50 Best American Restaurants near Camp Dennison

“an experience one must have. beautiful setting. Food was very good served in a down home style.“

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

“I am a member the Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team. Found this great place for the team to eat. Have since made it a regular stop for me and the team when in this area. We are 10 to 20. Time is usually a problem for us, and they have always got-r-done for us. It may seem pricey but what you get is worth it. We average once a month+ here or more. We try to spread our presence around. We have been going here for around 2 years and the food is always great. We have almost had everything on their menu.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Last night our family unexpectedly stopped in while a large group (20ish people. The staff was quick to make space for us and our waitress was amazing. She got all of our orders correct and even helped me order safely w food allergies. The chefs also did a wonderful job. The food was cooked to perfection and came out pretty quickly considering the size of our group. Great job everyone! Thank you for being awesome. We will definitely be back again“

“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.“

“Excellent hand crafted cocktails made by highly skilled and friendly Bartenders. The smoked carrot hummus was devine!“

“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).“

“We have been to MaineTowne several times now and LOVE their food! Each time has been an amazing experience and they have the best staff! We love their food so much we also do pickup orders when we don’t have time to go for a sit down meal! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

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

“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+“

“My favorite restaurant!!! Been going here for 40 years. Best gravy cheese fries in the world. Best double deckers money can buy.“

“A true gem in the heart of Ohio. ??“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“Food and drinks are amazing!! The best service from our server Saige!“

“Food was delicious!!! Table was too small for 4 guests. Smaller parties occupied much larger tables.“

“Our waitress was Rhianon, and she was absolutely fantastic! Food was great, and service was awesome. Highly recommend the filet mignon and New York strip!“

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

“Stopped in today for Brunch, everything was amazing as always! Maeve was the bartender and I could see she had some guests that thought they were the only people who mattered. She smiled and was very professional. I tip my hat to her for having to deal with entitled people and not even flinch! We always try to get out to Loveland for brunch whenever possible. The staff is wonderfully knowledgeable, food is always delicious, and let us not forget the remarkable cocktails! They even have tasty ones for those who do not drink alcohol! I have to say Tano is my go to place!“

“Everything about Main St. Café is superlative. I think they have one of the best burgers in the city. Certainly in the top five of all the burger joints that I have been to, including zips and Dellwood. But on top of that, the last time I was there, I had the homemade
roasted red pepper soup. It was as good as the best soup in any high end restaurant. Service is excellent. As far as atmosphere, it is closer to zips than to Dellwood in terms of atmosphere.“

“8/24/25: Haely did a great job handling all tables on Sunday afternoon.

Update: Nov 3, 2023
The service was quick, and food was good. We came for early dinner. It was busier than usual.

Original:
Came for lunch on Thursday. It was not too busy. The service was quick, and our waiter was very nice and friendly.
We ordered the ribeye steak - turned out that it was very good. I would say it's better than Texas Roadhouse. Overall was good.“

“We had a party of 9 for my husband's birthday. They gave us a private room and the service was fantastic! Everyone said their food was delicious (Bistecca, Birch Burger, Eggplant Curry) I had the roasted chicken. The flavor was fantastic, but the chicken itself was dry.“

“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.“

“Large American tavern, rarely disappoints. Good burgers, fish and chips and hot sandwiches and salads. Service is good and even when busy don’t feel like it takes long to prepare meals. Good selection of drinks although cocktail selection a bit underwhelming and Guinness not quite as it should be. Everyone loves the cornbread! Today we enjoyed burgers, beer battered fish and chips and classic chicken sandwich.“

“Went for the first time and had a blast really good service by my dude Tristan. And great food as well.“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“Our new favorite place!!“

“For basic chicken tenders and fries it was delicious. Light attendance day so easy to find a wheelchair-accessible table, but most seating at the eating areas is benches. If unable to find an open accessible table, there are two seating spots with a lower counter at the new bar on the south side of this restaurant that are likely open. Wish the table area had better shade. None of the wheelchair spots were completely shaded.

Wheelchair accessibility: Several wheelchair-accessible tables.“

“We had great service the other day! Sean was phenomenal! He’s always so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu!“

“We visited here on a Saturday and we had great service. I highly recommend the Pub Burger. We also were here a year ago, and I had the London Bridge fish sandwich, which was also perfect. My wife tried the KI salad. It was really heavy on the onion, which is odd for a salad with cheese crumbles, pecans, and cranberries. Also, the dressing was too sweet and they put too much on. Imagine the sweet onion sauce from Subway. It was an odd combination. Also, the only other downside was that tutor tots were the only side choice unless you wanted to pay an uncharged. Overall, the food is great, and I can't wait to try other menu options.“

“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!“

“Went here for a date night and left so full and happy!! Our server, Jenny, took such good care of us. It was nice to have the menu and specials explained to us in details and got a lot of recommendations from her, too. We ordered the crab cakes, mussels, lamb rack, their steak and crab special for the night. Everything was cooked to perfection with right seasonings and temp. We really enjoyed the special-the filet mignon was soooo tender and the crab was sweet! It was cool to have a candle lit butter and Cajun spiced lemon on the side for the crab. We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.“

“Great food, friendly faces and awesome service!“

“Im picky about potato salad and theirs is so so good. The meats are all so good it's hard to chose. The cornbread is Grandma approved and she is picky about her cornbread 91 and she loved it. She also had the chicken and loved it. The deserts are nice size and yummy my husband had the chocolate cake said it was really good Granma and I had the banana pudding very good. Wish their prices were a little lower but hey all restaurants are now expensive but the food is worth it. Yummy 😋“

“We just had to share a huge thank you to Quarter Bistro for making our son’s night so special! Our 17-year-old son took his girlfriend there for homecoming dinner on Saturday. We had told him to make sure he was ready — check prices, reservations, have enough to tip, the whole parent talk. He chose Quarter Bistro because it’s a place they always drive past, and it felt special to them even though they’d never been. He came home absolutely glowing! He said the food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect — even if, in his words, it was “all older people” 😂. The best part? The manager came out, told them how much he loved seeing young couples there, and took care of their bill. That kindness meant the world to him — and to us as parents. Thank you so much to the staff and management for such a thoughtful gesture. It made their night unforgettable. ❤️ We’ll definitely be visiting soon ourselves!“

“Food was great. Service was quick and friendly. I wish Cincinnati had more Greek restaurants. I live in Fairfield and we just don’t have any authentic Greek food. I’m very excited my new office is only 4 minutes down the road. I plan on not packing my lunch as much and taking some time away from work. The staff all seemed very friendly and the servers were very kind to children while I was there. I want to bring my family here but the hours won’t allow it because of work and school.“

“Morning Meditation, carrot cake pancake, & Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict! Perfect Sunday brunch!“

“The food was delicious and amazing!!“

“First time at this Le Peep and I will be back. My husband and I are picky and McKenna didn't care and was laid back about my requests and had the cooks prepare everything to my specifications. I ordered an egg white omelet and changed it around quite a bit-she customized it perfectly and it tasted wonderful. We thouroughly enjoyed this breakfast, and the atmosphere is cute and inviting. The manager also was kind, customer focused and came around to the tables checking on how things were. 5 stars for this establishment and 5 stars for McKenna. She's a huge asset here!“

“My family was very happy with our take-out food from Mezedes. It was delicious and the portions were large. My gyro, for example, had an amazing amount of meat on it. The menu is varied, so we’re looking forward to returning to Mezedes to try some of the other delicious food there.“
