- DDennis AND MarciaVIPToledo / Northwest Ohio •52 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 21, 2024We have two favorite places in Defiance, Ohio to eat and this is one of them. If you are from out of town, it is worth a trip to visit and eat at Dark Horse Social Club. The staff and owners are so nice. The menu is changed several times a year, so there is always something different to try.More infoThe Dark Horse Social ClubPrice: Moderate• American• Defiance•4.8
