It seems odd that I'm giving a hole in the wall fast food restaurant a good review. Not some fancy refined food, may not seem anything special, but you know what, sometimes simple cheap fast food is what this grad student needs from time to time when looking for something filling on a student budget. And you can't go wrong with the lemonades. It seems like this place is popular for their frozen lemonades and I would totally comeback just for that especially in hot weather. All in all, will comeback to indulge in some of my favorite guilty pleasures or if I'm feeling down because of school and need some greasy food to make me feel better. read more

Cincy Steak and Lemonade - Crispy Chicken Sandwich. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Definitely worth it! For $10 I got a mixed chicken and steak philly, seasoned fries and frozen rainbow lemonade. Very filling lunch! I ordered take out, which is probably easier because the place is rather small. The philly was amazing and seasoned so well, the fries were okay (I think I didn't get a fresh batch or was a bit too late with my pick up). What a great lemonade, and I hope to get their shakes or other flavored lemonades! read more

Been coming here for years! Not as often as I use to though. The great news is that they're still consistent with there taste, the food was just what I needed. I'm out working in the sun and I was ready for lunch so I ended up here. This time I had the double fish sandwich. I killed it! Let's just say you won't be Finding Nemo anytime soon read more

Cincy Steak and Lemonade - This here is The Delicious Double Fish(cod) Sandwich!!! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

If you want a Deli experience, this would be the place. Heaping sandwiches with fries come flowing out of the back. Seating is limited, atmosphere is lacking, but quantity of food at a reasonable price. This is the place. Go to the counter order your food and you get a number. Food all comes out in a bag in a styrofoam box. But it will be flavorful. I had the Italian beef. It was heaping slices of roast beef with peppers. A little hot for my taste. But more than I could eat. Definitely worth the experience to come here. But I wouldn't bring a date. read more

Fast food isn't healthy but it tastes so darn good! It doesn't get any better than Steak & Lemonade in Clifton! I'm a sucker for gyros and S & L gives me exactly what I need. I'm honestly a fiend for them so I have to limit how many times I can go to Steak & Lemonade a month. There was one month where I went almost everyday but...that's a story for another day. One of those restaurants where you wouldn't expect the food to be so amazing but it is. The different flavored lemonades are absolutely to die for. I try a different flavor every time I go to see if I have a favorite and to this day I love them all. I may sound like I'm over hyping Steak & Lemonade but lets be frank when you love something you want the whole world to know and I love S & L. Super fast polite service and pretty cheap! Check it out when you can. read more

Whenever I'm in Clifton Cincy Steak & Lemonade is a legitimate option for food. This small, unassuming eatery offers a smorgasbord of food items. Burgers, gyros, wings, grilled cheese, fries. You name it and they have it. CS&L is awesome because everything they make, they make to order. This means you'll be waiting a little bit for your order but also that your food will be hot and fresh off of the grill. Everything here is really, really good. I usually go for a basic hamburger (which comes with Cajun seasoned fries) and I'm always full. The value of this place is awesome. About five bucks for anything on the menu. One of the best parts about this place are the shakes and frozen lemonades. They are absolutely delicious and round out any meal or snack. I highly recommend ordering one with whatever you get or even just by itself. Don't let the neon lights and rough around the edges building fool you. This is one awesome place to fill your bellies. read more

Don't let their name fool ya, their "milkshake brought this boy to the yard" and it was great. And they did charge me, ha ha. This place is situated on the same side as Bogart's and you can see the neon in the windows long before you step inside and smell the mix of gyro meat and other yummy stuff. I wish I hadn't eaten dinner before I visited, but I still had room for a shake; at least I thought, cuz geesh, they are pretty large. No need for supersizing. My Pineapple shake ($3.50) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/BLT_SofECQ25dq00oB5xmw?select=Sx6O7njyeIHe_W8mG5nCNQ came wrapped in plastic wrap with an orange slice and cherry through the straw. Neat! The pineapple flavor was nice and light as I expected. I quickly slurped it down wishing I would have saved some for later. The bench seats aren't the most comfortable but you'll probably be on your way long before you notice. Their menus stated that they would soon be open 24 hours, so this place might be great afterparty spot post Bogart's concert. *In the Bearcash coupon magazine, there's a coupon for free fries with any sandwich purchase. You can also print it out from http://www.bearcash.com/ucbc/index.html *Delivery available to local hospitals, $25 minimum order. read more

