“A group of 15 had lunch today at The Neighbors. The food was delicious. Very good service. Server was very busy, but made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!“

“It's the absolute best!!“

“If you guys haven't stopped in lately please revisit. they are under new ownership and is and the owner MJ cooks great food. Try the grilled menu or fish! way better than fried. They are doing a lot to make the place nice inside and outside. They haven't changed the sign but it is not the same place. Clean food honestly cooked.“

“Fantastic lunch menu and wonderful server (Amy).“

“Celebrated my birthday with Gluten Free Donut Holes🙌🙌 So good! The staff was so friendly, the food is always delicious!“

“We had the stuffed salmon and the sirloin, both were absolutely divine. The staff was wonderful, kind and great to chat. Even the dishes were pretty. We will be back for sure“

“Best food experience I have ever had. BBQ brisket burger was the best burger I have ever had.

Service was top tier for a restaurant of this nature.

Prices worth every penny

Had to still wait on a table unfortunately even with reservations.“

“I ate at Northstar Cafe in Liberty Township, OH, on a Saturday evening around 9:00 PM. The cashier who took my order was very patient and helpful. I asked several questions about the food since I hadn’t previously eaten at this quick-serve restaurant but she never showed the least exasperation with me.

The music was a little loud. Too loud to carry on a private conversation, but perhaps an acceptable volume for large parties. The interior decoration was pleasant and modern.

I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. My burger was exactly as I ordered it and the French fries were hot and crisp.

I enjoyed my food, the service and (mostly) the ambiance of this Northstar Cafe. If I lived in the area, I would definitely eat there again.“

“Loved our server and the biscuits are like they use to be. What I didn't love, when I went to pay, they told me the buy one get one Old Timer's offer expired, even though it had no date on it. Not sure we'll be returning anytime soon.“

“Took my nephew there. I haven't been there in years. I hate to said it , but it was as good the first time 20 + years ago as it was tonight. Everyone had fun and a great meal. I would recommend this place to anyone. Good service and great owners. They really try to make you feel at home.“

“My favorite Restaurant. I go as often as I can even though it is a 51 mile drive one way“

“Mockingbird's catered our event at the Windamere in September of 2023. Their food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and generous portions. The staff and their service were so good. We intend to use them again this year. You should too!!!!“

“Our favorite Friday night spot! We visit weekly and I am finally taking time to come here and write a review. Hands down the best service, food and atmosphere! I love their menu, there are plenty of options for every one. We’ve had them accommodate large groups for us and again provide top notch service. We always request our favorite server, Dion and she never disappoints! She is friendly and so attentive to us. We appreciate her! We appreciate a close place to enjoy a great meal and spend time with friends and family! ❤️“

“This was a very nice place to have lunch at. The chicken tenders were delicious and my folks liked their burgers. But I was disappointed in the Andes avalanche custard. They didn’t have any of the mint candy for it. They did offer an alternative but I wasn’t that interested in it.“

“Some friends and I who had not seen each other in many years met up at Cooper’s Hawk last night for dinner. We were treated so well in every aspect! They let us catch up for hours and our server answered our many questions about the menu and wine with patience and knowledge. Our food was delicious and the wine pairings were excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially our wonderful server, we had a wonderful evening!“

“Cleveland Brown's fans this is your hang out spot in Cincy. Ok beyond that, the food was very good, the selection was huge. Fast service and clean place. There is still outdoor seating to enjoy. We drove an hour to try it and brought the parents. No one was disappointed. Well except the Browns' fans. That was a tough lose to Detriot. But they had good food and cold drinks too console themselves with until next week. Highly recommended 👌“

“This location is the cleanest skyline I’ve ever been to. The employees are so friendly and accommodating. Great place !!“

“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!“

“The best service ever!
Sebastián was hands down the best server we’ve ever had, super friendly, attentive, and made our visit unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious! My partner ordered a burger and it was incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked. I got the Taco Alderman bowl, flavorful and fresh, every bite was amazing. The dessert was spectacular and the margaritas… next level!

And a huge shout-out to Felipe, the manager, who was absolutely wonderful, so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Wonderful experience. The service was top flight!!“

“We go to Bourbon's all the time. For the last 2 years it has been our go to dinner location when we want to eat out. Everything is delicious our favorites are the grippos and truffle Gouda burger with a worthy mention of their chicken tenders, but we haven't had anything that was bad. They also have amazing cocktails! We held our wedding rehearsal dinner here and they decorated the other side of the restaurant and had personalized menus. This is an amazing restaurant with amazing and caring staff! We've never had a bad experience! Bonus: their leftovers are just as good heated up in the air fryer!“

“It's a karaoke bar, with a lovely Dj,but a very small dance floor. It took a couple of minutes before we could get our drink order through. There were just 2 bartenders, and they were quite busy. We requested food but was told it wasn't available. It could have been the timing, or they were just short of staff I really can't tell. My friends and I had a good time. It was a good vibe. But if we want to go dancing, we will be going somewhere else.“

