The Pine Club
An excellent steakhouse located just off of the campus of the University of Dayton, this is one of the area's most renowned restaurants. The menu is famously almost unchanged since its founding in 1947, with a list of large steaks plus a few dishes that were common in the mid-1900s but are unusual now, like sardines on rye, and liver and onions, but with no chicken or vegetarian dishes. This old-school restaurant only accepts cash and personal checks. It does not take reservations – even George H. W. Bush, when he was Vice President of the United States, was refused a reservation.
Mon-Thu 4–10PM, Fri Sat 4:30–11:00PM$80–100 for steaks, $40 for hamburgers
