Burger Restaurants near Saint Bernard

“Outdoor seating only.
Bring cash because I don’t think that they take credit cards.
Full DQ treat menu, including ice cream sandwiches and Dilly bars.
Follow the ordering process. One single line of customers. When you are first in line, advance to the first open window.

It is kind of like going to confession. There is a physical screen you talk through and a window separating you from your treat.

When it is time to pay, the window is opened and you get your treat. “When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”.

Please excuse the Catholic analogies - this Dairy Queen is directly across the street from Roger Bacon high school.

Like I said above, bring CASH because I do T think they take credit cards. I might be wrong.

There is ample parking in back of the place, and it is easy to get in and out of here.

High school kid staff were warm and friendly and made me a perfect cone.

Love this place. Drove six miles to get here.“

“I went through the drive thru and ordered fish sandwiches. I think it was the first day they started selling it for Lent. They weren’t sure if they had any. They told me they did but it would be awhile. When I got to the pay window I was offered a drink while I waited. I was told to pull to a parking spot and they would bring it out which they did in less than 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised about the customer service. I stopped going there because of their lousy service. The last time there I had to leave before I got my food because my lunch hour was over and needed time to get back. I will now be a customer again and I didn’t get the name of the lady that brought my food to the parking lot but she has made the whole fast food experience enjoyable again!! Thanks again!!!“

“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!"“

“Fantastic food and service. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩“

“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.“

“I went to Herb and Thelma’s for the first time. It did not disappoint. Very tasty, juicy burgers. Delicious sauerkraut. Manhattan to rival any other Manhattan from an upscale bar. Everyone is friendly. Such a fun atmosphere. Be prepared to be surprised by the food and friendly atmosphere. Cash only.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and timely service. The atmosphere is priceless.“

“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.“

“Great food and service staff was awesome!! 🍔“

“service is great, food outstanding. people were letting their children run around in the enclosed patio and jump on the furniture beside us; someone on the other side of the wall talked on their speaker phone for our entire meal. i yhink the wait staff should intervene. our food cost just yhe same as others who were disturbing my meal. if i can order an old fashioned and a beer, yhe i shouldn't have to eat around these kinds of disturbances.“

“Good hamburgers & fries , ice cold pop“

“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!“

“Friendly server.Prompt service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great burgers and brews!“

“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.“

“So much more than Chili, great diner food and desserts as well! Always great service and fresh food at the Springdale, OH location!“

“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.“

“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.“

“great food, we were pleasantly surprised“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“I visit other Frisch's and have never had a bad experience, but this Frisch's at 20 Kyle's Lane, Covington, KY location is 5-Stars Tops!!! Haley who works the Drive-thru Window Service and her Teammate Co-workers do an Outstanding Job. The Cook-Staff Team does a Remarkable Job on everything they cook/grill up, never has there ever been any food item that was not worthy of 5-Stars. A few friends who visit this Frisch's location have commented how glad they are that this Restaurant is in their neighborhood, they always have great experiences when visiting. Keep Up the Great 5-Stars Service!!!“

“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!!! ❤️.“

“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“

“Our Mom's choice for her 88th Birthday was Ron's Roost. 🥳 Char was hands down the best waitress I've had this year anywhere - personable, professional, & polite! 😊 I only wish I had room for pie.“

“delicious food and great service thanks a lot guys“

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

“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!“

“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“

“COA would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for Topped Fries Food Truck exceptional service today. Their prompt and thorough responses to all of my inquiries were invaluable and truly made a difference. The delicious food options they provided was outstanding, receiving nothing but rave reviews from our staff. We look forward to having you back again.“

“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!“

“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!“
