Awesome food and service. Best chorizo omelet ever. Great pancakes.! Brittany was a great server. We even met the owner who was celebrating her birthday with her grandchildren. She was so kind! read more

This needs to be a four star breakfast place. It's 4.6 on Google and it should be. The waitstaff is excellent, friendly and efficient. The food is excellent diner food - my chicken fried steak, gravy and my partner's veggie omelet were excellent. Pancake was great as well. Menu is varied and it's an excellent value. Next I'll try the fish fry. read more

Brought my mom here for Mother's Day this weekend & was pleasantly surprised by both the food & service (I'm pretty sure our waitresses name was Brandy). I ordered the southwest skillet & it was great. I would definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

Great place. A very solid restaurant. It's not fancy, but the food is consistently good. We've gone for breakfast, lunch and Fish Fry Friday. The staff are always pleasant and service is good. If you're looking for a good place to eat where you get your monies worth, this is it. One of my favorites. read more

Legacy Pancake House is a great welcome addition to West Carrollton breakfast served all day, sandwiches, burgers, Mexican specialties, salads, Mediterranean dishes & homemade pies. We were welcomed when we arrived & seated right away. They serve Pepsi products They have a variety of breakfast & lunch specials Our group enjoyed chicken quesadilla- huge & full of cheese, turkey melt -also delicious & full of melted cheese & thick sliced turkey, corned beef Reuben. The food served hot right from the kitchen We were stuffed from the portions but my Dad couldn't resist the butterscotch pie - he ate every bite. Paying in cash you receive a discount, while paying with card is more. We will be coming back for breakfast as they have a variety of omelettes, frittatas, pancakes Thanks for great meal & service tonight read more

Terrible service from an argumentative waitress. Need I say more about the service? We won't be going back. Food had previously been good on the many occasions we had eaten there. But the food quality has slipped and is just not as good as was. I suggest selecting another restaurant. read more

The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, we were able to get our food very quickly. Our server was knowledgeable and made recommendations and the food was amazing. The amount of food that we got for the price was unbelievable!we read more

Absolutely a great place to eat! Pancakes are on point, wait time was a bit but worth it! Our first time and it was great!!

I forgot to take photos because my entire family ate and enjoyed our time but for a small town restaurant, it was awesome. Prices were great for the food you get and it had that hometown charm that my teenagers loved. My 16 year old son had the eggs Benedict special and said it was great. My 17 year old so. Had the pancakes with sausage wrapped in them and again, no complaints. I had a standard breakfast and my husband had the country fried steak. One of the best he has had in his opinion. Well done Legacy Pancake House! Also, we had a waitress, but the whole place worked together to take care of us and those around us. Great interaction and I didn't see any unhappy faces around the room! read more

Taking them up to four stars They seem to be coming along for breakfast items we order are much more consistently good and we have gotten lucky and had really good waitresses the past few visits read more

Every time we come here service is great and the food is even better. Come for the all you can eat grouper on fish fry Fridays! Come for the pancakes. Come for the homemade sausage gravy. Come for ANYTHING on the menu. It's all good here. This place is our new brunch spot. read more

I've been here at least 10 times for Friday Grouper fried fish. It has been excellent until this last trip. I arrived and ordered all you can eat fish. 30 seconds later my first plate came out. They said I had good timing. The fish was warm not its usual very hot. I ate the first fillets and they brought me out 2 more. These were very hot. I finished my meal and drove 1/2 hour home. By the time I arrived I was already getting sick. Food poisoning, This is my second day sick. Just a word to the wise. If it's not real hot, it hasn't been held at the proper temperature. Don't eat merely warm fish. read more

The service was awful. No smiles, sour expressions on all servers starting with the person who sat us. I told our waitress that I had stomach reduction surgery and asked if I could order off kids menu but she said I'd need to order ala carte which was fine. The problem is that I ordered an egg and grits and the grits (which weren't on the menu) came in a giant bowl and were about 3 cups. I was disappointed that the waitress didn't mention this to me after I shared my situation. She was terrible at customer service overall and this just clinched it. Food was average. I'll go somewhere that appreciates their customers. read more

