With a few exceptions their food is always very good and tastes like it was made in the kitchen of a good Southern cook. I especially like their meatloaf and their catfish dinners. And while they have many delicious desserts, I can't resist their blackberry cobbler with ice cream on top. I love their fried okra, corn nuggets, mashed potatoes best but others are also good. I wish I could eat there at least 4 times a week!

I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars…read more We've eaten here twice and, overall, have enjoyed our meals. I especially like the atmosphere and the history of the house--it has a lot of charm and makes for a unique dining experience. Most of the food has been good, but the shrimp and grits were a definite miss for us. The flavor just wasn't there, and it's not something we would order again. Overall, I'd say this is probably one of the better places to eat in Dayton, especially since there aren't a lot of restaurants in the area that consistently offer higher-quality food. The biggest reason I can't rate it any higher is the service. We've had the same waitress both visits, and unfortunately, she just hasn't been friendly or welcoming. Dining out, especially at these prices, is about more than just the food. You want to feel like your business is appreciated, and we've walked away both times feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. That said, we'd still consider going back because the atmosphere is enjoyable and most of the food has been good. I'm hopeful that a different server--or a more welcoming service experience--would make a noticeable difference.

It was totally a preference as I'm from an area with lots of pizza locations. This definitely hits on the realm of a Pie Five, Blaze or Rapid Fire if you are familiar with those. They have several other options as well as ice cream. They offer plenty of seating and have plenty of room for friends to get together. I'll try it again.

I like books but I don't think the concept works, as the ambient lighting of the pizza parlor makes it difficult to see the books. But everybody loves pizza. Not knowing what kind of pizza to order, I asked the employee to surprise me. They made Mama G's Specialty, which is chicken, basil, and red onion drizzled with a balsamic jam. I was skeptical but I loved the flavor and the presentation was fantastic. The employees were friendly and recommended the homemade gelato, which I look forward to trying next time. Much tastier than a bookstore coffee shop, I'd come back if I end up in Dayton again!
