Dayton Coffee Shop

A great hometown restaurant. The wait staff were attentive, and the food was delicious. Will definitely eat here again when in the area.

This is our go to place anytime we travel South. We absolutely love the food, prices, and atmosphere! The only thing we’ve found that we did not like was the fried chicken strips. They were the size of Banquets chicken tenders and overcooked. Other than that, we’ve tried most everything and it simply is the best home cooking place around!! Most patrons are very nice and it’s nothing to strike up a conversation within three or more tables and with people you’ve never even met! Makes for a wonderful meal! Highly recommend the Roast Beef!!

Everything was excellent food, waitress , and price. We enjoy going there. Ps tip the dishwasher ?.

The chicken fried steak and tomato casserole are outstanding. The servers are friendly, making it an all-around fantastic dining experience!

My husband and I visited Dayton Coffee Shop this morning for the first time. We were just out driving around, and started looking for a place for lunch we had never been. Anything called a coffee shop, I would normally shy away from; but I'm glad I looked at their menu first. We gave it a try, and were blown away. It's small town diner at it's best. The meat and three selections were great. Don't get the tomato casserole you'll thank me. But you can get double of everything else, and will not be disappointed. We went on a friday, so I got the baked ham. I ate it so fast, my husband didn't even get to try it. (Whoops! He ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy, and was raving over how good it was. We also got corn nuggets, pinto beans, and mashed potatoes, plus a tossed salad. The bread selection was perfect today. We tried the cornbread, rolls, and hushpuppies (available on Fridays since we had never been there. All were delicious. We noticed that every table around us (mostly older, retired folks ordered desserts, so we had to as well. We ordered the chocolate pie and the chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. The pie tasted EXACTLY like I wanted it to. The classic pudding texture with meringue on top was straight out of my childhood. The cake was pretty good, too! I believe all the desserts were homemade. The employees were great. At one point, they all stopped what they were doing to help an elderly couple out of their car and into the restaurant , then back out when the time came. You can tell they pride themselves on community there. The menus and walls are covered with dedications to service men and women. If those walls could talk! I highly recommend visiting if you've never been. We will make the drive from Soddy Daisy again soon.
