Restaurants near Fort Thomas

“The ice cream and experience were fantastic! The perfect place to stop for a sweet treat to celebrate, or just to brighten your day. The service was wonderful, the owners are so kind, radiating joy and passion. Everything I’ve had here is amazing. The cookie dough is nostalgic, the ice cream is creamy and perfectly sweet. Don’t even get me started on the shakes! They’re some of the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a fan of coffee even but the Java whip knocked my socks off! The atmosphere is the cherry on top, eclectic, cute, and inviting. If I could, I’d be there everyday!”

“Great family atmosphere, fun food options from The Gruff, and super friendly service. Recommend for family fun night out that everyone can enjoy!

“1/25/2025 First time here. Wonderful experience. The food was incredible. We had 2 special items for the week..the chicken tortilla soup and Alambre tacos. Food was fresh and extremely flavorful. The taco tortilla was lightly fried and was crispy, not gummy like most. We had the Elote(corn off the cob) topped with a lime Crema maybe that was the best I have ever had. Margarita was delicious and a large glass was only $9.00. The place looks small from the outside but dining room is open and pretty large. This will be on our rotation list of places to eat at least every two weeks! Mark and Tiffany”

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters and everything we got was delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and for the quality of the food I think it’s priced very well. I will definitely be back and have already suggested it to many friends and family. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Good service and great food!!”

“I love love love this hometown bar! The Arnzen family & staff treat everyone like family. It’s literally like Cheers. They know your face and remember what’s going on in your life each time ya come in. I’m a Loveland native myself so I love the small town vibes.”

“I online order at this location as they accept coupon codes on the app and the Newport location does not. Sandwiches have alway been made correct and ready by the time the app says they will ”

“Very good quaint place Pizza was really good”

“Update: They no longer serve biscuits (gravy), pancakes nor French toast. Total bummer !!

Their breakfast is made with the best tasting ingredients and I'm not just saying this because I have a hangover. Even though I was dreaming of sausage gravy and thick juicy bacon I was not expecting much from a pizza joint. Let me tell you! They sure made my taste buds dreams come true! Over the Top!!”

“General Taos chicken combination eggroll and brown rice.”

“Met Rachel at Ft. Thomas KY Starbucks 2/28 6:40pm and she was so sweet and courteous and gave the best suggestions! 5 stars for Rachel”

“Out of this world service. You literally will be like "Woah, we are on a different planet!" And then you will be a little sad because you are just on silly old Earth. But then you realize that you can get more Snappy Tomato pizza. But then the planet thing happens again. So roller-coastery but overall great!”

“Had a great lunch at a reasonable price and incredible staff! Lydia did a great job!! Will def be back!”

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!”

“Great owner and staff. High quality pastries. Excellent prices. They work hard. Everything tastes amazing. Highly recommend!”

“The food was so good and everyone was so friendly! it was recommended by a work client and we were in town for a concert so we had to try it! the owner came to the table and talked with us as well. We will visit again next time we are in town!”

“The food is amazing, they have a large wine and spirt offering. The staff are always courteous, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Casual dining with an upscale feel.”

“As the other reviews below, we had a great experience for lunch. The owner is super kind and attentive. The chicken shawarma, hummus and kibbeh were authentic and tasty. Support small businesses like this!”

“Everything is perfect! Love all of his Cincinnati restaurants! Excellent dining and best steak in the Midwest!”

“Delicious you won't be disappointed.”

“Shareable menu items that are tasty and unique…smelt fries and duck fat fried potatoes. Delicious. Great service and oh yeah - Longfellow charm all the way.”

“A little tricky to spot, it is the entrance under the pink neon symbols. The restaurant serves tapas to share so I would recommend bringing a friend, or friends, and ordering multiple items. Every dish I've had there has been absolutely delicious! My favorites are the charred broccoli with cheese sauce, and the whipped honey ricotta with grilled bread. They also have lots of great vegetarian options!”

“Absolutely delicious pizza and garlic rolls! We ate there for the first time today and loved it.”

“Mouthwatering and delicious. Drove 20 minutes just to try this place. We will definitely be back. They only have two small tables outside so plan for take out! Best pizza I’ve had in Cincinnati.”

“The best meal we’ve had. Staff is amazing. The food is SO good!”

“My Goodness! The flavors are amazing!! The oxtails are tender and flavorful. The chicken is completely marinated and moist never dry. The steamed fish with peppers and onions is great with just the right amount of heat. If you want to go to Jamaican just order and be transported in you mind! JUST DELICIOUS!!! The only reason no 5 stars is there is always room for improvement. And I can't wait until theres a more upscale dining experience of Yummi Express!!”

“This place is by far the best bakery I've been to. The cookies are out of this world!! I've never gotten something that wasn't up to snuff.

Parking: Smaller lot.”

“Amazing people making incredible sweet goodness!!! Literally the best.”
