Food: great Service: great Ambiance: great If they're doing the prix fixe when you go, you can't go wrong. Highlight of my trip to Cincy/Northern KY! 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.

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

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

When my friend suggested we lunch here, I immediately went to Yelp and checked it out. And my friends reviews made me a little concerned because there were references to older diners, bland food and high prices. But after getting out of the friends section (whose reviews were all dated) and into more recent reviews, things were looking up. So I went in with an open mind. It reminds me of other historic places like the Campbell House in Lexington, and I liked the vibe. We sat at the bar...we always opt for the bar! Menu was full of good looking things. We decided to share an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes, and they were good. Really, really good. My friend had a barbecue platter, and I had Chicken Salad with fruit and a muffin. Everything was good. And I didn't think the prices were out of line at all. The bartender said she had worked there for 36 years. I love hearing that...it's a sign of good employer. I'm already looking forward to a future visit. Yes...it was that good! 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.

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

Enjoyed a dinner on the patio at this lovely venue. The restaurant offers a beautiful casual setting with delicious menu offerings. The portions were well above "normal" size and prices were excellent for what is served. The staff were courteous and prompt. I am anxious to try the Sunday brunch soon! read more

Greyhound Tavern - Southern Near Me - Fort Mitchell, Kentucky

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

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 meatloaf was very good, and the service was very good as well. Would highly recommend giving it a try!

We came here for a Sunday Brunch. We got it right at 10am as they opened without a reservation. It was a cute place, decorated like classy grandmas house. We had the buffet and it was great with a nice selection of breakfast as well as lunch options. We really enjoyed out brunch and left feeling very full! read more

Close to a 5! I'd heard about the Greyhound for years and finally came on my way to the airport. If only we'd all ordered what I ordered, it's a 5...but alas, we didn't. Let's start with the good. I had a bourbon slush, which was awesome on a hot day. I ordered the pork tenderloin and found it near-perfect: fruit, creamy sauce, cooked with moistness left in it. Now, for the bad, my girlfriend had the walleye. Look, it might just be walleye--I haven't eaten a lot since I moved to the West Coast. She soldiered through it, but when I tried some, I thought it was a misfire. The fish was a bit greasy and flavorless. Normally you could overcome that with good breading, but the breading also lacked any panache. Good service, good atmosphere, good pork -- but I can't forget that walleye, alas. read more

Met friends there for "Burger Week"....Best burger in town! Our waitress Jaime was outstanding! Cant wait to return!

Food's not bad but recently added surcharges to customers using a credit card. Don't go.

Slow service, food was decent but not worth the price. Older vibes but clean. I got the salmon salad, the salmon was good but a smaller piece. My spouse got a burger but meat tasted toward the cheaper end. read more

Had the fried chicken dinner and two sides The chicken was ok, but they were the smallest pieces of fried chicken that I have ever been served. Price was a joke, I will never go back. read more

When I worked in Ft. Mitchell, I ate here frequently. Now it is a special event to come here. Today I was celebrating my birthday, and got a wonderful meal to do so with. The waitress wasn't exactly friendly, but she provided excellent service. I hope she was just having a bad day. I had the halibut, which is one of my favorites, and it was as good as ever. The risotto it is served with is creamy, with a generous amount of cheese. The topping on the halibut is very tasty. Their hot slaw has small lardons of bacon instead of the more common crumbles, making it especially good. I've heard that their fried chicken isn't as good with the new owners, but that it is still good. As always, I highly recommend Greyhound Tavern. read more

Recently went to Greyhound for lunch with a friend. I liked the look of the restaurant. It felt comfortable with touches like the wallpaper. Some might call it dated, but I thought it looked classic. Had a meatloaf platter since nobody else at home really cares for it, so I don't make it. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly. It was a very nice touch for my friend who got an Arnold Palmer (lemonade & iced tea) that they brought her an individual mini pitcher of lemonade so that she could get the combination she wanted. It was such a cute little bitty pitcher that I almost wanted to order the same thing just to get one. Will go back. read more

The best buffet around. Everything was fresh and tasted really good. Service was great. Refill on drinks was fast.

