“Didn’t disappoint. I’m glad I stopped“

“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!!!“

“Had the Jean Robert and it was pretty good. I would have preferred a little less Bleu and a little more goat cheese. The Bleu was a little too forward on the taste, but still real good. The fried jalapeños were amazing. It's four whole stuffed-with-cheese-and-cream-cheese jalapeños.
The mac and cheese was fantastic with a little added salt and pepper.
Don't remember what my sister got but it was also amazing.
One of my favorite spots.“

“Excellent service and Food. Compliments to the Chef and staff. Had French Pork Chop. Absolutely phenomenal! Fried Green Tomatoes - best I’ve ever had! Martini was also perfect! Very classy place! Highly recommend! Wish there was a location near me!“

“The smash burgers and fries are yummy! I just wish that they still served their delicious pies for dessert. It's a real shame to not serve something so mothwatering good as their honey vinegar pie.“

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“Great food and service. This is now our favorite place.“

“We ate here for the first time last night , it was packed but we were seated right away and they moved us over to be closer to heat with no issues whatsoever; our server Emily was super sweet and the hostess as well !!! We can’t wait to come back, our food was delicious and great servings … Emily was very attentive and was great with recommendations .. hubby is a cook and can be a little picky haha 🤣 but he LOVED everything he even wanted to tip whoever made the Mac and cheese anywho 10 stars ⭐️“

“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.“

“Always a great time and meal!!!“

“takes you back in time. homemade food ,great atmosphere, treat you like family!“

“Some of the best fish in town! Brandee was wonderful to talk to. We will be back!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and community oriented owners“

“Full House when arrived but short time to wait to be seated. Server friendly and attentive. Food just as I like it. Coffee fill up plentiful. Right price. Highly recommend for breakfast.“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“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+“

“Very romantic. Important to purchase tickets early so that you can request where you want to sit. However, I would like to go again to sit with other people we do not know. Food was great! Ride was good. Probably better in the fall instead of summer. Drinks are a little pricey.“

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

“Sissy, Jim Thank you for great customer service Friday night! Merry Christmas 🎅“

“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.“

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

“Great food but not too fancy.“

“Great lunch option in downtown Cincinnati. Lively, fast paced quick casual spot that focuses on salads, sandwiches and soups. Always packed for weekday lunch though tables turn over quickly. They have a great pick two option with soup/sandwich or soup/salad.“

“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!!“

“always a taste treat with clever choices and healthy too.“

“thanks for feeding our #primeelite boys tonight before their first tournament tomorrow! showing love to the locals ❤️🔥“

“Great food! My only suggestion is to have a website so we can see the every day menu.“

“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!“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

“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.“

“worst store in all categories. I live in Fairfield, Ohio but go to the Harrison store instead., Harrison Cracker Barrel has its act together,“

“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.“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“we ate in today, my mother and i. our experience with our server, Amber was unlike any experience that we've had before I'm grateful. I haven't necessarily given them the best ratings in the past, I don't remember our server's name those times. Amber however will be unforgettable for the rest of my life and here's why. there were a couple of elderly couples that were seated after us, and she was very familiar with these people already, whereas we were not familiar with her at all. she handled each table differently, accordingly, no doubt with respect and love. heavy on both. I had to call and record a charge on my card and I was kind of holding my mom up and be able to order food and I felt bad because she was starving. somehow some way, Amber had our food out to us very quickly, cooked perfectly, absolutely everything the way that we ordered it. we didn't have to send anything back, we didn't have to ask for anything else extra to be brought to us, she even walked by after a few minutes and brought us extra napkins. I mean, super top notch service. quick, perfect. and that singing voice on that woman oh my god! I was a little reluctant to eat here today because my last few times eating here weren't necessarily the best experience, but I will be back for sure.“

“Hubby and I visited Cincinnati for the first time (we are from Ontario Canada) and enjoyed touring the Findlay Market. The food display at the Gourmand Group booth was both captivating and attractive. They offered a wide assortment of salads and some were vegan friendly. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. The bonus was a friendly chat with one of the booth keeper. Highly recommend! (PS. Thanks for that delicious black bean salad!)“

“I recently used Kitchen 1883 to provide food options for a party that I had and it was wildly successful. The Caulisprouts were just about everyone’s favorite, but I got so many compliments on the pulled pork w/Tabasco slaw and the Greek wraps (it was a great vegetarian option)too! The team that worked with me to deliver and set up the food was incredible. So friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond!“

“First visit today - I ordered 2 full slabs, the fried cabbage, jalapeño corn bread stuffing, and potato salad sides, all of which perfectly compliment the smoke on those ribs. Also got to sample a new menu item - jerk pork burnt ends. Absolutely fantastic! The flavor of that jerk sauce will give you chills. Definitely coming back to try everything (yes, everything) else. Dine in or carry-out - just go get some!!“
