What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" featured Andre's Lounge for its sandwiches and classic cocktails at a longstanding bar and eatery in downtown Toledo. The business operated from 1337 North Summit Street, a bar-and-sandwich-shop combination that drew regulars to the address for years. A Yelp listing for Andre's Lounge, last updated in June 2025, carries a closed designation for the business, though no news report or official record describes the closure, and no announcement from the owners about closing, relocating, or changing hands could be found. Other directories, including Toledo.com, RestaurantGuru, and the Chamber of Commerce, continue to list Andre's Lounge at the Summit Street address without noting a closure. In a September 2026 check, Google's listing for Andre's Lounge in Toledo was also marked permanently closed.
