We made a short visit to Cinncinati to see and explore the city. Upon reading Cincy has a traditionally German neighborhood (now called Over-the-Rhine), we decided to find some German food for an early dinner. We agreed on the Lubecker, and it did not disappoint. The Lubecker is the food service provider at Queen City Radio, a fun bar and beer garden. We enjoyed a cold pitcher of local Cincy Light Beer from Queen City Radio. But the star of the show was the Lubecker's food. We shared a huge soft pretzel with beer cheese and two kinds of mustard, an order of curry wurst, and a pork schnitzel sandwich. The food came out fast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Lubecker's owner stopped by our table and visited with us. He was very charming and answered all our questions about the dishes' histories and preparations. The food was excellent. The beer was ice-cold,m. And the prices were quite reasonable. All was perfect, and we had a wonderful evening.

I'm not sure i have the time to describe how awesome my first experience was... this is AUTHENTIC GERMAN FOOD! and really GREAT might i add. Situated in Queen City Radio, what looks like a food truck is so much more! Met the owners and love them! Hard working and true to the heart of great quality German food, I'm a big fan!

Sunday evening—we were expecting a chill meal but instead were delighted by a thumping dance party. We happened upon a special event.

As someone from Lübeck myself, I was curious – and The Lübecker did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, with the wings being a standout: crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Everything was fresh and made with care. The owner and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming – I immediately felt at home. A great experience all around. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We don't normally go abroad to eat German food. But after 2 weeks of road trip the name “The Lübecker” was too tempting. So we stopped here on Saturday evening after the Bengals game. Big praise for the currywurst, which could also compete well in Germany. The Lübeck cheese spaetzle, on the other hand, wasn't really our thing, but the city of Lübeck isn't known for its spaetzle in Germany either. Of course the whole thing is a snack, but the presentation with the containers is a success. When the weather is nice, you can sit here and get a good beer in the adjacent sports bar. It's a shame that the German owner wasn't there. But the staff present was also super friendly. So a big recommendation from us, for Germans. 😉