This is a good place to get cheap fast food as late as midnight. They have a huge selection of every type of junk fast food like burgers, whole wing chicken wings, gyros, chicken sandwiches, Philly cheese steak sandwiches, sausages/hot dogs, fish sandwiches, quesadillas, tacos, nachos, chicken tenders, fries, and chicken nuggets. But as the name says they also serve steak in the form of a sandwich or as a breakfast steak and eggs. As a matter of fact they have omelettes as well and other items such as fried okra, fried mushrooms, and fried jalapenos...and salads. And don't forget the lemonade which is like a frozen lemonade and milkshakes too. And nothing is expensive either. Cheeseburger $4.49, gyro $6.99, steak philly $7.99, milkshake $3.49. Many items for only a few dollars. I have tried the gyro, cheeseburger, fries, and milkshake. Once again this is fast food, nothing fancy, but it serves its purpose just fine. This is also a local business and not a corporate chain, more like a dive fast food place. I would rather support them than a big chain if I'm looking for junk food. The gyro was good and was pretty equivalent to most gyros that are available. The cheeseburger was fine for fast food, nothing special but not bad. The fries are good and have something that tastes like blackening spice sprinkled over them. The milkshake is a super sweet sugar explosion. I have tried the pineapple and the strawberry and like the pineapple better. But it is insanely sweet so for me I have to definitely be in the mood for some junk food I'm order to eat it. But I do like it and it had chunks of fruit in it. I usually stop in here not long before midnight and I'm sure I will continue to stop in when looking for that late night fast food meal. read more

I love the gyros here. I usually only order the gyros, but this time I ordered the gyro cheeseburger which is really good with lots of meat but not enough cucumber gyro sauce. Make sure to order an extra one on the side. I usually only order this pick up because there's very little seating inside just a couple of tables that are very tiny. This time we got delivery. Delivery cost $4. Everything was pretty cold but it still tasted good. If you get the combo there's a wide array of lemonade Icees that come with your food. read more

I've been here twice, pretty pleased. As mentioned in the picture the icee is very sweet, but I for one am all about that. I loved it, The chicken gyro was great and the fries ufff, loved it. Today was a nice warm day and it was a total turn off the fact that outside they had two group styled tables, and the 3 ppl out there were clearly together yet 2 decided to sit together on the table on right and the third she was in a wheel chair but come on, they could've sat together in one table... I'd suggest getting more separated smaller tables and maybe leave one of he group ones... seating is very limited as it is ... it'd be beneficial to have more outside atleast. read more

How have I not reviewed this place!! Blasphemy! Not only is this a notorious UC hangover cure, but their food is actually phenomenal sober. Back in the day Justin and I would go and spilt one chicken sandwich and one cheeseburger because we could never choose which was better. They both come with cajun fries. One of the few places that have thick fries! WIN! And the meal also comes with a giant frozen lemonade which we would take down on the walk home. I can't express how delicious this place is. They cook everything fresh and pretty much right there in front of you. You might have to wait a few minutes but I would gladly wait in line for the food here. Packed with flavor, never dry. This place is a must, but try not to get addicted. The only reason to drop a star, I would never eat in here. It's bright colored yellow and very loud inside. read more

Expensive for what you get. Food is decent, shakes are ehhh. Go to Al-Medina right around more and better same type of food for cheaper

Had their food on numerous occasions and it's the bomb I mean so freaking good. My family loves it to. Some of or favorites are the double cheeseburger, crispy Philly steak, chicken sandwich, and my baby like the chicken nuggets. Food always arrive hot, fresh and well seasoned. read more

The food here is excellent! The chicken is amazing with flavor, the rainbow lemonade is a like a splash of happiness in your mouth. Portions here are large and come with fries, which are also great! They have a few booths on the inside, but I've never actually seen anyone eating inside, just sitting in the booths waiting for their takeout. I would recommend calling and placing your order ahead of time. My only complaint is although it says that they deliver, every time I've called they've said not today. Aside from that, it's a must try in Cincinnati. read more

