Burger Restaurants near Forest Park

“:::EDIT:::Since that review 6 years ago, this location changed its procedures and is now much quicker to serve customers both inside and drive-thru. It consistently only takes about 3-5 minutes from the time I enter the drive thru to get my order, It's always accurate since they tell you what's in the bag as you get your order. The staff is efficient, and respect your time. The food quality is standard for a McDonalds. :::END EDIT:::
OLD OUTDATED REVIEW BELOW:
Slowest McDonald's on the planet. Took 27 minutes from the time I entered the drive thru to the time I got my food. It was a burger, drink, and Apple pie! This McDonald's is generally slow. This is just the gold standard for slow. The staff is reasonably friendly and the food is standard quality. They're just unable to serve people in a timely manner.“

“We eat at Blue Ash Chili frequently. I always order something different off the wide menu and have never had a meal that wasn’t delicious! Friendly servers and fast service. They are so kind to my messy grandchildren! Sit at the bar and watch the cooks create the plates! Today was our anniversary and we treated ourselves to a massive peanut butter milk shake! Oh yeah they know we’ll be back!“

“Great Food! Great Service! and Great Deals!! My favorite is their Fish Sandwich with Tarter Sauce & Fries for $10 + tax. The Sandwich and Fries were both so GOOD!! I recommend it! I will be ordering mine withing minutes!!“

“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!!!“

“Went there today with a large group of retirees, 14 of us. The food was great and service even better, with a very place!! Thank you and will definitely be back !!“

“good food can't wait to come back“

“The hamburgers were great and fixed to order. The tater tots were yummy, just a bit over salted. Was a little disappointed with the key lime pie shake, didn’t have much key lime flavor to it.“

“Amazing food and friendly service!! Love the Pearl Jam and Mac miller!“

“Visited today and everything was delicious. We had our favorite waitress, Lacey. We usually go there at least once a week. Lacey always knows what we want to drink when we get there. It was nice to see her today. We hadn't seen her the last few times we were there.“

“went to Swensons on Madison road in Cincinnati ohio. We had been meaning to try this since it open. We were a little disappointed in the serving size of the fries, Double cheese burger, and Fried bologna sandwich. Taste wise it was great. Service was fast and friendly. I'd recommend to anyone but I'd definitely recommend to double your order if you want enough to eat.“

“This establishment is one of the best in Butler county Oh. great service,drinks and food. The ribs are so good that your tongue will slap your brain silly“

“So much more than Chili, great diner food and desserts as well! Always great service and fresh food at the Springdale, OH location!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and timely service. The atmosphere is priceless.“

“We love Ali’s!! The food is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and fun for all ages. And the staff is amazing!! What’s not to love there? Ali is a staple of our community and she puts everything she has info her business and her customers. That’s the best part.“

“Friendly staff and very helpful since it was my first time eating there. Food was very good. Loved the fries!“

“Jolly 😊 it's just the best , we was at the one across from Dayton Lane after fishing all day“

“Gordo's is the kind of timeless place that makes visitors feel comfortable without making a big deal about it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very good at their jobs; they seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and it shows.

The food is absolutely delicious and served in daunting portions. The burgers are the jaw-unhinging size (and shape) of baseballs, cooked beautifully and doctored up in amazing ways. Six out of seven of us chose different styles, and none of us were disappointed; I had Boursin and poblano, and I still regret that I couldn't finish that last bite. The lone holdout, my mother, ordered a chef's salad and raved about it, saying that it was the first she'd ever had that she honestly couldn't finish. My dad and I will testify that she did her best.

The only dessert listed at Gordo's is the Dessert of the Day. I asked our waitress whether it actually existed, or if they (rightly) assumed that no one would ever have room to order it. She said that they did (it was tiramisu that day), but most people who could still think about food ordered it to go. My teenager made a reflexive plea, but they were too full to put in real effort.

