Rax Roast Beef

Great. Took me back to a different time! Uncle Alligator meals and toys. The roast beef sandwhich were on par. Fries were outstanding with cheese. Soda was great.

I drive 2 1/2 hours to get to this place and find out the lobby is closed so figured I'll eat in the car no biggie. I go to the drive-through to find out that they have no roast beef. Deal breaker......, drove off never again plus Dayton Ohio is a real turd of city. The cats next-door were so cute though so they did get one star for that. Not sure how the roast beef was because this roast beef shop was all out of roast beef. They did have turkey ham and I believe chicken. Oh boy!!!! is rax known for their turkey ham or chicken? Never heard anything.Came for the roast beef . No lobby open no roast beef. Why not just close? Oh I forgot I should've ran there 2 1/2 hours for their turkey sandwich.Mmmmmmmmm

Rax in New Carlisle, OH, feels like a charming relic of the past. While the location operates as drive-thru only and could use a little TLC--like brighter lighting and a refreshed menu board--it still delivers where it counts: the food. Yes, the drive-thru is slower compared to today's fast-paced standards, but the friendly service and quality make up for it.Back at my hotel, I was impressed with the meal. The fries were a pleasant surprise: thicker, like old-school Wendy's fries, and while not crispy, they had a great flavor. The Big Beef sandwich wasn't as loaded as I remembered, but the roast beef was tender, juicy, and delicious--every bite brought back great memories from years ago.To top it off, this place is a fantastic value. My entire meal--Big Beef sandwich, large fries, and a drink--was under $11! That's a rarity these days and made the experience even more satisfying.Rax may be a little rough around the edges, but it has so much potential. The nostalgic charm, delicious food, and affordable prices make me hope this gem gets the love it deserves. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

We were out driving and decided to stop. We ordered some sandwiches, tenders, and sides. Let's start with the good. The beef and cheddar was good, a little skimpy on the meat, but better than the big chain place that serves similar food. I ordered the beef and cheddar, but my husband was kind enough to share some of his mushroom Swiss, it was so much better than the beef and cheddar. The fries? Some of the best in town. I thought they could use a little more salt, but the family was super happy with them as is. The onion petals were also very good. I really enjoyed the mozzarella sticks too, nice cheese pull and crispy. The one thing we were really disappointed with were the tenders. They were over cooked and had an odd spongy texture. My daughter described them as what she thinks slightly melted styrofoam would feel like. The taste of the tenders was fine, just that weird texture. The fact that the foods they're know for and the service were good rates them 4 stars. The tenders almost brought them down to two, but really, that's not that primary style of food. They are drive through only, the signs on the windows say "lobby is closed" and it's looks like the dining room is a storage area. I'd be great if they could clean that up and open it for dine-in.

Gosh, I wanted to give this a five star review so bad. We used to have a Rax in our area, but it's been gone for yeaaaarrrrrs, so I was excited to come here. I especially remember their baked potatoes. Guess what? This location doesn't have baked potatoes (*yet, they said). My child did eat the roast beef sandwich and enjoyed it. I had the Italian sandwich and it was really messy and kind of soggy. The physical building looks a little run-down and the dining room is not open. There are things covering the windows, so at first it looks like it is not open for business at all. Drive-thru service only. I might give it another try if I am in the area again, but I really wanted that baked potato.

You won't need to area a DeLorean to get your Rax fix. Rax is still alive and it is exactly like it always was. Arby's may have the meats but Rax has sesame seed buns. Those were once like a Michelin star among fast food. McDonald's even sang about sesame seed buns back in Rax' heyday.If you're driving along I-70, take the extra couple of minutes to go a mile off the interstate and take a trip down memory lane. It will be everything you ever remembered.

We wanted a new place to try around Dayton that was fast. This was nostalgic for us and fast. Food was good.

Rax Roast Beef is a trip down memory lane. I have gone here at least once a week since Rax bought this former Rancher Roast Beef. It was bought during COVID so the dinning room has always been closed. If you want a real 80s trip, after you visit Rex go to the only Children's Palace toy store around.It is just a short drive away.

I couldn't believe this restaurant existed so I drove all the way from Cincinnati. The roast beef is even better than I remember from my childhood. The cherry turnover was great. Even the Coca-Cola tasted better than normal. Disappointed the lobby was closed but the drive through was efficient and friendly.
