“The manger and staff were very friendly and excellent service. I accompanied my friend who invited me to have dinner with her to honor the anniversary of her and her husband’s would be 53 years, who had passed two months ago. The manager sat down with us for a few moments giving his condolences and kind words of comfort. Our dinners and desserts were delicious. The menu was customized with “Happy Anniversary” at the top and then rolled in a scroll and tied with a ribbon for her to take home. This was a very memorable evening.”

“Amazing!!! Great food and great service”

“Butch's was great! We went there for the 1st time for a few beers and to watch some football. We were sitting at a bar and a man came and introduced himself- Butch. He was very friendly and funny and talked to us for 3 hours. It's a bar filled w locals - very friendly people - Butch introduced us to all of them. It felt like we were at Cheers and was a very fun scene. Carla (bartender) was super attentive and the drinks were inexpensive. And Butch provides a spread on game days. - we had wings from Webb's (delicious!), meatballs and queso - all on the house! It was a great experience and we will def go back! Thanks Butch!J&J”

“I was in town visiting friends and we got take out from this spot. We placed a big order for 7 people and it was right on time. It was.... incredible. I love Indian food, and eat a lot of it, though I live on the west coast and this was some of the tastiest I have ever had. Go here now.”

“Seated right away on a Saturday night! Food out very fast! Portobello mushroom ravioli was amazing! Sarah great server!”

“And love the live band! And that everyone is so friendly…”

“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!”

“I had kadai lamb here for the 1st time, recommended by The Boss himself😃! The food literally tastes like its home made! It is a popular place and that should tell you that the food is delicious. Service is the best! I come here and it feels like i'm dining with family. It's my friday p.m. dinner treat. Try it out, you'll keep coming.”

“Stopped on the way to bobby mackeys and glad we did. Good food,alot of options,nice ppl and clean!!”

“Love 16 Lots and What a great place to eat, drink and watch football!!”

“This place is SPECTACULAR!! It's always clean and the crew working there are so kind and patient with newcomers. The menu is fantastic and you can customize anything to your liking!! It's HIGHLY recommended from this fat Foodie for sure!!!”

“We went on Valentine’s Day and were extremely grateful to get in without reservations. My boyfriend and I LOVE this place. The staff work so hard and are very accommodating and attentive, even when they are busy. Their food is the best in the area and we have tried a lot of Asian cuisine in the region. Sake Bomb is #1. I’m so happy to have them so close to home.

Great portions for a good price. Flavorful, fast, and fun place to be!”

“Great breakfast and a friendly staff”

“I got a decaf stroopwaffle latte (it might be seasonal) and it was so so tasty and just so aesthetically pleasing, and in general it just lifted my mood to be there. People are studying, quietly talking with friends, or reading. All the workers were nice and happy to give recommendations- and its a big mug you get, filled to the rim, for in my opinion, a very reasonable price. Mine was $5”

“This is the best one. I miss the coffee.”

“Friendly neighborhood b&g, great burgers and Nancy McMichael is the best bartender in the world.”

“This is an amazing concert venue. The church setting adds a mystical atmosphere.”

“The wife and I stayed in Cincinnati for an evening and ordered takeout from here.

We both ordered gyro salads and they were fantastic. Extremely good value (you get a lot of food for your money), and they probably have the best tzatziki sauce I've ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned, and they basically let you choose anything and everything you want with your meal.

We didn't order fries with our salads, and I'm glad we didn't. My wife couldn't even finish her salad, it was so much.

Definitely would order food from there again.

Dietary restrictions: I try to maintain a keto diet, so being able to pick and choose everything that goes on my salad is a big plus.”

“Great bar for local live music every night (especially the blues), including open mic Tuesdays. Almost all shows are free (generous tips much appreciated).

There's a rich history and great story about the bar and building it's in. Lots of cool photos of musicians plus Marilyn Monroe and other classic era celebrities).

The bar was full of friendly music lovers and bartender Kyle was awesome - made me feel right at home.

They have a patio and you can get food too. It's also a short walk from Newport on the Levee.”

“Always have a great meal and drinks the bartenders and staff are amazing”

“Food is really good pairings well done with the beers...LAMB RIBS!!! OMG..A MUST HAVE!!”

“Great atmosphere and wonderful Deeper Roots coffee!”

“I have type 1 diabetes, and my blood sugar dropped to 53 while I was out and about with my daughter today. I stopped in & ordered a Vietnamese Coffee with extra sugar. I was really having a hard time because my blood sugar was so low, but trying to keep it together. I did let the person know I was having this issue. He made my coffee so quickly, and even brought it outside to me where I was waiting with my daughter. Thank you so much for your help today. I can’t explain how much that means to me. The coffee was amazing as well. I will stop by whenever I’m at the Levee from now on. Thanks again, you are a true life saver.”

