“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“
“Review wrote by my 12 year old son "We thought it was a run of the mill restaurant then we got the food at it was the best food the bathrooms are great and the waiting area benches have real truck backs 5 stars recommend if you come to Cincinnati"“
“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me“
“I came here for the lobster crab shrimp BLT and I thought I found the love of my life but not this time. I wish the filling of the seafood portion had more texture with pieces of meat. It puts me in mind of tuna salad. It’s a cold sandwich but the filling was ice cold. The French fries could use improvement as well. Overall the food wasn’t nasty but I wouldn’t order or recommend it. Over priced as well for what’s given. The restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely come back to try another dish. I sat at the bar and the young lady who took my order was very pleasant which is why I ate in.“
“Everything was very good. Between us we had ribeye with truffle butter and beef stroganoff. A twice baked potato was added along with drinks. The place was busy with everyone downtown for the evening and the staff handled it smoothly. Overall, a good experience and will return.“
“Dining in with a Stromboli. Bringing it to the table took a few minutes, because it was cooked for me. And it tasted delicious. The cup of marinara was the perfect size (and perfect taste). This isn't high-brow Italian. This is GOOD Italian. I'll be back.Parking: Hundreds of parking spaces available.“
“Stopped on our way from Ohio to Nashville. Quaint little place. Friendly staff food was very good. Had the Burrata which was some toasted baguette pieces with mozzarella and tomato. Also had a Cobb salad and the special sandwich which was a toasted sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. Overall a very tasty stop.“
“Our server, Elijah, was great. He paced the meal well and did not rush us. The food was well prepared. One in our party had the swordfish special. The other had the shrimp scampi which was flavorful as well. Sitting on the enclosed back patio with the fire pit was a nice touch as well as the band that was playing music that was not too loud either. The restaurant is certainly a nice spot and we will be back.“
“New restaurant with free public parking in a seriously open bright warm and inviting atmosphere that has an open kitchen to the guests. The entree menu is insanely diverse and makes you think you absolutely need to come back over and over to try all of the options. Loved it. Everybody had to sample each other’s dishes because they were so diverse but paired so well We were very impressed with the food taste and quality here and will be back. Not overly loud, and not overpriced For the quality and selection. Dessert was incredible too!“
“We haven't had such a fantastic experience in a restaurant in so long, I forgot what it feels like. We were promptly seated by the hostess, and she was friendly. Our waitress was great and was very polite and attentive. I'll never get tired of having a refill for my drink set down in front of me before I have to ask. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the decor. I was glad we were almost finished when they sat a couple at the table next to ours, because it is a little close and you're right in each other's conversation. I got the salmon bruschetta to start, and it was so good. Everything tasted so fresh, and the flavors blend beautifully. My girlfriend got the French onion soup, and that looked amazing. She said it tasted really good. We both ordered the filet mignon, and she wanted hers medium rare, and I wanted mine cooked medium. While both steaks were excellent, neither one was cooked as requested, and both were pretty rare. I'm going to let that slide, since everything else was so good. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is so damn good, I want the recipe. It's very creamy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were excellent and I could eat a bowl of just that. We will definitely be back, and totally understand all the accolades now. Two thumbs up.“
“I love my tacos so much. Today we ordered #8 “Taco Birria Meal” and #18 “Chicken taco meal”. The chicken tacos were amazing everything is fresh the beans can just be eaten by them selves. The Birria meal was amazing. The meat was tender and the shells were perfectly cooked and crunchy. Def at 10/10. The rice was perfectly done. It was just so much great flavor. They have amazing greetings at the front door. Great service from the entry to the table. Best in Cincinnati, I will definitely be back tomorrow.Spanish:I love my tacos very much. Today we ordered #8 “Birria Taco Food” and #18 “Chicken Taco Food.” The chicken tacos were amazing, everything is fresh, the beans can be eaten alone. Birria's food was amazing. The meat was tender and the shells perfectly cooked and crispy. Definitely a 10/10. The rice was perfectly done. It was just a great flavor. They have an amazing greeting at the front door. Great service from the entrance to the table. Best in Cincinnati, will definitely be back tomorrow.“
“We visited here before a play at the Aronoff, a 2 block walk. Our server was excellent. I had an Old Fashioned and the pastrami special , very good.However the half chicken was a bit dry, and overpriced at $30. The other meals at the table were good, it being Friday lent the menu was a bit “
