“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%.”
“Always a pleasure

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere, friendly staff”
“Sueño is now easily our favorite Mexican restaurant in Dayton. The atmosphere is vibrant, with great energy and stylish decor. The service is impeccable, complete with complimentary valet parking! Their cocktails are a highlight, especially 'The Guy,' and the food is out of this world. We tried the chips and salsa, (Salsa del Día), Tacos de Cochinita, and the smoked chicken enchiladas — all were absolutely delicious. The smoked chicken enchiladas were so good that we had to order a second serving. I could eat their chips and salsa every day; the salsa, possibly a fermented pineapple and jalapeño blend, is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. If you're looking for upscale Mexican cuisine, Sueño will not disappoint!”
“I don’t review on here unless something is great or terrible, and Lily’s is firmly in the first category. I’ve visited since they opened and felt it was a great brunch spot, but the menu was a bit static for date night dinner. I’m happy to say, they’ve knocked it out of the park with their new menu and Tiki Bar theme.
Cocktails were well-crafted and deserving of the price point, food was excellent and the portions were incredible! Best of all was the service. I’ve always enjoyed the waitstaff at Lily’s, but the team they have now truly love their jobs and their customers, and it shows! They collectively serve the customers as a team and work very cohesively. The result was prompt service and getting to interact with multiple wonderful humans. 10/10 will be back again soon!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I was raised in Texas and on an Oklahoma pig farm my entire life. Some of the best Babyback ribs you will ever eat come from Pig of the Month. Perfectly cooked and packed to your door. Awesome! Tender. Meaty and great Small Batch flavors. Every time perfect”
“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).”

“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.”
“We had dinner I had the pulled pork sandwich, my nice had the brisket sandwich. Our sides where Cole slaw, potato salad and green beans. Everything was amazing good. The employees where friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Dayton area.”

“We had a wonderful dinner with our adult children! Appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all excellent. The staff were friendly and the restaurant clean. They graciously suggested menu items and described them to a bunch of Cajuns. The rice pudding was so good! Thank you, Cafe Terra staff, for the delightful meal and for making us feel like valued friends.”
“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.”
“Steak Thyme is a hidden gem! I've known the family who owns this place for years and I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner. While they're famous for their cheesesteaks, they offer so much more. It's a fantastic sports bar with incredible food and service. We had a Bavarian pretzel that was the size of my head with two amazing dipping sauces, and we also tried fried banana peppers for the first time. They were incredible! Our server, Taner, was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. She made great recommendations, including the addictive banana peppers we funneled! I even had a chance to chat with one of the owners, Jake. Turns out I know his older sister! (Another incredible human being) It's a family-owned business with a great atmosphere and even better food. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.”
“Finally got to try out the Grist and we weren’t disappointed. To be honest, the food was just good, maybe not great, but the servers and the aesthetic of the restaurant were really great. We were surprised to still have a 10 mins wait for a table at 1pm on a Thursday but good for them! We’ll be back.”
“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!!”
“5 Stars is not enough. Hubby and I stopped in for our first visit and he grew up Italian ~ homemade everything. Sub was filled with meats, mozzarella sticks were perfect and the pizza was awesome. The dough is fabulous, so much taste. Husband felt like he was back home. Cannoli was so tasty. We will definitely be back. Great food, priced fairly and the owners service exceeded our expectations! Thank you for a great meal!!!”
“Great experience here. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. We don't go to Dayton very often but Salar gives us another reason to go more often.”
“I had a very large party (17) there tonight and the staff was SO accommodating! We had a couple hiccups with our party (not any fault of DP - it was us) and the staff was wonderful and took care of what we needed without question or hesitation. They were efficient and quick with every part of the service. Food was wonderful as always, too!”

“Excellent service and very helpful in understanding menu and how to order. The mango and sweet potato rolls where excellent tasting and the lo mein beef noodle with mixed vegetable very tender and filling. I would say enough for two, reasonable prices spent $31 plus$5 tip in jar appreciate the help navigating something new to eat for dinner. Restaurant was very cIean and aesthetically pleasing, 😊I think I will dine in next time. Opens at 4:30 in evening. I like that the elders are part of staff dress very elegant in traditional style Thia fashion. AAA rated restaurant very clean comfortable chairs a plus for Dayton Ohio.”

