Once again, roadtrip eastbound through Ohio, relying on Unilocal to feed us. Not disappointed! Ziggy’s is a great find! The food is delicious and generously portioned, the wait staff is friendly and helpful — Rebecca was awesome — and it’s clean and welcoming. I cannot say enough about how good the food was, especially the homemade chips and dip(they didn’t even come with my meal, but I stole them from my son’s plate once I tried one!) I enjoyed the pulled pork quesadillas with just enough spicy kick, and such a large portion that I’ll be having them again later. My oldest son ordered the«hog and heifer» sandwich that was almost as big as his head! But he found room to enjoy it all. Rebecca assured me that the owner/chef makes everything in house; they have a smoker upstairs to make their pulled pork, brisket and ribs. You can definitely taste the quality in their food, and the love that goes into it. Great place to pull you off of I-80 for a good meal. Adding to my bookmarks for our next roadtrip :)

What can I say, Ziggy’s is the place to be! They have awesome food and a great selection of beers. Every time I go there it is packed. The perfect place to watch a game since they have so many flat screens through out. I just had dinner there last night and you would have thought it was a Friday night but it was Wednesday! Every seat in the house was full. On Wednesday’s they offer a $ 5 burger special. I loved the buffalo chicken sandwich! It was so SO good! The opening of Brew Kettle down the street has definitely not affected business for Ziggy’s. The service is really great and our waitress was checking on us frequently. One of my favorite bars in Amherst to hang out at. Obama sure did put them on the map!

Stopped in with my wife. Just didn’t want to commit to a big sit down meal, but couldn’t stomach fast food. Stopped here on a whim and man are we glad we did. The freshest Mediterranean food we have found. Easy to order the staff was very friendly. We had soup, hummus, and a, sandwich. It was so good I’m not even going to try and explain. I guarantee we go here once a week. Very reasonable as well.

Good food. Good service. Little breezy by the door. Good choice of beers, but need a list. Been here with a big and small group. Overall, very satisfied.

Great food, service, atmosphere, and lots of TV’s.variety of seating options as well. I do recommend a printed beer list for better turnover on kegs as they have a good selection of beers on tap, but you wouldn’t know unless sitting by them. Also using the doors by the stairs for entry would cut down on the arctic blast to the patrons in the main bar area. This is second time here. We are not from this area but find ourselves here often for kids athletic events. All in all good reasonably priced food and friendly service. This will be our before/after game place.

A little above average bar food. Place is nearly always packed and typically difficult to get good service at the bar. Maybe one more bartender would help this problem out. I have been here more than once and will go back as it is close to home.

Lots of tvs and nice décor. However, if you aren’t a local and a regular they treat you like crap. Bar manager is very rude to staff and customers. You can often hear the servers talking crap about there customers, as I am experiencing first hand while writing this. Food comes out hot but if you ask for it a special way it comes out wrong most of the time. Regardless food is good and good portions. Don’t sit by the door if it is hot or cold out because there is no breezeway and you will freeze/sweat to death. Beer came out fine and drinks are made well. If the staff was nicer the experience would be much better but with not much choice of late night food in Amherst you’re forced to settle.

We have been regulars at this restaurant until recently. After the past three awful services we will only return when friends force us! The food is great but the service had gone down hill recently! Sad actually

Came for lunch and it was fantastic! The blt fold over is to die for! A small had 8 slices and was enough for two people and leftovers. My daughter was given crayons and a kid menu and was easily entertained coloring away while we waited on our meal. I couldn’t believe how busy they were for lunch! And our table was cleared, menus put out drinks immediately. Refills were prompt and service was great!

My family and I stopped there today, great little place. Good service and lots of choices. Beer batter fries were a little unique but good. Lots of tvs, would be a great place to watch a game.

Really disappointed in Ziggy’s. I went here with my Dad because he really wanted ribs. And from what I can tell those ribs were the best part of the meal, and they are the only thing that keeps me from rating this place one star. The lady who was our waitress was terrible. Fake smile, annoyed facial gestures at any request(like asking for more tartar sauce), and even though all our glasses were empty she stood and flirted with another waiter in the corner of the room for five or so minutes. Hair twirls, raised leg and all. I ordered the lake Erie perch and it was under-cooked in the center. Since it was so large though I ate around that, but it was so bland I needed way more tartar sauce that I would normally use. Additionally, by the time the dish got to me the french fries were already starting to go cold and floppy – yum. Frankly if my Dad hadn’t been having such a dang good time I would have sent everything back and probably just left. But I don’t ruin other people’s dining experiences when I can help it. If he had hated it too we definitely would have walked out. Awful.

