This page is devoted to eating establishments in the United States where members have eaten and feel are worth the return trip either because of the uniqueness of the place or because the food was just plain outstanding!

 

Side Note:  In the name of pure research we have decided to sacrifice ourselves by indulging in the culinary arts!  Let the feasting begin! 

 
Henrey Wahner's (submitted by Evie)
Kent, Ohio

Don't expect to see anything fancy on the inside or outside of Henrey Wahner's, but the food is fabulous (my favorite is the Seafood Platter and the Yaeger potatoes!).  Portions are mammoth! I watched as the wait staff served steaks and prime rib to other tables and it looked like something out of the Flintstones!  HUGE!  Authentic German food too.

 
Hotel Millersburg Tavern (submitted by Gary & Betty)
Millersburg, Ohio

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! 

They also have Dinner Theatre presentations every 3 months. The rooms as VERY reasonable and it was recently remodeled by the new owners.  Heck, I’ve always wanted to spend the night in Amish country to make sure I got a full day of shopping

Miss Mary Bobo's (submitted by Evie)
Lynchburg, Tennessee

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.

Mudd Valley Creamery (submitted by Evie)
Walnut Creek, Ohio

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. 

Mudd Valley Creamery is located in Walnut Creek which is about 4-1/2 miles East of Berlin, Ohio on Route 39.  For you GPS geeks, the coordinates are:  N40° — W081°

The (mammoth) banana split is two thumbs up and for the best experience you must have it made with three different flavors of Hershey's ice cream.  If you have it made with boring vanilla, it just won't be the same!

 

 

 
 

Steve's Dakota Grill (submitted by Evie)
Medina, Ohio

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.)
