“The ambience is lovely. Had a great date night dinner here. From the cocktails to the marinated olive appetizer to my gluten free version of the rigatoni with vodka sauce and roasted chicken I was so pleased with everything! Absolutely delicious. The lobster ravioli my boyfriend had could have been a bigger portion.”
“My family just threw a 60th birthday party for me at The Globe. It was the perfect venue with seats at the bar, a few tables and chairs and comfy cozy couches and chairs in which to lounge. We had about 80 people there, had food, music and of course drinks! So much fun was had by all. Great place. Yogi rocked the bartending!”

Otto's
“I had the lemon blueberry pancakes with the berry compote and fresh whipped cream. They were delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly. Nice and crisp. My husband had the breakfast casserole, which he liked. The noise level is very high, so if you are looking for an intimate setting, this probably isn't your place. We loved it. Great food and service.”
“Have been going to this place for years now!A great place for lunch or a late night meal in mainstrasse. You HAVE to get a chicken shawarma and ask for it spicy, it's filled to the brim and delicious. The biggest thing brining me back is their fries are so seasoned and crispy (if you dine in) The guys working are always super nice and can answer questions about the menu. It is a smaller location so pick up is the way to go. highly recommended 10/10!”
“Great place! Sausages were excellent, and we really liked the bacon slaw and mashed potatoes. The HUGE (big enough for 4 to 6 people as an appetizer) pretzel with beer cheese is also wonderful, and the beer list complemented the food perfectly.Dietary restrictions: Carnivore”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I recommend this place every chance I get! Best Bulgogi and Sweet&Spicy wings of NKY… def on my top list of placesDietary restrictions: If you let them know when you order, they are extremely accommodating!Parking: There is street parking out front and the side with a large and cheap parking garage behind the restaurant. Never hard to get a place to park.”
“The food was delicious, not super expensive and the restaurant was clean! Definitely would recommend their tacos and tamales as that's what my friends and I ordered.”
“Oishii! Delicious! Came in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed everything about this delightful gem. The onigiri and karaage lunch combo was perfect, light and healthy with a side salad. We also tried two cakes, a strawberry creme and matcha roll. Again, light and subtle flavors always leave you with room for one more bite.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.”
“Several of our neighbors had lunch with us and they all loved it. We are huge fans of Kealoha's Kitchen, and I think you will too. You have got to try this place. Ono grinds!”
“Visited on a Wednesday. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Service was friendly. We would have preferred to sit at a regular table, but we were only offered high tops in the bar area despite several tables remaining open throughout the entirety of our meal. Not a big deal, just confusing. Will definitely be back.”
“The service was great and the food was well flavored, but could've have been spicier to me; ordered the hottest it could go and was mildly warm at best.Additionally, the soft drinks are just out of a can which is disappointing but understandable.Definitely recommend if you're in the area and is a great change of pace from the other restaurants nearby.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans”
“I recently came in for the first time and had a marvelous experience. The bartenders were so welcoming…not to mention handsome. The food was spectacular, I ordered one of every hot dog so I could really get a feel for their selections of dogs. I was Not disappointed! The pb&j dog special was by far my favorite. (they only serve it on the third saturday of the month) If you are looking for a quaint and local spot with great dogs, Larry’s All American Cafe is the place to go! You will not regret stopping in.”
“Our catering company worked with Marilyn and Zel's pretzels for our Derbyevent that hosts over 2000 people. I wish every vendor was like Marilyn, quick responses, connecting us with other local vendors and delivering product as promised! Marilyn made working with Zel's so easy. Our guests loved the pretzels and we got to promote a small KY vendor. Can't wait to work with Marilyn again!”
“I’ve been to many tours in the area but this by far was the best even though it wasn’t an actual tour. Brad was so full of information and takes so much pride in what he does that it made it the best whiskey lesson and tasting I’d ever had. I was so engrossed in what he had to say that my hour of metered parking went forty minutes past. Happy my car was still there! I showed up shortly after noon last Wednesday and was lucky enough to have Brad one on one. I figured with so much information I’d let him steer on the whiskey selections, he did not disappoint! I only wish I had more time and an Uber to take me back to my hotel. Thank you so much Brad for the VIP treatment, Cheers brother!”
“Salads! Some of the best you can get as well. Never satisfied with boring lettuce, these are locally sourced and exquisite!Now they have a smoker! And offer BBQ all made on site with homemade BBQ sauce. It is delicious and done with the same high standards I have come to love. So far I haven't found a smoked item O didn't love, brisket tacos, dry rubbed wings, or pulled pork. The new sides are great as well.Such a simple idea, make a great patty for a great burger. It just goes to reason that if you have a great patty, you would only want good toppings on it. If you take good toppings and put them on a great patty, you will build a great burger.Such a simple idea should not be so hard to find. When you do find it, you will remember it. If you want a great burger, try Bard's. It is worth it.The Mushlove is still my all-time favorite burger.Their chili, sides, and sweets are worth the drive too. The staff are exceptional and very friendly. I gladly call myself a regular customer.”

