Went to Chandler's last night little after 10. Google says they are open til 11. We went in and this waitress comes out yelling "y'all tryin to eat!?!" Every one in the restaurant looked at us because she was so fucking loud....my bf said yes. And she put her watch in his face and said" its 3 minutes to late. We close at 10." I said the internet says 11. She said that's fri and sat. Umm no. Today. Google uses current times and dates... So I dont know if we will ever go back. She was so fucking rude. Chandler better check the times on Google I bet 90% of patrons use google to find out times and location of its establishment. I posted the info on fb for them and they responded that they are open until 11 but kitchen closes at 10. so if you decide to go make sure you're there before 10. edit: Staff sent me a message apologizing for confusion they are in fact open until 11 but kitchen closes at 10. They also deleted my review from facebook. read more

I had high hopes to this place but didn't meet the expectation or probably didn't order the right food. We had Nati Melt and the musketeer and it was very salty. The fries was soggy and "chips" came from boxed store brand. The staff was super nice and clean bathroom. read more

The burger wasn't seasoned and was frankly mediocre at best. I decided to try the smoked wings, they weren't smoked and clearly came straight from a fryer. I would recommend this place. read more

I love their nati' melt it's what I order every time I go. i like it a lot definitely recommend

This past Saturday night my wife and I found ourselves on the west side of town for an event starting in the early evening. We originally intended to finally try the Incline Public House late in the afternoon, but we ended up very short on time so we dropped into Chandler's Restaurant instead, which happened to be very near our evening destination. Chandler's is a family style restaurant located along Cleves Warsaw Pike at the intersection with Ebenezer Road. My wife and I, both in our early thirties, were easily the youngest there. It seemed that most of the other tables in the place were occupied by regulars as they were often greeted by name by the restaurant staff. However our service was great and they made us feel like they truly appreciated our patronage. I ordered the ham and turkey club sandwich on grilled sourdough with fries. The sandwich was served dry but came with a packet of mayonnaise that I gladly emptied on top. It arrived steaming hot and came topped with bacon and sliced tomato. While it was fairly standard club, I did enjoy the sandwich quite a bit. My wife had the pineapple teriyaki grilled chicken sandwich with fries as well. She is a sucker for pineapple teriyaki anything. The pineapple topping was obviously straight from a can, but she enjoyed this sandwich nonetheless. Again, it was a pretty standard sandwich but it was well prepared and tasted good. That is exactly what you should expect at Chandler's, good food for a great price with speedy and friendly service. read more

Came here in Saturday- four days after (re)opening at 5 o'clock and the parking lot was already full. We had to wait fifteen minutes for a table, which we were fine with (but definitely surprised by considering how early it was!) Once we got seated, we ordered some beers and pub pickles. The beers and kid drinks came in a timely manner, but sadly, our pickles never came, and we had to wait 40 minutes for our food. It was a mad-house! The kids had a really difficult time being patient as they were hungry when we got there. When our food came, it was pretty good. Nothing to rave about. The man-friend and I both ordered our burgers medium rare and they came out medium well. Sad face. Our gourmet patties were the same size as the kid's, which seemed a bit strange. Our waitress was super personable and attentive and took the pickles off our bill once realizing they never came, but definitely wasn't the experience or burger heaven close to home we were hopeful it might be. That being said, will have to give it a second chance given that they had just (re)opened once things die down a bit! read more

Chandler Burger Bistro is one of the biggest restaurant comebacks I have ever seen. It is on Cleves Warsaw Pike on the West side of Cincinnati. This is one of those restaurants that has TOTALLY reinvented themselves into something amazing. I had been to Chandlers diners eons ago when I lived on the West side. I hated it. The food was stuff that my grandma would make for family meals. Think turkey and gravy or meatloaf. Chris (the ex-husband) liked it, but I did not. So when someone told me I had to check out Chandlers I was a little more than apprehensive. Finally after some pics I saw on Facebook I decided to give it a second try. From the outside it doesn't look super impressive. It's in a strip-mall and due to the weather the patio is covered in plastic. But once I went inside-WOW. What a transformation. It looked so different I couldn't remember what the old place even looked like. The decor was modern and nice, but the best part about this place was the service. The bartender was our server and I can not rave about her enough! She was so sweet and attentive. She was talking to Lauren and giving recommendations. Every patron that walked into the door while we were there knew her and she gave them hugs. Just based on her alone, its the kind of place I would go all the time if I lived close. The food was 1 million times better than before. We started off with the Macaroni Gouda bites. ($6.99) Holy hell- I'm glad Lauren doesn't like cheese, because I ate them all and didn't want to share. They were soooo good. I could eat those everyday for the rest of my life and be a happy camper. Just seeing the pictures again makes me hungry! For dinner, Lauren got (shocker) chicken wings. The sauce was sweet and they were cooked really well. I have heard they have a great garlic sauce for wings too, but didn't try them. I am so mad at myself. This place is suppose to have awesome burgers. I ordered this pineapple and teriyaki sandwich that I thought was a burger but was actually chicken. 100% my fault. It said chicken right on the menu. It was good, but next time I go back, I have to get a burger! I'm so glad the westside is getting all these great places to eat. Price hill chili and Sebastian's have always been there, but with new additions like Incline Public House and now Chandlers- I'll be eating over there a lot more. read more

