Devour new takes on internally-inspired cuisine with our Loaded Potato Pizza and Ingot Crab Crakes, or our signature Foundry Reuben and Charred Meatballs. Hearty, midwestern favorites from Chef's David Belknap and Jason Findley anchor our menu like our Crispy Pork Belly and 24-Hour Chicken. And with a combination of smoked whiskeys, classic cocktails, and local beers, you’ll always have the perfect pairing of spirits to enhance the heat of your meal. Made for Dayton locals, or those local for the day, we invite you to join us on our open-air rooftop patio for dinner, drinks and celebrating your most special occasions with a private event.

    Our waiter Johnathon was phenomenal! We had a party of 12, anything over 6 is usually the kiss of death, and our waiter forgot nothing! Our drinks came out quickly! The apps, more drinks and entree’s all came out hot, prepared very well and tasty. I ordered the short rib bolognese, which was delicious!! We would absolutely host events at The Foundry in the future!

    Great spot for a quick dinner before going to see Christmas lights at Light Up Middletown. The chicken Marsala is always a comfort food favorite with portions big enough for leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner. Our server Will took great care of us. Very enjoyable and we’ll be back.

    It was a good meal overall for a dinner with a friend. We enjoyed a salad (my guest) and lobster bisque (me), followed by entrees ravioli and my chicken Marsala. Both were quite enjoyable - cooked just right and served hot! Terrific job! The only downside was the lack of water brought to our table. Had to ask for more instead of the server noticing a need and refilling before being asked.
