"Lunch from Dayton Street Eats.The Mother-in-law Sandwich, (chicken salad), kids plain cheese pizza, street fries, and cinnamon sugar fritters. Everything was SO good!! This lasted me for three meals, and I easily could have made it into four, because that sandwich was so big! I tried a little bit of everything while fresh, and was not disappointed. The leftovers kept well and reheated well too. So good!"

"Used to drive past this place going to and from my former church all the time, but never had their food until now. I got the Triple Decker Club and the Cordon Bleu, thinking that they wouldn't be big at all. These sandwiches were HUGE!! I only ate half of each of them. And they tasted great!! The service was very pleasant. Trust and believe, I will be back."

"One word: Awesome!. I went to Little Saigon today after trying Pho Ga at North Market in Columbus this weekend. I was hoping it would be as good, and it was! I had a huge bowl of Beef Pho and a spring roll. I did not care for the filling of the spring roll, but that might have just been my preference, it was perfectly cooked. The Pho was delicious and only $6 for a portion too big for me to eat. I didn't even ask for a drink but was brought a nice hot tea and water. The older lady there who may have been the owner was eating with everyone else in the dining room and I told her that she would see me all winter. I can't wait to go back."

"I went with a group for a birthday. It was the worst service any of us had ever experienced. Our waiter only took a couple of drink orders and then left for more than 20 minutes before we checked in to take the rest of the table order. For the food we had to tell him that we had to order. Then he took 4 orders, went away and didn't come back. When we got him to come back after telling several other workers we needed to complete the order, he forgot that he had taken the first orders. He finally took a few more orders and went, again not to every person at the table. It took 2 hours in total and the food came out at all different times. We were all honestly very confused about what was happening throughout our dinner."

"The place was packed during my first visit. The host and hostess could have been more helpful when guiding me to a crowded bar area. I wasn't sure what exactly constituted the bar area, and there wasn't a physical menu available. I might have been upset if it weren't for a server named Zach. He greeted me and helped me access the online menu. Zach was very attentive and dedicated! Even though I was dining alone and initially felt a bit out of place, he made me feel welcome. Interestingly, he wasn't even my assigned server, but I wish he had been. He brought me a container and recommended some samples of apfelwein and beer. If anyone from Xenia reads this, Zach is an outstanding server! You rock!"

"We went early for dinner Saturday, not busy. Food was so delicious! Staff was friendly and accommodating. They brought us separate checks without asking (we were a group of 3 friends). I would love to return to try more food from the menu. I had vegetable stew with lamb (highly recommend), one of my friends had falafel that looked really good. I wanted a traditional aperitif so I had the lion's milk. It is not for those who dislike anise or licorice flavor! I happen to enjoy it. With dinner a Turkish red wine paired nicely. Overall, very satisfying. I had to finish the lamb stew next day (still amazing)."

"The Pork Hominy Pozole was sooooo good!! Enough for 2 meals for me and plenty of cabbage, onions, radish and cilantro for toppings... just enough spice to give it a nice little kick! And both two 2. Two Tacos grilled chicken and grilled steak.. my husband had the grilled chicken on yellow corn tortillas and I had grilled steak on crispy corn shells! Those crispy shells are phenomenal! And the steak was amazing! Thank you so much Taqueria Mixteca!! Always love it when you give us such an amazing dinner!"

"Fun interactive experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu/recipes and friendly, which made this special occasion that much nicer. They do go out of their way to make the entire meal something to enjoy and go back for. The food was very good. My only reason for four stars was the balance of appetizer, main course and dessert for the price of the 4-course experience. While fondue is the main thing and was special; breads, cheese, cuts of dessert items and chocolate is what you'll fill up on. The main course of meat, shrimp, fish and vegetables were on the light side. Overall enjoyable and will go back but may try al a carte next time."

