The Dewey Mess and Bowl Dog
Chris C.

I have drove through West Milton for 40+ years and worked occasionally in the town. I NEVER SEEN THIS HIDDEN GEM OF A RESTAURANT. I got on yelp looking for a breakfast joint in Englewood. Seen the reviews and decided to drive the extra mile. Was not disappointed. I had the Mess and it was huge. Hashbrowns, eggs. Onions, peppers and cheese. Hash brown were crispy. My wife had the Bulldog. It was all ahe could eat. If you are looking quality food, service and economical. This is the place. You will need directions, it is not exactly on the main drag.

A nice traditional diner setting

A great and pleasant surprise out of Dayton. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff; Stephanie (eponymous designer of Steph sandwich) was wonderful and her son was also friendly and got the cooking down. The food was tasty and just what I needed this morning. There are lots of great choices on the menu to include some specials so I'm sure I'll be back. It was also a nice touch when they broke out in a Happy Birthday song for an apparent regular. Four stars only because I don't want everyone to start running there and leaving no room for me. Enjoy...

A great place to eat in West Milton! Eggs, Corned Beef Hash, Potatoes, Sausage Gravy, and Coffee.

Woody's Diner - Boneless hot wings and fries

Woody's has great consistent food at the lake. It's always busy! Love when it's nice and we can…read moresit on the patio. Tuesdays is Italian night, literally 2 people can share the chicken Parm. The Italian sub is great, all their salads are good and huge. Come hungry!

Lunch at Woody's Diner: A Buckeye Superfan's Dream…read more If heaven has a diner, it needs to be like Woody's--otherwise, I don't want to go. As a lifelong Ohio State fan, walking into this place felt less like lunch and more like stepping straight into Buckeye Heaven. Every inch of the diner is drenched in scarlet and gray pride--autographed photos, jerseys worn by real players, helmets, and memorabilia that makes you want to stand up and belt out "Carmen Ohio." I knew before even cracking the menu: I was home. Our server, Grace, was all smiles and Buckeye spirit. She gave us the rundown--Woody's has been serving up Buckeye-influenced eats for about 15 years. And it shows. The burgers aren't just burgers here--they're tributes, each named after coaches, players, or football legends. Picking one felt like draft day. Grace recommended the Dustin Burger, named after former Buckeye great Dustin Fox. Now, I'll admit--when I heard "peanut butter on a burger," my first reaction was the same as when Michigan wins a game: complete disbelief. But I trusted Grace. And let me tell you... this was no trick play. This half-pound beauty came stacked with peanut butter, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg. It sounds strange, but somehow the combo worked like a perfectly executed Flea Flicker. The bun was grilled, the burger cooked to a juicy medium rare, and by the second bite I needed a stack of napkins big enough to block a defensive line. My wife went with the Tailgate Burger--a powerhouse with house-made BBQ sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, Miracle Whip, and onion straws. Cooked to medium well, it was sweet, tangy, and messy enough to require its own offensive coordinator. She said it was delicious--though maybe a little too "sloppy touchdown celebration" for her liking. And get this--burgers are just the start. The menu is huge, with pizzas, sandwiches, and even big entrees like grilled steak and pork chops. But honestly, when the burgers are this good, I don't know if I could ever call another play. So here's my verdict: Woody's Diner = Buckeye pride + killer burgers + friendly staff = one unforgettable lunch. If you're a Buckeye fan, or just a burger fan, or hey, even if you're that rare soul who just likes food with personality--high tail it to Woody's. Trust me, it's worth it. Until next time, I'm Brian -- and remember to Take the Trip! (And yes, I may have sung the Ohio State fight song all the way home. My wife can confirm.)

Large portions, great price, fresh and amazing every single time. I have eaten here several times…read more It is much better than the franchise processed food anywhere else. Keep up the good work. I would love to see your hours expanded. (My only request.) Thanks again for always providing delicious meals and excellent service.

Great food, kind waitstaff. Location is very small and waitresses are over worked. It takes a while…read moreto get a seat and get a waitress to take your order because there are not many waitresses. Took a while to get a table, get the table cleaned off and get a menu due to being under staffed. Once the waitress came to our table everything was wonderful. Very kind, helpful, knowledgeable server. Our food came out quickly and perfectly. We both ordered the skillet. It was incredible. One of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. Well prepared, delicious ingredients to make an incredibly delightful dish. The breakfast skillet was so good. The hashbrowns were perfectly cooked. The sausage gravy was flavorful and delicious. The bacon was crisp and was the perfect flavor addition. My eggs were cooked perfectly (I asked for basted-they were perfect!) Everything was incredible. The biscuits were so good. A little underdone but perhaps the was on purpose? They were really good. My son added pancakes to his order. They looked a little overly done, but tasted good. Portion size was huge. Ambiance was very mom and pop shop---very close quarters. Only one small restroom. Great restaurant with excellent food!!! Just know what you're getting into. Probably not very handicapped accessible due to stairs and small restroom and tight quarters, but delicious food with kind waitstaff. Go for the food, not the ambience.

Don's Downtown Diner - Portobello burger

After hearing so many good things about Don's Downtown Diner in Bellefontaine, we finally made it…read morein--and I'm glad we did! This super cute little diner is family-owned and operated, and from the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. We had the pleasure of meeting Tania and her granddaughter Maddy, who were both incredibly friendly and genuinely excited that we stopped by. The diner is absolutely oozing with personality. It feels like you're visiting family... if family charged you for a great hamburger! I ordered the Body Bearded Burger, a smash burger topped with your choice of cheese, crispy bacon, peanut butter, and the option to add jelly for just 99 cents. They offer grape or strawberry jelly, and of course I had to try it. All burgers come with fresh-cut fries, though you can upgrade to onion rings for a small additional charge. The burger was outstanding. Cooked perfectly on the griddle and served on a nicely toasted bun, every bite was packed with flavor. The peanut butter added a rich, nutty taste, the bacon brought a salty crunch, and the jelly added just the right touch of sweetness. It sounds like an unusual combination, but trust me--it works incredibly well. The fresh-cut fries were a great side, and the whole meal felt like classic diner comfort food done right. If you're anywhere near Bellefontaine, do yourself a favor and stop by Don's Downtown Diner. Great food, great people, and the kind of hometown atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find.

Stopped here today for lunch. We had tried two times in the past but they were closed both times…read more We were hoping the 3rd time was a charm and it was! This was a cute family owned restaurant. We met the owner Tanya and her granddaughter Maddie. Both were super nice and told us a lot about the customers, the history of the place and the food everyone loves! We came for their fresh local meat hamburgers. I got the portobello burger. It had swiss cheese, fried portobello mushrooms, and horseradish sauce. I opted to not get the horseradish sauce. The burger came with handcut fries that were hot and fresh. The burger was hot and tasted very good. This is a very family friendly place that serves good home cooked food. I highly recommend coming here and make sure you talk to Tanya. She is super friendly! You will really like her and the food is GOOD!! Take a walk downtown after you eat. Bellfontaine is a super cute town with quant shops!
