Came here for lunch. I had a blackened grouper sandwich and a side of beans and rice. Food was excellent and so was the service. We'll be back! Oh, I also noticed a good selection of craft beers on tap so I'll definitely be back when I'm not working!

I got the grouper with lemon sauce and steamed broccoli. It was delicious (I ate every bite!). I was with a group and everyone seemed to enjoy their entrees. The pretzel appetizer was also amazing! ?

Today, I had the opportunity to go for lunch and I have to say, I do plan on going back. It was busy during lunch time, which to me was a good sign. We looked over the menu and there were a lot of things that sounded good. They had quite a few choices for burgers and the rest of the menu was a combination of sandwiches, tacos, and seafood items. I found it to be an interesting array of options.Companion one ordered the Turkey Rachel, which was I guess what you would call the female version of a Reuben. It consisted of sliced turkey breast, swiss cheese, and coleslaw, on toasted DLM bread w/ 1000 island dressing on the side. Companion one substituted the house made chips for the pub fries. Companion one commented that the sandwich was excellent. The bread was toasted to perfection, so that it did not scrape the roof of your mouth. The ratio of turkey to coleslaw was excellent. Although the dressing was there to put on the sandwich, it was not needed because the coleslaw had the right amount of mayo and vinegar that complimented the sandwich. The fries were excellent as well. Nice and crispy. Companion two had the California burger, cooked medium w/ swiss cheese, lettuce, hold the onions, pickles, avocado spread, and secret boom sauce w/ a side of the house made chips. The burger was cooked perfectly medium and was nice and juicy. Although the onions would not have hurt, the pickles gave the burger a nice pop of flavor that was unexpected and worked well. The bun, which I believe was a brioche was delicious and held up well w/ the juicy burger. The chips were enjoyed but would definitely go for the pub fries next time. Companion three was very intrigued by the sticky fingers burger so an inquiry was made. The waitress smiled and said it was her favorite. The sticky fingers burger was topped w/ melted pepper jack cheese, bacon slices, Asian sweet chili sauce and peanut butter. There were jokes made about the right kind of peanut butter needing to be used. Would it be crunchy or smooth? Skippy or Jif? As soon as companion three picked up the burger, some of the peanut butter fell out, so that answered one of the questions……smooth. As to the brand, who knows, but the burger was excellent. Considered one of the best burgers companion three has had so far this year. The combination of sweet chili sauce and peanut butter played very well together. As a disclaimer though, it was a very messy burger and should have been cut in half. Companion three needed all the napkins. It was felt perhaps the peanut butter should have been on the side, to control how much was applied to the burger. It was also felt that the next time, the pub fries would be a better choice. They were very good. As for me, I was in the mood for fish, so I went w/ the fish and chips. There were a few other fish options on the menu that were grouper. I couldn’t remember if I had ever had grouper before, so I just stuck w/ the beer battered cod and pub fries, with coleslaw. Now, I am usually a KFC coleslaw girl, but I gotta say, this coleslaw was better than KFC. Not too wet and not too tangy. Also tasted as if there were perhaps celery seeds in it that gave it a nice flavor twist. The pub fries were excellent. I don’t know if they were flash fried, twice fried or what, but they were nice and crispy, with just a slight hint of seasoning on them. As for the fish itself, that was a misstep for me. There was no seasoning on the fish or batter. There was really nothing special about it. I could have trusted the Gorton’s Fisherman. That was my fault and I own it. However, I will say this, I would like to go back and see what they have for dinner. The prices are reasonable and its worth giving a try. I just might even have to try the sticky fingers burger.

**best place to grab a bite in the Dayton area**This place is a banger and is worthy of it's high reviews! Buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer on a cold day really hit the spot. They offer great options for kid's meals. My only advice is to get here early. Our server Emma was amazing ?Kid-friendliness: Even though they aren't on the menu they have several options for kids including grouper fingers.
