I loved the atmosphere, and the employees were excellent! I was however underwhelmed by the quality of the food in relation to the price.

First time at this restaurant. It's located in a very nice neighborhood. They have so much sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant. OMG this place is so big I couldn't believe it. The straws/chips were so so good. I forgot to take a photo. I was told that the wedge salad was delicious and the bacon was amazing. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the bun was nice and warm with butter on it. Our server Russ was very very good.

A Cincinnati original. Ribs and chicken outstanding and love the sauce

Its over rated. My chicken was not throughly cooked, they offered to redo it but I never send food back to kitchen
All in all a good restaurant but like most it has slipped a bit over the years. Better than the boat house because you have to pay to park in a public parking lot.
As for this restaurant and the other one... Why would they think people would want butter wrapped up like a candy wafer. I mean who wants the play with unwrapping it getting all over your fingers, etc. This is stupid!!!! Especially in a nice restaurant.

We dined here at the original restaurant location in Montgomery during the 2025 Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, and we made our selections from that specially priced menu. The first course of Gulf Shrimp Cantonese was delicious, perfectly sized at 3 shrimp, and the plum sauce with hot mustard was excellent (and not too hot). The second course has to be the Original World-Famous Ribs with a side of Saratoga chips and sauce. The third course was the Profiterole, a yummy serving of ice cream in a puffed pastry topped with hot fudge, a perfect way to complete the feast. Try it all, we loved it!

We went to Montgomery Inn last night for the first time in several years, and it brought back memories. Unfortunately, they were memories of how good MI used to be and how far they’ve fallen since then.
I ordered the pork chops because of how juicy, tender, and flavorful they were in the past, but last night they were overcooked, dry, and tough. The Cantonese shrimp appetizer was also overcooked and not even close to how good they were in the past. Even the sweet and hot dipping sauce was almost all sweet with very little hot mustard.
My wife had the ribs and chicken and the Ribs King salad. As with the pork chops, the ribs were overcooked and dry (a far cry from the way they used to be) but at least the sauce came to the rescue to add some flavor and moisture. Her salad was missing its croutons and barely had a touch of color with only a small sliver of carrot. At least the blue cheese dressing was still as good as we remembered.
I speculate that our ribs and pork chops sat under the heat lamps way too long after they were prepared given that we didn’t get our food for well over 30 minutes after we ordered it.
As for cleanliness, the edge of our table (the vertical edge facing me) was sticky - most likely from someone spilling BBQ sauce days, weeks, or months ago. It probably would have taken a knife to scrape it off because my napkin had no effect on it.
Perhaps we could blame MI’s poor performance on it being Greater Cincinnati Restaurant week, but whenever we have gone to other restaurants during a restaurant week event, those restaurants shined - but not MI last night.
Awesome!!
