Yummy! I hadn't been to Krueger's Tavern in YEARS. Probably about 4 years now. I loved the new place, the decor and ambiance were so great. We sat at the bar and ordered some oysters and a burger with fries. It was very tasty, and our waitress was very attentive. Everyone was friendly. I didn't get the beer cheese this time, but I will be back to have it. Used to be my favorite . read more

Had such an overall great experience the other weekend! Came here on a sunny Saturday afternoon and had about a 30 min wait; I asked if we could be seated outside if possible and they made it work. Our waiter, Troy, was so friendly and helpful. He gave the best meal recommendations and descriptions!! We shared the fried mozz as our app and it was delicious, loved the pesto! I got the chicken sandwich which was very flavorful and had great texture with the crispy green beans. Following a tip from Troy to keep things mess-free, I got it in a brioche bun instead of Texas toast and requested it cut in half. My fiancée got the blue cheese/Gruyère burger and found that to be very flavorful as well! The fries were limp but the aioli they were served with was good. read more

Nice place and limited sitting - better reserve as they will not give you a table otherwise! I sat at the bar. Had a great burger and the balls for appetizer. Great atmosphere on a cold night! Not sure if they have designated parking but i was able to find a spot on the street a block away. read more

The "grilled" chicken Parmesan was great, the pork sandwich rocked. Cool vibe! Located in the heart of OTR!

We were there with a large group and couldn't have been more pleased. All the food was amazing and the service staff was top notch. Great wine list. read more

Krueger's has it all: quality food, smart cocktails, attentive service, great prices. The kale salad and mac and cheese started things off in fine fashion. I had a burger, my girlfriend went for the chicken parm. Big yum energy. read more

pretty good quick late night meal! nothing too insane, but definitely pretty good. not complaining!

Unexpectedly stopped by around 11 pm on a Saturday night and was greeted immediately. Sat by the bar and ordered some drinks. The sage advice is a nice sipping cocktail and the bartenders were nice and attentive. Service was awesome and didn't feel rushed especially since they were closing at midnight. read more

Finally went back to Kruegers tavern since it reopened and enjoyed myself. It was a gorgeous day outside so we sat outside to enjoy our meal before going to the FCC game. Our server was kind and attentive and gave great service. I ordered the blue gruyere burger with fries and though it took a long time for our food to come out (due to the FCC rush of people), it was hot, filling, and delightful. My boyfriend got a chicken club with Mac n cheese and I must say I took more than a few bites because MAN OH MAN the Mac n cheese is to die for! 10/10 recommend trying it! I had also ordered a glass of orange wine because I was very curious and had never heard of such a thing before. It was good, but not something I would go out of my way to seek out. One of the servers informed me it's similar to white wine except the grapes are fermented longer hence the color. Was nice to try though! I will say the bill was pricier than I remembered it being in the past so be ready to drop some money if you plan on drinking with your meal! All in all it was a good experience! read more

I highly recommend the Martini Service for the dedicated martini drinker. They used Nolet's gin, which has a distinctive flavor which I like, but it may not be for everyone. I had the Italian Pork sandwich which was delicious - savory pork shoulder with the slightly bitter counterpoint of broccoli rabe. Bravo! Service was excellent- we had a lot of fun eating at a sidewalk table and viewing the passing scene. read more

I did take-out and the food was delicious. It was DoorDash. Im told the restaurant is owned by the same group that owns The Davidson. Get the espresso martini. read more

The martini service was a little disappointing, but the Mac n cheese here is the best in the city. It has a cute tavern-like atmosphere.

Yum yum yum!!! Was so sad to see my favorite cocktail (John Daily) is now gone, but the Paloma made up for it. So fresh and not too sweet! Tomato pesto jam was fantastic! So many flavors in one dish. Burger was great as always-- we added a spicy chipotle cole slaw they had on a seasonal dish on the side which was great. Sat at the bar for lunch and loved the atmosphere. Pretty busy for lunch time, but the service did not lack! read more

First time to Krueger's Tavern and it did not disappoint. The Mac n cheese was my favorite dish. It was creamy and had a nice crisp top. The beer cheese was another great dish. I will say the ration is a little off with the amount of pretzels, but you can order more for $3. I got the spicy burger and it was too spicy for my taste and i can handle a lot so just a warning for others! I will 100% come back the menu gas amazing choices it makes it hard to choose! read more

This place is right in the heart of OTR, and feels every bit like it (read: comfortable and hipster). The service is solid, the cocktails are strong, and the food is great -- I recommend the mac and cheese! read more

So happy it's back and in a GIANT new space. Fantastic service and equally fantastic food. Honestly, I missed this place so much! We had a quick dinner before heading to a show at Ghost Baby mid-week. They have a solid beer list, but the cocktails - oh my. I had the "Sage Advice" and it was full of unique flavor and so tasty, I ordered a second. I rarely do that, so it must be good. Not too sweet - but full of flavor. My husband and I split Krueger's burger. I thought about trying the Spicy Burger, but after sampling the spicy slaw that it came with (on top) I'm glad I didn't. It's not for the mild or even the adventurous. It's for someone that orders their Thai Food Thai Hot 10. As for drinks, one of our friends had a Tangerine Spritz and enjoyed it. It's a bit sweet for my taste, but I know that some people enjoy their cocktails on the sweeter side so this might be a good option. Can't wait to get back. When we walked in, someone warned us it was a 2 hour wait! (on a Tuesday night). So glad we made a reservation in advance. read more

Only went for a couple drinks and a small bite, ended up splitting one of the best pork sandwiches we've ever had!! read more

