    Tenderloin dinner with bbq sauce. Crispy hash browns with onion, bacon and cheese. Amazing!

    This is one of the best places in Dayton. A rich history, fabulous service and wonderful food at an amazing price. It's an old school, no nonsense place for a great dining experience.

    Great food. The service was quick and efficient. Love the European vibes. The price is perfect for the amount of food they provide.

    This has become a regular stop for us on our annual Dayton trips to visit the Alma Mater. Very old fashioned and often crowded so you know it's going to be good. I went with the BBQ half chicken and hash browns. Another guest in our party had the full slab of ribs and said they were among the best ever. I believe they do take reservations but we got in without one at 6pm on a Friday, though most tables were full. Can't wait to be back!

    I came to this restaurant bc my gf recommend. I was concerned about the lack of reviews or recent reviews I was relieved once I got there. It's a local place and older crowd that frequents this establishment so it made sense to me there wasn't a lot of reviews. Arrived at 5 pm to standing room only in the waiting area. They said it would be 1 hour wait. Luckily found a seat at the bar. 15 minutes after arriving got a table. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Brought bread and drinks quickly. Gf had rack of ribs with Tossed salad and house dressing. She enjoyed it very much. Ribs might have been slightly over cooked but sauce was very good. I had the king cut New York strip. It was well prepared had good flavor. Again slightly over cooked but it was fine. The baked potato with butter and sour cream was excellent. I enjoyed the house dressing on the tossed salad as well.

    Pretty mediocre BBQ. If you have a craving it's OK but I'd look elsewhere for higher quality.

    A hidden gem in Dayton, of all places. I haven't had many Asian restaurants of any kind that tasted…read moreauthentic in Dayton, but this is one of the few. The noodles are actually made in-house and have a lovely texture. I got the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and was definitely not disappointed. The broth is light, but full of flavor at the same time. It is truly very comforting on a cold winter night. I think the beef slices on there are a bit tough, but it's not too big of an issue. The portion sizes are actually crazy. I got the regular size and could finish maybe just half to 2/3 of the noodles, along with a majority of the beef. I can't imagine how massive the large bowl would be... For health, I also ordered some stir-fried bok choy. This was stir fried well, but I'm not really sure what the flavor profile was supposed to be. Is it garlic? Is it spicy? I couldn't really place it. The prices are very fair for the quality of food they provide, and service throughout the night was decent. I will probably be back again, if I visit Dayton! Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.75/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5

This was husband's first time eating here while I've been here twice with friends. He must've enjoyed it because he ate all of the noodles and sipped half of the broth! I could only finish half and took leftovers home, which is typical. Serving size is generous and food is always temperature hot and flavorful. I try to order something different from the menu each time I visit. This is the first time I remembered to take pictures of what we ordered. Food smells and looks so good I forget .

    Went here after church, for a family lunch. It was delicious. We got a couple of family meals, A…read morehalf dozen sides, and drinks. Although the parking lot was full the line was amazingly quick. I wasn't sure what to get for the family packs, I just told the guys in back to make it awesome. They got us pulled pork, pulled chicken, beef brisket; we also got two sides of mac & cheese, two sides of scalloped potatoes, one side of applesauce, and one side of potato salad. It's really nice that they had some tables that could seat us all. It's a fun little down-home environment. My wife says: The beef brisket, pulled chicken, and potato salad are delicious. I found the scalloped potatoes a little bit salty. My oldest daughter says: all the meats were amazing. I really enjoyed the scalloped potatoes. The cornbread was delicious. My second oldest daughter says: she gives two thumbs up and smiles. She says she doesn't know what to say. Yay awkward teenage years. My second youngest daughter says: cornbread. I love the cornbread. I like the turnips. I like the chicken. That is all. My youngest daughter says: this mac & cheese is delicious. It is said in the enthusiasm that only a six-year-old can give. She points to the pulled pork and says she liked that too. Our family friend who is here says: umm. I don't know. They should've had plates. They gave us the food on these trays, but they didn't provide dishes. The food was good. The ambience was classy. So bottom line is it's a good place to bring Family, they can all eat their fill, and it's well roasted yummy meat.

    Well I really like this place but today changed my opinion. We got ribs and brisket and their spicy…read morebeans. Really liked it until we kept finding pieces of plastic in the beans. IT was very off-putting and dangerous. Grossed me out and I doubt I'll be back. It was kind of dangerous because they were pretty big pokey pieces of plastic that could have definitely got lodged in your neck or punctured something. I actually started to call them but then I thought you know they're just probably gonna apologize or offer me free food and am I ever gonna eat there again?? I think it's unlikely. I hope it was an accident not someone intentionally doing this.

    While heading to Buc-ee's today, I kept hearing people talk about Rip Rap Roadhouse having some of…read morethe best burgers around, so I decided to give it a try -- and I'm glad I did. First impression? It definitely gives off biker bar vibes from the outside, but once you step inside, it's way more welcoming and laid back than you'd expect. Good atmosphere, friendly people, and the kind of place that feels like a hidden local favorite. I ordered the Biker Burger, and it absolutely delivered. The burger was juicy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and packed with great taste in every bite. You can tell they care more about making good food than trying to be fancy. If you're making the trip to Buc-ee's and want something local instead of chain fast food, Rip Rap Roadhouse is definitely worth the stop. Great burger, cool atmosphere, and one of those places you're happy you discovered by accident.

    Really cool place -- a classic on northside of Dayton & easy to access off of I-70 or I-75…read more Officially between Huber Heights & Vandalia but really just outside North Dayton off of Little York Road & Waggoner Ford. Classic tavern setting but great outside deck & patio. Room for live music and both bar & restaurant seating. Service is casual and friendly but efficient and smooth. Food is casual but barbecue and smoked wings are where it is at! Homemade kettle chips are good & the onion rings are real & crunchy! Beer is cold & plentiful, and the bar is stocked. When I am going from west to east or north to south, this and the Buckhorn Tavern are my two must haves! Highly recommend!
