Burger Restaurants near Reading

“White Castle is special. I appreciate having this chain in my city because I know they're not everywhere, and I know people crave the sliders or are very curious about them if they've never tried them before.

This location in Reading does such a great job of making flavorful food served fast and with a smile. My fave White Castle in Cincinnati!! Cheers to the hard-working staff here who fill bellies and make people happy all day long ❤️“

“I stopped in, honestly, just to use the restroom. It was occupied. The fella that came out didn't look embarrassed, but he should have. There was piss all over the toilet seat, and the toilet was so full I didn't dare try to flush it. I went out and asked a crew member, and she was fantastic! Her name was Nora, and she and Scotty got right on it and took care of business. They were so friendly. I wish they worked at my local McDonald's! I also spoke with Patti, the manager, who was also great. I did buy food, because I don't like just going in for the bathroom, no matter a restaurant or a gas station... I'll buy something. After I got my food, there were a could of apple pies that I didn't order! Again, such nice people!“

“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.“

“If I could give them even more stars, I would!! The owner, Mike himself, took care of us while we were there and he was amazing! So kind and kept us smiling during our entire meal! He was so sweet with my 18 month old daughter, even giving her some suckers and a gift certificate for next time. Not only was the service top notch, but the food was to die for! We got specialty burgers and my daughter got chicken tenders, all of which were made fresh and perfectly cooked/seasoned! I can’t recommend this place enough. Already can’t wait to visit again!!“

“What one of our team members says: "Milkman in OTR is the go-to spot for the best smash burgers in Cincinnati, and it's so much more than a burger joint! They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"“

“Excellent service!!! Excellent burgers. I enjoyed and recommend the Anne Oakley. My husband had the Weezie burger with jalapeños hot enough to make him sweat. Family friendly and worth the trip. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“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!!“

“One of the best restaurants around! With so many options I am never disappointed. The staff is something you don’t see around anymore, they make you feel like family. I highly recommend Blue Ash Chili.“

“Nothing but a good vibes every time I come! the waiters and waitresses are super friendly, amazing burgers and milkshakes and cheap for the amount of food you get! and they're always playing the best music!“

“Great burger. 10/10. Friendly service.
Ordered the zips double burger with cheese and bacon.
Tasted like a classic American cheeseburger with 2 full length bacon strips.
You are going to need to take big boy bites if you order the double.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Stopped by at The Turf Club after a coworker recommended I check it out while in town. I had the filet mignon burger and duck fat fries. One of the best burgers I've ever had! You can tell they use high quality ingredients. Loved the atmosphere along with the owner and staff. Definitely worth visiting and I will be back again the next chance I get!“

“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!!!“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“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.“

“Love BRU Burger! We used to often go to the one downtown ahead of going to Aronoff shows... having the one in Montgomery lets us enjoy them even more often! Great burgers, healthy salad options, relaxed atmosphere, great service. I personally really enjoyed the siracha Caesar Salad with Salmon. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers and shakes. Yum!“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

“Great burgers and brews!“

“Friendly server.Prompt service.“

“Ali and Dan are doing a great job of bringing this place back to life. We stopped in for a carryout order of wings yesterday. The wings were great as we watched our Bengals at home. The interior is really looking good. More TV's and new furniture. Keep up the good work in Madeira.“

“don't usually write reviews, but this one? This one's from the heart.

Tucked into the corner of a hot summer day was a moment of pure magic — and it came in the form of a double scoop and a man whose kindness could melt even the coldest sundae.

The ice cream? Divine. Creamy as a cloud, rich with flavor, and clearly made with love. Whether it was the velvety swirl of salted caramel, the bold bite of espresso chip, or the sweet, nostalgic hug of birthday cake crunch — each spoonful felt like a tiny celebration in my mouth. You can taste the difference when someone actually cares, and trust me, this place? Cares big time.

But here's what really makes this place my number one go-to...

The man behind the counter.

He wasn’t just friendly — he was soulfully kind. You know the type: someone who greets you like an old friend, listens when you talk, remembers your favorite flavor even if it’s been weeks. The kind of human who makes the world feel just a little softer, a little slower, and a lot sweeter.

In a world that rushes by, he made me feel seen. Not just as a customer — but as a person. His smile was genuine, his service effortless, and his presence? A comfort I didn’t realize I needed that day.

People like him are rare — and flavors like these? Even rarer.

