'Historic' Ohio Eatery Named 'Oldest Restaurant' In The State

America is full of beloved restaurants that have been serving their communities for decades, and in some cases nearly as long as America has been a country. To take it even further, Ohio has a rich history, both culturally and in terms of its culinary scene, so it's no surprise that there are plenty of historic establishments that have stood the test of time.

According to a list of the "oldest" restaurants around the country compiled by LoveFood, the "most historic restaurant" in all of Ohio is the Golden Lamb in Lebanon, which was founded over two centuries ago. The Golden Lamb is located at 27 S. Broadway Street.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about this iconic Ohio institution:

"Founded in 1803, when proprietor Jonas Seaman hung an image of a lamb outside the joint (a common way of marking a business for customers who couldn't read), the Golden Lamb is almost as old as the city of Lebanon itself. The establishment has welcomed a slew of guests over the years, including a dozen presidents. The current menu features standards like burgers and salads, as well as a Historic Dining section where dishes such as Ohio fried chicken offer a delicious insight into the state's culinary past."
