The sell virtually everything from comics to VHS to DVD to cassettes to records. If you are looking media products from your childhood it’s here. The down side is that it’s all hacked. Mostly commons. If it’s a record someone would really want its hacked and priced live it’s in excellent condition. This could be an example of the negatives to Discogs. Discogs tells people what a good condition record is worth and sellers apply that price to hacked stuff. Overall it’s a cool place and the hot dogs are off the chain. It really appears the owners love music and comics, they are just better at the restaurant part. If you are that jazz guy who is looking for pristine 50 year old records. Skip this place. If you wants to fill in your John Denver collection, this place is for you.

A few months ago my friend and I reached out to ask if they would have a specific record in stock. They made sure to order them for us and I was able to get one. An amazing store and amazing people! :)

Just visiting here and my sister highly recommended this place. For an almost 40 year old this place brought me back to the 80's. If it weren't for limited space in the van going back home, I'd like to have picked some stuff up they sell. Additionally, the hot dogs were amazing. If you like spice, get the hell hound. Its got that good amount of kick. Also, I've never had pouting, amazing mix of cheese curds, fries and brown gravy. I'm very happy I came by.

This place is amazing. There is no doubt about that. The staff are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet, and the atmosphere is just stellar. They're a music venue, record store, and hotdog restaraunt, WOW! I've been here numerous times, and this place NEVER fails to satisfy. Amazing staff, amazing selection, amazing atmosphere, amazing food, and amazing bands. Please, do yourself a favor, and visit Ojata Records.

I picked a good day to come. Waffle Buffet was on, included hash bowns and 2 kinds of sausage. DJ was there spinning up some Ska, cartoons were playing on the TV. Lots of comics and music to browse. Couple free arcade games to play. Good number of people were there.

excellent overall experience. tasty food, cool stuff for sale good tunes on the stereo. my only gripe, is inconsistent hours of operation, which I'm told is getting worked out. If you see them open, definitely stop in and say hi, get a hot dog or a sandwich, and find that VHS copy of Howard the Duck you've been trolling eBay for.

Awesome local place! Amazing food and atmosphere. They have a huge and constantly changing menu. Great place to go if you like records. They have a large display of vinyls variating between different artists and genres.

completely disorganized record selection.store filled with smoke from burnt food.got followed to our car & accused of stealing on our way out.won't be returning - I can order my records online.EDIT: Would love to hear what exactly was so "suspicious" about the manner in which we promptly decided to exit an unpleasant & health hazardous shopping experience -- empty handed, mind you."Non-discriminating safe place for our community" go ahead and take that out ur lil fb bio tho I know u won't ;)Always down to shop local it's why we stopped by in the first place lol -- just not willing to support a sloppy shop run by a couple of hypocrites. :)

The photo shown is NOT our business and GOOGLE MAPS will take you to our OLD Location. Our Correct Address is 305 North Washington. We are located on the very corner of University and Washington. Directly across the street is Valley Dairy. We are in the old Blockbuster video store.

HELLO FROM OHIO!!! Ojata has a great selection of records, tapes, comics, VHS, and hot dogs! A great spot to play and/or see a show, with welcoming staff and locals. Add it to your map, and get there!

AMAZING. I've had both the chilli dog and "the roper" and I've never been disappointed. Don't let the scary looking store front keep you away.
