And yes, I may have sung the Ohio State fight song all the way home. My wife can confirm.)

On my way to the bathroom someone yelled where you going bitch?! Which scared me but then I realized it was coming from the kitchen and they were just yelling in the back at each other.

Pines is a tiny shack in Quincy, OH…read more It is very non descript. Parking is small. Mostly characterized as a small bar, appetizer shack and lunch spot- Pines is a friendly and colorful alternative to Bob Evans or a fast food joint. It is nice and cool and shaded, although it has views from its windows. There aren't many other opptions, so Pines is your choice for wings, fries, hefty eats, burgers, brews, road-fare, mixed drinks and shots. Pines gets pretty rowdy I have discovered: especially in the evening. Other Yelpies seem to have commented on this too. Don't show up in, you know; fancy clothes! This lil' pub and resto is local meeting ground for fishermen, bikers, travelers and families. As Nirvana used to say: "Come as you are." Great bang-for-your buck food! Review: 5

Everytime we Ordered to pick up our pizza was A never even made so had to wait 30 minutes for that and it wasn't right .The last time ( before this time) Told me I hadn't ordered one but there computer shows i paid for one i ask why I would pay for a pizza i didn't order the young lady said she didn't know and left it had to ask to speak to someone in charge this took another 30 minutes then the fill in manager said she would have my pizza in 20 to 25 minutes to wait in my car and come back in that time I ask for my money back she told me she couldn't give me my back because I hadn't ordered one.
