The noodles had chili oil and cheddar-infused pork broth, Japanese fried chicken, bok choy, fresh corn, scallions, pickled bamboo, grated Parmesan, and black garlic oil. I really enjoyed the fried chicken and the cheese pull that the noodles had. The service was decent. I wouldn't say its anything to cry home about - at both the bar and the restaurant - but the staff was pleasant. I will say I was a bit concerned regarding the food safety at the Noods Bar. I noticed that none of the people preparing food were wearing gloves or a hair net. In fact, the young lady who took my order at the register was processing basil without gloves. What I found most alarming was when the time came for me to order, she simply put the basil to the side for a moment - took my order by touching the ipad and took my card for payment - and went right back to the basil without washing her hands.

It wasn't too busy when we arrived and got complimentary valet. We were seated right away at this cool four top table connected to the end of the bar. The lighting and ambiance felt upscale and moody. The menu is varied with some really interesting-sounding drinks. I ordered the mi loquita: tequila, blackberry liqueur, house-made hot honey shrub, acidified pineapple. They have some snacks and this bar is attached to Dozo where we had omakase reservations later. We got some of the furikake chex mix, which was a bit sweet and spicy. I loved it! Our drinks were very nice and balanced, and quite tasty. Signature cocktails range from $13-$16 which seemed normal for this type of spot.

There are more pinball machines here than anywhere else, and they are mostly brand new, top of the line editions. All of the machines are well maintained, and usually work perfectly. On the rare occasion when there is a problem with a machine, there is usually a staff member available who can fix it promptly, or at least give you a free game on a different machine. Their use of RFID cards for payment is definitely more convenient than most of the other arcades, which require dollar bills (or even quarters, in some cases). For those who aren't into pinball, there are also a number of other games (claw machines, etc.), making Level Up a great destination for the whole family. Definitely recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Red Carpet Tavern, and despite a few hiccups, the experience was genuinely enjoyable. I opted for the Corned Beef Hash, which was a delightful medley of cubed corned beef, potatoes, peppers, and onions, all served with two eggs any style and toast. My meal arrived piping hot, and the scrambled eggs were nothing short of perfect--fluffy and cooked just right. My husband chose the Drunken Chicken Biscuit, a tantalizing dish featuring a chicken biscuit smothered in creamy sausage gravy and accompanied by home fries. The flavors were excellent and left us both quite satisfied. Though the food was fantastic, the wait time was noticeably long. With only two servers on the floor, it was clear they were doing their best to manage the busy crowd, and they truly shone in their efforts. The kitchen seemed to be struggling timewise with the new breakfast menu, but I have no doubt that things will smooth out as they get more accustomed to it. Overall, The Red Carpet Tavern is definitely worth a visit, and I look forward to returning to see how they've fine-tuned their operations. The quality of the food and the dedication of the staff made our meal enjoyable, and I'm optimistic that future visits will come with improved service speed. read more

Nice little neighborhood bar. You can tell there are plenty of regulars, but even a my first visit I felt very welcome. The menu is pretty standard bar food, but some of the "house made" items are really fantastic. The prime rib sandwich is good and the fish is really tasty. There's homemade soup. I especially like the garlic salad, it reminds me of the old Dominics house salad, makes you stink for a day. The rest is pretty much deep fried frozen stuff in my opinion. Drinks are cheap enough, bar is clean. Bartenders and other patrons are very friendly. I wouldn't hang there all the time, but I do enjoy it once a month or so. read more

Service was incredible but the food did not cut it…read more Hummus was "American style" and very dry. Pits was not even slightly browned. Chicken wings ordered dry came breaded. There weren't bad. The burger is a premade patty like you used to get in the school cafeteria. Not worth the money what so ever. Best part of the meal was the martini and that is cold vodka in a glass. This is basic, "ok" bar food for people who don't know what good is. Three stars for service

We started with the pizza bread. You could taste the metallic, frozen then thawed taste. The wings were decent. You can tell they add garlic to the sauce. They are crispy but not memorable. The broasted chicken with wedges wasn't consumable. At first glance, the skin was crispy and chicken looked juicy. When taking a bite, there was the strangest aftertaste. I'm guessing it's the fry oil, but can't be sure. The butter for the roll tasted rancid. Service was good. Server kept our drinks (soda) refilled and was very pleasant.

Little did we know upon entering, we hit the jackpot when choosing Slyder's beyond the high ratings they've received. For a Thursday night this little place was crazy busy!! It's comfortable inside with a back room for overflow. We soon found out why it was so a buzz. Great food, great service and Joe, who's probably the most personable and sincere owner I've ever come across, who shared some great stories. The icing on the cake was finding out he briefly lived near us in central NC. It really is a small world! I had a delicious reuben sandwich with perfectly grilled bread. My spouse had been craving a BLT and this one hit the mark. A generous order of fries rounded it all out. Good food aside, Joe was the highlight. He was happy to share some info about sites to see in Dayton, for future reference, a city he clearly loves. When we were leaving we looked for him to thank him and say goodbye, but didn't see him. To our surprise he suddenly appeared out the front door to chat with us a bit further. This was a first. To feel so welcomed by an owner, esp given how busy they were. It really made an impression on us. The next time we're in town stopping here is an absolute must! Many thanks, Joe, for your hospitality!

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.
