"Hey, while we're in town, the whole family is getting together for a late breakfast... at... FISHER'S." My hands were tied. I couldn't NOT go. Two words: Uh oh. As I've already chronicled my dismay at the breakfast at Fisher's, I instead tried a bbq pork sandwich, fries. Bad choice, among the many awful choices. I just can't get over the overall filthiness of this place, and that people STILL eat there. Jeez. (Our server was good, pleasant, all that. Forty-two bucks for three pretty sub-standard meals. If this place were in any other location it would have been shuttered decades ago. It is a greasy-spoon truck stop, without the trucks. Or charm. Or attention to taste, cleanliness, price or any other attribute of a good business. You've been warned.)

It's very sad that a restaurant located in the middle of The Cuyahoga Valley National Park has only one thing going for it, it's in the middle of The Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Instead of serving fresh, local food (there are organic farms throughout the valley) they serve frozen, fried, food that represents the worst of bad pub fare. I think the only thing fresh is the lettuce. I've been there several times always hoping that it will be better, but it seems to get worse. For breakfast count on frozen, deep fried home fries, eggs that are cooked "whatever" (I sent my over easy egg back because the yolk was hard) and omelets that taste like they are pre-cooked and microwaved (for $8.95). I'm not sure what's going on between the kitchen and the wait staff because service is very slow and spotty. Lastly, this place is filthy (dirty carpets, a display case that looks like it's never been cleaned and a kitchen you don't want to look in when you walk back to the dirty bathrooms) and smells like a greasy spoon. I don't think this place will ever change. They are one of only two restaurants in Peninsula (water issues prohibit opening more) so it's either them or the Winking Lizard. There is no competition so unless the health department makes them improve or people stop going, they have no incentive to clean up and improve the food. We have so many talented chefs in the area who believe in serving fresh, local food it would be nice if one of them bought this place and turned it into a showcase for all the bounty available in the valley.

I would give this place 3.5 stars. We sat outside on the patio in July, which was fairly nice. I don't think I'd want to sit inside. They had a very large menu with lots to choose from. We ordered the red pepper hummus, which was pretty good. The man got the Raider burger which he made disappear fairly quickly, so he must have liked it well enough. I ordered the California chicken sandwich, which I thought tasted good. I was excited to try the eggplant fries, since I like eggplant and didn't want French fries. They were a tad greasy for me, but I thought they tasted good with the Wasabi Cucumber sauce. The food came fast and service was good. Suggestions for improvement would be to remove the yellow placemat menus from the tables when we were eating and have to servers dress up a little bit more. Like in jeans or jean shorts with the t-shirts. They looked like they were all in workout clothes and it distracted me from my food. After getting a look from the man whom I was dictating to, he added my commentary "It's my review, and that's how I feel." Yep. The bill seemed a little high for sandwiches at lunchtime, but it was very convenient with a visit to scenic Peninsula and a ride on the scenic railroad. Overall, I would go back and try it again one more time. And yes our server thanked us for coming (regarding another yelper's comment.)

FILTHY from the server to my menu!! As a local resident who often bikes in the park and stops by for breakfast, I had a friend in town and said, "let's go to Fishers!" I was excited to see they were serving a clam bake - YUM! Big mistake....it started with our horrible server Tana, who claimed to be the manager, who had worked 12 hours. Her apron was completetly filthy, then I saw her in the ktichen pushing back her hair and redoing her braid...I am doubtful she washed her hands! When we sat down, we knew exactly what we wanted, ordered drinks and food. My salad and insipid clam chowder came quickly (clam chowder is supposed to have cream in it!), but we waited over an hour for ribs and clams. Tana said, she had to have them redo the clams they were cold. Well, they must have taken my once cooked clams and twice cooked them. Next, she never delivered my corn or baked potato. My corn tasted like it had been stewing for days. NEXT TIME GO TO THE WINKING LIZARD, AT LEAST THEY HAVE STANDARDS OF SERVICE AND CLEANLINESS!!!
(1)Sara O.
Really loved the food. The staff is either douchey or haggard but the food is yummy. Try the homemade cream soda!!!