“Went with my mother and my brother on a Wednesday afternoon, looking to adopt. We were a few minutes early of our booked time and grabbed a drink ahead of hanging out with the cats.The staff were all friendly and helpful. The cats were all cute but with us being picky, we didn't leave with one. There were two other people sharing our time slot but that was no issue.”
“Really tasty...worth the hype I've been seeing. Birria ramen was amazing, as was the Pollo Asado.Do note... it's a small place with limited indoor seating...plan accordingly. It appears to do a lot of carryout...also, order at the front and take a seat of eating it.”

“Great casual semi dive bar feel with excellent food and cocktails. I had the Clockwork Orange ? and my husband had the spicy bloody. For bites we went with the burger and fried chicken sandwich. The side salad dressing was excellent. Love the Covington, KY laidback vibe.”
“Such an incredible experience! Food was delicious, the cast was fun, the situations were humorous, and a great time was had by all. The team was great at handling some specific requests and the show was awesome. Would absolutely recommend, 10/10.”
“The steaks were off the chart good. I don't believe you can get much better honestly. The service was great also. Price was on point. Plus they gave us free dessert because it was our anniversary. I highly recommend.”

“First time here and wow! Pleasantly surprised by the food, atmosphere, and the service. The chefs in the kitchen all wear comically oversized hats! I got a calzone and it was HUGE! Very tasty with a side of yummy marinara (not like the sweet stuff larosas has). Reasonably priced and good drinks!”

