Muddy's A local neighborhood hangout and place to get your grub on. Dennis and Paula Tafoya purchased Muddy Waters from the original owners in 2005. Muddy's

Muddy's began as Muddy Waters Cafe in the lower level of Liberty Street Commons in Downtown Wooster over 15 years ago. They immediately began to open stores in the surrounding areas such as Orrville and Medina. They managed partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic and the JM Smucker Company as well. Within 2 years they operated 7 locations and it was at this point, Paula reminded Dennis that they got into business to be together, so they decided to downsize and focus solely on the downtown Wooster store. In 2010 they opened Muddy's Waters Bar and Grille with the first State of Ohio Entertainment District Liquor License issued and began the next chapter. They spent 5 years in the old Brenner Brothers store on the Square and realized more space was in order so they looked East, the direction they both hailed from originally. In 2015 they opened Muddy's in the old Art Bucher Cadillac Dealership, one of the last car dealerships to operate in a downtown, anywhere in America. This spot finally seemed right and from there the rest will be written. Come scribe your own part in our history.

Well it seems the “The Cat is outta of the bag”….it’s been over 22 years we have served you food & drink, old enuff to drink itself.

It’s with a heavy but full heart we say, we are done with this journey as of November 8. Until then we’ll be serving your favorites and offering deals until the last call. We have to say Thank because without 🫵🏼 our customers, we would never have been..

Y’all have been there since day one, at multiple locations across Wayne County and all of you have made this the best ride ever. We could never have made it this long without you. Thank you, all of you. From the OG downstairs to the Cadillac dealership we are in now it’s been a great journey but like all journeys, they must come to an end.

We would like to say, however, that there is a New Operator coming to the space but we’ll let them share their news. We do look forward to seeing you all on the “other side” of the bar this spring.

Lastly and most importantly, We would also like to give a big shout out to some of the best crew members we were fortunate to work with. Sharing this news with y’all was the hardest part.

Thank you from the bottom of our Muddys

PS:: we have seasoned staff ready to work

We will be closed Sunday and Monday for Labor Day!  We will re-open at 7am Wednesday morning!
