Dixie Chili

"We have a Airbnb up in Northern Kentucky and have ate all the Cincinnati chilies, this one is the best! Big menu cool atmosphere and a rich history. Go try it you won't be disappointed."

Richie's Chicken & Soul

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $

"I have driven past Richie's Chicken & Soul literally hundreds of times. NEVER again will I just drive by! Today, I was in the mood for some good fried chicken but wanted to find a place that would deliver to me without charging me double for delivery. I had heard good things about Richie's over the past 3 years living on the West Side of Cincinnati so I figured I would check to see if they would deliver. And they did!!The chicken was fried crisp, nice crunchy coating and the spicy was indeed spicy and very flavorful! The spice was infused throughout the chicken breast as well so you weren't left with bland chicken after the breading was gone. I will definitely stop in next time I drive by and it is nice to know there is a delivery option as well!"

Yumi Boba Tea

★★★★★ 4.8 (44)

"So many options and we loved everything we had! Great place to introduce someone new to bubble tea! Nice areas to sit outside too!"

Agaves

★★★★☆ 3.6 (65) • $$

"During Covid we have gotten takeout from here twice and it doesn't disappoint. This last order I got the veggie fajitas and I felt I was eating right there in the restaurant. Peppers onions broccoli and mushrooms with guacamole salad. Perfection. We need to continue to support restaurants during this time"

The Twist Indian Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (45)

"For quality and value this is a winner. The interior seating area is very spartan with basic fast food style tables, I would recommend getting your meal to go. There are a lot of food choices in addition to the build your own meal. I got 2 naan tacos kormi with chicken. Also got a chikoo shake all for $15. The shake is small, as are the lassis. Wish I had gotten some samosas and dessert too.I'll be back for sure"

Tender Towne

★★★★☆ 3.6 (60) • $

"I spent a lot of time avoiding Tender Towne because I'm not a big fan of their sister restaurant, Butterbee's. I've always had bland food and an apathetic service experience. I've had Tender Towne a few times because I did not have the deciding on food and I can say it's slightly better than Butterbee's. Pros:- I like that they come in different size meals from 1-5 tenders. Different options for your particular hunger level but without the annoyance of buying only an extra tender.- They offer different sauces as opposed to their main competitor. There are 5 or 6 other choices besides their Tender sauce. (I've never tried the other options because I am a BIG fan of the Tender sauce!)- There are other menu items besides tenders. They offer wraps and sandwiches, and they serve chicken salad and grilled chicken. Plus, they have a few desserts (funnel fries!) if you need something sweet.Cons:- Tenders are smaller than other chicken restaurants. I always ended up getting one of the larger meals. - Service is awkward at best. I think they have the Penn Station style machines where if you don't tell them exactly what they need they can't move to the next part of the menu. That can be frustrating when your mind is focused on ordering multiple meals with different items.- They have Pepsi products. Gross.All in all, Tender Towne isn't awful and I go here every so often. Do I think it beats their main competitor, Raising Canes? Absolutely not, but it's closer to me and sometimes that's the only battle. If they decide to bottle up their sauce, let me know. I'll be the first to buy!"

Mike's Chili & Gyros

★★★★☆ 4 (45) • $

"When I walked into the place, the cook and the woman at the counter (the manager) were having what sounded like a family argument (in Greek?), which just enhances the charm of the place.The cook was friendly and greeted me, in between words with the manager. After a bit, the waitress arrived and asked me what I wanted to drink. It's a small place with a few indoor and a few outdoor tables, plus 3 stools at the counter. Obviously, they can't handle large crowds in colder weather. They have a drive-thru.One difference I noticed when I entered was the lack of the smell of grease, compared to their location on Brookwood and Washington on the west side of Hamilton. Everything seemed clean at both stores, although it took them a bit of time to clean tables after people left.On the back of the menu, they have some combos, including the #1 combo with the gyros, fries, and drink I ordered for $8.99. Does that seem a scary price? The last place where I got such a combo was $5.99 and yes, the gyros was smaller with the price. Feta cheese is an additional $1.00. Adding a tip takes a bite out of that $15.00 you kept for a fancy meal.The food was good, and I was treated well. I can't say enough how that feels. I've been too many places where no one cares, so thanks to them, I felt better, even though they were otherwise occupied with restaurant business. I was kind of surprised to see the waitress carrying several heads of lettuce which were apparently delivered through the drive-thru window.In any case, it was a good experience, even if the price was a bit scary. It seems a little dangerous trying to get into the parking lot. It may be easier to go to where Dixie Highway goes north and use the back way to get into the parking lot, rather than risk a rear end collision."

