I am down grading you because of some sleazy bar tending. I orders the well rum and coke, and was charged for 151. I'm not saying that I don't mind the extra kick and it was still only 4 bucks. but I was trying to get the 2 dollar specials, and it was a bit of a shock, that being said. I still love the food although they have taken some of my old favorites off the menu and added it to a weekly special list. The Chicken, Avacado club is amazing, I'm a sucker for fresh avacado. I'm digging this next time I'm in. I guess just when you order make sure you pay for what you get, or something. I can't stay mad to long though with the great food, and great atmosphere read more

Dinner was amazing! The new menu has great flavors and keeps it simple. The Prosciutto Asparagus is perfect to start the meal. Then try the Pear and Prosciutto side salad with Pear Vinaigrette. The Shrimp Po' Boy is a perfect combination of heat and freshness. Yum!! An added bonus is Trolley Hour from 4 pm to 7 pm with $5 Select Apps. Come try this new menu and have a Moscow Mule! read more

The look is unassuming but the food is delicious and the menu is great, especially for vegetarians. The service is excellent, and the place is cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend. read more

The chips & dip are good, the burgers are okay, the drinks are okay as well. The servers were okay but not great. I've been there times. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Great selection of beers. Friendly staff. Cool upstairs with pool table and a stream of people to look at and talk to as its also where the bathrooms are. Good stop right in the heart of the Oregon District. read more

Trolley Stop - American Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Most tables were empty at 5pm and was told that all tables reserved and would be a 2hour wait , never seen a place that would turn away a customer with empty tables and to reserve all your tables. Would not suggest wasting your time driving here unless you call ahead to find out if they have any tables that are not reserved????? read more

Great spot for a drink. They do serve food but I would recommend many of the other great foodie spots close by. They do have local bands and good local taps. This has been a mainstay of Oregon and will stay that way!! read more

Trolley Stop - Even Thanos needs to unwind and kick it occasionally!!! - American Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

This is my favorite restaurant in Dayton. I love the atmosphere, the employees, the location, and the menu. My friend is a vegan, and we can (and frequently do) both happily eat here without compromising. Important note: They have the best bloody mary and mimosa bar in Dayton during their Saturday brunch. They have a great happy hour and the best patio. I can't say enough good things! read more

After a terrible experience at Corner Kitchen where we were never waited on, we decided to return to an old favorite, The Trolley Stop. We were not disappointed. A server approached us immediately. We felt welcome right away. Drink order was taken quickly and efficiently. A food order was placed in a few minutes. My wife had the pineapple fried rice and loved it. I had two middle eastern appetizers for my meal and enjoyed them thoroughly. We received prompt service, refills when we needed them and overall good service. We will return. read more

Driving through Dayton and pulled off for a quick dinner. Absolutely fabulous break from a long day on the road. Kudos to Yelp for the insights. Great, inexpensive dinner on the patio. Look forward to coming back on purpose. read more

Trolley Stop - Ahi tuna and pulled pork sandwich - Delicious! - American Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

The best Bloody Mary bar In Dayton. Create your own from scratch and add all the accoutrements you desire. Also, they have a great brunch menu. Being on Keto, I did the porker burrito without the tortilla and black beans and it was still amazing. Great place for brunch and bloody Mary's. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a drink. We did not eat. Cool old place with history proudly on display. Bartender was efficient but can't say she was friendly like most in Oregon dist read more

I am giving this a 3/5 with plans to return and try something else on the menu. My wife and I stoped in while exploring the Oregon District and were immediately impressed with the decor of the place. There are a lot of old booths to sit in which are great, and a mini library with comfortable chairs upstairs. The menu seems to be standard pub fair. We ordered the loaded nachos and planned to dig in. They were anything but; the chips seemed to be taken from a bag I could have bought at Sam's Club, and the toppings left something to be desired. I plan on returning and trying other food, because the place does come so highly recommended. The staff were amazing and our server was helpful and friendly. The outside patio is also a great place to relax. read more

This is a fun and friendly bar. I miss it so and visit every time I head back to Dayton, Ohio. They have a good beer selection for Dayton and the bartenders are top notch. There's an old juke box with plenty of oldies and they often have live bands with a cover. It's an incredibly relaxed place and it's pretty awesome inside with tons of old woodwork, it feels like what an old city bar should feel like. BALTIMOREANS! They have Heavy Seas, Marzan is on tap as of 10/26/11. read more