“Food was good for what we got, I was a bit disappointed that their online menu didn't match their actual menu. I ended up getting the bourbon something salad, and it was $20. The salad was really good! I just wish it came with more than 4 pieces of shrimp for the price. Service was fine, nothing outstanding or bad. It wasn't very busy so it was pretty quiet. I would probably go back. Also their water cups are weirdly short? just thought I'd throw that out there haha”
“Second evening in a row we've DoorDashed your amazing food after working a 72 hour week. What a wonderful treat! My hubby is half Lebanese so I know how it's supposed to taste. I can't tell you enough how good the food is. My now go to place for comfort food. Made my daughter's 30th birthday a nice night. Thank you so much. Recommending to everyone. Keep up the fantastic work.”
“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!”

“Recently made a bad review but I deleted and just felt terrible for acting like a terrible person, NO ONE deserves that kind of attitude that I gave so I just wanted to say sorry And if you night shift people are reading this then I got to say I've been going through a lot and pretty much lost everything and have not been in in a good mood by any means while that's no excuse Hopefully you can forgive me And there's no hard feelings if you spit in my burger... Probably deserve it.... Have a good one ♥️
The food is 👍”
“UPDATE: it all depends on the team / manager, these guys offered a free large drink upgrade for the uber customer I was delivering to as she didn’t find the option to get a large drink on the app and they made the customer happy, which I really appreciate.
Old review: Unfortunately, the worst McDonald’s I’ve ever dealt with. I was doing an Uber eats delivery and asked for a cup of water which you can always get from all other fast food restaurants for free (Even other McDonald’s) but the employee refused saying the lobby is closed. Are you serious? Am I going to sit and drink it while doing a delivery? I asked him again and he just refused. Go to Taco bell, Burger King, any other major restaurant (even other McDonald’s branches) and you can get water for free. I would NEVER come here as a customer.”
“Makayla and the other taker with the blue braids was handling the Drive thru great. Last night about 11:50 almost 12 midnight. Harshman is always doing something around that time and your store was a line around the building. It would be nice if harshman said something to there customer's. I was one of your Manager's at the S. Dixie location back at the end of 2016. Medical reasons made me have to stop working. I just wanted to say that these two ladies was doing a fantastic job for you restaurant. The Manager is a white gentleman with blonde hair. Doing everything he can while they was getting there butt whooped with 3 employees plus him. I did not ask the black lady with the blue braids her name but I did get Makayla's. Not sure if I'm spelling it like she does but, I spelled it like it sounds. My name is Rebecca Kendrick perfect job team.”
“The 5 stars goes to Omar i believe he said his name was. I ordered online and didn't receive some of my items. This worker went over and above to make it right and uphold the best customer service I've seen from pretty much any mcdonalds. He even threw in an extra pie for the trouble. You are the model that employees should base their performance off of. Keep it up???”
“I can’t believe I’m writing a review for a McDonald’s, but this location has it going on!!! Super clean, updated interior. Bathrooms were spotless and spelled so fresh and so clean! The staff was friendly, quick, and I felt like the customers were all coming to their local watering hole for some Saturday-morning community. Wish this were my local McDonald’s… Well done, staff and crew!”
“ordered on door dash food was good. it made me want to go there. the staff was great as was the service, and the food was even better there piping hot . I will be back for more.”
“We had a baby shower at The Amber Rose today. The food was excellent, the service fantastic. They were very accommodating to our needs. So many compliments on the facility, and the food It was a great experience, and Joe and his staff did an excellent job”

“How is it that this place is less than 10 minutes from me and I’d never been there until today? All I can say about the pretzels is they are AMAZING. The lady handed me my bag of pretzels and they were nice and warm. I couldn’t wait until I got home to eat one, so I ate it one in the car. My first time here but definitely not my last. Your pretzels rock!”
“My favorite family friendly place. 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. And that's not even getting to the food and drinks. My favorite snacks include the German nachos, reuben dip, and pretzels. The drinks are always on point- fresh and delicious. we always love the lemon blueberry with with a slice of lemon and the Negligent IPA. They are staffed by some of the greatest people. A family favorite for sure.”

