The September 2014 issue of Country Living, the official publication of our electric company, South Central Power, includes a great article “Head for the hills! A foodie our of the Hocking Hills.” Now don’t get me wrong, Dave and I love the Inn at Cedar Falls, Glenlaurel Inn and the Grouse Nest for fine dining, and this same issue also devotes a separate article to them. But sometimes you want something a little more laid back and let’s face it, less expensive.

The comfort food article lists some great local restaurants including Laurelville’s Ridge Inn. Simply put The Ridge Inn know how to cook a good steak and surround it with delicious sides. The most welcome addition to the comfort food category is the Hocking Hills Dining Lodge. It’s been under new management since last year and is now one of our favorite places to have a glass of wine and dinner. We’ve been to all of the restaurants mentioned but would like to add one more: The Home Tavern in Logan.  It’s located near the Washboard Factory. Last time I was there, I had the country fried steak sandwich. They serve it smothered in gravy. Yum!

Read about all of these restaurants, except the Home Tavern at http://www.countryliving.coop/departments/head-hills/.

Happy dining!
