“We went to OCP last night for the Krendl show. We had a great time! Our server, Scot, was flawless! We had a large group, and he managed us with a bit of wit and total professionalism. The show was great, the service was great, and I especially loved the salmon!”

“We are from out of state and wanted to try a local restaurant…. And to say we were impressed is an understatement. The service, food, and atmosphere was amazing. We enjoyed the open kitchen to watch Chef Eric and the other chefs do their thing. We were very impressed with all the options with the food choices. We had a hard time choosing what we wanted to eat. The food was hands down the best food we have EVER had at a restaurant. You could taste all the flavor and each bite and could tell it was all made in the kitchen. We highly recommend The Met! You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back!!!!”

“We went here yesterday for my brother-in-law's birthday and we had amazing service + delicious food. We got 2 sushi rolls and hibachi for 5 people. It was fast, fresh and hot 🔥 Godzilla and shrimp tempura rolls came out first and they were perfect. She didn't forget a single thing we asked for and consistently checked on us and refilled drinks. Also, aparently our server (who was one of the best I've ever had and we travel all over and have had many servers in our day and I was also a server myself for a few years) overheard us say it was his birthday and when we were all done at the end she surprised him with a Sundae with a candle 🕯️🥹🥲🎈🎂 Unfortunately I didn't catch her name but she deserves a raise!! She was immaculate. 10/10 service and food. We will be back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻”

“I love that you can go online to check in to save your spot for those busy days.

“Bestest Hershey's hard dip ice cream ever! With so many flavors to pick from. Some examples banana pudding, mint freckle, moose tracks, superman, cookie dough and so many more. I've been coming to Jerry's for over 20 years. It's a secret I am now willing to share with the world. Giant portion sizes on the ice cream too. Impressed me 20 some years ago and to this day! I was introduced to this place by one of my mentors in the EMS field while serving the community. A little convenience store selling some delicious deli "samviches" and ice cream. Yes! Yes, you should try the subs too.”

“Free parking easy check in. The facility is in good shape. No upgrades available sold out. The room was quiet however the refrigerator was full of food and drinks from previous guests bagged that up had to find a trash can downstairs to throw it all away. Small pool and workout area. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired.”

“I visited kewpees for the first time this week. I got a burger fries and chili for food. This was one of the best diner burgers I have had. Cooked perfect and tasted amazing. The food came out quicker than any fast food ive had and tasted fresher than all of them. The chili was so good and perfect for a cold winter day. For the drive home I got a small malt and a pie for later. Both were excellent. The interior brings you back to the 60s and the prices do to. This place is 100% worth the stop.”

“Pizza is consistently delicious and fresh!!”

“Denny made a caramel dream iced latte for me that was absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be a returning customer!”

“I saw someone walk out with a drink that I wanted to try. I had never been, so I walked in and explained what the drink looked like. The girls working found the drink on a previous order and then made it for me. They were super kind, super friendly, and the drink was delicious! I will definitely be back!”

“We live in Michigan, visiting Georgia. We always stop here for the best Chinese food. From the soup to the egg rolls and the main event! The best”

“delicious food. great service. would recommend to anyone in the area. 10 out of 10.”

“Visited for the first time, great food, able to accommodate some food allergies, just ask when ordering your food. The employees love what they do and appeared to love what they do.
Food is inexpensive and great.
If it's your first time here, let them know, or let someone in line know.
There are 2 cash registers/order points, and 2 lines. It is busy, but the lines move really fast.”

“Very nice place. Food was so nice. Ordered the Gordita. I only wish they had mentioned drink refills cost. I don’t think any of the people we were with drank seconds, but we were charged. We didn’t even for refills they just showed up. Otherwise wonderful place..”

“We ate at Lima's finest food today. The food was amazing as was the service. 💯 Recommend”

“Been here three times. First time got bowls and they tasted amazing. exactly what you imagine when you read menu/ingredient board. Second time I got a juice pleasently surprised by the vegetable fruit mix. It didn't taste like just one or the other just a perfect mix. Third time came like 10 minutes to close unfortunately you can't order juice because there cleaning the juicers which absolutely fair. But I asked for a recommendation on the smoothie menu and after giving an genre I was given a remediation with a well detailed description. Also warning it will be slightly more expensive than you think. I ran the numbers on the cost and to be wildly honest it cost like 3$ more that going and buying the fruits and vegetables from the store.”

“These are the best classic cheeseburgers you will find anywhere. I love the fresh-ground, locally-raised, perfectly cooked beef patties. Sitting between a soft bun, melty cheese, and choice of condiments. 1 is never enough, get a double! The fries, pies, and everything else are good too. Service is fast in the drive-thru or in restaurant. You will be craving these burgers.”

“Had the burger and chili both hit the spot on a cold day. Wasn’t very busy at 1:00 but will be back to try a couple other tempting items”

“Have been coming here since I was in daycare and just graduated from hs......I swear their donuts have the most homey feel and are always the best of the best!”