“I have been wanting to try a carrot hotdog ever since it made it debut on social media! I am so thankful for the skillful young men at invoke for taking the time to perfect the craft of the smoked carrot hotdog! IT IS ABSOLUTELY DIVINE 😍💗💗 😍... I bought one, sat down and ate it... Then got right back in line to get one to go! 😋😋😋😋”
“The coffee Pettibone serves is outstanding: true 3rd wave with amazing profiles, not the burned-n-bitter-made-for-milk beans so many roasters generate! Try their pourovers and taste the difference. The food here is really first class too, and priced fairly for non mass-produced creations. Many choices too. Avoid crowds and come early or after peak times.”
“My friend lives off 3rd Street and said she had fabulous food here. When I pulled up I wasn't sure what I was walking into but have been there almost every week since my first time a few months ago. Great food, really good service and you get your food quick! And did I mention the prices! Wow so well priced. Great quesadillas, great burritos and out of this world salsa. Try them, you will not be sorry. In case you didn't realize, I highly recommend this amazing little family run restaurant.”
“My son and I visited this tea shop while in town for the week. We ordered a watermelon green tea with strawberry popping bubbles and a Hokkaido milk tea with brown sugar pearls. Both were delightful and we agreed it was more delicious than our local place in NEO. Friendly service, reasonable pricing, & a clean & fun atmosphere added to our experience!”
“Absolutely amazing place to go and the owners and workers are the kindest and nicest people ever! If you haven’t ever been or haven’t ever had Indian food in general, they are so informative and will guide you to something you’d like! I cannot recommend this place enough!”
“Amazing people providing amazing service with amazing food; especially the POTATOES! Just an amazing place that makes dining a pleasure. The potato guy.”

“Had an amazing experience here! Great food, and amazing service! My two year old played claw machine and kept loosing, he was very upset. The nice staff opened it and made him believe he was playing and gave him a toy! They also gave one to my other son! Very sweet, and went out of their way to make his night! Food was great, and service was really fast! Very high quality building!”
“came here on a hunch for lunch. everyone wanted pizza and I saw the reviews for this place. we waited about 10minutes from seating ourselves for service and there was one other table in the restaurant (this was about 2pm so kinda expected). then we were told we would have to wait 30minutes for the dough to be ready. you'd think that would not equate to a good experience. areas to improve on? sure. but didn't break the deal the service was attentive and kind when she arrived. the owner came out and said hello and told us about the place. they recommended apps and to take a tour outside and welcome ourselves to the games. my family passed the time with some free connect four, giant jenga, and some waffle ball. next thing you know the apps arrived. then back to the games for a little til the pizza came. the food: PHENOMENAL. The meatballs were so tender and well seasoned with a great meat blend. the pizza was delicious. great dough, fresh ingredients, and the sauce was wonderful. the drinks: Yellow Springs brewery beer was available and delicious. my daughter had the lemonade which she was over the moon about. all this to say this will be back for certain as our regular pizza joint. if you do come across a wait, be patient. it would normally irritate me but with so much to pass the time it was nothing. the food was worth the wait. I recommend coming during off hours like we did. then you can have the patio to yourself ;)”
“This deli is a hidden Gem!!! My husband and I love going there to eat!!! The service is awesome and the food is fresh and delicious!!! I absolutely recommend stopping in for some yummy food and if you drink wine they have a large selection!!! I hope you keep them on your list of places to get some yummy food!!!”
“Visited tonight after the recent move... Gulzar's continually knocks it out of the park, time and time again. The new location is absolutely stunning. The staff is always friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is ALWAYS exceptionally good. If you've never tried Indian, the biggest they offer is very reasonably priced and offers a WIDE selection of items to help hone in on your preferences.”
“Good food, good amount, and a good price. I did The Hibachi experience so I got to sit at the grill, the hibachi Chef came out and put on the whole show for entertainment and cook our food right there in front of us. This is the main reason why you come to Hibachi or Japanese Steakhouse is for the entertainment and show but the food being good is a major Plus. So if you ever in the area or you live in this town stop in and have some great food and a show.”
“The best seafood I have ever eaten. It is fresh, delicious and is my all time favorite place to go.”