Quite possibly the best queso in town. Buffalo chicken wrap was delicious. If you're reading this during social distancing, order extra queso. Do it. read more

We love this place and whenever we get to this side of town, we make a point to stop. It's got a great local beer selection from Rhinegeist to Taft's to 50 West, along with other favorites like 3 Floyd's and Great Lakes. So there's that. And it's not your average bar food so if the pictures are telling you that, don't believe it. It's definitely not health food but so delicious. I had the Cuban (Le Cubano) and consider myself a Cuban snob - it's gooood! Staff is friendly, service is fast, atmosphere is alive. Highly recommend! read more

Had the macaroni gouda bites and 12 boneless parm garlic. Has to be the best Mac and cheese bites, ever. The sauce was great, too. Still haven't found a parm garlic to compete with BW3, but that's creamy and this is butter based. Different animals. The chicken was lightly breaded, deep fried and overall good. read more

The pretzel appetizer was good but the server skipped me on the drinks order and then skipped me on the food order. she never came back to rectify the mistake after we notified them. I left. read more

Well, I'd been looking forward to trying this place for a while. Upon arrival I was impressed at how large the place was. Think upscale sports bar atmosphere with small outdoor seating area. Super friendly staff. Beer time. Slightly disappointed with selection on tap, were out of a few things listed too, but very pleased my glass was frosty! Apps. We had the cheese stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious, but a little pricey for just 6 small caps. Behold, the burger. I had the panther, which had great Cajun flavor! Little disappointed as it was not medium, but instead well done, and kind of small. I had envy for my friends Big Chandler which included some of the best goetta I've tasted. Fries were decent. All in all, I'll definitely try it again. read more

Pretty nice place! And GREAT food!! I can't say there's anything bad about this place.. It's always packed! And the service is fast! read more

I really enjoyed our dining experience and food at Chandler's! Went for the first time, last Saturday - it was very busy (love to see packed small businesses!). The wait was only 30 minutes - it went by fast. Our service was awesome even though she was super busy. Loved the fun appetizer choices AND that the menu was simple. We got the fried pickles and macaroni gouda bites (we were being indecisive) as appetizers. The fried pickles were good - not the best I've ever had but a solid fried pickle. (love the homemade ranch) The macaroni gouda bites were awesome! Lots of gouda gave the bites some BITE. My only complaint there was the COLD marinara dipping sauce = wrong and gross. My husband got The Big Chandler (goetta and fried egg on a burger? Hells yah!) and I got a Bacon Cheeseburger. Loved that the burgers were simple - ground chuck (from Bridgetown Finer Meats!), salt and pepper - no fillers or added craziness. Buns (from Servatti's!)were perfect - great addition to a fabulous burger. Fries need a little help but the onion rings were tasty. :) I would absolutely suggest Chandler's as both a great place for a casual dining experience AND for a great burger. A couple of notes - I've seen complaints about parking? The parking lot is huge! If you have to walk 15 spaces, it's going to be okay. I promise. While we were there, 3 people said, "Oh, they said we could sit AT the bar and eat - we can sit at these tables, right?" Um, no. That's the bar area - where ALL the tables are. You can sit AT the bar and eat. Play nice and wait like everyone else - it's not do whatever the hell you want to do day. read more

