The trademark menu item here are slider style hamburgers. Having a research assistant allowed me to do extensive food research. More diners could help Make America great again. A simple place with straightforward food where regulars come to catch up with each other as well as the events of the day. Carl’s is the kind of diner that every community needs. Within moments of arrival to Carl’s the grumpy old man was also pleased. I lured along one of my research assistants, the grumpy old man, with promises of a trip to Family Donut Shoppe afterwards as well as a recon trip to McArthur Ohio. I scouted out Carl’s on various review sites and found almost universal love for the place and in particular their burgers. I enjoyed driving the streets of downtown Chillicothe looking at many 1880’s era buildings and small local shops while searching for Carl’s. I’m glad I did pay attention to Carl’s and felt the pull to make this my reason to head south. I’m not sure of the exact series of searches that popped Carl’s onto my laptop screen but it was probably related to doing a search related to Family Donut Shoppe. Considering Chillicothe was once a state capital and it is fun to say and more importantly considering all of the other places in the state I have explored on a whim, Chillicothe was overdue for an extended trip. I never really explored the city or the downtown. Back when I was a government drone my job often took me to the Chillicothe Veterans Administration Hospital (which has roots going back to World War I) but duty to fix problems and ethical responsibility did not allow me to take side trips to explore the area. My previous Chillicothe visits included: seeing Tecumseh! the outdoor drama, writing about a restaurant for Ohio Magazine in 1998, visiting two donut spots and picking up the vanity at Lowe’s (the only one in inventory for the whole state).
