“This place has most definitely been kept alive by a local lunch crowd from nearby factories and neighborhood folks. Clearly it's a hidden gem..As in the Gem City's hidden gem.. check it out if you get the chance. It's a no frills type of place but you won't regret it. PORK TENDERLOIN! I'm also told the monthly cabbage rolls are not too shabby“
“I have always taken my children to the Dining Hall at the AFB I was stationed at. As a Supervisor, I usually worked the next day so I wanted to spend the day with them. I cooked our family Thanksgiving dinner on the weekend.The food at Pitsenbarger is very good. This year I took my Daught, Granddaughter & 2 Great-Grandchildren. We didn't go until around 2pm (1400) so the lunch rush was over. There was still plenty at the salad bar. There was a wide variety of side items including Shrimp Ceviche, Puddings, Pies, Cookies, Cakes, Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef, Glazed Carrots, Corn, Glazed Sweet Potatoes, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Corn Bread, etc. Overall the food was very flavorful. The ham was a little dry, but still tasty.All of us were full & happy with our meals. The little bit that was leftover was taken home & will be consumed tomorrow. The atmosphere is nice & quiet with football games on all the TVs, but not load enough to interrupt conversations. We all had a very nice time.“
“If you want to be transported into a comforting, older restaurant in the Dayton area this is your place. It has smooth music playing while you eat food that you’d imagine a 75-80 year old would eat. This is not to discourage because the freshly carved meat is delicious and the desserts are even better. Everything here is perfect for grandparents considering I was there at lunch time on a Saturday and I was youngest person there besides the teenage workers. They were very kind and had impeccable manners, calling me Ma’am and Miss even though I was their age.“
