O'charley's Restaurant Bar - Dayton

We were promptly seated with five others on Easter Sunday. Our waitress was fantastic. It had been a while since my last visit to O'Charlie's, and I was a bit disappointed to find that some of my favorite dishes were no longer on the menu.

We were here for over 2 hours. Everyone seemed to work in slow motion. We ordered food and drinks at the same time since we were seated for 30 minutes before our server came by. Then another 20-25 minutes before drinks. When the food came everyone’s came out except one. They had to wait 15 minutes longer for their food because “another server took it”. Food came out cold. We asked for pie when we got refills, we got refills and waited even longer for our server to come see what pies we wanted. When one of us asked if a certain item was included our server got an attitude and said “uh. No.” This will definitely be on our list of places not to come back to.

O’charley’s has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure if all stores are as bad as this one on Miller Ln in Dayton Ohio but I can imagine if they are I feel like the end is near for the franchise. The service was awkward, some random people were friendly but overall not well received. A gentleman brought out our food and asked if we needed anything else so we asked for refills on our water and instead of refilling the water the guy said he would find our waitress. She didn’t come back until we were ready to leave. The rolls were not warmed, they tasted like they were taken out of a bag and put in our basket. We were given black paper plates instead of the usual glass plate. The loaded potato soup was watered down and not real warm. The steak was gray in color and looked/tasted boiled. The chicken tenders were not the famous chicken tenders. I’m guessing they ran out of them and resorted to store bought frozen tenders. We will never be back unless drastic changes are made. Such a disappointment to a once amazing place.

This is by far the best O'Charley's location I've ever visited! The staff is incredibly friendly from the moment you enter. The manager personally visits every table to check in, and they are just as welcoming. The restaurant is consistently clean, and I love the recent updates that have made it look fantastic! They are also great at accommodating large groups. The food is always served hot, fresh, and delicious! I will definitely be frequenting this location and will recommend it to everyone I know!

5/15/2023 I visited this place on April 30th as it was my daughter's 17th birthday. This is the 2nd time I've eaten here. The last time was 7 yrs ago on my mom's 65th birthday. In all of that time my daughter remembered how delicious O'Charley's rolls were. So that's where she had her meal. Of course she was super basic and got chicken tenders fries, her friend got the mac -n- cheese with chicken pieces on top (it was actually good) and I got loaded nachos (their version of loaded nachos) and a loaded baked potato. The potato was the bomb! For the most part the nachos were delicious....that also had chicken in it. The only complaint I have is that O'Charley needs to get a better brand of tortilla chips....they were so flavorless that if I weren't seeing myself EAT the chips I could swear I was eating CARDBOARD!!! Absolutely NO TASTE, NO SALT, NO FLAVOR! Other than that the food was alright. Maybe next time I'll bring my own tortilla chips swap theirs out.....PURCHASE BETTER TASTING TORTILLA CHIPS O'CHARLEY!!!
