Carlisle Inn, Walnut Creek (Amish Country), OH

I had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely the place to stay in Amish Country. I won't stay anywhere else now, and am looking forward to coming back for when I need to "get away from it all." The views are great and I loved sitting out on the balcony and just gazing at the landscape.

Liked — sitting on the balcony with the beautiful views
Disliked — the free choc chip cookies could have been better

Cena Brazilian Mediterranean, Centerville/Miamisburg, Ohio

My husband and I tried this restaurant during "Restaurant Week" meaning we paid half price. The meal wasn't even worth the discounted price! I can't imagine paying full price.

First, the salad bar was mediocre to poor. For the price, it needs to be higher quality. The selection was average and the quality was below average.The meat was awful. I only had a bite or two of the 5 meats they brought out. They were tough and dry and just plain unappetizing.

To its credit, the ambiance was nice. If the food were good, it would be a romantic place to go, however, I don't advise going.

All in all, I don't think this place is going to make it. For the prices, they need to drastically improve the quality. But to do that, it would probably diminish their profit margin.

Greek Isle Deli, Fairborn, OH

I was pleasantly surprised with this reasonably priced, good tasting Greek deli/restaurant when I tried it today for the first time. They have a good assortment of the traditional Greek foods I love: grape leaves, hummus, falafels, tabouli (sp?), and gyros. I tried their spinach and feta pie for the first time and it was wonderful!

It is very well priced, too. So many Greek restaurants are over-priced, but not this one. This place is definitely worth trying.

Quizno's in Fairborn, OH

This is one of the worst managed/run Quizno's I have been to.

I have been here probably 10 - 15 times in the last 6 months and every time I go, there is only one person working because a) no one else was scheduled or b) the other employees didn't show up. It seems as though whoever actually shows up for work has to make up for those who skip out on work. The reason I know this is because the person working seems so tired and worn out, so I ask where the other employees are and they tell me the answers above.

The employees that actually show up are really nice and friendly as people, but you can tell they don't care about this job at all. I probably wouldn't either! Quizno's needs to find a different manager and/or owner before this one restaurant gives the rest of the chain a bad name.

Abuelo's in Beavercreek, Ohio

We eat here about once a week. There is something for every kind of budget and I haven't had anything I didn't like.

When I want to splurge, I order the Enchiladas de Cozumel - about $15 and absolutely amazing. For about $8 they have the enchilda plate and I get 2 enchiladas (Beef and avocado) with rice and beans. We primarily like to go at Happy Hour (M-F 4 - 6p.m.) because tacos are $1, and fajita tacos are $1.50. We can eat a full meal for less than $10 for the both of us.

Additionally, this was voted best Mexican Restaurant by Consumer Reports.

Chili's Restaurant in Beavercreek, Ohio

This was just ok. It is your average Chili's. I have eaten at pretty much every Chili's in the country and this ranked right in the middle -- not the best, not the worst. The service was worse than most Chili's, though.

Max & Erma's in Beavercreek, Ohio

The food was good, the service was good, but not worth the price. If someone else is paying, by all means -- go to Max & Erma's, you'll enjoy your meal. But when I am paying, I prefer to go to a hamburger place that is not as expensive.

Bob Evans in Fairborn, Ohio

I have not been to a Bob Evans in years. I usually prefer IHOP and Waffle House if I'm going to eat in a chain breakfast restaurant. So when I went to Bob Evans today, my expectations were low. However, the food was excellent!

Here's a run-down on what I ordered:Eggs over medium hard - Usually (even at my favorite breakfast restaurants) the eggs are too runny or too hard when I order medium hard. Today, they were perfect. Home Fries - I don't like home fries, but they came with my meal and were really good!Bacon - again, I usually don't eat pork, but they came with my meal and were also pretty good.

Blueberry crepe -- This was the best part! It was amazing!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good (and reasonably priced) this Bob Evans was!
