Dick's Place

Important note, place only excepts cash. There is a ATM inside but it charges a fee to use. My first time here. Invited by coworker to check out. Outside is easy to miss because it is a plain building. Inside clean and old but clean. Many pictures of historic Newcomerstown. I order a 8oz sirloin steak medium well with baked potato, green beans and Dr. pepper for $19.02. It took awhile to cook steak. I order medium well as a test because I like mine well done but places tend to burn or dry them out instead. A little more red than I like but not bad and skillet fried. Very hot baked potato. I ate my green beans and steak before finishing the baked potato and it still was steaming hot. Green beans soft and good. My negatives is only butter for potato and nothing else. Steak a little rubbery and more red than I like but still tasty, and the cash only. I didn't take pictures since it is a local restaurant and the people seemed a little annoyed when I tried to take one. Local people are there for food and relax and expect the same from others. Friendly. I may check it again another time. It's not bad. Not exactly four stars but not a three either.

Ate there for lunch last week because we wanted to try one of the "new" lunch specials. The food was ok (roast beef was really salty,gravy was very thin and runny) but the issue was the establishment itself! The stench of sewage was very strong. (Think port-a-potty!) The lighting was dim and hard to see. Used the restroom and there was mouse droppings on the changing table the ladies room. The service was ok, when you saw her. The single waitress was in the back kitchen area 75% of the time we was there. Was happy to leave and escape the stench to fresh air outdoors! This restaurant needs some TLC. Looks more like a dive bar.

Good steak. Small family owned diner. Honestly my whole meal was good. Had a beer and jack and coke. Got the check and it was extremely cheap which shocked me. Good stop in small town.

Ate there tonight. I had cod and my partner had ribs. Cod was good. Green beans were good. Home fries ok. Bread great, dipping sauce strange. Ribs slightly overdone. Fries are hand cut and a little greasy, could have been cooked a bit more. Beer cold. Atmosphere small old cafe. Probably the best in town.

Was skeptical when arriving although the hotel desk clerk said it was good. She was so wrong...it was Amazing! The chopped steak with gravy and Mushrooms melts in your mouth. The country fried steak was cooked perfectly. To finish off dinner we went with the apple dumpling....to die for!. To top it all off our waitress (a teacher in her off shifts) was pleasant and attentive. For a hole in the wall (we would normally never have stepped foot in) it was OUTSTANDING.

The food is very good and reasonably priced. I ordered the BBQ and mashed potatoes and corn. Would highly recommend.
