Chappys Social House

A friend said this was one of his favorite places in Dayton, so when we had a chance to meet up here, we took it. A decent beer menu, pared down a little bit from before, but still plenty of Stukes to choose from. The whole table just got the fried chicken, which is the house special. It did not disappoint. Crispy, tasty, moist. Just a great fried chicken. Friendly waitress. TVs around, so you can check out the games, but not so loud or overpowering l, made conversations easy.

Stopped by on Friday night after work, we were seated right away, but the booth we were seated in the cushions were all torn up & there was a flashing light over the table going nonstop so we moved to the bar areaI ordered a beer, they have great craft beer selection, but it took ten minutes to receive it, it was poured, saw it on the counter but had to wait for bartender to bring to where we were seated at the bar to enjoy it.We ordered fish sandwich, as I heard it's one of the best fish sandwiches in town & Buffalo chicken sandwich, both sandwiches were great.& loved the homemade blue cheese dressing it was filled with chunks of blue cheese! Now our sides were cold, fries & Mac & cheese. I sent mine back, hoping for better experience on a future visit.

I have to admit. Chappy's was our go-to place at their original location. We have been to the new location a few times but decided to try it again after about a year. First, service was lacking. It took about 5-7 minutes for the server to greet us. Then another 5-7 minutes to get our drinks. Server took our orders without writing it down, which always worries me. My husband ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and soup. I ordered the Davey Boy with the mashed potato casserole. My husband's soup didn't arrive and he had to ask for it. Then our food arrived minus my husband's fries. I don't know if this was a server problem or a kitchen problem. My burger was fine. Nothing special. The potato casserole, which I remembered as being creamy and cheesy, was very salty.My husband's buffalo chicken sandwich was very good and a generous portion. Inside is very spacious and has quite a few large parties celebrating various things. I don't know that we will be back. The mediocre food is not worth the price.

We have been here twice recently a fun place with a great beer menu. They have been running a special in September 2 for $22 it is an amazing meal. I feel guilty two entrees two sides each and desert. The service is great and I frankly think this is the best fried chicken in Dayton.

The food was fabulous and quick. We had the sauerkraut balls which were delish, and smoked wings were to die for!

1 for 2. I went back because the last time it was so good. (See my other review on Chappys). But this time was very disappointing. The service was really slow. It was one of those uncomfortable situations where when I wanted to place my drink order, or need a refill... I had to spend a long time looking all around for my waitress. And they weren't especially busy. I got the smoked wings again because they were so good last time. But tonight they seemed like they were old or over done. I was sitting in the bar area because that's where I usually have the best experience but not this time. All restaurants have bad nights so if I'm in the area I'd give them another shot but not before looking at the trends here on yelp. Maybe my previous good experience was the outlier.

We are there tonight and everything about our experience was excellent! My hubby's ribs were flavorful and tender! My mahi mahi was yum and the grilled skewer veggies outstanding! Our server Deborah was very attentive, even though busy! If we lived in Dayton we would make this a habit!

My husband and I tried this place for date night on a Friday night. We got right in with no wait. It wasn't busy at all. They had someone doing music in the bar area, but we sat in the main dining area. Our server was very nice and checked on us frquently. The food was ok. Nothing fantastic but not bad either. I would eat here again.

The food was excellent!! I was the only one to order the mashed potatoes, but they got passed around the entire table of 9, because they were that good! My whole family and our friends were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. It was our first time eating there! The atmosphere was nice and pleasant. Our server was great. The possible manager and hosts at the front were not as friendly. I'm just glad that we didn't allow that to deter us from trying the place out.

Sorry I don't have pics . Ok so this has nothing to do with our server. She rocked. Went with family to celebrate a birthday last Thursday. Stood at the hostess desk for what seemed like 8 minutes. Finally got seated. My hubs ordered the salmon which he said was dry and not tasteful. My friend had the boneless pork chop which she said was flavorful and good. I had the vegetarian chili. Wow spicy but delicious. Everyone else had the chicken which looked overdone! It was dry and tough. The appetizers were tasty. Buffalo chicken dip and pretzel bites. The place wasn't busy but all the guests were spread out and our server got a 15 top on the other side of the restaurant!! Im not sure about returning. I'm on the fence. Prices seemed a bit high. Was an ok looking place. If you remember Champps, it's the same location. Not impressed.
