“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!!!“

“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.“

Also was my son’s 3rd birthday and she went above and beyond to make sure his day was amazing!!! Overall great service and food! Amazing!!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!!! Seats away from the bar and amazing service!“

“We found The Farmstand a year ago when we were visiting the area...we were intrigued by the menu! But more than that, we always want to support local eateries when we travel. We were NOT disappointed at all!!! The burgers are amazing!!! PLUS, we have dietary challenges in the family and the staff were more than willing to talk with us about ingredients and provide what we needed. When we were back in the area a couple months later, we went to The Farmstand again and again had a fantastic meal. When we decided to go back to the area this month, the entire family said we HAD to make sure we made The Farmstand one of our meal stops. Y'all...it's sooo good!“

“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.“

“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 😂“

“Sissy, Jim Thank you for great customer service Friday night! Merry Christmas 🎅“

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

“Great food but not too fancy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“always a taste treat with clever choices and healthy too.“

“thanks for feeding our #primeelite boys tonight before their first tournament tomorrow! showing love to the locals ❤️🔥“

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

“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.“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“This was a very horrible dining experience we ordered there ribeye and added there bacon jam to steak when steak came out both were missing bacon jam the waiter took off before we could tell him finally got the bacon jam on side my steak was tasteless the salad maby had 5 sprigs of cheese on it garlic vegetables almost tasteless small portions when waiter brought our bill he held it in his hand not showing us and said I will take your payment my husband said can I see bill first lol oh ya and handed it to us 85.00 the steaks were 32 00 a piece the menu in restaurant said 27.00 and on line menu said they were 26 the waiter said inflation let me get manager who said the online menu was not there’s in one breath and in next breath said said he would let them know to change it and walked off we were from Illinois visiting ark encounter it was our anniversary so I will be sure to tell everyone in Illinois if they visit Don’t eat here and I scratched out tip on receipt I always leave an 18 to 20 percent tip but not today here’s your tip you are rude and outrageously priced“

“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!“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Hubby and I visited Cincinnati for the first time (we are from Ontario Canada) and enjoyed touring the Findlay Market. The food display at the Gourmand Group booth was both captivating and attractive. They offered a wide assortment of salads and some were vegan friendly. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. The bonus was a friendly chat with one of the booth keeper. Highly recommend! (PS. Thanks for that delicious black bean salad!)“

“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!“

“Didn’t disappoint. I’m glad I stopped“

“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.“

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

“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?“
