“Looking forward to future open mics/performance with Papi Kodak live!“

“Amazing burgers and good customer service! 10/10 recommend drove 3 hours and found it and glad we did!“

“Me and my weekly lunch bunch of 6 ladies have this place in our regular rotation. The clam chowder is perfection with tender, not chewy, clams. Paired it with Boom Boom shrimp for the tastiest lunch. Just sorry it took me so long to try this place.“

“I have been to this KPOT location several times. Every time I have had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food. Tonight we had an absolutely amazing server. AJ was very kind and provided exceptional service, which was so very appreciated after our 8 hour drive back home from visiting family. Honestly I don't know how KPOT keeps managing to go above and beyond our expectations each time we visit, but we are consistently leaving very pleased. Great job to the KPOT staff for being amazing at what they do 💜“

“My favorite family friendly place. Bock excels at creating a space where we gather as family, friends, soccer teams, etc with their large open room, but also there's a game room my kids love, foosball, and shuffle board. And that's not even getting to the food and drinks. My favorite snacks include the German nachos, reuben dip, and pretzels. The drinks are always on point- fresh and delicious. we always love the lemon blueberry with with a slice of lemon and the Negligent IPA. They are staffed by some of the greatest people. A family favorite for sure.“

“I loved this place. Its a nice, cozy, and comfy coffee chop. It was my first time visiting but I felt like I knew the baristas since forever. They have a variety of pastries and drinks. There is a grab and go fridge. The food was fresh and delectble. Frindly and kind staff who made me feel welcomed.“

“The crab Rangoon is #1 anywhere in Dayton. Fish Fry through Lent is IMPECCABLE. Cooked to PERFECTION. A HUGE KUDOS to Blake the Fish King!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Some friends and I went there for the first time today. The entire staff was so welcoming and kind. I would highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you 🩷“

“Coming to Hole N One has become a little weekly thing of ours for me and my family. My girls love the sprinkle donuts and I loveee the raspberry jelly ones. Literally can’t get enough! Lots of options as well, and very clean.“

“First time I decided to splurge and got some cookies for the kids and I . Was a treat . I assumed the cookies would be smaller so I was not looking forward to the paying for these cookies however the size of these cookies makes it well worth our enjoyment. Glad to have caved and come here“

“Had my first visit here and it was great, the food was so good, I got the Ruben and it’s one of the best I’ve had lately, service was excellent as well and the vibes are good, my only suggestion would be to turn the music down just a tab because we had to scream to have a conversation other than that 10/10“

“Stopped in after a Reds game to get dinner with my wife on our way back to the KOA Campground nearby. Clare had our table and was a great server! Frequent visits to the table, very cheerful, and served us a fantastic steak sandwich. Draft beer was cold and clean taste. And they have Keno. My kind of place, I will be back the next time I’m in the area 😁“

“The people that are running the place are so sweet and accomodating! The drinks were delicious! There are so many choices to choose from. The lady who took my order told me that if I didn’t like the drinks that I ordered she could remake something else I might would like instead as they are new and still trying to get the measurements right with the recipes but there was no need, they were so good! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed! 🫶🏼“

“I thought I had already discovered my favorite sushi restaurant in Cincinnati a long time ago, but then we tried Toki Sushi in Lebanon! Now, we find ourselves ordering carryout at least once a week. The sushi is incredibly fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced—it literally melts in your mouth. My top picks are the White Christmas Roll, Lebanon Roll, Rock Roll, New York Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, and Salmon Roll. You have to try them all! It’s definitely worth the drive!✨“

“Great food! Great service!“

“The wattress was amazing. The wine , food, atmosphere is exceptional. A party of 8 and everyone was extremely happy. Will visit again.“

“You place your order at the counter and the sandwiches come with a small side. They serve what has to be the best Reuben Sandwich in town. It was full of meat and kraut but not sloppy. My side was potato salad and it was good but a little small.“

“Had a great lunch at Hidden Valley Orchards yesterday, and the highlight was definitely topping it off with one of their amazing apple caramel ice cream sundaes 🍎🍦. Perfect fall vibes, great company, and a sweet treat that hit the spot! If you haven’t been, it’s definitely worth the trip. #HiddenValleyOrchards #FallFlavors #SupportLocal“

“Love that they carry TinCap something for us ladies that like something sweet. Amazing food always. Kid and dog friendly. Edit from recent visit during Oktoberfest 2025: I want to give kudos to the Taproom Manager, he was helping out with another lady at the bar. I asked for a couple crowlers and had went to pay and the tablet had an error, so as I waited for the Manager to finish...some guy comes up to be and tries to act like I skipped the line (which clearly I hadn't as the lady at the bar was helping people faster, as I waited for the guy to finish). It was a ridiculous altercation with a grown man, and the Manager went to bat for me. I appreciate that, and hope that gentleman who felt he needed to be a bully doesn't come back.“

“Our group of 6 from Hidden Springs Senior Living decided to stop in for lunch. We all agreed that the food was Wonderful and the service was too. Staff was very helpful and friendly 😊 We are already planning our next visit!“

