Our server was wonderful and did everything she could to elevate our experience. They had live music that was starting just a little too late for us, but love that they offer it.Our food was unremarkable and bland.

I had a fantastic experience at Referee's! My server, Hannah, went above and beyond, being incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The appetizers were delicious, though I wished there were more vegetarian options. The sports bar ambiance was energetic and contemporary, perfect for a young crowd but inviting enough for anyone. The beer selection was impressive, and I'm eagerly anticipating the opening of the full bar. Overall, Referee's earns a solid 4.5 stars for its great service, tasty appetizers, and vibrant atmosphere. I'm rounding up my review to 5 stars because I have no doubt they will grow into it as they become a main part of Dayton dining culture.

Food is good. Server is a cry baby and expected more tip than she got and made a scene. Not how it works

They are attentive, food is quick, hot and good. Glad to see them open finally.
The hours on the door mean nothing. They may close at 8 when they are supposedly open till 11! Happened more than once or twice. The food went from getting better to BAD! If you say anything about how bad the food is you can expect the manager to get an attitude. Specifically the wings were cooked to death. Dry as a bone guess it was my fault for ordering wings. Call before you go this place will be closed in a few months. Edit : it did not make it the couple months! It is closed! Sign was on the door today.

Very much enjoyed! It took slightly longer, but completely understand with the industry, and new restaurant. Server communication and service was great! Band was great! Potato skins, and chicken Alfredo was amazing!!

So..been here twice now. Including today. Folks, this is a new joint in town and they are still figuring things out. Be patient please. I've always said, if the beer is cold and the food worth the wait, you get 5 stars from me. If the hostess and server are friendly, we'll, that's icing on the cake. I've had both bone in and boneless wings. First Time the boneless are better. The Sriracha bourbon sauce is awesome. The steak quesadilla is big enough to feed a small army. Taira is working her butt off to take care of people and corrects any issues you may have; come see her. For a small town like Dayton, this place is a welcome change of pace. Plenty TV, beer, good food and live entertainment every so often. 5 stars from me. ?

Disappointed after all the hype. Cheap minced fish (fish &chips) and hardly any meat on the Philly. Also took some time to get the condiments that should be include when the plates were brought out. Best part was the Wednesday wings for $0.75 each.
The most worst food I ever put in my mouth, I IMMEDIATELY SPIT IT OUT, we ordered steak's an they were horrible,the meat itself tasted foul, an there was no taste other than that, the broccoli was brown an SPOILED, the coleslaw was orange an had a weird taste, an smell ,there was NO manager in the store to talk to,the server apologize, But still when your ticket is 80dollars for TWO dinner's an sweet teas this it absolutely UNEXCUSABLE.... WE ENJOY GOING PLACES TO EAT AN DON'T MIND SPENDING GOOD MONEY FOR GOOD FOOD...WE DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE RETURNING ? RETURN to this establishment!!!!!!!

With hardly anyone dining in the restaurant it took almost a hour and half to get some wings, chicken tenders, and a plain burger that wasn’t fit for my dog to eat! Over 50$ And 2 hours of my day wasted no thanks, won’t be going back