“Great food, attentive service. Folks watching sports on a Sunday afternoon were loud when cheering, but we invaded their space. Would definitely go back, even at the same time.”
“We enjoyed "drinks & a show" in this little speakeasy-style upstairs bar as we watched bartender/manager Chris prepare a variety of drinks – many of which involved fire! They have a huge bourbon library, interesting cocktails, and Goodfellas pizza right downstairs.”
“I absolutely love this place! It's affordable, and the food is so good! I had their salmon kani bites appetizers, and the Sunday AM, and Who Dey rolls. Incredible! This is my boyfriend and i's spot now!”
“The bartenders and waitresses and owner are all wonderful. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is excellent. I recommend sitting at the bar to get more of the Personal Touch but they have so much good food and terrific customer service.Vegetarian options: They have seafood dishes as well as tofu and vegetable versions with terrific saucesKid-friendliness: The atmosphere is family-friendly. Not a bar setting though it has that option it's certainly a good place to take the whole family”
“First time at this location (usually went to Glenwood but it closed). Great food and atmosphere. Staff is attentive and very helpful. Best fish and chips I've ever had! Highly recommend.”
“Not only was the food was impeccable, but the bartenders Scott and Josh were great. They taught us about what wine pairs well with our food and elevated our experience. Thank you and we will be back!”
“Holy moly I love this place. It’s a bit pricey but well worth it. Portions are nice and easy to share. The shrimp roll is literally what dreams are made of. Hands down the best fried green tomatoes and fried chicken I’ve had in awhile. Topped everything off with a slice of honey pie and I was in heaven. Definitely worth it.”
“Amazing beer.I had an issue with a couple of 15-packs of beer that I purchased… sent a quick email to alert of the issue. Not really seeking anything. Thought I’d get an apology and maybe a small response. They blew me away with care to resolve my issue, explained how it likely happened, apologized and all!Top notch, Braxton. Top notch.”
“I was debating between 4 and 5 stars. I decided to go 5 based on it being a really cool local space with just fantastic service. We had 10 people show up for our 8 person brunch reservation and they were like, "no problem, we've got you in the party room". Our waiter was great and was on the spot with everything. The food was solid. Our table got some of everything. My wife's burger was kind of oddly small, but it tasted great. Everyone was very happy with their drinks and their food. They also have just a cool vibe to the place. You can tell it was a gas station, but they made it look so cool. I'm glad we finally got to try The Standard and I'll be happy to go back.”
“I love coming in here always the tastiest music playin the guys in here are friendly i mean i sat down to wait on my order and 2 guys walked in said hey asked if they can help me the customer service is out of this world give all these guys raises they deserve ”
“Walked a little further than usual today and ended up eating at Zapata. There's a place across the street that's more authentic but the atmosphere there is much less classy. The bar tender was informative and friendly and the food was good enough. I ordered enchiladas. They were filling and had good taste but were doused in sauce, came with less rice than I expected and no refried beans as is customary for this dish. Before the order we shared some white queso dip which was very good! I recommend it for any cheese lovers out there. The beers were good too. Overall I'd definitely recommend it but there are some small improvements they could make.”

“Went through the drive thru for a quick snack. Normally, it would take little time, but this it was lighting fast. I'm thinking the items have been sitting under a heat lamp but it was fresh and hot. Well done! Will be ”

“Beautiful space with plenty of seating, the service was fast and the food was INCREDIBLE. We only had a 20 minute wait for a table on a busy Sunday morning, which was amazing to hear since most brunch spots take a lot longer. Prices were VERY fair for the quality and quantity of food that you get - overall, can't recommend this place enough! Will definitely be dining there again soon.Parking: Public parking lot around the back of the restaurant and plenty of street parking”
Takeout Restaurants
“I absolutely recommend their affogato, it's gelato drowning in expresso. They rotate their flavors weekly, which you can check on their website. They also have dairy free options.Their gelato flavors are outstanding. They have bold flavors and fun flavor combinations.You can also get pints!”
“This place is so cute! Had Ethan as our server twice and he is such a sweetheart. He makes excellent recommendations and was so helpful and fun to chat with. Even during a busy night he was attentive to our table. Our food and drinks are always delicious and I love the ambiance here. It's like a fancy little old school renovated diner/ speakeasy type vibe. Love this addition to Mainstrasse!”

“This place is so much fun. We stopped here since we saw some igloos on the sidewalk and inquired inside. Unfortunately you need to book those in advance so we just grabbed a spot at the bar. The waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and getting us our flight of drinks very quickly. We also ordered the loaded potato dip and it was delicious! Had to try the "chili" for chili week and it was a delicious bowl of ice cream with rice crispys. Overall 5/5 stars, when we are back in the Cincinnati area we will stop by.”

