The service was absolutely phenomenal. Jessica, our server, made my day. She was so sweet and so efficient. The food was top tier. I can't wait to go back and bring my friends! read more

This place should open a second location closer to norwood . Its awesome and from my understanding they do weekly specials as well as daily specials and different theme nights like trivia, karaoke, bingo, etc. The staff is nice enough and the food was delicious, the menu is super extensive. Ill be back when on this side of town ! read more

We are on Ohio Pike and thought we would try a new restaurant called David's kitchen + bar. They have live music tonight, the Kevin McCoy band. Great country music. We chose to sit on the patio even though it's only 50°. It is closed off and heated. I had a New York strip 12 oz size perfectly cooked with a baked potato and a salad. My lady had the steak Diane fillet with a baked potato and a Caesar salad. Both the steaks were very tender and cooked properly with a nice sear on them. Service was very good., we were seated immediately, waited on quickly & the food arrive on time It was nice that the owner stopped by at our table to make sure everything was perfect. She wants this is a great find on the east side. We added it on our list of places to go. read more

I have now visited David's three times, and I cannot say enough nice things about the fantastic neighborhood gem. The atmosphere and warm friendly staff are perfect. The food is wonderful. Huge fan of the salmon BLT. The pretzel and brussel sprout appetizers are both yummy! They also have fun events. Music, trivia, paint and sips....check them out soon! read more

We went here for lunch yesterday with family, a 12 top. Our server was Alyssa. We waited as long as we could for part of our party. Alyssa was patient. We finally ordered without the late comers. Even with the order finally in the wait time was very long, though not the server's fault. We heard the kitchen staff was short, but still. The food began to trickle out, with the first item being my salad, I loved that the salad plate was cold, then ten minutes later three others received their food, and so on, you get the picture. The late comers finally arrived and now Alyssa had to readjust her management of the table with seat changes and etc. Anyhow, that's how the delivery of food went. The food itself was not a treat. Some at the table ordered the Cod Basket, including myself, and they were pretty much cold and greasy and unenjoyable. I'm not sure about other folks, but I did not hear anyone raving about how good their meal was. The ambiance was kind of fun, though the small back room where we were was loud. I felt sorry for the other two tables that had to endure the noise. I feel that Alyssa did her best considering all circumstances. I will say that the floor was very slippery with the wetness from the rain, almost icy-like slippery. Be warned on a rainy day. Sorry to say that we will not be back for a return visit. We have too many lunch options between my house and David's Kitchen and Bar. read more

Stopped in for a beer and some dinner. Enjoyed a couple of cold Yuenglings, fresh garden salad and a delicious Black and Blue Burger. Great service at the bar tonight. I'll be back here soon. read more

Do not complain about anything. Especially warm beer. I have been banned from all of these "family" restaurants because the beer was in fact warm. Food was great, staff great, owners horrible expletives, ambiance was good. read more

My family decided to visit the newly opened David's Kitchen + Bar for Sunday lunch. Good choice. The place is friendly and service is excellent. We started with the Saratoga chips followed by entrees of Salmon Florentine, chicken Caesar, burger and baked potatoes. Everything was yummy and well cooked. I will give this place another visit and you will want to as well. read more

David’s Kitchen & Bar - Exterior - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is my third time at this restaurant and it's been positive up to today. We got here on Mother's Day at 4:30. They were already out of there pork chops, which is a main course. How can you not anticipate a big crowd on a major day? Even though the menu clearly says you can upgrade to a signature side, we were told that was a typo. Then mash potatoes aren't available till after 5, on a popular holiday, even though the menu make no mention of that. They took a special date and really cast bad vibes on it. read more

Was not terrible but for the price could get a bigger Burger at Burger King and taste the same. After reading some reviews had higher hopes. read more

The fried mozzarella is a must have! I would also recommend their signature giant soft pretzel. read more

David’s Kitchen & Bar - Fried Mozzarella - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is such a hidden gem. Truly! We've been to this establishment multiple times. Every single thing, down to the signature cocktails have been incredible. Pretzel app, best cheese squares I've ever had! Burgers, amazing. Chicken sandwiches, incredible! Fries, so good (and I'm really not a French fry fan) every single thing we've ever had here has been amazing. All the food and condiments are house made. I absolutely love this place. Worth the 30min drive for us. Don't miss out on this incredible family owned restaurant. read more

Great food, ambience, and service! The new pork chop was delicious. The pretzel is a must have and is gargantuan!

