Driving through the backroads of Ohio on our way to Pittsburgh, my wife and I decided to stop at Christopher's in Cadiz, Ohio. There was no Yelp page, no website, nothing but an indication on Google Maps that it existed. Driving into Cadiz, we wondered what kind of restaurant it would be, and we were surprised to see that this town was the home of Clark Gable.
The restaurant is an unassuming locale where it is obvious that servers and customers know one another. This is not surprising given the small size of the town, but it also gives out-of-towners like me the feeling that it is a homey place that treats people more as members of their family. I saw that they had a Reuben sandwich on the menu, so I had to try it, with tomato soup on the side since it was a chilly day. My wife had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with sauteed vegetables. Both of us were astonished at how good the food was. My Reuben was the perfect size, the bread was not toasted so hard it would cut my lips open (as is often the case with Reubens), and the tomato soup was thick, spiced perfectly, and very enjoyable. My wife's sandwich was also good, but she thought the sauteed vegetables were the best she had ever had. Whatever spices they used, she absolutely loved them, and they were not cooked down to mush like they are at other restaurants.
If you are ever in Cadiz, Ohio, looking for a brunch or lunch spot, try Christopher's. I don't know when I'll ever be back, but you can bet your last dollar that I'll stop in when I am there.