“Lombardo’s is a Lima Musicians Institution where many many Lima musicians have played & broke bread. I spent my 1 to 9 years living with my grandparents about 200 yards from the parking lot of the bar. I had my first head shots taken sitting at the bar having a drink and smoking a cigarette 😆 phots that were taken by The Indoorfins (another local band) I am a creature of habit & nothing makes me happier than gathering at Lom’s the first Sunday of every month to celebrate “Blues Music” on the radio LIVE with Billy Elvis & 104.9 The Eagle. After the live radio show I play Live Blues Music. Join some true Lima Beans at a awsome Lima show with great Lima food”

“great food 😋 👌 👍 we will go back soon”

“This place is a true hidden gem. They have the most amazing authentic Mexican food. Everything I've tried in the menu has been delicious. Love the fun decor and the service is so good and friendly. El Cazador is a fantastic place to eat.”

I had the wine flight and a peanut butter chocolatini and Quinn got a bourbon flight! Mel was a lot of fun to talk to! We will definitely be back! Lima y’all need to show Purple Feet Wine Boutique some love! We appreciate our small businesses! Side note…TRY THE BOOZY CHOCOLATES!”

“The food was really good and the owners are a very friendly couple, they came out and had a nice conversation with us. Definitely a spot worth recommending to your friends”

“I went into Phoenix because I had recently been diagnosed with pre-diatetes. I needed to add more protein to my diet. I walked in and was greeted by Monique. She was welcoming and very knowledgeable. She was able to help me choose products that works for me. I've been going since February and have lost over 40lbs. Also my A1C is now a 5.1! Also my drinks are amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop in.”

“The food is always amazing. Amy and Kelly and the rest are always at their best.”

“Anytime I’m exiting I-75 and taking Bluelick road to north Lima, or vice versa, I try to stop into this place because they offer quick, affordable hot sandwiches for folks on the road”

“This is one of my favorite lunchtime spots. They have a lunch buffet, it's not the biggest buffet however the food is very good and the lunch price as very affordable.”

“I stopped into Paddy's Mac, Lima's oldest Irish pub, for a bit of nostalgia last night since I haven't lived here in 20 years. One question came to mind: when did Paddy Mac's become the spot? It was absolutely packed in there.

The atmosphere was vibrant with a live band playing outside who were simply amazing. Inside, there was a jukebox and a .75 cent pool table, adding to the pub’s old-school charm. The large drafts, over 32 oz, were only $4, and the food prices looked like they were straight out of the 90s.

The highlight of the night was definitely the bartender, Summer. Even though she was working the bar by herself, she handled it like a seasoned pro, ensuring that no one had to wait long for their drinks. It might have been her 30th birthday, but she was serving like she had been behind the pine for 30 years.

Paddy's Mac has truly become a gem and I will definitely be back on my next trip home.”

“These are great tacos and quesadillas. Friendly staff with good service. The salsas are tasty too.”

“Now this place might not look the greatest, for all you, Karen folk!BUT THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN TOWN! OLD MAN, SALMON, INSIDE, REALLY COURTEOUS, PUNCTUAL, CLEAN. I BELIEVE IT'S A SIGN INSIDE OR SOME FAMILY MEMBERS, COULD BE FRIENDS WHO KNOWS… BUT THIS GANG USUALLY STICKS TOGETHER, BECAUSE THE FOOD TASTES BETTER THAT WAY! I MADE A SPECIAL REQUEST, SESAME PORK WITH SHRIMP, LO MEIN NOODLES, AND THE HUNAN DOUBLE SPICY BEEF WITH WHITE RICE, KILLER! AND FYI, I'M COMING FROM VANCOUVER, HOME OF CHINATOWN! AND I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS GOOD! WE WILL BE BACK DEFINITELY GUYS KEEP IT UP!!! ? Sheh Sheh Ahh!!”

“Perfectly cooked pizza and I dont usually get "boneless wings" but theres are very good.”

“Would never have thought of nacho cheese with bread sticks. What a game changer. Exactly what you will find here. The pizza is tavern style. Crust isn’t too thick but not thin and crispy. The sauce is a little on the sweet side but not that overly sweet sauce you find at some places. Nice and cheesy pizza for sure. I see why so many local people I know and the hotel we stayed at recommended them.”

“I ordered 24 Lil John lunches for a college volleyball team's take home bag for a tournament. I requested a specific way to pack it up and the store did even better than I asked. The employees made it easier than I expected! The girls loved the food !”

“This is the first time I came home with something I didn't order. I asked for 4 piece chicken, but got home with 4 piece fish. I don't like seafood.

But despite it all, the entire staff was incredibly kind, went above and beyond for us, compensated for our wait without us saying anything about it, and stayed calm and collected, even with the large line of people. The quality of food was so good — everything was fresh and the dining/seating area was very clean! We were throughly impressed with Ashley and Alex especially! They’re warm and friendly attitudes made the visit beyond pleasant!”

Ps the pizza they customized for me didn’t have a chance”

“I ordered a mushroom and swiss burger with bacon. Adding bacon costs $1.99 extra! I just wanted the sandwich and a drink, but the girl taking my order thought I wanted the meal. I didn't realize that until she handed me my bag and there were fries in it. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I didn't say anything.”

“I enjoyed the Tuscan Asiago Bagel. This place does have good sandwiches. The sweets miss the mark tho. I'm sure new customers would appreciate some direction of where their food will come out.”

“When I walked into the store today, Terrance was taking food to a couple at a table and I was watching while I waited for him to return to the counter. This young man was so pleasant with the guests. He then came to wait on me and while doing so was taking care of customers on his headset as well. He has OUTSTANDING customer service and should be commended for it.”
