The Gathering and Ribs
By michkid @ 7:03 AM :: 2152 Views :: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: Family

 

I have had a couple people from out of town recommend The Gathering and its ribs.  Having tried the ribs at Red Pig and ended up being very disappointed - dry and oversauced - I'm wondering about the other rib places in town.  I found New Riegel and enjoyed that - very different from traditional ribs but surprisingly very good.  What folks have to say about The Gathering?

The Elephant Bar and Restaurant The Elephant Bar and Restaurant
By walrus @ 5:41 PM :: 3129 Views :: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: Thai, Family, Oriental

I admit I had misgivings about trying the Elephant Bar and Restaurant, 5001 Monroe St., in Toledo.  Scoping out the restaurant’s website beforehand, it seemed to emphasize ‘family friendly’, with a special kids menu and certificate program.  I have children myself, so don’t get me wrong – I love kids.   Unless they are stranger’s kids who scream, yell, beg, cry or whine when I am trying to enjoy a meal.  Then….not so much!  Two other red flags: It is part of a chain and it is located in a busy mall parking lot.

To find Irish food at its best - come to Findlay, Ohio!


Jack & Jin's is one of those pleasant little surprises you stumble across every now and then (in my case, literally).  I had jogged past it on my Sunday run several times this winter, noticing the storefront in the small shopping pl...

I would love to try every 'small dish' on P.F. Chang's appetizer menu, but I know I won't.  Not that I don't plan to go there in future, its just that I know I will probably never get past the first item -   CHANG'S ...
