50 Best American Restaurants near Forest Park

“Everything was great. Had a wonderful meal. The waitress was exceptional. Her name is Janae JVegetarian options: Vegetables are very tasty. I especially like the carrots. But lots of options.Parking: Have lots of parking in front, handicap on side & RV parking.“

“Audrey was amazing today, which was only second to the meal!“

“I love this place Autumn and Kristen are the best bartenders I've ever had!! The food is top notch too!“

“It was busy, but understandably. Parking is always horrid at the location I visited. The food was good! I think for $13 the crown jewel could have a bit more lobster. My vegetarian street tacos were incredibly greasy/oily but overall a good flavor.Vegetarian options: There are two or three decent vegetarian selections aside from a cheese taco or Quesadilla. There are a few options but not many. I do know, as a vegetarian, I hate finding meat in my veggie taco from not cleaning the grill or something of that sort. I have not found this to be the case here. That is well respected.Parking: There is paid parking all around location using meters. There’s also a couple parking garages that many use due to not being able to find parking. We ended up parking in front of the district and walked about 4 blocks to grab our take out and go. It wasn’t a bad walk, just more chilly than desired.Kid-friendliness: There was nothing I noticed that wouldn’t be kid friendly. There were kids right outside waiting and playing as soon of the street was closed for outdoor dining.“

“Nice place, menu looks fantastic, will try next time, already ate. Nice setup!“

“The service was excellent and our meal was very good. Our only complaint was both our ribeye and filet steaks were cooked to perfection, but were over spiced with too much pepper. All we tasted was that pepper.“

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

“It was excellent. Service was fantastic“

“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

“Best sandwiches & customer service! Highly recommend!“

“The Ricotta Cloud 9 Pancakes may actually be heaven manna!!! The best I have had out!The ? mojito is delightful and the green fresh squeezed drink (kale and ginger and some other stuff) and the orange drink too ( i think it's carrots and a lot of other things). The ? cake is AMAZING!!!“

“Was looking for a breakfast place, let me tell to you, today we found a great hidden gem. The price was spot on, the portions were great! Staff was super nice and friendly!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Tasting and food was great. Also, service at tasting bar and dining table was great.“

“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“

“Must try the bee keeper! The avocado tasted so so fresh. Their fruit cup was also super amazing and fresh.“

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

“Let me being by saying that this was the second time in my life that my wife and I have had a meal so good that we bought drinks for the entire restaurant staff.We went last night and this meal was the best we've ever had in Cincinnati. We began with the oysters and the bone marrow. If you've never had bone marrow like we hadn't, get it. I'm telling you that it's sublime. That was followed with the seasonal spring salad. I know this is a steakhouse and they do their steak as well as anyone, but I've never had a salad that good. It was the single best bite of the meal!After the salads, they brought out our 4oz petit filets, fingerling potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms and onions. We prefer to have small steaks and let it be an element of the meal rather than the meal itself and I'm so glad we did! The entire meal was delicious and I'd hate to have ordered a larger steak and missed out on the opportunity to try some of their other menu items.Finally, we wrapped up the meal with a creme brulee for each of us (they had two types so we got one of each and shared). Creme brulee is my favorite dessert and The Lonely Pine didn't disappoint!I can't wait to go back. I've been talking to folks at work about it all morning and several of them are excited to try the place as well.GO. Enjoy your night out. You won't be disappointed in taking my recommendation.Parking: We had no trouble finding street parking within 30 feet of the restaurant. They also have a free parking lot directly across the street.“

“Had a great time. Bbq chicken pizza was great. Husband had po'boy daughter had Ramen bowl. Everything was great however when the music started it was so loud you couldn't talk at your table. we were sitting half was through but was still very loud. Will definitely be back“

“2024 menu is good and so was the service!“

“Awesome place to grab lunch in Northside! Locally owned and operated. I recommend the Rachel with a side of vegan chili. Yum!“

“It’s been a looooong time since everything I’ve ordered at a restaurant was perfect. Mussels were the best I’ve EVER had. Queso was sublime. I was stuffed by the time our entrees arrived but I kept eating because it was the f$&king bomb. I had the New York strip and it was perfect. We don’t normally visit the same restaurant twice since there are so many options in SW Ohio but we just might have to come back to this one. And the service was impeccable as well btw.“

“great food and good selection of dark beer...ken the waiter was on point!“

“Food was excellent, with so many choices to choose from! Service was friendly and outstanding!! Will definitely be coming back for more!!!“

