50 Best Burger Restaurants in Cincinnati

“Love this place! I cannot say enough good things about Senate. The overall restaurant is always clean and tidy. The vibe is great - not too noisy, but still a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the menu always has something new and exciting on it. But the customer service is what really sets Senate apart from the rest! They truly go above and beyond to provide a great dining experience! The servers are always attentive, happy to make suggestions, and just so kind. We go every few months and are often served by the kindest woman who now knows us by name and remembers what we like/our previous conversations with her. Management will go out of their way to ensure that each customer has a great experience, and it’s so appreciated! 10/10, our favorite restaurant!“

“My family and I recently visited Sugar & Spice at the Summit Park location. Best pancakes ever! Everything we ordered was delicious! Service was excellent! If you go, ask for Chan. She’s amazing!! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Butterbee's on Beechmont Avenue is great. i've been coming to the restaurant for several years. I've had many items on the menu and never been disappointed. the wait staff and greeters are so friendly and spot on for service and are so upbeat and the ambiance is comfortable. It can be a little loud at peak times and during popular game times but it is all in a spirit of fun and celebration. It's why we always suggest meeting others there for a meal. I used the online ordering for pick up and everything went smoothly. Since it was my first time it took a little longer to sign up and had to allow a little more time for pickup. But they were right on schedule. Out wasn't a peak eating time though. I highly recommend Butterbee's.“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“If you are a diner person, this WWII-era establishment is a great breakfast spot. The hot chocolate is out of this world, and the usual diner standbys are all on the menu.This is a Hyde Park institution, with regular customers. This morning when I was there, the waitress got a gift from a regular customer— an outfit for the baby the server is expecting. It’s that kind of neighborhood place, which warms my heart.“

“The waitress Kelly was very friendly and caring. The meal was very delicious. The cashier was very caring and friendly also. I'll definitely return.“

“Amazing burger. Fries were room temp when we got them. It took a while for a waiter to get to us, but once we told him we were on a tight schedule he did an excellent job getting us our food and check quickly. We look forward to trying this restaurant again.“

“Great food at a reasonable price! Excellent service and friendly folks….love everything about this place.“

“The burger and fries were some of the best I've had on the Ohio side of Greater Cincinnati“

“The veggie burger (falafel) and Brussel sprouts are literally amazing and I will dream about them!“

“Natasha sent me. great fries, fab food and fantastic friendly service. sending love from Birmingham, UK.“

“Fun place, great food, friendly staff.“

“Excellent food, relaxing atmosphere, friendly service“

“I came here tonight for a friend's rehearsal dinner. We had a private room in the back which was very nice. We had charcuterie, fruit, crackers, and cheese to start. Entrees were served buffet style, and included salad, pot roast, and fried chicken, as well as Gouda pasta. I don't usually like pot roast but I liked these, and the fried chicken was really crunchy too. Dessert was delicious - some sort of cookie pie but shaped like a muffin, topped with ice cream. I also had a glass of Moscato, which was also tasty. We had our own waitstaff as well, which was also nice.“

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

“Drove an hour down there, it was a Saturday evening. It wasn't too busy. Walking in right away you are taken back in time, swinging doors, an atmosphere like a cozy old home from the 19th century. We ordered some drinks I did head back through the bar to get to the restroom, little tight but adequate I suspect for the size of the venue. We both had the staple Zip's Burger. I really liked everything about the place, the food was great. Waitress was very attentive. Really well done. I think it lives up to the hype. I really appreciate simple places like this in today's day an age. You get to walk out modernity for a minute and remember life wasn't always on a cell phone. Anyways Thank You Zip's.“

“Only been here a handful of times but food and Service are always great. I love the burgers and try a different one each time. Today I had the one with Jalapenos and ghost pepper cheese. It was mind blowing. All of those flavors and heat level were incredible. You can tell it's fresh beef and great value for your money. Thank you. We will be back.“

“Dine in | Dinner | $10–20 I came from Canton, walked in felt like home because of the communication skills, the friendliness felt genuine, the food was a good price and they not stingy with the sides. If you live her and haven't been here to eat come support our black businesses i will be back and hope all my friends from Canton that visit Cincinnati stop here and eat. Food: 5/5 | Service: Vanessa woods from Canton oh“

“I don’t have any pics to share because it was gone before I remembered. I had the steak tips and veggies (zucchini and mushrooms). Perfect dinner for this diabetic. So tasty. My children ordered Mac without the steak. They weren’t too fond of it and agreed it likely would have been better with the steak. I hope you all come back to Enon!“

