“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!“

“We stopped here after a concert at Riverbend, and it did not disappoint. Really good pizza (we ordered two but I only got a pic of the one) and they were both absolute fire. Our server Ann was awesome, she took good care of us and was fun to talk to. A really great bartender. The other customers around and some off work staff made it such a fun hang. We’ll definitely make this place our after-concerts hang out whenever we come back to town 💜“

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. The service and food is always on point. I get the garden hash for breakfast and either the scallops or the mushroom pasta for dinner. I love the ambiance in there as well. They have a nice outdoor area and they have areas you can rent out for parties. Highly recommend.“

Glad to see chili pizza on the menu and interesting takes on classics like chili and spaghetti coneys. They also had fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a variety of sandwiches. The building itself was very large inside and very clean. I was surprised how nice it was. Awesome restaurant, definitely check it out and pay your respects to a chili legend.“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

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

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

Amy, Manager at Cracker Barrel in Cold Springs, Ky impressed us with her friendly demeanor and willingness to take the time to ask our table if the food is to our liking. Outstanding food and staff (Server/Manager) interaction. ( 5 Star) rating re: the excellence in dining atmosphere and quality of food.“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“Everything about Main St. Café is superlative. I think they have one of the best burgers in the city. Certainly in the top five of all the burger joints that I have been to, including zips and Dellwood. But on top of that, the last time I was there, I had the homemade
roasted red pepper soup. It was as good as the best soup in any high end restaurant. Service is excellent. As far as atmosphere, it is closer to zips than to Dellwood in terms of atmosphere.“

“I recently used Kitchen 1883 to provide food options for a party that I had and it was wildly successful. The Caulisprouts were just about everyone’s favorite, but I got so many compliments on the pulled pork w/Tabasco slaw and the Greek wraps (it was a great vegetarian option)too! The team that worked with me to deliver and set up the food was incredible. So friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond!“

“I love the food, the staff, the atmosphere and the rewards. I just wish that the rewards could include the salads or the price of the coney could be put towards whatever you want to put it to. I'm trying to lose weight and I love the salads and I go 2 or 3 times a week to get them. I end up either giving away or losing out on my free coney.“

“We had a party of 9 for my husband's birthday. They gave us a private room and the service was fantastic! Everyone said their food was delicious (Bistecca, Birch Burger, Eggplant Curry) I had the roasted chicken. The flavor was fantastic, but the chicken itself was dry.“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“My family goes back 5 generations to this day, with Camp Washington Chili Parlor. I’m a 3rd generation, my children 4th and grandchildren are 5th generations… best Chili in the world to all of us. Every dish you make has always tasted great! Please put. Camp Washington on the map, I’ve even brought gallons of your chili back to Michigan. My husband’s family loves it, and many, many friends do also? If it weren’t for my parents living on Colerain Ave. we would’ve never known, the great taste of your chili and all the ways you use it in meals?“

“Our lunch was great at the Greyhound Tavern. We had a group of 6 and we had a round table, so we could all talk and listen to each other nicely. The food was excellent. I had the cod sandwich and several others had chicken salad. Everything tasted great. Service was excellent also. Looking forward to another group lunch at the Greyhound Tavern in the near future.“

“Had breakfast and everything was great. My wife and I ordered different meals and shared. Eggs over easy, home fries, bacon, goetta, and pancakes. All hot, fresh, and delicious. $20 for 2 folks, including tip, is hard to find. My only complaint is 4 huge pancakes is way too much for most people, especially when they taste great. We brought 2 of them home. Young man working the grill was terrific. He was working only 3 feet from the counter and talked to the guests while cooking.“
