O'riley's Tavern - Dayton

They would be so much better if they went back to delivering

Pretty quiet night, one girl keeping it all moving. Good service. Tasty food.

I didn't have high expectations when I walked in, but I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were tasty, although they could have been spicier considering it was their hottest sauce. I'd say it had a solid medium heat level, but they were still very good. The atmosphere was comfortable, and I definitely plan to return! Our waitress, who was also the bartender, did an excellent job. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit!

Service was crazy SLOW! They were fairly busy, with a good crowd at the bar and a few tables occupied, but it was way too much for the SINGLE PERSON they had behind the bar AND waiting tables. Eventually, someone came out from the back a couple of times, but I don 't think it really did much to lighten the load of the woman who was doing all the other front of house work. being from Philly, I was leery of trying the Texas Philly...melt, I think it was. It wasn 't bad, but it wasn 't great, either. I always enjoy getting Texas toast with my meal, but this really didn 't stand out. My husband said the fish and chips were nothing to write home about . He can 't even remember whether they came with steak fries or regular french fries, and they only had a tiny splash of malt vinegar left for them. Really curious to know whether that poster for a pickle pizza was an April fools joke that was still hanging around, or not. Nice enough atmosphere for what it was, a pretty cozy place to chill, if you like the food.

Winner winner! Come for dinner! We 've been here four times and they are consistently top notch. It 's a perfect realization of a pub public house. It 's cozy and welcoming, lighting is on the lower side. Got a big, comfortable bar, dining area with high or low tops or booths. Part of it is set well away from the bar if you 're with the little ones. Add a pool table, a reasonable amount of TVs, friendly folks and cheerful, attentive bartenders and waiters/waitresses, what more do you need? Oh, the food! To date have had BLT, homemade soup, ribs, Philly Cheese toasted sub, pretzel bites, and the fabulous fish and chips. Everything is way above average, even the fries and coleslaw are worth a mention. They actually have more than one brand of Malt Vinegar to dress your fish and chips. The BLT, which is one of my casual dining litmus tests, was superb. Cut in quarters, perfectly toasted bread the bacon doneness exactly right. The ribs so tender and sliding off the bone with a sauce that does not overwhelm. There 's Red Pepper Relish included on some items or you can get a small side for 75 cents. I added this to my Philly cheese, boom! If you like to spice things up, don 't miss this. O 'Riley 's is my 'supper club ' as they open at 3 PM every day except Sunday (noon). Get in here.
