“We stopped in the other day for a fairly large order and we were amazed at how fast and awesome the service was! Thanks for the awesome afternoon snack.” -Facebook review. 

Mi Familia Mexican Store and Restaurant 

131 E Main St. | Leipsic | ordermifamiliamexicanstoreandrestaurant.com

Now it is time to look into some delicious Mexican cuisine! Try all of the classic foods while knowing you are consuming the freshest ingredients! 

Consider ordering an entree like the Fajita platter which is steak or chicken fajitas with onions and green peppers, served with rice and bean. As well as a side of avocado or rice. 

The enchilada platter also sounds delicious, which is 3 corn tortillas with your choice of ground beef, chicken, or cheese. It is then filled with cheese and topped with enchilada sauce and cheese. And on the side served with rice and beans. 

“Great food, great service and the take home tamales on Saturday morning are excellent. Salsa and guacamole are perfect starters. The enchilada platter and barbacoa tacos seem to be stand-outs as my go-to dishes. Great family atmosphere as all the family members are there helping out. We make it in every weekend since we found this gem!” -Yelp review. 

Tonys

1702 E Main St. | Ottawa | Tony’s Facebook

Since 1962, Tony’s is another restaurant around Leipsic that has their fair share of American foods like burgers and fried chicken. They are locally operated as well!

The hamburger meat used is freshly grinded and they are known for their famous Titanburger. They also have their sweet treats to choose from as well. 

As we mentioned before the Titanburger may be a great option to choose as well as their sizzle steak and hoagie burger. Consider a side order like mac n cheese and seasoned curly fries. 

Now let's get to the sweet stuff! A cone, sundae, or even soda/freeze. This will surely cool you down after the burger, wings, or chicken! 

“We routinely divert off our path from Indianapolis to Greenwich OH to grab burgers here. My husband loves the Titanburger and my son and I go for the regular cheeseburgers. The seasoning is simple but tasty on them, and the burger thickness is perfect. Opt for the traditional straight fries over the curly fries, they are thick, crispy, and delicious.” -Yelp review. 

The Schnipke Inn

202 W Main St. | Ottawa | schnipkeinnbusiness.com

Proudly referred to as an American Restaurant, the Schnipke Inn has a bunch of different options to choose from.

Start off the night with an appetizer like fries with a choice of them being waffle, straight, or beer. Then maybe look at the sandwich board! All sandwiches come with chips and a pickle. You can add the salad bar, bacon, or cheese to any sandwich. Maybe try the fresh tenderloin, grilled or fried. 

If you want something lighter consider one of the “lighter lunches,” your choice of a 6 oz grilled sirloin, 6 oz grilled chicken breast, grilled pork chop, or baked Hoki fish served with a side of cottage cheese, peaches, and a small side salad. 

This might be the choice if you aren’t feeling super hungry! 

“Stopped in when travelling and was pleasantly surprised.  The locals seem to like this place as the staff knew everyone by name.  Ordered the turkey club sandwich and was a generous portion and delicious.  Plan to stop back when passing back through.” -Yelp review. 

Legends GSS

130 W Main St. | Ottawa | Legends GSS Facebook

How does an American sports bar sound? Get some classic greasy food while the game is on tv! Start off with an appetizer like “fireballs” which are breaded hot pepper cheese cubes and they are served with your choice of wing sauce. Jalapeno peppers could also be a great beginner for your meal. 

Maybe order a pizza, salad, sandwich/wrap or basket for your main meal. The taco salad sounds especially appetizing and that is tortilla chips topped with seasoned beef, lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, cheese, and add sour cream and salsa if you’d like! 

All of this with a coke or lemonade sounds great to us! 

“I love their chicken wings. Scorchin' extra saucy on traditional wings is a great experience. These wings can go toe to toe with any of your favorite big name chain wing joints. Try out their gizzards and chicken chunks too.” -Google review. 

Red Pig Inn

1470 N Perry St. | Ottawa | redpiginn.com

Now let's talk about an American favorite, barbeque! This smoked food is a great type of cuisine that many can get down with! 

Red Pig Inn provides all the best kind of barbeque so we will tell you a little about the place. They have a lunch menu, and a dinner menu. 

Start off with an appetizer like the Red Pig nachos, cheddar jack cheese, jalapeños, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. You can add barbeque, pulled pork, or ground beef for an additional fee as well. 

Pasta, flatbreads, and salads are some of the options to choose from. We specifically took a look at the margherita flatbread which is tomato sauce, basil, drizzle of olive oil, diced tomatoes, parmesan, and mozzarella. 

“The Mgr. Sandy Sue was wonderful, we had a meeting here Mon. Our sever was 10 stars, all 22 people in our group raved about the food!
