Travel and Dine Ohio

Village Restaurant 435 North Warpole Street, Upper Sandusky, Ohio

One of the roads we like to travel on the backroads of Ohio is the Lincoln Highway. Formerly known to Ohioans as Route 30, to those of us old enough to remember, it is now the Lincoln Scenic Byway. Upper Sandusky is one of the small cities along this route. Upper Sandusky is in Wyandot Country and there is much to see and do there. For history buffs, like me and my husband , there is the Indian Mill, the Parker Covered Bridge, the Colonel Crawford monument, and the Wyandot Mission Church. There are also several antique shops and gift shops as well as other dining and shopping

Since we often go in search of restaurants that are local and not part of a chain, we found a quaint local eatery called the Village Restaurant. Located at 435 North Warpole Street in Upper Sandusky. Everything they serve is home cooked. . They have a diverse menu of salads, sandwiches, pasta, burgers, and their specialty items, such as broasted chicken, sugar cured ham, broasted pork chops, New York strip steak and a beef Manhattan. The also have seafood, and a lighter fare menu. Deserts include homemade pies, shakes and malts.
My husband had the Manhattan and said it is one of the best he has ever had. I had their spinach salad with a warm bacon I loved it. In fact, I had it again the second time we went to restaurant. I’m sure we will be visiting here again.

My husband Mike and I live in Findlay, Ohio which is in Hancock County, but we love to travel around Ohio just driving, but we also like to find new and different places to eat while we travel. We started out just telling the kids, “You’ve got to try this place we just are.” But I thought I could tell others about the interesting and fun places we’ve stopped at. One day I was at work and a friend of mine told me about a restaurant in a small village in Wood County, just to the north of us. She told me they had wonderful food and a small country store. She said she often takes visiting family and friends there. So, of course we had to try it. She was definitely right. Their location is 117 E. Main Street, Wayne, Ohio.

There are not many businesses in Wayne other than this restaurant and shop but it is worth the trip. The country store has paintings, candles, lighting, and a lot of country decor. The restaurant seats more people than you would think. There are two dining rooms, the second one has large tables to accommodate larger groups. Would be a great place to take a large family or friends group or even an office gathering.

There menu is quite extensive for a small restaurant including sandwiches, soups, wraps dinners, salads and terrific homemade pies. I had the chicken fajita wrap and Mike had a club sandwich. Both were delicious. Try this restaurant it is worth the trip through Ohio farmland.

Hope you try this little restaurant and shop. I know we did. We’ve been back several times.
