Slyder's Tavern

5 star Walleye lunch and 5 star service today Jan 3rd 2025. I had researched and saw the nice reviews from all the patrons who enjoyed the fried walleye lunches and dinners from this tavern and today my dad and I stopped a little afternoon time for a quick bite to eat. We each ordered the walleye special and got a small mini pitcher of beer to share. The place was packed on a Friday and we had to wait just a couple minutes to be seated at a table next to the Christmas tree and the corner, which was a great spot for two people to sit It was our first time there, and our waitresses name was Tori, and she was very helpful and absolute top notch great service in all category that a waitress should have from friendliness to bringing things quickly to ringing up our veterans discount on our meal getting us served promptly the bill was quickly brought to us and we left so they could see others and keep making some money and tipsThe fish was fantastic. Our serving was three nice large pieces of walleye each french fries coleslaw and they brought all the condiments out to the table, including vinegar if we chose. Our meal was served very quickly, considering how busy they were. All was piping hot and the fish was absolutely cooked to perfection. It was about a 20 mile round-trip for us to get out there from Miamisburg, but we will definitely be back for more great lunches.

A travesty was rectified this evening when we ventured over to Slyder's Tavern. How have I never been there before?! Classic, cozy, neighborhood bar complete with jukebox, we started with some hard ciders and fried mushrooms. R had a melt and I had a classic cheeseburger with American. You know I can't pass up a good onion ring, so I had those instead of chips. SO GOOD!! Not the biggest place ever and the lot was definitely too small for all the people who wanted in tonight, but overall, the perfect neighborhood bar & grille. Easy on the wallet, too

By far the best burger, because it's in my hometown (IYKYK). We visit here at least once a month- it is our favorite local joint. The service is always tops, the beer selection is always fresh and new (with the regulars on tap too), and the burgers are 100! Every time. I have NEVER had a bad burger here. I usually get the Bacon Cheeseburger MR with American cheese- what can I say, I'm a purist- and fries. My husband gets the same but larger one and subs out for onion rings then won't let me steal any because "I made my choice". I guess since I'm vegan now, I should ask Joe to add a portobello burger or beyond burger or something. I'll let you know how that convo goes for me- HA!It can be loud, and extremely busy but that is what Slyders is because it's amazing. Be ready to wait, even to sit at the bar, if you go at peak burger hours there may not even be a place to stand while you wait. Also, Friday walleye is great and you get a lot. So, if you're reading this during lent- they have options!

Slyders is a Dayton classic nestled in the Belmont neighborhood, very much a friendly place "where everybody knows your name". As the name implies, they're known for their burgers I love that you can customize to your heart's desire with 7 or 10 oz burgers. Onion rings are a must try. Reuben's are my fav. My husband's favorite is the Guiseppe Burger which is the Daily Special on Thursdays. All their sandwiches and apps are amazing too. Even though they can be pretty busy around dinner hours, it's always worth the wait!

A great neighborhood tavern with a rich history of serving the Dayton community for decades! Slyders is a smaller tavern that is almost always busy and for a good reason. My wife and I recently moved to the neighborhood and have visited Slyder's every weekend for the last month. We have yet to find anything on the menu that wasn't amazing! My top picks are the Hamburgers, Ruben sandwich and the wraps. Everything is top notch. The team at Slyders all work as a team and even during busy times the servers make sure you are fully taken care of.

Second time here for a burger. A much better experience. Burger was hot and served as requested. Really tasty! Fries were underwhelming and just warm at best. The kitchen is inconsistent. Burger was really good

This joint was jumping on mid-afternoon Saturday. A staff member caught our eyes and directed us to the only open table...later he shared that they were actually a little slow (!) at the moment. It's always busy here and for good reason. A boisterous, loud tavern experience. Amazingly good service. Jason welcomed us first timers warmly. He took our orders and explained the 3-person serving staff shared all duties. I saw all three on the floor and behind the bar at different times- bussing tables, mixing drinks, checking customers. There were at least three cooks I could see in the kitchen working non stop.Food was delicious and portions generous. The Reuben sandwich was the bomb - it was pressed between grilled buttered rye slices with the dressing on the side. A great idea. Such a happy friendly crowd, including those standing around the perimeter waiting patiently for seats. Parking is a little tight but I hear the Walgreens across the road makes their lot available to Slyder's patrons.This is a landmark establishment in business since 1948- here's to many many more years. Hope to return soon!

If I had $1 for every time I've had a great meal here I'd spend them all eating more here Today I had the chili and a BLT. They also have amazing burgers and the area's best onion rings.

Huge burgers and are so good.Service is fantastic and ambiance is truly clsssic old time bar!!

I'm giving this five stars if you are looking for one thing. This is the best burger in Dayton, at a fun older bar. Nothing fancy about it, just great burgers with beer on tap.Would recommend if that's what you are looking for.Service is decent, ambience is an older midwestern bar.Recommend the Monday special burger, with bbq. Also the onion rings are better than the fries.