Came here for breakfast with extended family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small traditional outdated diner vibe on the inside with a bar seating, case for baked good, few tables and booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nowhere for large parties to sit all together (totally our fault) so we had to split up which was fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was relatively quick as it was a busy Saturday morning. Food didn't take too long, but it was pretty terrible. Potatoes were crisp on the top but more along the lines of a glob of potatoes, eggs were bland and bacon wasn't crisp at all. Ordered wheat toast after it was offered, and after waiting for several minutes and the waitress saying they'd be bringing my wheat toast shortly, it ended up being white bread that they'd tried to burn enough that it looked like wheat. Family we were with enjoyed their pancakes a lot and there were mentions of their lunch having better options. Some long black hairs were found in others food. Love to eat at local places but will probably wait a while before we give legacy a chance to redeem themselves food wise. Service was great though. read more

Checked out the new location of Legacy Pancake house that opened last Thursday. Their old building burnt down last year and I was so happy to hear they found a new location. Even better, it's close to my house! We went in for dinner and had breakfast and it was just as delicious as their old location. They did a lot of work to the inside, everything was fresh and clean. Service was awesome! As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted and sat quickly. Food came quick & delicious! So excited to have a delicious restaurant in West Carrollton to frequent! read more

They have the best staff and best food. Now they just need to stay open later. I miss them all the time.

I came into the legacy pancake house for the second time this afternoon with my 15 month old daughter, friend, her 18 month old baby, and 8 year old son. The host had the nastiest attitude when we asked her to sit us at a larger table considering we needed two high chairs and 2.5 adults. She refused so and continued to put us in the back corner at a 4 person table. obviously that was not working well for us as we needed 2 high chairs and had absolutely no room. when our waitress came over she saw how much we were struggling and kindly moved us to a larger table without any trouble at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]let me mention here they were NOT busy. there were 4 other open tables around us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] so as we continued on with our experience we got our food which was good and we had the most wonderful waitress we could ask for. I didn't grab her name but I know she has 5 kids of her own because she empathized with us over our kids....then...as I mentioned before there were multiple open tables...my friends 8 year old son sat at the table behind us without anything at the table but himself and his phone...no drink...no food...and the host came back AND YELLED AT US ABOUT IT!!! she told us "we were doing too much and that now we were taking up 3 tables instead of one!!!" I WAS SO BAFFLED. I have never in my whole life had someone be so rude and hateful to me at a restaurant in my whole life. I have enjoyed coming here but after this occurrence I do not think I will ever be returning. your other wait staff is absolutely amazing and so friendly. I thought this was going to be the new spot to take my friends and family since I live very close by but I am so baffled and angry at how she treated us. please do something about this. we were there June 4th around noon.

Best breakfast place in town. great servers and wonderful management. Awesome prices are unbeatable. You've got to try it. The food delicious. They have specials every day home-cooked meals.. don't miss out read more

The food is excellent well prepared and presented. The service is very very good. And the prices are reasonable, especially considering today's cost of living. read more

My husband and I didn't have a good experience. My husband got the western omelette. The omelette had very little ham. The cheese which should have been shredded cheddar. It was an American cheese slice. I had the biscuit and gravy. Very peaked biscuit and the gravy had a small amount of sausage and quite a bit of flour. It was just an over powering flavor of flour. We won't be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome place to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great staff. You can order anything on the menu anytime of the day, breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

50s style diner good music, friendly service. Food was decent for the most part. I ordered a side of bacon. As soon as my food arrived I started smelling something weird like old differential oil. Very rancid smelling and also it tasted bad. So I asked the waitress to remove it from my table. She said she was aware of it and that she knew exactly what I was talking about. The waitress was nice, and I'd give her a higher rating than a two star read more