“I couldn’t give a total 5 stars because anything extra is an additional charge. I mean anything! A side of ranch is extra a side of buffalo sauce extra and so on. I ordered a white wine sangria which was actually only a white wine with a slice of orange and a slice of lime. I asked the server if I could get a couple of cherries and a splash of pineapple juice to make it actually a sangria and they charged me a dollar for it!!..same thing when I ordered a second one. My 15.00 chicken sandwich platter after adding a few extras..( cheese,bacon and buffalo sauce ) ended up costing a whopping $23.00. I never knew everything or anything that does not come with your meal is extra until I received the bill. FYI ala carte is a killer here.“

“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!“

“Amazing, understanding staff. Went in with my newborn and needed certain accommodations, the staff didn’t hesitate!“

“Each year around Thanksgiving, we celebrate our employees with a company-sponsored breakfast. Despite economic challenges and tariffs negatively impacting our bottom line, we wanted to continue this tradition. This year, we provided a continental-style breakfast featuring Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit sandwiches, fresh fruit, and several additional items from a local warehouse store. Chick-fil-A delivered our food promptly, complete with all necessary utensils and serving supplies. A special thank-you to William, our delivery driver, who was exceptionally patient and kind. When I asked about signing the receipt and adding a tip, he explained that Chick-fil-A doesn’t process tips—but his excellent service deserves recognition. We want to express our appreciation to the Washington Township Chick-fil-A, operated by Marla Davis, as well as her Centerville (Cornerstone area) location. As a local Centerville resident, I find both restaurants are consistently efficient, and their employees are always friendly and professional. We highly recommend Marla Davis’s Chick-fil-A locations for any catering needs or any Chic-fil-A craving.“

“Relaxing and the pizza is great“

“Just moved here to the area couple years ago I just now started getting out and seeing new things in Lebanon and one of the things I've liked is a little bar called Kings bar on Mulberry Street the people that are and there are friendly it's a little bit of mixture of everybody I've only been in there a few times so far and everybody already starts to know my name to put it up on the chalkboard to play pool a nice little drama-free place“

“Victor’s Taco shop is by far the best “fast food casual” Tex-Mex menu around! We love going and getting the breakfast burrito; awesome tasting and so price competitive!! It’s a two-meal breakfast. Highly recommend, you getting the best Tex-Mex food available in Dayton.“

“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.“

“Been eating there since they opened the first location! Can't wait for the Huber Heights location!“

“Had a great meal at Carvers the other night. I ordered the 14oz NY Strip medium-rare, closer to the rare side than medium. They absolutely nailed it, the steak was cooked to perfection. It was a great cut of meat, very tender for a strip, and the taste was just perfect. The service was just right, checked on us when appropriate, kept the drinks full. The au gratin potatoes were delicious as well. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be returning.“

“First time here and our server Chris was fantastic. We received amazing service and he made us feel extremely welcome. The baja tacos were delicious and the beer selection had a little bit of everything. We will absolutely be back in the near future!“

“Pho yummy at a great price!“

“The PB Swizzle bowl is soooo good!“

“Great portion size. Food is hot and delicious. Customer service is top-notch. Lunch special is very affordable. Overall great experience.“

“Love the Hot Sexy Roll and BYOB rocks on $$$ savings!“

“We came in as a couple, hoping for a quiet corner, but it was fairly busy and had a guitarist playing outdoors. The inside was fairly empty, though, so we took the furthest booth. There was only 1 table with someone at it but they were a few tables away. We had the Triple Double pizza with mushrooms and an order of cheese sticks. All very good!
My experiences with Milano's as a dine-in customer vs a delivery driver are like night and day. I always have good service and great food as a customer. This is the 4th time I have eaten at a Milano's with my dining companion for today. 2 of those 4 times, they've made our pizza incorrectly but, both times, they made us a new pizza and let us keep the mistake to nosh on while we waited; which is really nice of them. We had no issues today. Our server, Destiny, was very nice and accommodating. The music was able to be enjoyed from inside, as well, away from the crowd, so that was also lovely.“

“Best wings I've ever had! 10/10!“

“Fast, friendly service. Food was great!“

“Amazing customer service! This restaurant gives back to the community!“

“Love love love everybody here and I come and get my coffee every day and everybody just has such a positive attitude and the drinks are made right every time and so delicious. 💕 always coming back it always gets my drinks out in time when I’m in the drive-through.“

“It has been a while since I was able to eat at Long John Silvers...or A&W, for that matter. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it all tasted. The flavor or the fish is one-of-a-kind and unforgettably cravable. The chicken has a similar, but equally good flavor. I remember actively disliking hushpuppies when I was a kid. The hushpuppies that I had today were the first ones that I have ever had that I would search out again. They were wonderful.“

“Service is exceptional the owner and all of the employees at work there are amazing very great guys and women I go through there just about every day and I don't think I'll ever stop keep up the good work and I highly suggest you stop in only thing I have not tried is a pizza yet which is next for us!“