“One of the best cheeseburgers I've had. I don't normally visit taverns. However the locals stated if I wanted the best cheeseburger ? around visit this place. The only drawl back, no fries, no ice tea, very small.”
“This is my favorite Dairy Queen location! On summer nights there is usually a line at the drive through, but it moves at a decent pace. Everyone that works there has always been very friendly. The best part about this location is they give a generous amount of toppings in their Blizzards. The summer special, peanut butter puppy chow, was my absolute favorite this summer.”
“A cute 2 door bakery with a soft dim atmosphere. Large potted plants decorate the interior and flowers are at every table in small jars.The pastries are delicious! My boyfriend absolutely loves the chocolate crossiants, and I don't think he is the only one! I know on days like Saturday if I don't go early enough they are sold out by the time I arrive.I personally love the rose pistachio croissant and the lavender miso cookies. Honestly I get pastries here probably more than I should, but they are just so good!I don't think I've ever had something here I didn't like. They also have pies, cake slices, breakfast Sammy's and even quiches!I know they rotate what items they make and display.”
“My favorite coffee stop in NKY! This is coffee done to perfection and served in a place that somehow feels both cozy and eclectic. While you're there, be sure to browse the connected shop, La Maison, (SO MANY adorable things you didn't even know you needed) and to buy a Left Bank t-shirt. Mine is one of the comfiest shirts I've ever owned! #LOVE the COV”
“The servers were extremely nice and friendly. I asked a bunch of questions about different things and not once did she answer with an attitude or seem annoyed. My food came out fast and fresh definitely my favorite location!”
“They have the best donuts by far in Northern Kentucky I go there every Saturday morning hoping to see the little old ladies that are there and get donuts for my grandkids, my husband and I it's our Saturday tradition. They are always nice and fresh and those women are amazing”
“Hung out on a Sunday afternoon and the bartender was great and the pizza was delish. They had live music which was nice, a little loud and hard to talk while he was playing though.”
“Took my parents for their 58th anniversary and the waitress treated them like royalty, sent them on their way with cake for each of them for the anniversary Great time was had by all. ”

“A gorgeous, tucked away wine bar with a great ambiance! There were lots of friendly faces, a great selection of bottles for sale, and a great menu, with a selection of wines, beers, and cocktails, as well as various accoutrements.If I lived closer, I would for sure become a regular here. I really enjoyed the Giggle Water. Drinks were affordable.This place has serious character; don't overlook it!”
“Great time, Horseshoes in the yard and cheap beer. Still bummed the blacktop wasn't on but whattayagonnado. Don't show up expecting to get a burger. Will be back soon ”

“Went to get a pizza to-go before redsfest and the owner was taking our order training a new employee and helping out at the restaurant. Very nice guy talking to us, recommending food choices and great customer service overall. Not to mention the food was hot and delicious when we got back to hotel. Job well done by the whole place, staff and cooks. Keep up the good work!Parking: Plenty of parking around the back of the building.”
“I used to really enjoy going to Frisch's. But since I got bought out by this other company the prices of done nothing but go up food quality is gone down the service is horrible I'm getting to the point where we hardly go there at all anymore.”
“Newer location. Super clean. It's classic Gold Star darn good Cincinnati style chili. The price is right, service is fast and friendly, and the food is good. I don't know what more you can ask for with fast food.Parking: Surface lot”
“Service was better than I was expecting, I had been there before when service was horrible...sometimes, through the drive thru speaker, you can hear negative chatter amongst the workers, then rudeness when you pick your order up. I've spoken to others who have had the same issue...I know they're kids, not adults, but adolescents shouldn't be allowed where adults supervise”
“Had a business meeting that people forgot to order lunch for.They got us the food in less than 45 minutes with no issues and the delivery person walked it up a few flights of stairs to help me out.Great location and friendly staff.”
“Always feel like I am appreciated and they always have a smile on their face when I go in. Food is always hot and fresh. Love Wendy's. It is a great store on Winston in Covington Kentucky.Parking: Lots of spacesWheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access and parking.”
“We catered from the Lee's chicken in Covington, KY Saturday for repast. It was hands down the best chicken I have ever eaten from Lee's chicken. Crowd pleaser.”
“Staff during this visit was friendly and helpful even though they were crowded and very busy. I love their Chocolate Frosties as well as their Pecan, Chicken, Apple Salad with Pomegranite dressing. (Yummy)”
“I used to go out of my way to get Lee's Famous Recipe to avoid this particular location because the crew members were rude and the food mediocre at best. Today, I decided to give it another shot and boy was I not disappointed. They appeared to have a whole different crew working there than the last time I was there. The people were much friendlier. While the chicken pieces are still small, everything was hot and delicious. I've decided small chicken pieces are ok anyway. The really large pieces you buy in the grocery store are probably from chickens that were pumped up with steroids anyway.”
“Food was good hot the staff was claim and all dress the same only problem is the place where homeless hangout they order a Coke or water then you have one at a time go out with a side to get money there was three tables of them one had their belongings all over the ”
“Close to home & always friendlyKid-friendliness: It doesn't have a play place which would be nice in our Urban community as a safe place for littles to play. But it's McDonald's so kids love itWheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant”
“I've had a few issues with the order being wrong but the food is always good so I always go backParking: There is plenty of parking all the way around the restaurant”
“I ordered online. I think the person taking orders was new. I went to the drive thru, and he instructed me to go in for door dash. I said I had a mobile order, not door dash. It took several minutes for them to ask me to pull forward, that they found my order.The order screen was black, so nothing was visible for people to order from.My order was correct and was fresh. I tried the shrimp for the first time. I liked them, just a tad spicy for my taste. A good amount of gravy on my potatoes. The only thing I didn't like was the dry biscuit.Wheelchair accessibility: I would not come here with a wheelchair. The parking lot is a bit difficult, and the doorway is not easily navigated.”
“Have ended many a night here over the span of many years, this place may not have the trendiest drinks nor the hippest crowds, but it has real people happily working and patronizing. A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...”
“I love coming in here always the tastiest music playin the guys in here are friendly i mean i sat down to wait on my order and 2 guys walked in said hey asked if they can help me the customer service is out of this world give all these guys raises they deserve ”