If I could do a half-star, I'd bump it up one more. It's not a mind-blowing eatery, but Cincy Steak and Lemonade was pretty solid. We ended up here because Goodfellas was unexpectedly closed. (Grrr, but it was okay--we got pizza the next day.) The vibe is basically slightly better than fast food--it's definitely better than McD's or similar, but it's still junk food for sure. It's counter service and the seating is limited, but we managed to get the last table. I had a cheesesteak and it was not bad at all. It wasn't glorious or anything, but I would probably eat this semi-regularly if I lived in Cincinnati. Hubs had a burger and had no complaints. He also ate half of my fries, so those must have been pretty okay, too. Final verdict: I wouldn't seek out this restaurant very often, but it does have a certain appeal that I would go back to. read more

Cincy Steak & NO Lemonade. DO: -Any sandwich will come with fries! -Italian beef. A lot of meat for the price. -I really like soft, slightly soggy fries, so I would recommend that (call me crazy). -The fries are lightly seasoned (somewhat like Cajun style) DON'T: -Skip the lemonade, unless you enjoy syrupy drinks. PARKING: -Street parking. Might be tough during school the year. Let me open this up by saying I'm a huge, like huge, italian beef and philly cheesesteak fan. Having been to Chicago and Philly numerous times, I cannot help but to love these iconic sammys. First, the Italian beef is extremely large. At first I thought it was the bread, but the serving of meat was equally monsterous. Up in Chicago land, you have the option to dip the sammy in the beef broth, but here it will always come semi-dipped due to the meat juice (the soggy bread is definitely a part of the full experience, so give it a try). The sammy is topped with giardiniera hot peppers. These little suckers will quickly build up in spiciness, so watch out. It's not perfect, but it was close enough to the real thing. The second sammy is the cheesesteak with everything except mayo. By everything I mean: tomato, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, lettuce, and white cheese (idk the exact type of cheese). When it comes to cheesesteaks, I'm a purist: bread, steak, and cheese whiz. That's all I need, but here they do it a bit differently. The green peppers, mushrooms, and onions are chopped up and mixed in with the meat. Then it is topped with lettuce and tomato. And somewhere between all of that is the cheese. The overall flavor is very different from the original philly cheesesteak, so keep that in mind. They also have gyros, chicken nuggets, chicken strips, cheese burgers, and super tacos stuffed with fries. Just skip the lemonade. $8.99 for sammy+lemonade+fries. $6.99 for sammy+fries. read more

he other day I found myself really wanting some damn good mediterranean food, so I headed to my favorite little dive spot... Unfortunately they were out of beef so I had to go around the corner and check out a place I'd heard nothing but good things about - Cincy Steak and Lemonade. I was starving when I walked in for a gyro with extra LTO and tzatziki. There were two people in front of me so I was honestly worried it'd take forever, but quite the opposite! They quickly shaved off the gyro meat, threw it on the flat top to get a good crisp on it, then loaded me up with veggies and sauce just like I asked! From there, a boatload of fresh fries tossed with seasoning and my order was good to go. When i got it home and opened the box I was at first a little unimpressed, from the top down it didn't look like much... but when I dug in I realized there was a LOT of gyro meat in there. The veggies were fresh and crisp, the fries still piping hot with a nice kick of seasoning salt, and the tzatziki provided the creamy balance you want in a good gyro. I won't say it's the best I ever had, but it was pretty close, and they definitely came through with a lot of food for my $7. Couldn't ask for more when they're open till midnight I know this is a spot to hit up during, or to prepare for, a late night! read more

Cincy Steak and Lemonade - Classic gyro with LTO, and lots of seasoning on the fries. Just what you need for a craving... as you can tell I couldn't resist it myself! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The food is all you can pay attention to here. There is nothing flashy or fancy about it, even the signature lemonade is all just simple sugary goodness, so do not judge it for lack of class or finesse. That said, the steak sandwich, fries, and lemonade combo for about $9 is about the best thing you can get in Clifton for greasy, heavy food(aside from Papa Dino's Bacon Cheese Fries). So if you want to get something to fulfill that craving, or need to wake up out of that hangover, this is the place to go. Pretty fast service, and it's not friendly in the professional type, but respectful in that sense that they know they are serving you food, so if you're nice to them, they'll treat you right. Yeah, that kind of thing. Definitely a positive experience, but if you're looking for the whole shabang, this is not your joint. read more

