Exploring an ABANDONED Restaurant | Ohio Steakhouse with 50 Year Legacy 

Thank you for reminding me of that!!! I've forgotten all of the companies who have left Dayton!!

Wow. This must be wild to see as a former employee.

Why did it close down

@@jessicaboyd1048 it was in a bad neighborhood, and the building was in terrible shape. It eventually had a security guard with a post in the middle of the parking lot.

Thanks 🙏🏻

I totally agree. Most people who remember these places appreciate the memories they bring back but for a few they are memories they don’t want to bring back. I try to believe that the positive memories outweigh the negative.

@@OnceOccupied I absolutely loved how this video starts. I love the picture of the business thriving and it fades away into what it is today. It’s a reminder to how fragile and precious things in life are. I know some places are better off gone...but I’m forever the optimist. I too always think of the good things that went down in places. The Salem mall is a great example of that. I really REALLY miss that mall. I love the old 60s style pillars on the outside. Even as a kid I really enjoyed the beauty of that place. I know some bad stuff happened there. But it will always be a beautiful peace of history gone to me.

Still in good condition

The building is not in great shape. The Main St side is deteriorating and the rear, a small alley like street named Bissett Ct, after the founder, Joe Bissett (actually the main entrance) is very overgrown.

Northmont's library, in the new addition to the original building, had desk-carols shaped like that. Northmont High School is maybe ten miles from Grub Steak.

And still working over 80 yr later? Clearly not... Unless they changed all of the gear and kept the chamber itself.

Case would be old probably has had the refrigeration replaced several times

The Grub Steak existed before Joe Bissett bought it. Nothing is known about the previous owner.

That is exactly why we make these videos! ☺️

Even when they moved.

It is sad to explore places like this because do you think about all the people that spend a big portion of their lives there.

Too much crime in the neighborhood, and their core customer base of business people who worked downtown eventually moved away.

If Biden becomes president, ALL businesses will be closed for good!

If Trump wouldn't have ignored the issue at hand, there would never been a shutdown. This pandemic is on Trumps watch, IDIOT!

@@aginggracefully1391 I'm not an IDIOT. All the idiots and morons voted for Biden..... which you will soon see.

There is no pandemic and the media is proving that now

That makes sense!

Sure you're not thinking of Dominic's ? 😂

@@HallStevenson was dominic's on north main?

@@elvisneedsboatsbennett2455 It was near UD, MVH, and Denny's. They were very famous for their super strong garlic-based dressing. Maybe Grub Steak had it too, don't know... ?

@@HallStevenson I think you're right about the dressing coming from dominic's But those God awful ribs at grubsteak were my ex fil's favorite. He was excited when there was a new grubsteak opened in Xenia. Unless that was a buckhorn tavern. It's been 12 years since I lived in ohio

@@elvisneedsboatsbennett2455 Oh yeah, I remember Dominic's and their garlic intensive salad dressing! If Dominic's was on Main, it was South Main - they were a little South of downtown. The Buckhorn is/was on the edge of Butler Township near Clayton - at the end of Heathcliff? I grew up just West of there! My family would go there back in the '80s and we loved it! I've also heard stories from the 20 years older kids in my neighborhood, about how their dads would go to the Buckhorn on the way home from work, and get liquored up!

For sure!

Yes. It was high tech for the time.

35 yes ago

Always good to bring a friend or just watch my videos 😜

Its a shame it was left to rot what didn't transfer to new location

As I recall, the family fought over everything related to it

The tour guide mentioned that the booths were covered in MOLD.

You're right. Joe Bissett's son Clay managed it. He wasn't very successful. After months of ignoring health inspectors, eventually they were shut down.

It’s in a very bad area so that could be.

Made me laugh out loud.

@@OnceOccupied lol. Plain ol' water heater's are the way to go. What part of Dayton was this in? I remember the name, but I never ate there. (I grew up in Miamisburg). Do remember curing munchies at a White Tower (double butter-burgers?) somewhere downtown, like 3rd. street maybe? Friends thought a couple of us were nuts for going there to eat late night. Pretty often we'd feast out late at a steak or BBQ place near UD. Maybe on Brown St.? Can't remember the name for the life of me, but with 8 or 10 of us, all "well tuned up" and eating like a bunch of starvin' Marvin's, they put up with us I guess! They had a second restaurant, too. I want to say it was up the hill off of Main St. All of it 40 years ago, some friends are gone, but seems like last week in a way. Edit: Saw your vid from Hara Arena. Sad! Saw many a concert there. Also, if you're looking for places to check out, there was a really old abandoned factory on the Little Miami River just behind Kings Island. It was a Peters Cartridge munitions plant. ( It blew up a few times!) I know they were making powder and ammo for WWI, so it's old! You could see it good on Google Street View. The road is about 3 feet from the walls of the place. I guess it's still there. I think it was Columbia Records that bought part of it and made 78rpm records there back in the 40's/50's too.

Wtf how u think the water was heated. Wow duuuurrr

@@ravrachael69 Care to re-think your comment and get back to me, Ms. Einstein? Because this will be way too easy. lol

@@KSparks80 OMG, so funy.

Heard it too. Sounded like a man's voice.

@@mickeyleebluebird1746 When I first heard I was like what the heck was that and had to listen to it again a few times to make sure I really heard it.

Yeah there was somebody else with me but sometimes people will hear things that I don’t hear when I make videos by myself which is a little nerve-racking 😳

So untrue

Annemarie Nemeth it’s a joke. Tables were in a swastika arrangement.
