Steve's Dakota
Grill (submitted by Evie)
We know we're not the first of our members who have eaten here but we'll be the first to review it. There are four Steve's Dakota Grill's in Ohio. They're located in Medina, Findlay, Marion and Ontario. The style of decor is northwestern lodge and has a natural stone fireplace, game trophies hanging on the walls and natural wood throughout. Their specialty is prime rib which is slow-cooked on a rotisserie with a hint of rosemary and is absolutely delicious! Combined with the salad, homemade garlic mashed potatoes, fresh, hot rolls with walnut butter, we couldn't have asked for a better meal served by a friendly waitress in a timely manner. For $14.99 we give it a two thumbs up! Now the dessert! When you order Steve's Tower Cake they warn you that one serving is enough for two people and you will be taking some home. You have two choices. Carrot cake or chocolate. The carrot cake was to die for! The service was fast and friendly but an extra special touch that evening was that the owner, Steve, was on hand making sure we were taken care of. (Since this was our first trip to Steve's in Medina, we're not sure if this is a normal occurrence.) http://www.stevesdakotagrill.com/locations.html

Knowing
that I really needed a cheese fix, Gary decided we
needed to make a quick trip to Amish country in the
middle of January. It was the Saturday that northern
Ohio received about 8 inches of snow. There was no snow
coming down while we drove to Charm with the plan to
stop at Guggisburg for cheese and then to hop across the
street to Chalet in the Valley for a late lunch. We
were dismayed to learn that Chalet was closed for
remodeling but we remembered Grandma’s Homestead is
right down the road so we headed there. We were even
MORE shocked and dismayed to find that Grandma’s was
ALSO closed for remodelin. Well, it is their ‘off’
season so we understand but we were now really hungry.
We got out our trusty Garmin 2610 and punched up some
food and drink places. Closest one that looked good was
in Millersburg at “Hotel Millersburg Tavern”. Why not?
What would be bad about a good Tavern burger, we
thought! We were pleasantly surprised to find out this
tavern is no ordinary tavern. It is really a functioning
hotel and full-service restaurant. I’m not saying that
the burgers wouldn’t be good—I’m sure they would—but we
had to try something from their menu. Gary chose the
Mushroom Pork Chops while I selected Mushroom Chicken.
Both are listed as flambéed in a sherry and cream
sauce. The pork chops are center-cut and could be cut
with your fork. The chicken was just as tender and
delicious!! We both chose the soup du jour instead of
the salad (bad, I know). It was Cheeseburger Soup and
it was superb. I can imagine sitting by a window,
watching the snow come down and eating a bowl of this
soup. It is definitely on my list of comfort foods.
Needless to say, we were stuffed and the bill was very
reasonable. This is on our list of places that we must
visit again! 
In
addition to taking a tour of the Jack Daniel's
distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, eating at Miss Mary
Bobo's is a must! Home-style cooking is served
sit-down style in
individual dining rooms in this southern-style home. You will share your
table with other guests and eat some of the finest
southern cooking you've ever had! Reservations are
a must and it is recommended they be made several months
in advance as people come to Miss Mary Bobo's from all
over the world to eat. To read more about Miss
Mary Bobo's, the following link is included.
Would
you like to try some of the best ice cream around in mammoth
proportions and incredibly cheap?!! No joke, the kiddie size
cone is the size of a big adult cone. Their banana
splits are huge! In addition to
ice cream, there is a general store with a large variety of lunch meats,
cheese, specialty items and also a gift shop. Parking is
ample but if you're facing the building, beware of the
parking lot to the left - it's gravel. The front and
right lots are paved.
