Enjoy taking my grandsons here for a meal. They enjoy the mac and cheese which is so different from the average mac and cheese. Very good.The portions are quite large. And we all enjoy the stromboli. The nacho supreme is also very good. And the portion is more than adequate. The disappointing aspect of this restaurant is the NOISE level. It has always been a problem. High ceilings and hard surfaces really contribute to the problem. They are always very busy and it does not seem to deter their clientele. They also have a full bar.

Really I’m just reviewing this to tell you to go as soon as possible and try their chicken and waffles. Like everything there the portions are huge and homemade but the chicken n waffle combo is honestly one of the finest breakfast/brunch meals you’ll ever find. The bacon in the waffles and the homemade mustard sauce seal the deal.

Very fresh salad and great strip steak with the fixings. Nice portion of brown gravy for the steak fries. Great Sangria Red and rolls with cinnamon butter. High noise level on busy occasions but very attentive staff! Recommended for sure.

It's a nice little dive and the service seemed friendly enough but the over all experience was disappointing. The burger comes with shredded lettuce and this white sauce that's like thinned out mayonaise but with less flavor. The patties were thin and dry and I'm guessing the buns were on discount at the beverage store next door. I'm not saying it's bad, it just wasn't good. There was a small amount of shredded lettuce on the side with that white sauce and topped with a pickle slice. That's what they call a salad. I put the pickle on the burger to make it more palatable. The only upside is the fries reminded me of real good McDonald fries but I'm the eternal optimist.

While traveling along I-80, we stopped in Elyria for the evening. The hotel clerk recommended "The Foundry". We loved the historic setting. Our waitress was fine. The food that we ordered was just 'average'. When I order meat loaf, I expect to get slices of meat from a loaf, not three meat balls. Since we often travel this route and stay in the general area, we will probably try The Foundry again, but order something different.

Don't bother ordering soup, salad and breadsticks alone because they come with most of the meals. Early dinner (3-5 PM) special Mon-Thur not honored on holidays. Waitress very good. Chicken and gnocchi soup very good.

Tired travelers came in near closing, and I noted the "specials" board didn't list prices. The waitress recommended the fresh Lake Erie perch. It was a generous portion, more heavily breaded than I prefer, and the cole slaw was tasty. I wasn't expecting to pay $19, considerably more than the regular entrees on the menu!

My wife and I always enjoy Red Lobster. We are big seafood lovers and are expecially fond of the biscuits. Typically you receive great service at Red Lobster, and out waiter was expecially attentive and accommodating. I had the Bar Harbor Seafood Bowl and my wife the Salmon. Both dishes were well done and enjoyable. This was a nice change from fast food at many stops on our trip.

This is a great resturant! We had a large group of ladies for a Christmas Party. We did call ahead of time to make reservations; however, they did not have adequate staff to assist us. Nevertheless, the food was good and we were all satisfied with the food selections.
