    First time going here, and ive been missing out. Pizza burger was amazing. Couldn't tell me that isnt Cassanos pizza sauce on that burger. Cuz it tasted like i was eating pizza and not a burger. Onion chips were great. Definitely ordering from here more often. Also super friendly staff and nothing but nice things to say.

    If you want the authentic west Dayton come here for some soul food. I would argue that this is the best soul food joint in Dayton. The pizza burger was slappable and had tasty banana peppers + red sauce and mozzarella. Mash potatoes were mid, and the corn bread was cooked the right way. The fried chicken got the job done but lacked a bit of spice 8/10 for Dayton.

    Found this spot on Google maps and it didn't disappoint!! I kept it simple with a bacon cheeseburger and fries and they were hot, fresh and delicious! You could tell the hamburger Was made with care and real ingredients! The level of crispiness on the fries what's on point! Since it was my first time there I didn't think to tell them it for here, so in our meal was ready and they realized we were eating inside, they show their professionalism and smoothly moved everything over to a tray. There was no huffing, no puffing, no blowing our vibe down, in fact, it was the complete opposite when the lovely the lady just happily pivoted, with her team stepping up flawlessly to help get us our condiments. This was refreshing to experience, and it made our girls day all the more memorable!! I'll be back, those ribs were looking smokin delicious! CASH ONLY!!!

    Good service, good food. The interior is reminiscent of an old farmhouse, prices are low, and there's a wide variety of southern sides. The only drawbacks are it's cash only and the bathroom is a one seater with outside entry only.
