Like another reviewer said this used to be my favorite place to eat. Don't get me wrong with this review, the food is fantastic!! The gyro platter is amazing, their gyro meat is DELISH, and their Tuesday night Greek specials are AMAZING. I've taken my best friend here and she loves the pita bread, which is the softest and tastiest ever. I've taken my parents here and made my dad fall in love with the clam chowder, which is a Friday night regular, and Reuben that he swears are better than in German Village. My husband is in love with the boneless chicken wings, especially with honey gold. I'm going to miss this place. But I'll probably never go back. First off, there is no manager. There are local owners who are occasionally in the store, but are more often talking to friends or sitting at a table than dealing with their employees. This leaves humans to be humans, good or bad. The waitresses are mostly amazing, but one of the cooks is obnoxious and needs to be fired! He will rant and rave at the waitresses about their orders even when he is the one that makes mistakes. The acoustics in the building make it possible for customers to hear this. I had heard him three or four times ranting at a waitress before my final straw when he ranted about my order for ten minutes because he messed up and put cheese on my burger (remember, dairy intolerance if you follow me frequently). The owner was sitting closer to him than I was and did NOTHING!! I left in tears. read more

I love this place, it's like a Cheers down the street. It has that same feel. My boyfriend goes there twice a week to buy a gyro, he tries to hide it from me...but I know. Their ribs are absolutely amazing, their waitresses are friendly, but the bartenders seem a little aloof. I only gave it 4 stars because they don't do a very good job advertising their specials. It seems like every time I go in there, no matter what day. They have specials up that always start the next day, or were for the day before, or the coming weekend. I met the owner last night and he is one of the nicest guys you could meet. I always try to support local establishments, especially when they are as good as Tickets. read more

Tickets! Their wings are my favorite out of all Dayton area contenders: Roosters, Frickers, Hooters, etc. I grew up eating wings at a hometown location like this one. They used to soak their wings in pickle-juice before cooking them. I don't know if this is Tickets' secret, but their wings are reminiscent of my childhood expectations of what wings should be. They are huge, always fresh, with ample sauce. Another thing I like on the menu is the spicy French fries, by themselves, or with chili and cheese on them. Tickets also has a hot plate which comes with three meats, which is the best Greek plate on the menu. I have tried the gyro twice and both times have found it to be dry and tasteless. Go with the hot plate! Service is spotty: sometimes great, sometimes whatever. read more

My Spartan Salad always hits the spot. Best homemade potato salad around! Loved the fun atmosphere and supporting a small family owned restaurant. read more

Tickets is one of those spots where I always seem to end up. It's right next to Bookery Fantasy and Foy's Halloween Stores, so during the fall, Tickets has become an regular spot for our gamer crew. A quiet neighborhood bar, Tickets features typical bar food (burgers, nachos, chili, etc), with a few added Greek dishes. It's these dishes that really give Tickets its unique style. Jules and I have often shared their Greek Hot Plate, which is easily enough food for two. The plate features chicken, gyro meat, and roast pork, served with pita bread, feta, and a number of vegetables. In terms of sandwiches, I particularly enjoy the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. It's massive--easily enough for two meals--and great with just a touch of mustard and some pickles. Tickets also offers a number of specials--usually a Greek specialty like stuffed grape leaves or moussaka--that vary from week to week. I can't say I've ever had any sort of bad experience at Tickets; our visits have always been laid-back, relaxed, and tasty. They're worth your time! read more

New Year's Eve and watching Hilary ran the bar like a boss. What a hard worker. I was impressed and will definitely be back to this hometown bar/restaurant. Food was great. Service was fantastic on one of the busiest nights of the year. Thanks Hilary! read more

I went off of other reviews when looking for a place to take my co-worker while he was visiting town. Tickets Pub and Eatery came up as a recommended location serving Greek fare, so we went. For someone that spends little to no time in Fairborn, it was easy to locate, and plenty of street parking. Walking inside, I was pleased with how clean and open the layout was, and how tasteful. Most of the seating that night was high chairs/tables or at the bar, which I normally dislike, but the seats were more comfortable than I usually encounter, and I had no pain from them after sitting and eating. The potato skins are insane. They have more to them than just the skin - plenty of potato, cheese, and really good bacon. We could not resist and downed a whole plate of them between the two of us. My co-worker got the Greek sampler, and everything on it was perfectly prepared. He almost drooled while he was eating, and his plate was clean when he finished. I went with one of the specials that night, fish and chips. The fish was one of the best prepared fried fish planks I've had, and it was rather massive. Our waitress recommended getting the home fries (hash browns) instead of the spicy fries others had recommended. I was not disappointed. The flavor was rich and tasty. When you find a place where you get great service and great food, and the price is reasonable, how can you not be happy? I will return again! read more