“I’m absolutely addicted to the açaí bowls at Tropical Smoothie Cafe—they are hands down the best! The fresh ingredients and perfect balance of flavors keep me coming back for more. On top of that, the staff is always so friendly and kind, which makes every visit even better. Whether I’m grabbing a quick snack or a smoothie, the service is consistently incredible. Highly recommend!”

“Great friendly place! Super people own and work there. Beautiful space. Great bourbon selection. Great cocktails. Highly recommended!”

“10/10 pizza, 8/10 boneless wings, 5/10 cheese cubes (why don’t you offer sticks instead?) This is my favorite kind of pizza and they do a great job. Only downside is side is prices large pizza is about $20 as of early 2024 but the taste makes up for it.”

“Great place for ice cream.”

“Fantastic atmosphere, employees. Appetizers were great, Pizza was fantastic. Definitely give this place a try! If we weren't from 5 hours away this would be our go to spot...”

“I have regularly visited Biggby Coffee on Monmouth in Newport KY since it opened and I always have a great experience. The staff is always polite and regularly goes above and beyond to exchange a few words with each customer and create a welcome atmosphere that is rare in quick service and unheard of in a drive through model. Well done Biggby and keep those BOGO coming.”

“The cinnamon rolls were amazing! I got one of the s’mores cinnamon rolls. They were giant sized and delicious! The owner was super sweet and helpful. I also got a peach crisp- it came with ice cream and caramel drizzle. Definitely hit that sweet tooth craving.”

“I went in and ordered a pizza. I never tried it but I had heard good things about it. So I go in and place my order and the young lady who took my order was very sweet I was telling her all the good things I've heard and she says her fav is the green peppers and onion on her pizza. I said oh okay. I'll have to try that. So anyways I got a large pizza with pretty much everything and it was so good it hit the spot! The sweet young lady was right along with everyone else the pizza is very good. Definitely worth the price! So ty young lady stay sweet.”

“Very relaxed atmosphere people are laid back, great place to enjoy music and conversation. Not a place for getting wild a place to enjoy relax an have a drink with friends the people that come here average around 50 years old . Come relax and enjoy! There is a pizza parlor next door if you get hungry and you can bring it in.”

“We went here on my Birthday in 2022 before a river cruise. The bar area is very cozy. The drinks, especially the Bloody Mary and the Dancing Bear, are both pictured here. There's a pool table and a nice patio area. The restrooms are in the back and are acceptable but not glamorous.”

“I love eating here the food is great the prices are better and they have slot machines when you come through the door so you have something to do while you wait for your food. I personally recommend you try the banana or strawberry cheesecake shakes they are awesome.”

“My windows were half down, and Tyler Childers was making a ruckus through my speakers, when the smell of BBQ washed through my car and across my face.

I had just finished a round of crisp, evening, fall golf in Kenton County. The traffic home to Bellevue took longer than usual because 471 North was shut down from the fire under the bridge over Halloween night. I detoured to Route 9 off of I275, heading into the south end of Newport. By the time I was turning onto Monmouth street, the last bit of daylight was slipping away. Street lights were just being triggered from the evening shadows to light up the streets for traffic and pedestrians.

As I passed Webb’s, that aroma of fresh BBQ resonated with me more than the radio waves transmitting Tyler. I immediately pulled over, parking on 9th, right out front of the old Newport establishment. I have wanted to visit Webbs for a long time, but they are opened limited days/hours. So i always forget that they are an option. Luckily the traffic patterns brought me by while they were open! I was going to get some carryout. And a lot of it.

Webbs is in a space at 115 E. 9th Street that used to house another iconic Newport restaurant called Detroit Joes. I used to go there decades ago with my father for wings and ribs. But I hadn’t been into the building since Webbs took over. It brought back warm memories stepping into a familiar space.

Walking in the door I was greeted with friendly, smiling faces. There were a handful of regulars sitting at the bar enjoying cold beers and hot supper while making small talk with each other and with the owners. The walls were covered in old signs and handwritten signatures of hundreds of previous patrons. My order was taken and delivered promptly. It was 6 Smoked Wings, a Half Rack of Ribs, a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Mac n Chz, and Baked Beans. The prices were more than reasonable. And the serving sizes were more than generous.

Im usually not a “Baked Beans guy”. But I do remember having Webbs Beans at a catered event some years ago and really liking them. My memory didn’t let me down this time. Their Baked Beans are sweet, spicy, and delicious. They have chunks of peaches and peppers just like I remembered them. There is almost a hint of Stuffed Bell Pepper taste that makes them unique and memorable. The Mac n Chz gave me all of the fall comfort that I was looking for. It was made with real cheese and real flavor. The cheese was thick and stuck stubbornly to the elbow macaroni when prying out each bite with my fork. The Smoked Wings were perfectly smokey with a wonderful texture. They were full of flavor and did not need a sauce. The Ribs were falling off the bone and fantastic. They really were some of the best Ribs that I’ve had in the NKY/Cincy area. I loved dipping them into the zesty vinegar sauce. If you like vinegar sauces, this one will deliver!! It’s really hard to find a good sauce like this in the area. I also enjoyed this sauce on the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The pulled pork soaked up that sauce and complimented the smoky flavor extremely well. The Hickory BBQ sauce was a winner too. It had a lot of sweet & tangy flavor. Too many BBQ joints accompany their dishes with tired and flavorless sauce options. I was excited to see that Webbs puts the same effort into their sauces as they do their smoked meats. I want to emphasize that none of their dishes actually need a sauce. Everything is already packed full of flavor. But if you are a sauce person, like me, then your taste buds will be rewarded. I tried both sauces on all the dishes. They both complimented all the dishes perfectly. That vinegar sauce was the real winner for me though! There is a lot more I want to try from Webbs. But I would highly recommend anything from the order that I have just highlighted in this review. My favorite dish would probably be the Smoked Ribs with the vinegar sauce! Enjoy!”

