Restaurant to roll back prices to 1988
The original Roosters restaurant at 3501 N. Main St. in Dayton will celebrate its 20th year in business by rolling back prices on its most popular menu items to 1988 prices for one day only, on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
Roosters has evolved into a 20-store chain of casual-dining restaurants that includes two other Dayton-area locations: 103 N. Springboro Pike in Miamisburg and 257 W. Central Ave. in Springboro. It will open its 21st Roosters in October in New Albany near Columbus.
The special menu prices — to be offered only at the 3501 N. Main Street location — will include 10 Wings/$3.25, Hamburgers/$1.95, Cheeseburgers/$2.15, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches/$2.25, and Curly Fries/95 cents. The prices will be in effect from open (11 a.m.) to close (10:30 p.m.) on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
To accommodate the anticipated spike in business, the Roosters Road Show, a restaurant on wheels, will be on hand serving the specials. Stand-up tables will be set up outside, and there will be a DJ and other entertainment between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to Roosters officials.

TweetRibs/BBQ restaurant opens in Springboro
“That BBQ Place” — a locally owned, independent restaurant — opened Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 282 W. Central Ave. in Springboro, replacing the former Ron’s Pizza and Ribs.
The rib restaurant is owned by Bob and Jill Weiland, who formerly owned the Ron’s franchise at that location since 2000, Bob Weiland said.
Weiland noted the price of pizza-dough flour and cheese rose dramatically in recent years, as competition from other pizza restaurants increased, making the switch to a ribs restaurant more appealing.
“I’ve been making barbecue for family and friends for eight years, and I’m very proud of my pulled pork and ribs,” Weiland said.
The menu also features seafood jambalaya, smoked ham and “Mom’s Specialty Meat Loaf.” Sandwiches cost $5.95 or less, and entree prices range from $6.95 to $18.95 for a full slab of ribs.
That BBQ Place’s hours are Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday noon to 7 p.m. For more information, call the restaurant at (937) 748-9400.