“P.F. Changs is my go to after thrift shopping in Centerville! I start off with lettuce wraps, which are just divine! My main meal was sesame chicken and is one of my favorites! A visit to PF Changs must include The Great Wall of Chocolate Cake!!!! The atmosphere is wonderful! Our server, Chris Howard, was very knowledgeable and met our needs before we had to ask! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!”
“Always like marion's we get there steak sub and there big cheese pizza. The subs where a little sloppy this time but still good and the pizza was a little undone always order well done when ordering the big cheese pizza”
“BEST Steak, (any cut) liver and onions are super good!! Stewed tomatoes 🍅 best I’ve ever had.. keep up the wonderful job!!!- one of our FAVORITE restaurants… raw oysters are tasty as well..:”
“We went as part of the Dayton ale trail and I'm glad we did. We got some appetizers and several beers between ourselves. The food was really, particularly good. The soft pretzel was honestly the best soft pretzel I've ever had. My girlfriend and I compare all soft pretzels to this places soft pretzel. The beer was great, our server was cool and the location reminds me of a small town pub from the UK.”
“Amazing food and service! Sky Asian is our favorite Asian restaurant in the Dayton area!”
“Tender Mercy has taken EXCELLENT care of us the last two weekends as we entertain family from out of town. Last night Dozo (the sushi restaurant inside) was just amazing. Every one in our party of five was blown away by each course. Sake and cocktails were equally delectable and service as always was above amd beyond.”
“The wattress was amazing. The wine , food, atmosphere is exceptional. A party of 8 and everyone was extremely happy. Will visit again.”
“This was my 1st time here and I already am planning my next visit! I loved our waitress Jamie! She was amazing! 5 stars meal! We got the Mo special and it was DELICIOUS! 🤤 so happy to support a local restaurant!”
“The food is always served, so good. And everyone there is extremely friendly with outstanding service. �����”
“This is a fun and sociable place. The beer is outstanding and the people are even better.”
“Fantastic place and we've been going there for 25+ years! Always such a great experience and look forward to going again very soon.”
“I haven't been here but I watched the ramen challenge there on Molly Schuylers page and I hope y'all changed your rule about not being able to put ice in it to cool it down or letting them wait a couple minutes to let it cool even because that could be very dangerous to someone's body and could potentially mean trouble for your restaurant so I hope you modified your rules to make it safer during challenges. Food looks amazing though!!”
“My sister took me out for my birthday. The drinks were nice and our food was quite tasty, and the staff was warm and welcoming. I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and my sister had a pizza. A Djay was spinning tunes, then open mic later. Had a great time, I will be back.”
“Visited Vallarta for the first time today! Was amazing food and our waitress was amazing! Brought me a shot on the house !!! Very clean quiet patio! Will definitely go again! Thank you!!!”
“Simply the Best! Food, service and atmosphere is always top notch.”
“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”
“I'll go back. The staff was pleasant and properly attentive. Food was ok. Drink prices standard. Quiet enough that our group of 3 could talk and be heard without difficulty.”
“Manna is definitely a must! Great staff to take care of you, and it’s a beautiful restaurant. Great espresso martinis and the chicken salad croissant is wonderful. The brunch buffet is a MUST.”
“Just two weeks ago, I wrote a glowing review for The Chop House, and here I am again—because they’re just that good! When I asked my wife what she was hungry for, she immediately said, "The Chop House," and once again, they did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the prime rib with burgundy mushrooms, served with real horseradish that reminded me of how my mom used to make it—simply perfection. The rice pilaf and Caesar salad were spot-on, with the salad served at just the right temperature. For dessert, we indulged in the Hershey chocolate cake with homemade ice cream and caramel syrup. Every bite was heavenly. Our waitress Brittany, was both professional and charming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The service, food, and atmosphere were all top-notch, just as we’ve come to expect from The Chop House. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy an exceptional meal, this is it. I’ll be adding some photos to this review because words alone don’t do it justice. Highly recommend!”
“The best meal I have had in a long time. This is my new favorite restaurant.”
“Beer 🍺 is great and delicious and smoked wings were bombs as well. The venue is just perfect and so awesome 😎🤩!!!”
