Restaurants in Dayton

“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.”

“Very different but excellent food and service”

“Lots and lots of flannel and antlers. Fun experience.”

“Top quality food, friendly service and comfortable, classy atmosphere.”

“Pretty cool spot, honestly pretty expensive but I’m not mad inflation is insane. The only thing I don’t like is the area. To many crackheads. But the Açaí bowl is fire. Everything is else good also. I only been like 3 times. This is my new spot. Unless they relocate to a safer space.”

“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 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..”

“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.”

“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.”

“The food is absolutely fabulous! I got the chicken kabab and it was packed to the brim with the tastiest meats and rice! I subbed the salad for fries and it came with garlic sauce for dipping, so now I'll never eat fries the same way again ?. The picture I shared is what is left after I had my fill! You can easily feed 2 or 3 with one dish, but I don't mind having left overs!”

“I have purchased ribs throughout the US via mail order. Pig of the Month is the best! Not only are there ribs fantastic but I have tried the pork chops, smash burger, bacon, and cabbage rolls. I have yet to have gotten anything that has not been spectacular!”

“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!”

“4 years of living in a state filled with the whitest Hispanic food you could ever eat. but finally a place that just does everything right. much love to this place. this is where I'm going when I say."Mexican sounds good" it's no competition”

“Great food and great people. Check it out and support local business!”

“My first visit, and will definitely be back. Very fresh, good service.”

“Lily's is consistently wonderful. The food, service, and atmosphere are always evolving. It's wonderful to have a favorite restaurant where there is always something new to try. If you haven't been recently, to now! The menu has likely changed.

Vegetarian options: Vegan options too.”

“Great location for a nice night out. Service (Alisha) was phenomenal and the scallops were super good. Nice wine selection and unique menu made the night a win. Bonus: steps away from Too Social (axe throwing) and around the corner from the Century Bar.”

“I loved this place. So very clean, everything in a nice orderly fashion. The food was so delicious. The server was very professional and quite helpful”

“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.”

“Service was slow. Cocktails were good not great but very $$$. We all had salads they were large and fresh. I ordered the steak salad it was good but only 4 small pieces of steak was on it. I guess for &20 that's what you get. Atmosphere was nice”

“And the most amazing Bourbon selection with an extremely knowledgeable staff”

“Read before entering!! I believe in fining honest reviews on my dining experiences in order to help others in their decisions to patronize!! This restaurant was FLAT OUT AMAZING!

“I have to say, the staff and the owner, were very atentative! It's very rare these days when you can walk into a place of business and see everyone happy, smiling and welcoming! This is what I got! I highly recommend you go and experience it for yourself...the food was delicious and the place were very very clean..the resturant was full of folks, inside and outside in the sitting area..thanks owner Margot for a great experience...

Parking: Paid parking is across the street from the restaurant.”

“Awesome service! Our server was phenomenal! Great food, and awesome atmosphere!”

“The best burgers we have ever had! Passing through Dayton on a road trip I wasn't expecting anything over the top for dinner. The exterior is unassuming and the interior nicely appointed, with a very homey feeling table setting. Wait staff was polite and informative. The lark burger and garlic frites were awesome. Even the house ketchup put an interesting spin on what is normally a mundane condiment. Must visit if you're in the area!”

“Awesome place to hangout with friends or have a date night. There is so much to do including axe throwing, arcade games, all kinds of different video game systems, board games, Foosball and other games. They have a full bar and pizza from the Pizza Bandit!”

“Good food. Super nice people efficient service.”

“Clean, Good food, and friendly service!”

“Consistent food, quick service, nice staff. They didn’t react to my “Breakfast can wait” by Prince that I played on the jukebox but honestly that’s good because, breakfast can’t wait for them.”

“Clean, Good food, and friendly service!”

“Elizabeth L. is the sweetest person ever when she takes your order!! I go a few miles out of my way to come to this location because everyone is so friendly and the food is fresh and made correct.”

“2024-so far it's been decent but very long wait times that I'm not happy with.
Happy to say that the previous bad workers are no longer there. My experiences have been much better. Update: service is spotty due to worker shortage, etc but understandable.”

“good job on the food. The workers strive to make sure things are are done right. The Managers are awesome too. One of my favorite Wendy's to get food from.

Parking: good pavement, no potholes”

“My slice of pie was delicious. I took a different flavor home to my husband. I asked him how his was, he'd already eaten his. That was my answer!”

“Unlimited toppings? Yes please!”

“I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but it's tough to locate GOOD Mediterranean food in the Dayton area. Until I found Istanbul Grill. The food is delicious, fresh, healthy, and well presented with large portions. The staff are cheerful, the restaurant is impeccable and clean, almost sparkling, and I enjoyed every second of my visit here. I highly recommend this place for both date night and family d”

“Stopped by this morning to get in line before they opened and it was so worth the wait! My absolute favorites were the tiramisu cold brew and the garlic cream cheese croissant. We also got a variety of other baked goods that were all delicious! The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was excellent! I’m sure we will be back soon!”

“Food was great, service was fast, place was clean, highly recommend!!!”

“They were very accommodating with our special order and offered samples to give us opportunities for future menu items.”

“Excellent chocolate chip cookies and brownies- the salt on top was just the right amount to balance to sweet!”

“Great options and easy customization of entrees for fast dining and flavorful food. The portions and prices are great, and the owner happily answered customer questions as they learned about the food options. Lots of options for different dietary needs/preferences too! Definitely a great new spot, and we will be back very soon!”

