Slyder’s Tavern

Don’t even have to think twice about this one. 5-​star all the way. Came in with a party of 12 on a busy Saturday afternoon. Kids were hungry, parents wanted a beer… It was my turn to pick the place for the post-​game meal, and I remembered drifting through this place 15 – 20 years ago when I lived in the area and liking it. Judging by the reactions of the rest of the party, I (meaning Slyder’s) f#$king killed it. Great burgers, impressively friendly service (meaning they didn’t bat an eye when a soccer team from Michigan invaded their friendly (but extremely crowded) confines.) Orders were all over the map; lots of burgers, wings, appetizer samplers, and my personal weakness: the pork tenderloin sandwich. Everybody came hungry. Everybody left happy. It’s no surprise they’ve been around since 1948. This place is as good as it gets.

Fantastic. They really do have the best burgers and wings in Belmont. A really good selection of craft beers as well. Super friendly servers and a really cool amount of local sports memorabilia on the walls.

The wings were excellent. Would say it deserves the title of «Best wings in Belmont» but they are the only wings I have ever had in Belmont.

They have the best bacon cheeseburgers of anywhere. Their BBQ wings and onion rings are great too. I suggest not going on a busy Friday or Saturday night or you will have to wait for a table and there is nowhere to really wait. They can be very slow but to me it is worth it.

Had the burgers, fries & jalepeno poppers. Everything was excellent. I’ll be making this a regular spot.

Delicious food, they also have great daily specials & a decent selection of draught beer, not just domestics…

I have only gotten burgers here– they do come in different sizes which is nice. The burgers have always been good. Have also heard great reviews from my group about the walleye. The only downfall for me is that burgers are served with chips and you have to pay to upgrade to fries.

This is a great, old neighborhood bar. It has that cozy feeling inside that patrons like myself really have an appreciation for. Rustic and real, rather than glitzy and hip. So really, don’t go (Dank B.) if you aren’t looking for this type of establishment. They have good food and like everyone else has said, the burger is awesome.

Great burgers and great service by tori … Aka perky. I will definitely return for more gut r dun business meetings.

Saturday wing specials and burgers are the best. I also like the daily specials, nice local tavern.

Not kidding, these are some of the best hot wings I’ve ever had. The service is good and the food is always consistent.

Great burgers and good fries. Super busy on the weekends. My only complaint is that a few times we had to eat somewhere else because they were so busy there was no place to sit. Fairly decent selection of beers on tap and service is pretty quick.

One of the best burgers in Dayton! What I especially like is that you can get it in smaller sizes and it’s still got generous portions. I also tried the ham and cheese sandwich and it was pretty good — but seriously, you just need to get the burger. And onion rings, oh yum, the onion rings!
It’s a small place so you either need to go at an off time or plan to hover for a seat. Not much for ambiance here, so don’t expect anything fancy. It’s definitely a neighborhood bar.

This place has the best burgers in town. For beer drinkers they have a good variety of tap beers. The atmosphere is quite comfortable and friendly.

Little place in Belmont if you blink you will miss it. They have the best burgers I have ever tasted. Great atmosphere, and great service! Who knew they have been here since 1948?!?

