Burger Restaurants near Crestview Hills

“This is one of what used to be two restaurants, nearly identical known as The Pub. The other was in Rookwood and closed recently after 25 years. We frequented that every week. This one is very similar in the inside in general, although the specific layout is quite different. One specific difference is the amount of screens; the Rookwood Pub seemed designed to allow you to watch sporting events, so if they had the World Cup on for example, you could watch the game. Most of the seats in the pub in Crestview do not have a view of a screen as far as I can see and the screens are smaller, so if you're not there to view a sporting event, it's less intrusive but it's not where I would go to watch one so it can be a plus some of the time and a minus others. The food menu is basically the same, although the items come across as somewhat different if you were used to the other Pub, probably a difference in chefs. If it's like the other Pub, sometimes they'll have a very good Chef for a while and then they'll get picked up at a greater salary by another restaurant and then there's a new one for a while. The wait staff tends to be young and often comes and goes. The person who waited on us was nice but it didn't feel as personable as some places, especially not like the other pub. As this is in a mall area, the parking is quite easy so that's a plus in its favor.
We will be back, although it's a bit of a trek for us to go down to Kentucky. I think for us the problem was it's like visiting with a brother or sister of a good friend you've lost and it's eerily close to the one you remember, but it isn't the one you remember and so our visit was tinged with a bit of sadness.“

“Best experience ever“

“What a terrific lunch at Hebron Grill. From quickly being welcomed, to the genuine kindness of the waitress and great selection (our meals were delicious), I wish this restaurant was closer to our home - we would go often! If you haven't, try Hebron Grill.“

“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!!“

“LOVE the burger fries and tots.“

“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!"“

“If you like a restaurant that has a kind owner, a friendly staff, and Yummy food, then Bard's is the spot for you! My favorite thing is their seasonal Lemonade drinks! Fresh made with real fruit. The blackberry is my go to!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing food and friendly service!! Love the Pearl Jam and Mac miller!“

“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!“

“I typically eat here every Thursday morning.
I get the corned beef hash, octoberfeat or the lumberjack.
Alway delicious.
Atmosphere is always lively & servers are incredibly efficient.
Hands down my favorite local diner.“

“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“

“This place has a unique venue for a bar and grill. Along with the usual burgers and wings, they serve sushi. They don't have a very large whiskey selection, chairs and barstools were a bit hard, and they use too much rice on their nigiri. Servers and bartenders were very attentive and the music was at the right volume to hear while not having to yell over it.“

“Friendly server.Prompt service.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Good hamburgers & fries , ice cold pop“

“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.“

“Gordo's is the kind of timeless place that makes visitors feel comfortable without making a big deal about it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very good at their jobs; they seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and it shows.

The food is absolutely delicious and served in daunting portions. The burgers are the jaw-unhinging size (and shape) of baseballs, cooked beautifully and doctored up in amazing ways. Six out of seven of us chose different styles, and none of us were disappointed; I had Boursin and poblano, and I still regret that I couldn't finish that last bite. The lone holdout, my mother, ordered a chef's salad and raved about it, saying that it was the first she'd ever had that she honestly couldn't finish. My dad and I will testify that she did her best.

The only dessert listed at Gordo's is the Dessert of the Day. I asked our waitress whether it actually existed, or if they (rightly) assumed that no one would ever have room to order it. She said that they did (it was tiramisu that day), but most people who could still think about food ordered it to go. My teenager made a reflexive plea, but they were too full to put in real effort.

If we didn't live two states away, Gordo's would already be our family's regular place, and my fridge would already be stocked with the Dessert of the Day. As it is, we'll definitely be back whenever we visit Cincinnati.“

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

“Was looking forward to the beer braised tofu sandwich but the other tofu hoagie was good too. Maybe next time Greatbupbeat place to dine.“

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

“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!“

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

“great food, we were pleasantly surprised“

“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.“

“I am never disappointed with the food or beverages or service.“

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

“friendly people. Great food and ice cream.“

“delicious food and great service thanks a lot guys“

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

“Staff is pretty friendly for the most part. Environment was clean and there was plenty of seating. Restrooms were clean. Items were stocked. Orders are freshly made so there is a bit of a wait time but it's definitely worth it. It's a bit hot inside as the kitchen area is open and doesnt have great ventilation“

“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“

“Best place ever to go eat“

“Great atmosphere and energy. Our server, Carlos, was helpful and accommodating. Enjoyed our food choices, nice recommendations from server. Looking forward to returning and trying outside .“

“Service was good and good food“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“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“

“Met up with my siblings at the Indian Mound Cafe. The food is simple bar food but is great tasting. I had the Norwood salad. Everything a person would want on a salad without lettuce and vegetables. Their burgers, ruebens, and onion rings are great too!“

“Very good cod dinner with onion rings, steamed broccoli, bean soup, and Salad bar was very delicious. Highly Recommend.“

“Food was good. The service was excellent, but the alcohol was definitely diluted with water.“

“amazing food! every one of the bartenders are awesome! can't say enough about em, and even the owner is so kind! I go for karaoke nights but after talking with him they have so many other cool things going on definitely recommend“

“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.“

“I am totally addicted to Cattleman’s , from steaks to boom boom shrimp, I have never had anything from there that I didn’t love- and to top off the fantastic food, they have fantastic people! Love me some steak, Kim, Kayla & Abbie Joe!! #theBest“
