I shy away from a lot of sit-down meals near a sports venue just for the reasons you mention.
You’re right about going to see the Mud Hens…that’s always a fun experience!

Very expensive. Off-hand, indifferent, but quite “rushed” service. I’m only glad that our trip to Fifth Third Bank Park more than offset our bad experience at the restaurant.

I keep threatening to have the chili “sundae”, too! I love those little pickle key chains they have in the gift store…I’m lucky to make it out of there with just a jar or two of product :lol:

Andrew-Packo’s really is a fun place to eat, isn’t it? It’s been years since I’ve been down to the Toledo Zoo–our last couple of trips were out to Maumee for a lighthouse festival at the state park there and to the Old West End to take photos of the beautiful Victorian houses there (fodder for a couple of posts on my own Midwest travel blog at http://www.midwestguest.com
We really got a kick out of the folks in Wisconsin who couldn’t get over the fact that the Mud Hens and Packo’s really -did- exist. They were so excited to see a Mud Hens T-shirt in the Keweenaw! I can only imagine how excited they might have been had I been wearing Tresa’s dancing pickle hat!!

Awesome place, awesome food, it’s been too long since my last visit!

I’m not sure if one caused the other, but I also happen to be a huge MASH fan.

Indulge a little that day … Apple Dumpling or Cherry Strudle. I moved away from Toledo 20+ years ago after my 4 yr gig at UofT and every time I travel back I have to get my Packo’s fix. The gift shop at Packo’s at the Park yields interesting finds ~ my dog now sports a bandana that states “where man bites dog” and my dancing pickle hat generally gets a comment or two at a weekend bbq.
