This Outback Steakhouse on Market Street is situated in plain view from Route 2, making it a perfect place for the weary traveler to grab a bite and a drink. The Outback Steakhouse chain was founded in 1988 and prides itself on bringing the atmosphere of the Australian outback to customers. The diverse menu includes ribs, chicken, steak, lamb and seafood, all with a Down Under flare. It may be best known for the popular Bloomin' Onion appetizer. Outback in Mentor also has a full bar.
One of the largest banquet and buffet centers in the area, Cathedral Buffet & Banquet Center offers fine dining in a laid back environment. The center is a tourist attraction, as patrons can enjoy a reasonably-priced buffet lunch or dinner followed by a tour of the Ernest Angley Grace Cathedral, featuring displays depicting the life of Jesus Christ and one of the world's largest, lit crosses. The facility can accommodate large parties for banquets and offers a full-menu, including a salad bar and dessert bar. It is a very unique and enjoyable experience to dine inside the center and then take the moving tour.
