Dewey's Pizza

Reviewed By Bamajor - Rochester Hills, Michigan

The barbecue chicken pizza was slightly different than what I was used to but actually better than anything I’ve ever had in this category. It has some ingredients not normally found on barbecue chicken pizza. I think I could have eaten the whole large pizza by myself but resisted. This was a thinner crust pizza with a ton of flavor. The service was outstanding. Price was moderate for pizza and the atmosphere was OK. I will for sure go back

Have been going to Bill's since I moved here, some 40+ years and it has never been disappointing. Lots of different kinds of donuts from which to choose. Open 24/7 and any time you go, always seems to have a line. Quick service and friendly staff.

Shopping at Dorothy Lane Market is actually fun; exploring interesting foods & beverages...
If I can't find it at Krogers... most likely Dorothy Lane Market has it.
Well organized and staffed with friendly and knowledgeable people, it is a pleasure to shop here. Great wine and beer assortment here.
Quality produce and meats. Check out the cheese section for international gastronomic "candy".
Overall, prices are quite high.
But you will most likely find what you are looking for.. while buying things you were not even looking for at this "friendly upscale market".

Delicious. The staff is young kids but they are super friendly and have better customer service skills then some of the nicer restaurants I've visited. The ice cream is delightful and so many flavors to choose from. So far I've had the mint chocolate chip and the vanilla. I'll definitely be going back for more.

Our server, Mark was knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant was quiet and beautiful. We had the Empanadas, scallops and Cebiche as appetizers and various dishes as entrees, all of which were very tasty! Only misstep was one of the entrees coming out with tomato and we let them know as soon as we sat down that there was a tomato allergy at the table. Other than that the evening was perfect. Thank you!

Meadowlark Restaurant

Meadowlark is a chef-owned and operated neighborhood restaurant in the heart of Dayton, Ohio. Our menus feature high-quality ingredients cooked simply but imaginatively with lively, bright-tasting flavors. Our cooking is geared toward the American palate, which means fluffy, buttermilk mashed potatoes, homemade pickles and cornbread, great pancakes at brunch and yes, there will always be a burger on the menu. We also feature meat, fish and vegetarian dishes that employ the flavors and techniques from around the world that we have all come to love. This is contemporary everyday cooking, from scratch, made and served with local pride.

Nice place to have a glass of wine and a meal. The shaved beef sandwich ( like a French Dip) with a crispy bread was good. Tabouli with Sharma Chicken was just the right thing to have. Our wait person was attentive.
