“ Another pleasant surprise in Moweaqua. Kind of looks like a dive bar from the outside but nice, casual place inside. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Didn't know what a "shoe" was but waitress recommended it and it didn't disappoint. Huge plate of tasty food that she said would make you make you happy, full and a little sleepy-she was right. Very nice patio area, just too windy and dusty from the combining that day. The appetizer of fried chicken livers was enough for a meal. My friend had the Frisco burger and it looked delicious also. I wish I had a local place like this around me. THANK YOU for a wonderful time. ”
“ Came to Findlay to visit family and looked for something new to try on Google Maps. So glad this place came up. The food was amazing and the waitress was so fun! We will definitely be back. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! ”
“ Good food in a clean environment with really good service. Great example of good small town dining. The chicken livers were great with lots of crumblies! The breaded tenderloin is large and very thick with lots of meat. Not sure who could eat the whole thing. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ This place has some amazing food. Second time here because we don’t live in the area. Wanted to come back after our first trip out here 3 years ago. We have the pretzel bites and Cuban sandwich. Just a great as the first visit. ”
“ We came there just because of the pictures of the food we saw on their google business page (Peoria,IL.) . MAN was it worth it !! We had an amazing server, she was sweet and polite and the food......OUTSTANDING !! It was SOOOOO Good !!! And we got to meet the owner,...equally impressed with her manners, and very nice & Friendly. She even came over & talked to us ! GREAT place to eat !! Very reasonably priced, we WILL be back. Thank-you to Angie (Owner) and the Fantastic team over there !!! ”
“ Portion sizes are great! You can’t go wrong with any of the horseshoes. They always have exciting meals for the daily special as well! And the fresh made chips are delicious. ”
“ Little gem of a place tucked away in a small town and hidden behind a nondescript facade. We drove an hour to be here since word of mouth was so positive. We were not disappointed. The ABS burger is an inspired combination of peanut butter, bacon and blackberry sauce. PRO TIP: Hold the cheese. American cheese clashes a bit with the wonderful flavors of this burger. I think that a Muenster would go better. I had the special which was a Hawaiian Chicken sandwich. It was really good and the sweet and sour sauce was remarkable. Go for the tots over the fries. Service is very friendly and attentive. For the price we paid, we felt like we got a good deal, as the portion sizes are pretty big. ”
“ If you find yourself in Moweaqua, you absolutely must make a pit stop at the Salty Farmer. Whether you're in town for a specific reason or just passing through on a road trip, it's worth taking a detour to dine here. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted promptly. Our server was quick to take our drink and appetizer order, and let me tell you - the portions are massive! We tried the fried mushrooms and fried pickles and couldn't even finish them. Moving on to our entrees, the portions were just as generous and everything was incredibly tasty. We'll definitely be coming back for more. After our meal, we wandered around the charming shops in downtown Moweaqua. Checking the Salty Farmer off my bucket list was the cherry on top of a great dining experience! #bucketlist ”
