“The waitress was wonderful! She answered all of our questions about the food choices and was quick to bring us more drinks and extra napkins . Stopped in for lunch/dinner while in town. The restaurant was clean and the booths comfortable. (They have tables and chairs if you prefer)The food was hot, fresh and delicious ?We ordered the chicken chunks and Chicken Alfredo. Both dishes were excellent!The Chicken Alfredo had a generous amount of thick grilled white chicken strips on top of the Alfredo and noodles. It was perfect!The chunks were perfect too. They were cooked just right and juicy on the inside with just enough sauce.. I ordered mild and they were not hot at all, which is what I wanted.I ordered blue cheese for the chicken and it was the best I’ve ever eaten.I bought some to take home.All of the dressings are homemade.Bringing the family next time.Highly recommend this restaurant! ?My new favorite.“

“Always great dinner... fabulous ribs.. and tonight I got the buffalo chicken wrap... it was great. Service is always awesome...I feel bad I can't remember her name... never had a bad experience. Crowded for a Sunday night had a 10 minute wait... not hateful.“

“Just came from dinner at Bennett's. New Year's Eve, and there were 12 of us. We had 5:00 reservations, so we wanted to get home before all the partiers come out!! Our server, Lindsey A., was AMAZING!!! She was taking care of multiple tables besides ours, but was still quick to check on us frequently throughout the meal. We had 7 separate checks, without any problems, and every order was exactly right. The noise level was higher than desired, but there was a Bengals game on TV, and lots of fans cheering. Everyone is home by now, after a really fun New Year's Eve (early) celebration with friends.“

“Edit/update... We've been back several times since I posted this and the service and food have been great every time. Would totally recommend to anyone.We've always heard this was an amazing place to eat so we decided to give it a shot. We ordered the fish and chips and the nachos. The nachos were good but they were overloaded with lettuce, could've laid off the lettuce a bit. The fish was super greasy but the fries were great. The service was amazing, we told them about the fish and they compensated us by taking our appetizer off the bill. It may be a bit before we go back but I'm sure we will as they have many other items on their menu. The fish and chips just wasn't to our liking. Would recommend telling them to go light on the lettuce if you order the nachos.“

“We don't visit as often as we used to, but it would be a rare occurrence if I was disappointed with my experience at Barrel House. Great service, a good menu, and overall it's a quality establishment, and has been since I first walked in the door.“

“Recently moved to the area and went here as we're still settling into our new home. The restaurant is in a great location along 741. The environment feels like an older sports bar/family restaurant mesh, but it's not dated at all. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was friendly and attentive.We ordered drinks, appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, a pizza, and children's meals. The loaded Saratoga chips were great. They're house-made potato chips covered in cheese, bacon, and paired with ranch dressing. The burgers were cooked to temp and very tasty. The chicken sandwich was phenomenal. The grilled chicken tenders were both flavorful and juicy. The mac and cheese was great!!We had heard great things about their pizza, but were honestly skeptical about it as we haven't had great experiences with restaurants that have a full menu and make pizzas. Thankfully, we listened to the masses, as the pizza was perfectly cooked and was absolutely delicious.We'll definitely be adding this restaurant to our list of regular dining options. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough.“

