At the Bullpen Diner inside Dot’s Market. Let’s have lunch. Located in the back right corner of Dayton’s favorite grocery store.

I’m torn about this place. Here’s why.
This is a corner of an old grocery store. There is approximately 40 seats around various tables and booths. The booth seats are vinyl that is cracked up. It’s a little dirty also and there are various things that need some maintenance. The table wobble and the ceiling tiles are dirty and stained. Now, our little waitress was very good but she was the only one serving about 25 tables. Needless to say, she couldn’t keep up. And when we were finished with our meals we had to wait 25 minutes to get our check. I asked the girl if they were short handed that day and she said, no, I’m the only server every day. We walked in at 1:00 and didn’t walk out till 2:10. So don’t stop there if you’re in a hurry. So, If you want good decent food at a good price, are willing to sit on worn out, wobbly furniture and have all day to wait for your food and then your check, stop in.

Never knew this place existed inside dots market but wow I’m glad I found it. The food was amazing and walking itto the establishment I felt cozy.. Now they only have 1 waitress and she was amazing. You do have a little bit of a wait but it was well worth it.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It’s a low-key place and just like a genuine old fashioned diner that you don’t see much of anymore. I Had the bull burger and fries best burger I’ve had in ages. My dad had eggs, sausage and toast. I highly recommend checking them out. They serve breakfast all day as well.

Had lunch with my daughter and enjoyed one of their fabulous burgers. Great diner I’ve been going to over 25 years. Country fried steak is also delicious. Don’t go if you’re in a hurry but everything is worth the wait. There’s only 1 server so be patient. And in this day and age $17 not including tip is AMAZING!!! If you’re lucky you’ll have Brenda or Kellie as your server but they are all pros! Highly recommend!

This was my first time going, and I will go back, but I wasn’t super impressed.
I ordered the Turkey Hotshot, with green beans and a bowl of vegetable soup, and my Father ordered the 3 piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and a side salad.
The side salad looked nice, it was more than just lettuce and dressing. It had dice tomatoes, cucumber and cheese. The dressing was pre-drizzled on a small amount, and included extra on the side.
My vegetable soup on the other hand looked good, but had zero flavour. Very bland is putting it mildly, and I had to add a lot of salt to bring out some sort of flavour. But for 2.50 a bowl, I can’t really complain.
The turkey hotshot was pretty much what I expected. Sliced deli meat on white bread with mashed potatoes and a plateful of turkey gravy. This tasted fine. Typical diner hotshot, with lots of meat, atleast. The green beans are not seasoned, but don’t taste canned.
What I sampled of the fried chicken dinner was that it was horribly dry, and not fresh. Since the diner sits inside a grocery store, Dots, which sells broasted chicken in it’s deli department, I fear when this was ordered it was just retrieved from there, and who knows how long it had been sitting under the hot lamp. I’m sure their chicken is delicious when fresh, but the plate we got was definitely old and reheated. The mashed potatoes were also oddly topped with brown gravy and not poultry gravy like my hotshot was. Just seemed like an odd kitchen call.
Anywho, the diner was pretty much what I was expecting going on. Not horrible, not great, and worth the prices paid. 2 dinners, 2 drinks, plus an extra side of soup for 20 bucks is hard to find in many dining establishments anymore. I expect that things are under-seasoned because it caters to a more older crowd who aren’t into a whole of complex flavours. I will return to try other items, especially their breakfast menu (which is served all day). Not many places serve fried mush anymore, so I look forward to trying that. And my father who was debating between the chicken and liver and onions will probably get that next time.

I decided to take my dad out to breakfast after seeing a YouTube review of the Bullpen diner. Our waitress, Heather, was very polite and always made sure my dad had a full cup of coffee. The food was very good and the prices are reasonable. I look forward to coming back and trying out their lunch or dinner menu.

What a sweet surprise! We’re in Dayton making a delivery and arrived a little early, so we were in search of breakfast. We were surprised to find that it’s inside the grocery store!
Portions were plentiful and the flavors were all spot on. Service is great and this feels like an American relic.
5 stars!
