Got an large (16oz) iced Mocha ($5.50) and a grilled veggie sandwich ($10.00) which were both very good tasting and well sized. The avocados on the sandwich were definitely fresh. Seating, wifi and power outlets are plentiful, easy to use and comforting. Note the drink pick up is self serve, but they do deliver food to the tables. Table bussing is self clean. Bottom Line: I like it here, you should stop in!

Very kind, helpful, knowledgeable server. Our food came out quickly and perfectly. We both ordered the skillet. It was incredible. One of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. Well prepared, delicious ingredients to make an incredibly delightful dish. The breakfast skillet was so good. The hashbrowns were perfectly cooked. The sausage gravy was flavorful and delicious. The bacon was crisp and was the perfect flavor addition. My eggs were cooked perfectly (I asked for basted-they were perfect!) Everything was incredible. The biscuits were so good. A little underdone but perhaps the was on purpose? They were really good. My son added pancakes to his order. They looked a little overly done, but tasted good. Portion size was huge. Ambiance was very mom and pop shop---very close quarters. Only one small restroom. Great restaurant with excellent food!!! Just know what you're getting into. Probably not very handicapped accessible due to stairs and small restroom and tight quarters, but delicious food with kind waitstaff. Go for the food, not the ambience.

Today we ordered the mixed family broasted chicken and no issue when we were told there woukd be a wait because we expect that because it is broasted. We were told when our order would be ready and we arrived a little early. Our order should be ready around 6 pm and we arrived at 5:50 pm. We phoned at 5:50 pm stating we wanted to inform them we we were ready in space 3 but were early. She stated she was bagging it up as we speak. Eleven minutes went by and no order. My husband walked in. Our order was setting there. The lady said I am not sure what happened your order is ready it has been setting there. My husband said we have been setting in spot 3 for 11 minutes waiting since we phoned and was told then she was bagging our order. She had no response and he walked out. We tipped $5 on the $30 to go order, come on now! I asked my husband to count the chicken it was all there then we drove home. The chicken was dry. In the past their broasted chicken has ALWAYS been good. This tasted old not fresh but yet it was hot however, not seasoned. The fries were as if they were at the bottom of the bag. Several small pieces versus the larger fries. I have never been served them when I have ate in their restaurant before. I thought that was odd. The coleslaw appeared to be days old. I was not impressed due to the taste of the food and lack of getting me my order on time. I will be choosing someplace else to spend by hard earned money. Too many disappointments here.

My second review. This seems to teeter on a 2 - 3 star review each time…read more Still really the only option for sit down hot food in the Dayton Airport. Today was 2 stars, mainly for staffing that impacted the rest of the experience. The the bar server was doubling down to serving the bar and dining room area. That resulted in them posting the wait to be seated sign for all seating to include the bar. The bar server did the best she could to keep things moving. The food was disappointing. I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon. It came with fries. The burger was a nice size but it was really overcooked. It was not burnt but just shy of it. The burger was dry and chewy because of the overcooking. The bacon was decent. The fries were cold and not crispy (probably because they were cold). This all could have been due to inadequate staffing in the kitchen as well. Not sure but a relatively simple meal like burger and fries becomes more difficult. Again not a lot of food options and you sometimes you have to take what you get but it is a crapshoot here for what you will get but usually seems to be in the 2 - 3 star range. A little attention to cooking quality and staffing would easily raise this to mid 3s or 4 stars.

Went for lunch today and got a 1/4 turkey toasted with double turkey and a side of their house made chips. It cost $11.50 for my meal. When I told my waittress, Rachel, that I didn't think they had put double turkey on my sandwich, she told me that all of their sandwiches have double meat on them. I questioned if one slice of turkey was double meat and she said that there are two slices. I attached a picture because this sandwich was definitely not worth the money. I go to the Troy Submarine house all the time and their sandwiches are great. This one was pathetic and $3.50 for a side of "house made chips" that most of them were too soggy to eat was just not good. Will not be returning to this location. read more

All of our food for 4 people were done wrong, they forgot some of our food didn't bother going back and getting our food fixed because that would've been another half hour of a wait. The food was very messy, 2 subs were burnt, we ordered chicken wings and somehow chicken wings mean chicken tenders apparently don't get how but it did here even though our receipt says chicken wings. 0/10 won't ever come back to this one. read more

I added pepperoni and black olives. Additionally, on one side I added bacon, and on the other side I added mushrooms. The pizza looked presentable but I had a hard time distinguishing one side from the other. The toppings did not appear to be distributed properly. Also, there was barely any bacon on it. I didn't like the crust. It had no real flavor and the texture was off. Finally, this was a very dry pizza and could have used more sauce. I've ordered pizzas in a lot of places in the area but this is one of the worst in my opinion. I guess if you want a pizza, best to stick with a pizza restaurant. This was not a good experience!
