If you plan to eat lunch at Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant on a Saturday in Berlin, Ohio, you should probably plan on a little bit of a wait. It's a very popular eating place. With good reason.
The lovely Robin and I didn't plan ahead. And we only had a little bit of time, so we grabbed the first available table and sat down before the young woman could finish bussing the thing. Bad form, I know, but when my belly is involved, things are serious.
The restaurant began in 1938 as a grocery store, known as Hummel's Market. Seven years later, the Hummels sold it to Herman Wurthmann and Dale Boyd, and the name soon changed to Boyd and Wurthmann. In the 1940s, Boyd and Wurthmann put in a counter and began serving sandwiches as well as groceries. The original, green counter (pictured above, with seating for 9) is still a favorite of the locals. In the 1950s, the demand for restaurant services increased, so they separated the market from the restaurant and began to serve breakfast and lunch. By the 1980s, the place became a favorite of tourists, and the seating was expanded. Today, in addition to the counter, the restaurant has 23 tables and 5 booths. It has been owned by the Dennis Mullet Family since 2004.
The lovely Robin was delighted to discover that noodles over mashed potatoes--about her favorite dish in the world--was a "lite meal" (see menu above). She needed no other persuading. Don't let the photo below fool you: those noodles and taters are virtually fat- and calorie-free.
I took a different approach, and ordered the "cold plate" of fresh bologna and swiss cheese, cottage cheese and peaches, and fruit Jell-O. Go ahead and laugh (it's pretty far from my usual fare, I admit); I LOVED it.
