50 Best American Restaurants near Blue Ash

“I had a wonderful luncheon experience yesterday at The Brown Dog Cafe with my two best friends to celebrate a 70th birthday! Our waitress, Karlie, was great—kind, she was very accommodating, and the drinks were spot on.

The food was delightful, featuring the duo grilled cheese, southwestern chicken soup, salmon, and the duo salad and soup—perfect flavors and presentation.

I would definitely go back and highly recommend this place to others.

Five stars for the overall experience!“

“I was introduced to Apple Spice Junction and they are now officially incorporated into my lunch needs for work. Last week 38 boxed Classic lunches were ordered and today 18 boxed Deluxe lunches were ordered. Safe to say that I WILL ALWAYS BE BACK. Great food, and even better service. They are keepers as far as I’m concerned. 10/10 A+“

“If you are staying at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash, then give the hotel restaurant a try. The waitresses and bartenders are extremely nice and helpful. Good size menu for a hotel restaurant. Prices are even better compared to chain restaurants. Water and sodas are complimentary. Food quality is great. Above my expectations completely. Anytime I go to Cincinnati, I will be staying and eating at that hotel.“

“Best pancakes you will find! Very nice staff and management“

“Staff was very friendly. We built our own bowls and everything was so fresh. I love this place. The quac and salsa were both great. Everything was well over average. I also had the berry blend smoothie which is so good for you and taste so good. The cookies at the end were so big and fresh and chewy. We will definitely be back 11/10“

“Delicious!“

“YES YES THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT I LOVE ME SOME CITY BARBECUE THIS IS WHERE ME AND MY EX USED TO EAT AT ALL THE TIME AND WE ONLY CAN EAT AT IT WHEN IT WAS A BUDGET BUT WE STILL FOUND OUR WAY TO EAT HIS FAVORITE FOOD AND MY FAVORITE FOOD CITY BARBECUE AND WE WERE LICKING THEM FINGERS FINGER LICKING GOOD BABY“

“Tried them immediately after taking over Blocks.. they were amazing.We bought some this past week and they were awful, they sliced them so indifferently you couldnt even close the bagel up after filling with cream cheese. The taste and texture were like shoe leather....the same answer you see here. "We haven't changed a thing...oh we beg to disagree....horrible.“

“I picked up an online to go order of Dinner for Two at what I guess was close to their closing time. It took a few minutes for anyone to notice I was at the front counter, but they did have my food ready right away. The server seemed a little distracted like maybe they were in preparation for closing. I had to ask for utensils and there was no salt or pepper, no butter for the rolls, and no napkins included in the bag (and the utensil packets do not include spoons which we needed for the soup we ordered. We're staying in a hotel so it was a bit of a bother to try to go find some.) The order was accurate, however, and the food was very good, but the portion size for the steak tips we ordered was a little disappointing, considering the $5 up charge per person for them over the regular Dinner for Two price. It was a decent meal overall, but just a few things could have made it much better.“

“Audrey was amazing today, which was only second to the meal!“

“Excellent service and Food. Compliments to the Chef and staff. Had French Pork Chop. Absolutely phenomenal! Fried Green Tomatoes - best I’ve ever had! Martini was also perfect! Very classy place! Highly recommend! Wish there was a location near me!“

“The smash burgers and fries are yummy! I just wish that they still served their delicious pies for dessert. It's a real shame to not serve something so mothwatering good as their honey vinegar pie.“

“Was looking for a breakfast place, let me tell to you, today we found a great hidden gem. The price was spot on, the portions were great! Staff was super nice and friendly!! 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!!!“

“Great food and service. This is now our favorite place.“

“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.“

“Always a great time and meal!!!“

“fast friendly good food good prices it's a 10 + in my book“

“We dined here on the occasion of a family birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were treated in a friendly and efficient way. We chose Firebirds for its quality food, but also because their menu is broad-based enough to satisfy even finicky teenagers. From the tasty lobster queso appetizer and Caesar salads, right through the main courses of steak & pasta, a tomahawk pork chop, ahi tuna, and the filet/shrimp combo, everything was excellent. The wait staff were great — right on time when needed, but not overbearing. We will go back, soon.“

“takes you back in time. homemade food ,great atmosphere, treat you like family!“

“Celebrated my birthday with Gluten Free Donut Holes🙌🙌 So good! The staff was so friendly, the food is always delicious!“

“Best food experience I have ever had. BBQ brisket burger was the best burger I have ever had.