“First time experiencing dinner there and we will definitely be going back! We were welcomed by Dara who was all smiles and waited on by Sierra. She was very pleasant and attentive! Food was perfectly prepared and the atmosphere was so nice especially because we sat by the fireplace. We all ordered the prime rib which was so good and we look forward to trying more of their menu!“
“The manager David took really good care of us and this is by far of the best breakfast I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of breakfast throughout the country . If you’re in Cincinnati, you need to stop here and enjoy the atmosphere and the great food!“
“Very pleasant evening, dinner delicious and service was excellent. Ambience lovely and lively! Would love to see a more imaginative dessert selection offered—chocolate mousse, chocolate tart or lava cake, profiteroles, fruit tart, fresh berries“
“What an amazing experience! It's been a while since we've dined with you, so we appreciated the menu items from Maisonette and Table, as well as the retooled menu. Our server Ann was such a pro and absolutely unflappable. We look forward to dining at Bar A Boeuf again soon.“
“My all time favorite is their liver and onion .. it will melt in your mouth... friendly service..always a smile.. wonderful chefs, have never had anything that wasn't good.. we live about a hour away , and visit at least once a month... a must to visit !! Treat your belly ?“
“The cutest little place for healthy, delicious food! My table got the brussel and shroom quinoa bowl, Mediterranean quinoa bowl, and adobo brisket and cheese sandwich, and everything was scrumptious. Prices are reasonable, food came out hot and quick, and the service is friendly! 5 stars all the way.Parking: It’s a busy area and finding parking, even on a Tuesday night, was difficult.“
“Decided to stop here on our trip with our 2 kids, 5 and 3. The staff were all very friendly and the food and beer were great. We used the QR code to order food and drinks from my phone and it worked great. We tried the dill pickle pizza and the kids had chicken tenders and fries, and it was all fantastic. The staff brought our kids a paper with a scavenger hunt on it. It was not easy, even for an adult, but my kids loved it and it gave them something to do. I found myself looking around for the stuff just as much as my kids. The owner ended up helping us find a couple of the items and he was super friendly and talked to us for a bit. I would definitely go back!“
“It is awesome!!! I Recommend the cookies! We should go there again soon. (My 9 year old says) The monthly burgers and specials are always a creative surprise. The Vegasian Persuasion is my current favorite, but the Oh My Cod is my first love.“
“We actually found this by looking for high rate Asian close to OTR. How did we not know about this place. Opened about a year ago from the neighbors next door (Lalo), this place is a hidden gem.We ordered the skewers (one each) of the chicken, the chino tacos, the tornado potatoes and the banh mi with cucumber salad. Very plate was delicious. Something we really appreciated were the sauces.My family has been to Vietnam multiple times and that’s something we loved when we were there. This place was a nice fusion with an emphasis on Vietnamese food.Delicious and we will be back for the Pho!“
“Not much to say. Just burger perfection. Nothing fancy about any of it. Its a dive in the best sense of the word. Just meat, cheese, soft bun, onion and pickle (I add little ketchup and mustard on bottom). Thats it!!! Nothing else needed. I will make the 40 min drive again for sure.“
“Came with a group for lunch. Everything was good. The only complaint from the group was the Swamp Mud drink, apparently it tasted like a black licorice liquor was mixed in for the coloring effect. But the other drinks were on point. The pasta dish was excellent. We will definitely be back.“
“The place is like a novel that is about to happen. It's like America in the 1950s all over again. Once you become a regular -- it doesn't take long -- they are happy to see you. They will call you by your first name. There are a lot of working people who come in there for lunch and middle management types with ties and shirts with rolled-up sleeves. They come there because the food is great and the servers are amazing. The servers draw happy pictures on your check saying thank you. You can watch them cook; it's a diner. I usually get a Greek Salad but the hamburgers and fries are great. So are the Gyros with the Tzatziki. Coffee is bottomless and you have to tell them to stop! The food is great and the service is great. It's like family.They are busiest from around 11:30 to about 1:30 PM. They close at 4 PM. They only open on weekdays. They take credit cards.Vegetarian options: Not vegan but you can get salad and sometimes vegetarian soup. It is Mediterranean so you should be able to work something out. Ask the staff what they would recommend.“

“Had a wonderful tasting. The space was busy not over crowded. Dinner was a delight! Food delicious, wait staff professional and wine, as always, superb. Alison, as I've encountered on previous visits, truly cares and made a point, upon seeing me tonight, to ensure all was well.“
