It’s fine. Food is overrated…rules are like an HOA…shopping is overpriced..but at least at the end of the day you can say you hung out at a cool capitalist spot.

There were three Great comedians tonight. The headliner, Josh Johnson was hilarious. I would definitely pay to see him again. I got to meet him before and after the show. Very nice and down to earth man. The wait staff were awesome and funny. A couple of the wait staff tried to photo bomb me.😂😂😂 There was a large crowd that seemed to enjoy the show too.

It's an okay place to visit. I remember back in the day. This mall rocked, but now it's like another mall. Trying to survive the internet era.

This is an outdoor shopping mall with some restaurants and a movie theater. It has changed throughout the years and right now I think it's on the down end of things. There are a decent amount of good stores (American Eagle, Soma, Victoria Secret, Sephora, Kendra Scott, Bath & Body Works, Books & Co.) and some okay restaurants (Panera, Chipotle, Cheesecake Factory, The Pub, Coronado Taco), but there is a lot of empty restaurants as well as random stores. The two main nicest restaurants are now gone so you are only left with one higher end steak house. They definitely need to figure out how to revitalize the area. Parking is ample.

I am not a fan of the Greene. I don't like the lack of handicap parking where I need it to be and I worry about pedestrians way too much for my liking. It took me 5 trips over 3 weeks, to finally end up parking where I wasn't supposed to, in order to drop of my ring to Kay's.

Love shopping at the Greene during the holidays. Its always decorated so nicely, and is a beautiful place to meet up to go shopping with my friends or catchup over a meal. The summer is nice too. Goat Yoga in the square and other family friendly events.

The day we visited was not a great day for being outside...cold and windy. But it is what it is. very clean, just have to watch out crossing the roads...drivers don't care if you across the crosswalk!!! They probably should install some speed calming devices

It's a blessing to live so close to this place. We miss the CREPE 🥞 RESTAURANT and it's a shame that GYMBOREE Went out of business. I don't understand how that happened! They were the best children's store ever! Babies and little girls shouldn't be dressing like women! And honestly women should probably be more conservative too. Showing off all your assets to anyone daring enough to look at you isn't the best choice. GYMBOREE was already going under by the time I was able to shop there for my son. I know Children's Place bought them but we still lost our store and online shopping isn't always fun or convenient. The crepe guy moved to Japan 🗾 and closed his business. I hope he comes back soon! There were a couple other favorites that didn't make it but that's just the failing economy and rising inflation that made it impossible for them to make money. But I wish them all the best!

It is a great spot for shopping, dining, and leisurely walks. With its variety of stores and restaurants, there's something for everyone. The pleasant weather lately makes it even better for enjoying the outdoor atmosphere and exploring the area. A perfect place to spend a relaxing day

Seemed like it was kept up pretty nice when I drove through there. Everything looked pretty clean. I drove through there the early part of the day. I guess that's where you go if you don't have a job cuz it was crowded

Probably the best selection of stores you’ll find in the Dayton area. Bookstore, clothing stores, a few restaurants, and a couple of novelty type stores that rotate every year or so, it seems. It’s a great place to hang out in the summer and it’s also dog-friendly if you want to take your furry friend for a walk around the area.

I got a great dress here for my son's graduation. I was going to wait and order it online because I had a coupon for 30% off online. The manager honored the online sale price, so I was able to buy the dress that day for the same day. Great selections, prices, and helpful staff.

It's so Bright and Cheerfully decorated! Great stores and restaurants. I wish, tho, that cars weren't allowed in the area. Vehicle congestion.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. They even came and fixed our seats when we told them they weren't working. Normally we wouldn't mind but they were reclined back making it rather strange for everyone getting seated and for others trying to reach their own seats.

Love this mall especially on a beautiful day. Lots of stores and food choices with good variety. The reason it gets a 3 star review is because when you walk by the trash, the smell is overwhelming. Especially by Old Navy. Been gone from there for a couple of hours and can still smell it. Also, something was leaking and coming out where you have to walk. Would get 5 stars if that was handled.