So if you're ever looking for a place where ice cream hits your soul and the man scooping it out feels like family… don’t walk. Run. This isn’t just a shop. It’s a sanctuary.

And to the kind-hearted legend behind the counter:
You’ll always be my number one go-to. 🍦❤️“

“We love this place! Good, home-cooked food for a great price. Food is always served fresh and hot in generous portions. This is such a hidden gem in Cincinnati!“

“The employees there were genuinely kind, positive and energetic. It was a nice little pick-me-up that I didn't even know I needed. I usually order delivery but that was such a wonderful experience picking up my food, I'll be doing that each time now. Thank you so much.“

“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.“

“Quatman’s is the home of the best Cheeseburger - The team is friendly which makes it a great place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We were seated at the bar and had great sandwiches and drinks last night (11/5/24) . Mark was the bartender who waited on us. His outstanding customer service made us feel like we had a “fine dining” experience!“

“My husband and I both agreed it was the best sandwich we’ve ever had! Super fresh and the bread was amazing! We will definitely be back“

“So good! We got the Steph's sampler, added toast and a biscuit. $30 for two with coffee. We love the echo! Stephanie and the staff are great. Everything is so clean and well run especially for how busy it is. The line was long but went fast.“

“Three very large groups arrived just minutes after the four of us. Happy for the bottom line of the restaurant, not so much if you wanted to have a four way conversation between friends who haven't seen each other in a long time. We hurriedly ordered lunch before the kitchen was swamped. Server was odd indeed.“

“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.“

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

“Always pleasant staff. Keep up the good work.“

“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.“

“I stumbled into this place with some work colleagues when we were working in the area. When we walked in the door, I had no idea what kind of food they served. The menu wasn’t particularly large, but it had some really interesting choices. I’m not a big hot dog person, but there was a broad selection of very unique hot dogs. I ended up choosing the Elote grilled cheese, and we also got some duck fries for the table to share. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the grilled cheese sandwich, but it was outstanding! The fries and dipping sauce were also really good!“

“Great food and friendly service”

Tried Freddy’s in Fairfield for the first time last weekend and was honestly impressed. I’d heard of Freddy’s before but never actually been, and now I get the hype.

I got the double steakburger combo and my friend tried the patty melt. The steakburger was super flavorful, and I really liked the crispy edges on the patty — kind of like how you’d do it on a flat top at home. Fries were super thin (like, shoestring thin), which I didn’t expect, but they were fresh and really good with their fry sauce.

Big shoutout to Kamya at the front counter — she was super friendly and patient while we looked over the menu (first-timer here!). She made a great recommendation for the custard too — I went with the vanilla and caramel and it was so good.

Service was quick, the place was clean, and the staff seemed genuinely upbeat. It’s still fast food, sure, but it felt like a step up. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area“

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

“Excellent breakfast … also had breakfast at Maplewood and Sleepy Bee this week while in town, snd Dunlap was far superior in taste as well as super friendly service“

“We stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday and loved everything about this place. Great friendly service, really cool atmosphere, and the food was delicious. The post fries are awesome, and our salads were super fresh and tasty. Strongly recommend!“

“Not sure about the food as I've been waiting well over 10 minutes for it now. Looks like someone came in and picked up a fairly large order while I was waiting, so that may be a factor, but still fairly disappointing turnover time for a burger and fries. Will update on food once it's ready...
Guess I should order ahead online if I come back.

Update: Food was good! Burger was great and fries were good as well. I personally liked that the fries were not over seasoned with salt. That ups my review to 4 stars but service could be quicker as I waited around 15 min for the food.“

“Food was fabulous! Great beer! Will definitely be back. Kudos to Chef JB 👏👏“

“I had the “ In the Beginning “ with a side of fruit. It was well cook and presented.“

“Went for ice cream this evening. We are new here and loving the drive through desserts. Cole took our order. Service was above and beyond from being served by Cole until we received our ice cream. The pupcup just top it off perfect!“

“Great Food!!! Love the Mexican Pad Thai.“

“This morning I went inside the restaurant and MS PAM made my day! She was the only employee there and made my favorite (loaded salmon and grits!!!) and it was sooooo perfect 👌🏾 I couldn’t help but to do a happy dance when I tasted my food!!!! She made sure I got it exactly to my liking and she was so welcoming and down to earth I felt like I was in there talking to one of my older aunts! I will definitely be back! 👉🏾 and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My salmon and grits with onion and peppers was OFF THE CHAIN!“
