“I ordered the beef rendang on DoorDash, as I'm Indonesian and from Maryland but just moved to Cincy from Myrtle Beach (absolutely no diversity there). It was sweet, spicy, and tender; almost exactly like how my mom would make it. Thank you for a wonderful and refreshing meal to remind me of home, especially as Ramadan is approaching. Absolutely delicious!I do wish the portion size was bigger. Maybe it's because when my mom would cook it, I could keep coming back for more, but it did seem like a bit of a smaller portion for $14.“
“Came with a group for lunch. Everything was good. The only complaint from the group was the Swamp Mud drink, apparently it tasted like a black licorice liquor was mixed in for the coloring effect. But the other drinks were on point. The pasta dish was excellent. We will definitely be back.“
“This is one of the best food establishments I’ve been too in awhile! They were all so friendly, the food is AMAZING and my children also got a new experience watching them cook it all up. I highly recommend this establishment very clean as well. I also got the egg drop soup and it’s one of the best I’ve had.“
“If you ask how I want the burger cooked, you got to deliver. I said medium, and I got well done, not burnt or dry though. It was still juicy and seasoned fine. It was just "eh". A $16 burger should make want to come back. Fries were seasoned well and crispy.“
“By far the best bbq in Cincinnati hands down. The brisket is from heaven ❤ for such a small location it puts out an amazing amount of bbq. Get there early cus they sell out. They also have another location in OTR we haven't been to but know they serve alcohol there ?“
“Very informal restaurant -order at the counter and take food to table. Food was simple, but excellent. Not a lot of food options, but what we did get was VERY good. Ribs and brisket were both excellent. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Many people getting take-out. In warmer weather we would have considered taking the food to a larger outside area.“
“Really delicious bbq and side dishes! We had the ribs, bbq pork sandwiches, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, cornbread, baked beans, and macaroni n cheese. We dined in the outdoor seating area. It was heated and comfortable. Large picnic style table seating. Overall, it was a great experience.“
“The food and service was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was above our expectations! Our waitress Diane was outstanding to say the least. She was friendly, very knowledgeable, and attentative to every detail and our needs. My husband and I highly recommend coming here.“
“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“
“The waiters and hostesses are so kind! Definitely worth the wait, but luckily there is a waitlist feature. The combo platters are the best! The sirloin is greatttt, wasn't a huge fan of the bbq chicken, the steaks were better. The chicken tenders were delicious though! The crispy ones!“
“IMO the best BBQ I've found in the Cincinnati area. The prices are more reasonable than most others and the quality of the ribs and brisket is unsurpassed. My biggest complaints are the limited hours they are open and the fact that they are, in effect carry out only.“
“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“
“Best in BBQ in the city! I first tasted them at a food truck event and was hooked! I had them cater my client appreciation holiday party. They were on time, had all the food packaged nicely, set it up for me, and brought amazing food! Everyone raved about it. All the food heated up nicely for leftovers! Fan fave!“
“New customer. Had tender juicy turkey tips?? with cheesy creamy •seasoned• mac n chz?. Came back the next day with my son. We had turkey tips with baked beans and yams. So so good! Customer service was prefect! Clear communication and helpful with smiles ?“
“A great classic Cincinnati pub up in Mt. Adams and on the northend of the main strip. A historical building that has been treasured for years creates an amazing setting for great grub and good times. The menu is eclectic and the drinks are good. Have gone many times when in town for business or visiting my daughter at UC. Easily accessed from downtown or campus. Parking is on the street & is always interesting. Folks are always friendly & helpful. A good cultural destination if you're looking for a classic Cincinnati experience. Then go around the corner and enjoy some live music at The Blind Lemon!“
“Nikki was my server and she was friendly. She recommended us the couples flight which we did. It did take about 30 minutes or more until we got our meat to cook when we were on a time crunch. The table next to us was extremely loud so I was unable to have a conversation with my date. Food was a large amount for fair pricing. We will go back but will ask to be in a more secluded table towards the front.“
“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“
“The server and food were good, but this place loses a star due to the manager on duty. Seriously corporate needs to review this guys attitude. He was a older larger guy, that was just conceding to just about everyone. I luckily didnt have to deal with him, but just from observation, he talked down to two different parties in the 5 mins I was waiting, questioning if they knew what location they called ahead, telling them they can stay or just leave, etc. I get it was busy and stressful, but if you cant deal with it, then buddy you are in the wrong business.“
“Food was great, their brussels spouts are just incredible and their take on fries is really unique and delicious.Because of how loud and echoey the Element Eatery is, it was hard to understand the person at the counter, and the chairs SUCK. Parking is also really weird.“
“Awesome quick food from outside a fantastic brewery. Food is always fresh, juicy, and fast. The BBQ sauce selection is fantastic and varied enough to come back wanting to try something new.Perfect place to grab some grub (and a brew next door) after a walk in the park.“
“Went for dinner to celebrate graduation and 18th birthday. Our server was courteous and friendly. The food arrived quickly and was generous in portions. A mixed drink was done well. The view of the river is scenic and relaxing. Food was pricey but the expert was worth it. Thumbs High! ?“
“First off, Sandman is a wonderful and friendly server. He was super patient, outgoing and knew how to have a little bit of fun too. My party of 4 ordered a decent chunk of the menu and we all enjoyed the food.Their wings are very tender and tasty. Lots of flavor and spice options. The honey cornbread is amazing along with all their sides/fixins.From our experience, there really isn’t anything you can go wrong with on their menu. We will definitely be back. Loved the atmosphere and the service was top notch.Parking: Plenty of parking available on all sides of the building.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for kids and picky eaters.“
“I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting this establishment in person but every single time I’ve ordered via DoorDash, the food is incredible. My all-time favorite fried chicken place. The spicy chicken is the best. Yams, cornbread, Mac n cheese, sweet potato pie, it’s all good. I have yet to try something I don’t like! Big portions, always hot and fresh. 10/10.“
“Stopped in for lunch on our vacation trip, never had City bbq before. Service was awesome. Can't remember her name but the lady who took our order and even gave us a few samples was full of hospitality. Food was delicious. We just might stop back on our way home. ?“
“Stumbled on this place by accident and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent, try a shared platter to get a variety. Burnt ends are good as well as the pulled pork, brisket, really everything... wings are good just not our favorite but there are a lot of options. you'll be happy if you go here. We will be back soon.“
“We were looking for some protein before our hike in the nature preserve. SO happy we happened upon Pig Candy BBQ ? We had the brisket sandwich and pulled pork waffle. Absolutely delicious, we ended up ordering another sandwich to go. The employees were also so sweet, what a joy to eat here!“
