Maid-Rite Sandwich Shoppe
in Greenville, Ohio
One of the most unique eateries around, the Maid Rite lures hungry visitors from hundreds of miles away just to taste the legendary sandwich made just right in a modest shoppe located in the little rural Southwest Ohio towne of Greenville.
If any one place can reflect the city’s heart and soul, it is this miniscule eatery with a big attraction. From the looks of the outside, nobody in their right mind would want to eat there. This is because the deco of the exterior red brick is adorned with chewed bubble gum of a wide assortment of colors stuck to the walls in such density it is difficult to find a new spot to add to the “Wall of Gum,” as locals fondly refer to it. Consider it a tradition and try a Maid Rite sandwich anyway. There’s nothing like it.
Location: 125 N Broadway St. in Greenville, OH 45331
Phone: 937-548-9340
A Maid Rite sandwich can be compared to a very dry yet flavorful sloppy joe with a touch of onion, mustard and pickles.

513-932-6918
Location:
22 S. Broadway Lebanon, Ohio

Founded
1969, this unique eatery features a full menu plus ice cream so
good you will even have cravings for the cold stuff in the middle of winter. It is truly an old fashioned parlor experience complete
with early 20th Century decor. In the midst of a classic Norman Rockwell
looking town, the parlor has attracted patrons from all around, including
President George W. Bush, Neil Armstrong and Woody Harrelson. Not only that,
it has been used for scenes in major motion pictures such as Milk Money
(1993) and Harper Valley PTA (1978).
It all started in 1969 when a group of local businessmen wanted to have a meeting place. They each pitched in and bought the building and made renovations. In 1978, Phyllis Hartsock purchased the parlor and was joined by her husband Dave as co-owners. Today, their two daughters, Sandy and Susie help run it.
