CULTURE

Delicious as always! I think about the wonton nachos at least once a week. The meat was cooked perfectly and there was a generous amount of all the toppings evenly throughout. The loaded potato gnocchi was this week's special (and the main reason we went), the gnocchi was cooked well and the cheese sauce was incredible. Our 13 year old got the drip burger with just cheese and the sauce, and even that blew us away! Perfect smash burger, amd the fries were super hot and crispy. We also got the biscoff desert to go and was very impressed.

I really liked their vegan fried lions mane sandwich. The bread, breading, and sauce were great. I wouldn't have minded even more sauce, but it was fine as-is. I'd recommend it to vegans, assuming this dish sounds fine to you. The menu is not huge but it seems like the dishes they do have are pretty good.

Seriously the best restaurant in Dayton hands down!!! The first time I had the Louisiana catfish with that amazing Cajun cream sauce on top of the catfish 🤤 with the rice & sausages had me feeling at home and the vibe of Fat Joe playing in the background with it being a rainy day had me feeling like I was on vacation in Florida 😂 Don't even let me get started about the biscoff tiramisu 🤌🏻but seriously if you are in the Dayton area and want some flavorful food with awesome friendly vibes you should definitely checkout Culture 🤗

Two meals. Two different days. Same verdict: absolutely nailed it. We started at Culture, and honestly… we had to come back and try the chef’s second spot because when food hits like this, you don’t ignore the sequel. At Culture, we ordered: Wonton Nachos – crispy, piled high, loaded with flavor, and dangerously easy to demolish. Pan-Seared Meatloaf – comfort food that went to culinary school. Rich, savory, and cooked perfectly. Then came round two at The Nood Bar at the Silos, and wow. The first three photos say it all: Crispy Fried Shrimp Bao – light, crunchy, saucy, and balanced. Zero grease bomb vibes. Crab Rangoon with pimento cheese – unexpected in the best way. Southern soul meets Asian street food and they get along beautifully. Buldak Karaage – crispy, spicy, bold, and addictive. This is not a “maybe I’ll try a bite” dish. This is a commitment. Two separate meals, two different times, same takeaway: ✨ Both restaurants are absolutely amazing. Creative, well-executed, and clearly run by someone who understands flavor and restraint (a rare combo). If you haven’t tried either yet—fix that. Your taste buds are bored and deserve better. 😌

This is my second time in. I came last year while visiting and this was my first stop when I got in this weekend. That mushroom sandwich is the best thing going. From the sauce to the bun, it's the best! The staff were great and the vibe is so chill. Note: to the petty person who gave the one star review, I call BS. That review was clearly a vendetta review and not an honest review of the establishment and it read like it was written by chatGPT. Highly recommend. Will always come back! 💜💜 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have been coming here for over a year, and there are so many great plates to choose from. The portions are generous. You will be filled. My personal favorite is the Birria Grilled Cheese. It's packed with protein and comes with a side of consommé. If you enjoy a French Dip sub from other places, the Birria Grilled Cheese will blow you away. Be sure to follow the business on their Instagram. They will sometimes open for late night service and place specials on the menu you will only know about by following them.

First time here and I know I will be back. I had the jerk chicken Mac and cheese. My partner had the pan seared meatloaf. Both were amazing. Can't wait to try something different.

Dinner at Culture last night took me OUT. Wonton nachos? Life-changing. That meatloaf? I’m convinced it had healing properties. 🤤😂 If you need me, I’ll be dreaming about that plate like it’s my soulmate.

If i end up on d3ath row id like jerk chicken mac n cheese from culture as my last meal pls. Service and music 10/10 absolutely incredible

Hands down the best place to eat in Dayton and the best restaurant I've eaten at in Ohio. Staff are super chill and friendly, they'll help recommend some food for you if you can't decide, seasonal menus so some things may change. Food portions are huge so I recommend sharing to try out most of their menu. Got their Wonton Nachos , bulgogi was seasoned great and chips were light and crispy! Jerk Chicken Mac n Cheese, super delicious; creamy Mac n cheese and the chicken was right on point! Out of all the things I'd highly recommend the Pan Seared Meatloaf! One of the best things on the menu in my opinion, perfect for 2 but meatloaf was tender and seasoned to perfection as well as the mashed potato's and green beans. Best comfort food around! And love the decor and culture in the restaurant, was a great vibe.

