We always dine at the restaurant on Griswold Road in Elyria, Ohio.The managers are eager to please, the servers are friendly and efficient. The restaurant is spic and span.Whether going for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Bob Evans always has plenty of items of which to choose.

I really don't have anything exciting to say about this restaurant. Small place, prices not that great for the quality of food. the sauce on the burgers were overloaded and oozing all over. good onion rings. Perch dinner was ok but sort of high priced for the 4 small pieces of fish. The cole slaw was one of the worst I ever tasted. Not sure I want to return.

As this restaurant was nearest our hotel, we dropped off our bags and came here before 6 pm when happy hour ends. Drafts were discounted and we got a great deal on four tasting plates which we shared. We sat at the bar, and the tender was very pleasant and gracious.Thank you for joining us, Maggie, please come again soon!

We were traveling from New York to Chicago and decided to spend the night in Elyria. After talking to a local person, we decided to try the Foundry as both of us are gluten free and the menu listed several gluten free choices. Usually gluten free means "taste free" - but this was not the case at the Foundry. We sampled the tomato bisque soup which was very flavorful and well seasoned. I had the Asian style salmon and received a large plate with a HUGE salmon filet over rice noodles with red pepper and peapods. My husband had a sandwich - gluten free choices for sandwiches were Texas Toast or bun. He had the Texas Toast which was delicious. Only small gaff was that our waitress had 10 tables to service - so things were a little slow, but we didn't mind. The menu has several appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts, and a large array of alcoholic beverages. When in the area we would definitely return.

We went to Roadhouse as a birthday gift. We were immediately seated and the service was outstanding. Food was superb and on time. It is no wonder that this restaurant is always crowded.

Senior specials Monday through Thursday. Food prices just raised about a $1/dinner, but basically still a good value. You get a choice of salad or the like, with soup and a choice of potato.
3. Midway Oh Boy Restaurant

My wife and I have lived in the Lorain/Elyria area for forty years. We are spening our summer experiencing local establishments. Oh Boy has been there since 1954 (before I started o drive) and has obviously been doing something right. We had - what else - the Oh Boy burger which is a double 1/8 pound burger on a three-tier bun, similar to the iconic Manner's Big Boy or the modern Big Mac. The Oh Boy sauce is unique, more mayo based than the pink sauces of other similar sandwiches. I rate the sandwich very high on my list and plan on going back. The fries and onion rings were also very good. Atmosphere was what I expected - a diner with stools at the counter ala Manner's. Each booth has an old-style jukebox system which unfortunately has to be programmed and paid for from a central unit by the door. I recommend it as a great bit of nostalgia and wish them well. The experience was fun. Wish there were some old Chevys and Fords outside :-)

We've stayed in Elyria a handful of times on our way to visit family further west (from DC). We've tried Wolfey's a couple of times & are fans. This is a well-run establishment - I'm talking in a class with the Gaylord in Dallas, TX with its convention crowds! This time there was a wait for a table in the regular part of the restaurant but none for the bar in the back. A bar that has multiple (empty) tables! We opted for the bar but didn't realize immediately the empty tables are up for grabs. The bartender was fast & super nice - directed us to the tables. We had our drink order then our meal order taken & arrive super fast. The waiter was unobtrusive but kept an eye out for us. There were 'normal' meal choices for my husband & interesting specials & seasonal choices for me. Seasonal drinks too - which I really enjoy trying. It was loud with multiple sports TVs but we were so pleased with the quality of the service, drinks & food it just didn't matter. A place we plan to come back to whenever we're in Elyria.