Visiting from out of town. This is a small town and is limited on a selection of nice places to eat. The food was really good. The server did make some great recommendations on food and needs to try. The service of food to the table and water refills was a little slow. The atmosphere and décor is fun and nice. Great place to watch the big game with all the tv’s. The restaurant, bar, and restrooms were very clean. I would recommend this establishment and will be on my list to come back to when back in the area.

I went on a Wednesday and I’m glad I did! $ 5 Burgers and $ 5 Butterfly Shrimp! I wish my boyfriend and I would have stuck with both of those items. My boyfriend ordered a chicken sandwich that tasted like someone comes a piece if rubber and tried to mask it by melting cheese over it and adding bacon. The waitress was wonderful and apologized and brought out a new meal without attitude. That was the major downfall of the evening. My one complaint is that they have a huge draft selection with no printed lists. The waitress looked a bit annoyed that I couldn’t make a decision because I didn’t know all the options. The latter side of things… The shrimp was great. The batter was perfect, not oily and not too much breading. The burger was just as great. Perfectly cooked at medium(which I ordered) and for some restaurants this is hard to achieve. The $ 5 burger is a burger that includes your choice of cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. I also added a side of chip dip to go with my cups which embedded up being the perfect complement. I will give this place a second chance.

Very nice bar with great bar food. Lots of tv’s in this place if you’re going to watch the game. The staff was friendly and welcoming and kept our glasses full. The menu was very extensive with many options. It made it a little difficult to decide what to order. I decided to go with the Stuffed Banana Peppers as an appetizer and the Italian Stallion Grinder as my sandwich with tater tots. The tots were perfect with a little crunch and just enough flavor without being too salty. The Italian stallion grinder was very good as well. When it comes to the Hot Stuffed Banana Peppers, they were amazing!!! I absolutely hate when I go out and order something on a menu and they claim it’s spicy and they just don’t deliver. These DELIVER! Full of flavors, spicy and a perfect amount of cheese and sausage. The peppers themselves were cooked perfectly too. Loved these peppers. In fact they are the best stuffed hot peppers I’ve ever had to date. You have to try them. I also tried the chips and dip that somebody else ordered and they were also very good. That dip is delicious! I will go back and I recommend it to anybody who is just looking to have a few drinks and great bar food to choose from.

An Amherst favorite with overpriced, decent bar food. Nothing to write home about. Friday and Saturday nights the place fills up with rowdy youth, wanna be gang bangers. This bar is over priced, overhyped. and grossly overrated.

This is not just bar, it’s a great place to have dinner, catch up with friends and watch the«big game». Just when you thought you were done here… BAM… they serve an awesome breakfast too! I know, you would think breakfast from a bar would be crappy, but it is D-LICIOUS!!! The only downside in my opinion is they have a lot of those high tables. I’m not really sure what the deal is with so many places moving to this style; I don’t find them at all comfortable and they make my leg fall asleep.(They do have regular tables, but when when their busy, it’s hard to get one) They offer take out too!

A local favorite, they have great food and good weekly deals if you know when and what they are. The staff are pretty on point, and they check in on us frequently even when they’re busy.(I almost never have an empty drink). They have done a lot of work on the place over the years, and it looks great for it. Can get pretty noisy if you decide to go at night, if you prefer a(less noisy) or more family friendly setting, go during their lunch hours.

This place hits what it’s aiming for. Has a great selection of typical Bar food along with a few items you wouldn’t expect. You’ll be able to find something you like on this menu. Great food — I went with boneless wings covered in Ziggy sauce — the sauce was great. Good service — friendly, attentive, but not over the top. Great atmosphere — plenty of TVs, clean.

Being a big fan of pierogi I was in love with the homemade ones that came from the kitchen. Go at least once a month to Hamtramck for good Polish Food and these were actually better. We also tried a few different sauces for the wings and across the board they were really good(garlic Parmesan being the least favorite, but still good). Only downside was they were out BBQ sauce, teriyaki and chocolate ice cream(for the shakes). Since we went late on a Sunday, maybe just bad timing? Waitress was very personable and overall great experience.