First time trying the new David's restaurant. Interior of the restaurant wasn't changed much from previous one. Staff was prompt and efficient. Our fish sandwiches were hot, crispy and delicious. Probably one of the best I've had. The grilled asparagus was seasoned a little salty but had a freshly grilled taste. Technically their fries were waffle fries. They are not my husband's favorite but he ate them readily. We will try the Saratoga chips next time. This is a pleasant place on the East side of town to have lunch or dinner. read more

Great food and a hidden gem of the east side! I had a ribeye and my wife had salmon and both were phenomenal and at a great price. Beers are cold and vibes are good. They did have a neat little covered patio bar but we sat inside. Will definitely check the bar out on our next visit. read more

We are moving to this area so we looked for local restaurants. We ate here twice in one week! So far, we've eaten the short rib sandwich, the Philly cheese steak, chicken tenders, and the chicken bacon ranch flat bread. It was all so good! The fries are AMAZING! The staff were super friendly and the service was great. We look forward to making this our new local favorite. read more

A buddy of mine was playing music and we decided to go check this place out. It was amazing!!!! From the food to the staff. All 5 Stars. I was blown away by the fried cheese for starters. They take a chunk of fresh sliced cheese and batter it with this amazing breading and fried perfectly. I wanted to steal more off other people's plates. Then they made a french fry like I've never had. So good. Those came with this Hot Chicken sandwich with slaw which was the best one in the city. I will 100% be back. The waitress told me that they do all kinds of cool stuff during the week. Karaoke, music , and a vinyl night where a DJ plays your album you bring. And if all that's not enough. Everything was freshly made and the prices were very reasonable. The owner David made some rounds and was fun and great to talk with. Love this place!!!!! read more

Excellent food and service. Clean. Owner involved venue. Well worth a visit. I'm sure we will be back soon.

Quality of the food could improve. A fish sandwich for $20 that didn't even cover the bun is appealing to me. The servers were great everyone was nice. I like that there was a beer garden with a band. It's a great idea if you're just drinking, I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

The food was so good! The burgers and mac & cheese are amazing. It's a little loud inside for my taste. It's very hard to have a conversation but other than that it's really great. read more

I took a friend there for her birthday dinner. This was the first time there for both of us, and we will definitely be coming again. The food was great, everything was cooked perfectly, and the service matched the food in excellence. Our server was Kendall, and she made us feel welcome and always checked to make sure everything was fine. I live on the Westside of town, and my friend lives in Amelia. If you ever consider opening another location, the Westside could use a restaurant like yours! read more

We've been here a few times and have had a great experience each time! The staff is friendly and the food is consistently good. It's nice to have a good restaurant in this area! read more

Had lunch here today. Very enjoyable. The BLT salad was very fresh and tasty. The pesto chicken sandwich was delicious. Reasonably priced. Large portions. Our server, Bella, was friendly and attentive. The place looks great! Can't wait to go back for dinner soon! read more

service: 5/5 Price: reasonable Sweet tea: not too shabby Mac n cheese: 5/5 Dry rub wings: 2/5 that was different not my cup o tea Pretzel: 4/5 yummy but a tad too big, queso solid Fish n chips: 5/5 Looking forward to coming back to try a burger and steak read more

Best dining experience we've had in quite some time. We arrived at the restaurant around 7pm on a Saturday night, party of 2 and we were told about a 35 minute wait. However we had just enough time to get a drink at the bar and we were called to our table maybe 5 minutes after we arrived. Appetizer and Dinner was made to perfection, both of us had steaks, my wife got the steak Diane and I the ribeye. All night the owner Mr. David was out in the dining room making sure everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves. They had a one man band playing and singing, not to loudly but just enough to add to the whole experience. If ou have a chance, I highly advise giving them a try, it is worth it. read more

Awesome food and a great lunch menu! Patio has warmers and was a fun spot to catch a game. Definitely will be back.