“Mamacitas Cantina has quickly become my go-to spot for a fun evening with delicious, authentic Latin food! Love the vibrant decor and lively atmosphere! Made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation! The bar and food menu prices are reasonable and the cocktails are out of this world! Easily the best margarita that I've ever had and the pina colada was like a sip of paradise! The steak was the most tender that I've ever had in my life! Perfectly cooked and exquisite! My husband had the tacos and he loved them - we will definitely be back for their Taco Tuesday! I also heard that they have a dancing robot on Fridays...WHHHAAATT?! We have to see that! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening when they had karaoke, and it was a blast! We had so much fun! If you're in the Dayton/Kettering area and craving a taste of Latin America paired with a lively atmosphere, do yourself a favor and visit Mamacitas Cantina!”
“Just attended the soft open. The decor is soft and comfortable with a slight upscaled feeling. Booth, Chair and bar seating is available as well as patio. We had the soft pretzel as a starter and it was huge, hot and accompanied with a delicious beer cheese. Entrees were the Toddy Coddy, Shrimp and Grits and the kids portion chicken tenders. We didn’t leave much on the plates and my 11 year doesn’t clear his plate much. I enjoyed the portions of cod and the dill tartar sauce was a nice touch. The Shrimp and Grits were tasty with a good kick. Menu is what we referred to Cajun meets MidWest.”
“South Park Tavern has been such an amazing place to go eat and enjoy local music. Everyone involved in the tavern does an amazing job from Dana, Jennifer, Grant and Ryan they all hold down the fort and serve the most delicious food we can ask for in Dayton. 10 stars all around!”
“2nd time visiting...didn't realize they had live music some days - super bonus!
Great chicken wings...atmosphere was perfect for a low key evening.”
“These guys are making great beers - don’t underestimate them for their small size. Lots of TV’s to watch whatever game you want to watch. Normally no food (unless they have a special event) but feel free to order from one of the number local restaurants in the area.
But the best part is of this small business is the top rate service, friendly atmosphere and interesting clientele you almost always find at the bar!”
“EVERYTHING is excellent…food, atmosphere, service…a throughly enjoyable experience!”
“By far the best spicy food experience my husband and I have ever had!! We didn’t know what or how to order, but the suggestions provided were inspired. We loved that we could see the ingredients for sale in the shop. We learned about food and had a great meal. Can’t stop thinking about that jollof rice. Looking forward to the next order.”
“Choice Juice Boxx provided their Ginger Lemonade as the signature drink for the GOD's Girls event hosted at our venue, The Backhouse. It was so refreshing and delicious! The Owner, Donna, was so kind and professional. The way Donna presented their product makes us want to know more about their offerings. We will definately call on Choice Juice Boxx for future events where juice will be served.”
“Enjoyed hanging with friends playing bingo and laughing. Wings were awesome”
“I love the pizza here and it’s really good and the people are nice that work there at the pizza place. My favorite movie is the godfather so when I go here it makes me think of the godfather “So you come to me on the day of my daughters wedding for the favor” from the godfather just like the pizza place. I got a pizza here the other day and then o went to Home Depot and bought some screws so I could put my license plate on my car. It was really cool because I got pizza and then Home Depot was right there so I could just walk over. They have a really good bathroom at the godfathers pizza too because it was really clean. It reminded me of the scene where Michael Corleone goes to the bathroom in the godfather. Overall I really like godfathers pizza and I love the movie the godfather.”
“Great place to eat!!!! Waitress was amazing, food was awesome!”
“You place your order at the counter and the sandwiches come with a small side. They serve what has to be the best Reuben Sandwich in town. It was full of meat and kraut but not sloppy. My side was potato salad and it was good but a little small.”
“This was truly the highlight of my week! The owners were so kind and everyone at the brewery loved them. Loved my chicken and waffle so much and can't wait to have them again.”
“Had a good time we have went 3 times. Had great food friendly employees. Planned on more trips there
Kid-friendliness: Nice
Wheelchair accessibility: Was helping who ever needed it. Last time we went was in August toward the end.2024”
“Great flavors! Ordered online and received a package very quick! 10 out of 10!”
“Had my first atole (?) corn drink at the hot chocolate fest!! It was delicious!! Had the chicken gyro platter and it was fantastic!!! It was legit comfort food!! Can’t wait to try more!”
