Any small business that has been around for 58 years in this day and age must be good! Midway Oh Boy is a great burger joint, but they also have wonderful homemade dinner specials and soups. They also have great desserts, milkshakes and proudly serve Mama Joe's Pies.
Many of the waitresses working at the restaurant have been around for well over 10 years and some have even been there for over two decades. If you want service with a smile then this is your place!
Oh Boy's prices are comparable to similar restaurants in the area. Dinner for two with drinks and desserts will run you about 30 bucks.
Seating is on a first come first serve basis and you must seat yourself (no hostess). Even if you have to wait for a table you won't wait too long because they have a very fast turn-over. They have booths, tables and a great counter with bar stools to sit at. Food comes out pretty quickly, but on a busy weekend evening you may have to wait 15-20 minutes because they also have a large amount of to-go orders they are making as well.
Daily dinner and soup specials are available. Lake Erie Perch is served on Friday and their to-die-for chicken paprikas soup is served on Thursday.
I highly recommend giving Midway Oh Boy a try if you are in Lorain County...especially if you are sick of the chain-type sit down restaurants. They have been around since 1953 for a reason!
In addition to their Elyria location Midway Oh Boy has a booth at the Lorain County Fair and a trailer that they take around to all of the local summer and fall festivals.

BTW...I do work at Midway Oh Boy restaurant Part-time and have for 19 years. That said, this review is totally unbiased and I tried to just provide as many fact based assessments on this review as possible.