“Love this place, specifically on the weekend. Their pickled green tomatoes on their sandwiches make them next level.Parking: There is limited street parking in the area and the lot that used to be next door is gone.However there is a ton of parking within a block or two just need to look around a bit.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is to 16 y/o so that is great and there is a specific area for kids to go play with toys and books to read while they wait!”
Cheap Eats
“It's a coffee shop that also has antiques, art, and vintage clothing, but do not let that deter you, the coffee is still really good. They use Pneuma coffee. The staff are all super cool and friendly, I was the only person in the shop for a few hours and they chatted with me a few times. Great variety in coffee and non-coffee options. They do events, too! Pretty cool place.Parking: If you go to their website, they have a parking map that shows you where the free lot is.”
“This place is easily one of the coolest bars in the area. Everyone loved the vibes and drinks. The bartenders had great energy which added to our evening. We can’t wait to be back soon ? thanks for taking great care of us! ”
“The Villa Is Just the Place where everyone knows everyone. GOOD People Great Bartender's and they also have some of the best food for your Average Joe Kind of place..Been going there for 20 yearsParking: I'd say around 50 to 60 cars can Park”
“My wife and I stop in occasionally, beers are always cold and service is always top notch! Place is very clean and the other customers are friendly and there for a good time. Best little bar in the area!”
“Bartender did a great job helping me find the right beer even though my taste was quite different than their main stock.The folks are lovely and sweet. The environment is lovely and accommodating.”
“Great food and even better service. He is such a friendly fellow. I enjoyed a short talk and am so impressed with what he's done.Parking: Paid to park..wanted a.hotdog was 2 bucks in the public lot. Drove around and little to no free or cheap parking. His spot is right by the courthouse so it's understandable.”
“It's a cute well done little bar. Nice out doors area, very affordable. It's still looking for it's customers tho. Currently here at 9:30pm on a Friday night and there's 4 people here counting me and my girlfriend. We'd probably come back just as a cheap drink to get out for a minute or a pit stop to other places.”
“Saw a review about this place and decided to check it out, was not disappointed. We went for lunch, was hoping to try the wings, tacos and cheeseburger. However, since we got there around 1pm, server said only lunch was served. Tacos, and wings were offered after 4pm. We all order the cheeseburger and fries. Burgers are big and tasty, fries were crispy, the Fri sauce tastes like the sauce used for onion bloom. Hope to return for wings and tacos in the future.”
“Great little hole in the wall spot. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly bartender and patrons. Highly recommended. Also a really good bourbon selection for such a small spot. Definitely worth the visit.Parking: Easy to get in and out of and right off 75.”
“I bought 2 jams at the holiday expo tonight and I have to say they are very good. Try them, you won't be disappointed. The Honey Pear Vanilla is my favorite. The woman working the booth was knowledgeable of the products and very kind. Will buy again!”
“We have been eating ZOLA BURGERS for years. Our recent visit was incredible because of Desiree, the bartender. Bartenders on that strip usually lack personality, but Desiree was sweet, knowledgeable, and warm. There are dozens of pubs on the strip with glitter and brass, but we will come back to KY for our Zola burgers...and Desiree.”
“traveling from Canada and stumbled across this place online, what can I say this is possibly the best taco I have ever had in my life, and this is coming from someone who is picky about tacos, i had the shrimp, the chorizo and the al pastor, none of them disappointed in any way. just to let you know im writing this review a few hours later because I am still thinking about that first bite, i totally recommend this!”
“A nice cozy gem. I've been here years ago as a kid. An coming back is awesome good food and service, parking is on street which is ok plenty of places to park, and bring cash but they do have atm.”
“A nice hangout for all different ages. Family atmosphere good food (Mama is a great cook) Check it out it's a great way to spend game day. Good food, great drink's and great PPL!!!”

