In a previous incarnation in downtown Dayton, Tenn., Jacob Myers Deli was a hotspot — both for its good food and its free Wi-Fi.

In September 2010, the owners completed a move a few blocks east to a larger space overlooking Point Park at Richland Creek and renamed their enterprise Jacob Myers Restaurant on the River.

The move easily tripled the tabletops and greatly enhanced the menu. Along with the soups, sandwiches and wraps that previously brought in customers for lunch, the restaurant now boasts an expansive dinner menu, wine list, cocktails and beer.
