I guess we were expecting it to be a little bigger and a little better for the price. It was ok but not worth what is being charged. We both got the warm with butter lobster roll. We each also got the lobster bisque when my husband went back out for more food because we were both still hungry after eating the roll. I also had the Root Beer. I think the root beer was the best part of the meal. It was really good. The lobster tasted good and only some of it was rubbery. I wouldn't seek them out again.

I dug the recent artist, as she reminds me of a creative back home in Louisville that I may or may not have a piece or two from! When it comes to art with energy, I'm a sucker. We nabbed special pieces, while enjoying conversation with Tim. I cannot recommend this space enough.

Loved this store! If you are into vintage, Tim has a little bit of everything: art, furniture,…read moredecor, jewelry, clothing, shoes and loads of other stuff. It's the kind of place where you would notice something new every time you visited. Even if you aren't looking to buy anything it's a fun place just to look around (but I challenge you to leave empty handed, especially if you look through the $10 tee shirt bin in the basement). There were also some incredible vintage jewelry pieces in the cabinet up front and the prices were better than most vintage stores. Tim seems like a really cool guy who really treasures collecting things and sharing them with other people. I will definitely visit again if I find myself on another trip to Cincinnati!

Love. If I can use…read moreone word to describe my experience at Soul Secret, that's it. Love Amore Besotted Take great people (Melinda was our server and the chef came out to check on us...more about Melinda later)... Combine it with great food and great ambiance, and you get this restaurant! The first thing that you notice when you walk in is that it feels like home. Some restaurants focus heavily on decor and leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance, the people, and the food. And in other restaurants, you walk in and feel as if you can stay there forever. This is one of those places. We stayed there for a while. Imagine being in Grandmom's living room with pictures on the wall and positive music playing in the background. That's Soul Secrets. The menu is big enough to make sure that everyone can find something to eat, but not so big that you will struggle to make a decision. From fried catfish and grits to French toast to salmon croquettes and the largest pancake on Earth, there is something for everyone. My niece ordered the French toast, and my sister ordered a special breakfast that came with a pancake, grits, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. I was still hungry from last night's meal, (and you can read about it in another review) so I just nibbled off of my sister's meal. The French toast came out first, and I could tell immediately that the chef knew what she was doing. The rest of the food came out, and again, they brought the largest pancake I've ever seen. My sister was treating us today, and I was glad that the menu prices were very reasonable. My niece said that the French toast was delicious, and she ate as much as she could. She has a dance performance tonight and made sure that she didn't put her show at risk. It was difficult for her because the food was so good, but she managed and took a box home to eat it later. Yes. My sister nibbled on everything else and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the grits and some of the pancake, and I have to say that it was very difficult for me to stop eating because it tasted so good. The pancake was perfectly cooked and fluffy with crispy bits on the edge. The grits were creamy and flavorful, even without cheese. The coffee was great. I had several cups. All in all, it was arguably better than any breakfast I've had at any restaurant that serves it. Now let's get back to Melinda. So often, the dining experience can be directly related to the person that greets you when you take a seat. Thank goodness we were greeted by Melinda. She has one of those energies and personalities that makes you feel as if she has been in your family for years. Funny and friendly, but at the same time, dedicated to making sure that you have a good experience. Again, I felt like I was at someone's home rather than in a restaurant. She called me a "troublemaker," which means that somehow she was seeing the 20-year-old version of me instead of the person that I am today. lol So here's the summary. If you are in Cincinnati and you want a great meal, there are many restaurants to choose from. It appears to be a pretty decent restaurant town. But if you want to FEEL Cincinnati, while feeling right at home and having one of the best meals ever- Soul Secrets is one for the ages.

The crunch of the crust, the tenderness of the meat. Perfectly seasoned and not salty, ugh I'm so happy. I enjoyed the street corn but I think it might be a little misplaced as a side. It definitely belongs with a taco? Maybe if the corn were smoked it would bring the two items together in my mind. Regardless, both the corn and the brisket were delicious and you better believe I will be back for more.

Meatson's is not quite a food truck but a mobile grilling/catering business finding hungry crowds seeks good bbq around Cincinnati. I was able to enjoy a brisket plate while they were stationed at Fibonacci brewing. I knew they were going to be there, but didn't know if I would be ordering. Well, until I walked by the carving station and saw that hot, moist, smoked brisket. I had to go for it and what a great choice. THAT BRISKET WAS BETTER THAN BBQ JOINTS WITH A BRICK AND MORTAR! They left some fat on for flavor, but just enough that was edible along side the meat. Nice seasoning, smoke flavor and pairs great with a beer. The last place I recommended for bbq, we left completely underwhelmed with some dry brisket that needed to be soaked in sauce. (Somewhere in Walnut Hills) I will gladly redeem my recommendations Cree with this place. Maybe at another brewery. The brisket can stand on its own; sauce optional.
