I sat at the counter and ordered a patty melt w/side of coleslaw. The water and menu arrived promptly, as did my food. Price? $17 including tip. Unlike the greasy mess that is the typical patty melt, this one was dry. All the expected ingredients were present, but how did they manage to make it so dry. Frankly, I was craving a little bit of a mess, but no objections. The beef flavor was good. The cheese was fully melted. I do wish the onions were a bit more caramelized. I will admit to being intrigued by the pistachio cake. I almost ordered a slice, but that was too much green food dye for me. Will I return? Yes.

I am obsessed with this local coffee shop! Everytime I come to Dayton, I take the opportunity to…read morework from here at least one day! The decor has changed since the last time I visited (more moody & cozy color scheme) but it still is and always has been a vibe!!! On my most recent visit I got an iced vanilla matcha with oat milk and an avocado "toast". The matcha was well blended and balanced between the matcha and vanilla flavor. My toast came out as a croissant piled high with fresh avocado, pickled onions, blistered tomatoes, micro greens and everything seasoning! So filling and delicious! I originally sat at a high top table in the front so I could eat and work easier at the same time but eventually moved to the low table conversation area in the back when I needed an outlet (the tall tables in the front by outlets were all taken). I also noticed that on wednesdays-sundays the shop is open until11p and that there are daily happy hour specials from 4-6p with drink and dip specials! Would love to come back one day to check this out! Definitely check out MidDay if you are in the area looking for somewhere to relax, catch up with a friend, work (be mindful of finding an outlet), or go on a date.... And yes I saw people doing all of these during the hours I was there!

We got deluxe burgers and kids meals. The burgers are really good! Smash burger style and seasoned crinkle cut fries. We honestly inhaled our burgers and my husband wished he got 2. My only complaint is that the inside is HOT. I'm not sure if it was just hot today because maybe there were some AC troubles but it was pretty miserable in there. I felt bad for the employees who, again, were very nice having to work in that heat. Kudos to them because I personally don't know how they do/did it. Anyway, highly recommend!

I got here during a lull and found a six-top in a corner. I ordered a pint of their Fly Light and a basket of "spicy" pork rinds. The beer was excellent, the pork rinds disappeared which clearly means they were tasty. It's a really nice spot. It's very "warehouse" with high ceilings, exposed concrete and cinder block. The big open space makes the noise more muted than it might have been in a smaller space. I enjoyed my time and I might have stayed longer if there was a seat with a power outlet at a table rather than at the bar. [Review 776 of 2026 - 308 in Ohio - 25957 overall]

First impression? It definitely gives off biker bar vibes from the outside, but once you step inside, it's way more welcoming and laid back than you'd expect. Good atmosphere, friendly people, and the kind of place that feels like a hidden local favorite. I ordered the Biker Burger, and it absolutely delivered. The burger was juicy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and packed with great taste in every bite. You can tell they care more about making good food than trying to be fancy. If you're making the trip to Buc-ee's and want something local instead of chain fast food, Rip Rap Roadhouse is definitely worth the stop. Great burger, cool atmosphere, and one of those places you're happy you discovered by accident.

Classic tavern setting but great outside deck & patio. Room for live music and both bar & restaurant seating. Service is casual and friendly but efficient and smooth.

First impressions/ dive bar? Is this the place? Second impression/ my favorite burger and drink bar in the area, hands down. Service isn't always quick, they are busy- but I sit at the bar and enjoy another drink and leave with a full belly, and happy. What a great place. If I lived closer I'd be there once a week. I see children there but it's mostly adults. Good place.

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.

My friend ordered their breakfast their Double Pancakes, that comes with Egg and choice of meat. I love their open style kitchen to see everything that is going on and talk to the chef. Don't let the outside of the building fool you from coming in. This diner is quaint, charming, and a lot of TLC from the staff all the way down to the food. Kisses to the chef for the wonderful delicious meal as well! Many locals were coming in and out, so it's definitely a great hot spot for breakfast and lunch! I can't wait to go back again with my friend when visiting!

The dining room itself was very small, a single picnic table, and they had a large industrial stand fan running in one corner. It was warm but the fan brought it to the perfect temperature. The food is unbelievably good. I had their chicken sandwich with a side of fries, and you could tell that everything was made fresh from scratch. My friend had the chicken quesadilla and it was so huge and delicious he had to stop himself from eating the entire thing! While we were waiting, we got to see some of the other foods being made. They made their pancakes from scratch - not from a mix! I'm definitely going to come back next time I'm in town!

The food here truly is delicious, but how the business conducts itself was leaving much to be…read moredesired from top to bottom. Traveling through the area, was looking for a breakfast/brunch spot on our way out of town and first and when 6 people walked in, the entire vibe shifted in the place. We were told that they only do online orders and pick up basically, but we were in a tour a van and did not want to eat eggs on a 90 degree day in a hot van, we asked if we could sit, and they said "no problem." But then it became a problem. The two working here decided to start playing very loud grime/trap music while sat there as they made our food. They increased the volume of every track and even as the orders came out, kept turning up the music. After they said we could eat in the shop, they continually raised the volume on the music to an unbearable point, even clocked the one of the chefs going to the ipad to raise the mix even further, and we all ended up taking to go. I get it. You don't want people in the shop. You don't have bathrooms, theres not a ton of seating, and this is a cool stoner delivery spot. But everyone, including myself, tipped the workers on the orders and just tried to have a quick bite so we thought it wouldn't be a problem to eat and be on our way. It was so obvious that these workers do not want people in their store or for diners to enjoy themselves there. Again, the food was really good, but I didn't want to eat it in a tour van. I know that may be selfish of me, the customer, to want a place to eat something with gravy and eggs, and not in a steamy enclosed vehicle, but wow, it was so obvious that we were not allowed to be in there from the vibe. Not to mention, one of the folks in my party clocked that 2 cops were outside rummaging through the trash - so not a great look on this restaurant or neighborhood. The food was so good it still gets 3 stars from me, but I will be ordering on line for pick up next time.