After a 12 mile bike ride on the towpath, I was initially thinking of the "Winking Lizard", but my biking partner suggested Fishers Cafe instead. I was a little hesitant, as my dinner there a month earlier had a chalkboard that boasted "Burgers grilled outside", but what I actually received was a partially pre-cooked burger that was finished on an outside grill. Since we both wanted a dinner salad, she encouraged me to give it a try, and to stay away from the burgers! I'm glad she did. The fact that they have their own parking lot, with ample space, and the fact that they have a very nice outdoor seating area, sealed the deal! The food was a delight! I had the Caesar Salad with shrimp and it was delicious: perfectly grilled shrimp, (actually looked like they had been cooked on skewers outside) and good greens and dressing. My friend had the Caesar with Salmon and pronounced it very good as well. Service was warm and attentive and there was no rush to order or leave the table. I will plan on dining here after my next run or bike trip in Penninsula.
(3)Sarah M.
My husband and I were completely shocked! This was our first visit to Fishers and most certainly will not be our last! We ordered the Applewood bacon burger and Cod dinner. The burger was delicious and cooked perfectly. It was apparent that the meat was NOT frozen. The fish was crunchy on the outside and flakey on the inside. French fries were crunchy, just the way we like them. I cannot wait to come back and try other menu items.
(5)Cheryl C.
Great burgers, eggplant fries and ribs. Friendly service in a retro setting in the middle of a national park. Yeungling beer on tap! Fun place.
(3)Owen J.
If you haven't been here in a while, fisher's had really improved. Great pub food and specials. Try the eggplant fries.
(4)Justin H.
A nice place to catch a meal. The service is a little slow. But a sunny day in Peninsula, why are you in a hurry? Their spicy chicken wings are pretty good. Not too spicy, just good hot flavor. They have several beers on tap, and an ok selection of bottles. I have not had breakfast there. I did have the apple pie with ice cream, and it was above average. Bottom line it is not as good as the Winking Lizard across the street, but it will do when the Lizard is busy.
(3)Jenny S.
Does anyone know if the mussels are still good? I heard they serve 'em up right but wasn't sure if that was a dated rumor. Other than that, it's nice and quiet to watch a game on weekend afternoon.
(4)Jen M.
Decent price and service but for being one of only two restaurants in Peninsula you think they would focus on better food and help make it more of a weekend destination. Nothing out of the ordinary from every other Cleveland-area sports bar or grille, in fact the quality may be a bit lower. They have tried to add some unique items, but unfortunately the execution was poor or the menu listing was misleading. Also, everything is served dry and if you request any sort of sauce you get a small amount and they add it to your bill. Super tacky. Tried it twice and won't go back.

We stopped at Fisher's as we had not dined there for some time and we were happy to see some improvements- new tables, chairs and umbrellas outside plus a new roof above the outside bar with ceiling fans- Very Nice! The specials that were available were enticing- hard to decide which to get! Food was great, hot, seasoned well and served in normal time frame. We had the ribs- which were tender and very good (1/2 rack for $8.99 special) We also had the Mahi Mahi with mango salsa- again tender and moist, perfectly cooked! Our server was very personable and we had a really nice time. Will visit again!

The parking lot was full of cars, the bike racks were full of bikes. After pedaling twelve miles from downtown Akron, we were ready for a leisurely late lunch. It's the last Saturday of summer, sunny but cool. Apparently everyone wants to sit on the patio because we got seated quickly inside. Out of eleven tables, five were empty. After a long wait to get a visit from the waitress we got some waters and then another 20 minute or so wait we ordered our sandwiches. A Greek wrap for my wife and a black bean burger with added grilled mushrooms and eggplant fries for me. The food came in about 20 more minutes-a Greek wrap and a bacon burger!!! Delivered by another server, not our waiter. 15 or 20 more minutes and the black bean burger finally arrived as ordered. It was very good. The eggplant fries were ok. They were very mushy, like eggplant, with a tempura like coating. My wife said the Greek wrap was good. The waiter apologized profusely and often, she had heard my order correctly but thinks she entered it wrong in the computer-black bean burger is right next to bacon burger on the touch screen. Too many "B"s all together, I guess. The manager removed the cost of the black bean burger from our check without any request from us. Overall the food was tasty, the wait staff very harried even though half the tables were unoccupied, and very long intervals to receive any attention. Other tables that were seated around the same time as us also had very long waits for service.

