Taylor's in Galion Is Closing: The End of an Era

I've been putting off writing about Taylor's closing because it kind of feels like part of my history is passing with the closing of its doors. But, I've been following a thread on Facebook that says this iconic Galion restaurant will be gone before the end of the month - that new owners have bought the building and Taylor's has to be out before the first. So, I want to share this now, so anyone who doesn't already know has one last chance to go grab their favorite food from Taylor's.

Taylor's in Galion


Galion has a lot of wonderful places to eat, but none, for me, are packed with the happy memories of stopping at Taylor's for a chilly, sweet treat.

It never mattered if it was hotter than blazes and sunny outside or the middle of a frigid, icy winter evening.

If Taylor's was open, it was warm and sunny inside.

It was just a place that made you feel good, and it will be missed by so many Galion residents.

My Favorite Memory of Taylor's


It's hard for me to pick a favorite memory of Taylor's.

So many happy moments in my life include a stop for ice cream at this Galion venue.

I can't say I've ever had a bad experience or meal at this restaurant, (best chef's salad I've ever had anywhere) and I'll always have fond memories of the banana sundaes they served back in the 1970's.

(Am I the only one who remembers those? I was so bummed when that was removed from the menu - they made the banana topping themselves and when topped off with salty pecans, it was pretty much unbeatable!) 

Even more than the food, though, my favorite thing about Taylor's has been the owner.

Even when he's busy, he stops to chat and greet his customers - real conversations, too, where you feel you've been heard and walk away smiling after a chat with a good friend - and that's a pretty special thing in a world where everyone is rushing and putting tasks above human interaction.

So, enjoy your retirement Mr. Taylor, and I'll be anxiously watching to see what comes in to take the place of Taylor's after February.

(Whatever's coming to the Taylor's location sure has some big shoes to fill...)

So, what are your favorite memories of Taylor's in Galion?

  1. We were so shocked to hear from a friend that you have closed. We lived there for 36 years and we just loved your food. We have moved to Tenn. and always stop when we was in Galion. We will sure miss you. Is there anyway we can find out why you decided to close. I'm sure one is to retire. But a big thank you for serving us. Lowell and Marie Keiser