Service was top tier for a restaurant of this nature.

Prices worth every penny

Had to still wait on a table unfortunately even with reservations.“

“Thank you so much for accommodating our large group of 12! Bucks is our FAVORITE Thursday night supper spot but we never considered hosting a family celebration there because of space and timing. The Bucks staff and owner made it all work, seating our party as they came, serving those of us who were early with appetizers, and AS ALWAYS, delicious food. The perfect atmosphere for our daughter’s birthday (who has been a Bucks fan for years).“

“I ate at Northstar Cafe in Liberty Township, OH, on a Saturday evening around 9:00 PM. The cashier who took my order was very patient and helpful. I asked several questions about the food since I hadn’t previously eaten at this quick-serve restaurant but she never showed the least exasperation with me.

The music was a little loud. Too loud to carry on a private conversation, but perhaps an acceptable volume for large parties. The interior decoration was pleasant and modern.

I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. My burger was exactly as I ordered it and the French fries were hot and crisp.

I enjoyed my food, the service and (mostly) the ambiance of this Northstar Cafe. If I lived in the area, I would definitely eat there again.“

“I love this place Autumn and Kristen are the best bartenders I've ever had!! The food is top notch too!“

“Best breakfast place in the area. Coffee is awesome and the service cannot be beat!“

“My son & I, from the Columbus area, were in Milford at dinner time. Not knowing what was available near our location, he looked at what was in the area. This was the only place that was different. He had the mushroom Swiss burger, I had the smallest burger; we both had coleslaw. The burgers were delicious! Being hand-pattied was the special touch, as most come pre-formed. We were seated immediately around 6:00 on a Friday evening. Our waitress was prompt in taking and delivery, attentive without hovering. This was a great dining experience!“

“Tasting and food was great. Also, service at tasting bar and dining table was great.“

“Trio is the best! Can't say enough good things about the food and service! Kaitlyn our server is beyond fantastic!“

“A true gem in the heart of Ohio. ??“

“Great roof top area, food was amazing and prices were very reasonable . friendly staff. Will be back“

“Very romantic. Important to purchase tickets early so that you can request where you want to sit. However, I would like to go again to sit with other people we do not know. Food was great! Ride was good. Probably better in the fall instead of summer. Drinks are a little pricey.“

“Great place !! But …. well ., I’m trying to date Betty 😐🤣🥰✅“

“Love nation kitchen and bar ❤️“

“We had a wonderful private party for my husbands retirement. Everything was wonderful from the environment , food and drinks! Highly recommend!“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

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

“We had really great service...there were at least 30 of us here and our server, Shell was absolutely amazing! She was excellent..and the food was delicious!!!“

“We were there after a soccer game and the server was slammed and she still managed to get to us in a respectable amount of time. The food was amazing and the fries stayed hot all through the meal!!“

“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.“

“We loved the Beer Battered Fried Pickles, the Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings were awesome, and my daughter's jaw dropped when she saw the size of the Pretzel appetizer! Large portions and everything was great. Our server was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.“

“The food is delicious!! The service is excellent too!!“

“Some friends and I who had not seen each other in many years met up at Cooper’s Hawk last night for dinner. We were treated so well in every aspect! They let us catch up for hours and our server answered our many questions about the menu and wine with patience and knowledge. Our food was delicious and the wine pairings were excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially our wonderful server, we had a wonderful evening!“

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