A place to not over look just because of the outside it looks like nothing special. It is well worth a jump inside I' was pleased because of the greek food. To understand that there is greek food in the middle of dumpy Fairborn, was I a bit of a surprise, but I tried it anyway and was very pleased. I got the Gyro Plate which came with a very good size portion of Hot pita, Gryo Meat, and a very good tzatziki sauce. Order the "hot" fries, they extra seasoning is delicious. I would not be tempted to actually journey out here just for this food, but If was doing business at Wright Patt then its close enought to make me want to eat here then some other place. read more

So I've lived in Dayton Ohio for about 5 years now and I've always wanted to go here. I was surely not disappointed with my experience. The staff to begin with was very friendly and very accommodating. The food was exceptional, with either regular American pub fair or their Greek specialties. They have several beers on tap and many others in bottles. They also will do their best to make any drink you request. Our table started out with an order of Onion Rings. They were amazingly cripsy not very oily and honestly some of the best I've ever had. As an entree: Souvlaki - Marinated charbroiled chunks of pork tenderloin served on a warm pita with tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce. This was also very good, the pork was very tender well marinated. The pita bread was hot and filled with sliced onion and tomatoes with a light amount of tzatziki. You are able to either get chips and a pickle or their house fries. Highly recommend their Spicy house fries. Delicious. If I ever come back into this area again I will be sure to stop by for a drink and meal. This place was awesome and definitely comes with a high recommendation from me. read more

Typical selection of generic draft beers (bud light, yeungling, blue moon, stella Artois). I was hoping to get something local, maybe a Great Lakes Brew on tap, but it was not to be. Burgers were cooked to order. Fries were tasty and crisp. One person in our party loved the grilled ham and cheese. Another had the Tike's Special. And the fourth loved the Steak Feta. Family members have dined here numerous times and had plenty of recommendations from their previous visits. It doesn't seem like there's much else going on in Fairborn in terms of food and drink. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Seems like you can't really go wrong if you choose to dine here. read more

I used to love this place... I just experienced the single worst restaurant experience ever in this life I ordered a dish I have had many times previously and knew to be something I could eat. It was presented to me breaded and deep fried which I cannot eat. I was told sorry but you still have to pay, I had my parents take it home in hopes someone will eat it later. read more

Nice, cool, and relatively quiet place for a quick bite. The service is fast and friendly. Prices are reasonable. I only wish they served moussaka as a part of their Greek menu! read more

I have heard great things about Tickets so perhaps others people find it better than I did. Environment was nice. Appetizer of fried cauliflowers was good... Well anything fried unfortunately dipped in sauce is yummy. Gyro plate lacked much taste, actually is was nasty. Staff was slow and not overly friendly. I suppose maybe people like it b/c they are regulars. However I didn't find it overly inviting. Wouldn't go back. Maybe it was an off night? read more

What a cool little gem in Fairborn! Lots of TV's to watch football, long bar with lots of seats (also, lots of tables if that is your preference). Parking is pretty easy and the inside décor is unassuming. However, the food is fantastic! I had the famous gyro! And yes, my thoughts on this gyro align with everyone else...this gyro is delicious! Wow! Everything from the soft bread to the tasty meat and fresh veggies. This place wins the gyro! If you live anywhere near by, you must come here! read more