“Stopped in on a whim, love supporting local businesses, came in with an open mind, left a HUGE FAN, Food was amazing full of flavor, and just the right amount of kick, as our server said not a kick in the face but just right,started with chips and queso and Wowser, cheese and Peppers and little corn 10 times better then the local chain restaurants, main course we both had the Chicken Burrito Bowl, unlike the BIG Chain restaurant we USE TO GO TO, this one had zero grissle, great flavor, vibrant colors,all the flavors just mixed beautifully, and I’m a hard critic being from the food industry for so many years also had the Heart of Diego Margarita, AmazingDefinitely will return again and againThe menu is simple, not 15 pages, ONE PAGE front and back, laid back atmosphere, friendly staff very welcoming and made a few great suggestions, looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the out door seating area and more great food”

“Debbie and Amber hit it out of the park for us. Debbie Saturday night and Amber Sunday brunch. Great service, friendly and personable servers, and great food. Wings are the best around. Also that sweet & spicy sauce!”
“Ambiance was outstanding, old& new! The best drinks created by the bartenders on the menu!! Portions good& top notch food. Not surprised at all! Only negative was the distance from Loveland, where we live, to Covington”
“Food was bomb ? super family friendly atmosphere. I went by myself and the vibe was still welcoming and relaxed. This spot has had so many restaurants throughout the years I truly hope this one is here to stay. Im gonna be back very soon ?Kid-friendliness: Plenty of children walking around.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps.”

Mash & Oak
“I absolutely love Mash and Oak! The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is excellent and the food is incredible! The portions are huge so bring your appetite…or ask for a box! Great things happening at the restaurant in the Marriott Rivercenter in Covington!”
“I thought the steak was well cooked but for the price, I think it would've been great with juice or some sauce. It came out cooked accordingly, but had zero juice. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and could definitely be split amongst two people. I would go back but I would request some au jeux with the steaks. I would also love to see the interior updated to match the feeling of the building. Overall, I would go back to try more dishes!”

