Baba’s Grill — Restaurant in Ohio

Partner and I tried this place last night, 04MAY24, on a whim. I had the Reuben sandwich with a side of hand cut fries and my partner had an order of wings and hush puppies.

Reuben was perfectly executed. Bread was toasted perfectly for me, not to soft yet not like eating a bathroom tile. Sauerkraut and Corned beef were very flavorful and delicious.

Stopped in on Saturday evening at around 6 PM. There was one additional table in the restaurant when we showed up and the occasional person stopping in to grab take-out. This was the first time we had been there and definitely love the atmosphere and appreciate how friendly the person taking our order was. The food itself was definitely good albeit a little on the pricier side for what it was (still very reasonable though). The only real complaint that I have is regarding the wait time. Coming from a background of a small family owned restaurant I understand not having the bandwidth to be able to turn food around on a dime, but there is definitely room for improvement in that regard. As a whole, I'd recommend giving this...
