Follow me as I tour the Cincinnati dive bar diners and cry about my GERT! This is your home away from home if you love deep-fried cheese sticks and a huge bowl of chili for breakfast.

Do not pass up the hashbrown balls! This little piece of Cincinnati history is a wonderful place to enjoy your mornings and early afternoons. Even though the place is full of regulars you'll feel so incredibly welcome as a first timer.

Great food. Good service. Amazing breakfast. Order the French toast - you won't regret it.
Great staff and friendly atmosphere. The woman running the bar claimed she had the best chocolate milk, and she was definitely right. Awesome food too

Eveytime I go here, ITS NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT from the staff. They are kind and patient an are always smiling. Prices are fair an reasonable. If you are having a bad day this place will cheer you up!!!!! Now the food however. Wooooooooooooooooo something bout that French toast Sammie every Saturday morning gets me going. You can taste the love in their food. From the outside it doesn't look like much but don't let that stop you from coming in!!! Give this place a try you won't regret it!!!!

Where to start...I'll be honest, from the outside, Dunlap Cafe does not look like the most appealing place to have a 5 star breakfast.And then you walk in.They've clearly put a lot of work into making the inside very easy on the eyes, clean, and inviting. A very down to earth, hometown vibe. Complete with memorabilia on the wall and a mascot to take photos with!Let's get down to the food - Incredible! Me and my wife both had the French toast Sammie, which beat out The Governor and Goose and Elder for best breakfast sandwich that week. Let that sink in.Sherry (sp?) and Julie have been doing a fantastic job of keeping this place running! Sherry chatted with us when we were ordering our food, walked us through the menu and what goes into cooking up different dishes. She recommended us get Julie's potatoes with their French Toast Sammie, which are prepared each morning fresh. We were not disappointed!The French Toast adds such a great flavor to the egg, bacon and sausage; soaking up the flavor but at the same time not becoming soggy. It holds the flavor in, reinvigorating your taste buds with each and every bite!Seriously, this place is truly a hidden gem in Cincinnati/OTR. Please make this your first stop for breakfast/lunch!Parking: Parking available across the street, also parking at Findley Market is approx ~4 minute walk to Dunlap Cafe (and cheaper parking).
