The food we had tonight was really good. We had the Stromboli as it was buy one/ get one half off. That's a good thing because we ordered small portion, and we were served the large, higher priced item. I don't believe it was intentional, and we didn't fuss since it just meant we'd have leftovers. The large order was two Stromboli per person, with each having about 6 cuts, so that was a lot of food!
We also had a small order of wings. I had the mild which are pretty much the same anywhere you go - my son had the hot carribean and he loved them. He even got a side of sauce to bring home. Wait service was good overall but for the portion mistake, and I asked for another beer which was never brought - but in all fairness - it's kind of loud in the place and she probably didn't hear me. Again, I didn't fuss. I just figured that was a sign I didn't need it, and honestly with all that dough in my belly, I'm glad I didn't have it.
I really like the design of Dina's - with the old roll-up garage doors now serving as windows. I believe it did indeed used to be a "filling station" and now they cleverly market that into the name. I can attest to the fact that you will get full at this restaurant.
The only detractor for me is that at the end of the day, it's a sports bar. I'm of the opinion that there are far too many sports bars and that nice, mid-price places where you can have good food *and* good conversation are a dying species. Oh, and to the Yelper who complained that Dina's doesn't have a large selection of microbrews/crafts etc. That's what Ohio City is for or go to Fatheads in North Olmstead.
