    It's a 50/50 shot at this location. If your order is right / fresh / edible. I did try a new menu item today just to see if they stumbled on something. I ordered along with the rest of my wrong order a hot dog with chili and cheese. Maybe they didn't think this to go item through. It was completely spread over a 6 inch go container by time they put it in bag and handed it to me. Do better frisches.

    Where's the beef ?

    The manager did offer me a gift certificate, which I declined. Like I said, I will never go back !

    Granted it was early in the morning (right at opening) after a snowfall (no accumulation), but I was really disappointed with this place. Some of the food on the bar was cold or lukewarm at best. I think they must put them in the steam table to finish warming them. The service wasn't anything that's worth mentioning. There was no refill on the small coffee pot (3-4 cups) that was brought out. The biscuits were hard on the bottom (think dog biscuit) and not browned on top, and the gravy was runny. The only positive thing I can say is that the pineapple was ripe. You should avoid this place.

    Possibly the best burger I've ever had at a fast casual place and the milkshake was an A+ as well…read more 10 out of 10. Should eat again. It's just a shame that it's a 4.5 hour drive for me.

    Milkman, you were so, so, so good to me! I've never been into the restaurant, though I have gotten…read moreDoorDash once before. It was as delicious as I wanted it to be! When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

    First, the location was very convenient for dropping kids for a concert nearby and having dinner on…read moremy own. The place was busy but not packed. They were serving parties of different sizes indoors and out on a patio area. I had an impossible burger and fries which were both really good. They had good iced tea, too. The highlight of the whole experience for me, though, was my server Lanay. She was delightful. She was engaging, welcoming, and personable throughout. She was patient and easygoing, but she also had a lot of feedback and advice on the menu options. She checked on me regularly throughout my leisurely meal without ever making me feel rushed. I thoroughly enjoyed our interactions throughout the evening. She was a really excellent server and I hope the restaurant knows it. When I'm in that area again, this will make my list of options.

    I couldn't wait to write this review fast enough. I absolutely love this place -- it's officially…read moremy new Cincinnati go-to spot. I don't get to Cincy very often, but I was in town for work and this happened to be the closest bar/restaurant near us downtown that looked decent. Safe to say I got very lucky. The first time I went, I ordered the chili as a starter and a chicken tender platter. And when I tell you I was so happy with both -- I mean it. I love a good chili. I grew up eating it with my grandma, and this one tasted like something she would have made. The cheese and sour cream were perfect. I'm not a huge onion guy, but even those worked well with it. Now here's the catch... it was so good that I literally went back and ordered the exact same thing again. And somehow it was even better the second time. They really outdid themselves on both dishes. One thing I noticed the second time around: I asked for three sauces right away, and they brought them out on a plate with a built-in sauce area. It was actually really convenient -- perfect if you're sharing with people. Now let's talk about the tenders. I'll start by saying I know fried chicken pretty well. Pound for pound, these might honestly be the best chicken tenders in America. The easiest comparison I can give is this: imagine if Cane's and Zaxby's had a kid and named him perfection. That's what these are. Sometimes Cane's can be a little light on seasoning, and sometimes Zaxby's goes a little heavy. These are perfectly in the middle with a great crunch and just the right amount of seasoning. Another thing I really liked about this place is the versatility of it. It feels like the kind of spot where you could do anything -- happy hour with friends, a birthday dinner, a corporate dinner, or even a family night out. I love that kind of diversity in a restaurant. Just 10/10 ambiance. And the staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Honestly, writing this review is making me want to book a flight back to Cincinnati just to eat there again. Wow.

There were two tables of people there when we arrived and it was fairly quiet. We ordered and sat at a table and noticed there was seating outside so we moved outside to soak up some sunshine. My husband ordered a strawberry shake and large order of fries to split and we both had the single bacon cheese burger. I had mine on a gluten free bun. The burgers came out and our mouths fell open. They were beautiful with the beef, bacon, cheese, sliced onion and tomato and special sauce. We could just get our mouths open enough for a bite. Wonder how that works with the double burger. The first bite was WOW. Now this is what a burger should taste like. And the hand cut fries were delicious also. I tased my husband's strawberry shake and that was also excellent, so much so that he felt better that they were out of chocolate...lol. The chef asked us on our way out how our food was. We would definitely come back here for these burgers, fries and shakes done just right!

This place popped up & we thought it looked good, so we stopped in. The outside looked quite nice, as did the interior. There were plenty of seats inside, but we sat on the very large patio, since it was nice out. We ordered two bacon cheeseburgers, large fries & two drinks. Everyone we interacted with were very friendly! The burgers were HUGE & amazing in construction & taste!! The fries & Hansie sauce were very good, as were the fountain drinks. The prices were pretty good, well, especially since we got the singles & not the double burgers. One of the people even suggested another restaurant in town if we ever came thru again! How classy is that?! We will definitely be back if we are even remotely close to here in the future. I just wish they were closer to us.