Great place to get a drink. But the food is nothing to write home about. Not super impressed. In addition, the last few times we have gone they are pretty rude about their being a special event doing on. Make you feel unwelcome. Pretty sure our last trip. Guess they cater to special events and not the public. Guessing you might want to make plans not involving this place. read more

Great bar! Good food (get the kale salad), good beer, friendly bar staff and locals. Live music almost nightly. I was looking to try some local beer, and while they had local stuff they didn't have exactly what I wanted... the bartender actually recommended another bar/brewery down the block. Awesome service. Great place to stop by if you're front out of town. read more

This place has a true local feeling to it. I used to go here often when I lived in Dayton. My issue with bars is usually the same: the patrons. The patrons here are kind and excepting, mainly younger and hipster which is fine by me, I've never worried about someone trying to fight me or start a problem there. The beer prices are great and the patio area is cozy. Live music is awesome also. read more

We were looking for a place away from Brown St. This is awesome. Located in the The Oregon district. Artsy, funky. Lots of shops and bars. Great menu. Craft Beer as well as the usual favs. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich. Minister Melt and Jamaican jerk burger we very good as well. read more

Mediocre at best. I ordered a grilled cheese and it was half cooked. The cheese was congealed and cold. We waited about an hour just for an appetizer. Store bought chips, salsa, cold slaw. One and done! read more

This small little place is the cutest! Great outdoor seating, and they are following the guidelines of social distancing. The food was okay. We had salsa and chips as an appetizer and it was very yummy! As main course we had the avocado and black bean tacos which were a disappointment. The tacos were cold, like completely cold, and no where on the menu did it say they were going to be. If we knew it was going to be cold, I would've ordered something else. Other than that my husband enjoyed his burger but the tacos were not a hit. read more

Solid four star eating and drinking establishment. Pool table upstairs. Full bar. Good salads, soups, burgers. Craft brews on tap. Friendly service. Would stop by anytime. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE... I have grown to love the Oregon District with all of its little shops and bars (and yes, i know there are several adult stores there but oh well)... I haven't been to the Trolly Stop for lunch in a while, but I know in the past they used to have a "build your own sandwich bar" and if you could guess the weight of your sandwich you got it for free. Lately I've been meeting friends here for after dinner drinks, and on occasion to see a band... its got a great atmosphere and a wonderful little enclosed patio in the back... and hey, if you get bored there's several other bars on this same street... read more

The Trolley Stop is one of my family's favorite places to go Downtown! We love the Patio during the summer and the Cozyness of the inside tables during the fall and winter. We especially like their Red Beans and Rice .... but all the food is good! Definitely a fun place to get together for food and drinks! read more

This little hole in the wall bar has excellent food at a reasonable price. I'm not familiar with the Dayton area but found this online and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options available. Any burger can be a black bean patty. If you're in the area, stop by! read more

Staff is great. I love the spot and the patio is great. The food has gone downhill though. The food here used to be great, I mean really good. But now it's just mediocre. So now we eat before we come here. It would be great if you guys made the food as good as it used to be here. read more

A Dayton classic in the Oregon district. Stamped tin ceilings, cool old picture as a wall mural. Good cocktails and draft list. I have never eaten here so I can't say about the food. Outdoor section. read more

We had a great experience! The waitress was very accommodating and knew exactly what we were looking for. Our meal was delicious and the service was fantastic! read more

Fair prices for fresh delicious food! Curtious and friendly staff! Great atmosphere and a staple for thr Oregon District. Must try the hippy stacker! The fresh veggies and hummus are delicious as well! read more

Great little spot in a great location great service good craft beers and your typical barfood which hamburgers were very good

They have a decent beer selection and I've definitely found a new faves when I come here. The bar staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The Hippy Stacker is really tasty. The only downside is service is slow if you aren't at the bar. read more

Got right in at lunch time, menu looked so good it was hard to choose just one thing. I had a hot turkey with apple slaw and chips. Sauce for the chips was addicting it was so yummy. Would definitely come back again. read more

Great place for lunch! Stop by the second street market and then brunch at Trolly Stop!

