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!“

“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!!“

“LOVE the burger fries and tots.“

“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!"“

“The BEST veggie burger i have ever had in my entire life. I’m an outsider and am here in Cinci visiting family. I was a little weary coming to a beef joint as I can’t eat red meat due to chemotherapy. (Ironic, I know). The owners went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure that they were able to segregate my burger from the red meat and clean the grill to the best of their ability. I did not have a reaction other than “when can I come back!”. The house made ranch and ketchup were so tasty, I’d almost be willing to sneak it on the plane to come home with me. I 10/10 recommend this place.“

“We eat at Blue Ash Chili frequently. I always order something different off the wide menu and have never had a meal that wasn’t delicious! Friendly servers and fast service. They are so kind to my messy grandchildren! Sit at the bar and watch the cooks create the plates! Today was our anniversary and we treated ourselves to a massive peanut butter milk shake! Oh yeah they know we’ll be back!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best burger you can get. This place is a historic gem and an icon of Cincinnati“

“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.“

“Amazing food and friendly service!! Love the Pearl Jam and Mac miller!“

“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!“

“I typically eat here every Thursday morning.
I get the corned beef hash, octoberfeat or the lumberjack.
Alway delicious.
Atmosphere is always lively & servers are incredibly efficient.
Hands down my favorite local diner.“

“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 server.Prompt service.“

“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!“

“Friendly service, food was great despite some pesky flies and cobwebs in the decorations. Kids loved the mini burgers cookies, music was not loud like other places, so it was a pleasure to enjoy a family conversation while eating good food, definitely this time it will not take couple of years to comeback.“

“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“

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

“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 love Ali’s!! The food is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and fun for all ages. And the staff is amazing!! What’s not to love there? Ali is a staple of our community and she puts everything she has info her business and her customers. That’s the best part.“

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

“Friendly staff and very helpful since it was my first time eating there. Food was very good. Loved the fries!“

“Gordo's is the kind of timeless place that makes visitors feel comfortable without making a big deal about it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very good at their jobs; they seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and it shows.

The food is absolutely delicious and served in daunting portions. The burgers are the jaw-unhinging size (and shape) of baseballs, cooked beautifully and doctored up in amazing ways. Six out of seven of us chose different styles, and none of us were disappointed; I had Boursin and poblano, and I still regret that I couldn't finish that last bite. The lone holdout, my mother, ordered a chef's salad and raved about it, saying that it was the first she'd ever had that she honestly couldn't finish. My dad and I will testify that she did her best.

The only dessert listed at Gordo's is the Dessert of the Day. I asked our waitress whether it actually existed, or if they (rightly) assumed that no one would ever have room to order it. She said that they did (it was tiramisu that day), but most people who could still think about food ordered it to go. My teenager made a reflexive plea, but they were too full to put in real effort.

If we didn't live two states away, Gordo's would already be our family's regular place, and my fridge would already be stocked with the Dessert of the Day. As it is, we'll definitely be back whenever we visit Cincinnati.“

“Great food, the burgers were all phenomenal! The atmosphere was very laid back, and not fast paced at all, we did not feel rushed to eat and leave. Service was goos but the waiter may have been too laid back, but was a really nice guy all together and did his job by getting our meals right.

Defintely recommend for the burgers. There's a parking garage attached to the strip this is in which was a nice surprise because street parking is very limited.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“When we got there we brought our dog to join us for my Father’s Day lunch and they were so helpful and nice, dog bowl of water right away and got us seated in the patio area. Took our drink order and food order and I can’t understand how that cook got everything out so quick and was so delicious. Mac and cheese bites were good, the sauce made it but the star was the 1788 burger. Hands down the best burger I think I have ever had. Juicy, hot, and fresh. The chips were even seasoned enough but if you get the chips add bbq sauce. Really enhances the flavor. Over all If you are craving an amazing burger and nice place to hang out try this place out.“

“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.“

“Craft Burger Bros is one of my favorite burger choices. The Southern Belle is the best! The bacon jam is to die for! Great food and great people!“

“Had a great dinner at deSha's on Monday, June 29, 2026. The food was great but even better than the food was our server Sofie! She was kind, friendly and very good at her job. She listened (I have dietary restrictions) and provided me with a great meal. She was awesome!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“We hosted a birthday/Baptism at Bandito’s for our children and it was perfect! Excellent food, reasonable price, fun atmosphere, easy to book! Highly recommend!!!“

“Staff is pretty friendly for the most part. Environment was clean and there was plenty of seating. Restrooms were clean. Items were stocked. Orders are freshly made so there is a bit of a wait time but it's definitely worth it. It's a bit hot inside as the kitchen area is open and doesnt have great ventilation“

“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“

“Quick trip through drive thru and it was fast and food was hot and service was great“

“Food and drinks are amazing!! The best service from our server Saige!“

“Fun exciting entertaining“

“Great atmosphere and energy. Our server, Carlos, was helpful and accommodating. Enjoyed our food choices, nice recommendations from server. Looking forward to returning and trying outside .“

“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.“

“We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was very clean. The wait staff was awesome and the food was piping hot, fresh, flavorful and delicious. The cocktail were awesome, highly recommend their Manhattan and Espresso Martini. The bacon jam appetizers was yummy! We each got a burger and the Mac and cheese side was creamy and rich!“