I am not going to address the food, I am upset with myself that I even ate it. The issue is how dirty this place is. My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time after a hike on the trails. We were hungry so I suppose that is why we ate the food. We asked to sit on the patio, the host walked us by shelves of dirty, stinky, fly infested dishes. This was outside on the patio and in the hot sun. On the shelf were condiments including mayonnaise!!! We were seated close to the bar and the stench of garbage and old stale beer on the cement floor was overwhelming. The floor looks like it hasn't been cleaned and hosed off all Summer. The manager (owner?) was trying to get the Tv's behind the bar to work and yelling at the workers. I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. Visit from the health inspectors way over due

Came in after work looking for nice patio to have a drink or two, apps and casual dinner. They were out of beers we wanted on draft and only specials on menu weren't starting until the following week. Ordered the chips and spicy queso app but it came out with just shredded cheese. Pico de gallo was good but chips were super super greasy like they had been pre-fried, and then fried again. Tried the fish taco app as well which was ok although there was nothing more to them than mango salsa and some fish. Would have been much better in a soft taco than a hard half stale shell. Bacon blue burger was again just ok however was up charged $2 for a side salad the size of 8 bites without being told by the server. Service was just ok. Breakfast menu looked promising, but overall would not return.
(2)Jonathan O.
On a Saturday night all of the staff is at the end of the bar talking ignoring the few thirsty customers that they have.... This place is a story of what happens when the owners stop caring. For years this place had great burgers and food. Now all of the staff is standing around at the end of the bar having a conversation about needing to be on bar rescue. On a Saturday night no less! That comment is followed by them saying that if that happened they would all be fired for crappy service and laughing. I could not agree more with their assessment. If this place is open two weeks from now I would be surprised. The ownership should be embarrassed.
(1)Hunter B.
Good food with a long wait and disorganized seating. We came here for lunch (great wings and friendly waitresses, however we were forced to wait outside for 15 minutes. I wouldn't have minded waited inside and been offered beverages and that way have been in the ac. In this temperature it was hellish sitting outside for a long period of time. However, once inside, we were provided excellent customer service. If the restaurant allowed waiting inside, it would get 5 stars. However, knowing my experience, it gets a three.
(3)Matt S.
Nice place in Peninsula across from The Winking Lizard. They have daily specials, I got the Gyro lunch (Wednesday). We ate on the patio area and it was very nice. I think they need to get a new sign, as it is a bit dated, but overall a nice (small) change of scenery from The Winking Lizard (but I still like the Lizard a bit better).
(4)Molly L.
I went here with my family on a Monday night. While the patio was pretty nice the inside just looked kinda dingy. We got there and the server was just so blah. She never smiled, she only asked us what we wanted to drink and what we wanted to eat. Literally. She never told us the specials, never suggested anything. We waited alot. After she took our drink order, she had someone drop or drinks off and then that was it. No one told us that she would be right back to take our order, that our server was a little busy, she would be right with us, nothing. If she was busy, I would totally understand and she may have been, but no one told us anything, no one smiled, she never once hustled, or made it look like she was busy. After she took our order, we waited again for our food. The food was pretty good. But it was just a completely lack luster experience with both the service and the interior inside, I probably would never go again.
(2)Laura R.
We have only eaten there at breakfast and love it! Their biscuits are awesome! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can take quite a while to get your food, and no one ever says goodbye or thank you when we leave.
(4)Nico t.
Worst ever. Food was mediocre, and my friend got food poisoning.
(1)Robin B.
Enjoyed our lunch here very much after visiting Cuyahoga national park. We had a lovely and very attentive server Jessica T. We tried a new appetizer, homemade potato chips dusted with dry ranch rub and served with a Texas 'boom boom' sauce! Fabulous and addicting! California sandwich with chicken, avocado, and cilantro aioli was really good! Hubby got chicken portobello and pepper sandwich on a kaiser bun with really fun and tasty eggplant fries with a cucumber and wasabi sauce! The service really was excellent, but the menu is really too big with way too many selections! It is a local family owned business versus a chain, which we liked. Located very central in the park and we liked the choice of eating outside or in!
