Dayton Restaurants

New York Style Pizza is the best! Unless you are from Chicago and love dough. The Flying Pizza is the closest thing to New York that you can get in the midewest.

They have three locations in Dayton, although the Downtown location sucks if you have to drive there. Best bet, go to the one in Centerville. It is south of town. The prices are a little bit higher than a Pizza Hut or Domanoes, but it is worth every penny.

Favorite Dish: I am a meat lover, which means I am fat. They have vegetarian stuff too, but the best pizza is this.
1) Extra Pizza Sauce
2) Double Cheese
3) Peperoni
4) Sausage (their sausage is great!)
5) Meatballs.

Yep, Meatballs. It sounds odd, but it is addictive!

SCOR is a cool sports restaurant located on the south end of Bellbrook. The atmosphere is really unique and of course they have TV's, 16 of them. Happy Hour goes until 9pm, and they have a great selection of draft beer, with $2 22ounce drafts. They have a wing eating contest every week on Tuesdays. The food is outstanding and very original, with all your favorites. I have to say that this is nice addition to the Bellbrook area.

Favorite Dish: I've got two favorite meals there. The Jersey Deli, which is an italian cold-cut sandwich with grilled onions and olive oil on a berry wheat. The other is the no-carb burger, two 1/2 pound burgers covered in cheese and bacon served with a side salad instead of fries. I hear they are expanding their menu in a week. More lo-carb options, more entrees, more desserts. I got to hand it to the new owner, he has got a little gem there in Bellbrook.

BW3 (or "Bee-Dubs" for short) is an awesome place to go with friends for good food and a good time. Not only is the food great, and the beer always flowing, but this is a sports bar with huge TV screen that are featuring the latest sporting events. To further the excitement you can also play an electronic trivia game from your table (viewed on one of the TV screens) against people in your B-dubs, and against other people in other BW3 locations I believe. This is a casual place. Order your food at the counter and go and seat yourself.

Favorite Dish: Wings Wings Wings. They are awesome, but BW3 takes the whole 'chicken and hot sauce' a step further and makes other great things such as Buffalitos! Buffalitos are great. But don't leave without eating potatoe wedges with cheese. Sure, this isn't health food, but I'm telling you it's GOOD.

I spent some hours in Dayton International Airport due to the delay of my flight to Washington D.C. I have dinner in 12th Fairway Bar and Grill. The food was good and the price low! The service was very fast and you can eat watching one of the runway and the airport's activities.

Favorite Dish: My dinner in the 12th Fairway Bar and Grill was very good and you can taste some American dishes. I tasted a grilled steak with friess and caesar salad. It was very good.

Stars is the rooftop restaurant and lounge of the Crowne Plaza Dayton. Here you can eat good food with good price and to have views of downtown Dayton and the Miami Valley.
The staff is friendly and the service very fast.

Favorite Dish: The menu at Stars offers a good choice of food. I tasted a Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables and caesar salad. Very good! From the windows of the restaurant you can have a nice view over Dayton by night.

Ok so it isnt in Boston, but it is a nice local Dayton Chain. I particularly like their catch line! "Coffee Makes you Smarter than you Actually Are" The coffee was nice they give you some sturdy cold beverage cups. Seriously the heavy plastic cup still hasnt broken and I use it all the time, months later. The ladies and gentlemen behind the counter are friendly and playful.

Favorite Dish: They have a variety of types of coffee. I am not sure I had a particular coffee I liked the most, I didnt go for the coffee but the environment. Most of my friends will call me horrible for that one as they adore their coffee.

I have been a fan of Quaker Steak and Lube since back in the days when there was just one location in Sharon, PA. Since then, our favorite place for wings has expanded around 40 locations, mostly in PA and Ohio, but also Florida, West Virginia, Virgina, Tennessee, Iowa, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, North Carolina, and Canada.

My last visit I ordered a single order (10) of wings and their sirloin steak sandwich with fries. The wings are pretty expensive at $8 for 10, but they are great, especially their cajun, golden garlic, and Louisiana Lickers. The steak sandwich had lots of tender cubed meat, though it was a little blandly flavored. The fries are good, especially when dipped in the extra wing sauce.

While I got my meal to go, the restaurant was full on this Friday night with one half of the restaurant watching sports at the bar, while the other half was singing karaoke.

I didn't see Don nor Pablo when I visited this national chain restaurant near the mall in Fairborn. I did have some good, relatively inexpensive Mexican food in a nice, family friendly environment. We arrived and were quickly seated way back in the far corner opposite the door, in the large, high-ceiling dining room. It was a bit breezy and chilly in the large room on this cold, rainy night.

I had a Tecate beer and the Numero Uno Favorito... a crunchy fajita taco, an enchilada, and a soft chicken taco with beans and rice, and of course, lots of chips and salsa. The meal was a cheap $9 and the food was all pretty good.

Don Pablo's started in 1985 and now has 45 restaurants in 15 states.