Greyhound Tavern was my MIL's favorite Northern Kentucky restaurant, and going there now is a visit in her memory. We met some local family there after church for the Sunday brunch buffet and were not disappointed even with the restaurant under new ownership. The buffet has 2 lines, one with breakfast foods and the other with lunch items like fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes, so everyone can find something that they like. The buffet also includes salads and desserts. My favorites include the goetta on the breakfast line. We were all glad to see that the place served the same menu that has made it a family favorite. read more

Ate here for lunch today with a group of 5. Have been here many times in the past, usually for the family style chicken dinner on Monday and Tuesday nights (minimum of 3 people.) Today I had something I had never had before--goetta egg rolls with a sweet chili sauce. I loved them. Had the meat loaf entree which came with some potatoes and green beans and I was able to substiture a salad for the slaw--wow--it was a generous sized salad and one of the best salads I have had in a long time. All our food was great. Barely had room for dessert which was blackberry cobbler with ice cream. Service was friendly and attentive. We will certainly be returning in the future, either for the chicken special or the Sunday brunch. A Fort Mitchell gem which has been around for 100+ years. Parking is plentiful. read more

We love Greyhound Tavern! Recently voted Northern Kentucky's most legendary restaurant. I've been visiting here since the mid-1970s. Recent ownership change has taken an historic gem and made it even better. It's been updated inside and an outdoor patio area has been added. Tonight my wife and I were in the area running some errands and decided to stop for dinner. The giant onion rings are a must, and we split a half order (4 rings), which was plenty. These giant onion rings are wide and lightly battered and deep fried. We eat ours with ketchup. Make sure you let them cool off before putting a bite in your mouth. I ordered the special, Country Pork Chops, which consisted of 2 boneless pork chops, lightly breaded and fried. They were served with green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy and a slice of French bread. It was delicious. The pork chops were moist and paired nicely with the potatoes and gravy. Like a home cooked meat & potatoes type meal. My wife ordered the open faced roast beef sandwich. It looked great and she gave me a taste. It was savory and served with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. read more

We were looking for a brunch place for after church...not a national chain. We found the Greyhound Grill. I had been to dinner here about 30 years ago (WAY before Yelp) and as I remember, it was decent, so why not. It really is a decent setup. It's about 20 bucks a head and you have a breakfast line and a lunch line...and, oh yeah, a dessert line. They had what looked like sausage...but it was goetta and what looked like hot dogs, but that was the sausage. Aside from the mistaken identity, the was pretty good. On the lunch side (yeah I had both...all 3 with dessert...oink) the fried chicken was awesome...and they had fried clam strips (sort of weird surf-n-turf...but it works). So, after a couple of trips, I had my fill and waddled back to my vehicle. This was an enjoyable brunchner trip and we will likely be back. read more

I've not been here in years but it never disappoints. We had a great server and great food. always have to get the onion rings. I had their fried chicken which they are known for as well as meatloaf, and walleye. read more

We are new to the area and stopped by the Greyhound Tavern for lunch one day. The parking lot was busy which is always a good sign. It's a bit upscale but not pretentious. Try the bean soup for starters! We can never find a way to finish a big pot of bean soup so we never make it anymore. We don't have to now! We shared a Kentucky Hot Brown and we're glad we shared one. It was plentiful, hot and delicious. After all, we had to save room for dessert! We will have to make it back for dinner sometime soon! read more

Haven't been here in a very long time, and it's only my husband Mike's second time here. The Salmon and Cod were delicious, and the place is just as I rememberedGlad to see the new owners haven't changed the menu very much. Justin was an excellent waiter! I highly recommend if you haven't been in a while. read more

Oh man where do I begin this place reminds me of a cozy nook type restaurant that they would place at the corner of any historical sites, that one corner place with real good homemade cooking that's Greyhound tavern , I say that never physically being there but it's the vibes I get from my delivery order a delivery order alone told me that ! The food is all fresh and taste homemade not one item that me and my family tried tasted premade or frozen everything was fresh you could tell , We had the cheese sticks which it's rare to find a place that make their own version of mozzarella sticks that alone set the vibe of the greatness to come they were so big and sooooo gooodd We tried the fried green tomatoes which were absolutely divine highly recommended trying those as well I had a cheeseburger which was cooked perfectly and was so juicy and good We had the bread pudding for dessert - which is different flavors either every week or every month not sure which But wow ! I swear I feel like someone's grandma was back in that kitchen making that bread with a lot of love I've never had other flavors of bread pudding and the blueberry version was absolutely amazing that alone has me wanting to come back Everything on their menu is absolutely delicious and guaranteed to have you leaving stuffed and your belly full with a smile on your face read more

