Darren and the gang at the Scioto Ribber aren't running a restaurant. They're preserving a national…read moretreasure with a smoker attached. I'll give you 20 top reasons this is why I believe this is Ohios best steak house : 1. Darren welcomes you with such casual hospitality that five minutes after sitting down you start wondering if you've accidentally been adopted. 2. The Scioto Ribber is so unpretentious that if a New York food critic walked in wearing a $3,000 suit, the steak would still be the most impressive thing in the room. 3. Some steakhouses sell atmosphere. The Ribber sells steak and lets the atmosphere happen naturally. 4. The menu has less ego than most restaurant owners. 5. The steak arrives looking like it just won a bar fight and a beauty contest on the same day. 6. Every bite tastes like somebody figured out how to barbecue a memory. 7. The char-smoked flavor is so unique that if you served it blindfolded, half the table would think they were eating at a ranch in Montana and the other half would think they died and went to beef heaven. 8. Fancy steakhouses spend millions trying to create authenticity. The Ribber accidentally has it. 9. The wait staff are professionals disguised as neighbors. 10. The service is so genuine that when they ask how you're doing, it feels like they actually want the answer. 11. Other restaurants train employees. The Ribber seems to raise them correctly. 12. The place has more Ohio character than a Reds game, a church festival, and a Fourth of July parade combined. 13. Some restaurants are experiences. The Ribber is an institution with mashed potatoes. 14. You don't leave feeling like a customer. You leave feeling like you attended a family reunion where everybody liked you. 15. The steaks aren't cooked. They're respectfully introduced to fire. 16. The outdoor wood-fired grill does things to beef that should probably require a permit. 17. If a steak could earn a blue-collar PhD, this would be it. 18. The flavor isn't subtle. It walks up, shakes your hand, and tells you exactly where it came from. 19. Most restaurants want to impress you. The Ribber doesn't care. That's why it does. 20. The value is so good that halfway through dinner you start looking around for hidden cameras because surely somebody forgot to charge enough. Bonus Five : 21. Darren runs the place with such affection and quiet pride that you get the feeling he'd rather lose money than let a guest have a mediocre meal. 22. In an era where every restaurant wants to reinvent dining, the Scioto Ribber has spent decades perfecting the radical idea of serving great food by great people. 23. The steaks have more smoke than a political debate but leave a far better taste in your mouth. 24. This isn't just Portsmouth history. It's Ohio history with a baked potato. 25. The Scioto Ribber proves that you don't need valet parking, mood lighting, imported marble, or a sommelier named Sebastian. Sometimes all you need is wood fire, great beef, hardworking people, and an owner who treats guests like family. The two blonds behind the bar are so sharp that hemophiliacs have to file a restraining order The Scioto Ribber is what happens when Americana, hospitality, common sense, and a wood-fired grill get together and decide to show the rest of the restaurant industry how it's done.

I've heard people call it "the best steak I've ever had," which mostly made me wonder... where else have y'all been eating steak? Feels like the philosophy here is: "Why focus on quality when we can simply give you enough meat to feed a youth baseball team?" That said -- the service is great, the atmosphere is classic local favorite energy, and you will absolutely not leave hungry. Cheers to you, want rush back-but may find myself here again.

I wasn't going to look for another restaurant in Portsmouth so I just ate downstairs. Boy, was I lucky! The food at Oscars was absolutely incredible. First, I had a Manhattan prepared by Christie. Top-notch. Service was incredible. Then I had a steak kebab dinner and I have to tell you it is the best kebab steak I ever had. Perfectly prepared vegetables were so fresh and moist. On top of a bed of rice it could not have been better. I cannot recommend this place Hylie enough. Again I was here because I'm in the hotel and I didn't wanna travel around Portsmouth to find a place. I'm glad I stayed here. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were in the area and we thought we would stop locally for dinner. Good idea on our end. Of course got the pickles and cheese curds for appetizer, SUPERB!! I got the crispy chicken wrap with the buffalo ranch. They did Asian Thai chili sauce instead (which I do not like) but I didn't have the heart to say anything. It would make a difference if they wrote down our order next time or something. The wrap had potential, but I didn't like the flavoring because of the sauce. I would definitely check this place out again if I am ever in the area.

My girlfriend ordered the chocolate chip milkshake it was horrible. It has shavings of chocolate in it, and they were conformed to the bottom of the cup. Meaning they poured the hot liquid chocolate in it. It got cold and got stuck to the cup so when we opened the cup, it just had chips of chocolate chunks in it, which couldn't even fit through the straw so when you take a drink, are you getting is the vanilla shake through the straw because the chocolate can't fit? The food is low grey food. We ordered fried pickles take one bite. The pickle comes out of the breading and you just sitting there holding a piece of bread with pickle with a whole pickle in your mouth because it just came out of it and I believe I ordered a corn dog Which also was horrible. The sauce was bland. It was very soggy far as the hotdog in the bun, no flavor, so yeah, I'll give this place two stars.

Specifically a twist cone or cup. In case you don't know, a twist means half vanilla and half chocolate. Because why should a girl have to pick one flavor;) Most of the visits included picking up an ice cream cake for my birthday as it is my cake of choice. I know what you're thinking, she buys her own birthday cake. YES, my parents are older so I pick it up and they pay me back lol! Dairy Queen's ice cream cakes are delicious! My favorite is chocolate crunch. But the last time, believe it or not, my dad picked up the cake and it was a Reese's. I thought he really messed up until I took the first bite. It was very good and not overly peanut buttery. It was a hit with the whole family! Stop in for soft serve, a sundae, an ice cream cake or now they sell ice cream cupcakes. That will be the next menu item I try!
