50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Thomas

“If you want to have a unique experience I have just the restaurant for you. Travelers Table just opened in Fort Thomas and its a culinary trip around the world. Angie the bartender is welcoming and helpful in choosing dishes. From starters to desserts there is food from various parts of the world. The plates are tapas style and .can't to be shared.
We started out with Muhammara from Syria. Its a delicious dip served with warm pita.
Next we got the Country Pate from France. It was a favorite of both of us.
Our most unusual dish, Adjarian Khachapuri from Greece was a bread boat stuffed with cheese and an egg yolk on top which is smeared across the bread when its served. The cheeses were tasty and the dish is gilling.
Lastly, we had the Gambas Al Ajillo from Spain. It was 4 shrimp in a delicious sauce accompanied by baguette bread.
They also have a drink menu, which we tried several, that, are from various parts of the world.
The chef owner is the genius behind the menu.
We can't wait to go back.“

“The pizza is good and so are the fries. The service was great! The dishes and silverware and plates, counters and our table were all clean. The place looks like it needs a little extra scrubbing though in the bathroom we were in was scary.“

“Good service and great food!!“

“LOVE the burger fries and tots.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.

“We had a wonderful time. The service and food were great, and when you consider that this is all done in the tight confines of a train car on the move, it was 5 stars! The conductor had interesting trivia and facts about things along the route. A fun time.“

“We love supporting our local businesses and love that nearly everything on the menu here is locally sourced. There are many positives for this restaurant, including warm & inviting service. The complimentary bubbly is also such a sweet touch! The ambience is unique and cozy so, overall, service is 10/10. I wish I felt differently about this next part, but I can’t say that the food is worth the price. It’s quite expensive for what it is. Nothing we received was bad by any means—it was good! But we had one entree (one of the cheaper options), two sides, two drinks, and spent nearly $200 after tip. In my opinion, charging $15 for a side of lightly seasoned roasted potatoes is too much, especially when the entrees easily run $60-80 by themselves. Plus, the average cocktail was $16. I would feel differently if everything tasted exquisite, but it all tasted good. Nothing particularly special, I hate to say. The spices in everything were conservative, and it seems that the majority of the flavor relies on the raw ingredients themselves. I applaud their choice of truly quality ingredients, but for the price we paid, I would expect a lot more flavor to be woven in via additional culinary choices.“

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

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Wanted to take a lil moment to give a shoutout to the Silver Ladle employees <3 the food is really good but what keeps me coming back on my lunch break is the staff. They are all so so kind, especially the two lovely ladies who normally work register/food hand-off. They remember my name and my go-to orders, and always take the time to ask me about my day with genuine interest, even if they are busy, and while still maintaining efficiency. 10/10 service experience every time !!“

“Was in the area for lax tournament and stopped at the little Cafe. Such a great vibe! Clean, the bathroom was super clean and spacious. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. We had the grilled chicken sandwich which was phenomenal (he is still talking about it today). I had chili and half club. Very good chili, not spicy. The club was stacked with meat. If we are down that way again would for sure visit again.“

“Great food! My only suggestion is to have a website so we can see the every day menu.“

“I went in for lunch on August 15th and was very impressed by the service. Quinn was on top of everything and even though I just ordered a salad and fries, he treated me as if I had ordered the most expensive entree and bottle of wine. He kept refilling my drinks and made my lunch very enjoyable. I used to wait tables and can recognize great service when I receive it. Thank you to Quinn and J Alexander's.“

“Chris was our server in the bar area today and he was great! Attentive and let us chat while keeping our glasses full. Food was fantastic! Ordered the white wine chicken and the caramelized grilled sea scallops. Delicious and recommend both. Dishes are seasonal so the menu changes regularly. Beautiful atmosphere and very pretty bar area. Small patio area to sit outside or inside with the windows open.“

“We had a great brunch on Sunday on our way out of town . My son has a lot of allergies and they were very accommodating and generally just pleasant people working there !! Will come back anytime I’m in the city“

“Awesome first experience at North Star. Budda Bowl was the best “bowl” I ever had and the margarita pizza we shared was also hot, crispy, and delicious. Cocktails were good, and delivered fairly quickly. Received a free cookie for a birthday too, which also was warm and huge. The live jazz added to the atmosphere of the restaurant as well. 4 individual rest rooms in the back, along with a sink outside of them if you just need to wash your hands.

Cant wait to return to Northstar!“

“My favorite place to go to inside of Findlay Market!!! The salmon, pasta Florentine, and green goddess slaw are a MUST! The Brussels sprouts and the wild caught shrimp are also incredibly delicious. This is incredibly affordable in my opinion, because they will give you 3 for $10.99… and it’s like a home cooked gourmet meal!“
