“My husband and I had our micro-wedding dinner at Sortino’s and we could not have had a better experience! Charity, the restaurants’ general manager, and her team went above and beyond to make the evening so incredibly memorable and perfect. Charity made sure Mr. Sortino himself stopped by to meet us and spend time with us- making our night even more special 💕. Don’t even get me started on the food! Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala and the Anti-Pasta Board. Only complaint is how far away from us Sortino’s is (we live in Virginia) ☺️. Thank you so much to Charity, our server, Nick (I believe), Giorgio, and the entire Sortino’s staff!”
“Visited Sandusky Oh location Amanda was great & very friendly & made the experience very nice. Service was fast & food was great!”
“Amazing place which is why I drive over an hour to come here BUT my only complaint is if they can post when their kitchen is closed. They post everything else on their Facebook but not their kitchen hours. Other than me crying about the kitchen this place is amazing.”
“Ted, my server was incredible. He treated me and my party like family. The drinks were incredible and came out so quickly, try a home brew! The food was cooked perfectly and the seasoning and flavor were on point. I honestly can't say enough good things about the place! I will be back every time I'm in town.”

“My daughter and I came in this afternoon after volunteering for the iron man we were starving… we sat at another downtown restaurant for over 20 minutes being completely ignored while everyone around us was being served so we ended up leaving and coming here… we sat outside a women greeted us at the door apologized and said there was only one server outside so it might be a minute.. which was amazing considering the last place we were at. We had a guy server can’t remember his name but he was great.. even though we did wait for a minute it was okay because we were acknowledged and not ignored. Server was super friendly and nice the food was DELICIOUS! 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!”

“Truly disappointed ☹️- got the most expensive item on the menu - lobster and grits - it was very salty and the grits were not southern grits - they were bland - I’m used to having the dark gravy (made with coffee). Don’t good chefs taste their food - and I couldn’t enjoy any taste of the lobster! Waited so long to go there- wasted a very expensive meal!!”
“This is my favorite go to spot it’s delicious and clean and staff is friendly. The only thing I would change is that they’d open up another store in vermilion/amherst so we could enjoy it more often. I feel like it would thrive this way considering there’s no other froyo near by! Might be something to look into.”
“We finally tried their grinders and we were not disappointed. It was great and everything was fresh. We got the west coast turkey and the heavy Italian. Very nice staff, the chip selection was great. We will definitely return to try the other grinders and other menu items.”
“The place itself looks nice but it's chinsy. The food is basic there's nothing special about it. Minimal portions unless you spend good money you'll leave hungry. They charge you a 3% sur charge when you use a Credit card I didn't see that posted anywhere. The Menu is all over the place meh. $4 soft drink and don't get ask if you want a Refill. NOT worth the HYPE”
“I've eaten there more than a few times and tonight, the change in bar staff really showed. I planned on ordering my favorite pizza in town- the Cubano, which has always been good with the mustard taste at the top and i ordered desert to go and sporadically added an app. All my bad there for bothering this poor soul behind the bar, asking why this pizza was covered in mayo, i guess they added more "honey mustard aioli" and shoved it back at me but it's going no where but the trash, so I paid, tipped, and as I left this poor man mutters "i wish I wasn't here" I get about 3 dinners a year, if that, alone without my kids and I'll go where your old bartender is next time, or anywhere that will fix their mistake and not shrug at me. I'm not here for Bike Week 🤷♀️ You re only as strong as your local supporters and I'm so sad my favorite pizza is just mayo now. He said they added more the cold sauce, what? Just what I needed, more sauce. I already asked once, he was clearly done with his night and honestly I can just take my money somewhere else, it doesn't matter. I know.”
“It’s nice to a more authentic Asian eatery near toursit areas. It’s a couple notches up from Panda express & below artisan ramens. To me it felt like a higher end instant ramen with warmed up ingredients. It’s about as good as I can make at my house but not as good as a mom ‘n pop. Decent selection of teas & smoothies as well as a few specialty dishes which surprised me. Very friendly staff! Airy & clean restaurant.”
“The Crab legs are my absolute favorite! I get them every time I go to cedar point! Must try!”
“The waitress was amazing the place was clean and inviting. There were 5 of us and we all ordered the ribeye. There was so much pepper on these steaks most of us could not eat it all. The other food was good but the steak was very disappointing.”

“Steven was our server last night and he was an absolute delight! Everything was wonderful! Steven greeted us asking if we were celebrating anything and it just so happened we were there for our twins birthday. He immediately handed them each an arcade card. So sweet! The food was quick, hot and delicious! We will definitely be back again next time we come to kalahari!”

“Randi was hands down the highlight of my visit to famous Dave’s . Not only did she crush it as a server, but she was super sexy the whole time. Honestly, I’m already thinking about going back just to try my luck at getting her number (and maybe a little more if the universe is on my side). Best chicken, best service, best reason to come back.”
“Tom and his wife are amazing. 😍 The food was perfect and the atmosphere of the biergarten was to die for. will be back VERY soon🤤”
“The food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time, but what really made our night was that our server noticed my daughter was sad and promptly worked to fix the situation. She was kind and awesome, and we are grateful.”

“The ribs are always cooked to perfection but my go to is a nice juicy beef brisket sandwich. The sides ( green beans, smoked beans, mac n cheese, etc) all tasty with great flavor. Assorted limited edition items and desserts are a fun surprise and never fail to be just as good as their bbq. Great customer service every time I stop there. Worth the drive and the money.”
“We had an awesome experience at Danny Boys—the food was seriously top-notch across the board… except for the feta bruschetta dip. That one really missed the mark. It didn’t have much flavor, and the texture just didn’t work. The crackers were all broken, so it was nearly impossible to actually scoop the dip without making a mess. Compared to how great the rest of the menu is, the dip felt like it came from a totally different place. Just being honest—it’s the only thing we wouldn’t order again. Everything else? Phenomenal!”

