Some Ohioans have found their new favorite restaurant while here in town for work! We took a bite of our cod and shrimp and had to sit back in the chair because it was so good. We’ve already planned our next visit and what we’re having. And we’ll definitely be back for breakfast. The service was excellent and our waitress Cheryl was phenomenal! Returned for breakfast and and all we can say is WOW!!! Best breakfast I’ve had by far since traveling for work.
This was a very good place to eat. They have a humongous menu selection consisting mostly of traditional comfort foods. The service is good, the food is tasty, & the portions are big! I got their Bigfoot Chicken Fried Steak which was 10oz in size, fried crispy, & then covered in gravy. It was very good! My wife & I also split a small pie for dessert which was exceptional! That's something you should definitely get if you go there. The waitress was even nice enough to package it up to go for us so we could take it home & have it there.
I like the decor here! It’s bear-themed to the extreme, but cute nonetheless. This even extends to the exterior. The place could be kept in cleaner condition (dining areas and restroom). The staff probably can’t keep up with the sloppiness of the clientele, but still, it detracts somewhat. The food is very nice, and the helpings are extra size/good value. Most dishes could probably be split. The coffee is pretty good, though I’m not sure it’s worth $3.49 per cup (don’t believe the coffee 5¢ sign). The service is very pleasant and attentive. You also might have to wait for a table during peak hours. Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options Parking: Parking lot can be filled to capacity at times
