What a wonderful place! When the local diner in the small town of Ovid was destroyed by fire, the town rallied and made use of their local VFW hall to re-create a local diner. The menu items are playfully named with a "military theme" (eg "The MRE Burger"). Our server was kind and helpful. For a hearty, very reasonably priced homestyle meal, this is the place!

This is part of the Ovid VFW. They opened to fill a community void when a fire destroyed several businesses including two restaurants. Once they knew the restaurants would not be rebuilding they started serving breakfast and lunch knowing the locals needed an accessible place to dine. We were visiting the area and saw a sign advertising dinner. It was their first night and they did a great job. The menu is diverse and typical of what you might find in a local diner. The food was well prepared, fresh and hot. I enjoyed a fried clam dinner. The clams were freshly shucked battered and fried and the french fries were made using fresh potatoes, not frozen. My wife enjoyed a salad with a crisply fried chicken cutlet. The portions were generous and priced fairly. Our waitress, Shannon,

My wife had the fried chicken dinner and I had the seafood platter. Both were excellent! Plentiful and tasty! Service was on point. We'll be back!

Since the loss of our diner to the devastating Jan 21, 2025 fire, the VFW has been instrumental in supporting those impacted by the fire and the entire community. When former employees of the diner, through the decades, banded together to open up at their new Chow Hall, they gave us all a sense of normalcy again. If you are passing through, visiting our community on vacation, or living locally, we encourage you to come visit! True diner style food, specials, clean ambiance, and plenty of seating/parking.
