Grist 46 West 5th Street, Dayton Sandwich Shop • $$

“We ordered takeaway for Thanksgiving, and everything was cooked to perfection—the lasagne, brie, and olive cake were outstanding. The flavors were exquisite, and the staff was friendly and very service-oriented. Parking downtown Dayton was easy, and we’ll definitely be back.”

Twin Peaks 2661 Fairfield Cmns, Dayton Sports Bar • $$

“45+ min wait for 3 plates. 4th plate was ordered after the first 3 were placed and came out first which indicates the 4th order was submitted by itself rather than combined with the first 3. Kitchen was not at capacity or extremely busy. Assistant Manager falsely claimed to be the Manager and was unwilling to offer any compensation for the wait. A.M stated 45min is standard wait and insinuated I was trying to get a discount on bar tab because I waited until the bill came out. A.M falsely claimed I was the only table that had complained about the wait. Waitress clearly indicated a table near me also complained and received a free appetizer as I was requesting to speak to the manager. The unwillingness to make minor compensations or take accountability is the reason another dollar will never be spent again at T.P. Waitress was tipped fairly at 20%.”

“The food was delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. The snow crab clusters were huge. Tried the special house sauce as im an original cajun mild girl, and it was bomb. Love how it all stuck to the food. My waitress (Alisha R) was great. She took time to explain the difference in sauces and constantly checked on me to make sure I was ok. She made my experience amazing, and she deserves a raise! Hands down the best seafood I've had.”

Istanbul Grill 2021 Republic Drive, Dayton Pizza • $$

“Found this little gem on the internet. The food was absolutely fantastic. We all enjoyed the food. My friend tried lamb for the first time. She was in heaven. The server was great. My only complaints were the lamb was overcooked, but still juicy, and the kids running all over the place (and the boy that was hitting his brother with a belt, not hard, but still annoying).”

AJ was very kind and provided exceptional service, which was so very appreciated after our 8 hour drive back home from visiting family. Honestly I don't know how KPOT keeps managing to go above and beyond our expectations each time we visit, but we are consistently leaving very pleased. Great job to the KPOT staff for being amazing at what they do 💜”

Tony & Pete’s 129 East 3rd Street, Dayton Sandwich Shop • $

“I got the Tony and it was excellent. The menu is limited, might want to expand sandwich choices even just using different combinations of the same meats / cheeses and toppings. Sides and salads are limited, again might want to look at expanding. The grocery concept, I get it biggest complaint of downtown residents is lack of a grocery store. There selection is limited and didnt look like they covered the basics. I would either get in or out of thar business and maybe focus on being a sandwich shop.”

Joe's Pizzeria 4313 Airway Road, Dayton Pizza • $

“Originally from Buffalo NY, found it very difficult to find a pizza that even comes close to what I was used to. I've tried many pizzas across the Miami Valley and all I can say is that most were pretty bad, and a few ok but not much more. 2 places were halfway decent but those places went downhill. I finally tried Joe's Pizza last month and have to say, the Absolute Best in Miami Valley. It was the closest to Buffalo Style Pizza I ever had in Southwest Ohio. Told their Staff the same. I will definitely be going back there despite being a little drive from where I live. I would recommend Joe's Pizza to everyone, especially if you're looking for a quality pizza!!”

Our waitress, Stasha (I apologize if I spelled her name wrong), was absolutely wonderful. She clearly knows her job very well. From the moment she came to our table, she made an instant connection with us and was incredibly kind and attentive. She even took time to talk with the kids, brought them toys, and surprised our son with birthday ice cream, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also knew a lot about the menu and the events they host on certain days and made several recommendations — and she was absolutely right about all of them. The food was incredible: flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was spot on. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great service, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend checking them out.”

“My wife ordered me a cake for my birthday. I love carrot cake, but it’s hard to find a good one. Not something that seems to be too common any longer… Long story short, this was one of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Very moist, good texture from the nuts and a little soft pop from the carrots. Simply Amazing!! ! We also tried their Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle Cookies and their Banana Nut Muffins. I’ve never been much of a fan of snickerdoodle cookies(wife loves them), but these were very good. Soft and chewy and just a good cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was amazing, slight hint of salt just to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. The muffin was moist and had a great banana nut flavor. Pretty much everything we received was extremely well baked and delicious!!!”

I was now even potentially in shock. And well it was the most welcoming experience and the people straight up loving people. It made me feel a little better after all of it. Was the best Mcdonalds ive ever had so far. The reviews arent that good but Ill never forget the warm welcome. This is the only mcdonalds that made me smile. It was mostly my ignorance and being under travelled also unaware of people culture and identity that made my heart beat being 6 hours from home. Heart warming walking into this place id do it again!

Old Scratch Pizza 812 South Patterson Boulevard, Dayton Pizza • $

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.”

Bock excels at creating a space where we gather as family, friends, soccer teams, etc with their large open room, but also there's a game room my kids love, foosball, and shuffle board.

