The name 571 Grill and Drafthouse is fairly new to the area, but the restaurant has been around for many years. 

In 2000, Tim Juday purchased what was called Tom’s Deli and Carry-Out. Fifteen years later, the name was changed to 571 Grill and Drafthouse. 

Along with this change came remodeling, re-branding, the introduction of craft drafts and expanded seating.

Now, 571 Grill carries 17 drafts and two types of draft sodas. 

“We have a lot of local beers, not just Dayton, but Ohio. We try to stay with that as much as we can but there are also really good breweries across the country. Because of our volume, we get a lot of good beers,” said Juday.

571 Grill and Drafthouse has accomplished many forms of recognition, both locally and nationally. 

“The Haystack burger is our flagship burger. It was featured in Gordon Food Service’s National Magazine recently. Of all the people they supply, we made that national publication and our burger was the feature on there,” said Juday. 

Dayton.com named 571 Grill’s Haystack burger one of 10 most extraordinary burgers in Dayton. 

“We employ a lot of foodies and we like to experiment. We try and create a lot of things that tantalize the taste buds so it’s a complete experience with all the different flavors that you taste. Anything that can be a little unique,” said Juday. 

Shift Leader Mandy Shoopman graduated from Wright State University in 2018 and has worked at 571 Grill for almost four years. She is currently taking MBA courses and plans on graduating in the spring. 

“I absolutely love our restaurant’s warm and welcoming atmosphere. I sometimes even go up to the grill to work on homework or study for exams if they are not too busy,” said Shoopman.

Shoopman believes that 571 Grill is a great atmosphere for students in the area. It’s somewhere students can go to unwind, meet new people and enjoy hospitality from their team.

“What I like most about 571 is our ability to make people feel at home when they eat, drink, study or do a little bit of all those things,” said Shoopman. “We do our best work in trying to cater to our customers’ needs, and it shows through our large amount of restaurant ‘regulars’ who continue to come back for our highly-craved menu items and excellent service.”

571 Grill is located at 12389 Milton Carlisle Rd., New Carlisle, OH.
