I haven't been there in at least 7 years. Maybe longer. Same fries? Or did they change that too? Was going to add them to my list of places to stop while out and about in the spring months. I plan to take in a few Walsh and/or CVCA baseball games.
Completely new ownership. Based on the pictures of their food, Their fries look good, but their onion rings look even better.
It was Retro Dog.
The owners are a local group who own the Retro Dog, Clutch Lanes up the street and Rise and Shine in Falls. They may have other spots but I know it's a group who runs them all in some capacity.
They sold the Retro Dog.
Couldn't agree more, they always say there is more to life than football, and this thread shows that.
This belongs in the Kent Roosevelt thread.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAThis belongs in the Kent Roosevelt thread.
I'm not sure we are doing a good job at it. I asked where I should go in Stow and was told to skip Stow and head to Hudson.
Kent has a good amount of restaurants these days!This belongs in the Kent Roosevelt thread.
Kent has a great selection of restaurants, a lot of variety, local places and chains to pick from. Big fan of Rays Place.
I think thats a common trend in the City of Stow, leaving for greener pastures. We should get a "Stow Letter of Intent for Lunch" put together for the public to bring in more revenue for the city.I'm not sure we are doing a good job at it. I asked where I should go in Stow and was told to skip Stow and head to Hudson.
Call the Stow Sentry. Special announcement! I'm giving my commitment right here - the next time I am in the western reserve area, I pledge that I will go to a restaurant in Stow.
I'd put Old Carolina, El Campessino and Bellacino's hats on the table in front of me then make my choice.
Downtown Kent, Rays Place, the southern kitchen inside of The Venice is excellent and Taco Tontos. Can't go wrong with any of them.
I like Stow a lot. The lack of a downtown/commons type of area just makes it feel like it's lacking just a bit though, especially with Kent, Falls and Hudson having really nice downtown areas.
Yes, I ate there in the summer a couple of times, had burgers, hot dogs, french fries and ice cream. I think it shut down during and because of the pandemic.
Decent place for wings and a beer. I prefer The Basement though.
I also prefer the basement over wing warehouse and I have to pass wing warehouse to go pick up the basement when it is ready. Head to the basement for post game meal.
I prefer Wing Warehouse over The Basement but both are good. Warehouse is ran better IMO.
The one time I got carry out from Wing Warehouse there was only 1 table of people and the floor was sticky when I was walking to get my food. Maybe it was just a bad day for them when I got carry out.
I haven't been to the Basement in Stow yet, but have been to other locations. I've been to the Wing Warehouse in Stow and CF. I can't remember too much about either place other than they both have typical bar food. But I think I like the wings at the wing warehouse better. Doesn't the Basement have bands on the weekends? That can be good or bad depending on the band and what you are in the mood for.
I want to say the Basement in the Falls has bands? That one is more open. The Stow one is much nicer. All I know if their special BBQ is amazing and I would recommend you get their crispy chicken wrap with it on.
I have to try the new place. Retro Dog was OK, but the last couple times my wife and I went, we waited over 30 minutes for our food. It was OK but not worth the wait. I always got the impression they were operationally in over their head and couldn't get orders out fast enough but we might've just caught them on 2 bad days.
I didn't have a lot of experience with Retro Dog. But from what I recall, it was pretty blah except for the fries which were outstanding.
We like the Basement in the Falls...great sports bar vibe, good food at decent prices. Love catching a Guardians game there. I can't comment on the one in Stow but it looks much brighter inside than the Falls location.
They are ahh-yite!! 5 Guys gives a ton more, let Smoove say dat!
Was just gonna say this. Falls Basement is a great place to catch a game. I like the covered patio part.
