Midway Oh Boy Restaurant - Elyria, OH — Restaurant in Elyria Township

A true diner experience! I felt transported back to time as soon as I sat down. This place is not flashy, but I appreciated the cute Valentine's decorations. Cue the excellent oldies playing in the background. Unfortunately, the mini jukebox on the wall by the table was for decor only. The food that my friend & I ordered were pure diner deliciousness. I ordered the appetizer basket to share, which included fries, sauerkraut balls, breaded mushrooms & zucchini, & onion rings. Yummy! The fries are the best! Thin-cut & crispy & totally addictive. I could have had a plate of fries & would have been totally happy. I ordered the BLT sandwich. It was so good!! It had the right amount of everything, including the mayo. The perfect diner sandwich. My friend ordered the double cheeseburger & fries. The cheeseburger was huge, and she could only eat half of it (if that much). The same delicious fries were a generous side dish. However, after sharing the appetizer platter, she ended up taking her fries home. Along with milkshakes, this diner also serves a variety of Mama Jo pie slices! As much as I wanted a piece of Mama Jo lemon meringue pie, I was simply too full. I will be back! Maybe my next meal will simply be fries & pies! Kidding! There are many more great sandwich and meal...

If nothing else, then you gotta’ try the creamy potato soup & an “Oh Boy!” burger with the house sauce.....

This is a longtime local restaurant known for its’ burgers that is easy to find from the I-90 Elyria exits, head south from I-90 toward Midway Mall, turn right at first light - Griswold Road heading west, take another right at second light onto Lake Road, and the restaurant is on your left (west side of street) with parking on side & up front.

It’s a throwback casual diner with booths & table seating around back. It might be a touch more expensive than the fast-food chains, but it’s menu selections and family-owned ambiance more than make up for any extra marginal costs. Plus, its’ usually quiet & a great place to meet for conversation over a fabulous bite to eat. Midway Ih Boy! has plenty of appetizers and light lunch selections. The creamy potato soup is excellent, rich, & filled with potatoes/vegetables. The burgers are good, especially the selections made available with the Oh Boy! mayo-type sauce.

Service is always top-notch in keeping you refreshed & meeting your needs. On my next visit, I would look forward to see what’s...

I have not been here in a while and I was surprised with the feeling we got when we went for dinner recently. Normally were greeted right away with coffee or water as soon as you sit down. But the first 510 minutes or we heard were the staff complaining that they were too busy couldn’t get orders out shorthanded people calling off just complaining. which I understand that is very frustrating but it just gave it a whole different weird vibe. finally ordered. Our food waited a few because they were kind of busy but the food was as good as it always is and the coffee was good so it was just the feeling that it was just a little awkward in there. and of course will be back because it’s oh boy and they have the best...
