Small little place with probably a dozen tables. We met the owner. She is retiring from her regular job in May and this was always a dream of hers, so I wish her much success. Right now they are running a small menu. Today it had 4 items on it. We both chose the gyro. I thought it had good flavor. The pita broke apart on us so it got messy. We told her heating the pita may make it more pliable and she was very appreciative of the feedback. I look forward to going back and seeing the changes as they grow.

But when you're approaching the half-century mark, life starts revolving around exciting things like **annual physicals, cholesterol numbers, and oil changes**. Yesterday we had a check-up appointment in Jamestown and I thought, "You know what pairs nicely with preventative healthcare? A massive lunch." So off we went. Before arriving, I checked out their website and immediately had a problem... **I wanted to order everything.** This menu is **extensive**. We're talking the kind of menu where you start reading and eventually forget why you opened it in the first place. Starters Just casually starting the meal with a **munitions depot** apparently: * Homemade Chips & Salsa * Loaded Tator Bombs * Cheese Bombs * Garlic Dough Bombs *(seriously... enough bombs... choose love over violence )* * Bavarian Pretzel Sticks * Hot Honey Fries * Buffalo Chicken Dip * "The Bomb" Sampler... again with the bombs * Pizza Pretzels Quesadillas * Chicken & Cheese * Chicken Parm * Chicken Bacon Ranch * **Philly Dilla** (Yes. Immediately yes.) Handhelds * Italian Stallion * Buffalo Chicken Wrap * Shrimp or Fried Grouper Tacos * Chicken Caesar Wrap * Nashville Hot Sandwich * Club Wrap * **The RBF** - Roast Beef with melted provolone, giardiniera *(still not 100% sure what that is)* and parmesan on a hoagie roll Burgers Now we're talking. * Basic B - 1/3 lb Angus beef, mayo, cheese * Jasper Burger - pepper jack, bacon, jalapeño, Carolina gold sauce, "the garden" * Bacon Be Jammin Burger - bacon jam AND four strips of bacon * Big Daddy Burger - two 1/3 lb patties with bourbon sauce * Patty Melt - Texas toast, grilled onions, American & Swiss And the best part... **Every sandwich comes with fries or tots at no extra charge.** You know... **the way God and Ronald Reagan intended.** Brick Oven Fired Pizza 14" pies with garlic butter crust dusted with parmesan. This menu reads like a **2000s hip-hop playlist**. * Cheese-us Walks * H to the Ezzo *(Columbus-made Ezzo Pepperoni)* * 2 Legit to Quit * Coming Back to Philly * Baby I Got Your Honey with Mike's Hot Honey * Let's Talk Supreme, Baby * Drop It Like It's Hot * California Love *(for those that squat to pee)* * I Like It When You Call Me Big BBQ * **Nothin' But a Meat Thang** - loaded with all the meats... I'll leave the joke right there before Facebook suspends me * Hungry Like a Wolf Salads For those who hate flavor. * House * Caesar * Crisp Greens * Cobb * Buffalo * Italian Let's be honest. A salad is a salad. It's green. It's crunchy. It's what people order when they're pretending to be responsible. Chicken add on's - Grilled.......or Fried! Nothing screams **"healthy life choices"** quite like ordering a salad topped with **fried chicken**. The menu also notes the **ranch is house made**. Yes. Please. Immediately. Soup of the Day Every time I see "Soup du Jour" I immediately hear the **Dumb and Dumber** line... *"That's the soup of the day."* *"Mmm... that sounds good. I'll have that."* #IknowEveryLine Chicken Options * Boneless Wings * Bone-In Wings * Chicken Tenders Sauces include: Garlic Parmesan, BBQ Honey, Buffalo, Teriyaki, Mango Habanero, Jamaican Jerk, Nashville Hot, Bourbon, Spicy Garlic, Sweet Buffalo and Dry Rub. Basically **flavor for every personality disorder**. The Journey There We plugged the address into Waze and headed out for what turned into a pleasant country drive. Eventually Waze directed us to a sign for Jasper Hills Golf Club, not a member, followed by a left turn into what can only be described as an "upper middle class neighborhood." How do I know? Big Houses, One with a matching swing set. That's big money territory. #BigMoney At the end of the road sits a building that honestly looks a bit like someone's house with a large parking lot. Now sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier... but luckily we were in the right place. Don't be shy - head in. Inside The interior was bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Eventually the dining room filled up with guests. Our server - Hannah greeted us quickly, took our drink orders, and was fantastic the entire time. Also worth mentioning: **Restrooms were clean and spacious**.

The short version Veteran-owned, family-run since 1949. Patio with weekly entertainment. Massive burger options. Zero privacy. Bring an appetite and a dramatic monologue if you want people to listen. #BeaverMoon #NoPrivacy The food (and my questionable life choices) Cheese Cubs: 12 little golden mozzarella missiles. Crispy, glorious, and sorrowfully under-sauced. Nick's, your marinara game needs to be more generous -- we're trying to dunk, not meditate #WeLikeLotsOfSauce - I guess we could have asked for more, but I didn't want to be a glutton. #fatkidproblems Hickory Nick burger: I ordered it well-done because I'm not a risk-taker. While a tapeworm is a good weightloss program, i'm not interested! It arrived the size of a small moon and tasted like someone whispered barbecue secrets into a cow's ear. Hickory bacon, fried onion straws, American cheese, and Nick's Awesome BBQ Sauce with a spare bottle parked like it paid rent at the table. Messy, joyful, zero regrets. #TapeWorm #GetsLotsOfNapkins Fries: crispy, a little salty, perfect for scooping up remorse and extra Nicks BBQ sauce. The menu (a choose-your-own-adventure). Pretty Extensive #lotsofoptions Filet Mignon, Frog Legs, Liver and Onions, and The Sexy Club all living on the same page like this is normal. Sauces have names like "Fire in ya hole" and "Sweet Hot Damn" -- either a culinary threat level or a very honest marketing team. Whatever you pick, it'll be dramatic. The vibe & patio life Feels like a favorite uncle's living room who also happens to run a restaurant. Warm, loud, and full of TVs for sports fans who like to offer unsolicited referee critiques. The patio has weekly entertainment -- think friendly chaos, a beer in hand, and the kind of music where everyone pretends they remember the lyrics. Perfect for a summer night. The bar & crowd Big draft selection, bartenders who know your drink before you do, and regulars who will rate your life choices over a pint. The space is cozy -- translation: if you whisper something juicy, the whole place will lean in. Privacy is not on the menu! #Eavesdropper #NoPrivacy #KindaSmall The only gripe It's compact. We were lucky to beat the lunch crowd. When full, it's like dining in a cheerful sardine can. One star off for proximity; the food earns the rest. Final score 4 out of 5 Bald Heads ‍‍‍‍ -- Veteran-owned since 1949, family-run, loud, proud, and delicious. Go for the burger, stay for the patio music, and bring extra marinara just in case. I'll be back because my stomach has no self-control. #deliciousfood @topfans #BaldWhiteGuyReview #NickApproved #XeniaEats #HickoryNick #CheeseCubs #EatLocal #FourBaldHeads

I was killing time while waiting for my daughter who was at an appointment in town, so I took my coffee and sat in the hotel lobby for a while before venturing out to discover Yellow Springs.