“My partner and I came here for our date night. It was our first time here. First off, you walk in to this super cute and cozy little place. Right now, decorated all nice for Christmas.The food is to die for. We had the Crab Rangoon appetizer. They were so fresh and so creamy, they were addicting. The sauce for them is also sweet and flavorful and pairs so well with them. I also had an egg roll, and it was the freshest most delicious egg roll I’ve ever had. The sauce for it was very yummy and paired well with it. I had the Szechuan Chicken. It was made fresh. It was the perfect amount of spicey. It was absolutely flavorful and delicious. My partner had the Shrimp Lobster sauce entree. He said it was absolutely perfect and delicious. For dessert, we split a piece of pumpkin cheesecake that was topped with peaches and a sauce. The flavors paired so well. It’s delicious.The issue we had was with our server. We don’t know her name. She was a colored woman wearing a bandanna at the time. She seemed polite. However, she didn’t seem to care about taking care of our drink order. She put down water. She never went of soda, teas, juice, or anything. She only went over alcohol. We don’t drink. Therefore she brought our appetizers and even our entrées without bothering to get us drinks. She wasn’t good at making sure the glass of water got refilled either. My partner finally asked about nonalcoholic drinks, and she seemed offended that he asked. Finally got a soda to finish my meal with. We did ask for a virgin pina colada. Ben made it for me, and it was super delicious. I found it very kind of him to take the time to make me a virgin drink when the bar was a little busy.Getting checked out so that we could go home, was a nightmare. It was not horribly busy in there. However, there was a bigger party of people she was way more attentive to. We ended up being there for 2 hours because of her service. We couldn’t get her to bring us the check. We had to finally demand it. She gave it to us, then never came back. I do mean never. Ben was working the bar. He even ended up noticing how long we waited and he finally came over and checked us out himself. This was greatly appreciated.Ben is a very sweet man. He genuinely cares about his guests. His restaurant is amazing. I do highly recommend the place. The food is absolutely great quality. It’s worth the price for sure. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night.I’m not going to let the server experience ruin how awesome this place is. I do have to say tho, the cash tip we left on the table should’ve definitely gone to Ben instead of her.“

“My wife and I enjoyed some great food and beverages last night. Discovered a family friendly atmosphere, with private rooms, and live music, which wasn't too loud. They were busy, but had plenty of staff to take care of everyone with a smile. We'll be back and highly recommend!“

“It was super busy tonight but the service was fast and efficient. Food is good: they have great soft serve in many flavors. Their taco in a bag is yummy. They have expanded their menu with more options of icecream I believe. It's all outside though and I don't think they have bathrooms. There are community ones just a short walk away though.“

“Stopped in on St. Paddy's day, had a wild craving for some BBQ on this Beautiful day! Tried the sliced Brisket (so good! super smoked tender and didn't even need sauce but I added just a dab of the original and Spicy Sauce) and Jalapeno Cheddar Kielbasa Sausage (unique and delicious!), also had sides of fresh fried Okra and the Baked Beans. Everything was very good including service and clean dining area! Also got a "Big Yellow Cup" filled with Sweet Tea and met 1 of the owners Ric! Good man who cares about his business and guests! Definitely recommend this location! Gonna get me a Root Beet Float on the way out ?“

“Walked in and stood at the podium for a good 4 or 5 minutes while several employees walked by and said nothing. "Someone will be with you in a moment" or "we will be right with you" but no acknowledgement whatsoever. Finally got seated and it wasn't busy at all. Ordered and drinks were always empty, had to ask for refills three times and it took forever for that to happen. Each person was a 3 or 4 star apron, so I know they had to somewhat know how to wait on people but I chalk this place up to poor management. Food was good but really slow.“

“JULIAN was the bright light in my otherwise dim morning! I had never eaten at First Watch prior to today and between health issues and nearly getting run into on my way to the restaurant let’s say my morning was not off to a great start. But after being seated and meeting him he turned it completely around. His food suggestions and desire to see my experience was nothing short of amazing, was top notch! I’ve worked in this industry for many years, from my time working at the French Laundry, Bocuse and then now with the James Beard Foundation, never have I been so impressed then I was today. I wish him all the best and hope he goes so far!“

“Awesome food! Great location! Juiciest burger ever, and the fries come seasoned RIGHT! Ima spuds girl, and I liked it!!

“Classic diner vibes. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. The coffee was amazing. And the onion chips? Just get the onion chips. FYI this establishment is cash only but there is an ATM at the gas station next door.Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“Hands down best culver’s in the greater Dayton / Cincinnati area. Mistakenly forgot an item & a simple phone call to the store they were asking for my mailing address to make it right. no hassle whatsoever, 3 days later coupon in mail for the missing item. Thank you for truly being a step above the other fast food joints.“

“Small town diner vibes. There are about 8 booths and seating at the counter. My daughter got 2 chicken strips and crinkle cut french fries. Boyfriend had a cheeseburger and seasoned waffle fries. I had a BLT add mayo with potato salad. Everything is cooked to order so is served hot and delicious. The servers are friendly and give great service. Don't overlook the Koffee Kup!“

