West Social Tap & Table

Much love for West Tap and Social. I once lived in Dayton but now only visit annually witnessing both urban decline and revival over the years. West Social Tap and Bar is a huge bright spot on the west side of downtown. It's a trendy food court and bar that has something for everyone. Expect to look for street parking, I didn't see a lot. There were five eateries open during my visit strategically placed around the parameter of the building. In the center of the building is a huge oval bar with a skilled bartender. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the DJ which was on duty as early as 6 pm on a weekday. Tall overhead bay doors opened up to an outdoor seating area. My meal of choice was from Soca Caribbean, their jerk chicken was very good (not great) seems to be covered with bbq sauce. My wife grabbed a meal from De'Lish, fried fish that tasted great. I can't wait for my next visit, this place is a must.

Amazing experience from start to finish. So happy Dayton has something like this. We parked on the street and got a booth. Ordered from Delish, Illys, and the Filipino spot. All were sooo good, and ready quick. Plus the staff at each spot were so friendly. Can't wait to recommend this spot to anyone living in or visiting Dayton. I would come back in a heartbeat.

My wife had a small procedure and wanted some comfort food. What better option than Mz Jades Soul Food!! Every single dish just has so much flavor, and her passion of great dishes just shows with each bite. The catfish, whiting, greens, yams, etc....all amazing! Many shout outs to Mz Jades and her staff, because this is food done right!!!

Love that something like this is coming to Dayton. Food hall style with a bar in the middle. Lots of TVs for sports viewing and lots of options for food. Everything smelled amazing when we entered. Plenty of options at each site, and easy enough to walk between the restaurants. Not tons of staff interaction, but everything was clean and we were happy with our experience

It's the newest trend in casual dining- the food mall. I love this place- it's vibrant and hopping with folks of all ages and ethnicities. The central bar is quite impressive with a couple dozen beers on tap, all kinds of liquor that you won't find in an average bar. Even port. And, their own house margarita also on tap! Bar service is very good, attentive, and the barmaids are professional and knowledgeable. You can even get a breakfast cocktail here any day of the week!It's got the exposed brick/industrial look, high ceilings, and it's loud. They have a collection of board games if you're so inclined. Sit anywhere you want. Mostly tables but there is a small number of booths, you might get lucky. Walk up to any of the five independent locally owned takeout counters, place your order and get a pager to be notified when to return to grab your food. Or do it with a smartphone - if you're so inclined. Me, I prefer the face to face interaction with the friendly and enthusiastic staff.The place is kept very clean, tables bussed and wiped and floor swept after the patrons leave.The coffee bar is really part of the actual bar. I have not seen a significant amount of bakery offerings, maybe earlier in the day? I'd go full five stars with maybe one more dining choice, and/or something a little more special than tacos in one of the slots. But all in all West Social is a great option, very unique, and I'm definitely a fan.

More businesses need to be on this side of 3rd Street, and this place is a great start. Combination of Cajun-Creole, Filipino, Caribbean, street tacos, pizza, + a full bar.Collard Greens and Soul Rolls were both great. The birria tacos were fantastic, but I was hoping it wasn't so flat and thin. The lumpia were short and am used to them being much longer. The macaroni balls were good and even though some items are fried and not healthy they make it taste delish.Definitely going back to try other items.

Great new spot to check out in W. Dayton!! No matter where I am or what cuisine I might be in the mood for, just about EVERYTHING tastes better in a food hall, or at least it seems that way. I was here on a lazy Saturday afternoon, and wasn't quite ready for a big meal yet, so was more or less checking it out for future visits. I challenge you to not have a long, tough debate with yourself on whether to order at the Caribbean, Mexican (taco), pizza, or Philippine counters. If I were hungrier, I probably would have sampled a bit of everything, but decided on a couple of tasty Philippine lumpia at the Lumpia Queen. A warm welcome from the owner, along with a bit of their history made my quick meal even more delicious!! I'll be back...Don't miss this wonderful new spot in an often overlooked area of Dayton. There's also a great coffee shop and cozy bar. You can even come in early for some wonderfully tempting breakfast specials... Locally owned and operated, super clean, and full of fresh, flavorful options, this is definitely a "not to be missed" spot on Dayton's culinary landscape!! CHECK IT OUT...!!!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch one afternoon. Neither of us had ever been. Yet, we truly enjoyed the environment and the food options. We both tried Caribbean Cuisine. I ordered the oxtail dinner with pineapple upside down cake and he order jerk bbq wings and jerk ribs. I enjoyed my meal. It was very very filling. I couldn't finish all of it. The dessert was a no for me. I was expecting yellow cake but instead it was a very cinnamon cake. It did not taste good at all. I threw it away after 2 bites. My husband liked the taste of his but he was expecting jerk seasoning and he said there wasn't any jerk seasoning on either meat. We will definitely go back to try other restaurants. I think it's a wonderful idea to have a "food mall" near downtown. I like the area, the parking and the ambiance. It's a must try for everyone.

I love food halls, and it sorta seemed like a nice, interesting place. It's next to the Wright Brothers museum on 3rd Street in Dayton. The park ranger said the catfish and burgers were great there, so I came in hungry and excited. I saw a few restaurants, mostly world-themed such as Caribbean, Thai, Mexican. Then a soul-food and wood-fired pizza place and a bar. I chose the Taco Street Company, which I gave them a terrible review (yea yea check it out!). Wish I would've went with the pizza place. They do have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. But the bad experience from the taco place killed the vibe for me.

I love the atmosphere here and I love supporting black owned businesses. They do a great job here with everything. Great food, great service. I can't wait to go back.
