Food is edible but not impressive. I asked for Salt, Pepper and hot sauce to enhance the flavor. Both host and waiter need to work in their manners, rather lacking, or better change careers, drill sargeant would fit. We waited a while to be seated by a very stern and unfriedly host, after a few minutes a waiter as unfriendly as the host came to our table. I don't think we are coming back again. My wife pasta was not any better either. read more

If you wind up with Alex as your server, your night's on a good glide path. We certainly enjoyed the drinks and the appetizer (goetta croquettes), and his disposition was outstanding. He had a "needy" customer at the table behind us, but handled her interruptions like a true champ. Our food came out quickly, and I can certainly endorse the Lake Erie Walleye. The steak & potato flatbread maybe not, but the the fish was certainly on point. We were visited by the management once during our meal, and had nothing negative to report. Certainly a great dining experience, would definitely recommend to friends! read more

Stopped by on the way to a concert. Restaurant was very busy but we were able together a table outside which was very nice and the service was excellent. Food was very good as well, great fish sandwich. Hope to return next time in the area. read more

Love this place! We always enjoy listening to the live band that they have there and the food is delicious! This time I trie the chicken salad and it was very good! I got the large serving which was not my idea of "large", but it was good nonetheless! They have a wide selection of beer and wine as well! read more

Grove Park Grille - Half eaten Philly cheesesteak - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Highly Disappointed. The restaurant web page allowed us to make a reservation for a day when the restaurant was closed. Received a confirmation email. We are from out of town. No message or heads up. We arrived at the restaurant with 2 other guests. Locked doors. Not a good way to make a good impression on your business. read more

Good food, reasonably priced and friendly staff..Like that you can make a reservation!

Great menu options and food is delicious! Recommend trying the BBQ wings and everything pretzel bites!

Stopped here on a busy weekend. Restaurant was out of fish for the tacos I requested. Friend I was with ordered shrimp. They were out of shrimp too. I ordered mussels. I do like mussels but these were some of the worst tasting mussels, dry, over cooked and not a good flavor. Bread that came with the mussels was stale. Friend who wanted shrimp skewers ordered salmon salad. The salmon salad had a 2x2 piece of salmon on it and the salad was primarily romaine stock not leaf. Because the restaurant was out of so much food the server had offered a discount for an upgrade on the salmon salad. No discount was given and our server never made another appearance after realizing we weren't happy with our meal. Very disappointing will not stop here again. read more

Grove Park Grille - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

What a great find. Visiting Cincinnati for the first time, had a wonderful meal here. The meat loaf and brussel sprouts were great. The carrot cake, is out of this world! That combined with the wonderful atmosphere and outstanding service makes Grove Park Grille number one for me. read more

Great pre-concert venue for dinner and drinks before taking in a show at Riverbend. They offer a variety of seating options - indoor, bar, and patio. We enjoyed appetizers, salads, entrees, and drinks in the bar. Service was great as well! read more

The food is really good! I have been here twice with different friends and both times the food was great. All of us enjoyed our meals. The second visit both my friend and I had the wild berry salad. It was amazing. We both added salmon. The salmon was delicious but a little pricey for the amount we were given. Extremely small portion of salmon. The service was a little less. Both times we had to keep asking for things like drink refills. The second visit it took quite a bit of time for our server to bring our checks. We have been seated outside both times of visiting this restaurant. I would hope that the service is quite a bit better on the inside. read more

We've been here three or four times. Each time the server is very friendly and helps with suggestions on what to try. Burger, flatbread, or the Walleye , I've enjoyed every meal. A little more upscale than a chain but suit and tie not required. read more

Food and service are both pretty good! They have a nice menu that offers a lot of different options. I love their wings, but if you like them wet make you tell them or they come out with hardly any sauce on them. read more

The food and service were Great! There were so many choices of what to order on their menu. The waiter couldn't have been nicer!

This is one of my new favorite restaurants for an everyday-nice meal. I've been twice for lunch and twice for dinner with different types of groups (as a couple, as a family, and with my mom) and had consistently good experiences all around. The interior is nice, but a bit bland and generic. I think a bit more local art or historical photography would be a nice touch. Servers all seem really enthusiastic to work there, without being annoying about it, just genuinely passionate about the food. The owner has also personally stopped by during several of our meals to check on us, which is a nice touch. My favorite item there so far is the Reuben, which is amazing. It comes with a house made slaw, which is great and I also add fries, which makes the meal big enough to either share or bring half home. The Reuben is nicely toasted outside with a generous amount of tender, flavorful corned beef inside and just the right ratios of dressing, cheese and sauerkraut. I've also tried the chicken salad salad, not a typo, it's chicken salad on a green salad in the form of grilled romaine, which didn't work for me. Their James Parker burger sounded amazing and the concept definitely is, but they need to cut down a bit on the toppings, which overwhelm the actual burger and make it ridiculously messy to eat. The burger itself was great, would probably just go for the standard version next time. They are super kid friendly as well with a decent selection on the kids menu and good healthy side options as well. They were even able to accommodate our request for a flatbread with ranch instead of tomato sauce for our son since everything is made from scratch. A few specials to know about, happy hour, half off wine on Tues and Thurs, and kids eat free on Wednesday. Oh, and we haven't used it yet, but they also have an amazing looking outdoor deck for dining al fresco! read more

