Fostoria Dell's

THE best ribs in Ohio and their famous "fried" mac & cheese is life changing! No wonder they're approaching their 100th anniversary!!!

I've been to this diner a handful of times and the food is ok. It's priced reasonably and made fresh but lacks seasoning imo. My most recent visit has actually prompted this bad review. My mother (who is blind and has poor balance) and I went here on a Friday at 530p for an early dinner. The place had 5 tables taken and the rest of the place was empty.My mother and I sat at a booth that was empty because it was close to the door and the waitress came up to is and demanded we sit somewhere else. I explained that we needed to sit at a booth because my mom is extremely self conscious about eating out due to her vision loss. The waitress huffed away muttering under her breath and proceeded to help the table behind us after they sat at a dirty table and loudly said "these tables are dirty and no one should be sitting here".She then came over to our table, slammed down the menus and tableware and rudely asked what we wanted to drink. I asked if there was a problem and she rudely replied, "these tables are dirty and no one can sit here until they're wiped down. It's a food and safety law." NOTHING was said to us about the table being dirty, that's why we sat there. There were no dishes, no straw wrappers or any other debris that would indicate someone previously sat there.... and since it's a seat yourself environment we chose that table because it looked clean and was close to the door.When I asked if she could wipe it down and we requested new silverware and menus that didn't touch a dirty table she flipped out and started yelling at me.Never have I been treated as poorly as I have at this establishment. Bad day or not, she made my self conscious mother even more so because of the scene this rude waitress created. I took my mother home and made her dinner. My mother RARELY goes out, especially to eat, because she's afraid she will spill her food on her and doesn't want to make a mess for the wait staff or be embarrassed because she spilled food on herself. So taking her out for dinner was a BIG deal and the temper tantrum from this rude waitress made my mom cry. Mind you, this waitress didn't give the patrons behind us a hard time. They also sat at a dirty booth AFTER us and she rudely cleaned their table after making snide comments to them.Needless to say, my family will NEVER spend out money at this diner again, nor will we recommend it to any of our friends who come to the area for a visit.My family and I support local business whenever we have the opportunity, however, their lack of empathy and consideration towards a visually impaired, elderly woman is not only appalling but downright despicable and I will not support that kind of business- locally owned or not.Shame on you, Dell's. Know better and be better.

The food that I've ordered is usually breakfast. It's very good. Definitely a Mom & Pop place. Staff is kind of grumpy.

If you've read my other reviews, you know I never leave a five star. Dells would be at least four and a half. Good service, good food, and a HomeTown atmosphere. Really enjoyed our meal there. I had breakfast at 1:00 in the afternoon! I was really glad I did

Walking down memory lane. Ate at Dell's in the late 1960's & early 1970's. Surprised it was still open. Glad it was. Our party of three sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant. I don't think the floor layout has changed in all the years. We ordered two cheese burgers & fries and a Monday Special of Beef & Noodle along with two sodas. All that was less than $35. DEAL. Burgers were nice size patties with perfectly toasted buns. Beef and noodles were served over REAL mashed potatoes. The noodles were not homemade which for the price was expected. Generous chunks of meat were found throughout the dish. Oh forgot to say a salad bar was included with the Special. I was pleasantly surprised to find a picked beat juice whole egg. The owner chatted with us. Excellent customer service.

perfect perfect perfect the best thing ever is the gravy the best food ever!!!!!!! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good greasy food nothing wrong with it. Service has been fair I think they make u wait a little longer than necessary. It's decorated with a 50's vibe and old school lunch pails

I ordered breakfast from here one time when I was in Fostoria. It was terrible. The eggs were over cooked and browned. The home fries as they called them were terrible. They did not have hash browns. The whole thing was just gross. The restaurant itself looks old and run down. I think they have been there for like 50 years or something like that and it looks it. No reason they can't remodel the inside. I'll doubt I'll go back there next time I'm in Fostoria. If I want breakfast again I'll spend my money at the Bob Evan's.

We have a client in Fostoria and this is our favorite place to grab lunch at when we are here.It's our understanding this place has been around forever and I can see why. Reasonable prices, great food, fast service and wonderful employees.

Great little diner. Food always good and freshly prepared to order. Service is small town friendly.
