Kerby’ s Diner on Main Street in Warsaw celebrated its grand opening on March 19.

“ We are super excited for this new restaurant on Main Street offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. How exciting. We know you are not originally from Coshocton. I have heard your story and want to welcome you on behalf of the chamber of commerce,” said Amy Crown, Coshocton Chamber of Commerce executive director.

Tiffany Swigert from the Coshocton Port Authority said,“ Congratulations. Welcome to Coshocton. I had the pleasure of having breakfast here, and it is top notch.”

Owners Jodie and Jesse Kerby have been camping in the Warsaw area for 10 or 12 years.

“ We lived in Norwalk, Ohio, which is about two hours north. We bought property two years ago, and last October we saw the restaurant was for sale, decided to buy it and start this adventure in our life. Our kids Parker and Karagan are both grown, so we were ready for a change, something new. We love Warsaw, and the community is so great,” Jodie Kerby said.“ We wanted to start something, and because I love to cook and I am a waitress at heart, we opened the diner back in December with a soft opening.

“ Wednesdays and Sundays we close at 2 p. m. We serve breakfast until 2 p. m. every day, and we have specials, like all-you-caneat fish on Fridays, and we plan to run different

specials on other days,” Jodie Kerby said.

Warsaw Mayor Ed Kent said,“ We are looking forward to it because we have missed the restaurant. Welcome to the community, and I know the people are glad to see you here. I think you’ ll do us well. We can’ t wait, so bring on the food.”

Jodie Kerby thanked everyone for being so supportive of their dream.

“ We love Warsaw. We love the community, and this area is so beautiful. This was an opportunity we just couldn’ t pass up,” she said.“ Everybody has been so welcoming, and the chamber has been so helpful. I couldn’ t ask for a better staff. It’ s been exciting, and I want everybody to feel like we are a family now and feel welcome.”
