wet burrito ... must have crack in it cause its addicting
Libby V.

Two words...wet burrito. These are so damn addicting I suspect they have crack in them. My son didn't believe me, so I showed him today. I get the shredded beef with a side of sour cream. Next time I need to remember to ask for extra sour cream...this little paper cup does not quite cut it. Don't worry if you don't want shredded beef...they have chicken, pork and ground beef as well. I get the Mini Wet Burrito cause I can't eat the regular portion it's so big. I doubt anyone could. Staff is always helpful...they even made a virgin margarita for the little one. Even had whipped cream and a cherry. Of course there's a bar, and they're famous for their Bad Juans. It's very strong. You can even get a shirt that say's "I got a BJ at Elsa's." I didn't buy one, but I could have. So if you're craving good Mexican you want to come here. It's so worth it. If you're into mediocre Mexican, drive thru the Border. But no Bad Juans for you. Just sayin.

Disgusting, burnt beef
Jarvis W.

DISGUSTING!!!!! This used to be one of my favorite places for TexMex but I will not be returning after tonight. I ordered a burrito which was served to me with a long, dried string of burnt beef hanging from the front of the burrito and dangling off of the plate. The rest of the beef (inside the burrito) was burnt to the point of being charred - and it was dry and rubbery. It was not edible and frankly I would not have fed this to a New York City subway rat! My dining companion ordered chicken fajitas which featured a generous helping of brown guacamole which looked like a pile of cat vomit. I asked the manager if he would eat such food. He replied "um, no." I asked then why such disgusting food was allowed to be plated, sent from the kitchen and served to a customer. "I dunno" was his reply. We left the restaurant immediately and ate elsewhere. (It also took a really long time for this disgusting food to be served...) DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!

Tonight visited TJ Chumps catching up with friends. You seat yourself, we were greeted right away,…read moregiven menus & our waitress took drink orders. They have a great selection of food on the menu, so was just right for our group. I enjoyed the buffalo chicken wrap with blue cheese dressing and loaded mashed potatoes, others in our group enjoyed wings, soup & salad, salmon sandwich and chicken quesadillas. Our food was served hot from the oven & was so good. Great service, and our waitress filled our soda, tea & water several times. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

The restaurant is located in a strip mall area off of Stroop road. It's near the Vapor Haus vape shop and the Speedway gas station that sits at the corner of Stroop and Marshall Rd. If you pass that Speedway, you've gone too far. Inside, the restaurant has a typical sports bar vibe. It's well lit, clean but nothing spectacular. The menu does offer a variety of choices. Service is really good. We were seated fast and orders were taken shortly afterwards. I got the fish and chips. The deep fried fish was good but average in my opinion. The fries were tasty. It satisfied my hunger but it was just average to me. My girlfriend got the chili bowl with jalapeño cornbread. She liked it but again felt it was average fare. The portions are pretty big but bigger doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I will probably try again but I think the burgers are a better option than the fish and chips. There was a decent sized crowd here, so TJ Chumps is doing something right. I'd like to try some of their other menu choices. I recommend. The service is good and the wait crew enthusiastic.

So first off, in my opinion, there's nothing better than a neighborhood bar with cold beer and a…read moregood burger. We met our kids in Dayton, which is about a halfway point for us each, for lunch this Saturday. We'd been wanting a good burger so I started looking for options and when I saw this place it was a no brainer. Slyders did not disappoint! The burgers are done on a flat top that's probably been in their kitchen since they opened in 1948. Talk about flavor!! The burger is good quality, tender, and full of great beef flavor, cranked out on that flat top to a crispy brown exterior. Great fresh tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles and cheese make this burger oh so good!! Add a basket of perfectly fried HUGE onion rings and a cold beer, there's nothing better!! Top top it off the service was incredible. We had 3 or 4 guys stopping by checking on drinks, napkins, ect... The energy in this bar was comfortable and you felt like you were a "regular" even if you'd never stepped in the door before in your life. With big bear hugs and handshakes we left full of great food and a warm soul. Slyders is going on my "ride for a burger" list this summer on the bikes. It'll be well worth 2hr ride to get there!! .

A unique local spot. Helpful and friendly staff. I was there around 7:00pm it was full of patrons…read more Noise is above average loud. Jukebox music, normal conversation din, plus the happy drunk at the bar shouting his words. The food was above average. The "medium-well" burger contained quality meat but was dry. Next time I would add cheese. Burger toppings were fresh - lettuce, onion, pickles. The fries were good but not great. Overall four stars.

I've had Philly cheesesteaks from Submarine House before and I enjoyed them. So, I thought I would…read moregive their pizza a try. I ordered a 14" build your own pizza. I added pepperoni and black olives. Additionally, on one side I added bacon, and on the other side I added mushrooms. The pizza looked presentable but I had a hard time distinguishing one side from the other. The toppings did not appear to be distributed properly. Also, there was barely any bacon on it. I didn't like the crust. It had no real flavor and the texture was off. Finally, this was a very dry pizza and could have used more sauce. I've ordered pizzas in a lot of places in the area but this is one of the worst in my opinion. I guess if you want a pizza, best to stick with a pizza restaurant. This was not a good experience! Not recommended.

Cool new location…read more The new SMH has been in Kettering for a few years now... Really nice location and still the same great cheesesteaks. The service was really good too and they were busy when we stopped in... Sat at the bar and the bar tender was all over it. The only knock was they're definitely trying to cut corners with their cheesesteaks (presumably to save money because Ole Corn Pop has effed the U.S. economy like a Vegas hooker), as they didn't stuff the sandwich like they used to... The bread was only bout 1/2 full, so that was disappointing. The cheesesteaks were still outstanding though.