Great food & service! Looking forward to going back . The fried chicken was delicious . read more

Your buffet was great and loved the options but the fried chicken is the best we have ever had any where! Our parents especially enjoyed this visit. We will be back read more

Went to a business lunch today at Greyhound. I had not been there for so many years. I went outside my comfort zone and ordered the Salmon Harvest salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette. I rarely order a salad without a creamy dressing or one with fruit. I got to say- BEST SALAD EVER!!! The dressing, mixed with the goat cheese, and the fruit and the almonds- my goodness that salad is amazing. I am actually ordering it again for dinner! Highly recommend going to visit Greyhound- and get that salad!!! By the way, the service was also excellent- kudos to the team! read more

Excellent fried chicken! You feel like you are stepping back in time going into Greyhound Tavern = a true old-world, good old-fashioned service and great food 'made-from-scratch.' Great atmosphere as well. read more

Greyhound Tavern is a well known, well established restaurant that, for some reason, I just hadn't tried yet. Well decided to celebrate a birthday with a Monday dinner reservation and I feel like I inadvertently deprived myself of a wonderful restaurant! Four of us split goetta egg rolls which were very good. My MIL is a longtime fan of the Monterey Chicken, My FIL opted for the Pork Tenderloin, husband had the Mediterranean Chicken and I had the Pork Chops. Everything was tasty! Those of us that aren't quitters finished cleaned our plates and some of us had enough for lunch tomorrow. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie was like a Reese's Cup pie on steroids!!! And the warm Berry Cobbler was naturally sweet but not "sugary". On top of that, the service was top notch. Highly recommend and will return for sure read more

We're locals & have been eating at Greyhound for 50 years. Historically the food & atmosphere has always been top notch. This is not a pub with loud music. You can actually hear your dinner companions. However, we find that the quality & cost has dragged the restaurant down. Recently I had the salmon w Bearnaise. It was dry, not a good cut & the sauce tasted mayonnaisey. My husband was not satisfied with the Biggie' burger which in the past wasn't an issue. The staff was professional & did a good job. We understand high prices affect the restaurant industry & hope that improves soon. read more

The half order of humongous onion rings was enough appetizer to split between the three of us. The fish sandwich is superb here. Lightly battered flaky cod served with chips and coleslaw. My sister had the ribeye sandwich and described it as the best she's ever had. I was disappointed that the hot slaw was only served as dinner sized salad. The server was kind enough to share a sample with me, which made my day! The warm blackberry cobbler was disappointing with about small amount of crust and 4-5 berries, hence the four star rating. read more

5 stars it was excellent. Tried to get reservations and was told no availabity from 9-2, I ask if they would take my name and call if they had a cancellation. They never called. We dropped by and they could seat us on the patio, it was a little chilly , but grateful we could have our Easter lunch there. read more

Are you 80, enjoy terrible ambiance, canned veggies, and shoe leather steaks priced north of $40? This is the place for you. A select few servers are good. Fried chicken is excellent. Everything else should be redone. The clientele will complain but they're literally a dying breed anyway. Holland can do so much better with this space. read more

Came here for dinner one day with my coworkers and the food was delicious! The chicken was juicy I literally eat everything on the plate! read more

Stopped in on Sunday for their Sunday brunch, met a friend who raves about their Sunday brunch. She made reservations, which was great idea as people were waiting to be seated. The hostess seated us at table in a side room. Our waiter took drink orders my friend ordered a Bloody Mary and I tried a Strawberry mimosa, one of their special drinks and we helped ourselves to the buffet. I enjoyed the breakfast casserole with eggs, sausage, mushrooms & cheese plus home fries and a biscuit. They had a huge fresh fruit plate which I enjoyed the berries. They also have separate line with pork, apples, mashed potatoes, green beans, cauliflower and their famous fried chicken. Plus a dessert table too my friend loved all of the treats, I was so stuffed I didn't have room for dessert. Greyhound Tavern a Northern Kentucky staple since 1921. If you're looking for an all you can eat brunch buffet you can't go wrong and will be stuffed tons of food. I appreciate a historic restaurant but they need to make some updates our table and the floor of the room we were seated was sticky and just looked dirty. The drapes in several rooms appear to be dirty. If you're not going to update, can you clean and the carpet was falling apart in just the walk from our table to the buffet room & back. I commented when we went to leave even the front door was falling apart & was splitting in two. read more