I love Chandler's Burger Bistro. My boyfriend and I go there regularly and I hand out coupons to my friends and family who haven't been to encourage their patronage as well. Chandler's offers a plethora of unique burgers most of which are named after fun Cincinnati mascots and characters such as The Panther, named for the Elder High School Panthers, The Highlander, named for the Oak Hills High School Highlanders, and The Melt St. Joe, named for The College Of Mount Saint Joseph. My favorite, The Who Dey Burger, is named for the Cincinnati Bengals and features fried Gouda cheese bites, lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, and a delicious spicy sauce. I personally am a vegetarian, so I order mine with no bacon and a vegetarian patty. One of my favorite things about Chandler's is that they offer not just one, but two options for vegetarian burgers. Chandler's also boasts a fantastic craft beer selection, which is a big plus to me. At the moment that I'm writing this they offer Rhinegeist, Braxton, Mt.Carmel and much more. The decorum is quite nice; it gives the feel of a slightly upscale burger joint, which is fitting, but I'd still feel very comfortable going there in shorts and a t-shirt. The wait staff has always been very hospitable and friendly to us, but I find that the service is usually better at lunch than it is at dinner/late night. This is, of course, most likely due to the fact that they are busier during dinner. All things considered Chandler's is my favorite spot for burgers and one of my favorite places to frequent in Cincinnati! Don't hesitate to give it a try, you'll be hooked after your first burger! read more

Melt St. Jo burgers and mahi mahi fish and chips were delicious! Service was perfect too. Going at 1:30 in the afternoon was just the right time for lunch during the week. read more

Service was great, food was pretty good, had stiffed mushrooms, Trojan burger while my husband had naked boneless Parmesan wigs ore fiends ordered burger with sauerkraut balls which were pretty amazing, while my burger was not fully cooked too pink, but the edges were cooked pretty flavorful and my husbands naked wings a little too done and dry for the most part. If it weren't for the service and sauerkraut balls i would have given it a 3 star! Might be back i that way again read more

Some of the better bar food in Cincinnati. Nice environment, super friendly people and burgers that just won't quit. I don't eat macaroni bites often, but when I do it here. You will like everything on the menu. Good selection of brews too. read more

Pretty decent burgers with a wide selection of bears named after local things/places. They have pretty good wings & sauces too. Only qualm with them is they don't have a voicemail or many people working the phones when they're busy you can't get a hold of them. read more

It's a good place to get a burger. Clean nice people good amount of beer selections and food is okay.

Best burgers in the city! The wings are awesome too. Great service and lots of beers on tap.

A Westside Burger classic. Service is always friendly and you can always catch a game on the tube. Beer selection is phenomenal. You can find fried delights or healthy veggies. Strongly recommend! read more

I visit here for dinner and drinks often! Recently, I was there on a Saturday night. They had no problem with us waiting for our table at the bar and one drink later we were seated! The atmosphere is pleasant, but it definitely has a bar-and-grill feel. It's a little brighter than Johnny's down the street. I ordered one of my favorites - the Big Chandler - and I was not disappointed. All the burgers I have had there have been really good. The amount of food you get is more than enough for the price. My one gripe is that the food can be overly salty at times; However, it's a classic burger and fries meal, a good amount of salt is to be expected. The bar is another great feature - it's full service with a good selection of craft beer. Overall, I'm always happy at Chandler's and will keep coming back! read more

Good local burger joint to please the whole family. The parking lot is super packed every time I've been here. So if anyone isn't as mobile let them out at the front door. The dining room is clean and covered in tvs! So if you need to keep up with some type of sport, yeah, it's the west side of course you do, then they have you covered! The burgers are large and delicious. The variety is great and the side dishes are pretty standard. I like the BBQ burger and my husband enjoys the one with the fried egg! What?!?! read more

The good: Good burgers at a decent price. The appetizer was Craft Beer Cheese Pretzels and was delicious. The bad: My daughter's meal, kids Mac & Cheese, was seriously box Kraft Mac & Cheese. It wasn't even the better shells and cheese, either. She was seriously disappointed. The parking lot had ZERO spaces open, causing us to drive around until one opened, but somehow there were plenty of open tables? Not looking to go back anytime soon. It's not bad, but I'm not dying to eat there, either. read more

This place is horrible for a number of reasons. Not only waited an hour for food, the waitress never returned until she brought me what looked like, yesterday hot box food. Brioche bun looked like a week old butternut bun out of the discount aisle economy pack that sat under a heat lamp for an hour.... it crumbled. What a sad lil bun. I literally felt sorry for it. A failure of a burger, considering I went there bc this place was voted 2nd best burger in cincy...... pffffffffffft. We decided to leave at that point and the intoxicated owner followed & proceeded to yell at us out front of the business, cussing and yelling for not liking the food and told us never come back. Guess what, you're the asshole and we won't. read more

Amazing place! The burgers are delicious and they get all their meat and bread from local bakeries and meat stores!

