Invention Restaurant - Milan, Oh

A nice place with good food and a friendly ambiance. Nice little town - birthplace of Thomas Edison. - they still have a town square there. Glad we stopped- not many places to get a decent meal along this stretch of the Ohio turnpike

My favorite breakfast food is country fried steak and sausage gravy with over medium eggs. Well, boom!! Out of the park delicious. Their loaded hashbrowns were crunchy and well seasoned! My wife had egg whites and bacon with two huge pancakes

The real deal. No prepared food here. I travel a lot! I intentionally get off the Interstate Highway and look for little Mom & Pop cafes with homemade food that is frequented by locals - especially for breakfast. And, better yet, if I can find a place that has breakfast all day. Hallelujah! This is one of those places. The owner has four area restaurants like this and knows exactly how to operate a successful local business and keep America’s small town main streets and squares alive. “Abbie,” thanks for a great breakfast, good coffee, a little entertainment, and a joyful presentation.

Great Restaurant Better Food! On my way fishing for the day with my Grandson Jaxson, I want to take him to a restaurant that wasn't fast food. I made sure we talked about Thomas Edison due to the restaurant's atmosphere with Edison pictures thru out. I had the Corned Beef Hash Plater ( my favorite ) w/egg's and wheat toast. Jaxson got the Cheese Burger in paradise & Fries Everything was fantastic! The service was awesome

A great small town diner experience. Had the Trash Potatoes. Kind of open omelet or skillet with meats, tomatoes, onion, I opted for sausage gravy on top. Was excellent ! All ingredients were fresh. A friendly place and busy with lots of locals...always a good sign!

Great little diner, jam packed for breakfast especially on the weekends. That's always a good sign. Right there in little town of Milan, where Thomas Edison was born. It's right on the square of the town, and it's quite picturesque -- quintessential small town Ohio. I just happened upon this place, and was absolutely thrilled to try it. Had a good breakfast, wonderful wait staff, and they even carry some of the local chocolates, which were absolutely yummy. I'd like to get back there for lunch because I suspect it'd be great. Tiny dining room but again, don't be afraid to sit at the counter. Definitely lots of local flavor, definitely a hangout that is worth the trip.

Best breakfast restaurant in the area. We drive from Bellevue because we like food that doesnt taste like old grease. Don't get me wrong, we've had good food and service at other restaurants, but this place is the most consistent.

Loved the trash potatoes. The staff is friendly, kind, and attentive. My coffee mug never got below the halfway mark before our server came by to give it a warm-up. The place has a wonderfully cozy, hometown ambiance that can’t be beat. Would definitely stop again if I’m ever in the area.