“I stop in occasionally; But after trying a product of yours, was a positive. in fact I will be stopping in to get more of it. I'd caught what I think was the flu, though I have not been medically diagnosed. Symptoms itchy throat, low fever that progressed to high fever, body aches and pain, nausea, vomiting, headaches, cough congestion, no appetite, etc. I was just too sick to drive myself to the hospital. I'm going to the urgent care tonight to see where I'm at with this. On Friday my brother was sent to the store to get me some nutrients and medicines. He also came back with a bottle of Premixed Super Tonic; I thank God for this product that you've made Mr. Poole. Because, I feel much better. My fever has dropped, and I'm eating light, and I'm up out the bed, stirring around. My brother wasn't bothered about my flu Symptoms, and his reply , why, was. "Oh, I'm good sis, I take a dose of My Super Tonic daily; My whole family at home was sick as a dog, but, I'm good". Well, at that moment I added to my list of items to get this Super Tonic. I will come in next time and buy it myself. I drink Nestle Water, however, I'm seeing that you have a brand that's good for your health, too. I like to hear more about it when I stop in to get my Tonic. 😊💖God's continued to blessing you. Jane Cash-Marzette”

We started off with an appetizer of spinach queso, it was full of flavor and the chips were light with just the right amount of salt. The grouper special was incredible and paired well with the rice pilaf and broccoli. The crab cakes were perfectly cooked, (she asked them not to cook hard...remember she's 90) and they made it just right, and the baked potato was spot on. My turkey and dressing was good, though the turkey was sliced a bit thick for me but my husband loved it, the dressing was flavorful and not too salty which is a huge plus for me. The homemade Heath Bar and vanilla ice cream were outstanding. It was rich and creaming and tasted soooo good!”

“Love this place! It’s been here since I was a little girl although then it was called The Red Barn. The food is great and always fresh, I consider it down home cooking, I believe they take pride in cooking unlike fast food restaurants. The prices are always at a good price. I have never been disappointed. Now the only drawback is the drive thru window takes about a good 20 minutes at the fastest so prepare to wait but it’s worth it!”

Old Scratch Pizza 812 South Patterson Boulevard, Dayton Pizza • $

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.”

“We had lunch on Saturday and as usual all of our meals were delicious! Our server Karugu was fantastic!! Friendly, efficient, quick to refill our drinks with a great smile! We started off with pretzel bites, hot and delicious! Started off with cups of gumbo, perfect on a cold rainy day! Great soup loaded with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Then the 4 of us had deluxe pizza, a tuna melt, chicken quesadilla and the Italian sub. Everything was great. The pizza crust was crispy and light. Perfect!”

Joe's Pizzeria 4313 Airway Road, Dayton Pizza • $

“Originally from Buffalo NY, found it very difficult to find a pizza that even comes close to what I was used to. I've tried many pizzas across the Miami Valley and all I can say is that most were pretty bad, and a few ok but not much more. 2 places were halfway decent but those places went downhill. I finally tried Joe's Pizza last month and have to say, the Absolute Best in Miami Valley. It was the closest to Buffalo Style Pizza I ever had in Southwest Ohio. Told their Staff the same. I will definitely be going back there despite being a little drive from where I live. I would recommend Joe's Pizza to everyone, especially if you're looking for a quality pizza!!”

AJ was very kind and provided exceptional service, which was so very appreciated after our 8 hour drive back home from visiting family. Honestly I don't know how KPOT keeps managing to go above and beyond our expectations each time we visit, but we are consistently leaving very pleased. Great job to the KPOT staff for being amazing at what they do 💜”

“We went to Three Birds tonight and had one of the best meals I’ve had in a minute. The meatloaf and salmon were amazing. I’m pretty mad because their chicken wings ruined the level of good I’m accustomed to. Their dry rub chicken wing is the best I’ve ever had. If you haven’t been there. Do yourself a favor and go there tomorrow. Don’t order the chicken wings because I don’t want them to run out.”

“What can I say but you have to try this place. We ordered calamari and it was out like three minutes later!!! I had the Lady Finger Set. It takes a lot to fill me and this did just that. Rolls were nice and tight, fish was fresh and vegetables were right on! Not sure which sashimi it was but I dipped it in the calamari sauce and it was out of this world!!!! Ask for that sauce and try it. Black panther was other order and I received a thumbs up. It was also gone before I could get a photo, I guess she liked it.. seriously give this place a try. We will be back to see what the cooked menu is like. Very nice and friendly place.”

“This is such a fun coffee shop in Dayton! I had the Gimme Smore latte, and it nailed the flavor (and even had a toasted marshmallow on top). The staff were super friendly, and it’s clear how much care they put into their drinks. The avocado toast was also phenomenal - the avocado is whipped with ricotta which creates an extremely smooth texture. This place is a great place to meet friends and just hang out for a bit - lots of different seating options and it’s not overly loud. Can’t wait to go back!”

Small place but great food. The pumpkin cake is like mochi on the inside and very soft and spongy. It’s not very crunchy and had the right about of crisp to it.

The mala soup was the size of my face and wasn’t too spicy. The beef was tender and not overcooked - it was cooked just right. Noodles tasted fresh.”
