Were taking the kids up to Kalahari for the weekend. I need help on dining around there. What's the hotspot? Maybe a hidden gem in the city?
We want to stay away from fast food and the typical franchises.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Weazy's (formerly Danny Boy's)
Samurai Japanese Steak House (good food/hibachi tables)
Crush
The Better Half
Hot Dog Tony's
Water Street Bar and Grille
Sortino's
Beradi's
Cameo
Chet & Matt's (I prefer Cameo pizza)
Mekong (great Vietnamese food and terrific beer selection)
And take the kids/family to Toft's Dairy for Ice Cream... Trust me.
And there are also plenty more options for food, but those are some of the more "local" faves..

Without a doubt I would go to Mekong. Unreal beer selection on tap and in bottles. No wine, no liquor, beer is the answer.
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.

It's located at Cedar Point. Pretty sure it's seasonal with the park.Belly35;1389801 wrote:Fame's Daves Ribs is that still in Sandusky? :laugh:

Weezy's/Danny Boys is awesome. Gives you huge portions so you can take back to hotel to warm up.

I enjoyed Mon Ami in Port Clinton. It's not far away.

Cameo's for sure.
Water Street Bar and Grille
Crush
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.
I was going to say Bay Harbor Inn at Cedar Point, but I just checked and they are closed til May.

Nagoya is legit, but also quite a bit more expensive as well.Fred Garvin;1389877 wrote:Cameo's for sure.

Everyone here is wrong. The place to go is Red Gables on Cleveland Rd. Near the airport. Best kept secret in the town IMHO.
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.

If you want a good burger at a hole in the wall kind of place I say that the Old Dutch Tavern is a good place to go too.

The best food, but very steep on prices and I would not take kids there.BoatShoes;1389940 wrote:Everyone here is wrong. The place to go is Red Gables on Cleveland Rd. Near the airport. Best kept secret in the town IMHO.

It's only $3-$5 more a plate than the one in Sandusky, but I think worth it.hoops23;1389878 wrote:Nagoya is legit, but also quite a bit more expensive as well.

Monami is for trashy people that like to think they are high class.
