New American Restaurants in Dayton, OH

“The restaurant is so cute, eclectic, and so clean!

Our server tonight was Jamie, and she was damn near the best server I’ve ever had! Her recommendations were spot on, her hospitality was unmatched, and it was a wonderful experience.

I went with some coworkers, and we all tried different things, and we shared 3 appetizers. EVERYTHING we tried was so yummy

I will be coming back with friends, and am so glad I found this little gem!

If you stop by, make sure to ask for Jamie if she’s serving—or a drink recommendation if she’s your bartender!“

“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%.“

“My son graduated and wanted to celebrate at J. Alexander's Restaurant. We arrived at 630 PM on a Wednesday. We had a party of seven guests. We were waiting for almost an hour to find out they had tables available. We had to split our party up which we did not mind doing. I wish they could of asked us that at the beginning, to prevent the long wait.

The food was delicious. Fast and hot. We enjoyed the buttery croissants, con queso dip, and steak egg rolls for appetizers. For the entree we ordered the daily specials. Food was very flavorful and beautifully aesethic. 10 out of 10 totally recommend.“

“excellent food and service“

“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.“

“This was some of the best food and drinks I have ever had. I have been a big foodie my whole life and recently became a vegetarian. Since then, I have been struggling with finding dishes I truly love, especially when eating out. Well, we went to Meadowlark for the first time tonight and they blew it out of the water! The drinks were tasty, the food was delicious and the service was amazing!! We will definitely be back again soon!!“

“My son brought me here today for an early Mother’s Day. The atmosphere was beautiful and our waitress was helpful with our lunch selections. The chicken and waffles were so good! I highly recommend this place!“

“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!“

“Anytime I travel to Dayton for work I make a point to come eat here. The food is good, servers are always friends and the restaurants is always clean. If you’re thinking about going, go in positive you won’t be disappointed.“

“great food, friendly employees. I will definitely be a returning customer. 10/10 would recommend. Don't judge a book by its cover.“

“Oh my heavens.. I tried this DELICIOUS food truck today at Montgomery County Job Fair. I purchased the soul roll and fries. They are so wonderful!! Thank you for being here today!!“

“Good food. Broad menu. Great staff. Great family setting.“

“This is my 90 year old mother in laws favorite, so we thought we’d give it a try! Friendly service and a great meal at The Chop House in Dayton. We started off with an appetizer of spinach queso, it was full of flavor and the chips were light with just the right amount of salt. The grouper special was incredible and paired well with the rice pilaf and broccoli. The crab cakes were perfectly cooked, (she asked them not to cook hard...remember she's 90) and they made it just right, and the baked potato was spot on. My turkey and dressing was good, though the turkey was sliced a bit thick for me but my husband loved it, the dressing was flavorful and not too salty which is a huge plus for me. The homemade Heath Bar and vanilla ice cream were outstanding. It was rich and creaming and tasted soooo good!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The staff was very nice. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Highly recommend! Great food and service!“

“Kennedy made my dads birthday dinner so special. He said everything was wonderful but she made the whole experience very fine dining!“

“Yesterday the thighs were small so they did give me a extra thigh. Small portion of mac cheese,“

“I use to go to the Troy St location since I’m only a couple blocks away from that location , However the last several times I’ve went to that location they messed up my order. I’m not one to call & complain so I let it slide but after the last time messing up all 3 orders I said no more & started going to the Linden Ave location & so far my order hasn’t been messed up one time. When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . I can’t keep going back each week to get the order I wanted so we end up eating what we were given & on a couple occasions my husband didn’t get to eat because he can’t eat spicy foods & all the orders were spicy & shouldn’t have been. Single sides were put inside with meals instead of being on the side individually like I ordered them . I get the same 3 meals EVERY Wednesday . I may switch sides on 1 of them but thats it . When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . Since going to Linden Ave & having an automated thing take your order I haven’t had any problems what so ever & I was skeptical about ordering through that .“

“It was great to see you today & the food was amazing as always!“
