Burger Restaurants near Crestview Hills

“I visited The Pub recently and was met with great food and truly incredible service! However, the restaurant itself is like miserably hot. I asked to sit under a vent because I already tend to be hot, but this didn’t help. I would love to come back but next time I might as well eat outside. :/“

“Best experience ever“

“This place was Bomb 💣 I never give 5 stars ⭐️ however, they earned em. Everything about my experience was top notch. The only bad thing is that I actually considered eating at the Lucky 🍀 Dragon 🐉 or the Pizza 🍕 Hut a couple doors away. Telling myself, No1 out pizzas 🍕 Da Hut 🛖
I’m so very thankful 🥹 that I decided to visit this location. I’m a Mos Def visit anytime I’m N the city.

So please 🙏🏾 check em out if you’re in the neighborhood and Holla at a Playa. 👌🏾“

“The smash burgers and fries are yummy! I just wish that they still served their delicious pies for dessert. It's a real shame to not serve something so mothwatering good as their honey vinegar pie.“

“If I could give them even more stars, I would!! The owner, Mike himself, took care of us while we were there and he was amazing! So kind and kept us smiling during our entire meal! He was so sweet with my 18 month old daughter, even giving her some suckers and a gift certificate for next time. Not only was the service top notch, but the food was to die for! We got specialty burgers and my daughter got chicken tenders, all of which were made fresh and perfectly cooked/seasoned! I can’t recommend this place enough. Already can’t wait to visit again!!“

“I knew it would be a cool place when the door knobs were gas pumps. Everything was detailed down to the napkin rings. It lived up to its name for sure. The food was amazing! Our waitress Cozy, I can't say enough about her. She had the best personality, super sweet and when we had decided what we wanted she definitely told us about our choices, like how they are prepared, what they come with and if she had tried them herself. I will definitely be back.“

“What one of our team members says: "Milkman in OTR is the go-to spot for the best smash burgers in Cincinnati, and it's so much more than a burger joint! They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"“

“Fantastic food and service. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩“

“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.“

“Nothing but a good vibes every time I come! the waiters and waitresses are super friendly, amazing burgers and milkshakes and cheap for the amount of food you get! and they're always playing the best music!“

“Service and food were great. Try the chili, it's fantastic Lots of burger combinations. The hamburger patty between 2 grill cheese sandwiches was excellent, next time I'm going to try it with Swiss cheese. Our first time there, but definitely not our last“

“Friendly, neighborly atmosphere. Service was excellent! Best burger you will have“

“Had dinner at Drake's Hollywood last night and loved the vibe—beautiful ambiance and really great food. Service had a couple hiccups (one drink was forgotten and it was a little hard to flag someone down at times), but nothing that completely took away from the night. Overall, a lovely experience and I'd happily come back.“

“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

“Amazing food and timely service. The atmosphere is priceless.“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“Great food and service staff was awesome!! 🍔“

“Good hamburgers & fries , ice cold pop“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

“don't usually write reviews, but this one? This one's from the heart.

Tucked into the corner of a hot summer day was a moment of pure magic — and it came in the form of a double scoop and a man whose kindness could melt even the coldest sundae.

The ice cream? Divine. Creamy as a cloud, rich with flavor, and clearly made with love. Whether it was the velvety swirl of salted caramel, the bold bite of espresso chip, or the sweet, nostalgic hug of birthday cake crunch — each spoonful felt like a tiny celebration in my mouth. You can taste the difference when someone actually cares, and trust me, this place? Cares big time.

But here's what really makes this place my number one go-to...

The man behind the counter.

He wasn’t just friendly — he was soulfully kind. You know the type: someone who greets you like an old friend, listens when you talk, remembers your favorite flavor even if it’s been weeks. The kind of human who makes the world feel just a little softer, a little slower, and a lot sweeter.

In a world that rushes by, he made me feel seen. Not just as a customer — but as a person. His smile was genuine, his service effortless, and his presence? A comfort I didn’t realize I needed that day.

People like him are rare — and flavors like these? Even rarer.

So if you're ever looking for a place where ice cream hits your soul and the man scooping it out feels like family… don’t walk. Run. This isn’t just a shop. It’s a sanctuary.

And to the kind-hearted legend behind the counter:
You’ll always be my number one go-to. 🍦❤️“

“When I went into this restaurant they gave me lollipops to choose from and they handed my mom something like in a box. It was a mystery and then when we opened it it was cheesesteak and it was Oreo cheesecake. So that was yummy. And I had the hot dog and it was fine. I also had fries which were pretty good. They had this cool display of license plates from other states. and their drinks were really good. I had Pepsi which was nice and the tables were clean so that was good. That's why I recommend you eat here.“

“Friendly server.Prompt service.“

“We love this place! Good, home-cooked food for a great price. Food is always served fresh and hot in generous portions. This is such a hidden gem in Cincinnati!“

“The employees there were genuinely kind, positive and energetic. It was a nice little pick-me-up that I didn't even know I needed. I usually order delivery but that was such a wonderful experience picking up my food, I'll be doing that each time now. Thank you so much.“