“Very nice Restaurant.The waiting staff was on top of it!We had the saw cut Ribeye. It was cooked perfectly (medium), seemed to be a Pan seer. There really wasn't any season to it. There is an option on the menu or added flavor, we chose not to add any.The Devil Eggs were great.One of my daughters had the Ribs, which were perfect as well.My other daughter had Alfredo. As with all the other food, it was Great!Definitely a must visit restaurant.This is on the upper end of pricing, so don't expect Cheap!“

“Maria, the owner, just catered a party for me. Pastitsio, Athenian Salad and the wonderful green beans. Empty plates and many compliments! The macaroni and cheese is the best I've ever eaten. Also the chili is unique in flavor and full of meat. It's an excellent lunch with a warm soft potato roll. You cannot go wrong with the owners hospitality and love of Greece. I love visiting Grecian Delight!!!Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate your needs.Parking: Large lot, parking directly in front of the door. No steps in and out so easily accessible to all who want a great meal.“

“Stopped by here on our way from NC to IL to visit family. Loved our experience here, food was very tasty. Time it took to get our food was less than 10 minutes from the time we ordered. Marissa was very friendly and attentive. My only complaint, the floor was in need of a good vacuuming. The bathrooms were clean. Overall a very positive experience!!“

“My husband and I finally made it to Heather's, I've been wanting to try it for a while and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious (I had the nay-nay sandwich !!!) We sat in the back bar (it was so quaint) my husband said he felt like he was in New England. The staff was fantastic and service was great... Heather is an amazing person who truly loves and cares... We will definitely be back (can't wait for the weather to warm up and spend time on the patio)“

“Had brunch with my daughter.Food and service was excellent ?Bill came to just over $ 50 bucks.That included breakfast entrees for 2 and my amazing Bloody Mary with pepper infused Vodka. Yummy.We sat out on the patio area.Although a little busy at that time, the food came out quicker than expected.Would definitely recommend.“

“Just passed by on my way from somewhere to somewhere else. This is not the place for a fancy dinner. BUT... the happiest people. The most funn atmosphere. And the most enjoyable place for a drink and a snack. Everyone is so nice you just want to hug everybody.“

“This place is such a great place!!! Like I’m not much of a drinker of alcohol or spirits but this place has given me hope! I know it may sound crazy but the employees here n management/owner is phenomenal!!! Really great ppl an has played a major role in helping me change my life. I really love working there n never thought I’d ever have a job I would actually like but by me having this job has given me so much hope, strength an encouragement in my life. I’m learning to not only cook, but to put my heart into my work and to be able to fulfill my purpose in my community of being of service as well.“

“Noisy but we got the backroom by the luck of the draw. Food was normal for a sports bar atmosphere. Nobody complained about the food but I can't remember what I even had a few days ago. It was not memorable but did elevate my glucose. No complaints.“

“Hands down one of the best brunches we have had. The head chef has really outdone himself with the crafting of the menu. The portions are perfect, the egg yolks were flawless, the potatoes were amazing, and I can't wait to come back and try the brunch cocktail menu.“

“The food is pretty good. It's my go-to place for chicken wings. Make sure if you get chicken wings, they're not plain because they're not well seasoned. The orange chipotle is my fav. The staff is always friendly, and the food is always done when I pick it up.“

“The new ownership has substantially improved all aspects. The menu is upgraded with far better quality and options, check out the pizza & cheese hoagie. The bar is much cleaner and better organized. Also they have fixed the staffing issues and are open day at 11.“

“I'm not sure what's going on at Longhorn Steakhouse over in Morain, but I've had half a dozen steaks in a row that were just killer. Also everybody's nice as all get out. So I'm not going to question it, I'm just going to keep going.“

“By far one of the best assets in the community the Grill at 1320 has great pizza, amazing Dr Pepper Ribs and specials that are amazing. In the middle of 27 amazing golf holes you can enjoy lunch or dinner. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is of an upscale country club.“

“Foodieez is a culinary gem that truly stands out! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with an ambiance that's both cozy and chic. The menu boasts an impressive array of dishes that cater to every palate, but what truly sets Foodieez apart are their cool drinks. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing mocktail or a creatively crafted cocktail, they have something for everyone. Each drink is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients, and the presentation is simply impeccable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to make recommendations. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Foodieez is the place to be. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their delightful concoctions!“
