Haven't seen it mentioned...Buona Vita in Dayton.

 

Really good food. Cool place.

Allyn's Cafe out past Ruby's is really good.

 

Allyn’s “more than a café” - - 513-871-5779

 

Do they still have live music at Allyn's? It has been a while since I was there. They used to have a jazz night.

That's where my rehearsal dinner is going to be. I talked Joe and Matthew into giving us the entire restaurant for the night. Should be awesome.

My buddy's now wife is cousins with the brothers and had them cater their rehearsal. Love that place. Plus they're clients of ours, so every now and then we can score some extremely discounted grub.

Anyone ever been to Spare Time Grill in Alexandria? Pass it all the time but never have been in. It has the look of an old time diner similar to Anchor Grill.

Have you ever sat at the table in the old bank vault? Had to try it once, the kids loved it.

Bellevue Bistro is an excellent place for lunch or breakfast.

Eli's is one I'm dying to check out. I hear the sides as well as the BBQ are awesome.

 

Excellent plug. :thumb: Does your mom still own it?

Mexican? For me it's always El Rio Grande in Newport.

[ColonelCrazy]

Yes! Have you been there?

 

Yup, I have been there. It was alright...not really my type of pizza, but most people really enjoy it.

I don't think they have live music anymore, but I'm not positive.

I'm not a big fish guy, but people rave about the fish (I think it's Cod) sandwich at Shakey's Pub & Grub in Florence (across from the Wildwood Inn).

 

Big, hearty portions too.

I live 5 minutes away and they have great brkfst food. When my son played Red Devils it was a tradition to eat there the day of the NKYFL Super Bowl.

Detroit Joes. Great burgers and home cooked meals.

 

Is that in Newport? If so we've wondered about it several times but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks, I'm going to have to stop one of these times as it looks like the kind of place I usually like.

I haven't read all the posts, so if this place has been mentioned already then I apologize.