Conclusion: Everything here has been a positive experience for me, so I’d really give it a 4.5÷5.0 (however overall food taste is a tad bit less than a 4.5). Come here for slightly above average unhealthy food that will fill you up for really cheap. Hard to beat the cost v. utility during HH and on their special nights. I like it for what it is, a greasy spoon. Don’t expect a 5 star meal or mahogany wood with a copper bar top here. Expect friendly staff, good service, hot food, extremely reasonable prices, good cold beer, and not to be screwed by the management. Do it right and you’ll walk out completely full with a 2 – 3 beers and a good tip for around $ 16 give or take. This pretty much sums up this place, if you want specifics, read on.
Disclosure: Although I have only been here on Thursdays for the Giuseppe burger special, I have visited about 5 – 6 times this year. I would like to try their wings (Saturday night special), and their Fish (Friday). Hopefully I can update my review sometime.
****TIPS*****:
(1) SLYDER GIUSEPPE BURGER ON THURSDAY: This is very important. As soon as the burger arrives, flip it over. This keeps the bottom of the bun from getting too soggy. Otherwise, it gets a little moist, and this makes it much better.
(2) If you come early enough for happy hour, ask about the mini domestic pitchers. Its about 2 maybe 2.5 beers and is so cheap.
Service: It has been slam packed every time I have been there. Of all the times I have been there, it couldn’t have been better. Food seems to come out pretty fast (30 minutes or so), and they are quick to get you your first drink and any refills. They do, however, seem to cater to the regulars (which I’m not). But why shouldn’t they?
Staff: I talked to who I believe is the owner on several occasions. He’s usually working there on busy evenings. Great guy that will seemingly treat you fair and make it right if you are genuine. He definitely cares about his business. Other staff members are cheerful and friendly. Haven’t met a person I don’t like there. Last time I visited, the hostess or some other staff member was joking around with us about something that would not be P.C. (politically correct) at most places. She said a joke to us that some might take offense to, but she read us right. My friend and I thought it was pretty funny, and so did other customers. We were having fun with the staff joking around and vice versa. You don’t get that kind of experience at Red Robin if you know what I’m saying.
Food: At first, I didn’t think the Slyder burger was that great. Maybe a 3.5÷5. I think because I didn’t like that it only had a roasted pepper on it. But now I order lettuce, tomato, and onion on the side. It grew on me and I’d say it’s at most a B+ (4 possibly a 4.25 out of 5 for a burger depending on the day). I’m pretty harsh on my burger reviews though. The french fries are standard, but have always been served piping hot. The onion rings are also standard (hard to beat), but served very hot.
Beers: Have a handful of very good beers on tap that regularly change (Ranger IPA, Fat Head, I believe Breckenridge Brewery, Goose Island, etc.). You’ll definitely find something you like.

From a very young age I have always loved a good burger and I am always in search of the perfect burger and Slyder’s just may have the best burger in town.
So to start with, this looks like your typical sports tavern in an older neighborhood. The interior was older, but was very clean. It was simply an older tavern but had a good amount of lunch time traffic.
Our server greeted us and sat us right away. Immediately took our drink orders and as others from our party joined, they were there to take their orders as well. The server was friendly, got our orders correct, and checked on us several times without being too attentive.
Which brings us to the reason I was there… the burgers. I was told by two friends that they were the best in Dayton. After having one they are definitely in the top tier. The beef was flavorful, maybe just a little overlooked for my liking and thus 4 stars instead of 5. But I didn’t ask for medium either so next time I will correct that. The toppings were fresh and tasty. The bun was ok, toasted which is good, but ok.
I will definitely will go back for the burger again and will probably try the wings some time too…

I’ve ate there twice now. The first time I got a 7 oz. bacon cheeseburger and some chili cheese fries. The chili on the fries was a little runny and the dice on the onions were a bit big for the dish, but it tasted fine. The bacon cheeseburger was incredible. A bit messy from all the fixings but worth it.
The second time would have been this past Friday after a bad Tank’s incident but when we stopped in, around 8, it was an hour wait to get a table.
The second time was actually this Saturday. We still had a 10 – 20 minute wait for a table so we ate at the bar. I ordered the 10 oz bacon cheeseburger and fries and it was just as incredible as the first one I had.
This place is a no-​frills place and it is hopping every time I go there but I was well taken care of.
The price is good. The food is above the price.

Slyder’s is known to have the best burgers in Dayton, cooked in an old iron skillet.
The mushroom burger is the best with one of their many ice cold beers.
I grew up going to this place, my Grandmother visited Slyder’s since they opened back in 1940’s.
During my recent visit we received excellent service. Waitress took order very quickly, two fellow staff members checked on us throughout our visit & burger was delivered to our table in 10 minutes a record. A must for any visit to Dayton!

Saturday night, ready for a fight or a frolic… since Miss Mona and I were staying overnight and we were dining at Slyders, I got both!
We UnilocalED for Daytons best burger. what we got was Slyders…
The next day on quesy tummies, we jetted off to Mexico; so Hey! No worries!
