“Took my kids to see my mom Crystal at work finally and they were super excited about seeing Mimi at Wild Eggs! Food and service was awesome thanks! We are looking forward to our next visit!!“

“Fantastic food! Best bfast spot in the city 5 stars.“

“It's lovely, if you get seats near the far window facing the street, there's a small area for children to play. Coffee is delicious and well balanced. The food was fresh and nicely seasoned. I ordered a build your own bagel, with cream cheese avocado and eggs. My daughter ordered from the kids' menu and had pancakes. She said they were delicious.
Note: we got lucky with parking, there's only a few spots by the door. If it's full it can be a bit tight to get out of, especially during heavy traffic.“

“My wife and I frequent Maplewood on the weekends for brunch. There are many options in downtown/OTR/northern Kentucky for breakfast on the weekends, but Maplewood is our favorite. The menu has a nice variety of American breakfast options, as well as healthier alternatives. We love the Guajillo Bowl and Mediterranean Bowl, but the Maplewood Hash is also delicious if you are in the mood for something a little heavier. The GM, Erik, often recognizes us and welcomes us back. Erik and his staff always do a great job with service, and mitigating the crowded weekend mornings. Bring back the Chicken Tiga!!! Note: It's first come, first serve seating and you are supposed to wait in line and order before being seated. However entitled guests sometimes circumvent the line and save tables for the rest of their party waiting at the back of the line, whom have yet to order. This often throws off the flow of available tables, because the people whom waited in line and just ordered, now do not have a table. It can get busy here on weekends, but if you go, don't be one of these people, please wait in line like everyone else. The line moves quickly and the staff turns over the tables quickly as well. The couple of times this has happened to us, the staff promptly sat us at the bar and gave us a discount on our breakfast.“

“Morning Meditation, carrot cake pancake, & Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict! Perfect Sunday brunch!“

“First Watch without a doubt is never a disappointment when it comes to food, but at the Crestview hills, Ky, 41071 location, the server went above and beyond to make sure my meal was perfect. Had the shrimp & grits that were excellent. Also because I was feeling very hungry had the million dollar potatoes, 2 eggs over medium, a plate of bacon, and a lavender lemonade for a drink. Troy if you are reading this, you are an amazing server and definitely have the gift of being a people person. Thank you for taking care of me after my long shift at work.“

“There was no wait and food was amazing!“

“I’m not from the area and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. That’s when I met the most amazing server, Allison! She was so kind and helpful, making me feel welcome right away. She even gave me the option to sit up front with her so she could keep me company — such a thoughtful gesture that truly made my visit special. Thank you, Allison, for going above and beyond!“

“Today, 11.02.2021, a friend and l were in search of good breakfast food. Before dropping her off, we stopped at the Waffle House on Delhi Pike. The employees at this establishment were some of the warmest and friendliest group of people l have met since COVID. Fast service, our waiter Dante explained how we were able to mix and match the breakfast we had chosen. With the turn of our head, our meals were before us. The grits were freshly made, the toast was to a perfection with butter melted, everything about the meals were on point. The staff keep the restaurant clean. On their idle time they were cleaning the grill and washing down the floor, no one was standing around on their phones. I give the Waffle House ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“The food, atmosphere, service, and ambience at Mt Lookout were top notch! The HOE‘s team members, Julie, Mitch, Bri, and Murph, were extremely hospitable and friendly. We were seated and served in less than 30 minutes. I recommend the Fried green tomato BELT sandwich with sweet tots (with the maple aoli), or the Chorizo Burger. The grill chefs cooked them to perfection. Then pair these tasty sandwiches with a Murphy special, a pomegranate - mango martini or a cold beer! It’s a match made in heaven. We‘re definitely going back soon.“

“Service was super fast, and the food was amazing!“

“Love Waffle House!!! I am a worker and I love my job!!“

“Our service Chad does a great job taking care of us. We are loyal customers here. Me and who I dined with today both ordered million dollar bacon and mine came out burnt and the manager still served it to me. Thanks to Chad he fixed everything for me. There was a little commotion in the back but my meal was delicious due to Chad.He also compensated our meal. He always does a good job here.“

“Went to get brunch today, the cashier , Shay , was extremely polite, helpful, and suggestive in meal pairings. In today's culture of bad customer service, Shay was / is the example of what great, not good,GREAT customer service is supposed to be like. when you visit Maple Street Biscuit Company on HoustonRd,...i hope you get the chance to be greeted/ served by Shay !!“

“TOB has an excellent beer selection, including several Belgian imports and their own Belgian brews.
The food is amazing, their Brussel sprouts are excellent, fries with chipotle mayo are excellent and the goetta hash is excellent.
Banana Nutella waffles for dessert are outstanding.
Service, generally sit at the bar, is always prompt.
If you're visiting town this should be on your list to try.“

“Great food. The best waffles.“

“I was just here yesterday with my two kids, you have the friendliest staff out there! Food was great, service was amazing! Thank you!“

“Only issue I have with Waffle House is it's a little too expensive. The food is good but we got biscuits and gravy, steak n hash browns, & a waffle with cho chips. Oh of course 2 pops & a coffee and it was $57 to feed 3 ppl. I mean that's a bit ridiculous & 1 of the 3 ppl is only 7 yrs old. Can't really blame the restaurant tho, the cost of everything is gone up & I'm sure they're feeling the burn too & passing it down to customers.“