(4)Frank S.
My wife and I ate dinner here on a Thursday evening. They have a nice selection of beers. We told our waitress we were in a bit of a hurry and she stayed on top of our needs. The food was very good. French fries were crispy on the outside. I tried the eggplant fries, which I'd never seen before, and they were delicious.
(5)Matt W.
Great little lunch spot. The spinach salad with home made raspberry vinaigrette is awesome!!
(4)David B.
Shortstaffed...If I had a nickel... Food came out over 45 munutes later and made me late to get back for scheduled webinar.... I HATE being late for things and this got under my skin a bit... PLUS... Food cold... Dang it.... I didn't ding the waitress because we should have stipulated a "please expedite"...Next time we go it better be better.... But the place is very nice!! Plan on giving them one more chance.... Stay tuned...
(2)Mark R.
There's a lot to look over on the menu here. There are daily lunch and dinner specials. They are $5.99 & $6.99. Except for prime Rib on Saturday 10oz got $12.95. There's also a special board, well it's actually a clip board. I went with mom, who was all in a their salads. her choice was a strawberry mandarin salad. It has fruit mixed in (like it should) but nothing that jumps out at you. The dressing was accented by demi glaze on outside of bowl. I opted for the French dip sandwich and tried the "deluxe" chili. when you add sour cream and cheese to chili it became deluxe. when you add so much sour cream and cheese you lose the chili flavor it's not a good thing. I wouldn't do it again. but the French dip was very good. The meat was cut in small chunks and the au jus had rosemary added to it. It was a nice mix. beware there is a lot of salt in au jus, so dip carefully. All said decent place. I did get recommendations from server. Server was good. Middle of week was a small crowd.
(3)Lois F.
Went to this café on memorial day. Although the restaurant was far from full, we waited more than 45 minutes for our food. Service is definitely slow and the attentiveness of the waitress could be improved. The Pub burger was juicy with good flavor and the fish sandwich was also quite good. One person in our party ordered wings and they were very overcooked and the sauces did not arrive with them when they were delivered. Several individuals ordered french fries and they were only medium warm when they were delivered also.
(2)Bobby Y.
This place was terrible. Have always seen the parking lot filled, and there was a wait when we went there, so we expected with all the interest that it would be good. There was a short wait, but a table opened up quickly. Once seated it took over ten minutes before our server ever first introduced herself. We ordered drinks and appetizers, then it took another 15-minutes after that before we ever got an order in. Come on, that's ridiculous. We then learn that the appetizer order was never entered. God, I wish it wasn't, because when the baked pretzel bits arrived, we quickly realized these were microwaved-frozen pretzel bits. That looked exactly like the Soft Baked brand from Sam's club. They were served extremely hot, and it was clear they were microwaved as some were still stuck together. About 15-20 minutes after that the main entrees finally arrived, and they weren't much better. As my lovely wife described, "it looks like your sandwich was run over," and it did. The bun was either super flimsy, or someone in the heart of the house thought it would be funny to smash it with their AF1s. At one point I had to ask for a refill. The server grabbed my cup from the table to refill it, leaving me parched. That's bush league. Grab a fresh glass and bring it to the table, then swap out the empty one. Their chicken was surprisingly fresh tasting, and perfectly cooked, but their fries were a major disappointment. They were clearly frozen, and they had an unnatural starchy coating that were devoid of flavor. Seriously, it's cheaper and more effective for a restaurant to simply use fresh potatoes for their fries...I can't believe any restaurant would let anything other than fresh fries out of their kitchen. I won't in my own home kitchen, so why would they? As we walked out my wife said perhaps they appear busy because they get so many people that can't get a table across the street at the Winking Lizard. God, I hope that's not true. That's so sad that the best a restaurant can do is pick up the scraps from the Lizard.
(1)Diane T.
Wow, Wow, Wow! Had the Dole Pineapple Soft Serve. It's amazing!! I remember it from Disney World. It's like eating a pineapple right off the tree! Also good that it's lactose free & vegan. Today, they had Mango.

