Reviews Summary

Manhattan's Pub 'n Cheer is praised for its warm, character-filled atmosphere and delicious American fare, with standouts like hand-cut fries and the NYC Cheesesteak. While many enjoy the friendly service and unique New York vibe, some diners found the Sunday brunch selection limited for vegetarians and a specific omelet disappointing. Overall, it's considered a charming local gem with consistently good food and a welcoming ambiance.

"A Charming Spot with Delicious Eats

This local pub is full of character and charm, making it a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the bartenders were attentive and friendly throughout our visit, ensuring we had everything we needed.

The food was delicious! The hand-cut fries were a standout—perfectly crispy and full of flavor. We tried the NYC Cheese Steak, which was fantastic, served with a flavorful au jus that complemented the sandwich perfectly. We also ordered the Kong Smash Burger, which was decent but didn’t quite stand out as much as the other items.

All in all, this is a great place to stop by for good food, friendly service, and a cozy, character-filled atmosphere. We will definitely stop in next time we pass through the area!"

"May 2025: Great food and ambiance. A good lunch or dinner spot in downtown Toledo. Open on Monday while many other places are closed. Bar and dining area is straight out of yesteryear. Our party enjoyed fish and chips, steak and chicken Marsala. I rate the food a 10/10. Desserts available are tiramisu, carrot cake and cheese cake."

Steve H

"A true gem! Was in town for the Ohio Travel Association annual fall conference and decided on this place for lunch before going home. Great atmosphere, super cute restaurant, nice bathrooms, great menu (food & beer), great music playing even! While exploring the menu we were told the bread, pesto, and pierogi’s were made in house. So were the fries and kettle chips it seemed! Food was delicious and we would definitely return next time we’re in Toledo!"

The Top Restaurants In Toledo, Ohio

Located in bustling downtown Toledo, Manhattan’s seeks to bring a slice of New York into this Ohio city. The wooden floors, exposed brick floors and bright artwork, including a painted mural of the New York skyline,recall the aesthetic of traditional local New York bars, while the menu playfully references New York place names, such as the SoHo scallop BLT salad or the South Street Cedar Plank. Chef Ian Regent also translates New York’s cosmopolitan edge with his unique and rustic European-inspired dishes, the monthly wine dinners allowing diners to try a variety of wines, each of which is carefully and creatively paired with a dish.

This neighborhood hangout on Adams Street aims to give you the New York experience right here at home, and invites you to “come for the food and stay for the people”. Grab a drink at the wooden wraparound bar, or opt for a tasty, New York-inspired dish such as Union Square Fettuccine Alfredo, beer battered goat cheese curds, a Five Borough Grilled Cheese, or New York Strip (of course) from chef Ian Regent. If you’re looking to bring the pup, you’ll have to sit on the patio.

On Sundays, though, the restaurant becomes one of the premier brunch stops in Toledo, featuring a slew of traditional breakfast items, as well as a bottomless coffee and Mimosa included.