“Food and staff are excellent. Such a consistently nice experience!“

“Three of us were there Wednesday evening prior to the world famous Hamilton Turkey Drop. We were the only patrons in the restaurant & our waiter treated us very efficiently. We all ordered sandwiches,and the food was served surprisingly fast. I had the burger & fries & my friends each had the pulled pork sandwich. All 3 sandwiches were very good,but the issue with all 3 was the brioche buns that they were served on. Initially things were good,but after a few bites the buns had absorbed so much liquid that they completely fell apart and we all 3 had to eat our sandwiches with a fork. Good food, but let's use a different type of bun please“

“my husband and I first went here on a date night. we absolutely loved the atmosphere. we have returned twice since then, the last time we brought 3 friends with us and they loved it too. my favorite meal is the Baja fish tacos. I'm diabetic and these were a decent option for me. it's so fresh and light, plus the corn salsa on the side is amazing!! it's definitely a favorite date night dinner place.“

“The food and atmosphere was amazing. Will definitely be back!!!“

“Good food Great service Recommend“

“I found the Coach House online. I said why not. Trying something new! The food and the overall environment was awesome. Brandi…was 5 stars. We sat at the bar and Brandi went above and beyond! I would highly recommend. Customer for life!!“

“Great place to go for lunch with husband and friends. The ribs were excellent! My husband had the brisket and really enjoyed it, the prices were very reasonable, service was great, and thus is a great place to go and hang out. We will be going back, this beats most of the bbq places i have been to in a long while!“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and service. Our server was NyAsia and she did a great job.“

“Friday 4/18/2025, 10 pm. A last minute decision to get a quick, late night bite to eat. The Greek Flatbread was delicious! The crust was perfect! And Shannon was, by far, a fantastic hostess! She knows the menu items and is efficient. She's very friendly, down to earth, and a great conversationalist! I highly recommend this place. Stop in soon to help the servers with their contest! When you mention your favorite server's name in a review, they might win. That means their GM, Rachelle Lee, will work their shift, plus the winning server gets to keep the money! 🙂“

“Best place to eat! Their fresh fries are so good!! Sometimes my husband goes just to get us fries. You’re missing out on some great food if you’ve never eaten here. What are you waiting for?? Get in your car and head to Culver’s!!“

“Grecian Delight is a hidden gem in Middletown! Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or dinner, the food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Greek fries are a must-try—crispy, seasoned perfectly, and topped with just the right amount of feta. And don’t leave without trying the baklava—sweet, flaky, and the perfect way to end your meal. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like a warm, home-cooked experience. Highly recommend!“

“I have to say thank you Todd for your time, it was pleasant to speak to you. I look forward to frequently visits and enjoying some wonderful food I hear so much about. do you have motorcycle parking ? thank you take care Matt Reed.“

“Great food! Smoked salmon Benedict was amazing, and my mother had the special - corned beef hash, which was also great. Brussels cooked perfectly. My mom’s drink was strong but we walked out laughing.
Justin was an amazing server! I think he does stand up comedy on the side bc he made the whole dinning experience fun. For example, we said split the check, and he brought two tickets, a decoy and then one he tore in half- super fun! Will be back!“

“Blueberry 🫐 Pancakes 🥞 were Delicious 😋“

“I had the opportunity to try Turkeys R us and really enjoyed the food. The mac and cheese, greens and smoked wings were delicious. The services was great and the staff was very friendly. I would recommend my friends and family try Turkeys R us. Amazing food and the prices are practical.“

“We go to Hamilton every year for guys golf trip. We go to Casual Pint everytime. Place offers everything, great selection of beers and food. Atmosphere is always relaxed. Ann Marie the owner is awesome, very engaging with customers making sure a good time is had. Staff is great. Highly recommend this as a stop if in area.“

“Always amazing food and great service. The wait is always so worth it! Great Bloody Mary!“

“Every time we come to Middletown, The Broken Barrel is THE place to go. The food is always delicious... the service is top notch while also being fun and friendly!“

“Great service and food same.Cook and waitress know what they're doing.Will return soon!“

“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.“

“Longhorns has always been one of our favorites. The service is great atmosphere consistently that of a steakhouse! Either lunch or dinner is a nice and relaxed steakhouse atmosphere. The service is great and the food is awesome as well. Especially steaks. Only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because if one wishes their steak cooked a certain way say medium rare, you need to ask for it specifically. On occasion the cooks will either undercook or overcook the steak however most of the time they get it right. I'm not one to complain but I've seen other people complain and the steakhouse will either provide a new meal or cook a steak more. Other than that we love our longhorn steakhouse.“

“Great place to eat, friendly an Michelle is the best 💕“

“super chill bar with security. good food fast drinks. all around great people. trouble makers will be tossed as you can see in angry people complaining about getting kicked out.“

“I would have to say that there is a worker there named Krista who had made my order this morning and when I say it was the absolutely best sausage egg cheese melt I had ever had made that is an underestimate It was absolutely fantastic that is the taste of dedication and passion to the craft!!🙌“

“It's way better than the one in Fairfield I always have problems with the one in Fairfield and have to take my food back but this location is worth driving past the other one no complaints from the one in Hamilton but the Fairfield one is hit and miss“

“Plenty of Miller Lite to drink“

“Shout out to Emerson for making my birthday dinner so much fun at Texas Roadhouse in Hamilton!!! She was amazing handling a group of 10 with ease!!! It was a great celebration with good food & drinks, outstanding service and all the love from family and friends!!“