Hottest new place on the east side!!! Heard about this place from a friend and had to go! It's hard to match outdoor music & bar with GREAT food but somehow they did it!! I had a burger and it was PERFECTION!!! Well seasoned & cooked and delicious. Better than I recently had at a high end restaurant downtown. You gooooooooo!!! Tip big for local!!! read more

David’s Kitchen & Bar - Menu - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Had to go back for round 2! Thursday at 5:30 busy busy busy! Seated within 5 minutes very quick with our beverages. I ordered the seasonal salmon Florentine. Charbroiled salmon fresh cut. served over sautéed spinach and peppers and capers in a lemon butter sauce. Absolutely divine, salmon cooked to perfection and very very hot. The spinach was not overcooked and very flavorful in the lemon butter caper sauce. I highly recommend I will be returning to check out other menu items. Great job. They have warmed the dining area up from the previous owner, which makes it a much more casual and comfortable dining experience. read more

We stopped by for a quick bite and a drink and sat at the bar. Our bartender was very friendly and we found that a manager there was someone we'd known for some time. Jordan, you helped make us feel right at home. Good food, good service and a pleasant atmosphere. read more

We tried it for the first time last week and liked it so much we came back a week later and brought someone else to try it. They agreed.

Wonderful food, good service, and warm atmosphere! I highly recommend David's Kitchen & Bar for a great meal

This was our first visit to David's for our family of 5 and I have to say the experience was average for a Saturday. We were seated right away upstairs. There was live music but it was much quieter where we sat, making it easier to communicate with our kiddos. My husband and I both agreed we would love to come back for a date night. The menu is very heavy in appetizers and sandwiches which seemed a little off given it was dinner time. Maybe try a smaller menu with more seasonally appropriate specials or separate lunch and dinner menus to better highlight the sandwiches. Obviously it's personal preference but I just wouldn't typically go for a sandwich at dinner time. Food started strong with the giant pretzel (definitely try the mustard). It was very fresh and came out super hot. I really wanted to rave about the short rib because it was cooked beautifully and absolutely tender but it was missing some acid. A balsamic or red wine reduction would have put it over the top. I could also tell it was sitting a little while before they brought it out as it wasn't even remotely hot. The garden salad was an afterthought. Spring mix of greens that was a little brown with pre-shredded cheese and bottled Italian dressing. I'm not expecting a side salad to blow my mind but it left a lot to be desired. The fries were a big surprise. They had that fresh cut vibe and reminded me of the duck fat fries from taste of Belgium. You could make an entire menu around loaded fries they were so good. I love seeing out of the ordinary items on the kids menu. The steak bites were a creative idea, but my sons were well done and a little challenging for him to eat. Next time I'd ask for them to be cooked closer to med-rare. My kids love dips, so it would have been more enjoyable for them to have some dip options too (not detracting points for this, just a suggestion). As far as service, our waitress seemed stressed. She was trying her best to be attentive but we would go long periods of time without seeing her and she wasn't super engaging. I do wonder if it had to do with where we were seated or some sort of breakdown in systems. Being upstairs seems like a logistical nightmare for waitstaff! There were a few other things that I felt could be improved that I won't go into since I've already written a book. Overall, not a bad experience. I love getting to support a local business, trying food that's a little more out of the ordinary and would love to go back another time to see if it was just an off night. We need more out of the box restaurants so my advice to the David's team is to just keep refining. You're so close to being a really special place that your community will cherish! read more

Best Cod Basket i have ever had. Service was great. Would love to eat there more but prices are high.

The food is amazing. The drinks are plentiful and all the people that work. There are happy you can't ask for more than that.

We were seated and then never saw anybody again. We watched the people seated after us, get their drinks and then have their orders taken and we couldn't even get the attention of anybody. Ultimately, we left and told them why. It's OK because now I am having a lovely cup of coffee at Butterbees. read more

Keep up the great work Jocelyn and crew at David's! ....oh, and I almost forgot about the tavern fries - if you go there, you can't Not order them!! read more
