Three of us met my wife's parents at Ralphie's Sports Eatery for lunch when they opened at 11am on…read moreSaturday. Being the first customers, we had our pick of tables at the restaurant, however we asked to be moved to a different table, because the music coming out of the speakers above the first table was so deafening that the grandparents could not hear us. Instead, the hostess moved us to a table under a speaker which was just merely loud. While we liked how speedily the waitress brought our drinks -three waters, a diet, and a Pepsi- when we said we needed a few more minutes to review the menu before ordering food, we were surprised that she took over 10 minutes before she checked back with us again. The menu is big, but not that big! Eventually we were able to place our orders: wraps for my in-laws, southwestern chicken chunks with onion straws for my wife, buffalo mac 'n cheese for my child, and for me, the chipotle BBQ bacon cheddar burger -cooked "pink" please!- with onion rings. While our food arrived in a reasonable period of time, it looked ... off. The southwestern chunks and buffalo mac 'n cheese had clearly spent quite some time under the warmer, because the cheese at the edges of the plates were crispied and cooked dark brown and hard, whereas the cheese in the center was separating into the watery whey and the curds. Likewise, my burger not only was not the "pink" I had requested, but it had been cooked down to a dry, nearly flavourless disc. The chipotle BBQ sauce might have been tasty, but it had been so stingily applied to my sandwich, I could not tell (there was so little sauce on my burger, that not a single drip of it came off my sandwich to land on my plate while I was eating). On the plus side, the onion rings were hot and tasted good, and my mother-in-law said her club wrap was good. Service during our meal was ... uneven. After she took our orders, the waitress never checked back with us until the food arrived. As such, my Pepsi had long ago run dry, and my wife's diet was nearly empty. After that, she did better at bringing refills for our sodas, but never once asked the water drinkers if they wanted more. The waitress also was not very engaging with us (my father-in-law described her as having no personality), and she mostly just seemed to be going through the motions in a perfunctory fashion. PROS: the music was so loud that I could not get myself in trouble with my in-laws by telling any off-colour stories; also, the onion rings were good CONS: food that over cooked and over warmed, and wait staff who were just phoning it in Overall I am going to rate Ralphie's Sports Eatery as being Meh and say that we might or might not return.

Home of the Famous Bologna Sandwich…read more That's the bold claim G & R Tavern has been making in Waldo, Ohio for more than 60 years, and judging by the line waiting outside when we arrived shortly after noon, plenty of people believe it. Located in a village of about 300 residents, G & R Tavern has become one of Ohio's most popular destination restaurants. Visitors come from all over the state to try the sandwich that put this small-town tavern on the map. Founded in 1962 by George Yake and Roy Klingel, G & R Tavern has become a true Ohio institution. In 1985, Rick's family purchased the restaurant and has continued the tradition ever since. During our visit, I had the opportunity to speak with Rick and learn that the next generation is already preparing to carry on the family tradition. In a time when many independent restaurants struggle to survive from one generation to the next, that's something worth celebrating. The atmosphere is exactly what longtime fans have come to love. Wood-paneled walls, a bustling dining room, homemade pies in the dessert case, and an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare today. Even the cash-only policy somehow feels right at home here. As for the famous sandwich, it continues to live up to its reputation. This Ohio classic features a thick-cut slice of fried bologna topped with melted American cheese, sweet pickles, and onion on a soft bun. It's simple, flavorful, and easy to understand why people continue making the trip to Waldo year after year. Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my wife, who ordered the fried bologna sandwich as well. That's not something she would normally choose, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. The fries were hot and crispy and made a great companion to the meal. Some places become popular for a season. Places like G & R Tavern become part of Ohio's history.

The food was OK. I had the bologna sandwich and it was everything a fried bologna sandwich should…read morebe. Ordered fried pickles à la carte as there are no side dishes with entries. They were OK also. Where my visit suffered was in the customer service space. I was off put initially how the greeter man was adamant about standing outside while they wait for a cleared table. Then we got seated and it took 25 minutes for anyone to ask "have you been helped yet?" From that point on chasing down serve staff became the name of the game. Since I stopped on my way back from Hocking Hills to Toledo, I was really looking forward to this experience. Ended up being pretty disappointed. If it matters, it did appear that they serviced their local regular customers with an abundance of warmth & haste. Looked like they had a great experience.

Many things to choose from had a hard time making a choice...Lol. Hubby settled for the Peanut Butter and Bacon burger with waffle fries. He enjoyed his burger. He said it had a nice taste to it. Was not disappointed. I decided on the chicken chunks with a few sauces to taste test them. The chunks were yummy and I loved the Honey BBQ sauce. Really nice flavor to it. Our waitress was very pleasant and took good care of us. Whenever we are in town we will be back!!!