I enjoyed my experience with Cincy Steak and Lemonade. I got a cheese steak, fries and lemonade. The steak was tasty, although the seasoning on the meat was a bit odd for this type of sandwich. It had a ton of cheese and almost enough mayo. The fries were fries, nothing special, just something to break up the sandwich. Now the lemonade, that was interesting. First off, it was a slush. I wasn't expecting that. They offer many flavors, I got strawberry, of syrup to add to your drink. I enjoyed it immensely, just be warned it is more like a syrupy ice drink then a nice refreshing lemonade. The store is small and very cramped, I took my order to go. It is for sure a dive. If you are worried about cleanliness, I might avoid. Luckily I don't think there is anything wrong with a little honest dirt. The menu covers a wide range of items, from steaks to tacos to chicken wings. They have a bunch of different lemonades and shakes. The problem for me was, as I was eating my sandwich all I could think of was Penn Station. Everything I got would have been better AND been cheaper. I'm happy I tried Cincy Steak and Lemonade, and I'd go back, I guess, if it were really convenient. read more

Four stars-all for the chicken philly! I've had the steak philly, gyro and beef taco as well- and well glad I tried them, but won't again. But damn that chicken philly it raises my rating from the clutches of hell to a 4 star. Fries are alright, nice shake on them but always a little soggy. read more

Forget the chain restaurants in Clifton. This gives you twice the food for the same price as Panera and other restaurants in the area. As you walk in it has the hole in the wall flair and has the feeling of being in someone's kitchen. The warm aroma of pita and meat fill the air. I ordered the gyro combo with an Oreo milkshake and it really fills you up and warms you up on fall days like today. The gyro and milkshake really satisfied my pms cold hangry self. The fries are fluffy thick pieces of heaven and the seasoning is perfect. I tried them with ketchup and it just didn't taste as good without. The milkshake is bigger than my face and I wouldn't have it any other way. read more

I love this spot dawg. Cajun fries are on point and the lemonade is unmatched. Take yo girl here on a nice summer day for sure.

I wouldn't have expected to get such a delicious gyro from a "steak and lemonade" place. The portion sizes are very generous, the pita is fluffy and flavorful, and the tzatziki sauce is nice as well. The fries are also satisfying- I love that they're seasoned. To be honest I haven't tried anything else from their menu because the gyro sandwich option (which comes with a gyro and fries) is very very filling. Their other sandwiches look good too though. Overall, this is my go-to place in Cincinnati for gyros. I even prefer them over Chicago Gyros and Dogs. The only thing I wish they'd add to their menu is a side Greek salad; sometimes I don't have it in me to eat all those fries! read more

Rib eye sandwich was spectacular. Lemonade slush was awesome too. Planning to go back.

One of the better fast food options in the area but nothing had the major wow factor. Philly and chicken fingers are always a solid go to choice, and of course the lemonade. Very limited seating so best to get it to go. Also always taste a little better after a couple of alcoholic beverages. read more

After hearing about this place, I finally tried this and I must say it was really good. I had the philly steak w/ fries and my daughter tried the wings and fries. The fries have Cajun seasoning/other seasoning and you will definitely know. They really give you the bang for your buck as the portion size was more than I could eat, and I'm a big guy. Considering this was my first time, I could have easily given them four stars, so you will be very pleased. The guy taking our order was great. Just a couple words of caution as they only have four booths to dine inside, so if your lucky enough to get one, don't plan on eating there. Also they are a few doors down from Bogarts on short vine( Clifton- UC) so parking might be an issue. read more

Okay so I my doubts at first due to the service of a young lady. She was rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I ordered the Philly steak combo and tells me that it didn't come with the lemonade in which it did but instead of arguing I said okay. After she went to the back on break I guess, the atmosphere was pleasant. Another worker was very nice and helpful and he was able to give me the lemonade that came with my order! My Philly steak was super tasted awesome best one I had in awhile, it was big enough to share but ate it all myself! the fries were delicious and not overcooked or greasy which is a big plus for me. I was able to get just the plain ole lemonade which was really good. Despite the bad service from the young lady I would definitely go back. read more
