Pondis

Killer burgers !!!! This place was a hidden gem. We arrived in Pittsburgh and decided to drive to the NFL HOF in Canton, and pick up lunch on the way. I have no idea how we got so lucky to pick this place along the way. It wasn't planned - just pure coincidence. The waitress was very friendly, and also very attentive. I ended up ordering the Fried Cheese Cheeseburger. The menu said it came with a "wheel" of cheese on it. I totally underestimated what that meant! It was a LARGE chunk of fried cheese that was lowered on a cloud from the heavens above! It made that burger so freaking delicious, and my mouth is watering right now just talking about it!!! It was single-handedly the best burger I've EVER had in my entire life, and I'm not even exaggerating. I also asked to add chili and cheese to my French fries, and the visibly-impressed server exclaimed that she loved the idea. Everything about my meal on the way to Canton was perfect, and it truly became a highlight of my Pittsburgh trip. Next time I'm anywhere within two hours of this place, I definitely plan to come have that burger again!!

The service was amazing, felt like hometown service. The server was really nice and attentive even when it was super busy there. Great ambiance with great food and drink for amazing prices. We got the angry chicken Alfredo was delicious. I would absolutely go here again and wish there were places like this in DC

Had a 6:30 reservation and arrived right at 6:30. There were three groups that walked in with no reservations and were seated ahead of our party. We didn't get seated until 7:15. It was busy but server was very attentive. French Onion soup was marginal at best, wedding soup was decent and wings were good. The steak salads were fair but fries were stone cold. Not a very good experience. Wouldn't come back

It's rare that I will feel confident in giving an establishment a full 5 stars. Especially a restaurant serving Italian food. As the old adage says, "if you want great Italian food at a restaurant, come to my home instead." This is one of those rare cases where one's need for Italian will be well satiated. The atmosphere is relaxed and not too noisy, even with a full room. Jeans and t-shirt are more than acceptable, but if you want to dress up a little that will work too. Date night appropriate!Ordered an appetizer - Hot peppers in oil with garlic bread. It was 4 stars. Very good but maybe not amazing. Would have been perfect if the peppers came piping hot. The real star the evening was the Eggplant Parmesan with Spaghetti and the homemade Lasagna. A true test of an Italian restaurant, in my opinion, is the simplest things like spaghetti marinara. One can really taste if fresh ingredients are used and if the seasoning is done right. This was a very very close second to my wife's home made - from tomatoes she's canned marinara. If you are looking for homemade this is the spot. And then comes the Eggplant Parmesan. Incredible is the easiest way to explain the dish. The lasagna - to keep things simple - was just as amazing as the Eggplant Parmesan. Perfect balance of sweetness of the tomato sauce and rich meaty flavor of the rest. Slowly fading in a Italian Food Coma so the story ends here. If you're within an hour drive of Pondi's make sure to come here. Everyone smiles at you and makes you feel at home, like famiglia. You will not be disappointed.

The food was bussin! We decided to try something different in small town Ohio. Wow!! From the moment we walked in .... Service was spectacular! We were greeted and welcomed graciously. The bloody Mary's were perfectly seasoned and garnished with crispy bacon and olives. The Brussels sprouts sweet potato hash was phenomenal!! Cohort got the chicken and waffles. Insanely good cutlets!! So good in fact we went downstairs and purchased meats for Sunday night family dinner

My friends and I loaded up the kids and his Pondis for dinner. We were a lively bunch with a lot of distraction (a baby and 2 toddlers), our server never missed a beat and was on point the entire time. We started with the cheese wheel (3/5) and meatballs (5/5). Cheese wheel was fine, nothing to rave about. Got a little mushy if you didn't eat it right away. The meatballs did not have to go that hard!! They blew us away. The herbed ricotta made it next level. That, along with the sauce and bread makes this 2 appetizers in 1. I had to get a steak salad (4/5) because I don't live in OH anymore and no one does a steak/fry/ranch situation like us. It was wonderful. My husband got the same but got a raspberry dressing on his, which he loved. Friends got the fish, which was devoured, so I know that was good. Crabcake was reported as lackluster, and the margarita was not great. Kids got tenders, fries, mini corn dogs, mac and cheese. I would say the star of the kids food was the mac. I ate it leftover the next day and I would have gotten it as a side if I could have :PGreat spot! We will be back!

We went to Pondis as it was highly recommended while visiting the area. Our service was excellent and waitress was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely go back if we return to that part of Ohio. My steak salad was a great size portion and the steak was cooked perfectly. My husband enjoyed his filet meal as well. We would definitely return when we're visiting or in that part of town!

WOW! This place is spectacular. The food is delicious and the service was outstanding. A smaller restaurant and bar, but definitely a gem. The menu has a nice variety of mouth watering options to choose from. I went with the wedding soup to start out with and it was simply the best I've ever had. Literally could have drank the broth it was so flavorful. For my entree I went with the angry chicken alfreado and it was equally as amazing. The chicken almost melted in my mouth and was bursting with flavor. The pasta was cooked just right and the sauce was giving. I'm a big fan of all things gorgonzola. The portions were huge. I had plenty of leftovers to take home. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. The place was packed and she handled it very well. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it.

The food is always delicious here. The Johnny Marzetti is no exception, it's very tasty. The service is always friendly and a very clean environment.

Wait time on a Friday night was not bad. Place was busy, hostess was attentive to each group.Food was really good and large portions. Desserts were really good.
