“Nice place to stop for lunch, and pick up some swag (T-shirt) along the bike trail! Great blue cheese hamburger, always a fun place to go for some foamy pops. Will be back in October.“

“Nice place in a beautiful setting. people are very friendly but the food is nothing special, average at best. You pay for the hospitality and setting at the hotel.“

“We decided to head over to Yellow Springs this evening and chose Peach's for dinner. our waitress was super nice, the burgers were very yummy, but my margarita was on point and I may have downed it in like 10 minutes or so. It had a great flavor and had some light carbonation to it, which I liked! Wish I had that recipe to make at home!“

“I really wanted a chilli dog. And Skyline was only a few miles away. When I got there I was really surprised at a flyer on the door for floats. Not only did I get 2 chili cheese coneys but a root beer float besides. It was heavenly!! The service was great too!“

“Good food with a twist. Friendly place, low key.“

“😀Love their chicken. Good size pieces and great sides.“

“Chef knocked it out of the park for the Springfield Regional OR Staff. Short notice on a cold and windy day. I couldn't be more happy. Eat amazing food and support are local businesses. Stella Bleu ROCKS“

“I've been here a few times. Every time, the food is great and the atmosphere is awesome. I've tried the Irish nachos ( loaded cheese fries), and they may be the best I've had! It's definitely a place to check out! I'd also recommend the tavern burger! I don't know what you're waiting on!“

“We had a lovely baby shower in this beautiful space. Stacey Black made sure every detail was exactly as we wished. The new chef exceeded expectations with delicious and attractive food. The staff was attentive and polite. We will definitely plan future events here!“

“I probably consider myself an occasional regular, because I try to meet a couple friends for a cold beer on Wednesdays. Ray is the stable force currently, and I’m very concerned if he ever leaves our nice little sports bar may not make it. We have a hidden gem (potentially), but things seem to be trending in the wrong direction. Not quite ready for Bar Rescue to come in yet ?, but definitely has too much upside to not make a better effort to do what is needed to be run more efficiently.“

“I've always enjoyed their super-tasting & generously-portioned Souther-style food & feel fortunate there is a location in Ohio within easy reach of me. Took my wife -who only recently arrived in this country- there today & she was positively BLOWN AWAY with the varieties, taste & servings of the food.

Vegetarian options: Primarily the fried apples, which are delicious. Also pinto beans & cornbread.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessable.“

“I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Fairborn, OH tj chumps.

We are so thankful!!“

“Ate here after a long stressful day, we had a great meal. Husband got the pork tenderloin sandwich which looked hand breaded. I got the burger which was cooked perfectly and chargrilled, so not greasy. The spicy fries were hot and crispy. He got the mini corn dogs which looked hand breaded also. Service was great, but what stood out the most was the kitchen staff. We sat in the middle section by the kitchen. The guys doing the cooking in the were dancing, and having a good time. It showed in the quality of our food. Happy employees equal good food. We’ll be back!“

“This is my wife's last name but wanted to leave another review to let people know I'm the cook third shift and our shift in particular gets LOTS of praise and positive reviews, both on our app and in person. Come in and give third shift in Xenia a shot we'll make your waffle house experience a great one. I am not saying any other shift won't, just that our shift is great. We all love working together. And we would love your business. I've been in this small town almost a year now and get stopped and recognized all over town and appreciate the residents who do notice. If you see me anywhere please say hi and let me know how your trip into our location was. Thanks XENIA!!“

“This place is a hidden secret in Spfld. The bar is fantastic, needs to be advertised more and stocked better. What a wonderful outdoor patio that is not being used. Shame shame. Still, I go out of my way to have a cocktail at this bar because the bartenders, Terri and Myssi are just super ladies.“

“Every time I come in, they are short on servers. My friend and I came in for lunch on a Saturday, and there was only 1 server waiting , busing and serving tables, and 7 people were in line to be seated and only 1 section of the restaurant was in use besides the bar area. The wait time was 15-20 minutes, which was really 30 +. 2 people left, and 3 were seated and Finally, we were seated when another server came on duty. Service was good ,food was hot and delicious 😋 Hire more servers Applebee's!“

“Went to the Waffle House on Dayton Yellowsprings Rd in Fairborn, OH. my husband and I walk in and the 2 servers and the cook are sitting at the lower counters. We are told that they are waiting for the next shift to show up and then we would be helped. Sat at a table... that's dirty... because none of them are clean. Another employee walks in... chats with the 3 that were there and walks by our table and asks if we have been served yet, we tell him no and he returns to the other 3 still sitting. After a few more minutes, we left. The cook ends up chasing us out the parking lot telling us he's the cook and he's happy to serve us. Didn't seem like that was the case the whole time we were sitting inside. We chose to go to the Waffle House on the other side of town and got great food and great service. We've decided that we won't be back to Waffle House on Dayton Yellowsprings Rd.“

“our waitresses Peggy was wonderful!!“

“Me and my family was here lastnight and we had CAILTLIN as our waiter. She was absolutely amazing. We come here alot and we always ask for her. We never wait on anything and our food is always good and most importantly she interacts with my child in the most respectful way. I my self greatly appreciate that from a waiter! I'd highly recommend her as a waiter to anyone. Keep up the good work!“

“We went for breakfast while on vacation for a reunion. Their chicken sausage was so good. The customer service was great! We did wait a little bit on the food but there were a lot of us and it was worth it cause the food was hot, fresh and so delicious. We will be back for sure!
Their sweet tea is the best!!!! ?“

“we just love eating here. Far better than Cracker Barrel. Better Service.“

“The rolled oats oatmeal with fruit and nuts was a tasty, hearty breakfast all by itself. We added a side of honey bacon strips. Very flavorful. (Hint: Add some of the bacon to the oatmeal.)The staff were cheerful and attentive. Plenty of free parking.“

“WiMga were very good! Crispy and the choice of sauces was a great variety. I had the chipotle and shared some Nashville hot. Wings weren’t skimpy and small, big and cooked great!
