Tim & Shelly’s 2nd St Bar & Grill

I would like to repeat Stacey L’s review, but, fast forward to May 10, 2015 (also Mother’s Day). It remains exactly as she stated. The only redeeming value was the $ 9.95 cost. Clearly, they are not capable of handling a large buffet crowd. They would be better suited to reduce the seats by ¹⁄₃ and increase the price by 1/​3, and, actually serve enough food. I was only able to get a couple chicken wings, but, the food I saw on other people’s plates looked okay.

Made reservations for 1pm. Waited until 145 and then get told our table was given away. If that wasn’t bad enough, the lady (I believe the owner) lies to our faces and says she came out 3 times and called our name. Talk about an insult to injury. We left.

Good pub food. Friendly staff. They have great adult root beer – we recommend everyone try it! This is a fun local place to go!

I and the family had dinner at Tim and Shelly’s this past Friday. We were seated quickly, and perused the extensive menu. We started out with Irish Nachos, waffle fries covered with cheese sauce, taco meat, diced tomatoes and onions. Perfect! For dinner, my wife and son ordered the Prime Rib dinner, my daughter had the coconut shrimp and I had the Fisherman’s platter, which consisted of all-​you-​can eat walleye, grouper and butterfly shrimp. The food came out quickly, and the servers were pleasantly attentive. As for the food, the walleye was breaded, fried and cooked to flaky perfection, with just the right amount of southern style seasoning. The grouper was batter dipped, and crunchy light, and again cooked to perfection. Definitely not frozen, freshly made, and the best fish you can get in Chillicothe. I made sure to get seconds on the fish and shrimp. I also sampled my daughter’s coconut shrimp, and I plan to get that next time out. Delicious! My wife and son were also pleased with their choices. We also indulged in the free, yes, free mini dessert bar, which was the perfect way to end our meal. In my opinion this is definitely one of the best restaurants in the area, and a great place to eat before or after a movie at the theater across the street.

I have eaten here a few times since they opened. The good experience I had there was with their catfish meal. I wasnt disappointed at all, it was very good. The bad experience I had there was when I ordered a burger. I was pregnant at the time and they served me a raw burger. For that reason, I will never go back.

Oh, how I wish I had looked at Unilocal before stopping here. I had the unfortunate experience of ordering the «spaghetti», which another reviewer has already revealed to be made of egg noodles. We ordered the sweet potato fries — and they came with honey drizzed all over. A warning would’ve sufficed, but a disappointing surprise. Our beer had a taste that revealed their taps need a good cleaning. At 6pm on a Friday, the restaurant had already run out of three of their four nightly specials. The restaurant was packed, but we aren’t certain why. The salad bar was a disappointment, I came away with just a scoop of cottage cheese because things didn’t look clean. Pass this one by.

This used to be a local pub called Bailey’s. Oh, how I miss it.
Tim & Shelly’s has been in business in this location for a couple of years now. I’ve eaten here a few times, and the food is really nothing to write home about. We met family there yesterday for Mother’s Day, and it was awful enough that I felt I needed to write a review.
–This visit was buffet only They have a full menu, but would not let anyone order from the regular menu (which is what several of us wanted to do). Instead, they had a small buffet in a dark corner that was poorly stocked. Salad bar was dirty looking.
–Half of the items on the ‘buffet menu’ didn’t actually exist on the buffet, including soup and the fruit and vegetable tray. Their ‘fruit and vegetable tray’ was a big plate of watermelon slices. That’s it.
–It was a roughly 15 minute wait in the buffet line each time. Constantly running out of food. After two attempts, I just gave up, and so did most of our party.
–Both times I went up, I had to rifle through the stack of plates to find a CLEAN one.
–I am pretty certain they were breaking fire code in the area we were sitting, which is normally the bar. They crammed a table next to the bar and shoved us there. So, if I leaned back in my chair, I’d hit my head on the bar. A gentleman at the table near us tried to get up, but the chairs were so close to each other that he fell trying to get around them. Unacceptable!
–I opened the chafing dish that was labeled ‘spaghetti’. Their ‘spaghetti’ was flat, wide, 2″ long egg noodles with tomato sauce. That is NOT spaghetti!
–Dessert was laughable. The brownies were 1 inch square, no kidding. You would have had to grab 3 slices of their pie portion to equal one normal slice of pie.
We won’t be back. Ever.

This place went through an ownership and then name change. It went from being the best place in town to one of the worst. I took my mom there for lunch one day and my pub burger was worse than going to McDonald’s and the tenderloin on her tenderloin sandwhich had no breading on it. It was awful. I will not go back.
