Valentine's Day Edition:…read more My wife and I met with my parents at Black Dog Tavern as they were having a Valentine's Day steak special. It was delicious! The ribeye was cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic. They were very accommodating and were able to provide my nephew with a high chair. Ambiance was very neat. Eating and having a nice view of the golf course feels very swanky for little ol' Mansfield, OH. I would happily come back as everything on their normal menu looks great!

Well, look like a house, not really a building Went inside, the place is not busy, there is a bar seating, the girl in the bar is very nice, very friendly I seated, the menu has burgers, pasta, steak, typical American restaurant menu, nothing special I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, I know, in American restaurant? lol Well, I want some noodle, I think is $14, added grill chicken for another $6 When it come out, the portion is very small, very disappointed, even the chicken is small, very dry Overall, the food I'm giving 3 out of 10, service is great If you in the area, you should order the burger, they probably do better job

I will be dreaming of that pizza for years to come!! Do yourself a favor and go try it!

The chips were the least pleasing thing. We ate right in the main bar area with TVs everywhere. Fun environment. Waitresses were kind and human. Food came out very fast. Service and prices were solid. The men's bathroom is pretty "old world." If you're actually using the stall (which is not deep enough to comfortably sit in), you cannot close the door (there's no latch). The bathroom also didn't smell clean. My wife said that the female restrooms were well-maintained, haha, so it's a guy gap (and I barely care).

My friends and I were in…read moretown for the Shawshank Hustle and chose this place because it looked lime it would accommodate for our different tastes. It was a lot smaller inside than we expected but it was nice. We were seated quickly but it took a bit for our server to come. We finally ordered ( nothing crazy - we all got sandwiches). Then it felt like our server just disappeared. One of the other servers heard us talking while she was servicing her table and told us that they had some event going on outside so food was taking longer to come out. No update from our own server. I had to ask ther other server for another drink. It was kind of irritating to see tables that came in after us getting their food before us. Now onto the food - it was pretty good. We all enjoyed our sandwiches. I got a reuben with fries. The rye bread on my reuben was nice - crispy crust yet soft. Very good ratio of meat to saukraut. The fries were eh. Very limp with no crispy at all. I've honestly gotten better fries off a food truck. They look crispy in the photo but they were not. So overall- drink was good, sandwich was delicious but fries were not and service was not good at all.

After a long two days of driving, my wife and I arrived in Mansfield after departing Ossipee, New…read moreHampshire Saturday morning. Too tired to cook, we decided that we should go out. There are relatively few dining options in Mansfield Ohio on a Sunday, thankfully Hudson and Essex is one that is available! We arrived without Reservations and seated in the dining room. We usually prefer the bar; however, as it was Sunday dinner, we wanted to be more proper. On Sundays, they do offer a dinner menu and a Sunday dinner menu. Their Sunday dinner menu is very good! We've had offerings on it before and have never been disappointed. This time we did decide to order off the regular menu. After ordering a round of cocktails to start with, we ordered a jalapeño flatbread appetizer special to start. Must say that that flatbread was extremely delicious and hot! The jalapeño slices could've been deveined and deseeded to tame the heat a little. For our main courses, I ordered their Caesar salad with blackened chicken, my wife their small filet, and mom their pierogi appetizer. Our meals came out well presented and delicious! It was the first time I've ever had their Caesar salad and I enjoyed it immensely. My wife always enjoys their steak and my mom raved about the pierogies. No formal desserts were ordered; however, I ordered a last word, which was delicious! Alec really is a great bartender and can make just about anything! All in all, another well done dinner at Mansfield's best restaurant!

Whenever traveling I always use YELP, and it was right on the mark here too. Having grown up in Youngstown, OH, and having lived near New Haven, CT, I have eaten a lot of wonderful Italian Food. We didn't want to wait for a table to open up in the regular restaurant so we decided to eat at the GASTRONOMIA Italian Deli (same kitchen as the back restaurant). My wife is handicapped and some very kind ladies moved to a "high" table so we could sit at a lower table. We ordered from a young lady with the most amazing blue eyes and she brought our food when it was ready. My wife had the Muffuletta Sub and I had the Mighty Meatball Sub. My wife could only eat 1/4 of her sandwich and I could only eat 1/2 of mine. If you have ever lived in one of the two places I mentioned, you know good Italian . This was WONDERFUL Italian. I can't wait to go back there!

From what I understand, Dennys is now gone, but I wish those folks from Burger Den would start a place of their own around here. Because this was a delivery during the height of covid, the service and ambiance in the restaurant was NOT Applicable. BRING BACK BURGER DEN!

This dish was the saltiest dish I have ever had, even grossly prepared popcorn doesn't hold a light to it. The fries were only good when I was attempting to eat the burger, but upon stopping they too gave up the disguise. Not good. The chocolate shake was the most disappointing. Didnt know chocolate tasted like this. This was a pickup order, but given there was a fella staring at me through the window with murder eyes from a booth as I walked in, im glad I didn't stick around. Perhaps he was trying to warn me to stay away. Instead of that stare I will simply warn everyone here with a cautionary tale. Do not order from here. I certainly hope Dennys makes a better breakfast than they do a burger. Open 24 hours is not enough to justify this meal, I should have gone hungry, and you should too.
