“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!“

“absolutely the best cornbread I've ever had!!!! service was outstanding food was even better“

“Great tasting barbecue. Just ate there again! The 1.99/rib was SO GOOD! And I surprisingly fell in love with the Strawberry Cobbler! I am in trouble! I'll be back for the smoked wings or half chicken. Fast friendly service. Food was out before I even picked a seat! Highland Heights Ky. Location rocks. I ate too fast for the before picture.....yeah!“

“Absolutely fabulous experience! Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. Each dish was balanced and so favorable - we especially loved the chickpea-spinach and artichoke tapas. The mushroom side dish offers an explosion of flavor, and the desserts were wonderfully balanced and not overly sweet. Cocktail and wine choices were great, as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Oh my God they're brisket sandwich is like an orgasm for your taste buds.“

“The pulled pork and smoked turkey were the absolute best for my mom’s 95th birthday party. Thanks B and staff!“

“I hold a very high standard for bbq joints and this is on the top of my fabulous list! My family is in town to attend Kings Island Winter Fest and the Cincy Zoo Lights so my daughter happened to find this place not far from our airbnb and man am I glad she did! Soooooo good! Nice job, young lady! Hope to see you next time we’re here!“

“This place has the best Korean BBQ in the area. I only wish they had honey dew boba. That would seal the deal. But still our first pick always over others.“

“Wonder Ribs and sides. Excellent customer service.“

“I just have to say that the turkey tips messy mac is the best I have ever had. If you haven't tried it you must.“

“I was working remotely with a co-worker in Newport today and suggested Webb's for lunch. I'm already a fan, but it was the first time visiting for my Cincy colleague. We had the brisket and the smoked and breaded wings. Everything was tasty and delicious- I especially loved the collard greens today which were seasoned perfectly. The overall vibe is casual and authentic with a warm sense of community. Regulars were popping in and out raving about their Friday cravings as they placed and picked up their orders. Joe, Leslie and the team never disappoint! Friendliest and most welcoming hosts in the neighborhood. Needless to say, my co-worker is also now a fan.“

“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“

“This is such a great restaurant. It reminds me of being in Singapore.

I don’t eat out much in Cincinnati and I am so amazed by the flavor, service, and diverse array of dishes. The Curry Mee noodles are delightful and I would eat them every day if I could.

Hainanese chicken with rice is also delightful! And if you like coconuts, try the coconut rice!“

“Yummy food as always! Can never get past the lamb gyros. And the baklava….“

“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“

“Best steak burgers IN THE WORLD!!!💪“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“Very good BBQ conveniently located in the food court above the downtown Kroger. Food served fast and reasonably priced.

I ordered and enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich with Carolina Gold sauce. You can add a side and a drink for a few dollars more.“

“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!!“

“I had such a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is very comfortable, especially with those bright red booths that make for a relaxing place to sit.

I really enjoyed being able to customize my own meal at the fresh food station. There was a great variety of ingredients like green onions and fresh noodles to choose from. Everything looked clean and well-prepared. My final bowl was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I will definitely be back soon.“

“Amazing comfort food. So glad she insisted we get sides. Everything was delicious, and reminded me of the food my great grandma used to make. Especially the beans, both green and baked were perfect. The bbq was good too! lol Really great food all around“

“This place is amazing! great food and generous drinks at crazy cheap prices. Live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We were visiting from the Cleveland Ohio area and found this place totally by accident. We felt like family 5 minutes after we walked in the door. Very friendly and helpful staff, and out of this world kitchen and a diverse menu. It will be your new favorite secret spot.“

“fantastic place great food“

“Heard about this place on Tiktok. Really loved the vibes! Hoping to drop by if I'm ever in the area.“

“Went here with a few friends and had an awesome time. The staff treated us like royalty and the owner recognized one person in our group as one of their regulars. The wings were outstanding and you can order them per wing instead of it being a fixed amount, which is always my preference. This was my fist time there and I would recommend it to anyone. It's a great location, the inside is really cool with the exposed barrels displayed, and it was very clean. Plenty of TVs inside the bar area too. Our group will be going back again soon.“

“Spicy chicken: Good, the ? is 3 out of 5 to me. You can see the red spice. Spicy party wings are great. Regular chicken: A bit too salty. Fish: Good. Fried okra: Delicious ! Wedges: So good ! Red beans & rice: Delicious & vegan. Corn bread: Deliciously buttery & soft. Yams: Good & sweet. Mac & Cheese: Needs richer cheese. Taste ok with yams. Greens: Taste ok with mac & ch.

“Hands down best experience I have ever had a Texas Roadhouse or any other restaurant! Jerry is hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He went above and beyond to make sure we never had a half empty glass, rolls were always on the table. Food was 10/10! Best Texas Roadhouse in the country! Highly recommended Jerry!“

“We always love going to TRH for a family or friend’s night out. Servers are always super nice and friendly. Place is always packed but they always get us in fast as long as we add ourselves to the online wait list. 0-20 mins. Thanks guys!“

“Menu is small, but all food is great. My new go to spot“

“Longhorn is one of the best steakhouse for your money.
All of the selections are vary good.
The service is excellent.
The atmosphere is warm.
The overall experience will be well worth your stop out.
Drinks and cocktails are available to relax and socialize if you want to engage in some drinking. It's a great time to bring all your family to eat and hang out. Or bring all your friends have some drinks, good times and have some awesome food.“

“This place cares about their customers and goes above and beyond. I cannot say enough about this location. My family comes here often (1-2 times a month) and tonight they blew us away with kindness. We came in at 10 thinking they closed at 11 to place a to go order for my husband. He just finished a HARD move between our old and new house. My husband was running on 4 hrs of sleep after working 3-11:30 and then getting up to pack and then go back to work again. His only requests were to feed him when he got home + have swim trunks ready for the hot tub. But it was a Wednesday night……. And they closed at 10… not 11. The team said, we’ve got you and was so kind to make our food (when they didn’t have to at all). The food was delicious (as always) and they made this day special for my husband and our family.

THANK YOU Colerain crew! Shouting out a few of our favorites Dre, Nico, Tamara, and Lil…. Keep being FABULOUS humans ❤ We will see you soon 🎉“

“The service was good. Our waitress was friendly, professional and patient. The food was good except for one of my fellow guests mentioning one of their dish items could've been warmer. The interior scene was nice with the framed autographed jerseys, picture and other sport memorabilia. Was very cold due to the a/c blastin. Overall, I was genuinely satisfied and would considering going back again.“

“I remember trying this place when I first moved to Cincinnati because it’s conveniently right around the corner and wanted to try it based on all the good reviews, I remember disliking half of my meal but liking the other half , I remember the macaroni and cheese being pretty good and the cornbread being the best I’ve ever had fast forward to today and still kind of mixed reviews because once again I liked some parts and disliked other parts , the macaroni this time wasn’t that great it was very oily ? Potato salad was good and the hot dog was good , the Jamaican beef patty was tough asf , cornbread was decent , I’ll probably try again as I always give places a three strikes and your out type of thing not gonna say it’s great but it’s good I think I just need to keep trying different things from them til I get a niche for something I like“

“Absolutely one of my favorite places to enjoy a night out. Laid back fun atmosphere with Live Music and seating. Huge patio area with giant Jenga, Cornhole and Connect Four. The firepit seating is large!! Outdoor bar and tons of picnic table. Inside vibes are immaculate with tons of seating, classic arcade games and billiards!! Food Menu just got a massive upgrade and it’s a must try! My favorite was the burnt ends brisket and mac-n-cheese.“

“oxtails were delicious. Mac n cheese and greens could be better.“
