I saw on their menu that they had a few options that included almond butter. They told me that the Pumba was award winning, so I went with that option. I loved the mixture of different flavors.

Went for their Expresso-Self shake with ESPRESSO LIQUEUR, SPICED RUM, AMARO, WHIPPED CREAM, BITTERS, COCOA POWDER. Very creamy and delicious. I like the meat to shine and passed on the toppings, except some pickles on the side. I was very impressed with the flavor and the texture was perfect. Bun wasn't overpowering and capped it off perfectly. Service was pretty good but they didn't make my shake until I was finished and asked for it a second time. Was worth the wait. Spacious booths and a nice patio area out front.

It's always nice to have friendly staff and reasonable prices... like all the gold stars are aligning. As far as the meal itself was concerned: their chili is different enough from its competitors to be unique but similar enough that to me, it makes it a tossup on where it falls on my Cincinnati chili rank list. Just like Skyline and GS -- it's pretty doggone good. I had my three-way in the park nearby (wow, let's not take that sentence out of context!). Considering there's no real inside seating area, but tons of parks nearby. It's great for a grab and go and late night eating.

Right off the bat, the staff was incredibly welcoming. The menu is straight forward and had a break down of what they offer. I had to try the coneys, but their double decker sandwiches also sound amazing (maybe for another day.) I decided on 3 coneys and an order of chili cheese tater tots and they absolutely did not disappoint. They offer a little bit of everything including a kids menu, and a tasty assortment of desserts as well. It's a perfect spot if you're looking for a quick meal while shopping downtown OR the most ideal food for a drunken night after car hopping in OTR.

Super satisfying. Fries: These are easily the best fries I've had in the Cincy area so far. They're somewhere between shoestring and thicker fries - long, a little toasty, and just really addictive. Not super oily, so something you could eat whether you're trying to be "diet" or fully going ham. Service: The younger staff had a bit of a interesting vibe, but the older guy there was super chill and kind of balanced everything out. Ambiance: Chill little spot on the corner. Nothing over the top, just easy and comfortable.

There's plenty of seating and large screen televisions everywhere. There are no bad seats in the house. There are bars inside and out. Since it was chilly, we sat inside. There are three food vendors that are also on the yard. Their bar has so much great selections to choose from. Specialty drinks, craft beers on tap, and wine. We ordered: -Classic Cuban (8") -3 Tacos Caribbean style w/ chicken -Large order of tots -Revel Red wine -Rhinegeist Truth -Yard Lager (made by Tivoli) We really enjoyed both the drinks and food!

The one-man mobile restaurant has become a staple of mine for every Reds game. All beef Nathan's hot dogs are the big seller with recent additions to the menu such as "mets" and the occasional bratwurst. He stocks a variety of toppings and condiments including ketchup, mustard, Cleveland's own stadium mustard, cheese, onions, and jalapenos to name a few. To wash down the delicious dogs, a choice of gatorade, water, or common canned pop products like mountain dew, coke, and pepsi can also be purchased. The prices are fair and definitely better than inside the stadium. At $3 a dog or 2 for $5 and pop or water for a buck, Drew's hot dog cart is a must-stop before venturing into GABP. This displaced Clevelander has become an avid Reds fan and is evident by his devotion to his work and extensive collection of bobblehead dolls on display. If you want an inexpensive meal with the "New York City vendor" feel, stop by and pick up a dog or two.

Cheese Coneys- These were smaller hot dogs stuffed inside a fresh, hot, steamed bun, then topped with chili and a mound of shredded cheddar. Super messy to eat. Taste was alright. The chili itself was not spicy, but had a lot of spices/flavoring in it. I could definitely taste a little sweetness (cinnamon?). Cheese Curds- These came out piping hot. I got my dogs first, then they brought these out to my table. These were freshly fried, great cheese pull...solid order of cheese curds. Service was straight to the point. Not a lot of smiling going on, but whatever, people are here to eat and get out of here. They serve everything pretty fast and efficient. Would I come back? Eh, maybe. I'd never crave these things, but if I were back in the Cincinnati area, and it as late at night, this would fit the bill. Would probably try the spaghetti next time with like a 3 way.
