    This place is a hidden gem. Their food was incredible, presented nicely, great/quick service, and the place is super nice and clean. It gives a nostalgic and metallic feel. Full nice bar and sports playing on the TV. I met my family 75% of the way between Columbus and Cincinnati and this was the perfect spot. Can't wait to come back!!

    Steak nachos

    The restaurant is wonderfully themed to a local large trucking organization. I stopped in for dinner. The star of the meal had to be the amazingly efficient and delightful waitress who made sure to communicate well throughout the meal. The chili was the star of the evening followed closely by the delicious hot chicken on the Mac and cheese. The menu outside the restaurant stated the dish also contained fried pickles which were missing both from the interior menu and the dish, however they were not necessary. The nachos were extremely cold, the steak was cooked well on top but was also quite cold. Possibly using beer cheese resulted in lowering the temperature of the dish quickly on the way to the table but it was still a wonderful meal.

    The Nashville Sandwich
    Ed P.

    There aren't a lot of great places to stop, sit down, and have a nice meal between Cincinnati and Columbus. My family and I recently discovered Ralph's American Grill, about halfway along the 100-mile drive between the two cities. They are a self-proclaimed tribute to the trucking industry and feature decor reflecting the area's rich history in transportation, including the nearby R+L Carriers. For my meal, I opted for the Nashville sandwich, with a spicy fried chicken breast, coleslaw, pickle, and mayo on a toasted bun ($13.95 with choice of side). The coleslaw was particularly good I thought, and the chicken was well seasoned and not overly spicy. My wife had the paramount pulled pork sandwich topped with BBQ sauce, coleslaw, cheddar cheese, and fried onions on Texas toast ($13.95 with choice of side). This was also a pretty good sandwich, though quite messy. My kids sampled the Mack (truck) & cheese ($4.99) and the Bavarian-style pretzels with beer cheese, honey mustard, and everything cream cheese dip ($9.95). They also have a nice beer list featuring beers from Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus.

    Mushroom Madness burger - perfect medium cook

    Dined here again this past weekend with a party of 9 (location wasn't our decision). Have to say the service was much better. Water glass was kept full and appetizers were brought out quickly with individual plates. Ordered the turkey reuben. Flavor was okay. I liked the marbled rye but husband prefers dark rye or pumpernickel. Fries were as good as the previous visit, appreciate the consistency.

    Yelp considers 3-stars Okay. This is a 2.5 Star review; almost okay. I tried to order a non-alcoholic beer, cheeseburger and side salad. - Non-alcoholic beers are not stocked, so I drank water. - It took 18 minutes to deliver a side salad. The ingredients were fresh, but smashed absolutely flat in the bowl as-if books had been placed on top of it. - My burger arrived ~25 minutes after ordering, looking very good. I ordered medium rare, it arrived well done. Poor beef flavor. Weird, mealy mouth feel. Perhaps I was served a vegan burger? - Although Ralph's is attached to the hotel, it is not possible to bill a meal to the hotel room. - The poor guy seated at the same time, next to me ... waited 36 minutes for salmon. The waiter and someone from the back kept apologizing for the delay, explaining that salmon takes a long time to cook. No, it does not ... - Stools at the bar were made in a metal fab shop - not kidding. Very, very heavy and difficult to move. Will I return? Very unlikely.

    What a cool place... This is a cool place with an R and L trucking/NASCAR themed interior. The service is okish. This place is a hotel restaurant. they had a buffet that did not look good, so I opted for their Nashville chicken sandwich with fries, which was good. This was a decent place to stop between Cincinnati and Columbus off 71...

    I have no idea what happened to the pics of my burger and tater tots. While driving back fro the Columbus area my BFF and I pulled in for lunch. There was a convention going on next door so parking was tight. But we got lucky and found one close. We went it to be greeted then heading toward a table. We stopped when the greeter realized that the table we were going to was not available and turned around to a table we already passed. We sat down and a fun happy person came out to offer us drinks. We both got water. When the water was brought out we decided on splitting a burger and fries and also ordered the "Lug Nuts" tator tots filled with cheese and bacon. We waited for a few and a server brought a burger and asked if it was ours. It was not. Then they left. I seen this happen a couple of times then our lug nuts came out. They were good but not as good as I hoped. I would order them again, but would try other items first. Then I seen what I thought was our burger but as seemed the trend it was taken to a couple other tables first. Then back to the kitchen. Our waiter came out and I mentioned this and they went to check on our food. Seconds later our burger came out. It was very tasty. Maybe a little over cooked. We ordered it medium and it tasted well done. So next time I will order medium rare and hope it doesn't go the other way. I prefer medium rare but I have been to several places that under cook. So. The place was very clean and even the bath rooms were clean. I would come back if traveling between Cincinnati and Columbus.