Yesterday 7/03/2015 was the worst experience I've had at this place. Yes my daughter and I expected it to be crowded - first nice day in a long time here in Ohio - the beginning of a holiday weekend, etc. When we first got there we were told up to 30 minute wait - so we thought not bad. After about 20 minutes I started noticing tables opening up, but people not being seated. Went inside to inquire - I was told they ran out of silverware and the owner said no seating until they had time to wash the silverware, etc.! Are you kidding me! I asked, "Can't we get seated and order drinks at least?" I was told, "No, the owner wants nobody to be seated!" I have never heard of anything so absurd! Many people were leaving and going across the street to the Winking Lizard - they were all pretty disgusted! But we hung in there - after about a total wait time of one hour - we were seated! After ordering our drinks - my daughter said her drink came in a dirty glass! The waitress was very apologetic and switched it out for her. We've always enjoyed Fisher's but never have experienced a time like this especially at the beginning of summer. If this is an indication of the road they will be traveling down - I believe they will certainly drive away business!
(1)Heather B.
Good menu. Kids had burgers and loved them. My son had the A1 burger and said it was one of the best he ever had. My daughter had the applewood bacon and liked it a lot. The onion rings were amazing. My sister had the wings with their signature Firecracker sauce and said they were really good. The California chicken club was good, but the chicken was a little dry. I would come again for the location definitely.
(3)Amy L.
Service wasn't great. We sat down and had to request menus after a few minutes of waiting because the waitress didn't come by. They weren't attentive and once again we had to request the bill at the end of the meal. This was during a time when the place wasn't too busy, either. The chili was pretty standard, not bad, and the eggplant fries were oily but rather tasty. The apple dumpling was pretty awful -- undercooked and doughy. Overall pretty mediocre. Wouldn't come back.
(2)Colleen H.
Went here after hiking and I thought it was great! We sat on the patio which has beautiful flowers. They have a bar and we had a cocktail after hiking. I orders the eggplant fries, so good. Then my friend for the fish tacos and loved them. I got the crab salad wrap and it was yummy. There are not many places but I would think this is worth the stop.
(5)Tom Z.
Was there this sunday and ate dinner. My food tasted plain nothing great you can tell its all frozen and processed. Great service i had a young lady named crystal she waited on me whenever i needed her they need more servers like her. I would recommend her. This place would be amazing if they had good cooked food from the heart and not coming in frozen. Need real cook.
(2)Jayme K.
We came here before a concernt at Blossom and it was PACKED! You had a mix of concert goers, bikers, and locals. The food is decent as you can choose from a wide variety- from fresh fish (specials), to mommas cooking, and ofcourse your typical bar food (wings and burgers). My only complaint was that we waited forever to get our food and the waitress was horrible! We ordered chips and guac as an appetizer and she brought with our meal! Other than that definitely a place to stop if you are in the area. Highly recommend ordering the Pie!
(3)Arun M.
Fisher's is a nice place to hangout for a while when visiting this small little town on outskirts of Cleveland and Akron alike. I think this place has a certain charm and that is why I am a fan. The food is average american food with some influences from local middle eastern population. Nothing special if you are looking for specialty food. Ambiance is nice. Outside sitting is there for summer. Train station and other tourist destinations are there too. So if you are looking for a nice day trip this can be a perfect location for a stop and lunch or dinner.
(4)Cleveland Consumer D.
Not so hot! I ordered a veggie wrap and it fell apart on my second bite and was more wrap than vegetables! My friend had fish tacos with the same issue. I was totally irked when we got the bill as it was pretty expensive for what we got on our plate. The place needs a good scrubbing too and that should have been my first clue.
(1)Liza S.
Ok, servers may be a little uneducated, but the food here is A+ especially for the price. Salmon is amazing, tried strawberry spinach salad- fabulous. Great egg plant fries. Everyone that's tried their food in my party loved it. Great value! Fair atmosphere, servers.
(4)Joel S.
Nice little spot for Breakfast. I have only ever been there for breakfast. They have a nice selection of items on the menu. Eggs, omelets, pancakes, etc. I had the sausage gravy and biscuits. Nice sized bowl of gravy and two decent sized biscuits, and diced potatoes. I've always enjoyed their food. Also tried my son's pancakes which were awesome. Their pancakes have a crispness and a crunch that I love. We were there on a Saturday morning. It was quite busy, and they seemed under staffed. Food took a while to come out. Overall, great food but it may take a while.
(3)Steve S.
