We want to stay away from fast food and the typical franchises.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Second favorite place up there is Thisty Pony. Fricken chicken, great fried food, decent beer selection.

If you go to Toft's, get the small cone, don't be a hero. The employees will talk you down to a small.

The Brown derby is not the original Gervis. Not that impressed by it.

Chet & Matt is good pizza, Cameos is better but in a scatchy part of town for outsiders.

If you venture out just a bit to Catawba, I agree with the poster who mentioned Mon Ami. Also, Nagoya is near Mon Ami, and is much better than the Japanese steakhouse in Sandusky.

The owner also runs a sub shop next door called Jack's Deli which has some of the best subs I've ever eaten but I believe he shuts it down in the winter still.