My friend and I visited this Black owned vegan restaurant while visiting Dayton. She's more of a veggie lover than I am, but I was in the mood to try something new. I tried the trippin on shrooms burger and it was surprisingly good! I was nervous about having a mushroom as my "meat" but it was flavorful and juicy. We also tried the wonton nachos. I'm not a fan of vegan cheese, so I picked around it but my friend was a fan. The Asian pear slaw sealed the deal for me though, that was really unique. They also sell popsicles but we were too full to try one this time.

The set up is pretty convenient and they are quick with the service. The nachos were okay but the sandwich was delicious and fries were crispy! No free water though.. If it wasn't so expensive, it would be a great go-to spot!

The food was phenomenal! Seasoning was on point and the flavor was in every bite. The staff friendly. Place was clean and very welcoming. Absolutely amazing experience, told us the new menus going out soon and we can't wait to go back!!!

If you want some delicious food definitely come here! We've been eyeing this place since we moved a few months ago and it didn't disappoint. Everything we ordered was good and now have my second round picks next time we go. Let's start off with how it's done... they have menu on the left when you come in and by the cash register you select and pay there and find seating then you wait for your food. The people were helpful when picking out what you wanted. It is a bit small but they have a few tables inside and out plus bar seating. Its was a great place nice vibe everyone truly enjoying their food. Again, we're coming back to try the rest of the menu at a later date. Thank you!

Food was AMAZING! Service was friendly! And the decor was fun! There were a handful of artisan, fusion and cultually staple menu items, it was hard to choose. P.S. Don't skip dessert, even if you don't eat it there or right away, take it to go. I got the banana pudding and it was FABULOUS! NOTE: Get there early, as in, at opening, if you a pick of the full menu offered & a seat.

This is a great spot in downtown Dayton. I came here for brunch and had the birria benedict. Every bite of this was out of this world good. It was a well balanced plate and I was sad when it was all gone. I also had the banana pudding and it was delicious! The perfect end to a meal.

From walking in until we left, what a welcoming establishment. We had sent a message before making the adventure from Cbus to Dayton. The chef had just gotten to our message as we walked in. Apologized and took the time to tell us what wasn't available on the menu today. Alyssa was super friendly and helped with taking our order and then the rest of the time we were there. We ordered the Birria Grilled Cheese, Drip Burger, Wonton Nachos, Jerk Chicken Mac-N-Cheese, Bourbon Glazed Wings, Bang Bang Srimp Tacos and assorted Lemonades. We were seated immediately, everyone in the place was super friendly. Bathrooms, clean and tidy. Chef came and checked on us and was gracious and will to take a pic with our son. Definitely a place to come back too, bring your family and friends!! Absolutely a place to come back to.

Culture has such a good vibe -- it feels like an urban diner with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor seating is super spacious, perfect for hanging out when the weather's nice. The menu is full of tempting options -- seriously, it was hard to choose just one thing. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled amazing. They definitely don't hold back on flavor, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. If you're looking for a chill spot with great food and good energy, Culture is it. Can't wait to go back and try more! Service was great too!!!!

I ordered the lions mane mushroom sandwich. Holy smokes. Excellent! It was very filling, and I was unable to finish my meal. Service was great too - the nice man working assured me he could help haul me to my car if I ate so much I couldn't walk.

I went to Culture for the first time today. I got there drip burger. I would highly recommend this burger, it was so delicious! I would definitely get it again. For my beverage, I got a gustos pineapple lemonade which was delicious as well! The staff was so friendly and had many great recommendations to try in the future! The atmosphere was welcoming and alive! Would definitely recommend this place to eat!

Incredible! Fantastic menu! We had the blackened catfish (weekly special), Wonton nachos and the Dayton Cheese steak. We will definitely be back.

What can I say, absolutely totally hooked on this place! The food, the people everything rocks!

I was in Dayton for business and found this hidden gem! The food was so good the first night (I had the Birria grilled cheese with fries and my friend had the shrimp tacos), that I went back the next evening before flying home! On my 2nd visit I had the wonton nachos and they were really good. Lots of flavor and the homemade wonton chips were light and crispy. I also had the banana pudding - it was perfect. I plan to try the drip burger next time I'm in town!

The burger and fries were amazing. Staff was helpful and made for a nice relaxing date.

All the food is delicious?m!! There are no bad choices, but I love the fish with the rice and beans. Also the gravy on top has the right amount of spice.

My son searched for "best food in Dayton," Culture was on the list, and it did not disappoint! We got the wonton nachos, drip burger, and jerk chicken cheesesteak for carry out. It was ready fast, tasted amazing, and we will definitely come back to try the east coast blt and trippin' on shrooms. The girl at the front desk was super nice, too. We loved it!

