    Buffalo chicken salad
    Michael B.

    Definitely a place where looks can be deceiving! Looking at the inside, it has a very homey, locals watering hole vibe, but the food was excellent! Their special sauce is amazing to put or dip with anything. I had the pork sandwich, which was pounded to a very thin slice, and breaded perfectly. The servers were extremely attentive, and always checked in at the perfect times. Will definitely be back!

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Sharon B.

    The food as usual was very good. We had grouper finger sandwich, quesadilla, The food here may take 30-40 minutes but as they say they are not a fast food restaurant. mushrooms and onion rings. It was a beautiful day to sit on the patio. However, there was a 4 top of very obnoxious loud young women that drank buckets of beer the whole time we were there so it was a little hard to communicate with my companion when they were so loud. The service as usual was as well good. I would recommend again and only gave 3 star this time because of the loudness of the table out on the patio. Other than that this place is always good.

    New to us place,  just down the road. Crossing fingers.

    Food good, great dive, only problem is seating. As a big boned American with bad knees high top tables are no go. So are booths. There are a couple regular tables, if you are lucky to get one. But the foods good. Priced good, big portions.

    Melissa melted my heart. She was a fantastic server. We ordered the sampler, cheese curds, old fashioned, bahama mama, and beer. The sound system is on different speakers and Melissa was able to turn off the one that was by our booth. They have a couple of games you can play...pool, darts, all star gaming machine , and a pay as you go jukebox.

    Love this place! Grilled Chicken on a pretzel bun is my favorite sandwich! Taylor's tenders and wings are also a must try! Also their house salad and ranch makes me so happy! Sometimes there is a little wait time, but I love sitting on the patio and just relaxing. Great place to hangout with friends!

    Side salad!  You shoulda seen the lasagna that followed.

    We had a fabulous b-day dinner at Cecil and Lime out on the outside porch…read more We started with the bruschetta, the tomatoes topping is sweet and peppery, delicious. Then we got salads: I got a wedge salad and Richelle got the Cecil house salad. Wonderful salads plenty of dressing. Then for dinner go big for a b-day: We got the tomahawk ribeye, from Woodruff farms, cooked perfectly medium rare by the staff. This was our first tomahawk ribeye, it's impressive and enough for two with leftovers. Blue cheese dip for the ribeye, yes; cold or hot, that's the question! Richelle got the Mac-n-cheese for a side, a good choice. For desert we had the tuxedo cake with ice cream and berry sauce. The staff put a candle in the cake and sang happy birthday to Richelle. This is a locally owned very nice GOURMET dinner restaurant, with fantastic staff and relaxed atmosphere. Service is top notch, waitstaff is friendly and informative. The waitstaff answered all our questions and made suggestions to make dinner out special. They bring your check in a book, so you can sign the guest book. This is their 21st year in business. We even got to chat with the owners who stopped in for dinner, and sat outside next to us.

    What a wonderful evening. Our party of eight celebrated a birthday at Cecil and Lime, and…read moreeverything--from service to atmosphere--was excellent. Most impressive was how perfectly executed every dish was--the filet perfectly medium-rare, the salmon and lamb were flawless and cooked true medium and tender, the lasagna excellent, the potatoes au gratin beautifully caramelized, and the asparagus crisp-tender with a perfect char. Truly outstanding execution across the board. The restaurant matches any fine-dining spot in Dayton-Springfield but with a lively instead of stuffy atmosphere. A singer-pianist duo played jazz standards, adding a nice touch. Pricing was also very fair for the quality: most entrées were in the high $20s to $30s (the filet higher), while comparable places would be $10-$20 more for similar meals. For anyone in the Dayton-Springfield area, this is absolutely a destination. Enjoy!

I had a hamburger with chips and water 4. The hamburger was 3 pieces of meat on a stale bun The chips were crumbs from the bottom of the bag 5. I was charged an extra dollar for the plain hamburger than what the menu listed (deluxe cheeseburger was $1 more) 6. I paid with a $20 bill for a $9.13 bill 7. The change I was given was 2 $5 bills (they just kept the $.87 change) I left a whole dollar tip and left!

Made great friends but eventually my husband was promoted, and we left Ohio, very sad to go. But we have fond memories of our time and friends there, and recently we returned, after 20 years, to attend a friend's funeral. While living there, one of our favorite restaurants was Hickory Inn. While there we returned and it was like stepping into a time warp. It hasn't changed much. Made me very nostalgic. Food was pretty much the same. They have a varied menu, but are best known for their pizza. This is not fine dining, but solid, good food in a semi-dive bar setting. I enjoyed returning.

And the hot pepper cheese bites hold their own. Decent, nothing remarkable, Cole slaw. One problem, they put the cold with hot. And warm Cole slaw doesn't do it for me. Maybe you love it, what do I care? Baked beans came cold, maybe that's a fluke or maybe they always come cold. Either way, I won't be ordering them again.

The…read morepeople are so friendly, and there's something special about the welcoming feel of this town. I started with an espresso martini before my Benedict Your Way with smoked salmon, and it was so good that I had to have another one after my meal! Smooth, delicious, and the perfect way to bookend a great breakfast. And then there was the Benedict. I substituted the English muffin for a biscuit, added smoked salmon, and asked for extra hollandaise. Life changing. The biscuit was such a delicious upgrade with the smoked salmon, eggs, and that rich, creamy hollandaise. I honestly didn't want the meal to end. But the real finale was the crème brûlée. Absolutely perfect. The caramelized sugar on top had that beautiful crisp crack when I broke into it, while the custard underneath was silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just rich enough, and the contrast between the delicate caramelized topping and smooth custard was exactly what a great crème brûlée should be. Paired with my last espresso martini, it was an incredibly satisfying way to finish the meal. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd love to see a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options on the menu. Otherwise, Ellie's is a lovely place with genuinely friendly people, great food and drinks, and that warm Yellow Springs charm. I'm happy to support them and will definitely be back!
