I think the prices have gone up but you do get a large amount of food! The rod burger is good and the loaded fries are fantastic.

Great little restaurant. Nothing about "fast food" here, and that is really good. This restaurant reminds me of places my parents used to take me back in the 1950's. Nothing fancy, just very good food at reasonable prices. We've driven up here from Cincinnati 3 times in the last year and we always look forward to coming back!

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but definitely a hidden little gem of a sandwich shop. Food was served fast and portions were huge, all the sandwiches are easily shareable by 2. Fried apps were delicious and food came out quickly! Star of the show for us was the double ham and cheese.

Such a fantastic dive - food is exactly what you'd expect: consistent and plentiful. Surprised by the Wednesday Special. Spend $10 and get a slice of their ahhhmazing peanut butter pie or a cinnamon roll. TBH I really went there for the pie! Ended up with the fish dinner. Fried fish better than most places, too many fries (but you just have to try to eat them all anyway) and minced Cole slaw. It's the perfect slaw for a southern hot dog, but that's not on the menu. Pie went home with me.

I wondered what the hype was all about and initially felt it was just the lack of competition since this is a dive diner in the middle of nowhere. When we first walked in I thought "this is it?" The parking lot was full, but the seating section was tiny and felt very old school. It turns out there are two dining areas. You have to walk between the kitchen and the cash register to get to the bigger half. We'll try that next time because the smaller section felt cramped. The food is decent, the prices are great, and the portions are huge so the budget-friendly convenience for the hungry people could be the draw. That's why we will be back and it's also why I'm giving them four stars even though the quality of the food and atmosphere would usually only give them three from me. I do appreciate a good value when I'm feeling too lazy to cook. The burgers were recommended to us, and who doesn't love a good burger! They are smash burgers and they are huge! Too big to pick up because the burger extended way beyond the bun. We used forks to whittle them down until we could pick them up. They were flavorful and cooked perfectly. I wish someone had told me how HUGE the sides are. We absolutely could have shared an order of tots. It's big enough to feed your whole family. We also enjoyed the cheese curds, but again, huge portion. Next time we'll split the fried mushrooms. Side note, we wanted to order another cheap beer and dessert, but the server never came back so we gave up and left, after paying the bill at the counter.

My favorite burgers place in Wilmington, OH is Rods restaurant. Delicious it's the best restaurant in 45177

If you can find the place you're in for some good food and good prices. I didn't understand how they have a restaurant way out in the middle of nothing and how it does so well. The service was friendly, portions beyond generous and reasonable prices. For some reason I had a cash convenience charge of $1.75. The price quickly went up with that nonsense charge, $3.00 to put cheese on the french fries, and ticky-tack charges. When I left, I let out some farts and pulled them back Inn.

We've passed this place a few times on a our way to Cowan Lake to do some camping. This time we made a point of making this a camping meal. I picked up a to go order and we ate our burgers at the camper. First, the amount of fries you get is over the top. And the burgers. Yea. I'm not a burger person. I never order burgers when I eat out. After reading the reviews I decided to break this habit. We will be ordering from Capricorn Inn EVERY time we camp in the area and I will get the burger EVERY time. Food was hot, fries crispy. Worth a drive to this spot!