“Breakfast is the start of the day so good breakfast and service has me coming back thanks.Donnie

“We went here for my husbands 34th birthday…The service was great fast and well mannered servers …Food was great hot and Tasty and prices are not that expensive…but I loved sitting on the patio able to see The sunset ….I recommend to anybody looking for good Mexican food..”

“I don’t want to hurt this business so I am leaving a 5 star review. But my honest opinion is. This is the worst pizza I’ve ever had. Worse than frozen pizza. Worse than hospital food. Im at a loss for words. It’s somewhere between a lunchables and spaghettio’s. Sauce and base are terrible. Cheese was rubbery and fell off the slice. Dave Portnoy would die if he tried this pizza. If you want a chance to try the worst pizza in the entire universe, order here.”

“Wife and I had a great time here last night visiting from Asheville, watched the UK game. Great bartender, had fun conversations with a bunch of different regulars. We'll be back.”

“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”

“Yum & yummy. This is such a friendly location. Always on the ball! Food is great. Still can't understand why Penn Station is still in business? Double the meat for less!”

“It's a simple little place with good beef hotdogs! They know what they are good at, and they stick to it. My only issue is the price for the hotdogs. They are a nice size, but for 12.99, I'd like a side of something.”

“Very delicious food! Fast and Friendly service!”

“The Westender and grilled cheese sandwiches and Mac and cheese are so yummy!”

“Super cute aesthetic, nice staff, delicious rich baked goods. In the icing, you can see flecks of real vanilla bean, and zest that make their naturally flavored icings. Loved their pride (vanilla bean) macaroon. Such a cute stop on you way to walk along the river!”

“Always great except that I don't like hot dogs. So I get chili cheese sandwiches but they are never made right! Cheese Chili More cheese”

“My husband & I came in from out of town & we weren’t sure as to what to get so we asked the bartender who was unsure but the young man who works in the kitchen (he reminds me of a young tiger woods) came to our rescue with suggestions & made THE BEST grippo mixed with lemon pepper bone in wings. Not only was he attentive, he was very welcoming & made us feel as though we belong after not being too sure about the environment. We will definitely return for a visit. Thank you!”

“After 50 days traveling around SE Asia without skyline chili, I came here, and my life is back on track again! Thank you skyline for your delectable support to my taste buds once again! ??

Best food in the world ?!”

“Busy as befits the delicious food and huge numbers of menu offerings. My favorite place to get Asian take-out.”

“Great experience! Great food! Daytona Wings are the best! It’s on the river!!!!!”

“The banana milkshake had a heavy texture and was delicious. I think the hamburger I ordered as the most basic would be delicious if I eat it when I'm hungry. It didn't taste as fantastic as I expected. Still, the kitchen is clean and the staff are friendly.”

“I've been to other Noodles And Company locations but this was my first visit to this particular location. They have pasta dishes from all across the world. Normally I tend to favour the Wisconsin Mac And Cheese with shrimp on top. I decided to change it up and tried the Spicy Korean Beef Noodles. It's a bowl of Lo Mein, Korean BBQ sauce, steak, cabbage, spinach, cucumber, and cilantro. The sauce was delightful and the steak pieces were excellent as well. The dish was pretty good except for the aggressive use of cilantro. Cilantro is a very dominant flavour and it just drowned out a lot of the great Korean BBQ flavour which was very unfortunate. Take the cilantro away and this would be 1000 times better. This location had full dine in as well as outside eating options. We decided to eat outside as it was a beautiful day out and it was a very pleasant experience out there. The staff was all great as well. Next time I'll stick with the Wisconsin Mac And Cheese and call it a day.”

“Awesome place! I loved the smoking section. Had a dude rip a mean one and blew the smoke at my table. I was coughing for the duration of my meal, so cool! Highly recommend taking the young and elderly, especially if they have underdeveloped lungs or asthma.

10/10 will take my newborn next time

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu with lots of great food. It's all garnished with ash so you can taste the cigarette smoke alongside smelling it.”

“Food was fantastic, restaurant was clean, and David was helpful and friendly! We loved it and will be back! Yessir!”