I was in Dayton for work and went out of my way to stop by this newer spot. I had been following Chef Dane on Instagram for quite a while and could not wait to try his creations. I arrived and was able to find parking in a paid lot right across the street. The building is absolutely charming with a large patio for warmer months. Inside there is countertop seating or tables. You order and then find a place to sit where it will be brought out to you. The music was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I had a hard time deciding what to order because everything looked so good. I fully intend to come back and work my way through the entire thing. The gentleman waiting on me recommended starting with the Meatloaf since it is seasonal. He certainly did not steer me wrong. This was the best meatloaf I have ever had. It had many complex flavors with a little spicy zing to it. The boursin mashed potatoes and garlic green beans were an awesome accompaniment. I had been hearing about some killer lemonade and the recommendations were not wrong... Gustos Blueberry was my first choice. I also got a cucumber one to take home. For dessert there was delicious banana cream pie, and some cookies and cream gourmet marshmallows. Checkout their social media for daily deals Mon-Thurs and brunch pop ups on weekends! Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food!

Went to Culture before a Dayton Dragon's game...it was amazing! Friendly and helpful service. We sat inside because it was so hot, very clean but the outdoor space looked nice too. We had a party of 4 and we all loved our food. It looked so good we forgot to take pictures! Fresh ingredients and amazing flavors, we will be back!

A great local business in the Oregon district. The staff were friendly and polite. The service was quick. The flavors are bold and authentic. Pros: I am not a big fan of mushrooms and have never ordered a mushroom dish. But I highly recommend the Trippin on Shrooms. Great flavor and doesn't taste like mushrooms. The thiccc chick with hot honey was also delicious. The sweet potato hush puppies were also good. The lemonade was excellent. Good ambience. Couple of cons: 1. The fries needs to be a bit crunchy. 2. The items are a bit pricey.($5 for a lemonade). I would highly recommend this place.

Great add to the Oregon District! Chef Dane recently opened up this restaurant and I'm glad to see him bringing his ideas to life! PARKING I lucked up and got free parking right in front. If you don't snag a spot in front, there is a paid parking lot at the edge of the Oregon by the music shop. Or you can drive around to see what's available. SERVICE Everyone there was really nice and welcoming. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to answer any questions we had. The staff checked on us to make sure we had all that we needed while we were there. FOOD The food was great! I had the drop burger and a side of fries. I was nervous the peppers would be too spicy for me but they're very similar to a banana pepper if you're a fan of those. The peppers and onions were sautéed perfectly and the sauce was so good! The fries were thick but still had a crunch on the outside and seasoned very well. To drink, I tried the locally made raspberry lemonade. I hope this place gets a lot of business because the food and service is well wor AMBIANCE It's a very casual spot and they make great use of the space they have. Not good for large groups but lots of 4 top tables and a bar table near the window.

Delicious delicious food!!! Highly recommend the Jalapeño Cream Crab Cake Pasta!!! Was a total hit and ate every bite, will be eating again

Nothing short of AMAZING! Chef Dane did an incredible job taking over this old diner. It looks great and feels so comfortable. They also have excellent music playing in the background. Their thing is food and vibes and I was definitely feeling it. My favorite part, besides the food, is the wide open kitchen. You get to watch the action. Actually, I saw Chef pull a pot of greens off the stove and I commented on it. He gave me a small sample. YUM! So much flavor. He could bottle that pot liquor! I wanted to try everything but went with the Drip burger. It's smash burger style on an awesome brioche bun. It has caramelized onions, pickled cherry peppers, and their Mack sauce. This thing was a flavor bomb! Easily the best burger I've had in Dayton. I may even include Cincinnati! It includes chips but I upgraded to fries. I'm glad I did because they were crispy and well seasoned. These guys are not afraid of flavor! I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu. They are also offering brunch every other Sunday. I'm definitely in on that!

My coworker took a group of us to Culture for dinner, and everything was fantastic, fresh and made to order. It is a smaller dining area where you order at the counter and seat yourself. I ordered the Wonton Nachos, which were to DIE for, especially the bulgogi ribeye on top. So flavorful. I put in a second order of the nachos as takeout so my husband could try them. My friends got the Smoked Brisket Mac and Cheese and the Snapper Buca Verde. Everything was excellent. This spot is a welcome addition to the Oregon District - don't miss it.

