Place to Take the Grandkids
Mancy’s Ideal
5333 Monroe St | 419-841-0066 | mancys.com
Sometimes tradition can’t be beat, and this retro-inspired Mancy’s restaurant is the perfect place to give your grandkids a glimpse into Toledo’s history. Now a Toledo staple, the Mancy family first asserted themselves as a local culinary dynasty nearly 100 years ago when cousins Nikolas Graham and Gus Mancy opened their first restaurant, “The Ideal,” in 1921 in West Toledo. Now Mancy’s Steakhouse, the concept for that original Phillips Avenue restaurant has been revived on Monroe Street, in the former Revolution Grill location. Find throwbacks to the original eatery and dishes equally inspired by tradition and contemporary cuisine at the family’s fifth Toledo restaurant.
