This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

This is my favorite breakfast place I’ve had in Dayton so far. Everything on the menu is good. Delicious berry french toast, unique items like the blueberry bites or Belgium sugar waffles, and simple pancakes done right. If you’re looking for a great breakfast spot you’ve found it!

Tiny place with excellent food. They give you a pager and try to get you seated fast. It's definitely worth the short wait. The next time my brother is in town, I'm taking him here. Cheese and egg croissantwich with a waffle as a side. Delicious!

I have been a huge fan of this restaurant ever since it started and was a regular for a while before I got too busy to make regular visits. It started as this local spot with only a few items knocking it out of the park every time, and have grown to this incredible menu of probably my favorite breakfast place of all time. I'm always thrilled to be back and here and am looking forward to every time I can make it. The food is always excellent, the service is great, and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Can't recommend this place enough

Funky little place. They serve breakfast and main menu all the time they are open. Tater tots are their potato side. The bacon was so good. I can’t resist a good biscuit. My grands enjoy their children’s menu. They had a several local bags of coffee beans available. Attentive service. Lots of fun local art on walls to enjoy.

I have been meaning to visit the Ugly Duckling for awhile now. I know many people who have been to it. I invited some co workers to it and I was worried they wouldn't like it. We all enjoyed it. First off, the service was fast. I believe it was less than 10 minutes after we ordered that our food arrived in the order that they were taken. I think that says alot. The food was great. I had the chicken and waffles. It was alot but I was able to get through it. Everyone else had to bag their food. I was super hungry since I got up early and did not eat anything. It is definitely family friendly and they have a big menu. It's a great place to take a date, have family brunch, or meet up some friends. I can't wait to go again.