“Food is great prices are decent. Though what really caught my eye was the older male manager with glasses. He had a positive attitude, he was so kind, everything about him was upbeat. I especially loved how he talked to all the young men working. When he asked them to do something he was polite about it and said please. He was training another young boy to clean the dining room. I love that he was teaching him and not having some other employee teach him. This place is rocking it for a fast food joint“

“My husband and I both agreed it was the best sandwich we’ve ever had! Super fresh and the bread was amazing! We will definitely be back“

“Great atmosphere for the family plus the food is great too. You have to try their cheese curds. Plus the Burlington Burger is to die for. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.“

“Had the Jean Robert and it was pretty good. I would have preferred a little less Bleu and a little more goat cheese. The Bleu was a little too forward on the taste, but still real good. The fried jalapeños were amazing. It's four whole stuffed-with-cheese-and-cream-cheese jalapeños.
The mac and cheese was fantastic with a little added salt and pepper.
Don't remember what my sister got but it was also amazing.
One of my favorite spots.“

“great food, we were pleasantly surprised“

“So good! We got the Steph's sampler, added toast and a biscuit. $30 for two with coffee. We love the echo! Stephanie and the staff are great. Everything is so clean and well run especially for how busy it is. The line was long but went fast.“

“1st time eating there. grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. my granddaughter loved the tablet they have on all the tables to play games while we waited. however we didn't wait long. service was incredibly quick“

“We were seated at the bar and had great sandwiches and drinks last night (11/5/24) . Mark was the bartender who waited on us. His outstanding customer service made us feel like we had a “fine dining” experience!“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“I visit other Frisch's and have never had a bad experience, but this Frisch's at 20 Kyle's Lane, Covington, KY location is 5-Stars Tops!!! Haley who works the Drive-thru Window Service and her Teammate Co-workers do an Outstanding Job. The Cook-Staff Team does a Remarkable Job on everything they cook/grill up, never has there ever been any food item that was not worthy of 5-Stars. A few friends who visit this Frisch's location have commented how glad they are that this Restaurant is in their neighborhood, they always have great experiences when visiting. Keep Up the Great 5-Stars Service!!!“

“Our Mom's choice for her 88th Birthday was Ron's Roost. 🥳 Char was hands down the best waitress I've had this year anywhere - personable, professional, & polite! 😊 I only wish I had room for pie.“

“delicious food and great service thanks a lot guys“

“Excellent breakfast … also had breakfast at Maplewood and Sleepy Bee this week while in town, snd Dunlap was far superior in taste as well as super friendly service“

“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.“

“The staff at this Steak 'n Shake are wonderful! We had a belated Christmas get together (place requested by my granddaughters). We had a large group and large order. It took awhile, but it was noon so you would expect it. They brought out free fries for the girls while we waited. Everyone was so nice and our food was hot and fresh!“

“I ordered take out on 2/11/25 & in the process of ordering two dinners I had an issue with my credit card that had me worried, but after speaking with the Mgr (Billy ) I nolonger was in that mindset, Billy fixed the problem and my dinners was stomach happy, will certainly return again. Great customer service and the dinners was a match 👌thank you Billy & staff ! see u soon Darlene Miller.“

“😍Great Gals and always hoping 😍“

“Food was fabulous! Great beer! Will definitely be back. Kudos to Chef JB 👏👏“

“This morning I went inside the restaurant and MS PAM made my day! She was the only employee there and made my favorite (loaded salmon and grits!!!) and it was sooooo perfect 👌🏾 I couldn’t help but to do a happy dance when I tasted my food!!!! She made sure I got it exactly to my liking and she was so welcoming and down to earth I felt like I was in there talking to one of my older aunts! I will definitely be back! 👉🏾 and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My salmon and grits with onion and peppers was OFF THE CHAIN!“

“This is the third time I went to the price hill location and the doors were locked. I go to this location and they are always open ready to help me. That’s a win for them and me.“

“Best place ever to go eat“

“We love Spear Ridge. Great food, fair prices, excellent service. Everything we have tried there has been delicious. Their onion rings and French fries are the best in the area. Smash burgers, chicken salad, chicken are all amazing. Great atmosphere. We highly recommend.“

“I had the “ In the Beginning “ with a side of fruit. It was well cook and presented.“

“friendly people. Great food and ice cream.“

“El Barril is a really awesome Mexican joint we found in Mount Adam's in Cincinnati. It had both indoor and outdoor seating but on this day we decided on the inside. The restaurant looks really super fun with lots of tremendous decor with even the chairs being unique (and comfortable too.) They had a lot of unique takes on Mexican dishes (lots of unique burgers on the menu for one) as well as some classic favourites. We started with an appetizer of Buffalo Chicken Dip which was a straightforward take on it. It had lot's of chicken, a very flavourful but not too spicy Buffalo sauce, and some blue cheese mixed in. It was served with chips. This was as good of take as I've had on a Buffalo Dip that I've had from anyplace. For my main course I tried the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos which was 3 hard tacos served with grilled shrimp topped with spicy Bang Bang sauce as well as cilantro. This was very unique but very delicious all the same. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and that sauce I would describe as zesty with a slight punch but not too much. Really liked them a lot. My wife enjoyed her Margarita as well as her food (I believe it was a pork dish but I forgot to take a picture). This was a super fantastic lunch and I for one can't wait to come back.“
