    I always keep hearing about Dayton's whenever I talk to my family and friends on the shore so it was only right that I check it out for myself. I had a good experience. The service was 10/10 - Sam was awesome and full of good energy. I ordered the stuffed flounder with crab imperial, candied yams and greens. It comes with a side of cornbread. The flounder was SO good! As for the sides, the greens were good -- I wasn't a fan of the cornbread and yams -- I guess I'm very picky on those lol. I tasted the crab cake and fried chicken and get the hype. I should've ordered some chicken to go but it was closing time and it was probably good that I didn't. The menu has plenty of options to choose from, the portions are nice and the prices are affordable! They have daily specials as well. I will definitely come back to check out their breakfast.

    Every USA town I've been to has a non-chain family restaurant the locals return to and recommend visitors to. Dayton's is one of those places. The ambiance was as expected, busy, but not too noisy to talk normally with friends. The dining area was clean as was the well-stocked restroom. Our server was professional, and in our case very pleasant. Our order was delivered complete and IMO quickly. Three chicken thighs, French fried potatoes, and candied yams - a winner! Fried clam strips and onion rings - Meh. Turkey Club - Huge and excellent. Coconut Pie and Lemon Pie - a nice ending This casual place is a safe bet for lunch for friends and family. Three lunches and three desserts with drinks totaled a bit over $50. This IMO was an excellent value.

    Had the hungrymans breakfast this time. I got 2 pieces of scrapple, 3 eggs and 3 pancakes. It was pretty good and filling. Great price too.

    Absolutely a gem. This is not our first time here but we decided to go today because the lunch special prices were incredible. As you can see the portions are huge! Our waitress was so sweet and the establishment gives off an old time diner. Be careful of some dishes if you are trying to avoid pork, as it seems most vegetables include some sort of pork whether it's the broth or pieces. The food was absolutely delicious but a little cold. I did sample a fried chicken wing and I ate it so fast I forgot to Snap a photo. Come give Dayton's a try!

    7/17/24, I will admit the 'quality of food is EXCELLENT. The quantity of food is AWESOME, totally fulfilling. The staff is totally amazing, customer friendly and knowledgeable--always smiling. Each and every time I go here--carry-outs are very continuous--so you know it's good! I recommend ( Dayton's ) to anyone!!

    This place has the best home style cooking around! Anytime I'm in town I make sure to stop by and get their specials, especially soft shell crabs and the fried chicken, the batter and seasoning they use is perfect. It's always crispy and needs nothing else. I recently discover the coconut meringue and wow!! I almost don't want to tell you about it so next time I go there will be a slice for me! Yes, it's that good and I'm not a coconut person! Overall everything here has been amazing! The service is great, they greet you and make you feel welcomed! There are always busy so make sure you get in early or give yourself a little time, but it's such an amazing welcoming place.

    My usual- creamed chipped beef served over home fries, no toast. Always accompanied by fresh-brewed unsweet iced tea.

    This is my weekly breakfast spot. I literally feel like I am cheating if I go anywhere else for breakfast unless I am traveling. The restaurant is a great local place with a good representation of all types of people, getting together to enjoy their meals together. Lunch and dinner feature good home-cooking choices and the fried chicken is a specialty. I often go for the hot roast beef with fries and gravy all over. You never leave hungry no matter what meal you are here for!

    Food: Turkey Turnover, Pork Chop, egg rolls, ice tea and water totaled $54.54 plus tip. All dishes…read moreas described and expected. Portions were on the large side so we had leftovers for a full takeaway meal. The egg rolls were new to us - corned beef dipped in a mustard sauce was an unusual, yet pleasant appetizer. They arrived hot with the interior cheese melted. Good. Side of broccoli was cooked to a soft texture - this is normal in many restaurants, yet I prefer crunchy raw so will ask for that next time. Service: Emily appeared frequently enough so we did not feel neglected. She's obviously experienced as we observed her navigating an increasingly busy clientele. Surprised for being after normal lunch time - 1:00 PM. She seemed to agree with our menu choices by sayiing "Good Choice." on our selections, Ambiance: Decor reminiscent of an Irish pub. It's NOT a college-student hangout by appearances and Emily's description. Surprising given how close this place is to the University. Tables and chairs, and booths appeared clean. Restroom was accessible, clean and well supplied. Mix of background music from Billy Joel to Irish titles. Ample free parking in front lot. Overall, a top rating due to a surprisingly pleasant experience offering unique to Salisbury food and atmosphere. Few notes: 1. Backs of booths are shared. Thus, you can feel neighboring diner shifting seats or leaning back. Like a kid kicking your airplaine seat back behind you, it's a minor irritation IF done once or twice. 2. Female servers need not wear minikilts and shorts to attract business in my opinion. Their uniform, if required, brings into question whether it's a family place. Regular length kilts would add suitable authentic atmosphere IMO.

    Always enjoy the Irish Penny. Love the Irish egg rolls and the fried pickles. The pickle shots…read moreare really good too.