Terrible waitress. Slow. Attitude problem. Winking lizard was packed so we have to go here. Now I know why this place is empty and winking lizard is packed. And why does the owner have seven girls working standing around talking when the place is empty. Sheesh.
(1)Meri R.
Fisher's is about the location and childhood nostalgia for me, but I don't think the food is half as bad as the big whiny babies leaving 2-star reviews. The patio is a nice place to sit with sun or shade and I personally enjoy the classic rock that plays. The menu is fine. This isn't the Ritz, people! The salads are a little light on toppings, yet there are a lot of variations and add-ons available. The fries are a tasty indulgence and they have a few decent veggie menu items at a comfortable price point. The peppy servers are great and accomodating, and people watching at a leisurely pace is obviously fun in any environment. This is especially true on the main drag of a sweet town in the stunning national park. If you don't like the digs, go back to your little 'burb and stop telling other people what to do! Fisher's has been open a long time- I think they know how to operate!
(4)Patricia G.
This restaurant is the pits. The food was served cold. The order was incorrect and the waitress was nasty about changing it. My daughter order a fish sandwich, the fish was mushy, it let an oil slick in her mouth. I ordered a Blt, the bread was barely toasted, they did not bother to put mayo on the sandwich. We received no refills on our drinks. It took 20 minutes to hunt down the waitress and get the check. For $47 I expect the food to be palatable. Will never go back. The kitchen was filthy. I am praying we don't get food poisoning.
(1)Kelly W.
A good local place - should definitely be explored by more people! After being in Peninsula many times, I've finally tried Fisher's. It's really your only option other than the Winking Lizard....and I've had enough of that place. Anyway there are three things you should know. 1) There are a lot of food options, so everyone should be able to find something, 2) their french fries are AWESOME, 3) biggest downside of this place is that it smells like an grease - so don't wear anything nice because you will smell like grease when you walk out.
(3)Richard B.
So I admit. I'm crazy. I keep repeating the same thing, (dining here), expecting a different result, (a good dining experience/meal). But they do have a bitchin' patio, and they are nestled in the middle of the CVNR! Stopped here today for lunch. Having spent several years in Southern California, I have a taste for fish tacos, and so does the lady. Noting that they were grilled made the decision a no-brainer for us both. Our server was a youngun' inexperience pervaded the day. I had to explain to her the difference between brewed iced tea and fountain iced tea, and I still got what I think was an incorrect answer, (that they served fountain tea.) But who am i to challenge the waitstaff? Diet Cokes around, and water for me in anticipation of sketchy service. The latter was a good call! The tacos took forever to arrive, and our glasses were never filled during the wait. When the tacos were quickly dumped off, she stared at our empty glasses and asked if there was anything else we wanted, and of course we asked for refills, and as she shot away with our glasses, I tried to shout after her that two sets of service would be great, but no ears heard our plea. And after waiting forever again for the refills and a shot at a second request for napkins and silverware, the lady skipped up to the bar area and secured our necessaries. Oh great! Now I have to tip her as well!!! The tacos. Interesting. It's possible that there was fish in them. If so it was fish scraps. Literally. The stuff that sticks to the bone when the fish is filleted either by mechanical separators at a factory somewhere, or in the kitchen. You know, the stuff that used to go in cat food! Never during the dining experience was either of us certain we had just bit into a piece of fish flesh. There was a flour tortilla, some spinach and a very modest bit of filling in each of the three tacos we were each served. There was seasoning, and veggies most notably onions. And what might have been little pencil eraser sized battered and dipped bits of fish or ???? Certainly not even close to the size of the fish bites McDonalds sold this Lenten season. And if they were fish, there was far less fish in each than there is beef in a Taco Bell taco. And people are getting shot by disgruntled patrons there seeking meat in the shell! Just pick up a paper! I get being cheap with fish...when it's mahi mahi or roughy or ono or redfish or swordfish, fresh tuna, even salmon but cod?? The stuff I buy in filet form from Sam's Club for 4 bucks a pound? AKA the price of ground chuck? Mr Fisher, you're scrimping where you oughtn't! For ten bucks, there ought to be about as much fish as the typical restaurant would put in their fried fish dinners, but not here! I'm starting to think this place is just a beverage place for us on a hot summer's day. Buckets of crap light beer were $14 for 4. Almost exactly the cost per beer as the cost per taco! Next time that's what I'm zeroing in on!! I'm over the whole food thing here!

