Family Restaurants near Fairborn, OH

“Went on a miserable weather day when the Quaker Steak and Lube in Colerain closed early... went home to regroup... this place was local. Truly a miracle in disguise... for straight flavor, the wings were the best I have ever had... they were somehow flavored all the way through or something. No chicken bites or sauce bites, it was just all flavor. Not overly large wings, and the order came out to about 9, but they were delicious. Onion Rings were good. Little on the pricier side than I usually like, but it was depression cure.“

“Last time I was there, I had the Fairborn burger, and a side order of garlic bread. The burger was fairly standard, but quite a large one for its $10 price tag, so I feel it was a good deal. The garlic bread on the other hand, hardly tasted of garlic at all, and seemed to be a couple slices of French bread basted with a very thin layer of butter that had once been in the same room as a bottle of garlic powder. The fries are steak fries reminiscent of Red Robin's. The house salad dressing is a good choice if you like tangy vinaigrettes.The dining room is sparsely decorated, and some of the booths are not in the best repair.The service is always very friendly, and the man bussing the tables is quite the character. I can tell this place has a lot of regulars, and I suppose I may become one of them in time.The first time I visited I had the chicken and dumplings Sunday special, which was excellent comfort food and extremely filling. It's bottomless, but I couldn't manage more than that first serving.Go ahead and check them out.“

“The food was amazing. We got Grilled pork chops, fries, ribs, and a pulled sirloin wrap for our entrees. Then we got cheese curds for our appetizer. The food came out really quickly although it does depend on how busy it is. The server we had, Diddy, was super kid friendly, kind, and patient. The restaurant was well kept and clean. It is small but good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“We had the distinguished honor of darkening the door of this incredible establishment on the 7th of April in the year of two thousand and twenty four.If you want to experience what it feels like to be treated like a billionaire, ask for server DeDe Larson.Incredibly knowledgeable of all things on the menu, offering suggestions to my group that custom matched our unique tastes and pallets.Bringing out highly customized and technically challenging orders with speed and accuracy!My friends and I left this place with full bellies, and a new friend!

“My husband and I unfortunately had to go to Ohio for a dear friend's funeral. We lived in Ohio for 10 years and made some lifelong friends there but we had not been back in person for over 20 years. Prior to the funeral we were hungry and decided to go to Studebaker's. It was like stepping back in time. There were several elderly gentleman there having coffee and eating breakfast. By their banter with each other and the friendly waitresses, you could tell they were there every morning to tease each other and the waitresses. The menu and decor were old school. No mimosas or bloody Mary's here. Good strong hot coffee ( my husband said it was the best coffee he's had in years), Pepsi products, chocolate milk, Tea ("Ya want yours sweet, Honey?") and an old timey food menu your Grandma would have been proud to serve you. The menu was extensive but I choose the Swiss Steak hot shot. It was so delicious that I ate every single bite which is unusual for me. My husband got the fried Bologna Sandwich and fries. Fried Bologna sandwiches are a unique Ohio staple but oh, so yummy. This place made us both happy and full which was great as it was a difficult day, having to say goodbye to a dear friend.“

“It was a little busy and there was a wait after paying but they moved pretty quickly! We were seated, so we went to the restroom before getting our food, when we came back they had given our seat to someone else. Other than the server didn't appear for a while after we had almost finished our food, everything else was fine!“
