The service was excellent. We had a young wright State University college masters degree student that could not have been better.I had the 10" deluxe pizza which was excellent. My wife had a chicken sandwich made especially for her as it was not an menu item. Very good.Three of our friends shared a toco pizza and loved it. One friend had the Reuben sandwich which looked delicious to me and he said it was very good. He eat it all and it looked huge. Another friend had the grilled cheese and fries. He said it was very delicious. All in all, we had a wonderful time in a great and friendly restaurant with very friendly and great service.I highly recommend.

Went here for a real estate meeting in the function room. My server, Ariel, did a nice job in the middle of chaos. My buffalo wrap was tasty––came with good chips. Not bad.

The cod, a large portion, was fried so hard that it was difficult to cut with a knife. The home fries were good. The steamed broccoli was very good. The banana nut bread was delicious. The service was friendly and accommodating. We ate here because I did not feel like waiting for food.

6pm Friday/6 people: not greeted, but found our own table; drink orders taken, served shortly there after. Given time to peruse the menu and orders taken. Also ordered FF mushrooms as appetizer. Served within a reasonable amount of time. Quantity and Quality of mushrooms was good. Meals served shortly thereafter. I had a Rueben which was fair compared to previous ones I've had here; something was different but have not been able to put my finger on it. Server kept checking on us for any needs, but not to the extent of being an annoyance. Others were satisfied with their sandwich selections.

Crossroads BBQ and More

Reviewed By stayontrail

Crossroads BBQ & More is a casual local restaurant with a very modest exterior, small dining room with 10 tables, good quality food, and friendly service. A full rack of baby back ribs costs $23. It is big enough to share and comes with your choice of 2 side dishes and a corn bread. There is a carousel of 6 BBQ sauces on each table. According to our waitress, the Crossroads BBQ Sauce works best for the ribs. It has 7 different flavors blended together to bring up the flavor of their dry rub. The Crossroads Sauce was good but we liked Memphis Sweet better. We enjoyed our dinner.

Stopped in after a long day of driving west. Comfortable restaurant and we took a seat at the bar. It's pretty loud and they were busy. The bar area has 14 seats, six hightops, and about six booths plus a good-size dining room and some outside seating. Nine TVs throughout. Lots of local beers on tap as well as their own beers. Very large menu, friendly staff, comfortable bar. Appropriate for families and it's moderately priced. The nachos are HUGE and include guacamole and sour cream. Parking is very easy as it's by a shopping mall. We would visit again if we found ourselves in the Beavercreek area.

Reviewed By isay691

Very friendly staff at the front first of all and reminds me of an old-fashioned diner. It was busy but fast; we waited about 15 minutes and there was a full lobby. Secondly, they make their own bread. How any diners still do that? Hubby liked their french toast. I liked their broasted chicken. I did not particularly care that the sides was luke warm but i was so hungry that I pretty much at it anyway. It would have been best if it was the same temperature as the chicken but overall it was good. It is the only reason why I gave it an average rating. Fairly large menu and will come back again to give it another try.

We stopped by for dinner at 7PM on a Saturday, and as advertised, enjoyed gourmet pizza, craft beer, and live music. From the selections on tap, I chose the outstanding $6 Grapefruit Jungle (GFJ) American IPA from the Indianapolis based Sun King Brewing Company.Our seasoned server, Liz, took very good care of us and always made sure we had everything we needed. Little things like bringing us red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese shakers for our pizza, drink refill checks, and a short wait time for the to go box and the check after asking for them go along way.The two of us shared a 12-Inch Jamaica Marley ($17.95) Gourmet Pizza, or as I like to call it, the Jamaican Me Marley pizza. Its ingredients are BBQ sauce, jerk-spiced chicken, bacon, black beans, red onions, mozzarella and Gouda cheese, with fresh cilantro sprinkled on lastly. It was delicious and we were both very pleased. I was also quite happy with my pairing choice of the Grapefruit Jungle IPA with this Caribbean inspired pizza.We got to enjoy live music from a local folk/indie band, The American Landscape. It was a nice surprise as we didn't expect to be hearing a live band playing Radiohead's 1993 alternative rock hit, "Creep" when we initially picked this restaurant. As this is a family dining establishment, the band sang a welcomed, censored version of the song. I would have stayed longer and listened to more of them, but we had other plans afterwards.

First Watch specializes in some wonderful unique brunch dishes. I treated myself to the “Chickichanga” which was a wonderful blend of whipped eggs, spicy chicken, cheese, green chili’s and chorizo. It was very tasty. Staff here are friendly and attentive, all of which made for a great dining experience. The line out the door we passed on the way out indicates this spot is a favorite amongst the locals and rightly so! I certainly recommend this to anyone in the Dayton/Fairborn area.
