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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“This is a very underrated spot. Ppl probably pull in and pull out because it looks like an abandoned building with an auto shop behind it. But don't judge a book by its cover! I've had 3 different plates from here, and all were 10/10. The staff are very nice. The servers were extremely attentive. The hibiscus drink was amazing, too. I work down the street and I've passed this place everyday for 4 years and never knew it was there until I googled places near me to eat and it popped up and was shocked it was so close. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend eating here. Try the onion based dish with marinated chicken. The spices are next level.“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff, service, and atmosphere is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the chicken pasta, seasonal flat bread, and hamburger with fries. The cooks (Nick, Stephen, Jack, Jimmy, and Glen) are always top notch. With great people like JR, Jamie, Madi, and Jasmine adding amazing conversation and the best drinks you've ever had!

Parking: Parking located at the side and front of the building.

Kid-friendliness: This is definitely a great place to bring the whole family and have a meal! There's something for everyone!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's an easy entrance for wheelchairs and seating accommodations so everyone can dine together comfortably.“

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

“1st visit and didn't know if the reviews were true but they are. Definitely will need a big appetite if you visit. I ordered the Beast burger, and I wasn't able to finish it. Took the rest home and devoured it, and wanted more. Absolutely the best burger I've ever had! The lemon berry cake with marscapone is a must! Can't wait to go back! This place is a real jewel!“

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

“The food was great great service and a very good waitress nice attmessphere would eat there again when back in the area.“

“Bought 2 chicken and vegetable dishes ($16+). Veggies were well over cooked, mushy, nasty, and was mircowaved. No fresh veggies on this dish. The broccoli tasted like green beans. Pitiful dishes. Felt very much taken advantage of. "Hey let's serve veggies from kroger's frozen section and jack up the price. We win and the customer...ah we will show we just don't care about quality." Spent a lot of money, and the food was worse than bar food. Let the server know our feedback. She had no comment. No one stopped by the table afterwards. Wasn't looking to get our meal covered, but someone needed to hear about it. We were pretty upset at the experience. We remember why we haven't been there in 4 yrs. Will never come back.“

“Always enjoy this place. Food is always fresh and so good.“

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

And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“

“One of the best local non-chain places around! Amazing breakfast, burgers, chili, and probably everything else but that’s all I’ve had for now 😂“

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.“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“Great food but not too fancy.“

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

“I love the atmosphere, it’s elegant but with the door opening and closing that made it chili and that’s why I gave the 4 stars. The wait staff was excellent. Swift, patient, knowledgeable, all stepped in and helped, truly satisfied with the service! The food was exquisite!!! I had the baked chicken and baked potato and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection!!!! I only gave 4 stars because for me I feel the menu is limited with choices I like. The person I was with raved about the trout, couscous, and Brussels sprouts! This was a special night, special event, and j Alexander felt just as special!!!“

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

“Came for lunch with a friend yesterday afternoon and I am so sad that we've spent 7 years in NKY without trying this gem! Friendly and attentive service, and the BBQ potato skins I ordered were the best potato skins I've ever had in my whole life. There were SO many things on the menu that looked tasty. Can't wait to bring my husband for date night!“

“Best wings on the West Side. Change that. Best wings in all of Cincinnati. Love all the Wild Mike’s locations. Have not been to this one in years. The new expansion at this one is great. The new bar is a great addition“

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

“Great lunch option in downtown Cincinnati. Lively, fast paced quick casual spot that focuses on salads, sandwiches and soups. Always packed for weekday lunch though tables turn over quickly. They have a great pick two option with soup/sandwich or soup/salad.“

“I'd say this is the first time i've been there and the food there they got is amazing. the conies there are great, their fries are great, and cheese and chili looks great. only thing i didn't like was the employee told me to wait for a few minutes for no reason, just for one more refill, like what? but other than that amazing food and restaurant overall.“
