We celebrated our Pastors birthday and the food was excellent. Our server was Kristian who was fabulous. She really fit in with the 2 ladies and myself making our experience that much more memorable. We definitely will be back. We give the restaurant and Kristian five stars. Linda read more

We had a wonderful meal and great drinks. After driving all day from Dallas on our way to Cincinnati- we decided to stop by the Tavern for a meal. We almost didn't due to previous low ratings and so glad we ignored them. The food was fresh and very well done. Highly recommend salmon! We ate at the bar and enjoyed talking with the very personable bartender. Overall a great experience. read more

I was amazed at the grandeur and beauty of this place - it looked like a country club. The vibe was truly early 20th century upper class. Sadly for us, I was only getting takeout. You enter a classy foyer to be greeted by a well dressed hostess. There are multiple beautifully appointed dining rooms. Greyhounds abound in the decor. We split a chicken salad croissant sandwich and a Reuben on rye. Both were amazingly delicious and even the coleslaw was memorable. They were packaged up so nicely, including the requested utensils (we were staying in a hotel) and handed off to me in a big sturdy shopping bag. There's a big private parking lot and a small outdoor seating area. The exterior is gorgeous too. Next time we find ourselves in NKY I am definitely making reservations here! read more

We loved this place. It's charming - like an old house converted to a restaurant, with multiple rooms and charming period decor. We were seated in a booth in a quietish room and it was lovely - we could hear each other and see other spots but it was a bit like being in our own little world. The food was great. I had the Alaskan halibut with crab and creamy risotto and I loved it. My husband had the pecan-crusted chicken. We both had salads, and I ordered a piece of carrot cake to go. I thought we were going to rent a U-Haul for that piece of cheesecake. It was about 1/4 of a big cake. It was good...not my favorite carrot cake, but good. Lovely experience and will definitely come back - so much better than the chains everywhere in Crestview Hills area. read more

We stopped in for dinner and they were busy this Wednesday night. We all ordered chicken. I had the bean soup and spinach salad along with green beans and mashed potatoes. This fried chicken was simply the best I've ever had. It was juicy and had a very thin crust bursting with flavor. All of my sides were very good. I can see why they're not bashful in the price on this meal. Service was spot on I will return. I need to try the Sunday Brunch read more

Excellent brunch. Then r famous fried chicken a hit. Biscuits and gravy fresh fruit and waffles! Great atmosphere and nice staff and servers. Thanks. read more

Wait time: no wait with reservations on Christmas Eve Atmosphere: cute, little classy but relaxed place. Service: over abundance of workers. Several servers standing in corner talking, lots of hostesses standing at the stand, lots of others standing around the buffet chatting. Not sure if this is why it took our server a while to come over to us and get our drinks Food: We had the buffet, standard breakfast items, bacon was a little smoky, goetta was very good and wasn't as hard and crunchy as it has been in the last. Fried chicken is the best in the area. Ham and the sauce they had for it was a Christmas-y delight. Price: $$$ Cleanliness: 8/10 read more

We called this morning to reserve a Sunday brunch for two and they set us up for 12:45. We got there by 12:35 and the host (short man in his 30s with a slight limp) told us that we will be seated at exactly 12:45. We sat on the adjacent couch next to the host stand and waited. Guest with and without reservation were seated in less than a minute after the approached the host. At 12:47 and the parlor is completely empty with guest, we approached the host and asked when are we going to be seated...instead, he randomly punch his tablet and told us to wait some more time. We left...obviously because of what we perceived as discrimination. read more

This has been a favorite in my family for years! I went for the first time a few weeks ago with my parents and my brother. We split a ton of appetizers and had drinks before our meal. I loved the Goetta Egg Rolls. It's a cool take on a local staple. Everyone was happy with their meal. We each got something different and enjoyed stealing forkfuls of food off each other's plate. Our server was very helpful when we needed to choose between dishes when ordering. For dessert, we got the Peanut Butter Pie and it was amazing! I'm still dreaming about it. The decor is very beautiful. The interior was so lovely. I hope to return with my family soon! We left full and happy! read more

When I lived in Ky I would eat there 2 to 3 times a month . I have moved to Ohio now and haven't had the chance to eat there for 3 years. My son and I stopped to eat there for lunch and I was surprised how the quality has gone down and prices have gone up . Was charged a fee for using a credit card . I know the charge wasn't much but those little things tend to upset me. Service was still exceptional but the Cod and onion rings were greasy. read more

Terrible breakfast. Everything tasted like it was cooked the night before, put on a plate and warmed up in a microwave. I spoke with a manager and she gave me the option of not paying but I already some of it so I payed anyway. Her reason for the poor food quality was "they were new at breakfast". Eggs were watery, bacon looked crispy but was old and tough, English muffin was limp (I asked for it to be toasted well). Waitress said "looks like the butter got to it". read more