The Loaded Gyro

★★★★★ 4.7 (31)

"We stopped by The Loaded Gyro to grab a quick dinner on our way to a nearby event. Although not a fancy place, the dining room was very clean and service was excellent. Our gyros were delicious and hot, with soft pita bread and tender, moist meat. Employees were helpful and eager to please us The owner spoke to us about his restaurant and the food he prepares for the community. He clearly is hard working and takes pride in his food."

In-n-Out Java

★★★★☆ 4.4 (32) • $

"THIS IS IT! I've found it!!! Best Breakfast Burrito in Dayton!!! Stuffed full of potatoes meat and cheese. Add salsa and you're in heaven. And they have good coffee too! There's a reason the drive thru is long......it's worth the wait."

Shake Shack Liberty Center

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (99) • $$

"I first learned about this place in Chicago every since then I've been sold, the food here is "fast food" so it's not something special or elegant "it's burger and fries" however THE best burger & fries I believe is out there, I would recommend eating here then other places,Their employees were very respectful and friendly our food was hot and ready the place was clean/ busy and fast paced.. love it"

San Jeanetta's Table

★★★★★ 4.6 (23)

"Excellent food! I was able to order and pay right on the toast app. It was quiet and empty being late night. The orders were take out for the last hour. I don't even think they were full staffed. The food took a little longer than the time I was given, but it was fine. The food tastes so great it was crispy and tasty. The pickles are thick crisp and juicy. The loaded fries were different than usual places. The fries already have a tasty seasoning on them. Cheese and ranch was added. The wings are Herb flavored which are dry, I loved them and they were $1 each for games celebrations. If you have haven't tried this get it. Btw the Sonny Tuscan Mac is a bit spicy and Aunt Bea Is sweet. I loved the chicken flavor with that sweetness and the Mac is rich and creamy. Maybe try one thing at a time cuz you'll be too full to eat it all but it'll be hard to stop! The ambiance is a small old Subway location repurposed for this space which is much more unique and flavorful. Is black owned and operated. Give small business owners your business! They deserve all the love you can give!"

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (34)

"I haven't had Cane's in a while. Is their chicken tenders shrunk in size. Looks like a chicken fingers for sure if a chicken has any finger. Restaurant is clean inside out, service is good and fast but disappointed at the portion size."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 3.9 (30)

"Opening Day of Canes gave me a solid 5 stars and I hope to keep it that way! Unintentionally was one of the first 100, so it was fun to see the excitement from the managers and staff. I know it won't always be this upbeat but they did a great job including Cincinnati treasures like Mr. Redlegs and the UC Bearcat. I love, that before they even opened, they cut a $500 check to League for Animal Welfare. They're more than just chicken, which is why they're deserving of a solid 5 stars.The interior screams Anderson pride. Turpin, McNick, Anderson and more are all represented inside. It certainly has a modern hometown feel. Mix matched chairs, booths and outdoor seating is pretty cool. As for the chicken, it's not set apart from other Canes. Could it be a tad more flavorful? Sure, but that's what canes sauce is for. I enjoy their bread, cole slaw and sweet tea. If they can keep their fries crunchy, I'll be a happy yelper!"

Mike's Fish & Chicken

★★★★☆ 4 (28)

"So when I go out of town, my requirement is that my friends take me to local restaurants. My friend suggested I try this place. It has a very homely look and vibe and the plaza gets a lot of business with a liquor store next door. The chicken fingers were delicious and so was my seasoned turkey burger. I will definitely return. The staff was super nice too!"

