Pull off the trail.
Order the brisket.

Logan and the surrounding villages punch well above their weight: a four-in-one winery-brewery-distillery-restaurant, smokehouse barbecue running 17 hours, coffee roasted in town, and a fine-dining log cabin most people never hear about.

The two big nights.

Make a reservation. Both of these book up on weekends and they're the kind of meals you remember the whole drive home.

Kindred Spirits

Casual fine-dining inside an 1840s log cabin at the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls. Seasonal menu, locally sourced, and an Ohio-leaning wine list. The kind of place you walk out of saying "we should come back tomorrow."

Warmly-lit restaurant interior with set tables and hanging greenery.
American $$$ Logan, OH

58 West

A full restaurant, winery, brewery, and distillery in one historic Logan building. Casual but elevated — steaks, burgers, and house spirits flights. The most ambitious project in town and worth every star.

BBQ & Comfort

Smoked low, served generous.

Plate of smoked ribs and brisket
BBQ $$ Smoked on-site

Millstone BBQ

All meats smoked on-site for 15–17 hours. Brisket is the headliner; the ribs fall off without asking; the burnt ends sell out by 7pm on weekends. The kind of barbecue that makes Texans nod respectfully.

Smash burger and fries
American $$ Logan, OH

TheFeed

Casual American just outside the park gates. Everything made from scratch — sandwiches, wings, smash burgers. The kind of post-hike dinner that makes you feel like you earned it.