Our Y group took advantage of the Greyhound Tavern Sunday Brunch. 10 AM to 2 PM. All you can eat for $25. Thank you Sheila Gilman for the suggestion. The fried chicken is juicy and flavorful. Several breakfast and lunch items available. Our server took care of all of my needs, and the best part, as always, was the fine company. read more

Went for the Sunday brunch buffet , not realizing we needed a reservation during buffet hours, they offered us the bar area but before we could find seats they quickly worked with us and found us a table. Total luck! We all enjoyed the buffet, they had fresh made waffles with a berry compote that complimented the waffle very well, goetta, eggs... you name it! There was also a whole lunch menu side to the buffet complete with fried chicken - a lot of food for $25, great service and all around nice atmosphere! read more

We had a 7pm reservation for four the evening before Valentine's Day 2026. We were seated promptly at a four top in a room adjacent to the bar. My wife and I were joined by long time friends. We are familiar with this establishment and enjoy its country decor and home style cooking. Our friends were first timers. The place was packed as one would expect on a Friday evening but then add in the Valentine's crowd. Our server was Edward. He was a busy, busy man. Soon he was at our table with waters for all and taking our drink orders. My wife ordered an Expresso Martini and I went with their 'New Fashion'. The special for the evening was a dinner of a house salad, 2 Filet Medallions with flash fried potatoes and asparagus and a dessert of their Bread Pudding. We both opted for the special, medium rare, a tough decision though knowing well that their fried chicken dinner is hard to pass up! Dinner arrived in a reasonable time and it did not take long to discover that these Medallions were perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. Not a surprise, though, based on our previous experiences here. Our friends were pleased with their selections too and so dinner was a success. During our dinner the dining room began to clear and we felt at ease staying at our table for some good conversation. Edward continued to take good care of us while he began to do his closing chores. We had a very good evening here at the Greyhound Tavern and will sure return again and again. read more

Just finished the Sunday brunch. We miss the brunch that was provided by the previous owner. Seems like the management really doesn't take care of the business. Food did not seem very fresh, I had to interrupt one of the kids from watching the soccer game to get some food, overall very disappointing. read more

Still a place mainly for people over 70. We ate at 6pm on a Friday night and the place was full, by 7:30 everyone was gone. This time I got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken was excellent, the potatoes were awful (didn't even take home the leftovers). They were dry, cold, and tasteless. Get the onion rings to share with the table, they were good, too. Our server was friendly and clearly very patient and used to dealing with an older crowd. Since we were celebrating a milestone birthday, they gave all of us a free dessert. The desserts were homemade and all very good. read more

100+ year old restaurant that evokes a nostalgic charm and is loosely centered around horse racing and local area happenings of long ago. To me, it felt like much hasn't changed to in restaurant since the 80's and that this was the place where local businessmen made lots of deals. We sat in the bar area and the air conditioning was blowing uncomfortably the entire time. I had the chicken salad croissant, which oddly is served unassembled and you must assemble it yourself. The chix salad was homemade and sandwich was quite tasty. Service was adequate and prices were reasonable. read more

Had a family dinner here tonight. It's like eating at Grandmas if she was the best cook EVER ! Seriously, this has been a 25 year favorite for me. Service has always been comfortably on point, but never pretentious. Everything from country comfort food to innovative and eclectic. And Sunday Brunch is hands down the best around. Do yourself a favor and try this oldie but goodie. read more

Amanda was terrific. Took care of everything for us couldn't have asked for more. The hot brown and reubun sandwich were top notch.

The food is terrible couldn't take more then one bite sent it back politely and left on Valentine's Day. Waitress was good

Sunday Brunch.. service was quick, Buffett had plenty of options both breakfast and lunch items. I hadn't been in years and had forgotten how nice the restaurant was. Friendly heads up, you can't order from the menu during the Sunday brunch. I wasn't aware of this. read more

Historic and classic restaurant that has Very loyal customers and based in the large groups seems to be a favorite for Many extended families . Daily specials including Saturday prime rib. Wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. We were a table of four and split the onion ring appetizer-huge portion that was breaded and deep fried. The angel Pasta with chicken was huge but the chicken pieces were not necessary & they seemed to be Tyson strips.-not homemade. The hot brown was a classic that was very popular. Make a reservation Take in the atmosphere , & enjoy the pictures of the trolly. The menu has quite a few options so try some of the popular dishes to step back in time. It is an experience to savor. read more

