25 Best Bar & Grill in Dayton

“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 have been going to Packys for over 13 years and the service is welcoming and food is always delicious. If something is not right they will go above and beyond to make it right. If you go for breakfast or lunch your server maybe Vicky or her sister whom treat you like family. The evening staff had an AMAZING bartender named Van who was quick witted and quick to get those drinks out when they were busy and under staffed . I wish she was still there as our recent visit we felt like we were a major inconvenience to the new bar tender. We will still go no matter what because Packys has a long standing special place for my family when my husband is on orders it has always been a consistent place for us to visit and feel at home ! Side note the burger and fries is 💯“

“Good time at the bar last night and there was some kind of rocky horror show downstairs with a bunch of college age students! Young crowd. I like TouchTunes to play songs we all enjoy like Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, and more… I got old fashioned whiskey drink but it was too strong more me! Made me grow some chest hair lol“