“Best fish and chips - super friendly and quick service. They were fantastic!! Our kids enjoyed too and they are picky eaters :) bravo!”

“Great people, great service, great Energy, best healthy drinks and packages and snacks. Terrific smiles that you don’t see anymore! Always thinking of different ideas for drinks! Great! Great! Great!”
“Absolutely outstanding and efficient customer service from Ryan! He made our experience 10 times better and boy was he on it! Thanks Ryan!”

“really nice little bar off the beaten path...”
“The bar is clean, the help is wonderful. They stay open like thier hours state. Food is awesome and affordable. The atmosphere has really changed in there since the last neighborhood bar. I definitely feel more comfortable there and enjoy meeting friends to hang out for the games nowadays.”
“Everybody (& dogs) loves Cobb's!! Not unusual for the drive -through line to be halfway down the block. There are a handful of these locally owned mom-n-pop ice cream & sandwich joints in Sandusky, but this is the favorite. The employees are friendly & fun...”
“We visited last week while renting a condo about a block from Tony's for a week. We found this place by accident, just strolling thru town. Our son wanted wings and it was the first place with a menu our family of 4 could all agree upon. We came in from the back and up the patio to enter and weren't sure what to put expect. We were impressed with the interior and that it was the first restaurant (4th overall in Sandusky on our trip) with an adequate cooling system. We were all impressed with our choices. My husband had the Greek cheesesteak and loved it. I couldn't decide between the mac & cheese hot dog or the French Dip. Our server JP a suggested the French Dip and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. I think their seasoned mayo is what makes their sandwiches! The daughter and I both got the mac and cheese. She said it was the best mac & cheese she's ever had and she's never impressed. If we are ever back in Sandusky, we're definitely coming back!”
“Great people , and wine . Great history here if into wine need to make it a stop. Will be back many times I am sure Also have great option of gluten free cauliflower pizza”
“Love enjoying a cocktail with a burger and fries while seating on a pier! Once your order is in, it’s usually quick service. Beautiful fun spot to enjoy lunch. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been delicious. Definitely recommend if you enjoy outdoor seating and don’t mind a little occasional wind. This is also my GF’s favorite spot in town.”

“We love Twisted 3! Great food including huge salads and fair prices. It can get busy which can occasionally slow things down, but with the aforementioned great prices I couldn’t care less. Yes you have to buy a key card after a few visits but you make that money back quick in savings.”
“My family and I dined at Casa Real in Sandusky, OH. yesterday July 12, 2025. Overall it was a great experience. I only took one star on the overall rating because seating was cramped, but then again I am 6'5" so I guess that makes a difference. However what make my experience exceptional was the service. Our waitress name was Dianna. Wow, she is awesome. She took care of us better than any waitress that I have had probably ever, and that is saying something because I've been around for a wh ile and love to eat out. She kept our drinks full and everytime we needed something she was there and got it for us quickly and didn't forget anything. And believe me, they were super busy, but our family needs were met very very quickly and always with a smile. Dianna, I hope you and your boss can read this, I want to thank you for such a great experience. You have a new customer at least as long as you work there.”
“On Saturday may 14th our son held his marriage ceremony and reception there. It was absolutely beautiful. The care we received was outstanding. The food was amazing. Could not of asked for it to be any better. Thank you Julie for the care you and your amazing stafe provided us!”
“The food at Daly’s is always good. Extensive menu and daily food specials keep me coming back. Always quick service from friendly bartenders. A staple in Sandusky that’s been around forever for a reason! Plenty of room for everyone with a huge bar and a large dining room.”
“Great deals as well as have everything for all your family members! Make this your one stop shop! And also love the food at the cafe can take the kids there to eat and not break the bank!”
“This review is based on a one night stay. The hotel was fairly close to Cedar Point. Was this a five star hotel? No. Was it the cleanest? No. Was it the most modern upscale hotel? No. Was the staff ultra helpful and friendly? No. Was it 300 a night? No!!! I was looking for a decent hotel to literally crash at after 12 hours at Cedar Point. Here was my criteria... A comfortable bed. Check! A decent shower. Check! Less than 300 a night. Check!Bottom line if you don't want to spend a fortune on a place after a long day at Cedar Point and you are going to crash 20 minutes after arriving then this is a great option. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and had lots of pressure.Just my two cents”
“thanks craig for shearing ---yes your dad was a good man and he made sure No one took advantage of the dancers. He would tell you to leave if you got out of hand, i know”

“A great new addition to Cedar Point! The food was really good and the line went really quick. Awesome composite furniture with lots of outdoor seating and a nice atmosphere. You can use your unlimited drink here.”
“We always like coming here for the food. Sad to hear it will be closed in winter. I think many people don't know the place is here. They should advertise. The food and service are good , you get a view of water, boats and theme park. People may not know parking is reimbursed”

“I was really impressed with the service in the bakery today. It's 2 days until Thanksgiving, so of course they were super busy. I needed a Boston Cream Pie for my son's birthday. I asked for help because I couldn't find one, and Jen went in the back to look (twice), got one out of the freezer, and then wrote on it for me with icing, smiling the whole time. I could have cried, because I didn't want to disappoint my son, but Jen delivered! Many thanks Jen! Also, Cathy, the cashier, is another gem. Always courteous & smiling, even 2 days before a major food holiday! Thanks again”

“Fantastic people, I have been buying perch by the 11 pound box for years and actually 2 boxes per year and have never , in repeat never found a bone. The people on here that score less than 5 stars are full of crap! People that wait on me are great ……. Take another look, this place and people are above the rest!!”
