Debbie&#x27;s Restaurant

After a 2-mile walk around the river, we walked over to Tony & Pete's in downtown Dayton, Ohio, and…read morewe were in for some deliciousness. We were greeted by Jason, who was very friendly. We ordered the Turkey Pesto sandwich and the After School Special. I initially asked about the bread because I've been to places where the bread is extra, extra thick, and I didn't want too much bread. I wanted a good balance of meat and everything else between the bread. Well, they didn't disappoint. There were several layers of turkey on both sandwiches, perfectly centered between delicious bread that was made in-house and wasn't overly thick. The French onion soup was also really good, and of course we had to order the caramelized onion dip. We ate inside, and they brought the food right to our table. Overall, great location, excellent food, wonderful service, cute atmosphere, and splendid people. Tony & Pete's was a great stop after our walk around downtown Dayton.

The noodles had chili oil and cheddar-infused pork broth, Japanese fried chicken, bok choy, fresh corn, scallions, pickled bamboo, grated Parmesan, and black garlic oil. I really enjoyed the fried chicken and the cheese pull that the noodles had. The service was decent. I wouldn't say its anything to cry home about - at both the bar and the restaurant - but the staff was pleasant. I will say I was a bit concerned regarding the food safety at the Noods Bar. I noticed that none of the people preparing food were wearing gloves or a hair net. In fact, the young lady who took my order at the register was processing basil without gloves. What I found most alarming was when the time came for me to order, she simply put the basil to the side for a moment - took my order by touching the ipad and took my card for payment - and went right back to the basil without washing her hands.

Warning never advertised with Yelp. They have allowed a bad review for my company to be posted on their website and it's for the wrong company my company name is TVM electric the postings for a company called tjm electric they refuse to take to review down. I'm Troy Magers, owner of TVM Electric LLC. I'm experiencing these critical online issues: Incorrect website link: My URL, tvmelectricllc.com, doesn't appear in searches. The Maps link directs to another company. False negative reviews: Job.com, MapQuest, and Yelp show reviews for "TJM Electric," not my company. I've contacted Job.com multiple times. Unwanted Facebook association: My personal Facebook profile appears in Google searches for my business. I need it removed. Please advise on how to resolve these issues promptly.

Simple place but I love the service. Very family-oriented. The breakfast menu is abundant. The waitresses are all nice people. I and my child enjoyed our breakfast together. They have plenty of seats and enough space. We both ordered their special breakfast and it was great. The price is more than enough for the serving size and the food is great. Served hot and fresh. My kid enjoyed her bacon and omelet. The french toast is good too! They got some really yummy sauce poured on the toast and my kid ended up eating quite a lot for breakfast. It was not what I expected but I'm glad we stopped by Debbie's for breakfast. Else, I would not see my child enjoying eating her breakfast. read more