If we didn't live two states away, Gordo's would already be our family's regular place, and my fridge would already be stocked with the Dessert of the Day. As it is, we'll definitely be back whenever we visit Cincinnati.“

“Was looking forward to the beer braised tofu sandwich but the other tofu hoagie was good too. Maybe next time Greatbupbeat place to dine.“

“This is a great place, I stay near by for work every week, the staff has always treated with respect and great service. It’s great to see a non chain restaurant with a following of great people and great hospitality. Thanks Lakota and Jimmy for making me feel welcome.“

“When I was entering your establishment, I was bring it immediately with a smile and options on your menu. Since I've never been to your restaurant before. Congratulations on having such an exquisite staff and nice place to come and eat.It won't be the last time.“

“Spinach Gouda bacon omelette is on point. Pankcakes are fluffy and yum. Service and quality hasn’t slipped since last time I was here. High hopes for this place! Bar staff is amazing as well!“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“Absolutely love the weekly meal plans, grab-n-go, Cafe and smoothies!“

“Our Mom's choice for her 88th Birthday was Ron's Roost. 🥳 Char was hands down the best waitress I've had this year anywhere - personable, professional, & polite! 😊 I only wish I had room for pie.“

“Great Food! Awesome beer! Fun game nights. we always have a good time!“

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

“delicious food and great service thanks a lot guys“

“Staff is pretty friendly for the most part. Environment was clean and there was plenty of seating. Restrooms were clean. Items were stocked. Orders are freshly made so there is a bit of a wait time but it's definitely worth it. It's a bit hot inside as the kitchen area is open and doesnt have great ventilation“

“Can’t be. Better place to Eat and Drink Food is Outstanding and so are the Drinks The other great thing is the outside Seating and the Groups they Schedule to Play Outside Go McCoys!!!!“

“Best burger in a long time! Fresh and tasty! We got the shroom burger. Fries are excellent too!“

“This should be a 5 star restaurant! They have great service food is hot off the grill cold drinks ! I recommend for a quick bite to eat !“

“Quick trip through drive thru and it was fast and food was hot and service was great“

“I love going to Indian Mound Cafe. It is my primary destination for cheeseburgers, and I am NEVER disappointed. The onion rings are outstanding as well, which usually is not the case at most restaurants. There are no soggy or greasey onion rings at the Mound. The are crisp and delicious.

The owner, Sheila, is a truly lovely person who makes you feel like your business is important, but not as important to her as you are as a person. Whenever I stop in, Sheila greats me with a smile. On more than one occasion, when I have been having a bad day or two and stoped in to eat, Sheila always asks how I am. And not in a superficial or condescending way, but like someone who really does give a hoot.

As an older adult who spends a consiserable amount of time alone, it is heartwarming to think that someone is glad to see me. It is even more touching that someone is honestly concerned about my well being. But that seems to be the case with many of the customers who come to the Indian Mound Cafe. It really is one of those places where the owner and staff know the majority of clientele and treat them as more than just a source of income, but like friends.

As if those atributes aren't enough, there aren't a lot of places at this point where you can have a sit-down meal cooked to order w a soft drink and tip for under $20. I tend to make it in at least several times a month, and I typically bring folks with me. One of my regular dining companions raves about the vegetable soup which, like all the soups, is homemade. I, personally, keep trying to stop in early enough on a Thursday to try the sliders special, but no luck so far--they are always sold out.

One more thing, there is an excellent Central American bakery a couple of doors down from the Mound on the same side of the street. It is well worth stopping in and grabbing some delicious (and extremely budget friendly) baked goods to take home or enjoy as desert after eating at the Mound. The pastries are not super sweet, which I like. But of course, that just means I want more! And at the prices they charge, I can walk out with a good sized bag for between $10 and $12. It is one of those hidden gems that I really enjoy turning people on to. Bon Appetit.“

