Family Business Comes Full Circle

Edie Ryan is back where she got her start.

Edie Ryan’s Family Restaurant made the move this week from its 402 S. Second St. location to 585 S. Whitewoman St., a spot known for more than 50 years as Spitler’s Restaurant.

“This is where I first started waitressing in Coshocton,” Ryan said.

She opened her own restaurant Nov. 19, 1990, on Main Street, then followed with the location on Second Street.

“We’re now one of the oldest established restaurants in Coshocton,” Ryan said. “This building became available, and we’ve just outgrown Second Street. I’m very familiar with this place. It’s like coming home for me.”

Ryan attributes her restaurant’s success to home-cooked food offered at reasonable prices.

“Mom’s philosophy has always been it’s a family restaurant,” daughter and manager Tammy McCormick said. “She’s kept prices affordable so you can take your family out to eat.”