Timmy and Kara were so kind and helpful when I returned. They were very delightful and smiling. This store is always clean, and the restrooms are clean too. The food is great and comes out hot. There is always such a great atmosphere here. Make sure you stop by and see Renee, who is also a delight. Thanks for being such a great staff. ❤️??”
“The steaks were off the chart good. I don't believe you can get much better honestly. The service was great also. Price was on point. Plus they gave us free dessert because it was our anniversary. I highly recommend.”
“Went to eat with my friend Tara and she took me to this cozy gem hidden in Latonia, KY. The food was great and the atmosphere was so cool. I sat in the booth where Danny Devito and Robert Redford sat in to fix the movie "The Old Man and The Gun"”
“Walked a little further than usual today and ended up eating at Zapata. There's a place across the street that's more authentic but the atmosphere there is much less classy. The bar tender was informative and friendly and the food was good enough. I ordered enchiladas. They were filling and had good taste but were doused in sauce, came with less rice than I expected and no refried beans as is customary for this dish. Before the order we shared some white queso dip which was very good! I recommend it for any cheese lovers out there. The beers were good too. Overall I'd definitely recommend it but there are some small improvements they could make.”
“There was a really nice energy to the restaurant last night. My friend and I chose to sit at the bar for dinner where we had great service from our bartender. Really nice selection of wine to choose from. Our dinner was fabulous! Great combination of flavors in the Salmon Al Limone. Very generous portion of salmon and the ravioli was absolutely delicious. ”
“This is the best bar in Covington! They have great fast service. The owner and bartenders go above and beyond to remember their customers and their drink orders:) Great place with a really awesome outdoor area as well! Ask about their train shots! Thanks Chris and the Paddy’s staff for always making a night out an enjoyable experience for all!”

“Our party of 4 arrived at 1:00 for the Sunday brunch. It wasn't crowded at all. Though we've been there many times over the past decades, our daughter in law had never been there, so it was a special treat for her. The guys really enjoyed the prime rib. I especially liked the crepes. Oh, so good. There were breakfast and lunch foods available, so you could choose either...or both! We had a lovely time there and definitely plan to go back sometime.”
“Visited on a Wednesday. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Service was friendly. We would have preferred to sit at a regular table, but we were only offered high tops in the bar area despite several tables remaining open throughout the entirety of our meal. Not a big deal, just confusing. Will definitely be back.”
“Holy moly I love this place. It’s a bit pricey but well worth it. Portions are nice and easy to share. The shrimp roll is literally what dreams are made of. Hands down the best fried green tomatoes and fried chicken I’ve had in awhile. Topped everything off with a slice of honey pie and I was in heaven. Definitely worth it.”

“We catered from the Lee's chicken in Covington, KY Saturday for repast. It was hands down the best chicken I have ever eaten from Lee's chicken. Crowd pleaser.”
“I used to really enjoy going to Frisch's. But since I got bought out by this other company the prices of done nothing but go up food quality is gone down the service is horrible I'm getting to the point where we hardly go there at all anymore.”
“Bartender did a great job helping me find the right beer even though my taste was quite different than their main stock.The folks are lovely and sweet. The environment is lovely and accommodating.”
“They have the best donuts by far in Northern Kentucky I go there every Saturday morning hoping to see the little old ladies that are there and get donuts for my grandkids, my husband and I it's our Saturday tradition. They are always nice and fresh and those women are amazing”
“My boyfriend and I have been trying to find a place for us to eat at a reasonable price and worth the price. We really underestimated this restaurant but it was so good and the burritos were bigger than what we expected and only costed us 24 dollars for the both of us❤️ We highly ”
“Really tasty...worth the hype I've been seeing. Birria ramen was amazing, as was the Pollo Asado.Do note... it's a small place with limited indoor seating...plan accordingly. It appears to do a lot of carryout...also, order at the front and take a seat of eating it.”
“I’m assuming due to a staffing shortage, this location has been slower lately but hopping on here to commend the folks working the late night shift. Although there were a few back ups, we stayed patient and the team made our McFlurries which I haven’t enjoyed in YEARS as many locations simply refuse to make them. The two working even took the time to locate the designated spoons… and added extra toppings. As a 24hr McDonalds they’re holding this place together. Don’t expect quick service but you can expect them to make it right and do their best every time! I didn’t get names but it was around 1130PM on Saturday”
“Hung out on a Sunday afternoon and the bartender was great and the pizza was delish. They had live music which was nice, a little loud and hard to talk while he was playing though.”
“The service was great and the food was well flavored, but could've have been spicier to me; ordered the hottest it could go and was mildly warm at best.Additionally, the soft drinks are just out of a can which is disappointing but understandable.Definitely recommend if you're in the area and is a great change of pace from the other restaurants nearby.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans”