“3/30 We went to this place for a lovely lunch and I want to say that if you like poutine you need to run here and get some. Their poutine is made with duck fat and truffle fries, local cheese curds and has braised short rib with gravy and we chose to have the local over easy free ranged egg on it. Every bit of it was delicious and we took some of it home. He had the big fat Greek gyro and I had the k-pop hot dog which is a beef hotdog with homemade kimchi (perfect addition), braised short rib (and they didn't skimp on it), pickled cucumbers (lovely touch) and sesame seeds. I also had a local beer called Luke I am your Lager which the brewery is in West Chester which I thought paired with lunch perfectly.“

“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!“

“Always a great experience when you dine in here. The drinks are always fresh. The food selection is always well prepared. Nice place to take your family on a weekend to get out of the house. Make sure to get there early as this is a popular spot in Blue Ash!“

“A great place for a healthy lunch. I think they do catering as well. The actual restaurant is small and well lit by the afternoon sun. It's kind of tucked away in the back of Techwood Circle. I found Apple Spice Junction because it's near my company office, but sometimes I stop there if I'm in the general area. I recommend the Southwest Chicken wrap and pasta. Unfortunately, they are only open for lunch.“

“Great food and great service.“

“Morning Meditation, carrot cake pancake, & Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict! Perfect Sunday brunch!“

“Must try the bee keeper! The avocado tasted so so fresh. Their fruit cup was also super amazing and fresh.“

“We had a gift certificate given to us for Christmas a couple of years ago that we finally got to use. The pros: It was a really good time having dinner on the train, being entertained and hearing some history. The staff was awesome and really went above and beyond. After dinner they highly recommended to explore the train, which we did. It was quite a ride back holding on as we were walking, but it made for some good laughs. Several groups of people dressed up forties style which was very cool. I would suggest if you have a special occasion to book well in advance if you can. Some of the cons: Also I felt that the price was a little high for what you got. Drinks were about average price these days, $12 a piece and tip added another $50. Also they sat us with another couple, which I wasn't a fan of, but oh well. Another thing, don't be expecting beautiful scenery on this ride. It was a lot of graffiti on the back side of buildings and shopping centers. Lol.“

“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.“

“Love the food and the Staff!!!“

“The service was excellent, the food was delicious and prices were reasonable. I highly recommend stopping at Lisa's Kitchen for breakfast or lunch.“

“Great food! TheStone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager was a great beer!“

“Your classic Greek Diner. Clean, cozy, great service & delicious food! Locally owned & operated - the owners daughter waited on me. I love that they have kept their booths - personally I love sitting at a booth at any restaurant… esp a diner! Bathroom was clean & stocked. The ONLY thing that would make that diner better, would be if it was in Madison, Indiana - so I didn’t have to drive an hour+ each time I crave their yummy spanakopita & tzatziki & gyro!! But, I will happily make the drive for my next craving!!“

“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.“

“Great brewery. Will definitely come back.“

“The place was very clean and the ambience was perfect good smell the whole dining area ,staff very accommodating and very kind for sure will coming back again and again ♥️Parking: You can park Infront of the restaurant have a huge parking area“

“As I am becoming a regular patron of Friendly Stop Bar and Grill in Glendale, Ohio, I can confidently say it's become more than just a dining spot for me—it's a home away from home. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a big, friendly hug.What truly sets Friendly Stop apart is the sense of community it fosters. It's a place where locals gather to unwind, share stories, and create lasting memories. Whether you're catching the game with friends or enjoying an after work drink.In essence, Friendly Stop Bar and Grill isn't just a restaurant—it's a haven of hospitality, where good food and good company come together to create unforgettable experiences. If you haven't paid them a visit yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.Parking: There is plenty of off street parking“

“Trio is the best! Can't say enough good things about the food and service! Kaitlyn our server is beyond fantastic!“

“Our Adult Reading Book Club met here. This was everyone's first time visiting this location. Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. We are looking forward to returning for our Ladies night out. Marty's house salad and the Adult grilled cheese, are worth the purchase.“

“Once again came here for a specific wine which only two days past their delivery date, they were already OUT of( of course found that out AFTER ordering the food to go with it- seems to happen at this location a lot. However the waitress Mo was wonderful and the special they are running, the Chicken Francoise was amazing. Coopers is getting to be an overpriced restaurant to eat at -while their entrees I can agree with, the appetizers are way overpriced for what you get. 17$ for a plate of Brussels sprouts LEAVES? We have stopped coming as often because they aren't a good option anymore“

“always a taste treat with clever choices and healthy too.“

“The food was good as usual. I am not a fan of the new mets, however, as they seem to be smaller than the Hotdogs. I will say that over the years, the skyline has always had good food, but the price is less than to be desired. This is why, unfortunately, we eat chili dogs at home usually as you can usually get 2 to 3 times the amount of food compared to in resturaunt. I was also shocked when our bill came out to be more than what we would spend at a restaurant such as Olive Garden.“

“The BEST biscuits and gravy.. and well to be blunt the whole menu!! I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy this cafe!!!“
