“No complaints other then prices that need to include a fair enough valuable product for versing cost tax and tips this place is great so why don't they be fair value for what they charge you know and offer more come products like Tropicana fruit punch and gluten free things or ways the meat can come with no juice for people that want that room for condiments or other sensitivity reasons and if you got pork why not pulled pork steakhouse style the longhorns way ?“

If we are down that way again would for sure visit again.“

“I love the food, the staff, the atmosphere and the rewards. I just wish that the rewards could include the salads or the price of the coney could be put towards whatever you want to put it to. I'm trying to lose weight and I love the salads and I go 2 or 3 times a week to get them. I end up either giving away or losing out on my free coney.“

“My favorite place to go to inside of Findlay Market!!! The salmon, pasta Florentine, and green goddess slaw are a MUST! The Brussels sprouts and the wild caught shrimp are also incredibly delicious. This is incredibly affordable in my opinion, because they will give you 3 for $10.99… and it’s like a home cooked gourmet meal!“

“If you want to have a unique experience I have just the restaurant for you. Travelers Table just opened in Fort Thomas and its a culinary trip around the world. Angie the bartender is welcoming and helpful in choosing dishes. From starters to desserts there is food from various parts of the world. The plates are tapas style and .can't to be shared.
We started out with Muhammara from Syria. Its a delicious dip served with warm pita.
Next we got the Country Pate from France. It was a favorite of both of us.
Our most unusual dish, Adjarian Khachapuri from Greece was a bread boat stuffed with cheese and an egg yolk on top which is smeared across the bread when its served. The cheeses were tasty and the dish is gilling.
Lastly, we had the Gambas Al Ajillo from Spain. It was 4 shrimp in a delicious sauce accompanied by baguette bread.
They also have a drink menu, which we tried several, that, are from various parts of the world.
The chef owner is the genius behind the menu.
We can't wait to go back.“

“I went to Herb and Thelma’s for the first time. It did not disappoint. Very tasty, juicy burgers. Delicious sauerkraut. Manhattan to rival any other Manhattan from an upscale bar. Everyone is friendly. Such a fun atmosphere. Be prepared to be surprised by the food and friendly atmosphere. Cash only.“

“Let me start with saying if you’re looking for good food, good vibes and super service THIS is the place. Also, super conveniently located right off the exit and right next to Trader Joe’s - can we say DOUBLE WIN We swung in just for some brews and bites and hit the jackpot! The band was in full swing - highly recommend checking out Second Take if you’re in the Cinci region - we lucked out and caught the show right as we sat down. Super chill environment too, not overcrowded and our waitress Stevie was PHENOMENAL 👌 Quick to grab our drinks, didn’t forget me when I asked for refills, grabbed our apps out the gate and hooked us on the napkins because ya girl is a messy eater 😆 she even answered my 100 questions about what local brews they offer (which, if this is your forte, def check out their selection - I was impressed) Anywho, 10/10 service, food, atmosphere and generally just a cool spot to check out that’s 15 min from anywhere as soon as you hit the highway in the Queen City 🤙“

“We stopped in the day after the tornados hit and many were without power, including other restaurants. Spare Time Grill had been slammed that morning because of this predicament. They couldn’t have been nicer. The cook was beyond friendly while he kept up with the many orders that are cooked by scratch. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is always cool in there, very nostalgic. Thank you for a delicious meal and good vibes, Spare Time Grill!“

“The best of all chili parlors in Cincinnati. Meatier chili and better taste. Fast, friendly service. Always a treat!“
