hadn't been here in awhile, but a Friend Asked Me to Meet Him Today for Lunch. Service was Spot On,Karugu was Very Attentive! Soup of the Day (Clam Chowder) was Delicious and came Out Hot and Fresh! Opted for a Grilled Cheese Sandwich which came with Chips and it was One of the Best I've Had (I'm a Grilled Cheese Snob too)! Don't Sleep on this Local Eatery it's YUMMY! Highly Recommend! 6Stars out of Five!

I was in town for business and met my brother here for dinner. What a cool, eclectic place to eat! Ambiance was absolutely stellar and the service was excellent!! Food and beer choices? Brace yourself! Ladder 11 offers a wide array of brews on tap and their menu is never ending! I tried the "Ladder 11" sandwich and was glad I did: INCREDIBLE!! Give it a whirl!

Great historic restaurant in Dayton across from the Miami Valley hospital (maternity ward). The atmosphere, appetizers and staff were all excellent. A must see place, in our opinion. Stu and T.

This place is great! The food is of the comfort variety. Very cool setting of a retired and retrofitted firehouse just off of the historic Oregon District in downtown Dayton. We had a very friendly and diligent server and busser combo - I wish I could remember their names, sorry but they were really great! I got their signature 'Ladder 11' sandwich and it lived up to the hype.

Absolute perfection! I love Ladder 11!! This was my 2nd time here and like the first it was perfect. My partner and I always sit at the bar. The bar staff couldn't have been more friendly and attentive! Great work! Tonight I had the Smothered sirloin steak with house salad and steamed broccoli. This meal was completely perfect! Seriously it couldn't have been better. The house salad was wonderful with house made ranch. The steak though, wow!...cooked to perfection. Beautiful crust on the outside and perfectly cooked to rare (as I ordered) on the inside. Then topped with sautéed onions, mushrooms and blue cheese on top. I love Ladder 11 and I'm sure you will too! I absolutely recommend them!!

I had lunch here today in this old firehouse. They have their own parking lot behind the restaurant but it fills up quickly. Fortunately there is a lot of free street parking back there too. Inside Jimmies has a lot of character with an attractive old time rustic decor. I was in the mood for a sandwich and they have several to choose from. I went with the Cornerstone for $13. It comes with chips but I opted to sub up for the hand cut fries for an extra $2 more. My lunch took at least 20 minutes to appear but my waiter was nice enough to apologize due to then having a large party upstairs that backed up the kitchen. That's ok as I appreciated the explanation. The Cornerstone has grilled steak slices and sautéed onions topped with some tomato and garlic slaw with a few French fries added and all held together on a toasted Hoagie bun. I liked this sandwich ok but hoped for a little more steak and onions for added flavor. I did not care for the 3-4 fries added to the sandwich as the fries overpowered the rest of the sandwich. On the other half of the sandwich, I took the fries off and enjoyed it better than the first half. Actually I liked their hand cut fries and am glad I ordered them just not on the sandwich. They were golden brown and full of potato flavor and I recommend upgrading to the fries when you can. They were excellent! My table service was very attentive and I would be happy to return.
