HILLIARD
Starliner Diner, 5240 Cemetery Rd., 614/529-1198. With a menu that includes Pizza Cubana, Yucatan Marinated Chicken Breast and Mexican Chorizo, Starliner’s fare leans toward Hispanic and anything south of the border. But there are American folk art murals on the wall and an atmosphere where the 1960s hippie scene meets the local Chamber of Commerce at this local favorite.

LEBANON
Golden Lamb Inn, 27 S. Broadway, 513/932-5065. If you like a side of history with your meal, visit the Golden Lamb, the oldest operating restaurant in Ohio.

For your evening repast, choose from prime rib, beef tenderloin, pork chops, salmon, turkey breast and other favorites. Also serving lunch.

NELSONVILLE
Rhapsody, 18 Public Square, 740/753-5740. Hocking College’s award-winning culinary and hospitality program students, under the direction of Chef Autumn Wallace, show their stuff at this upscale restaurant located on the town square.

OBERLIN
The Feve, 30 S. Main St., 440/774-1978. A favorite gathering place for Oberlinians, The Feve serves lunch, dinner, Saturday and Sunday brunch and weekday breakfasts.
