V & M Restaurant Bellville, Ohio — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Used to visit the Mansfield location. Wasted many, many lunch hours driving to the location only to find a handwritten note on the door providing an excuse as to why they were closed for the day AGAIN. I swore to never eat at a V&M again. A friend in Bellville stated it was under new management and he wanted me to try it with him. Grudgingly I accepted because the special of the day was bean soup and I went to get some for my wife. I ordered two bowls to go.

Planning on trying lunch...