"My First experience at Mel-O-Dee restaurant was Great. They offer many food choices and various desserts. They have Broasted chicken,burgers, Pork Tenderloin,Fish, and breakfast offerings are available all day. Menu offerings are vast so much so it's hard to decide. The staff is very courteous and welcoming. I highly recommend them for the tasty, comforting food and the welcoming environment. Dietary restrictions: They will work with you if you have dietary restrictions. Parking: They offer additional parking across the street from the restaurant."

"I recently moved to the area and decided to try out a pizza place, and I found a great one! I ordered half cheese and half pepperoni along with some wings. The pizza had a nice soft texture and a delicious garlic flavor, while the buffalo wings were tender and had just the right kick of spiciness. A special shout-out to the owner and the delivery driver for being so patient with me! Thank you, everyone!"

"Christopher's is my favorite restaurant in Dayton. Remembering a mom pop place, the food is always fresh and tasty, I never had anything from here, that was a little less than amazing. If I could give a business six stars, that would be the one. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have specialties for all three meals that change every month, they also special 3-course dinners sometimes. You do breakfast until 1:00, which is for us late climbers. Prices are super reasonable. Even the most picky of the eater can find something on the menu, as it is quite big and there is a lot to get. There are also a decent number of options for vegetarians (the bf says her Veggie Burger is his favorite, and he is about the block when it comes to Veggie Burger. For breakfast I recommend everything w/die veggie gravy and/or potato cake. I can't even really recommend for lunch / dinner because the menu is so big and everything I had is good:P Recently I had the Alfredo w/portabello and it was amazing. You also have mint sweet tea that is really good - they actually throw a great source of mint right into the tea, best part: free refills! (c) If you're out of the area and you never tried this place, you need to get in here because it's great!"

"Oh my goodness! I have lived in Xenia for 3 years and honestly up until recently I had never even had Thai food. This place is AMAZING!!!! If you have ever had Thai or have ever thought about trying Thai, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! If you're like me, I can't handle spicy and you can actually order the food with no spice! We started with the shrimp blankets and crab Rangoon for appetizers and let me tell you, they are on point! It came out hot, the sauce was so tasty, crispy and the Rangoons were full. Then I ordered the pineapple tangerine chicken with no spice and just wow. The fruit was fresh, the chicken was cooked to perfection and whatever that sauce was, was phenomenal. My husband ordered the seafood clay pot at a mild heat, and as you can see it actually comes in a clay pot. My husband said it was very tasty. It has a bunch of different seafoods and the clear noodles. They give you a big portion of rice with your meal and just by itself it is delicious. We finished up with the mango sticky rice. The rice was warm and the mango was chilled and fresh. I cannot express just how mouth wateringly delicious this dish is."

"Order consisted of a gyro, large cheese, large cheese pizza and chicken tender salad. The gyro was dry without the sauce, meat was ight I guess I assume it was deer ankle meat, lettuce on my gyro was kinda brown and sad looking, tomatoes were mid, the sauce for my gyro didn't taste like much but added much needed moisture as without sauce the dryness level nears a Popeyes biscuit. Cheese pizza was okay, received hot but was extremely cold by the time my friend arrived to which I stay not far from Salem. Big t sandwich, bread was not toasted but the sides were a bit hard.. it's giving slightly stale to me personally. Tomatoes mid as well, lettuce better than the gyro but still kinda old looking, pork for it was giving thin and dry like beef jerky. Not the best, not the worst. Chicken tender salad I was told was good, I didn't personally try it myself though or I would've given a more thorough review. 2 and a half maybe 3 stars for the food. Atmosphere was old and outdated. Service was nice I liked the older men working."

"The Saltwater Grill has been a Galveston staple for some time. I was encouraged that the menu has been updated with new items, while preserving some of their best offerings - I swear the Shanghai Delight is laced with Prozac because I'm always happy when I eat it. This time I tried one of their new "naked" offerings, hoping the fish would be allowed to shine. I had the grilled redfish, which was done perfectly - the very thin edges were a little crisp and carmelized but the fish was still moist and flavorful. I did miss the bread - this was one of the few restaurants in town that started with something with substance, so I was quite disappointed when a little crock of crackers appeared instead of bread. The restaurant is very noisy - I was ok hearing my companions but certainly couldn't hear the server well."

