Very good and reasonably priced! Location was clean and wait staff was efficient. I would definitely go back again!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was pretty good. I had fish, my partner had a salad. The decor is fun and welcoming. Good for a casual date.

We just needed a place to eat and it was close. What a surprise. Nice atmosphere really good service friendly waitress welcome us and gave us a great recommendation. She was spot on the fish Tacos were really fresh, delicious and filling. Unfortunately we asked for advice on dessert and she hit out of the park. Homemade cheesecake as good as my grandmother's. I don't usually fill out these responses and give testimonials but well deserved.

Anybody that's rating this below 4 stars, hit the road. Here's my thought, it's a 4 star restaurant (probably like a 4.3) when comparing it to every restaurant in the Stark County/Portage/Summit area. When you compare it to Springfield? It's a 6 star restaurant, if such a thing exists. They have the absolute best appetizer menu I've ever seen. There were 8 items on the appetizer menu and with just 3 of us, we obviously couldn't order all of them. We started with the Bavarian pretzels, mashed potato balls, calamari and sauerkraut balls. And that's also the order I would rank them. The pretzels were the best I've had, maybe ever. The mashed potato balls would have been at the top of any other restaurants list, but not here. The sauerkraut balls were good, but not great and the calamari was also good. For our entrees, we split a patty melt, which might as well be called a party in your mouth melt. To die for. We also split the ribeye, and here's my story about that: 12 years ago, my wife and I were at Hyde Park in Columbus and I had to this day, the greatest ribeye I've ever had in my life. The problem comes, that I'm always chasing that ribeye. Every time I go to a restaurant, I debate in my head between the filet and the ribeye. And 99 times out of 100 I go with the ribeye. And 99 times out of a hundred, I regret my decision... Until tonight, IG does what everybody needs to do but only a select few are able to do and that's what makes the ribeye fat the best part of the steak. Somehow this place in a strip mall in Sprngfield OH does what every steakhouse tries to do, nails the ribeye.

Returned for dinner. Appetizer was the crab cakes. Not bad not amazing. The burger was cooked medium rare - just as I asked. That gets you a star every time!!! The horseradish Ailoi was really good. Sweet potato fries good. I'll be back to try more!!!

The place was not busy at all during lunch time. That made me a little nervous that this place was terrible. Not the truth though. It was quiet and a little dark in there and kinda weird decor but I've wanted to try this place for a while. We started with the crabcakes. They were the worst part of our meal. Seemed a little overcooked and more breading than crab. The sauce on top helped mask the almost burnt taste. The reuben was very good. Flavor profile was different than most as it was almost a creamy taste overall to it. The sweet potato fries were some of the best I've had. The Philly was huge and really good and while the wife didn't like the horseradish aoli, I did. Even dipped my reuben in it. The onion rings were real good and actually had seasoning. Something that probably limits them a bit is their location in the little strip mall they are in but definitely would be back to try something else.

I have passed this place probably 200+ times through the years and always said I wanted to try it and never did, that is until yesterday! I've really missed out. The mashed potato balls were amazing and I could've just eaten about 20 of them and called it a day, that's how good they were. The French onion soup wasn't the best I've had, if it wasn't bad. The Reuben was one of the better Reuben's I've had. Service was good and the place was nice inside. Will definitely be back.

I was pleasantly surprised at this place. I didn't have many expectations since we went here on a whim for lunch. And upon entering I was pleased to see the place was nicely decorated and clean. You can tell a lot by the way a restaurant keeps itself looking inside and they got my approval. We all partook in their burger special. I got the Rodeo burger and my wife got the Southwest Chipotle burger. The Rodeo burger was very tasty and perfectly cooked; and the Cajun seasoned fries were well balanced with flavor. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. If you're looking for good food for decent prices and nice atmosphere, this is the place to go!

Absolutely love this place! It's about 10 min from uniontown/hartville area and in a nice little location. Upon entering we were greeted and the tables/floors/bar were immaculately clean, the bartender/waitress Rachel was so friendly! We ordered the sangria which FYI is not anything like traditional sangria, but it was good, get the peach not the berry trust me! We had the sauerkraut balls as an appetizer they were good you could tell they were home made.... We got chicken and waffles as the main and let me tell you...BEST waffle I've had anywhere! Go give them a try you won't be disappointed.