“It had been awhile since I have been here and I'm not sure why??The atmosphere is great. Very comfortable. The food is fantastic. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I want to try everything on the menu, but if I went back tomorrow I would order the same thing I ordered last night, the shrimp etoufee. It was delicious!Our waitress was spot on. She described the menu perfectly and offered great suggestions. Service was great! The service made the night. Her name was Danielle or Dana(I was not paying clise attention when she first came up).I'll be back soon! Great place!“
“Lunch with my Sis at her recommendation. It was busy and VERY noisy. There were two groups in the outside area that were overpowering the toom with thier kids and yelling. Very rude. The restaurant wast great with a mice view of the city from the west. Lunch and service was excellent.“
“My family came for Easter brunch today and it was amazing. My girlfriend and I had not been before, and we were impressed quickly. The crab cakes are the best I have had, and the lemon-grilled shrimp was delicious. The crab & cheddar quiche was very good as well as the shrimp cocktail. My girlfriend enjoyed the mimosa, too. Our waiter, Max, was fantastic.“
“Had an absolutely wonderful experience!! My fiancé loves trains so I saw this experience on tiktok and thought this might be a great valentine’s day present and my goodness what’s I right!! This was a whole beautiful experience from the second you park your car! We were in the silver sword car and the waiters were fantastic. Brett was so fun as well he came up to our table and had us all laughing multiple times and answered all our questions, he was a joy. The food was fantastic, the sights especially when you get closer to the river was beautiful, the entertainment was phenomenal, overall we had such a wonderful experience. (And did I mention you get to toot the horn on the train??) We would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to try something new and fun!! ?“
“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Seated right away. Server was friendly and professional. Manager was engaged and helpful with egg allergy questions via email beforehand. Hot beer cheese, house truffle chips, Krueger's burger without special sauce or dijonnaise (egg allergy), and Rocky Marciano were all excellent. Rare delicious brioche bun with no eggs! Overall great experience and highly recommended. We'll be back!Dietary restrictions: Egg allergy - no eggs in the brioche bun, beer cheese, pretzels, or house truffle chips“
“This place is awesome! The food is top notch and high quality. You definitely get what you pay for!The decor was really beautiful and we loved all the plants.We got the mussels and gnocchi which were phenomenal. The beer was perfect and food delicious!“
“Love sleepy bee! We come every time we visit from Florida! This was our first time at this location and our server Nadia was absolutely awesome! She was super sweet and helpful and we wanted for nothing the entire time! We loved the BLT and Bumblebee parfait bowl! Every ingredient here is locally sourced and you can definitely taste it! Don’t get me started on the coffee! This place has the best chai I have EVER tasted!“
“Was sooo hungry and delicious that I ate it before I could take a pic. The burger is amazing with tots!Parking: When you turn into the lot before the restaurant if you go all the way to the left, there are signed parking spots for the restaurant that is FREE“
“I came here for a dinner in their private room (40ish guests), so I'm sure that made for a little different experience than a regular diner, but the service was very good. We ordered three courses from a subset of their food menu and had the full drink menu available. For me: the salad was salad. The salmon was crispy and well-seasoned; the accompaniments on the plate and sauce were decent, but the salmon was definitely the star. The carrot cake was moist, not overwhelmingly sweet, and good enough to eat again. I left satisfied and would be willing to come back for a meal in the regular dining room sometime.“
“The look of the eating area was very nice. It was very loud though. We got food from 3 different places and prices were not to where we could do this regularly. It's not that prices per meal were too high but we had to purchase 3 different meals to get enough food for 2 people. Service was good at each place and I liked the text system when the order was ready.“
“This is the modern-day version of a mall food court but is so much nicer! There are many different styles of food to choose from so there will be something for everyone. The seating area is spacious and clean. They also have water stations with free water so you don't have to wait in any lines for a drink. There was live music the Saturday night we were there.“
“We love Melt!! The Rachel with a side of slaw is our favorite. Also love the revival bowl, verde chicken flatbread, & nachos. Swapping their homemade vegan cheese on any of these items is delicious. Ooh, and the Carmelita is one of their must-try treats!Dietary restrictions: Lots of great vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, & gluten free options.“
“This is a mostly open-air bar\restaurant. Lots of garage doors and fans to keep you cool. Peanuts and popcorn are free for your table. The Chicken sandwich was great. We also had the quarter chicken, sweet potatoes, and the Mac and cheese. All of it was good. Service was fast and friendly.“
