Red Mule Inn - Eaton, OH — Restaurant in Eaton

My girlfriend and I tried out this place on a whim. Monday evening and a lot of small bars are closed. We had nothing going on, so we decided to make the 30 minute drive after discovering the Red Mule on Google. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience! It's a quaint little place with great atmosphere and good music playing. The bartender, who was running the front all by herself, was very attentive and pleasant. She never kept us waiting for anything. And the food was AMAZING! I highly recommend the grilled chicken, bacon, and Monterey Jack. My girlfriend loved her grilled cheesburger (fyi, this is just like a grilled cheese but with a burger on it). The potato chips (homemade) with cheese and bacon were fantastic, though a somewhat small portion to share. The prices were quite reasonable too. As people who tend to gravitate toward bar & grill type places, we'll defiantly be returning to the Red Mule again soon. Can't wait to try the pizza! Oh.. word of advice for newbies - enter on the side, at the nondescript door with nothing but a red mule on it. Took us a few minutes to figure that out,...

The Red Mule has been one of our favorite places but we couldn't help but notice that the salad was not wonderful like it used to be; no croutons and the blue cheese which was always excellent was not good at all. Your burgers that used to be great seemed like a pre fried industrial burger was opposed to the great burgers you made before and the mayonnaise you are serving now tastes like some kind of industrial, no taste kind of sauce. We also bought a small pizza and even the pizza seemed off. This was maybe 4-5 days ago. I am not asking for any compensation just please go back to the good food you previously...
