Fish is simply awesome with large portions. Luncheon menu has daily specials which are a great value as you get a sandwich, side and beverage including beer for $9.99. Happy hour starts at 2:00pm with $2.00 off appetizers and local draft beers. BJ is the best server, knows everything about the menu and is fun to be around.

This is a good place to get a decent meal but is nothing special and is a typical chain restaurant. You can go here and get what you can expect or head across the street and get something more unique and a better value.

Steak cooked perfectly although my husband says NOT SO MUCH. Mine was evenly cooked, consistent end to end. Better than almosr all steak places in the area. Nothing else impressed us. Waitress was awful and immediately brought to our attention we were over dressed and if we thought this was a NICE PLACE we were sadly mistaken. She acted like she was at waffle house, only more rude. Salad? Dish of lettuce with a single grape tomato. Good lord. For a $25.95 dinner I expected MUCH better. MUCH!!! One of the few places we will NEVER go back to. Inside was reminiscent of a cheeseburger diner. Do not take out of town guests here or you will embarass yourself.

Sorry Cincinnatians but Iâve never quite got the appetite for your hometown specialty. I donât really dislike those little dogs smothered in sauce and cheese, but would not go out of my way to partake. Service is quick and the place is always clean and does have itâs legion of followers.

What a great pizza spot for the family! Well priced and a wide variety of different pies are available. Also, the salads are delicious and very well prepared. We went with a group of 11 on a Friday night and we were concerned about the wait when we saw the line but we were seated in about 20-25 minutes from standing on the line that was out both sets of doors. We ordered 7 pies and 2 full salads for 11 people and we had about the equivalent of 1 pie remaining to take home. Nothing like cold pizza as a late night snack! Thanks so much for the great review. We really appreciate it! Hope you enjoyed the leftovers!

I was completely in utterly disappointed in coming here with my friends because I expected to have the wedge salad with a side of chicken breasts like I Did in February of this year. Only to find out they no longer have the word salad I was very disappointed as pleasant as their menu is, in terms of how extensive their menu is. You are almost are given too many choices. All of us had a cocktail as well. 3 of my friends had glasses of wine, one each and when they received their bill it was shockingly nearly $18 per glass. That is price gouging to a ridiculous level. Below are pictures of my salad a ended up making for me which ran about $17. And the cocktail...it was something beachy. The other picture shows just of the other orders at our table..which was I believe were lettuce wraps.We are so sorry for the disappointing experience. We completely understand your frustration. We'll make sure to let our team know that the Wedge Salad is missed. Again, we are terribly sorry for this inconvenience. Thank you for your feedback.

Independently owned "nice dining:" great food, friendly service, creative bar program in an un-stuffy atmosphere. Food, cocktails, beers, and wines change to reflect midwestern seasons with a focus on eclectic American and scratch made comfort food.

The cocktails are imaginative and tasty. The small plates are delicious and fun to share. We particularly enjoyed the fried chicken livers. The pickled vegetables were also very good. The rooms are very comfortable. The staff is attentive and helpful. I will return, particularly before my next trip to the nearby Century Bar.

Horrible dirty mop smell about knocks you over when you walk in. Then, the hostess and waitresses are wrapping silverware at the hostess counter without a tray to lay the clean silverware on. They didn't have on gloves or wash their hands between handling menus, etc. and wrapping silverware. They were laying the "clean" silverware on the counter where people set their purses, phone and dirty menus. A dishwasher rack of steak knives was sitting next to me on the bench where we were waiting. Water still dripping off and onto the bench. Anyone could have sneezed on them or a child could have picked up a sharp knife and hurt themselves or others. I saw a waitress walking through the dining room to the bar with a stack of glasses. She had her bare hands directly on the rims on the top and bottom glasses. When we sat down at our table, there was a terrible garbage smell coming from the kitchen. Food stains on the menu was another turn off. They put the small container of salad dressing(I ordered it on the side) directly in my salad so it spilled onto my salad. Who knows where it had been sitting before or who handled it but now what ever germs were on the container are now in my salad. Glad none of us got sick.

Our family that lives near Dayton eat here often, so they brought us here for dinner. We were not impressed! I ordered the chicken parmesan sub- not enough chicken, not enough tomato sauce, and not enough cheese. Served lukewarm. We had to wait at least 10 minutes for the fries that were ordered at the same time to arrive at the table. (By then, half of the small sub I ordered was eaten). My husband ordered a chicken teriyaki sub- not impressed either. We will not be eating here again.

We had lunch there in April 2018. They featured a very wide variety of entrees and other items and while it wasn't cheap, it wasn't expensive either. What we like about cafeterias is paying for what you get, not a buffet price where you feel like you paid a lot, so you need to pack in everything you can. We wound up not eating some of our pecan pie, so they brought us a box to take it home--another plus over buffet style.We entered, selected different types of stuffed chicken, potatoes, vegetables, rolls, two slices of pie, etc. I would describe it as a good Sunday-dinner. The cost for both of us was about $28--high when compared to a burger joint, but low compared to lots of regular restaurants--especially when you consider all that we got.Nothing tasted bad, most was very good. I loved my stuffed chicken and had a couple of bites of my wife's and thought it also excellent. The benefit of this sort of place is--you can get a good restaurant-style meal, carved beef, chops, chicken and such, and be sitting at your table eating less than ten minutes from when you walk into the place. Servers come around and refill water glasses, bring you extra things like napkins. You sit at regular tables with real silverware and real glasses. When we travel, it's hard to squeeze in time for some fancy restaurants, where it might take 85 minutes or so to get served and eat--even without dessert. We ate enough to last for hours and were out of the place about 50 minutes after we walked in.