“The falconer was very welcoming and even let me hold his Peregrine falcon. He then showed us a demo of the falcon hunting a rabbit. Did you know that they can fly up to speeds of 200 mph.”
“My fiancé and I went on Saturday night and IT WAS AMAZING! I’ve never been to this restaurant before and I will be coming back! The food was fresh and delicious! The staff was super friendly and professional. The restaurant was clean as well, we loved the paintings on the walls and the atmosphere was awesome!”
“Backyard Smoke & Grill was a gem as food trucks go. The food was a wonderful experience. Chicken and waffle topped with bacon and green onion was delicious and plentiful. The price was just right. The service was great. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.”
“I rarely have any problems. They always get my order right and if they do mess up, it's not a big deal because they are always on top of making sure orders are correct most of the time. EL Toro is my go-to Mexican restaurant.”
“Best steakhouse in the Dayton Area. Everything was great! The Cajun Ribeye was perfect, the Shrimp Cocktail was as great and their Orange Creamcicle Martini was excellent”
“BG, in catering, was very pleasant to talk with, knowledgeable of her menu and helpful when ordering. I ordered the hamburger/potato buffets for my wife's cookout birthday party. BG had all the "fixings" for my guest to a augment their burger and potato. The food was hot when I picked it up; my guests really liked the food. She even included a birthday card for my wife signed by each of the staff. Based on this first take-out order from the Longhorn for me, I would gladly recommend. Thanks BD and staff.”
“I stopped for lunch and ordered the All American Cheeseburger ($18). I got a good-sized burger with all the fixings and a generous portion of shoestring fries. Delicious! A small (8 oz.) beer was $8.Elija W. was very attentive.”
“The owner is kind and very quick with service fountain drinks are fresh. Pricing is appropriate compared to competitors and market value. Fresh vegetable and crisp egg roll, chicken is not like mystery meat from other restaurant.”
“They have great hospitality at this location. The people are always so sweet especially the Manger. She really take care of her people. The food is always fresh. I'm ready to go now ?”
“Good experience! The restaurant overall was short staffed and was on a short wait however the service (Mason) provided made the experience even better. He did a great job and was very attentive.”
“Great place I recommend eating here! great service the food was some of the best!”
“Went for my birthday. Seafood boil was delicious and great portions. Hush puppies were also amazing. Will be backs”
“I am not a local to Dayton so, I haven’t tried super Subbys. Decided to drive through a location with a drive thru. The woman taking the order was very friendly & patient with me. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich & a side salad. The sandwich was delicious, loved the mayonnaise. Side salad was also pretty large & tasted fresh. Prices comparable to chain sub places. #supportlocal.”
“The staff is always amazing, efficient, and friendly. You have to try the white chicken chili! They have a wide range of food and beverages on the menu. They have great lunch specials Monday thru Ftiday, and great deals. Stop in today!”
“The Turin trio was awesome. Huge portions, free soar dough bread(2) with butter spread. Good prices for what you get. Cool interior with an actual trolley car inside. Very nice staff also. Highly recommend this place.”
“We visited the RL on Miller Lane in Dayton, Ohio. The service was exceptional. Our server was Cree. Her professionalism was phenomenal. I highly recommend.”
“Great update at Asian Buffet!
They’re now serving ICE CREAM, along with a wide variety of salads, fresh fruits,cakes and more. The selection has really improved — perfect if you’re looking for something refreshing and delicious. Definitely worth checking out!”
“Today's visit was my first in YEARS, and my friend hadn't been to one since his neighborhood restaurant closed permanently. We arrived at 2 pm and there was NOBODY inside.. well, there were maybe 4-6 guests, but none came in afterward! It was very lean in guests and very quiet, which had us wondering if we'd just missed the lunch crowd or was it always this way on Mondays 🤔. Anyway, our server was pleasant, barely allowing our bottoms to touch the seat before she wanted our drink orders...can we settle in and look at the menu first? Though we saw the signs advertising $8.99 burgers all day on Monday, she didn't try to sell us on it, actually didn't even mention it to us, or mention that we were still within the lunch time menu offerings. The mozzarella cheese sticks were really good and our burgers were too, we only wished they gave an option for adding an egg to the top of our sandwiches! When the receipt came, we noticed that they do charge $.50 for an extra cup of marinara sauce-there were 2 of us sharing 8 cheese sticks. You'd think just one extra cup would be standard, without cost and they charge $2.99 for adding mushrooms to the burger?? Overall, we enjoyed our meal and each other's company, so there's not much to really complain about.”

