“Today, I had the opportunity to go for lunch and I have to say, I do plan on going back. It was busy during lunch time, which to me was a good sign. We looked over the menu and there were a lot of things that sounded good. They had quite a few choices for burgers and the rest of the menu was a combination of sandwiches, tacos, and seafood items. I found it to be an interesting array of options.Companion one ordered the Turkey Rachel, which was I guess what you would call the female version of a Reuben. It consisted of sliced turkey breast, swiss cheese, and coleslaw, on toasted DLM bread w/ 1000 island dressing on the side. Companion one substituted the house made chips for the pub fries. Companion one commented that the sandwich was excellent. The bread was toasted to perfection, so that it did not scrape the roof of your mouth. The ratio of turkey to coleslaw was excellent. Although the dressing was there to put on the sandwich, it was not needed because the coleslaw had the right amount of mayo and vinegar that complimented the sandwich. The fries were excellent as well. Nice and crispy. Companion two had the California burger, cooked medium w/ swiss cheese, lettuce, hold the onions, pickles, avocado spread, and secret boom sauce w/ a side of the house made chips. The burger was cooked perfectly medium and was nice and juicy. Although the onions would not have hurt, the pickles gave the burger a nice pop of flavor that was unexpected and worked well. The bun, which I believe was a brioche was delicious and held up well w/ the juicy burger. The chips were enjoyed but would definitely go for the pub fries next time. Companion three was very intrigued by the sticky fingers burger so an inquiry was made. The waitress smiled and said it was her favorite. The sticky fingers burger was topped w/ melted pepper jack cheese, bacon slices, Asian sweet chili sauce and peanut butter. There were jokes made about the right kind of peanut butter needing to be used. Would it be crunchy or smooth? Skippy or Jif? As soon as companion three picked up the burger, some of the peanut butter fell out, so that answered one of the questions……smooth. As to the brand, who knows, but the burger was excellent. Considered one of the best burgers companion three has had so far this year. The combination of sweet chili sauce and peanut butter played very well together. As a disclaimer though, it was a very messy burger and should have been cut in half. Companion three needed all the napkins. It was felt perhaps the peanut butter should have been on the side, to control how much was applied to the burger. It was also felt that the next time, the pub fries would be a better choice. They were very good. As for me, I was in the mood for fish, so I went w/ the fish and chips. There were a few other fish options on the menu that were grouper. I couldn’t remember if I had ever had grouper before, so I just stuck w/ the beer battered cod and pub fries, with coleslaw. Now, I am usually a KFC coleslaw girl, but I gotta say, this coleslaw was better than KFC. Not too wet and not too tangy. Also tasted as if there were perhaps celery seeds in it that gave it a nice flavor twist. The pub fries were excellent. I don’t know if they were flash fried, twice fried or what, but they were nice and crispy, with just a slight hint of seasoning on them. As for the fish itself, that was a misstep for me. There was no seasoning on the fish or batter. There was really nothing special about it. I could have trusted the Gorton’s Fisherman. That was my fault and I own it. However, I will say this, I would like to go back and see what they have for dinner. The prices are reasonable and its worth giving a try. I just might even have to try the sticky fingers burger.“

“We order here quite often, typically delivery. Our order was incorrect ( I believe fault of the driver ) and asked if my food could be remade which is always an uncomfortable conversation. The girl up front was very sweet. As was the entire staff, they were not upset and very polite. Our food always tastes great and is high quality. Thank you“

“If you want to be transported into a comforting, older restaurant in the Dayton area this is your place. It has smooth music playing while you eat food that you’d imagine a 75-80 year old would eat. This is not to discourage because the freshly carved meat is delicious and the desserts are even better. Everything here is perfect for grandparents considering I was there at lunch time on a Saturday and I was youngest person there besides the teenage workers. They were very kind and had impeccable manners, calling me Ma’am and Miss even though I was their age.“

“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.“

“Samantha was our waitress (currently rocking blue hair) and she did a phenomenal job. We had some special/extra requests and she accomodated us without issue during a busy breakfast shift. Awesome job ? Food was also great, as always, though if you're a saucy biscuits and gravy person, we recommend ordering some extra gravy. ?“

“I love this place a 1000 times over. Cheap beer on tap, cold and good. The sandwiches are out of this word. Wish I lived in Dayton so I could come here more often. Well maybe not because I'd probably weigh 100 pounds more. Simple but awesome. If I owned a restaurant, I'd want it to be like this.“

They're so delicious especially when you dip them in tartar sauce. I ordered that spicy fish and it was pretty good. I wish y'all would make that a permanent item on the menu. And one of the best parts about the fish is. . Its not too salty. I was able to enjoy other flavors of the fish other than just salt. Delicious, and great service!!“

“I hate that I can't remember our waitress' name. She was phenomenal! Kept our drinks filled without us asking. And didn't just have the drink sitting there getting watered down. She timed it perfectly as I was finishing one; she brought out another. Her personality was great. Very helpful. When we asked if they had soy sauce, they didn't, but she suggested something that was a great substitute. Which, by the way, when someone orders the salmon, you should totally offer that sauce automatically. It tasted delicious on it.“