    FOOD -- (2 stars because of the Broccolini and 3 stars for the chicken sandwich). I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich which comes with coleslaw inside the bun but I got the coleslaw on the side. I also ordered a side of broccolini. The chicken sandwich was fine. It had too much mayo on the bun and if I knew it came with mayo, I would have asked for it on the side. The Broccolini was underwhelming which sucked because I was really craving vegetables on that day. It had a very weird taste to it that is hard to describe. It just didn't taste right and I could barely eat one stalk of broccoli. It almost tasted bitter too. Overall, I'm sure they have other better menu options but I won't be back for the particular dish that I ordered. SERVICE -- I got a takeout order but service was good. The hostess was friendly upon arrival. AMBIANCE -- This is a medium-sized restaurant and bar that is attached to the Holiday Inn hotel in Wilmington, Ohio. Thus, it is in a very convenient location for hotel guests. **** - 38/150 total reviews in 2023 - 589 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 25 March 2023

    Chicken and Waffles
    Shawn O.

    Enjoyed a couple breakfast meals and a dinner while in town. The R+L team has done a really great job creating a welcoming space with all sorts of memorabilia to walk around & experience, when you're not enjoying a great meal or a casual drink at the bar. All of the staff was very friendly and made each visit a pleasure! Enjoyed the Chicken & Waffle breakfast along with the Biscuits and Gravy. The waffle meal was better in my opinion, also quite a bit to eat with two large pieces of crispy chicken on top of a large waffle. The biscuits meal was good too with two biscuits served open faced under two eggs cooked to your liking, and country potatoes covered in sausage & white gravy. Very hearty, very tasty, very good! Oh yeah, LOTS of coffee with these meals too!!! For the group dinner, I opted for patty melt and fries and I was not disappointed. The group shared some desserts to wrap up a great meal. Buckeye Pie (chocolate & peanut butter), Bread pudding and a huge slab of Carrot Cake (my favorite of the three). If you're in the Wilmington area - drop by Ralph's, you won't be disappointed!

    My bff and I came here on the way home from a trip. We were very tired and hungry. Our server was very nice and offered great suggestions but she was the only one that seemed happy to be working. The person bringing out the food kept offering us someone else's food and then couldn't find us when our food was ready. The food was good but the burger tasted like it wasn't made in house. All in all, a good meal for hungry travelers!

    Review of the Lower the Bar "speakeasy" located underneath Entropy Brewing. I only went downstairs…read moreto Lower the Bar, and I did not try any food. Things to Note: -The exterior stairs were locked when we came. There's another set of stairs within Entropy itself. -I did not see an elevator to make it into this basement speakeasy. There is an outdoor and indoor set of stairs. -There is a single unisex restroom downstairs with the speakeasy. It's a tight fit, but it exists. If you need more space, there are a lot more bathrooms upstairs. -Good variety of seating from booths, low top tables, a few bar high top chairs, and a table with high top chairs. -It is DARK down here. Our eyes took some readjusting to the sunlight when we left. If you struggle with lower light areas, this may be too dark. They went for the "super dark, lit by table lights only" vibe here. -There was live music when we came. The music is a bit loud downstairs, and I wouldn't call the acoustics great, but the band themselves were fantastic and energetic. Very friendly and had a great vibe for the space. Our bartender, Hank, was fantastic, though. Absolutely MADE the experience, and Entropy is lucky to have him. Super friendly guy who understands the balance between too much talking and giving you some space. His drinks were well-poured and very balanced. This includes when he had some deadtime and offered to make us drinks if we just let him know what spirit and flavor profile we were thinking. The drinks were delicious and, again, very well-balanced. Hank could probably work quite a bit more magic with a larger spirits selection, but he was very good at what he did. We had a great time, and we'd definitely return. I'm not sure the return visit would be nearly as amazing without Hank though. He really made the entire experience a memorable one that we'll look back on instead of just a "solidly okay speakeasy".

    We like this brewhouse in Miamisburg. Across from the Plaza theater. Good beers.... Do a…read moreflight.... Their Viking Project hazy IPA is back on tap. Parking on the street. They do have food in house.