Tender Towne

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (41) • $

"It's kind of silly to hear everyone complaining because Tender Town portions aren't what they once were. I had their Buffalo wrap meal for the first time today and it was a tasty lunch at a fair $10.99. No, this wrap wasn't big enough for me to make it into 2 meals. But it was hot, tasted good, and the employees were friendly."

Lee Ann's Dairy Delight

"Food is amazing service is fast for how great the food is the customer service is Top Tier! Will be back soon! My GoTo spot for bell burgers"

Victor's Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (19)

"My Cinco de Mayo dinner was fantastic. I had never had Victor's before and I will for sure be back. I ordered a Chicken Taco, 2 Beef Taco combo, and a Grilled Chicken Quesadilla. More food than I needed but it was Cinco de Mayo. The Quesadilla was HUGE and so good! So much flavor. The chicken was so juicy and grilled to perfection. The beef tacos I was less impressed by. The beef didn't have much flavor and was kinda a weird texture. I won't be getting those again. But that is totally fine because their Chicken Taco is out of this world and can not wait to get more. There is so much flavor it has a little kick but nothing crazy. The taco tortillas are great perfectly crunchy."

Jolly's Drive-In

★★★★☆ 3.9 (18) • $

"This was my first time at Jolly's. It's a Hamilton staple and I have failed till now to try it. It was delicious. It's an old school drive in root beer stand. I always love these; amazing food with fun nostalgia. And Jolly's is a legit old school drive in with an 80 year history. I got a Chili Cheese Footlong without Onions. It was very good, a little heavy on the mustard to the point it over powered the chili so I will get it without mustard next time. The French Fries are out of this world. Cooked and salted perfectly. The onion rings are just as amazing. Perfectly crunchy outside a delicious sweet onion on the inside. The Root Beer like all Root Beer stands was absolutely delicious. It was hard to drink it slowly. Also if you make a trip to Jolly's you MUST get a bag of their popcorn! It's better than movie theater popcorn!! It's super buttery and the perfect amount of salt. My friend calls it " contraband" if she goes without her kids."

Yalla Yallaa Mediterranean Cuisine on the Go

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14)

"So excited to finally have good Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food in northern Kentucky. I forlornly search the internet for falafel about once a month in the hopes that something new surfaces. To my surprise and delight, Yalla Yallaa showed up this week and I made my way over there the first chance I had. It's located in the Midwest Auto car sales store's parking lot currently. Faraz (Jordan) the chef was very friendly and gave me a free mini place of rice, chicken shawarma, fries and garlic sauce to snack on while I waited for the falafel to fry for my wrap. He also sent me home with a free container of fries and falafel patties. The food is delicious and certainly the best I've had in Kentucky. Go give Yalla Yallaa your business."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (22)

"I love Jersey Mike's and this is my favorite location! It just opened a few months ago but they already seem to have everything down perfectly! Although I am closer to the Hyde Park location, I prefer to go to this one because they offer a larger variety of hot sandwiches. In addition to this, the service is fantastic - I was greeted when I came in the door and all the employees were very friendly when they made my sandwich. For me what sets Jersey Mike's ahead of Subway or Jimmy Johns is that everything is so fresh - they cut the meat and cheese right in front of you for every sub! If you need a quick lunch or are craving a delicious sub this is the place to go!PS - Makes sure you get it "Mikes Way"! This has some of the veggies plus the juice and is great"

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken - Springfield South

★★★★☆ 3.8 (14)

"Five star fried chicken experience. Lee's is fantastic. Was looking for a place off of the 70 and Lee's was perfect. Great chicken, great sides. Highly recommend."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 4 (12)

"First time trying a Raising Cane's establishment and was left with the thought I should try again. They are not currently in my area of VA. One opened in Richmond first of the year. The counter service was magnificent! I received assistance for a first timer getting a large chicken fingers & fries combo with bread and fountain drink. The food came out in minutes. The dining room was adequate size and mostly clean. The outdoor seating area was a hit on a sunny weekday afternoon. I chose a booth to set in. The meal was the correct temperature, the soda good. The main chicken fingers needed the accompanying sauce or ketchup. I found it a bit greasy, but crispy and pretty good. The crinkle fries good. The overall meal hits average for me. After finishing a manager checked on me as I was clearing my tray off in the trash. He gave me some company history and explained they may be a chain, but strong local founding. This was a positive interaction, but placement still seems best left at a 3.5, rounding down. I likely will return next time in the area."

