Winchesters Restaurant & Saloon

We are traveling through Ohio on the turnpike and found this restaurant on Unilocal.It’s about a ¼ mile south of the turnpike exit. The food and service were good. We ordered the salmon and fried chicken. The waitress was friendly and took the time to chat with our kids. We have leftover fried chicken in the car and I don’t think it will ever make it into a refrigerator. It smells so good I will probably snack on it at the next stop. We would definitely stop here the next time we drive through Ohio.

Not 5-​star food but a welcome alternative to all the rest stop fast food places along the toll roads from Chicago to Cleveland. Service is excellent — friendly, considerate staff. Menu offers a lot of variety. One of our friends got the daily all-​you-​can-​eat deal — if you like the entrée you get a wide selection of side dishes. Nice comfortable place with tables and booths. Glad we found this using Unilocal

We love the fall off the bone ribs, they are fabulous! Also the prime rib is so good, must try. We have been here 4 or 5 times and food is always great. Worth the drive.

We got here on a not very busy night, and waited about an hour for our food. Other people who arrived after us were served first, and there was no seeming reason for the delay. Would not recommend, especially for travelers.

If you go in the bar area you get great service in the dining area there is a problem the food is good but they do not offer breakfast which I fill hurts them.

I went here with a large group for the first time over the weekend. We were seated in a private room for parties. Their service was excellent and the servers did a great job keeping up with our large party (20+). Our drinks were always refilled quickly. We had to wait a little longer than usual for our food, but that is to be expected with such a large group.
I had their southwest chicken salad with their in-​house black bean salsa. The salad was excellent and the chicken cooked perfectly. Their salsa was very flavorful and it had a nice little kick to it. I also shared some of their plain chicken wings with the party. The chicken wings were super crunchy and well cooked, which I love! I would definitely recommend for dinner if you are in the area.

This is the lousiest restaurant food ever. Staff is is never the same or smiling! Talk about eat in’ food out of a can. Expensive too. Weak cocktails.
Go to Smith’s restaurant or drive 30 more miles and get off at 3^rd turnpike exit and take a right or left for all kinds of good restaurants.

Friendly server, good food, reasonable prices, and the best onion rings I have ever had, no like really best onion rings ever.

It’s attached to a gas station off the turnpike and looks like a saloon. There are a lot of stereotypes to concur walking into this place. But the food is very good, love the French onion soup, fried pickles and buffalo chicken salad. Word is they do breakfast now, also.

My husband and I found this place about 5 or 6 years ago when our daughter’s high school basketball team was playing in nearby Evergreen. We drove a route that took us right past it, so we stopped. We were pleasantly surprised! Since then we have gone back many times and even introduced friends and family whom now are repeat diners. Don’t get scared away because it looks like a regular old truck stop with all the semi’s around. I think it’s a great atmosphere with country western décor and staff has usually been friendly.
My husband always gets the flatiron steak and I, of course, usally get the BBQ boneless grilled chicken. Both entrees come with 2 sides, which we had baked potatoes and a good sized salad.
They also start you out with a small loaf of dark rye bread and butter of which I could eat the whole thing by myself if I didn’t have to share with the rest of the table :)

In the spirit of truck stops, this place definitely stands out as a hybrid greasy spoon and roughneck watering hole. But it works, and I can say I would go back the next time I’m in the FC (that’s Fulton County, for all you city folk).
Big Mama and Daddy took me here as one of the first dining out establishments on a trip home to see the family, and I was surprised by their menu. Not to be limited to deep fried frozen shrimp particles served with ranch dressing or deep fried mechanically-​separated chicken served with ranch dressing, Winchesters offers daily specials that require forethought and preparation. A veggie lasagna in Northwest Ohio? Are we sure the Apocalypse didn’t offer? The fish and chips were standard pub fare, but nonetheless good. The standout, however, were the spicy cheese cubes. Lightly beer battered pepper jack cheese cubes deep fried to a golden perfection and served with ranch dressing. These alone are worth a return trip.
We saw my cousin here but he just walked on by. What a douche canoe.

First off: atmosphere. It’s a truck stop. That is what you will be pulling in to… and telling everyone where you went to eat. They do a decent job inside of covering up the fact that it’s a truck stop. Lot’s of «old west» decorations. Plus some TVs that I’m pretty sure weren’t in saloons.
Beer on tap: Bud, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra and Amber Bock. Someone’s an Anheuser-​Busch fan…
The parentals got the all you can eat fish and chips special, I didn’t ask but I got the impression it was passable. I had the broiled chicken, with a Caesar salad and mashed potatoes. And it was… passable. Everything clearly came from a box/​can/​bag. But it was a decent meal for not wanting to cook, and not wanting to drive to Toledo for a meal… but it would never, ever be my first choice.

This place is pretty ok for a truck stop eat-​in. I’ve gone here a couple of times with friends and family. I’ve ordered the BBQ chicken cutlet’s which were okay, but not spectacular. I had it with an appetizer of chilli which was rather good! Better than Wendy’s chilli! I’ve ordered a ribeye steak and that was kinda meh. If you want GOOD steak, I reccommend Sullivan’s in Wauseon. Winchester’s steaks are very dry and will be too well done if you ask for medium well or rare. With the steak I had mashed potatos snd gravy which tasted great, and mac n’ cheese which I enjoyed as well.
As for the service, it’s alright. I noticed they take longer than some other restaurants to bring out the food.
I’ll try to explore more of the menue, I haven’t given up yet! I still like going to this place for a casual outting with friends since it’s not far like Toledo.
Edit: 4÷27÷13:
I really still love this restaurant. I found out that my favorite appetizer is the onion soup. It’s the only place I get onion soup from that DOESN’T burn the cheese! It’s great! Also, try the cinnamon butter biscuits. My favorite dish to get is typically a steak or most of my friends favorite, chicken chunks and fries.