I've been going to greyhound for over 40 years and now they have changed the breading on the cheese sticks which use to be my favorite. I doubt I'll be going back they taste terrible now! Don't change what has worked for years! read more

We had a great dinner at Greyhound last night! We had not been in a couple of years and couldn't figure out why that was. The interior of the restaurant looks and feels so nice (and possibly recently refreshed?), but the prices for sandwich meals were similar to a more casual restaurant. We ordered the cheese sticks and pimento cheese for the kids to snack on while we waited for dinner. The cheese sticks came with very good marinara for dipping and the pimento came with fried pita points - both were devoured quickly, hence no photos! For dinner, I had a Reuben which was so big, I brought half home for lunch the next day. Our kids shared the grilled cheese meal and ate every last bite (not normal for them ). My husband had the barbecue on a bun and said it was delicious. We went on a Wednesday at 6 pm, and we were seated quickly. We can't wait for our next visit! read more

We were celebrating our Anniversary. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. The food was ok, nothing to write home about, but good large portions. The server was way below par. We was never offered bread, told the special, or offered dessert, which we wanted. So after being disappointed we paid, left, and chose to have dessert elsewhere. We definitely wasn't impressed, and would never recommend this place to family or friends. read more

The Greyhound Tavern is a MUST if you are in Northern Kentucky for any length of time. A Fort Mitchell landmark for over fifty years (including the period when it was known also as The Greyhound Grill) it serves outstanding fare with the hospitality not often found these days. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The regulars will swear by their huge and delicious onion rings.You can't go wrong with any menu choice, the only drawback might be the limited parking spaces available. If you go once you will be hooked. They also have a wonderful bar area that is also popular with the locals, but is welcoming to newcomers. read more

We sat at the bar and had dinner yesterday. We've been going there for 35 years. it has always been one of our favorite restaurants. But, since it was bought out a couple years ago it has gone down hill. They remodeled the restaurant and raised the prices. That would not be that big of a deal if the food was still as well prepared as it was before. We had the greyhound brown, the cod sandwich and cheese sticks. The greyhound brown had no taste at all. Very bland. My cod sandwich had stale rye bread that broke apart when I started eating it as a sandwich. The tomato slice was not anything that I would want to eat. It had a lot of hard white parts. The piece of romaine lettuce did not even cover the bread. The sandwich used to be awesome. We were disappointed the last time we went there and more disappointed this time. We probably will not return for a long time. Who's in charge there? $23 for a cod sandwich. $19 for cheese sticks read more

The service was great and they accommodated a large party. The place was nicer but the crowd was definitely older. Fried chicken was great and I also enjoyed the drink options. The mozzarella sticks were massive but tasted bland. read more

The food in the service and the atmosphere was very nice. Always a great place to eat get together with friends and family.

Took my wife for Sunday brunch. The choices were somewhat limited, but each one we tried was decent. It is definitely an older crowd. We're older (late 50s) but felt young today. My only real negative was more of an expectation than anything. So many reviews rave about the fried chicken. For us, it was the least tasty of selections. read more

The food was great, the ambiance was typical of a quaint southern cafe. The clientele during the afternoon was mainly family/small groups.

It's been a long time since I've been to this famous Northern Kentucky favorite. I don't think I'll be back for awhile. Yes the food is very good with a wide variety to choose from. My wife had the "Famous Fried Chicken"...excellent. I had the pork tenderloin with the apple chutney...excellent. SO...why the 3 stars you ask. Service. Service was not good at all. Granted we were there on a Friday evening and got seated at a table in the bar area. Our waiter was the bartender so he was overwhelmed. He was also not that great. No personality. Felt like he was just going through the motions. Took almost 10 minutes before he even came over to us. (It wasn't packed as there were other open tables) When he did, he asked us what we wanted and that was it. Nothing else. Never came back to see how everything was. He also never asked us if there was anything else we wanted...just brought us the check. Disappointing to say the least. So, if you have a LOT of time to sit and wait then go for the food. BUT expect to wait to get it. read more

FABULOUS! From the iced glasses to delicious food to near perfect service, VERY PLEASED. Exceeded expectations, and was really glad we stopped. Not what you would call a 'happening' joint. Boasts new twists on traditional good food, frosty water and beer glasses, and terrific service. Mostly frequented by older folks on a Tuesday evening, which is a hallmark to folks who appreciate the time honored definitions of a quality experience. read more

Service was excellent, food was great and it is very clean and bright! Onion rings are very good!

This place felt like having lunch at your grandparents. This historic restaurant is a local favorite. The staff was so professional and friendly. The atmosphere was fantastic with all the historic photos and stories. The food was amazing. You must try the cheese sticks! read more
