COCO'S BISTRO REVIEWS

Can’t believe this adorable place just happens to be in Dayton, Ohio. The atmosphere is a whole vibe, including the decor and seating. The service was outstanding. I live in Atlanta, but somehow I’ve been to Coco’s twice in 5 months; the great service and fantastic food is no fluke. The food was also outstanding. Somebody in that kitchen is a chef, for sure. I got the pork shoulder with grits. It was magnificent. And they put warm focaccia bread on the table when you arrive. And I give their Brussels sprouts appetizer a 10 out of 10. Great portions. Great tasting food. I guess this is my place now whenever I’m in Dayton.

This was my first time at Cocos and it was great ! We went for restaurant week so we had the pre selected menu. The mushroom soup was delicious and the gumbo was great too. I didn’t care for the pear gallate but that’s me personally. The bread served with their butter was a great touch. The service and atmosphere was so nice. Can’t wait to go back again.

A good place in Dayton. Excellent service and great ambiance. The food was very good. Fried Brie, The Birde and Linguine all were really good. A tad bit pricey-but good for special occasions.

CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE DAYTON REVIEWS

One of the best Cracker Barrels everything was perfect. My server was knowledgeable and attentive. The chicken fried steak cut with my fork and melted on my mouth. Definently world recommend. I love mimosas and the strawberry mimosa was on point.

I love Cracker Barrel. Our server, Key, was super attentive to our needs and very nice personality. The store had interesting items, some new and some familiar to us. The food, per usual was delicious! Thank you Key and team for providing us with a lovely time.

Our server Brittany W was ABSOLUTELY amazing at her job! She was so incredibly kind and made the experience so enjoyable!