"Pretty good. My spouse and I went to Linh 's for lunch for the first time today. They had only been open about 15 minutes and most of the tables were full already. They were also doing a very brisk take out business today. The servers (we had several) were all friendly. Most of what we ordered was good.<br/ <br/ My husband really liked his hot and sour soup. It tasted fresh and a little peppery. He also enjoyed his General Tsao 's chicken and fried rice. I ordered a pork noodle bowl. First let me say I 've already had the best pork noodle bowl in the world (Vietnamese Cuisine, Denver CO). I was hoping for something similar. The pork here was fairly tasteless and was covered in something that had the texture of sand. I 've eaten Vietnamese food all over the country. The only place I 've had the 'sand ' topping is now two places in Dayton (another small Asian restaurant in the same part of town). I have no idea what it is. It 's tasteless and adds a very odd texture. Luckily my husband was kind enough to share his lunch with me. <br/ <br/ The hot tea seemed to be Lipton rather than a reasonably good Asian tea. I may be the only person who notices. I have several varieties of asian teas at home that I drink almost daily. I got hooked on them when we lived in Hawaii. <br/ <br/ We weren 't offered siracha or any other condiments when the food arrived. No one came back to check on us after the food was delivered. <br/ <br/ I would go back but I will definitely steer clear of the noodle bowls and will try other things on the menu. I 'll just have to visit Vietnamese Cuisine in Denver when I 'm there on business for my pork fix."
"Salad is good. Pizza good Calzone was amazing. Good atmosphere. The server we had during the day was amazing. I will say tho I ordered a Coke it tasted like something else was in it? I don't know if it had something in the line that wasn't cleared out? Don't know but it was weird so I ordered another same taste. Dewey if your reading this please fix. A nice cold coke with pizza just hits different. All in all it was a good experience. We will return. Thanks again for the amazing service that girl deserves a raise."

"Well this place consistently has the most tender and succulent beef dishes... nicer decor and ambiance than many Chinese places, but not so nice as some around the Miami Valley... love the carved door arches... food has always been great, good sized portions, great dollar value, service is consistently, reliable and friendly but not over the top. This has become my go to for Chinese... if you are looking for true Chinese, I am not sure if they serve it... they might, you could call and ask, but I do know that Tsao's on Colonel Glenn does have a traditional menu it is on the whiteboard... Tsao's is a classic spartan utilitarian Chinese place... go for the food, not the dining room... but hey, I have North China... no need to head across town... favorite place for Chinese right here!"

"Such an amazing find! We were in a crazy time crunch and called ahead, asking if there was any way they could start our order before we arrived. Our amazing server, Savannah, literally had our table ready with our food the moment we arrived. We scarfed down our meals, but found ourselves with about 15 extra minutes due to her wonderful hospitality. GET THE CARROT CAKE! I cannot stress this enough. Her Mom makes it, and it's worth every.freaking.calorie. I would travel back there just for the cake if that's all they had to serve. So nice to dine at a place where you genuinely feel like a valued guest. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"My friends and I have made it a tradition to come here for brunch every month and we are never left disappointed. The girls that take care of us are always the sweetest people on earth. The staff are always vibrant and a pleasure to be seen by. Today, Tara helped us and, wow, she was amazing! She never failed to make sure we were comfortable with our dining experience. She was very relaxed and had our food out in the quickest time. She was patient with our indecisiveness too. The food was great, per usual. And those pancakes are always so delicious! From our short time with her, we knew Tara was the type of person that makes everyone’s experience the best. Her calm demeanor makes the rush of what First Watch is seem like a breeze. She has an amazing attitude and we hope everyone has the opportunity to experience First Watch with her. With love, Table 42"
