“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.“

“This place is charming inside and out for dining. Wednesday gives a special perk of 1/2 price bottles of wine. There are so many items I love, it's a hard choice. Perhaps the most surprising would be the chicken thighs. And at our last visit, we decided to be decadent and ordered the Tousey House specialty coffee with Frangelico, Amaretto, Grand Marnier and Kahlua. This end of dining experience alone is worth the visit! Truly a gem for Northern Kentucky. And if you venture over from Ohio, put it in maps. It's not as far as you think! And the best part is that you feel like you are on vacation out of town for the evening.“

“The chicken is the best in Kentucky. The green beans were country style and awesome. Then the mashed potatoes with bacon and pepper gravy was awesome also. I definitely recommend this place. Just had the chocolate pecan pie with bourbon sauce with butter pecan ice cream, that was the best I ever had.“

“I love the food, the service, and the atmosphere...“

“I love it, but I don't know the fruits in English very well, and it's complicated and makes me very nervous. But there are always people who help you. Thank you! And how delicious! If I could eat this all the time, believe me, I would. Excellent food!“

“This is a antique shop, not sure about the food. I just want to express my mother passed away 2 years ago. People had stolen valuables from her home that she worked so hard for, cherished. My mother never bothered a soul, very private, great all around American citizen. Due to my poor judgement trying to help friends in need they were stealing my mother's things and taking them to this antique shop to sell them cost irrelevant they should have never been stolen and or sold. I, 1st time walked in this shop with a friend and spotted immediately my late mothers dishes etc. I panicked, want real sure who, how, why they were there. I immediately notified the purchasing rep (owner) Tiffany told her my story. Without question, care, concern she immediately started boxing, bagging ALL of my mother's things. I offered to pay her. She absolutely refused any amount of money. No questions etc she expressed her sympathy, she expressed her unaware. She stated to me description without name as she also stated she would not ever sell to this couple again. That was a very kind gesture as she did not have to take any type of loss. She is a business woman her honesty will forever hold a special place in my heart as she will be rewarded 10 fold for her good deeds. It's hard these days to trust people. Tiffany you rock sister. I will shout it from the roof tops and suggest everyone I know to shop at your cute little antique, botique shop love to all. Xoxo“

“The food was delicious. Had my husband hollering, lol scared the ppl at first then the other customers joined in. Service was amazing“

“Out of towners we came for the two piece fried chicken lunch dark meat and it was very tasty with light breading and two sides and a biscuit that was major crumbly ( my only complaint). Otherwise the service was good, atmosphere good and food good. I would go back! The desserts were pricey at $10, but I could just be out of touch with reality. Would have liked to see what they looked like before buying. Forgot to take photos.“

“I have been her numerous Times! Always great!! Today … not so much! The “ manager” was rude and down right mean!!! I have gotten the mini croissants for parties many times. They are ALWAYS PRE CUT! I ordered 36. She would not cut them and they stuffed them in a bag too small and many were smashed flat….. not the look I wanted for the shower I am giving!!! How disappointing!!!“

“Wonderful food and service!! We sat at the bar and Bryan waited on us and was more than accomodating!!!“

“Every time I get food here it's amazing. I've never been disappointed. The lemon pepper on the fries is sooo good. I tried to replicate at home and just couldn't do it. Not even close. I'm kinda stuck on the philly cheese steak sandwich. It's so good and always fresh and hot. They make the food as it's ordered. No cold fries that have been sitting under a heat lamp. Everything's made fresh. The owner is super friendly and kind. I love everything I've tried. Prices are pretty good too.“

“Amazing service and home cooked meals. One of our favorite morning stops.“

“We had a small family reunion lunch for 8. The atmosphere and decor of this restaurant were excellent. The bourbon slush was very good as was the Woodford old fashioned. We started off with fried green tomatoes. Four large slices of tomatoes. Very tasty but could have been a little thicker slices. I ordered the Hot Brown. It was a little different than I expected but it was delicious. I got the combo of country ham and turkey. Beautiful presentation as shown in my picture. Large portion. It could have easily been shared. One of us had pan fried (not deep fried) and it didn’t disappoint. The chicken salad looked great. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Because of the ample portions we shared two deserts. The blackberry cobbler with ice cream and peanut butter cheese cake. Not a complaint in the house. The blueberries actually held their shape and disappear in the cobbler. I wish we lived closer so we could visit more.“

“We love this location! They are always fresh and accurate on their orders. Lee's is about the only place left where you can get good Chicken Livers and Gizzards. The gravy is good for dipping, not just for mashed potatoes. We often get their coleslaw for family picnics and such.“

“Heard about this place on Tiktok. Really loved the vibes! Hoping to drop by if I'm ever in the area.“

“Wow soooo good! I had the seafood platter! It was sooo good!!! Loved all of it. That asparagus was to die for!!!! Yummy!!! 5*****“

“My husband and I love Cracker Barrel. The food is tasty. The coffee is good...better than most! And we like the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The hostess Tammy has been there forever and we feel like she is a friend. The food is also reasonably priced. The store has some beautiful items. I just bought some of the cutest baby items!“