Great place for a good breakfast. We were visiting Dayton for a Covid vaccine and stopped by to have brunch. Covid measures: They separated each booth with tall plastic walls and all working personnel was wearing masks. Even the cashier had her area closed with glass wall. Since they have a lot of elderly customers- I thought it was pretty nice. We ordered a full stack of pancakes and steak with eggs. Both meals with drinks came up to 28$ with tax - not bad at all. Food tasted good too - definitely better than breakfast chains like Waffle House. The wait time at the door and for food was also a lot better than places like First Watch for Sat/Sun brunch. read more

Nice quick diner for breakfast. One of the only ones open early in the morning in Dayton, unless you want Waffle House. We stopped in at 7am and it filled up pretty quickly with what appears to be regulars. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant has all the appearances and feel of a 50s diner. They keep oldies music playing which was also nice. I ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 breakfast combo which includes two biscuits, topped with sausage gravy, hash browns (which resembles chopped potatoes) and two eggs cooked your way. It was pretty good--definitely not like my homemade sausage gravy but it wasn't runny or bland. Husband ordered French toast with bacon. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of our food because I was so hungry but presentation isn't really something you look for in a place like this one. It was good and I wouldn't mind returning to try some other dishes. Very curious about the Mexican Mess. read more

Best breakfast in town quick service great price and great pancakes I always go here after my blood letting

Enjoy this restaurant! Great menu. awesome service. A great Dayton restaurant. Delicious meals.

This place is good! I was pretty surprised because it looks a bit dated on the inside but the pancakes were fluffy, the wait staff was kind and the food came out fast. Can't ask for much more. read more

Food and service was good. My omelette presentation was not very appealing. We joked that it was shaped and textured like a preview of what it would look like 24 hours later. Tasted great in spite of that. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So the decor is nice. Cottage core meets country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And that's ends well the good news the food was cold and not good. Even the toast tasted basted in lard. Everything was cold on delivery and the waitress was clueless. I had been to the old location and had a meh experience but today made it a firm NOT read more

Old fashion diner with the 50s style music playing in the background... Near downtown Dayton, so maybe not the greatest neighborhood, but the food is not bad. I am a self proclaimed connoisseur of biscuits and gravy... Biscuit was store-bought, as was the gravy... I would give it three out of five stars. read more

Service was excellent, the food was delicious and I am glad they reopened where they did!

Love this place! Would say it is pretty comparable to a Waffle House but much roomier with room to spread out. It is a typical breakfast place and very reasonably priced. Quick service and reliable food. Will definitely be going back! read more

Yikes! There was a dead roach underneath our plate! The food came out fine and all but when we lifted up out plate to give to the waitress we looked down and saw some kind a roach dead... on the table. It turned me off on coming to the restaurant and left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

My husband and I visited this place on a Sunday around 10. We were seated right away although the place was crowded. I was a little hesitant to try this place because the atmosphere and location was blah. I mean the location looks bad but this seems to be a local favorite. OMG we had so much food! My husband and I ordered the Vegas Special for 6.95. I was expecting a little bit of food but man we really could have shared 1 plate. We substituted the toast for the pancakes and they were ridiculously huge lol. Good food and prices. Will be back! read more

I go here for breakfast nearly every weekend with a group. We've been doing this since the Golden Nugget days... maybe 15 years or so. Buckwheat pancakes, potato pancakes, frittatas, etc. all good serviceable breakfast chow. Because it's across town and I visit on Saturdays I don't normally get back for lunch. I changed this recently when my work location changed. Wow am I glad I did! The other day the special was a lightly breaded slice of pork loin, served with pineapple rice. So delicious and tender, I was shocked. They also make my favorite soup-a Greek lemon chicken rice. Warm, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Odd that the only other place I know to get this soup is right up the street at George's. My next adventure here is trying some of the house made pies. read more

Excellent service for excellent food. At an excellent price ! I have been there a few times. Always great. Great vintage , down home feel.