“they have the best burgers especially the swiss and mushroom burger and the staff is amazing”

“Family and I were in town this weekend and dined at this establishment. Absolutely fantastic folks that work here. The food was wonderful as well. We did breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Corned beef hash and poached eggs for me the first visit and couldn't have been more satisfied. Kids had pancakes and French toast...huge servings on both. I had a bite of each and would highly recommend! Sausage omelet today was probably the best that I've ever had. I chose a biscuit to go with it and was impressed with the flavor and tenderness. The coffee was at a perfect temp and no bitterness what so ever. A bit embarrassed to say this, but I had to indulge in a slice of pecan pie today after I ate my omelet. The pie was heavenly!!! Great food, very reasonably priced. Can't say enough in regards to the top-notch service!!! Sincerely hope our family has an opportunity in the future to visit the area just so we can dine at this wonderful restaurant!!!!”

“Good food reasonable prices. Good service. The German potato salad is awesome Good”

“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.”

“This is the best sushi I have had in years! Awesome food and very friendly staff.”

“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.”

“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!”

“It has wonderful Service. really it’s an amazing place to eat! I love it”

“It is a great place to go if you want bobba and other things and the employees are very friendly and every time I go in for my mom they know exactly what I get and make everything extremely easier.”

“My sister loves this place. We always come here when she visits. Her favorite flavor is the lemon flavor. Her favorite order is the strawberry shortcake sub lemon custard sub blueberry syrup.”

“Great friendly service, exxxcellent food and cocktails. Reasonable prices and happy hour! Jake, the manager personally engages and wants to ensure you have a great experience.”

“The baristas are so kind and welcoming when you walk into the space. I ordered a caramel latte and it was the most delicious coffee I've ever had, and I experiment a lot with various coffees. I told them my preference of how I like my coffee, and they were happy to cater to my needs, and also the caramel latte I ordered was BUTTERY!!! I could taste the rich caramel flavor, and the next few days after I went, all I could think about was that latte. It is high quality coffee and for me, a traveler looking for a quick caffiene break, it was the perfect pick-me up.”

“SUPER good. love this. people need to check out Burrito King more often. definitely YUMMY! ❤️❤️”

“Came here for the first time and might I saw what a wonderful time it was. Our food was great, and came out to us really quickly. Not to mention how great our waiter was, she was so friendly to not just us but everyone in the restaurant. 10/10 would come again.
(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)”

“Great food! Great service!”

“Hands down the best lunch spot in Dayton. I’m so lucky to have found this place. The people who work here are so so kind and incredibly hard working. Love coming here! You also can’t beat how affordable the food is - big portions for a great price. One of the only spots where everything on the menu is amazing, not one thing falling short.”

“It's just another place for ice cream. That said. The chocolate shake here really had Eeyore excited as the flavor and texture was exceptional. The perfect place for a sugary snack...

Now Eeyore is bouncing around like Tigger full of ice cream blisss; a happy sugar high.”

“first this isnt the first time, super slow and they was out of stuff (chocolate and twist) which was posted ,so after waiting for our turn about 10 minutes, we told the kid we had 2 small orderes , 1st one 2 ice cream sandwiches and then we qent ro give second order and was cut off and told to pull up, we get to the window only to have the older lady (which is rude and nasty every single time we go here ) turn her back to us and then snap at the kid that took our 1st order.then the rude old lady turn tonus and aaid we don't have ice cream sandwiches we didn't make any today(. she is never nice at all and we don't think we will be going back . beside not having anything and the rise in prices by a lot ,the teenager are rude and the old lady is worse.”

“My food is always hot & delicious”

“We ate at Chick-fil-A today for my son’s second birthday. It’s his favorite! I asked a worker to kindly bring me one of each Christmas cow so my birthday boy could pick one and then I’d come up to the register and pay for it. She was excited to do so. She told me to not worry about paying for it that she was sure he deserved. Exceptional customer service! She really made his day. I didn’t catch her name but she did have on a black apron and was African American.”

“Server was above and beyond her name is Linda. Was not or waitress but took care of us anyway our waitress never showed up Linda took care of at least 3 sections and very well at that miller lane location dayton oh”

“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!”

“Our second time back at The Ugly Duckling. Great food and service! Especially accommodating and good with our kids. They all got a mystery duck! We will be back!”

“Yes recommended it to all my friend,'s. Very attentive staff and very friendly.”

“Stopped in today for a few things and was treated nice and got fast service. Great deli and love the Italian Sub and Rootbeer I bought. I'll definitely be back!”

“Friendly staff, great atmosphere!! Very delicious coffee, drinks and food!”

“We really enjoyed our meal. Flavorful food, big portions, pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Coffee was a nice treat also!”

“Tried for the first time yesterday and everything was amazing! We got spring rolls (10/10,) chicken & mango curry, beef & yellow curry, miso soup and the spideroll sushi. Yum! The TK refresher was amazing too! Loved the outdoor seating, cute for a date night. The waitress was very friendly too!”

“Flavors is truly excellent— a Centerville staple with phenomenal food and fast, friendly service. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“I absolutely love this restaurant for its healthy ingredients! You can taste the freshness! love the purple rice from Korea! All the sauses are deligh but my faves are teriyaki and sweet and sour! They are so light and fresh!”
