Great food, service and atmosphere! Recommend the Whipped Feta, Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, Poblano Queso, and Cuban Sandwich!!

Just had the best lunch ever. The white chicken chili was so good. Got to meet the two owners, nice as can be. I will definitely be eating there again. Support local buisness.

Been here a couple times now and awesome staff and amazing food. Highly recommend. This last time had the White Chicken Chili and Brisket Mac and Cheese. Would have shared a picture but ate them too quickly because of how awesome they were. So great to have an amazing place right here in Maineville.

Great place! Unique repurposed brick building with style. So much character - indoors and outdoors. Outside is neat with games, firepits, and heaters on the tables for the fall. Bar has double digit taps with good brews. I had the Seasonal Apple Salad & BLMT sandwich lunch special, also, sampled some Brisket Mac & Cheese. Fantastic! I would, and plan to, order again next time I am in Cincinnati for a visit.

For a locals' bar with food, this is fine. But I was really hoping for something more and feel this is a miss. Not sure what their target market is - Maineville of 20 years ago? Certainly not the high priced subdivisions surrounding the downtown Maineville area. Limited menu is - salads and sandwiches, though the salad I had was reasonably good and delivered quickly. The aluminum '70s camping bowl it was served in was a miss. the building is chopped up as it was a house. The lighting is so bright you could perform surgery - not really conducive to a restaurant. Service is OK - fitting for a start-up. They are in process to obtain their full liquor license. This could have been the anchor to really start a revitalization for downtown Maineville - it is not that anchor. Really want this place to do well, but needs to improve: better menu and cohesion between rooms, decor, lighting, place settings, delivering water to the table as a matter of course not upon request, etc.

We have been there five times now. The service is good. The food comes with mixed reviews. The Whipped Feta was so rich I could only take a few bites. It was more like something that should be on a salad. Take that one off the menu. The Mac and Cheese was really good and came out piping hot. One of the best Mac and Cheeses I've had at a restaurant. The Beef Brisket Sloppy Joe was good. I've had that twice. The Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was unremarkable. I probably wont get it again. The Meatballs were so hard I couldn't enjoy them. Improve on the meatballs or remove them from the menu. We've had the Grippos Tots three times and they would have been fabulous if they had come out hot. Every time they were warm bordering on room temperature. They are in desperate need of a good burger on the menu. Maybe a smash burger. The prices are somewhat high. They need to darken the bar area a bit and make it a little more warm. Maineville is in need of a good food / bar place. It will be a hit if they can hone in on the menu and make sure to serve everything hot every time.

Kitchen service took over one hour to deliver 4 sandwiches. The blame was placed on side orders of tater tots. No apologies from manager and no adjustments on bill. We wanted to support local restaurants but will not be back!
We just had lunch here. I had the chopped chicken and cole slaw sandwich and my wife had a chicken flatbread (which I sampled) with salad. The chicken is fresh and locally raised. It all tasted great and price was affordable. The service, too, was over-the-top. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere with several small, cozy rooms, plus outdoor seating. Overall I cannot find anything bad to say about MT, which is unusual for me. (Maybe switch to paper straws from plastic? That would be nice.)
We'll be back!

Took my wife out to lunch here and had a great time. Our cocktails were really well made and the food was great. Really cool build out in a historic building, bonus points there. Will have to come back for a happy hour and dinner in the future!

Get out! This place is a hidden gem. Everything you could want in a food experience. The food was fantastic! The service, attentive and on point! I’m so excited to come back and enjoy it all over again. Mike, owner, came by to check on us. He went above and beyond and hearing about the history and family of love that made this establishment, made my day!

Very cute atmosphere. You can tell that there was a lot of thought and effort put into the design and overall concept of the restaurant. This is the main reason I am giving 4 stars because I have been in the restaurant business and the details are key.
The service was good. I won't say great as it was busy and fairly obvious that these people were spent. It was busy as it was Friday night and the bar was packed. I'm not sure why there was only one bartender. They were slammed! They were doing their best but it was fairly obvious that they were exhausted. Been there. Get a service bartender and help that poor person out! Our table was upstairs which was a bit of a mess. The hostess was kicking butt though keeping those tables cleaned and rotating. Our server was a bit frazzled though nice. The food and drinks took awhile to come out. Recommendation: get your servers to read The Waiting Game. It helped me out tremendously when I was just starting out waiting tables.
The food was ok. I think our favorite was the pretzel with the whipped feta and poblano queso. Everything came out hot and seemed like it didn't sit too long in the window.
Overall, I think the place will get better over time. The business demand for the area is certainly there. Best of luck MaineTowne. We are rooting for you!
