Went here based on a friend’s recommendation. We showed up on a Saturday expecting a bit of a wait, which is pretty normal. But to our surprise, there was no host or anyone at the entrance. We waited around 20 minutes, and no one ever came to greet us or even take our name for a waitlist. We weren’t the only ones other people were standing around too, just as confused. Eventually, we all ended up leaving without ever talking to a single staff member. Not a great first impression. It honestly felt like the place was super understaffed. I wouldn’t recommend going on a weekend unless you’re okay with possibly waiting forever just to be acknowledged.

Most Excellent ribs. Get the full.rack or suffer regret. Shrimp cocktail perfect. The shrimp sauce is pungent not overpowering Ask for the dark bread. Salad is just lettuce. Choose another side.. No desserts. Go to Dorthy Lane Market for that afterwards. A must. Atmosphere is 1960, rat pack, mobster hangout quaint...but cool. Tables are tucked tight. Crowded always on weekends. Make a reservation.

This is a classy classic Dayton restaurant. A veteran at the Air Force museum recommended it so we decided to try it. It did not disappoint. Very classic Dayton location.

Started dining here at a very young age (1980's). Even though the 20 ouncer was not a traditional steak, it has always been a favorite with our family. Last week, I discovered it is no longer on the menu. Add some content to the menu to warn steak snobs and mitigate risk of complaints, but please bring this steak back! It may not be for everyone, but this is a good steak!

Wife ordered 1 pork chop, which is 15.00, they brought her 2, she told them she ordered 1 and was paying for 1. They charged her for 2. She said waitress was kinda short with her and it took awhile for food to come out

Best ribs around. Great food, great service. Kid friendly. Not too fancy. One of the best restaurants in Dayton.

Excellent service and my meal

Been going to HH since I was a little boy (56now) I was very disappointed. I always get the 20oz. Now no 20oz. And the porterhouse I had was not very good. The barbecue sauce does in no way taste like it use too. And then there is the prices. Way too for the quality. Texas Roadhouse is better now. Never thought I would say that.

Just poor all over, if I could give negative stars they should get -5. Attitude and service definitely needs work, felt like an outcast.
Shame…
