Deserves an Update…read more Hasty Tasty reminds us of numerous western cafes in small western towns as we tour the west. Something inherent about the menu and the food that escapes cafes nearer home. Recommend dress code: jeans and T shirt, and that is fine.... I predict that my dear wife will have the veggie omlet, and she does - great choice. I hold out for the chicken fried steak and eggs - delicious. Prices are outstanding. Beware of bottleneck at front door ... not much of a problem.

The restaurant is quite attractive and well-maintained. Eschewing the buffet, I ordered the American breakfast combo off of the menu. Two eggs, sausage, ham, bacon, or Canadian bacon, a large mound of crispy and quite tasty hash browns, and a bread of choice. I went with two eggs over medium, sausage links, the delicious hash browns, a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese, and four sausage links. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were so generous that I could only eat half. It comes with coffee at no additional charge and the server left an individual carafe at my table so that I could manage my own refills. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone living or traveling to Dayton.

However the chairs were so hard and not comfortable all night. The menu had a lot of various offerings. We went with a mocktail and spinach, lobster, artichoke dip to start. They were good but I would have preferred the naan bread served warm with the dip instead of cold. We went with short rib risotto for our main. It was tender meat but a lot of mushroom sauce. And the risotto was underwhelming and not well seasoned and pretty bland. Server was friendly but it was so slow all night. We waited for 20 minutes for our bill after we were done eating. Not sure I'd be back for lunch/dinner but maybe would try their brunch offerings.

It's like stepping back in time with the chairs tables and wraparound counter and decorations. Just come on and sit awhile it seems to be saying. I didn't take pictures so I'll describe our food. We ordered the hotshot, gravy and biscuits and bacon cheeseburger with fries. The coleslaw is awesome, the hotshot was loaded down with gravy and mashed potatoes and beef. My bacon cheeseburger was definitely the best I had had in long time. Plenty of hot fries and my Dads breakfast was quite to his likin. Eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits and home fries. It was nice eating there with my parents, relaxing after a morning of Doctors appointments. Ps, our waitress was GREAT! She was doing it all by herself. Waitressing, checking people out refilled our drinks all without missing a beat!!

It is a joy to watch her hustle and keep ALL the balls in the air. My veggie omelette? Barely okay. Way too much cheese and not enough veggies. The fried potatoes were not worth the $2(?) up charge - small portion and waaay overcooked. I ordered dry rye toast and was served dry wheat toast. Sigh ... The dining room is olde and tired and has a 1960 vibe in that it is an original 1960 venue and never been updated. It is sufficiently clean; unlike the men's room. I sat at the counter and was invited to join the conversation about everything and nothing. I felt welcomed. Will I return? Maybe ... I am curious about their lunch menu.

He's a picky eater and he found the food very good, he even loved the bacon on my plate. I thought the sausage and potatoes were good, but the scrambled eggs didn't taste very eggy. Service varied by staff, 2 that waited on our table were great another that seated us left a little to be desired. Overall good experience and good food. Definitely recommend eating here.

We were a little confused when we came in because the server at the podium didn't really communicate with us and we thought based on a few grunted words we were to follow him. But then the hostess showed up and said "I can help you". Aside from that weird interaction, everything here was solid. Our food came fast and my hangry son's mood shifted after he got some food in his stomach. I also had the seasonal raspberry/peach Bellini. It was good too. It had raspberry liquor, sparkling wine, and peach puree. Cheers!

Then a few nights ago we enjoyed their food at the Diced in Dayton charity event and loved it so much, we voted for them to win! Also that dish is what got us to drive from Springboro to finally check out their restaurant. We were greeted as we walked in and told the menu board was on the wall to our left and then we could order at the counter. (I have to say the flipping around the screen for you to add a tip is maddening when we got our own drinks from the cooler, seated ourselves, the napkins and silverware were in a container on the table. The only actual service was someone walking our food out to us. End rant.) The restaurant is bigger than the photos look online. We ate inside but they also have a nice patio. We split the wonton nachos and the drip burger, the kitchen cut the burger in two and brought it out on two trays, which was nice. Both were very tasty! We actually couldn't finish the nachos but kept picking at it after we were "done" because it was so good. And they had Fresca which was a blast from the past! I'm sure we'll be back soon and try some of the other dishes.

The space is authentic, pure mom n pop personality with unique and cozy decor that you could tell the place was formally a house converted into a cafe. No corporate vibes here The food tasted fresh with generous portions and absolutely delicious. Had a Maryland style crab cake sandwich with an aioli sauce that balanced out the favors. Crab cake had a nice crunch in the outside while the crab meat was moist on the inside. My wife had the Paris omelette that had caramelized onions, mushrooms, goat cheese, and she added jalapenos. Also had some creamy potatoes that was almost like they boiled the potatoes to make them soft followed frying them for some crunch effect. Nice touch The service was sincerely friendly as well. We'll be back for sure!
