Our first time there and the food was delicious! I sweet tea was great! I rarely order tea because I usually only like my tea but this tea was great! If you're looking for extremely dim atmosphere this is your place....waitress was great! Great prices! I had already started eating and then took the picture. The mushroom fries, onion rings and we had a stacked burger salad (I think that's what it was called).....SO dang good!

This place combines both comfort and great food. It's not pretentious, but rather feels like family serving you top notch food. The people who both work there and frequent there provide a unique environment that once defined America, but has become lost to the past. I will definitely return.

This was the second time I was there. This place has become my family restaurant when we take our annual trip to Hamvention. The food has been great every time. They cook their steaks perfect every time. Last year I got the fish...perfect...this year I got the porter house..even better. I have been to places that are rated better according to food critics and I feel this place may not have the ambiance of a 5 star restaurant...but their food is way beyond 5 stars. I cant wait to get back.

What a fun locally owned bar/restaurant! Dark wood, a central bar, and an old-fashioned vibe lend to the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Server was super sweet and took good care of us despite the fact she was also bartending that evening. Had a burger and soup, both of which were delicious. For anyone who likes Titos vodka, they carry it! Had a great experience and would return!

This restaurant should definitely be on every Daytonian’s list to visit….it’s old school, but their steaks and ribs are always on point. Staff is always friendly.

Service can be slow at times, but the overall quality of the food more than makes up for it. The service team is very attentive to the patrons needs and wants. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious meal choices. The fresh baked bread has an amazing flavor that keeps you wanting more. I plan to visit again soon and try another amazing meal from this fine establishment.
