Clean, neat building and simple front face come off a but plain but the restaurant and food is anything but. Being a long local restaurant, I've driven by it all the time but rarely stopped to eat since I live a town or two over. But I've gone twice recently and both times have been such a great experience I felt I needed to share about it. The servers and staff are friendly and we even got a wonderful chat from one about her dog. It wasn't completely packed either time we went, but if it had been I think the layout was set up in a great way for coziness not crowding. For those who might want to sit alone at a counter they have a section right at the front for individual seating with a TV if you like. The atmosphere is basically old fashioned local restaurant, with a moderate (a.k.a. not 5 pages) menu of quality, well priced comfort food with daily specials for variety. It's the kind if place you go to sit and talk with the other person in your booth and catch up on life over coffee or tea and a soothing meal. It's not surrounded by TVs with a sports game or anything, but has a more calm atmosphere. And don't think for once that because this restaurant has been around a while that it's "old" because every single booth, carpet, table, light etc is in good shape and clean and I didn't see a single cobweb anywhere! One of the cleanest places we have eaten at in a long time. Food? Tastes just like my mom used to make, which is a great compliment. So far I've tried the breakfast sandwich with hash browns and the beer-cheese soup with garlic bread. Hubby had an omelet and also steak and eggs. All have been great! Can't wait to try it for dinner sometime because breakfast has been awesome. Last visit was $30 for 2 of us and that included the steak and eggs and extra sides.Kid-friendliness: Family style cozy restaurant, not a bar n grill kinda place.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, handicap spots

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat that tastes like home cooking this is a place to be. They have a pretty large menu and their breakfast menu is personally my favorite. The breakfast skillets are fantastic All the servers always make you feel right at home. Very affordable as well which I love because nowadays is very hard

I went to the Cafe in Stow and ordered the small order of chicken cordon bleu. My son ordered the steak panini. When the server brought our dinners she asked me if I wanted a dinner roll. I was confused by this and told her I thought my dinner came with one. She said it did, but she wasn't going to bring it if I wasn't going to eat it because it would "just get thrown in the bin". Wait . . . what??? I felt like a 5-year old being admonished for wasting food. I was quite surprised and said, "Okay. Well, don't bring it, I guess". I was too shocked by this to argue about it. THEN, my meal arrived. I don't know how on earth this dish was considered to be chicken cordon bleu. It was a bland, dry chicken breast, with one extremely thin slice of deli ham on top of it. On top of that were 4 croutons. Were those in place of breading?? On top of the croutons was a paper-thin slice of rubbery, melted cheese. The croutons were a gross, soggy mess. I set them aside. Uh-oh! I guess the croutons had to go in the "bin"! I couldn't eat all of the chicken as it was dry and unseasoned. My son's steak panini was . . . food. Not awful, but not good. This was our first, and last, visit to this restaurant.

I don't feel it is great value for the money. You can get a much better lunch for 10.00 at Longhorns. Seems very pricey.

Worse than a deserted roadside Denny's. Ew. Awful and we had to chase down the server to get napkins refill tea and we had to search for her to get our check.Maybe a fluke that day but I'll have to be pretty hungry to drive back into that parking lot.

My brother in law and I stopped here while traveling through Ohio . Enjoyed everything about the place. Employees were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Prices were very reasonable. If we are in the area again, we plan to stop again and try other items on the menu.
Not what it used to be.