“I had the hot fudge ice cream cake sundae which was delicious and bought back memories for me.“

“Best place ever to go eat“

“Vegetarian options: Mushroom burgers are available!Wheelchair accessibility: Not as wheelchair friendly as some other restaurants. Must take stairs to reach the main dining area (though on a nice day they do offer outdoor seating which would be accessible).“

“We had crab corn chowder soup and the fried cheese is a mazing with a light beer battered provolone. Must have and are made to order. And let me tell you something. I've lived in NYC, Texas and been many places and I love good food. It was the burgers that made me put them on the must try and they knocked it out of the park. Nice big and juicy burgers with great flavor. Best burger I've had in Ohio! Will definitely be back!“

“The vibe during a Bengals game was crazy. Seemed a bit under staffed for it though - had some minor trouble getting service. Great TV angles and we liked our food. Pizza is pretty standard though so I'd go for burgers or other menu items instead.“

“The variety of sports teams' decor throughout the establishment was nice, too.“

“042024 - I haven't been here in 8 years. I got the 9 oz prime rib. It tasted exactly like what you would think prime rib from a chicken restaurant would taste like. It wasn't bad tasting, but it wasn't good tasting either. I will not get it again.“

“fish and chips were excellent“

“Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“The food was overly expensive for no reason but good burgers for sure“

“A great addition to Northside! The burger, fries & drink for $12 was terrific. Hands down, star of the show. The meatloaf sandwich special was really good. I wish the meatloaf would have been a bit thicker and cheesier or had more sauce. But still, it was really solid. But we'll definitely be back for the burger. The fries were also perfect. And you got a bunch of them. You can never have too many fries.“

“Good food. Laid back atmosphere!“

“Ate there today and was really impressed with the quality of food and the terrific waitress. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Fantastic temperance cheeseburger and excellent fries.“

“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.“

“Good place to have a good time .“

“Food was excellent, well above average "pub food." I had the lobster roll, excellent taste. The cracklin' cabbage was also fresh, crisp and tasty. We were seated outside on the upper patio, there is a lower area where a few people had dogs. Fun place, service was excellent. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a casual place with great food!Parking: There are a couple of small lots near the restaurant. Might be tight if you are driving a larger SUV or truck.“

“10/10 great service and a great burger! First time going there and he helped me out with any questions I had and recommendations!“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“I grew up less than 1/4 mile from the Frisch's in blue ash. Having been there more times than I can count, I can honestly say that this location has hands down the best breakfast bar by far..... Everything was hot and fresh and not the same junk they have every time you visit. Please keep up the excellent work guys!!“

“The food and drinks are delicious and reasonably priced! Always clean and friendly service. Plenty of TVs and rooms to watch your favorite sports team. Very diverse, love it!Wheelchair accessibility: One level, easy entrance, plenty of room to maneuver around.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“Can’t be. Better place to Eat and Drink Food is Outstanding and so are the Drinks The other great thing is the outside Seating and the Groups they Schedule to Play Outside Go McCoys!!!!“

“100% recommend! The I've been several times in the past to where I would highly recommend coming here. If you're looking for good food, great variety of brews, and fun atmosphere to hang with friends or family, this is your place! I'm a huge fan of their buffalo wings, loaded chips, and burgers! I was fortunate enough to be the first customer to have a pepperoni pizza off their new stove! It's good and can't wait to see what other kinds of variations happen with the new set up. The service was fantastic and workers were super accommodating. Look forward to when I go again!“

“Fun exciting entertaining“

“I hadn’t been there in about a year. It was Good Friday and met my friend for lunch. Our server was pleasant and got us our drink order and knew exactly when to come back for the order. I wanted only a light meal and wanted to eat vegetarian. The salad was delicious and I ordered Saratoga chips. It was just the right amount of food. The restaurant was was perfect for conversation. It’s located on the CSX rail line; we could hear the trains but the sound was still ok to have conversation. Five trains passed during our lunch! It was interesting to glance and see what was the consist. Food is reasonably priced, parking not a problem.Vegetarian options: I had a side salad that had fruit and cheese on it.Parking: Plenty of options as they are at a crosssroads.“

“This place was SO GOOD. I was a little hesitant to come after reading some of the negative reviews, but the burger was AMAZING. The fries were alright. Mac and cheese bites were also pretty good. The rainbow sprinkle donut shake is soooo yummy and the beers are also super tasty. Hubby had the Slow Poke stout and I had the Chasing Sunsets peach ale. We’re coming from Columbus for the Flying Pig but we will definitely be back whenever we are in Cinci again!“
