I'm from Dayton. Meeting someone from Cincinnati halfway. I know the areas well enough, but have not dined there too often. Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill looks pretty good. All kinds of food suggestions are welcome, as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
BTW, doesn't have to be located specifically in these two areas, just as long as its 25-30ish minutes for the both of us. Coming from Miami Township/Oakley.
