best ribs in town
I am still craving their fried mush and potatoe pancakes. If they shipped to St. Louis I'd be broke from ordering. Haven't been back for 10 years but loved them then and I am sure would love them now!!!!!!!!!!
terrible, cold, and most trays were empty
Enjoy the food, everything is fresh and tasty!
If you're tired of eating at the chain restaurants and would like some local flavor, this is a great place. Nothing fancy, just good food and terrific service. Best breakfast around.

I was raised in Dayton and come back ther about 4 times a year for various reasons. These trips always include ribs from old hickory. To me, they are the best after sampling many others. I only eat ribs from Hickory now.
I have been into china buffet numerous times and every time it has been great. the food is wonderful and the service is good. they are open late during the week till 10:30pm, so for those who don't get home from work till 8 pm or 9pm and do not want to cook dinner, the china buffet is where to go. i...
I have been eating barbecue here for years. It is the best I have had by far. The price is a little high. But the food is great.
I think this is one of the better places to have a great steak. The service is always great and never had a bad steak.
This restaurant has the best broasted chicken and potatoes in the Dayton area. Their house dressing and homemade cole slaw are also the greatest! I highly reccommend it.
When we arrived the line was out the door but it went very fast. The service was excellent and the coffee is delicious plus they are always refilling. The food was outstanding. I will be back and sending my friends.
I am THRILLED to hear that the Golden Nugget has rebuilt and re-opened after sustaining damage from a fire several years back...and that it's still garnering rave reviews! My last visit there was 21+ years ago, and prior to that visit, I hadn't eaten there since I'd been a child in the late 60's. Th...
Centerville Pizza stupidly names themselves a pizza and sub shop. Hey dudes, sub sandwiches are mainly consumed at lunch time. I went in there at 12:30 PM to get myself a sub sandwich and was told (very impolitely) that they dont open until 3PM. Here is a suggestion to Centerville Pizza and Sub: ...
Good food. Filty place. Nice people.
Excellent italian cuisine, and the lasagna and house dressing is to die for. To the "reviewer" who suggested Dayton's Bravos as better than Momma Disalvos... Puhlease.. Bravos here has some of the most bland italian food around. Perhaps Fazolis is in order for this person. Momma Disalvos is not to b...
the new Golden Nugget is even better than the old one. Same great food and coffee, great service, friendly, great value, and they can't fill your coffee cup fast enough. Try the potatoe pancakesand canadian bacon. Outstanding. They have a bigger parking lot and more seats and a bigger waiting area...
My dad used to take me there as a kid for our "dates". Its also the first restaurant my parents took me too and where I had my first taste of real food.And for the lady that had a problem with my mom giving me a taste of lemon when I was a baby, to this day I LOVE lemon. See, and I turned out just f...
I loved thre Breakfast Club, but it is no longer there, I miss Nancy amnd the staff, they were so nice....what happened?
I have been going to this restaurant for as long as I can remember. As a kid I would go up on East Third street to watch the ribs turn on the long skewers. I now go to the one on Brown street as much as I can. The food is great and it has a nice homey feel to it. The staff is great there too.
I love this restuarant! The food is awesome. They have great soul food. Thier greens are excellent. They have renovated the whole building! The bathrooms are super clean. The service takes about 15 minutes per order. The portions are huge. The kids could probably share one meal. This is a must visit...
