If you're hungry for the best breakfast in town, hit the Golden Nugget, because it is hands down the best breakfast stop in Dayton. We can't wait for them to reopen and know how proud and happy it would make Genie to see it in its glory again. Best to the Thomas family!
The food is what passed for Italian food in the 1950's in this country: heavy red sauced pasta thrown at the diner with screeches of "everythin' goin'OK here, need anythin'else?" masquerading for service. The lasagna looked like a flattened out flame-singed miasma of red and yellow thickened puddles...
Wonderful! Busy, exciting place to eat and enjoy the evening; food is outstanding and service is equally great;
I go to the chop house several times a year, and the experience as well as the food is always excellent. The prime rib and chops are terrific.
This place is a diamond in the rough.Just moved here.We always had a favorite reataurant back home and now we have a new one and a new favorite waitress.Thanks to Amy we enjoyed great wine "Hangtime pinot noir" food "bone on filet and fresh Halibut" Amy was a hoot from the get go. She really made us...
Great food and great cozy setting for a romantic dinner for two or family dining. The service is as wonderful as the food. This is a place for a dining experience, not just a place to have a meal! One of my favorites and have never left without a satisfied appetite and smile on my face.
This is a small family run operation, that still holds the old world charm of authentic Italian cooking. The recipes are all from within the family, with the original Matriarch and Patriarch at the helm of the operation. All food is prepared fresh while you wait, and as often as I have eaten here,...
A spectacular dinning experience. The food is of the highest quality offering the added bonus of being quite reasonably priced. If you are lucky enough to be in the area on a Friday or Saturday evening I highly recommend that you drop in for their all you can eat pasta buffet and salad bar. You pick...
I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years and it still has the best ribs in Dayton. Friends who have retired to FL come here as soon as they get back to OH for the ribs and the great Shrimp cocktail. I never order ribs anywhere but here. Steaks are outstanding also. Service is excelle...
After all the years, The Hickory is still one of the best restaurants in Dayton.

How can you go wrong with this place? The BBQ chicken is outstanding and I've heard that the ribs are great as well. Not only that, but you get a lot of food for your money.
Excellent food! Ethnic and different. The best mashed potatoes around. The sampler dinner is super :)
Service and Food have gone downhill since the owner died. They even over charged my visa, obviously my family and I won't be coming here anymore. Don't eat here unless you want to donate money...!!!
While on my vacation, I visited Dominics. I feel that the food and service atmosphere were very extraordinary. I would highly recommed it to everyone! I plan on visiting Dominics again on my next vacation.
Excellent Vegtables and meat
This restaurant is my all time favorite. My family and I celebrate all our birthdays and celebrations at Hickory BarBQ. The staff is great and very friendly.
The food is excellent with a fairly unique menu, just be prepared to drop $100 after wine and tip.
Last nite (Sept. 8) we made our annual trek to Dominics. I have patronized Dominics for at least 40 years (or more) - we moved to Florida 25 years ato but still return to Dayton for the family reunion every year. It has become a tradition to go to Dominics at least once while we're here. Last nite w...