Seems that my experience here has been hit or miss. I have eaten here a few times a year in the past. Usually food has been decent enough, not memorable, although a little on the higher priced side. Usually went there out of convenience and seemed that only other choices were fast food. Interior seems pleasant enough- dark wood, few TV's, some background music, but not too loud. Today's lunch however, is why they are getting a lower review. I had a gyro with no onions. It did come with no onions but no tzatziki sauce either. I had the waitress come over and she said "are you sure?" I have it wide open and it is very plain to see that there isn't any. Its not brain surgery. She heads to get some but turns around and comes back and gets the basket to take with her to the window. So now my meal, which is getting colder by the minute, is being paraded across the restaurant to show someone that there in fact is no sauce. I don't think that tzatziki sauce is that expensive that it needs verification. I might, of course, just be scamming some extra sauce out of them. I asked the wife how she liked the Reuben sandwich. I could tell that it had sat on the grill too long and was very dark bordering on burnt in most places. She said that is was ok but doesn't want to ever go back. For the two of us: my lunch gyro, fries, drink was over 9 dollars and hers Reuben, chips and drink was combined over $17 bucks sans tip. So for the price and food quality, I know I can get a better tasting meal for less at other places. read more

Ordered carryout 2 cheese burgers and sweet potato fries. I live 2 minutes away, I get home and my fries are cold, burnt, and look old. I called them and I was told there's no management there. Who's in charge??? I was told the managers are hardly ever there and "random". They also forgot our mustard that I paid extra for, and they didn't give us any ketchup. Medium well burgers were also burnt, soggy buns, old tomatoes, and old lettuce. I wouldn't be surprised if this place gets shut down. Never going back. read more

Really tasty chicken gyro and sweet potato fries.. fast service.. Nice sweet tea read more

See all

A Greek sports tavern? Yep, and the food is as good as the restaurant is eclectic. From the best burgers to tasty gyros, vegetarian choices, lite fare, and big gut-busting sammies, the food is great, the price is reasonable, the service is prompt and attentive without being fussy. A favorite for the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base employees during lunch- expect a crowd, but not a wait as they are great about getting people in and out on the lunch hour. read more

Showed up with a group of 13. We were sat immediately and waited on without delay. Waitress was helpful and pleasant. Our food came out in a timely manner and was incredible. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and spicy fries (which are seasoned, not spicy). Some others in my group got gyros and said they were amazing. Good experience all around. read more

Tickets is one of the best restaurants in Fairborn. The staff is just fantastic they go above and beyond, the food is great, they have some of the best wings around at a very reasonable price, the sauce is great. Will keep going back. read more

I have been talking about going back ever since me and my father in-.law came here for our first time. I came with my Beautiful wife and youngest daughter who's in college and my grandson who's 14 months old it was extremely busy due to the fact there was just a Christmas parade so you can imagine, but we still was seated quickly (10 minute wait) if that. My wife and daughter they are Not exactly as into trying new things but they both had the Stuffed Pepper and I tried it myself it was very tasty and it was a Nice sized portion with Mashed Potatoes it was so large of portion my daughter couldn't finish all of hers I had no problem helping Ha Ha. Stuffed peppers are something that you either get right or it can go reallllly bad if over/under cooked but everything was FRESH tastes like it was just prepared for you. The meat was juicy & flavored perfectly. I had the Greek hot plate again & it was as Awesome as the first time my definite favorite another item we are very particular about are chicken wings& again the best in the Dayton Cincinnati area my wife agreed we will be buying our Wings from now on here. Even though we will be passing like 4 or 5 other wing places but worth it. The wings are nice sized but it's how they are cooked & prepared just the way they all should be, crispy, juicy & sauced perfectly "Lots of Sauce" the meat was dripping juicy it's that good. I'm telling Everyone go there and you will not be disappointed our meal was brought out or timed perfectly this time. my Only complaint is that if the prices was just a little more reasonable we would go back more often not that it's not worth it, I just feel the prices are just on the high side of being reasonable my grandson had the footlong hotdog "kids meal" and for the 10 wing appetizer and our meals & two cokes it was just over $57.& some change like I said just on the high side of reasonable but within the range of other places that may not be as good. But Right now I am kicking myself for not getting the chocolate baklava I was to full & remembering the last time I got it wishing the portion was at least a full triangle and trying to keep the bill down I decided to skip, but I wish I had it for later.because it's made fresh everyday In-house and it is a Big mistake to pass on that. The service has always been friendly prompted without being fussed over which I like. You just fell like they are genuinely happy to have you there. So when looking for a new place that has Great food good friendly service Tickets is a place you Don't want to pass up on. it will be one of your favorites and has to be put into your rotation of restaurants. I don't want to go more than 2 weeks without eating there again. If prices was just a little lower We would be there more often. I would like to hear from any of you who reads this. To see what any of you and my friends think? God Bless read more

Love it, but wish their gyro meat was gluten free.....love love love their Greek hot plate, but no gluten for me now....no pitas either...

