Fostoria, Ohio is a True American City 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Fostoria, Ohio is truly the last of its kind. I love living in Fostoria not only because of the warm and welcoming community, but also because of the traditional family values and true Americana lifestyle that are celebrated here. I am never afraid to let my kids play outside or ...Read More run around town. Fostoria is a tremendous place to raise a family and to relax after a hard day's work. Fostoria, Ohio feels like a piece of history that is slowing fading away.
One of the best places in Fostoria is Fostoria Dell's. This little diner is truly a diamond in the rough. It serves up quality down-home style food at great prices. The serving sizes are generous and there are a lot of options. I recommend trying the barbecue.
While Fostoria does not boast a great nightlife or social scene, I find that the community and lifestyle really make up for that fact. It is a safe and clean place to raise kids and to settle down. Read Less
