These reviews are old… but we still get new ones about them every single year.😊

Since we started making them, our fried green tomatoes have been the dish you drive across town for.

“Equally amazing fried green tomato/goat cheese/bacon sandwich” - 2014
“Perfection” - 2016
“Exceptional” - 2017
“Nirvana” - 2018
“Superb” - 2019

The reviews don’t lie… and neither does the season. 🍅🍏

We’ll serve them every year, but now that fall is here, we’re giving the fried green tomatoes a break. They’re leaving soon, but we should have them through the week!

Field trip! 🐦
A few of us from Meadowlark visited Patchwork Gardens yesterday to see where some of our ingredients grow.

It’s beautiful, chemical free, and all things fall in Ohio right now.
From delicata squash and celeriac to kale, apples, and radishes, this is where flavor starts.

Find Patchwork grown produce at Patchwork Produce Market
📍 Corner of W 3rd St & N Lutheran Church Road Dayton, OH 45417
Plus in season fruits, veggies and hand crafted goods from regional growers.

Thank you Patchwork!

Okay Meadowlark fam, real talk.
You know what happens when things don’t sell well... they go away. 😭
And the Cheddar Apple Galette should NOT go away!🍎
Sweet apples tucked into a flaky, buttery crust made with sharp cheddar. Then we top it with a cheddar crumble for that perfect salty-sweet bite.
Sweet + savory + flaky = what’s not to love?!
If you love it as much as we do, come grab it this week and help us keep it on the menu.❤️

Meadowlark turns 22 years today!

To our customers: Thank you to the oldies but goodies who’ve been with us for years, and to those who have just found us, we appreciate you all so much.

To our staff: Thank you to every team member through the years, to those here now and to those who have moved on. You all helped shape us and made Meadowlark what it is today.

To Liz: Thank you for being our cheerleader and co-owner. Your energy and heart keep us going.

To Dave: Thank you for being our fearless leader, driving Meadowlark forward every day.

To Wiley: Thank you for creating Meadowlark and for the dream that started it all.

Oh, and thanks to the little birdy, Robin for being with us from the beginning 22 years.

We couldn’t have done any of this without you. 🫵

Cheers to the next chapter!

It’s Drew’s Birthday! 🎂

Our sauté master. Carbonara king. One with the noodle.
Drew’s sautéing wrists are tired but his humor isn’t. Dorky jokes, cute drawings, and kitchen food renames are his specialty. 😂
He’s been with us for almost... wink wink... 22 years (Meadowlark anniversary).

Happy birthday, Drew! We adore you!