Ok i heard alot about the burger at this place but never had tried to find place as it is a little tucked away in delhi. Well i can tell you the burger i had was mighty tasty and the fries were very good also. The atmosphere was very friendly and thats a must when i take my little one with me. Give them a try you wont be disappointed. read more

The burgers should be good if you have the word burgers in your company name, right? Not if your on the west side of town. Grease doesn't make a burger good nor does making up names for burgers. Please cover the basics first. Fresh meat, salt and pepper, cook to temp, rest and serve. read more

We always have a good meal at Chandler's. Servers a friendly, food is great. It can get loud on FFriday and Saturday evenings, but it makes for a fun atmosphere. read more

Normally good food. Wanted to order some wings to go last night on a Thursday night. We called in and they answered and put the phone down and walked away and I sat on the phone for 10 minutes. Didn't put us on hold could hear everything in the restaurant. We could tell they were busy so we decided to just go in and eat. We sat for 20 minutes without any service. We decided they were too busy and left. I let the nearest employee know that we didn't get serviced and he said "ok sounds good man. Bye." As we were leaving the server walked over and asked the gentleman why we were leaving and they just laughed about it. No one apologized or explained anything to us. Disappointing from a place we usually enjoy. read more

Took my kids & 4 yr old & 2 yr old grandkids to dinner. There's a big miss here, in my opinion. They have kids meals which include a drink, but don't have milk or any juices. Choices were soda, lemonade and water. Yet one of the kids meals was macaroni & cheese (which seemed to come out of a box). Do they make it with water or milk???? There's no milk in the kitchen or at the bar? Hard to believe they chose not to serve milk to kids. Adults got burgers & wings, which were so-so. Pricing was pretty decent, but nothing special here food-wise. Won't go back to a place that has coloring to keep the little ones busy, but no milk or apple juice for them. read more

Definitely a good spot for a group of friends that wants to enjoy a few beers, eat a good burger, and watch a game! Very clean for a West side restaurant, friendly staff, and decent prices. Nothing super outstanding but nothing would hold me back from returning. They have options for every type of eater. Flexible tables can accommodate for big groups. read more

We have been wanting to stop in and glad we finally did! I had a burger with fried mushrooms, pickles, lettuce and a garlic mayo. It was very good. Great to read that the meat comes from Bridgetown finer meats. My husband had smoked wings with the Asian zing sauce- also very good! Portion sizes were perfect. Beer was cold. Service was fast and friendly. The place was clean, well decorated without feeling uncomfortable. We will be back! read more

Yum! Delicious burgers! I had the Highlander (without cheese) and it was perfect! I enjoyed every bite and can't wait to come back and have it again! Fries were hot and tasty, and even better dipped in a side of ranch ( 50 cents) Will definitely be back the next time I am in that area. read more

Chandler's Burger Bistro - The Highlander without cheese, very tasty! - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The mac and gouda bites are as phenomenal as everyone says but the burgers are just decent; nothing to write home about. I had the Westsider burger, which came with American cheese, fried pickles and onions, and tartar sauce. It was far too salty and runny. Husband's was the chef burger, which is a basic burger with LTO and cheese. He added bacon, which was crispy and delicious and better than the actual burger. Service was great-fast and friendly, and the food came out fast too. This is a decent burger place, but not worth the 45 minute wait. I'll try it again after the newness has worn off. read more

Went here with my mom and it was a great find! Great burgers and a really good selection of beers too. I had the Highlander with cheddar, onion rings on top and BBQ sauce and was very good. My mom had the Bearcat with cheddar, bacon and ham on top. Good size burgers and fresh cut fries. We had the queso as an appetizer and that was solid with a hint of chorizo and jalapeños in it. I'd maybe try it with pretzels or something next time. Lots of TVs, clean inside, really nice staff. Will definitely return! read more

I've visited several times, but no trip was as good as the first. We went about a month after they opened and I recall them asking the temperature we'd like out burgers. They don't do that anymore. And the actual burger tastes like a pre-pressed pattie now. I did at one time claim this to be the best burger in the city, not anymore. read more
