We went for lunch, nice lunch menu selection. Cute space but oddly decorated. Outdoor space looks like it would be great. It was very loud and echo-y with not a lot of people there. Got the Mac & cheese, it was fine, would try something else next time.

This is truly one of our favorite places to go for any occasion. Date night, brunch with friends, anniversaries, we've never had a bad meal. In fact, the first time we went my husband had had a very long and difficult day at work; he got the pork chop and said it made him feel human again.

We are local and recommend Fort Eighty Eight often. It's our go to when we have out of town guests. The food and atmosphere are top notch and never disappoint. For lunch and dinner, be sure you order a side of fries with their house made ketchup. Their brunch menu is nothing short of impressive. They try to use locally sourced food whenever possible. Combined with exceptional chefs, knowledgeable bartenders and staff, you have one incredible meal and experience.

I had them best experience here. We reserved the garden room for Valentine’s and it was perfect. Seating night for 6-8. Heaters and Bluetooth radio provided. Drinks were amazing and the food was an explosion of flavor. Uniquely plated and beautifully paired side dishes. The cheese dip was out of this world. For dinner, I had the steak with chimichurri sauce and it was amazing!! 100% recommend

Came here for my birthday dinner and it was a great decision.
Very cool pub with a scratch kitchen, so their menu changes. I love the idea that all their food is locally sourced and they list those vendors on their menu.
I recommend the delicious Corndogs appetizer. There are 4 (large) and served with whipped goat cheese drizzled with honey. The perfect match!
Our group got the grilled cheese, the Cubana and the Philly cheese steak. All very, very delicious.
I also got a thirst quenching orange mocktail.
We will go back.

This was our first time eating here. We ordered the spinach dip with chips as an appetizer which we both enjoyed. I ordered the burger and I took only a few bites and couldn't eat anymore, the taste of pickle was so overwhelming and the cheese on it was so runny, but the fries that came with it were tasty. My husband had the beef bolognese and thought the beef was a bit dry. We took an order of the Mac n Cheese home to our daughter who thought it was good. To be honest we probably won't be back again.

My wife and I went here for brunch on a Saturday, the place was filled up, but we got seated quickly. We decided to sit outside to enjoy the weather. The waitress took our order quickly.
My wife got a cocktail, which I forgot the name and it tasted really good. I got a Bloody Mary, and it was also really great.
For food, we ordered the wheat germ pancakes and tri tip sandwich. They were both amazing.
The pancakes were topped with a housemade butter, the maple syrup and cinnamon flavors were excellent without taking away the flavor of the pancakes themselves.
The tri tip sandwich was great, the meat was flavorful, tender and full of flavor. It came with fries and a housemade sauce.
Overall, we had an amazing experience here. I also would like to mention that this restaurant sources everything locally (from Upper Sandusky area or other farmers in Ohio), which is amazing. Besides that, they make everything in house, so everything is fresh and unique.
I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.