Grove Park Grille - Amazing burger!! - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Service was very good, as were the food and portions. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Thank Goodness for Grove Park stepping it up a notch and becoming my family's favorite gathering space to share weekend luncheons, out of town party site and a local place to go for relaxation and excellent food. Ask Tom and crew for anything and they will assist. Only issue we see is ....everyone is hanging out here too ! We also suggest a few more employees for the weekend crowd. Keep the food hot and the drinks smooth. So I thought I should add a comment about my review - I have hosted several special events for family and friends and all have been exceptional. However if you need to enjoy the extra awesomeness of Grove Park make sure to ask for Spencer to be your head waiter. Always has a smile and a Gracious Attitude...... read more

This was probably the best salmon I've had at a restaurant. My husband got walleye which isn't offered many places so he was super happy. The beer selection was good. The best part was the food and definitely the service. Our waitress, Rochelle, was an all star- friendly, fast, knowledgeable and efficient. Also fairly priced for the quality of food... this is now our go to for pre concert meals! read more

Loved this place! Ate on the patio and they had live music the band was great, the food was great and so was the service! We were also able to bring our dog and they brought him out a water dish! Definitely a new favorite spot! read more

Food was not the best. I ordered Philly Cheesesteak Flatbread which had zero flavor except for the horseradish sauce on top. My husband said his burger was "meh" and the fries were soggy and not crispy at all. The highlight was the queso and blue corn chips which I did enjoy. We also had the crispy Brussel sprouts which were over cooked and burnt. read more

Our server made great recommendations! People in my group loved the sauces and the tomato/onion jam. We had Brussels sprouts, meatloaf, burger, and fish. The food and patio were both great. The only thing is that we were looking forward to dessert, and they did not have carrot cake. They said they almost never have it on Sunday because they run out of it quickly. read more

This place is great. The food is a little more expensive but the quality is great. Okay variety of beer, a decent liquor selection, tasty food, and an extremely friendly staff make this a great place to visit. While all the food is great, surprise yourself with the bacon wrapped meatloaf. Better than anything your mom made :) the Flatbreads are delicious also. read more

GPG was very very cozy and welcoming. The level of service was exceptional and the food and drinks were great. We decided to mix it up and ordered a variety of appetizers. Do yourself a favor and order the Goetta Croquettes. Such a unique dish and equally delicious. I don't normally rave about Brussels Sprouts but these deserve it. The perfect amount of crispness and loaded with flavor! The grilled fish tacos were a little short on fish but still good nonetheless. We'll definitely be back. read more

Service was great. Wings were ok, crispy but the syrup glaze was slightly boring. My burger was amazing, however, the atmosphere was nice, and the bartender was attentive and knowledgeable. Would definitely come back. read more

I like this place. I hadn't been here in years, but the newest incantation is solid. They have a very diverse menu, there is something for everyone. Our table had the crab dip, the mussels, the wings, and a steak salad. Everything was very tasty. They were a little short staffed on the Thursday that we were there, and it wasn't crowded, but we were left hanging a few times. We'll keep this spot in mind when over this way. read more

One of the best Reubens in Cincinnati. Great fries and Fantastic service. I've lived in this area for 20 years and I can't believe this gem hasn't hit my radar until recently. read more

Neat place very close to Riverbend. We went in before a concert & were out in plenty of time. We both got burgers and they were excellent!!! Would definitely go again. read more

After I packed bailey up from the dog park i went to pick up dinner at Grove Park Grille. The place was slammed. I asked the bartender for my take out order. He directed me to the food on the side. He ran my card and i went outside. I checked it. It was not my food. I went back in and finally got the attention of the bartender and i told him this was not correct. He asked me what i ordered. I told him. He was very frustrated by the 60 bar patrons and no staff to help him. He picked up someone's bar tab with their credit card in it and threw it against the wall. Minutes later he was breaking glasses. He was losing his shit because this is exactly how this place is ran. This happened the last time. Management: this scene should have been avoided. This is your fault. Clearly you are understaffed and this is unreal! Stop being a cheap ass and schedule more staff. You know on nights that riverbend has events that it's crazy. Pathetic! Food is not worth the shit show inside. read more

