I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
When we were first engaged, my husband was finishing up a graduate degree at Bowling Green State University (go Falcons!). We lived in a tiny efficiency and had no money, and yet I have nothing but fond memories of that time. One of our favorite things to do was ride our bikes around town and chat over coffee (me) and pancakes (him), and there was one place in particular we often found ourselves. Warm and welcoming, Kermit’s Family Restaurant is the kind of small-town diner that invites folks to come, sit, and stay — and that’s why it’s earned the love and adoration of residents and college students alike in Bowling Green, Ohio.
In a world full of Insta filters and skyrocketing inflation, it's nice to know that some places eschew all of that flashy "stuff" and simply focus on warm hospitality, quality food, and affordable prices.
Kermit's Family Restaurant is one such place. This longstanding small-town diner in Bowling Green, Ohio, has made a name for itself as a place where college students, families, and locals can come to catch up and enjoy a great meal.
Kermit's passed his test with flying colors, and I know we're in good company! Breakfast is a very popular affair at this small-town restaurant, having been voted "Best Breakfast in Wood County" two years in a row.
Breakfast aside, Kermit's is also known for their signature sandwiches, made with tandoori-style bread and presented in wrap form. Try the Vegetarian Tandoori Breakfast Sandwich; made with scrambled eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms, it will put all other "breakfast wraps" to shame!
You won't be rushed when you visit Kermit's -- even if you, like my husband and I did once upon a time, just order pancakes and endless refills of coffee.
So whether you come for all-day breakfast, a homey lunch, or a simple slice of pie, you'll be happy to discover this delightful small-town restaurant in charming Bowling Green, Ohio.
Have you dined at Kermit’s Family Restaurant before? This small-town diner in Bowling Green, Ohio, is the kind of place sure to capture your heart… and stomach!
