Get something fried! Their batter is unbelievable!…read more We took two out-of-town couples there for lunch as it's my favorite place in Yellow Springs and one of my favorite in the entire Dayton area. We sat at the bar and Victoria's service was over the top! She was very friendly, funny, and chatty even though she was very busy and the place was hopping. One of our friends mentioned wanting to buy buckeye candies and she told us about a place across the street that sometimes carried them. A few minutes later, she came back and told us she'd called them and confirmed they were in stock! Over and above customer service. But the food...amazing as usual. I love the pub food with a German theme. Several of us had the Bratwurst Reuben and it was delicious. I told everyone they had to order something fried because Trails' batter is some of the best I've ever tasted. The onion rings didn't disappoint. Our friends were very impressed with the place, as were we!

I always enjoy coming to Ellie's and supporting this wonderful little spot in Yellow Springs. The…read morepeople are so friendly, and there's something special about the welcoming feel of this town. I started with an espresso martini before my Benedict Your Way with smoked salmon, and it was so good that I had to have another one after my meal! Smooth, delicious, and the perfect way to bookend a great breakfast. And then there was the Benedict. I substituted the English muffin for a biscuit, added smoked salmon, and asked for extra hollandaise. Life changing. The biscuit was such a delicious upgrade with the smoked salmon, eggs, and that rich, creamy hollandaise. I honestly didn't want the meal to end. But the real finale was the crème brûlée. Absolutely perfect. The caramelized sugar on top had that beautiful crisp crack when I broke into it, while the custard underneath was silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just rich enough, and the contrast between the delicate caramelized topping and smooth custard was exactly what a great crème brûlée should be. Paired with my last espresso martini, it was an incredibly satisfying way to finish the meal. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd love to see a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options on the menu. Otherwise, Ellie's is a lovely place with genuinely friendly people, great food and drinks, and that warm Yellow Springs charm. I'm happy to support them and will definitely be back!

It's connected to the Roberts Centre and so is very convenient, especially during this hot and humid day. You don't even need to walk outdoors,, which is a huge relief because the heat outside was hitting us like the Human Torch's Nova blasts tbh. We were instantly seated at a quiet and comfy booth. The restaurant is very modern and spacious. Like Iron Man's tech and Stark Tower (okay, maybe not as tall). It has an automobile theme to it, so it's really fun! It honestly felt like we were just chilling right inside Tony Stark's personal garage with all his flashy cars. Lindsay was our server and was extremely friendly and fast and efficient. She checked on it us a couple of times and even had the check ready to go when our meals were served. She was basically zooming around the tables faster than Quicksilver. That's a good sign that the restaurant understands how busy conference goers can be. Of course, that was not to rush us at all, but it can always save time when you're going to be busy con conventions. She really had that Captain America level of tactical planning to keep things moving for us. I had the sirloin which was tender and moist. My partner had a fish and chips which were crispy and the fish was what's tender and flaky. Everything was cooked so perfectly it was almost like Scarlet Witch used some chaos magic in the kitchen to get the flavors exactly right. Maybe with a sprinkling of Doctor Strange magic too! Would definitely come back and may even head back later today!

I thought this place was a great find in Huber Heights. Apparently, it has been there since 2017…read morebut I have never noticed it even though it is right up the road from my in-laws' place. It is not their type of food so they would have never mentioned it. We found it recently when my wife and I were looking for a quick lunch option while on an errand. The building shape looks like it is a small hole-in-the-wall fast food place, and that's pretty much what it is. It makes sense when one considers that Victor's is designed to compete with TB. This place is clean and tidy, but quite small and relatively simple with seating for 30 - 40 people. It's more set up for take out than dine in, but you can certainly eat there if you'd like. This was apparently the fourth Dayton franchise. In the bigger picture, they have seven (7) in Ohio and four (4) in Tennessee. Hence, they are small enough to provide that friendly Mom-and-Pop quaintness without that stale corporate vibe. The menu here is a bit more extensive with homier touches compared to TB. They were relatively complete with their variety of Mexican fare and part of their offering is Mexican street food. We were there for lunch so we went a little bit to the light side with tacos. My wife had the shredded chicken tacos and I had the chorizo, egg and cheese tacos. I loved that they had the breakfast tacos as an option. The food was very good. The woman who waited on us was very pleasant and seemed quite interested in making sure we got exactly what we wanted. The prices were also quite fair as we got away with less than $10 per person with water to drink. My only small complaint was that their drinks were limited and the machine was constituted of Pepsi products, which do not suit us. We would have been happy to substitute iced tea but they did not offer it. The dining area, while relatively spartan, was certainly adequate to allow us a place to sit and eat our order. I thought this place was quite good and we would try it again for a quick meal when we're in the area. It's a tasty inexpensive option, particularly for lunch. It's very good for what it is and delivers commensurate with its purpose.

Highlight: 2 Carne Asada Soft Taco ($9.98), Horchata ($2.50)…read more Horchata tasted a bit watered down, with a hint of cinnamon. Sweet and refreshing, very light flavor. The meat is a bit seared, making it crispy and tougher to chew. Fresh veggies. Good sauce, with a kick. Hospitality: The cashier was friendly, and the food came out about 10 minutes after ordering. Honorable Mention: Small shop, limited seating indoors.
