During the warm months many people travel on state route 235, usually heading to and from Indian Lake or Maumee River.
If traveling through Degraff, stop for a great meal and check out "Gangsters" ristorante.
They just got their alcohol license. Mostly wine but they also sell Bud lite and a few Italian beers. Personally, I've had a Moretti and Peroni there.

Also a back patio area, where they will soon be having live bands play.















(spamming and giving free advertising to a place I hope can stay in business around these parts...)

Nice photo gallery on their website, in case interested.
Gangsters is not your normal redneck bar. That's the other end of the block downtown Degraff, "Tammy Lynn Inn"

Both cities of Quincy and DeGraff are dumps.

Pretty much could be said for all of Shelby County, except maybe Anna or Minster.
I agree Degraff for the most part is a dump but not Gangsters.

Of all the places mentioned, only Anna is in Shelby County.

That's a great question. I guessed wrong and put it in the basement is my answer.


I've now heard from three different people Gangsters steaks are huge and taste awesome.


(edit) Discovered Gangsters is not a bar/restaurant. It's a restaurant, which has a side "bar" area with a pool table. They only have like four or five different beers, one of which is Bud lite. Rest are Italian beers. They just got their liquor liscense about a month ago.

Umm, nicest in Shelby maybe goes to FT. Loramie or Russia? What's the nicest town in Shelby, in your opinion?

Actually, Minster was in Shelby country at one point. Parts of Shelby and Allen were split off to form Auglaize County.

It is a question kind of like "which species produces your favorite turd".

Damn! I'll take the boring farm land counties of Western Ohio, over big-city counties like Cuyahoga or Hamilton.

Ft. Laramie is a very nice town. Most towns along route 66 are very nice.

Grandparents live in DeGraff. I have not tried Gangsters. All I've heard is that they're overpriced.

Many of the people I've heard say Gangsters is overpriced are unworldly and their idea of a good meal is Applebee's.

Is Gangsters more pricey than Restaurants which serve cooked processed food, purchased from a distributor? - Yes
Is Gangsters "overpriced" - No way.
