Top Ten Mason, Ohio Restaurants (IMO)
I love living in Mason, Ohio. In 2013, Mason was ranked number seven on Money Magazine's list of the best places to live. I feel like we have the best of both worlds. We can enjoy a small town feel while having easy access to some of the best attractions in the area (Kings Island, The Beach Waterpark, Great Wolf Lodge, EnterTRAINment Junction to name a few).
While some of those attractions get top billing, we also have some amazing restaurants close to home. I thought it might be nice to list some of my favorites so that visitors might have a little easier time deciding on a good place to eat. Of course, these are all solely based on my own opinion. So, if you see the IMO designation, you'll know the polling base was a tad on the small side.