Gold Star Chili

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (15)

"I've been going to Skyline for years but I finally decided to try out the competition. They keep advertising their burgers but I wasn't quite ready to try them yet. So I stayed safe and tried a 4-Way and a Coney with just the typical ingredients. I wanted the hot cheese but I had to try it the original way first. I will say that I really can't tell a difference between the chilis. Everyone says that Skyline is a bit more cinnamon-like but I really couldn't tell a difference. I will say though that when it comes to the 4-Way, I enjoyed Gold Star's more than Skyline. It was less watery and more flavorful. However when it comes to the Coneys, I prefer Skyline. I like their hotdogs better and that is it. So I guess when it comes down to it, these places aren't that different. Looking forward to coming back and trying the burgers!"

Penn Station East Coast Subs

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (29) • $

"A solid Penn Station location.I've been here a few times and this location never seems to disappoint. Great staff, friendly service and good food. Exactly what you would expect from Penn Station. This location does not have a drive-thru. The parking lot is a little bit on the small side. Being that those are the only two negative things I have to say, there's no reason that I can think of to not stop in and visit this location.Would I go back? Yes I would. It is set back a little bit from the main road, but it's definitely worth looking for. It's not on the main 747 strip, nor can you see it from there, so keep your eye out. And don't forget to grab at least two of the best cookies of any fast food chain that I can think of!"

Hunny Bee’s

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (13)

"We drive down to this area at least once a month and always looking for something new to try. Todays adventures landed us at Hunny Bee's. The 1st thing to note is how clean this store is!? It was spotless. The 2nd thing of note is the folks working here, they are so dag gone friendly. We ate in so we got to listen to them interact and it was just amazing how well they all get along. The manager(Brian) seems to be liked by everybody. He's not telling anybody to do work, he's talking to them and simply asking. There is zero animosity from the folks. You have no idea how incredibly rare this is for us. The food, we asked and they suggested 'the Favorite' which includes tenders, enough fries to few small family, a slice of buttered bread, side of coleslaw and a drink. I got Diet Coke and the lovely Mrs got sweet tea. She's real particular about her sweet tea and she stated this could be one of the best teas she's had? The chicken was meaty, crispy and delicious. The fries were fresh out of the cooker so they were perfect. It was all tasty! No clue how it took so long for us to give this place a try. We will, for sure, be back when we are back in the area. If you're anywhere close to Dayton, craving chicken tenders, and want to support a local mom and pop store. Go here! And ask for extra Hive Sauce... it's so good..."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (34) • $

"Pleasant young man at the window took my order, cashed me out and handed me food - quickly received my food! I love the honey lemon pepper wing sauce it is fire. Only disappointment is the portion of red beans & rice side. I know portion tools are involved, but it's seriously skimpy for the cost margin. It's yummy but that's literally five bites of rice and mainly red bean sauce."

Taco Bell

★★☆☆☆ 2 (25) • $

"Our family just moved to Independence and I have tried to give this particular Taco Bell a chance four times. Every single time something is not right with my order. Today I ordered 3 supreme tacos with extra cheese. I was charged $1.50 for extra cheese, which is fine because I want it. However, I get home (3 miles away) and no extra cheese on any of the tacos AND 2 of the tacos were soggy and old. I couldn't even pick them up!!!! Employee in drive through was very friendly but the person making the food SUCKED! I won't be back!!!!"

Subway

"Needed to take a treat to the students where I tutor in an afterschool program, so I stopped in a convenience market at this same address to get donuts, advertised on the store's sign.