Everything about this place is great! Just genuinely one of the best places to eat in Dayton, especially for the price. I've never had anything quite like the wonton nachos. The meatloaf meal was delicious, the potatoes were insane. My husband said the bang bang shrimp tacos were great! Great birthday meal! The vibe was immaculate. The service was amazing as well!

The Dayton Chopped Cheese is Magnifico! Tell your photographer friends and grab a bite to eat Great Staff and the vibe is on point

My favorite place to carry-out from or pick-up something when I am doing DORA downtown. Smash burgers and mac and cheese are my fav!!

Does not have a working phone number. Is this place even open? The only place allowed to NOT have a phone number is Buc-ees because they are 24/7, and the Huber Heights location hasn't opened yet! It's like this place has no regards that they don't have parking, aren't easily accessible to do a "drive by" to even check to see if they're open.

Wonton nachos are so good I'd stab someone just to steal theirs. If don't go try them right now you should just give up on life.

A nice spot in the Oregon District - decor is casual but not cheap. Food is more than reasonably priced for portion size and quality. Food is made to order in an open kitchen right beside the dining area. Everything I have tried has been absolutely DELICIOUS. The wings are some of the best I have ever had. Chef Dane and his staff have always been polite and service is usually pretty fast as there is not a ton of seating inside (but there is a patio!) Would definitely recommend!

Amazing new place. Definitely something to come and have often. New flavors coming to Dayton! Great and quick service too.

was attempting to try something new and came across this restaraunt on IG . I saw a few posts and they were handling food without gloves! I made a comment and got blocked. apparently asking sensible questions is not allowed.

Amazing food & service! Mushroom sandwich was enormous. Wonton nachos & desserts were the best part of dinner.

Highly recommend for a casual sit down in the historic district ! Had the upmost best service and amazing food

First time going i was excited to taste the food but I must admit they need to remove the white girl with red hair from helping customers...I stood in line and waited and waited and she said nothing. I mentioned to my son if they don't say anything to us in a little bit we will leave...she stated out loud with an attitude it's their choice...well you know it is my choice! You lost a loyal customer! She's not good for business! She had an attitude and was very aggressive.

I really enjoyed my visit at Culture! Culture is located in the Oregon District. The staff were kind and helpful. The menu had quite a variety of dishes. I got the hibachi rice which was HUGE. I ate it for days. The flavor was good. I definitely enjoyed my husband's chicken sandwich. It was well fried and was juicy! The fries were yummy as well. They have a variety of different bottled non-alcohol beverages. The restaurant is narrow with seating on the side and at a bar. It's well decorated and you can watch the cooks making your food. Can't wait to return to try some other dishes.

Loved our first time visiting. Had amazing vegan options. The thick chicc was really good with the Lion's Mane mushrooms deep fried. The salad was great and they have a refreshing cucumber lemonade. They are super friendly and very appreciative. I already can't wait to go back.

What a great dinner tonight! My husband enjoyed the meatloaf with green beans and smashed red potatoes - portion was huge, draped in bacon pieces, came out steaming hot. But I have to say - Trippin on Shrooms was fantastic. Try the tikka masala sauce with it - so yummy! The fry on the two filets was perfect. The sandwich stacked well with a nice pickle bite in the middle. Staff were friendly, chef was in the house making sure everything came out great. Great tunes playing. Prices reasonable. All in all a great last minute decision to try this new spot. We will definitely be back!

The collared green melt sandwich + fries were da bomb - 10/10. fast, friendly service, great little diner in the Oregon District. definitely comin back y'all !

Chef Dane does not miss on any dish- but the wonton nachos and the mac and cheese are a must!

I've been wanting this try Culture for a while and finally had the time! Overall really great experience, we got the Culture Pasta and the hibachi fried rice, both were really good! Asked for extra sauce on the side for the hibachi but didn't need it cause it had plenty on it! Chef Dane made it a point to come to our table and ask how the meal was and if we needed anything!

Collard green melt, sooooo delicious! Service is great! The atmosphere is a great experience! Love Culture... RECOMMEND HANDS DOWN

That Korean egg tuck sandwich was immaculate *chefs kiss* first time trying brunch here and will definitely be back soon.

Excellent service. Food is made quickly and has great presentation. Everything is very filling. I got the Mac and cheese with fried tikka masala chicken and a raspberry lemonade. Couldn't finish my meal. Very good flavor. May be related may be unrelated but I blew up the toilet at home 30 minutes later.

Had a wonderful brunch there a few weeks ago.! Will definitely come back! Thanks for a great experience!