“Had heard great things about the Vegan options that Flavors offered and boy was I not disappointed. The man at the counter went over the menu in detail pointing out the vegan options. I got the Hummus bake and it was delicious. The chips, salsa and garlic sauce was outstanding. I will be back. Great food, great service at a very reasonable price and made to order VEGAN style.”
“I can not say enough good things, this bakery is our go to for all occasions! They did a beautiful job on our wedding cake and grooms cake. Made my daughter an amazing buckeye birthday cake. Even saved the day when I forgot to order our anniversary replica topper in a timely manner and got it done for me in a couple days for our actual 1st anniversary! On top of all that everything we’ve ever tried from them is absolutely beautiful and delicious!”
“We are thankful that Narco Burger had that little mishap with the signage on the abandon cleaners building across the street, If not for that we would have never known much about them. Shortly after that episode, we called and ordered lunch, OMG...they were really really good. I'm not a hamburger person at all, I just happened to have a craving, We were not disappointed. I ordered the 4 small cheeseburgers with the Narco sauce and cheese curds, My Husband , the Western and onion rings. Thanks for causing a lil chaos in hope to invite more customers!! Well Done!”
“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).”
“Mamacitas Cantina has quickly become my go-to spot for a fun evening with delicious, authentic Latin food! Love the vibrant decor and lively atmosphere! Made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation! The bar and food menu prices are reasonable and the cocktails are out of this world! Easily the best margarita that I've ever had and the pina colada was like a sip of paradise! The steak was the most tender that I've ever had in my life! Perfectly cooked and exquisite! My husband had the tacos and he loved them - we will definitely be back for their Taco Tuesday! I also heard that they have a dancing robot on Fridays...WHHHAAATT?! We have to see that! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening when they had karaoke, and it was a blast! We had so much fun! If you're in the Dayton/Kettering area and craving a taste of Latin America paired with a lively atmosphere, do yourself a favor and visit Mamacitas Cantina!”

“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.”
“Steak Thyme is a hidden gem! I've known the family who owns this place for years and I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner. While they're famous for their cheesesteaks, they offer so much more. It's a fantastic sports bar with incredible food and service. We had a Bavarian pretzel that was the size of my head with two amazing dipping sauces, and we also tried fried banana peppers for the first time. They were incredible! Our server, Taner, was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. She made great recommendations, including the addictive banana peppers we funneled! I even had a chance to chat with one of the owners, Jake. Turns out I know his older sister! (Another incredible human being) It's a family-owned business with a great atmosphere and even better food. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.”
“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!”
“I ordered an in store pick-up. My food was prepared promptly within the specificed time given from my server. The order was done according to my special request and the food was delicious. I love going to their Miller Lane location. I receive great service most times when I visit.”
“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!!”
“We had dinner I had the pulled pork sandwich, my nice had the brisket sandwich. Our sides where Cole slaw, potato salad and green beans. Everything was amazing good. The employees where friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Dayton area.”
“We had a wonderful dinner with our adult children! Appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all excellent. The staff were friendly and the restaurant clean. They graciously suggested menu items and described them to a bunch of Cajuns. The rice pudding was so good! Thank you, Cafe Terra staff, for the delightful meal and for making us feel like valued friends.”
“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.”

“Didn’t feel like cooking tonight, so I ordered their ham and cheese sub, with a side of Jojos. Delivery was quick and the food arrived still steaming hot 😍 I hadn’t ever had anything from Gioninos, other than their pizza, before tonight. The sub was delicious - full of fresh ingredients - and those Jojos were ADDICTING. So happy to have a local pizzeria that offers lots of options, good quality food, AND delivers in our neighborhood!”
“We haven't been in a while! However, every time we go we try to get the same server ASHLEY McDERMOTT customer service is through the roof & I'm not just saying..”