Meh. Typical bar food...nothing great. Can't buy hard liquor drinks there on Sundays even though the state of Ohio allowed it back in 2017. Maybe that's why it is dead in there every time I have gone there. Spend the time to drive to Beavercreek for good bars. read more

I loved my time, and dinner this evening. Brandy, our waitress was excellent. Very attentive, and knowledgeable. I always enjoy my time when I eat at your Restaurant. Great atmosphere, and great food. Thank you Tickets for keeping your Restaurant running well. read more

Worst service ever. I was flipped off by a waitress. I complained and was treated like it didnt matter. Gyros were made of preheated meat like i can get at the store. read more

Love this place. They even let us take over their back room for playing games the last Sunday of the month because we bring good business with us. read more

Had the cajun catfish dinner here. So good. I recommend the spicy fries. They're not really spicy, but the coating on them is quite tasty. Spacious and comfortable joint. Wait staff is smooth. read more

Simple wings, skins, and cheese sticks, but oh so damn good. We will be visiting here again very very soon. read more

Tickets Pub & Eatery - Greek Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

After drinking here for 20 years they discontinued my killigans red for some nasty beer from yellow I guess the old drunks that own this place made that poor decision no authentic beer for st Patrick's day read more

The honey golden wings wet were amazing and I will be craving them in a few days. We had a party of 13 and they accommodated us with ease and were nothing but great and attentive. The appetizers were huge and the cauliflower was delicious. The only thing is management needs to schedule their serveres better there was only one server for the entire restaurant and the bar side was packed. read more

Love this place. Best wings ever. Good food. Nice environment. Missed it during the shutdown, it so glad we could get takeout now

Good place, very relaxing. You can watch football and eat Greek food at the same time

This is not a Greek restaurant. Probably the worst gyros I've ever had. I used to work in Greektown in Detroit. However, it's a friendly bar atmosphere, get a burger and some beer. read more

Worse Gyro ever. Wet Warmed slabs of spam. Sent it back, still charged. Save your money and your GI system.

Have wanted to try Tickets in Fairborn for some time now and decided to check them out for lunch. Nice, clean, corner bar type atmosphere, very large bar area. The service was a little slow and the server we had was not overly personable, they were not very crowded either. The menu seemed pretty diverse, typical sports bar fare (burgers, wings, rings, fries, etc) with the addition of a pretty good selection of Greek food. I ordered the Gyro and chips platter, I've heard that their Gyros are pretty good. Lots of Gyro meat, good flavor overall, not a lot of tziki sauce which was kind of a shame because the little that was on it was pretty good (I should have asked for more I suppose). Overall a pretty decent experience, if I find myself in Fairborn around lunch time I'd probably stop by again. read more

I love this place! It is a Greek style restaurant with a bar. I have not eaten anything there that I did not like. The only downside is that they close too early. read more

The food is just mediocre at best. And talk about SLOW! Ive been here several times with different groups and this place is consistently slow and very inattentive. I will no be going back here. read more

In my honest opinion, this is probably the best place in downtown Fairborn. I love the food and the staff! The food is always great, no matter what I order, although I am partial towards their Greek Gyro. Mmmmm. You should come try this place out! read more

Tickets is always good. It's been hit and miss on the customer service and to go orders being right. But they have amazing gyros! They are so good I don't shy from ordering the same thing each time. So I guess that's all I can speak to for food. But this is my go to for gyros. I know a lot of people like this place so you probably can't go wrong ordering just about anything on the menu. I can't really speak for much other than the gyros. But great place to grab a bit and has a bar. How can you go wrong when the serve alcohol :) read more

A sports bar that serves greek food is the best way to describe this place. The bar side is definitely all sports bar, but there are two more rooms that are definitely more "restraunty"! The menu is filled with all sorts of things including several different greek dishes. I love the souvlaki, and they have a greek hot plate that is great too. There are also burgers, salads, steaks on the menu, so of Greek isn't your thing, you'll stil lhave plenty to choose from! read more
