I always meet some one you would have to like when I go here. Lock # 15 is my favorite breakfast, named for the canal lock across the street. I met historian, David Reich over a biscuit and gravy and he told me the history of the area. Things are not as they seem. Actually the town was named after a couple of drunks, not Wm Henry Harrison The cook was crazy and forceful. The waitress was gracious and lovely. The gravy was peppery not salty. Pictures on the wall reminded me that , gee I can't remember his name, the comedian on Morc use to live near here and come to this restaurant. Where else would you go for breakfast?

Sam and Ethel’s is as stereotypical as you can get when it comes to small-town dining. The red vinyl booths and the window to the kitchen set the stage for your down-home meal. It looks like little has changed in the past few decades, but everything appears to be clean. Their specialty is definitely breakfast, and there seems to be a regular crowd. Hotcakes are their most popular item, and they make them large! Don’t order a stack of hotcakes at this restaurant; a single hotcake covers the entire plate—and sometimes drapes over the sides. This operation seems to be run by a small group of workers, and nothing seems to be cooked until ordered. Therefore, do not come here if you are in any type of a hurry. You just might be there almost two hours. While it might not be worth the wait all the time and a lot of the locals seem to be frequenting the fairly new Bob Evans’ more, Sam and Ethel’s has been a Tipp City institution for decades and deserves at least one visit from you for nostalgia’s sake—when you’re not in a hurry.