“Last time we came here we had a gift card for Oakley kitchen, and the man working at the time (April 16th 2024 actually) did sketches and drawings and was super nice, (also the burgers are phenomenal) he figured out how to use the gift card perfectly fine and even rung us up a second time for another order. We came again today and they suddenly can’t take the gift card, it’s a 100 dollar gift card and there’s only four places even open here with fat Al’s being one of the two places we’re interested in. Really dissapointing as it was used perfectly fine the last time TWICE and we drove half an hour to get here specifically for their burgers. The manager was on the phone and said they were one of the last people to switch to using a card (or something like that??) but again it worked last time we came so that doesn’t make any sense :/ our visit today was on 4/30/24.“

“The food was amazing the staff was wonderful . Definitely will be back“

“Great food. Fun time.“

“We had heard about this restaurant from a friend so we decided to try it for lunch. It's right on Wyoming Avenue at the border of Wyoming and Lockland. The lunch and dinner menus are the same but they have a variety of daily specials. We kept it simple for lunch: a hamburger with fries and a veggie burger with Saratoga chips. The burger was big and tasty but the veggie patty didn't have much taste and the texture was too soft. It's not something I would order again. A soft drink and a beer (the place is also a brew pub) ran up a bill of $40. It's primarily an Italian place but there are several non-Italian choices from Fish & Chips to Rueben sandwiches. It has a nice, cozy ambiance and service was prompt and courteous. It could easily become my local hangout except it's just a little too far from my home. That being said I do plan to revisit and try some of their Italian fare. Free parking on the street or in their lot. Full bar.“

“I was at Township Tavern last Wednesday night, July 9. First time I’ve been here. Michelle behind the bar was welcoming and quick with the drinks and taking our orders. The food service team was excellent and the food was just fantastic. Highly recommend the Italian sub and the breakfast burger. Will definitely be back.“

“We frequent Wings on Brookwood almost weekly. The food is great, they ALWAYS get our takeout order correct, and their staff is always kind. Our favorite wings in the area by far!“

“We had Topped Fries food truck come to our company establishment. It's safe to say they were a big hit. Many employees came out and enjoyed the food and commented how much they enjoyed having them. Customer service was great and we got our food quickly. We are looking forward to having them again.“

“my food Buddy boy & onion Rings was thoroughly disgusting! I took a picture of my plate of food. I wish I could post it on here. The owner needs to change the name!“

“Five Guys has the cleanest stores and the best burgers, dogs and fries. everything is fresh and orders are always accurate.“

“I ordered a cheeseburger and being a diabetic I can’t have bread(bun)..and they wrapped it with lettuce.. it was delicious.. I know were I’m getting my burger from now on.. you guys rock“

“I ordered something online, but I guess the order didn’t go through. When I arrived at the restaurant, I explained the situation to the host, and she brought over the manager, who was incredibly understanding. She offered to have my order made and even gave my boyfriend and me steak fries and a drink while we waited. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality! I didn’t catch her name, but she was a cute, short brunette. She truly made the experience so much better!“

“On 2-7-25 I ordered at drive thru. I waited for them to bring out my order. 4 cars behind me got their order.I went inside to find out where my order was. Asst Mgr Barb, without missing a beat continued filling orders, asked if they had my order.When she got no answer, she asked one of the cooks to make my sandwich.She asked another co-worker if she had coupons. Once my order was ready, she sincerely apologized for the and gave me my food and the coupon. I told her I was impressed with how she made things happen and took care of the situation. She was very professional and was doing an awesome job managing the business.“

“Amazing Food, Amazing Environment, Amazing Service (Their service is top-notch)! This was our first time enjoying Sugar N Spice for Breakfast. The eggs were so fluffy, pancakes were perfection and meat was all so delicious!“

“Diamond and Will were exceptional. Great service with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Food was hot and fresh. Concrete were made with care. Made sure I had a carrier and what I needed to get my to go order home. Will definitely come back again.“

“Best place to eat! Their fresh fries are so good!! Sometimes my husband goes just to get us fries. You’re missing out on some great food if you’ve never eaten here. What are you waiting for?? Get in your car and head to Culver’s!!“