I know this bar is almost universally beloved in Dayton. Sadly, we had such a bad experience here, fiancé and I have vowed never to return. The beer selection is excellent, yes. But many other bars in town have great beer. I've never had the food, so I'm reviewing this strictly as a bar. The bartender (don't know his name) was ridiculously rude to both of us. I paid for a round of drinks because we were taking turns paying. Bartender sneers at my fiancé and says, " Well aren't you chivalrous?" I ordered a Troegs Sunshine Pils, and bartender snottily corrects my pronunciation (I write about beer for a living). He also ignored us for a good 15 mins as we stood at the bar. Awful, awful service. We will never go back. read more

Went here with the family to watch the OSU vs Michigan game. Very friendly and attentive staff. They a large projection screen and there was plenty of space. As an added bonus they were featuring a local beer brunch. I had the Nutella french toast paired with Jackie O's Java the Stout and they paired very nicely together. My husband picked out the totchos paired with Jackie O's Firefly Amber. The totchos were a very neat take on tater tots and nachos. We will certainly be back! read more

Brought a friend here on Monday for lunch and a beer and was not the least bit disappointed. I had the winter kale salad and he got a burger both of which were outstanding. At one point I saw the chef come out to answer some questions for a group of ladies who had questions about the menu. The atmosphere is fun and I have nothing but fond memories of goods times there... Especially upstairs if you know what I mean! Service was fast and friendly.. A great place to stop for lunch if you're out in Dayton. Thanks for the great times! read more

I got the Po Boy, and Blue cheese burger Pros: very tasty food, Our Server was very good cons: 1. portion sizes are really small for the price, 2. we didnt know it was seat yourself as there was no sign and was our first time, and the person we asked look at us like we were stupid. 3.booths were too small for people to actually sit in. I kept bumping elbows with my girlfriend trying to eat. 4. apparently there was some sort of beer tasting event that started halfway through our meal, which would have been cool if someone would have told us about it....instead we watched other people get beer tasters (I'm assuming you had to pay for it) 5. They were out of sweet potato fries, not a big deal. 6. super loud...(I get it its a bar (I didnt know that before) its going to be loud, but it truly made our meal less enjoyable.) We latter found out they had a nice outside sitting that would have been better...wish that was expressed instead of "are you stupid? sit wherever" look we got when we arrived. place was alright but I probably wouldnt be coming again read more

This is fantastic food! A must stop, casual dining and attentive servers. Will definitely come back here:) read more

This is hands-down my favorite bar in the Oregon District, heck, in Dayton. I feel at home here. The outdoor patio is a great place spring-fall, great bar food, and an excellent laid-back atmosphere. Whenever I have friends in from out of town, this is where I take 'em. This is Dayton. read more

We were there yesterday because Lucky's was closed. We had been just for appetizers a couple of times, which led me to believe the food was better than it had been when I used to go after work with friends. I was wrong. My partner got the salad of the day, which looked great in the Facebook picture, but in real life looked like I made it. I'm not much on presentation either. There was not much dressing much at all. I got the hamburger of the day. That sounded good. In my head, it was really a Big Mac with less bread and one less hamburger patty. With onion straws and bacon! I was about to fall in love. I just knew it! Our lunches arrive. As I watched our dishes come toward our table, the burger was huge. When it got there, I remembered those optical illusions you see on Facebook every now and then. Like the pic of their salad. It was just tall. Piled with cold onion straws and cold burned bacon. I like crunchy bacon, but not that crunchy. It was cold, so it didn't shatter when I bit into it. The 1000 island dressing was really their herbie dip (which they have changed for the worse but that's another review) and they made have stirred pickle relish in. It came with old, not so crunchy slaw. It even looked old.... you know when the red cabbage is no longer red, but everything else is a sickly pink? A little limp, not as crunchy and just kind of dead in the bowl. Didn't even eat that after the tiny little bite I took for kicks. Food poisoning is real, after all. We would have told the waitress sooner, but she never came by except to ask if we wanted the check. After the offer of a 20 percent discount (which I jumped on, though in retrospect I should have held out for more). In the end, we felt ripped off and bummed out. The lesson we learned here is: If Lucky's is closed, going anywhere else trumps the convenience of going two doors down. read more
