This place has some of the best steaks, people drive hours to come eat at the Ribber. They do not take reservations, but you can call and get your name on a waiting list-make sure you do that on the weekends.

This is right next door to the Green Bean, you can walk right over. There are several beers on tap and Patties has some great, unique burgers. My personal favorite is the bootlegger with sweet potato tots.

The pizza is great, along with their wings. If you like beer, this is Ohio’s oldest brewery. Does get fairly busy on the weekends.

This is a local favorite. If you’re looking for some good BBQ, this is your spot. They have your basic American restaurant style foods, but their smoked wings are some of the best, IMO. Everyone in the family can find something to eat here, you can watch the game on several of their TVs, play Keno, and the staff is super friendly. If you’re here for a special occasion, they have multiple “party room” areas.
