Sueño

Sueño 607 E 3rd St, Dayton Mexican • $$

“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!”

Tony & Pete’s 129 E 3rd St, 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.”

4.8 Superb205 Reviews

“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 Bar & Grill 103 N Springboro Pike, Dayton Bar & Grill • $

“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.”

Joe's Pizzeria 4313 Airway Rd, 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!!”

Ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer but it turned out that the kitchen was out of the mushrooms and Chef (and Waitress) sent their regrets.

AND we got the pretzels and bier cheese complimentary from the kitchen as an apology for seemingly being out of the 'shrooms! The whole thing was wonderful and adorable! Hubby had the Chicken Paprikash and I had the Hunter (Pork) Schnitzel and both were gr eat in our opinions! I did substitute the slightly sweet, very creamy cole slaw because I don't like sauerkraut. The potato pancake was also very good (although MAYBE a tiny bit too brown/well done on the outside for me? But then again, I am not Chef nor am I in charge, lol), I just wish there had been more of them! Dessert was a chocolate sundae w/a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie!

The chef was entertaining and skilled, making the meal as fun as it was delicious. It’s always enjoyable when the cooking is part of the show, and they did a great job creating a lively, engaging atmosphere.

The food was flavorful and well-cooked — everything from the steak and shrimp to the fried rice and vegetables was fresh and satisfying. Portion sizes were generous, and everything was served hot and right off the grill.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was smooth from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun hibachi night out with good food and good vibes.

Looking forward to coming back!”

“Billie Gold Bubble Tea Lounge is an absolute gem in Dayton, Ohio! What started as a humble food truck has blossomed into one of the city's most popular spots for boba lovers. With countless unique boba options and customizations, it’s the perfect destination to satisfy your bubble tea cravings. Tucked away in a small plaza across from Taco Bell, the lounge’s atmosphere is a delightful blend of calm and energizing vibes. The cozy indoor seating is complemented by charming off-the-shelf products like locally made honey, candles, and jewelry, adding a touch of community love to the space. The staff is nothing short of amazing—welcoming, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially for first-time visitors. Their warmth truly stands out! As a plant enthusiast, I was thrilled when the lovely young lady at the counter offered me propagated plant starts from the thriving greenery surrounding the lounge. With over 100 lovingly cared-for plants decorating the area, it’s a testament to the passion and care that goes into every corner of this establishment. Billie Gold Bubble Tea Lounge isn’t just a place to grab a drink; it’s an experience filled with kindness, creativity, and community spirit. If you’re in Dayton, don’t miss out on this boba haven!”

“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 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.

Food was fresh and hot and delicious (good variety of options to choose from also). Some seasonal menu features, including for Lent. Going out with little kids unfortunately means low probability of remembering to get photos of food, but the appearance was great. Portions were suitable. Prices still reasonable, and mix in various available offers, a great affordable option for family dinner night.

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 Bar & Grill 103 N Springboro Pike, Dayton Bar & Grill • $

“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.”

Joe's Pizzeria 4313 Airway Rd, 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!!”