Definitely under rated on this site. Good atmosphere, service and food at a terrific price.

We had their Wednesday 14.99 1.25 lb lobster special. it was very good and well worth the money. they have lots of interesting craft beers on tap.

Our party of 4 arrived at 5pm on Memorial Day for an early dinner. This place was already buzzing with patrons in the outdoor patio and a few families inside. We were seated in a booth near the entrance in one section of the dining room with a lunch bar. Unfortunately, this area was not well cooled and I was sweating within a few minutes of entering. After checking out the "pub" section of the restaurant I asked to be moved to that area as it was cooler and I could feel the air conditioning. I did notice that there were a lot of employees in uniforms working while we were there but unfortunately the service was a tad bit slower than I would have liked. I ordered their Prime Rib Special ($16.99) which came with a potato and a salad which I substituted for eggplant fries (add $1.59) and corn on the cob. Both sides were very good. The beef itself was tender but not served with any jus and was a little dry. They had an Asian Salmon fish meal on the menu but was told they had sold out because of the holiday weekend. My dining partners ordered a tuna sub, fried cod sandwich and crispy chicken salad. None of them had any complaints about their food. Our server was friendly and kept checking in on us to top off the coffee and water glasses. The restaurant could have been cleaner but it was horribly dirty. Overall, our dining experience was pleasant but did not "wow" me.

My husband and I stopped for lunch while biking on towpath. There is a very nice patio outside with a bar inside and out. The chicken curry wrap was excellent. But, we had no utensils, had to ask for a napkin, and there was no ice in the ice tea. The saddest part was that there were 5 TVs and no one knew how to change the channel of one of them to the World Cup soccer match. Instead we had to watch cheerleading championships. Maybe no one in Ohio is a soccer fan! So if you are looking for a sports bar, this isn't it, but the food is good.

After riding the Towpath this morning, my girlfriends and I enjoyed a filling lunch at Fisher's. It was my first time here, but my friends raved about their food from past visits. Aleksa was our server. She had a sweet personality and did her job well. I was just sad that it took so long for the food to arrive to our table, and equally as sad that the eggplant fries tasted mostly like fried batter. The regular fries my friends ordered were nice, as were the wraps we each got for our meals, but overall the food was just ok. Maybe I'll bring hubby back for one of their summer patio concerts and beer menu.. I heard the wings are good.

Decent. The service is very friendly in this place. I was immediately turned on by the small-town appeal. Plus, it's a diner! It's hard to find a real diner (like with a counter and pie displays and everything), let alone a good one. I really wish we had made it in time for breakfast, because the menu looked great. Lunch was okay, but disappointing in general. We expected the eggplant fries to be a hit, but they were soggy, mostly batter, and had a funky taste. The bistro sauce looked like McDonald's special sauce...which is actually a compliment coming from me. Too bad it didn't taste like it! Nor did it taste good. I had a salad with a bunch of healthful ingredients, yet somehow it didn't really taste all that refreshing. The grilled chicken, while flavorful, seemed awfully sweet--as if seasoned with cinnamon sugar. The candied walnuts, which SHOULD have been sweet, tasted burnt and strange. The fruit and greens were nice, but the edges of the plate were drizzled in some kind of super-sweet raspberry sauce--reminiscent of IHOP pancake syrup. Again, oddly, a compliment, but somewhat out of place here. Hubby had a breaded chicken sandwich with big onion rings and more of the not-so-special sauce. A big fried mess. Hope to return for breakfast!

Best fries ever! Service is sometimes slow, but the excellent food and prices makes up for that fault. My friends and I love to go to Fisher's for a fun night out.

Terrible. The coffee is the weakest most flavorless dishwater you could imagine. The breakfast eggs I had we're cold, salty, and dry. And the wrap I had on my last and final visit was soggy with some sort of canned sauce. I wanted to like Fishers. I live nearby and honestly wanted to have a decent restaurant within walking distance of my house, but it isn't Fishers. Sadly, I can only hope that they will one day go out of business or sell to someone who actually cares about making decent food. Don't waste your money here.

Delicious onion rings and bistro sauce! Skip the chicken sandwiches. They are more pan fried than grilled--disappointing. The wraps are very good, especially the asian wrap. Fun outdoor patio in the summer. They seem to have a killer breakfast menu so we'll have to go back and give that a try. We usually stop at Fisher's after a bike ride along the Towpath, and there are bike racks in the parking lot.

It looks like a cool place to eat in the area, but the food is just disgusting! I had the burger and it was grayish in color and the hash and corn beef was out of can with little chunks of corn beef! I will never go here again!
