| Elmton Struthers Ohio |
The Elmton restaurant and bar is located in Struthers, Ohio, and is an old favorite place to dine. When we arrived, the place was packed, no parking, even in the parking lot across the street. A sure sign that the food and price is right. We waited about 10 minutes for a table to free up. The waitress squeezed us all at a table. Very cozy indeed.

| Elmton Chicken Wings |
Our waitress came over to our table in a couple of minutes and Patty and I ordered diet Cokes and the famous Elmton wing dings as an appetizer. The wings were brought to our table in about five minutes. Not bad for crowded evening. As you can see the wings were huge, not your standard fare wing dings. Let me tell you, they were very good. The batter coating was crunchy and tasty and the chicken was surprisingly good as well.

| Elmton Pizza |
Our main course was Elmton's pizza. It took about 20-25 minutes but the wings came first which seemed to make the time go by. The pizza was brought out on a silver platter, steaming hot, just from the oven. The crust was crunchy and thick enough, not soggy. The cheese was melted completely and the sauce zesty enough. But damn, I ordered it with "No peppers" and damn, there they were, baked right in the cheese.
One of my pet peeves concerning pizza is when the pizza slices are not completely cut. For this pizza we had to use butter knives to saw through the pizza to get the slices separated. However, once we did, and then removed the peepers, the pizza was delicious.
Normally, Elmton gets the order right and the pizza is very good tasting. I will let this one incident slide but still deduct for an incorrect order. The rating would be much higher if it were correct.