“Breakfast was great. Fast. Being handicapped with crutches..server went above and beyond by opening all doors for me when I arrived and departed. He was great..we tipped way beyond expected hoping some of that tip goes to him..will returnParking: Parking is terrible..management company that owns property dies little for handicapped parking .accessible in front of first watch. Jimmy John's gets preferential parking with 5 dedicated spots.Wheelchair accessibility: Hard to navigate handicapped walking into restaurants“
“O'Bryons is the epitome neighborhood bar and restaurant in Newport. Service is courteous, friendly and timely. The bartender is very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Food is above average while being prepared well and fresh. The chicken wrap and chicken wings were tasty. Prices are reasonable for the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge with it all being street parking. Overall a good experience and worth trying out.“
“A great place for a healthy lunch. I think they do catering as well. The actual restaurant is small and well lit by the afternoon sun. It's kind of tucked away in the back of Techwood Circle. I found Apple Spice Junction because it's near my company office, but sometimes I stop there if I'm in the general area. I recommend the Southwest Chicken wrap and pasta. Unfortunately, they are only open for lunch.“
“As you step inside, you're greeted by the cozy yet trendy ambiance, complete with exposed brick walls and rustic décor. The menu boasts a tantalizing array of Southern-inspired dishes, with their signature fried chicken stealing the show. Each crispy, golden piece is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, paired perfectly with their house-made sides like creamy mac and cheese or tangy coleslaw.“
“I had a wonderful experience. Our waiter Bobby was outstanding and chef Josh's food was to die for. We even got the best cake for dessert. All in all, beautiful place, great service and wonderful food. Absolutly worth the 45 min drive for our anniversary dinner.“
“I met a friend at Meritage for lunch. We had not see each other for a while so we were looking forward to catching up and at the same time enjoy a great lunch. The food was great. I appreciate that there are options for a "lighter" lunch. The only problem was the noise level. The table next to us seemed to think we wanted to share in their conversation. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem. Last year I met a group of friends for dinner at Meritage and there were a group of men who were loud. But I have to say because of the food and serve I would recommend Meritage to friends and also go again.“
“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“
“Coaches corner is the best place. It's so much fun & the food is delicious!! The service is EXCELLENT!! You won't find a better local hangout! Casey behind the bar is a real treasure, she makes you want to come back everyday! Truly there is nothing better, it's Newport finest hidden gem if you haven't been before!“
“Let me being by saying that this was the second time in my life that my wife and I have had a meal so good that we bought drinks for the entire restaurant staff.We went last night and this meal was the best we've ever had in Cincinnati. We began with the oysters and the bone marrow. If you've never had bone marrow like we hadn't, get it. I'm telling you that it's sublime. That was followed with the seasonal spring salad. I know this is a steakhouse and they do their steak as well as anyone, but I've never had a salad that good. It was the single best bite of the meal!After the salads, they brought out our 4oz petit filets, fingerling potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms and onions. We prefer to have small steaks and let it be an element of the meal rather than the meal itself and I'm so glad we did! The entire meal was delicious and I'd hate to have ordered a larger steak and missed out on the opportunity to try some of their other menu items.Finally, we wrapped up the meal with a creme brulee for each of us (they had two types so we got one of each and shared). Creme brulee is my favorite dessert and The Lonely Pine didn't disappoint!I can't wait to go back. I've been talking to folks at work about it all morning and several of them are excited to try the place as well.GO. Enjoy your night out. You won't be disappointed in taking my recommendation.Parking: We had no trouble finding street parking within 30 feet of the restaurant. They also have a free parking lot directly across the street.“
“The food tasted great and our server, Markey, did a terrific job. We were seated in the side room, and a large, noisy group was seated next to us. The room is all hard services, so the acoustics are bad. My guest and I sometimes could not hear each other.“
“Absolutely fantastic food at this veteran owned business!! All of the meats were moist and flavorful(Ribs were insane)! every single side I tried was absolutely amazing from the beans to the Mac and cheese, he makes everything from scratch down to the sauce, and you can tell with each bite! Definitely found my new spot for my barbecue fix!! if you have a few min to spare I would highly suggest going and giving this place a visit, you won’t be disappointed.“