Grove Park Grille - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I always have such a great experience here. The food is great and they are so accommodating. We sat outside because it was 80 degrees in November! When we were almost finished with our meal my baby spilled my drink over the half of my sandwich I was going to bring home. If you are like me you know how you look forward to leftovers. Our server offered to get me another drink free of charge and offered to put née bread on my sandwich. When I got home I realized I'm they made me a whole new sandwich!! How nice is that? They also did great with social distancing and everyone had a mask on. read more

I've visited twice now. Both times, whether I seated myself at the bar or was seated by the hostess with others expect to have roughly a 5-10 minute wait to be greeted by your server. A bit much. I have mixed feelings on the food. I ordered chili both times and loved it as well as the roasted brussel sprouts and a Manhattan. I stick with what I know can't be messed up at smaller places as this. My husband and friend got adventurous on their drinks and food and most definitely regretted it. I don't recall the drinks that they ordered. They both ordered the chicken tacos, which neither of them finished. The chicken was super dry and did not look appetizing at all. The smallest dollop of old guacamole was put on the top. The ingredients did not taste fresh and in general were lacking in quality, size, and appearance. Stick to the chili, it's awesome BUT only if you're not on a time frame. The place is cute and the service is about average. Could be better, could be worse. read more

Have multiple visits here since they opened. Home grown and working everyday to please their customers. Nachos are some of the best in town. Menu sources local when available. Menu has some nice variety, closer to... but not gourmet. Nice layout and interior design, great outdoor seating, friendly bartenders, great service, always willing to please. Excellent hygiene . read more

Really nice place. Very close to Riverbend so we went before a concert. Good parking, some people were very dressed up and others had shorts and T-shirts on so it was a nice mixture of everyone. Price was pretty fair. I had a steak salad and my wife had chicken wings and we both had beers and it was about $50. Service wasn't bad, a little slow but it was pretty crowded. A nice place to go if you're headed to a concert next-door at Riverbend. Give it a chance. read more

Ate here tonight. I ordered the New England Reuben - delicious sandwich. The cod with the flavors of a Reuben was excellent. The outside deck area was very pleasant. The restaurant follows COVID 19 guidelines. read more

Grove Park Grille - nice patio. live music - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

First, I'm a bit late writing this review. I went to visit my friend and she treated me to dinner here. I had a burger, handcut fries and wine. This was no ordinary run of the mill burger one would find at a chain either. My food was delicious and cooked to perfection! Our server and the other employees were very friendly. It was a bit late and I was anxious because I did not want to be that customer holding them up from closing on time. They insisted it was not too late to dine in and thankfully we did end up leaving before closing time. The restaurant including the bathrooms were super clean. Tables and seating comfortable too. Great atmosphere all around. Give this place a try when in Cincinnati. read more

Menu choices are elevated and so yummy. Never had anything I didn't like. Their burger so flavorful. Chicken salad so tasty. Ruben is better than other places in Cincinnati. read more

Grove Park is the best restaurant in the Anderson area. I have never had a bad meal there.

We had lunch here a few months back with my brother and his wife and it was great, very slow but the food was great. My wife and I went back yesterday (5/28/2021 for lunch and it was a different "not so good" experience. The service was very slow, again and it was nowhere near full, maybe 25 people. We got our drinks and ordered an appetizer and our main course, and waited, and waited, and waited. The waitress came by and refilled our drinks but still no appetizer. Finally she came to our table saying the chef burnt our appetizer and was making another one. I really should have said right then for him not to bother but I didn't then here came our food...still no appetizer LOL A few mins later she brings the appetizer and sits it down and leaves, I looked at my wife and we laughed at all the food that was on our table now. When the waitress came back I told her they should have canceled the appetizer after he burnt it and she agreed but walked away. The fish I ordered was great but my wife's rib eye steak was very grisly and without favor. You couldn't taste anything but the little bit of char that was on it. We played nice and left her a nice tip but do not ever plan on going back. The untouched appetizer went into a to-go box for later. read more

its hard to rate because the food was really good but the server wasn't. he gave us our menus then went into the employee section and proceeded to eat. we had to wait several minutes to even order. he checked on us maybe 2 times to see if everything was ok. when I asked for some ketchup for my fries, he brought it out and basicly threw the plate with the ketchup cuts on it on the table next to me. he was continually on his phone texting or playing games. i understand people need to eat, but then they should not have given us his section there were more employees than customers! read more

Love this place. It can be a bit pricey but the food is very good. Make a reservation before shows at Riverbend to enjoy a yummy meal.
