  rreopened under new management.   Steaks,  salads, and sandwiches are delicious.  Appetizers are good and portions are generous.
  full drink menu and a nice wine and beer selection.  Highly reccomend!

  Server was sweet, but we could tell she was a novice.  Food was very "middle-America".  A bit old fashioned, but tastey.  Nothing surprising, but nothing bad.  
  
  Place shows wear; I love old architecture and retro styling, but it looks a bit warn, rather than well kept.

  Emmitt House is now closed.
  It has now reopened under new management. It is okay but the food quality is not as good as when it originally opened. Service is okay but very slow.

  ***This used to be a good steakhouse in an interesting, local atmosphere (it was also not too expensive); they switched to lower quality beef and the food really suffered; I believe it is now closed***
  
  When I was younger, my sister used to love to come here because it was actually one of the better steakhouses in rural Southern Ohio.  The Emmitt House used to be a hotel in the 1800s.  Now, it is just a restaurant.
  
  I went here over the winter, and the quality has significantly decreased.  The house salad (a little old-fashioned) was fine.  So were the mashed potatoes.  However, the steak was pretty bad.  It was a ribeye, and there was hardly any marbling in the meat.  They brought out the steak on one of those sizzling plates--the only problem was that it wasn't sizzling.
  
  I ordered my ribeye medium rare.  I cut into the steak, and it was pink (really cooked medium).  The steak was very dry (due to the small amount of fat in the steak).
  
  Most restaurants specializing steak typically serve (at minimum) Choice graded meat.  My guess is that Emmitt House used to, but went with a lower quality meat to save costs.  Too bad.