Krueger's Tavern - Italian Pork sandwich - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We really enjoyed our meal at Krueger's! The service was top notch. We started with the truffle chips and the charred veggie crudités. The truffle chips were so good, and came with a generous portion. I would definitely order them again! However, I would not recommend the veggie crudités. It was just confusing to have charred veggies served cold, and it was also disappointing that the largest portion of veggies was some incredibly bitter endive. We did still eat all but the endive, but wouldn't order again. For our mains we ordered the Italian pork sandwich and the bleu gruyere burger with a side of Mac n cheese to share. Both sandwiches were delicious! The Italian pork was piled high with shredded pork shoulder and the hot peppers added a much needed punch of acidity. The burger had an amazing onion jam and the bleu cheese was very prominent. We suspect the mac n cheese may be made with their beer cheese perhaps? Either way, it was so delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly tender, and there was a nice crisp cheesy crust on top. Everything was priced very reasonably as well. Our only other complaint is just that the tables are so close together. It was impossible not to hear the conversations on either side of us or feel like others were listening to our conversation. It is a small place, so I understand maximizing seating but it would be nice to spread the tables out a bit more. Overall, we would definitely return! There are other menu items we were intrigued to try. Definitely recommend! read more

The kale salad and burgers here are what keep me coming back! Never disappointed in dining in or takeout!

Kruegers never lets us down. The food and vibe are always wonderful! The burgers are fresh, delicious and creative whereas the fries are the best in the world! Last night, I enjoyed the blue Gruyère burger with a veggie patty instead of the beef, paired with the gooey and delicious Mac and cheese and the martini service! A fantastic way to relax and celebrate a Friday night! read more

Do you want elevated bar food with an instagram worthy ambiance? Look no further than Krueger's Tavern. Their burgers don't disappoint but their real winner is their luscious Mac and cheese. Staff is friendly and attentive. Reservations are must for any weekend trip. read more

Great food! Rooftop bar and eating area. They are far better than three stars but today our server was just the worst. We were seated at the same exact time as some other folks and they literally had their drinks and were placing their food order before anyone even came over to us. Our waitress took our order and brought our drinks. Didn't bring our food, came by to check on us long after we had been eating. I don't want go even mention how long it took to get our check. They weren't even that busy. Hoping to change my review, upon my next trip. read more

One of the best meals I've had in awhile! We sat outside at one of the sidewalk tables because they were full inside. Our server was great and very attentive. The food was delicious and worth every penny. My wife and I both had the chicken parm sandwich (mine was spicy and they made hers non-spicy) and we shared the fried mozzarella. My wife had a few drinks and really enjoyed them. I would highly recommend going here for lunch or dinner! read more

Really excited to try this place since they came back. The kale salad did not disappoint - one thing that restaurant group always knocks out of the ball park. The Mac & cheese is the real show stopper. Sooo soo good! I'm still thinking about it weeks later. Will definitely be back as this is one of my staple OTR spots now. read more

Our server's name was Taylor I think but she was great. It had been our first time back since they opened again and I have to say the food and ambiance didn't disappoint. We waited about ten mins for a table. I had the burger, truffle fries, and macaroni. I also tried their orange wine and it was so good. Can't wait to go back. read more

The food was so good. It was refined without being pretentious and the service was great.

This was my first time being in the Over The Rhine area, and Krueger's is a good start. My boyfriend and I were out and about looking to kill some time, so we stopped in here for some drinks and apps. I think this place's best quality is its rooftop bar. Sadly, it was too cold during our visit to get to experience it. But a definite for next time! It's a really cute, modern burger joint and a nice place to chill. The service is friendly and speedy quick here, too. They have plenty on their drink menu. I also like how it tells you where it's from, and there are a lot of Cincy-made options. Even though I haven't tried their burgers, it seems like that's what you come here for. We ended up getting the hot beer cheese with pretzels, and it was really great! It had a very warm, thick consistency and was so good. This is a cool OTR spot. I'd love to come back for a full meal sometime! read more

What a shame. First let me just say the best part of our meal was Alyssa. So sweet and an amazing server. The food however...Kruegers what have you done. You had the BEST Mac and cheese and you decided to replace it with a cheap, bitter and horrible replacement. Why??? The toast was dry, club sandwich was drier than the Sahara. burgers were meh. We were just here and it seems like maybe the chefs changed or something. You should fix it because it would be a shame to lose customers over these changes in the food quality. Lesson here: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Also, if a manager is asked to come to the table, then it's only nice to stop by and see what's up. read more

This was my fourth time visiting this restaurant and I have yet to be disappointed. I had the Blue Gruyere Burger the first time and it was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted (and I am a PICKY eater). I had the mozzarella sticks which actually came out looking like a large fish filet but I am not complaining; it was delicious and the perfect late night eat. I had their Kruger burger during burger week and when they say simplicity is just as good, it's true, especially with this burger. Last night I had the appetizer Hot Beer Cheese with pretzels, a side of fries with aioli dipping sauce, and the house white wine. I felt leaving satisfied and full! The environment is intimate and the perfect spot to meet up with friends or for a date. I have yet to encounter an unkind staff member and the server we had yesterday, Nick, was an absolute sweetheart. read more

I want to start this off by saying Taylor our waitress was absolutely amazing!! Which is why I'm leaving a 5 star review!! But we are beyond disappointed that the john Daly pitchers have been discontinued especially after driving from Chicago! Bring the john Daly pitchers back! They are a summer staple read more

Nice comfortable indoor seating. Service was ok. Appetizers were ok, I got Oysters Rockefeller and my wife got pesto and toast which kinda tasted like bruschetta. Both were good, not great. Truffle fries were the bomb, absolutely delicious. Sandwiches were ok at best, I got the pork shoulder and my wife got the grilled cheese. Both were meh....No way this place deserves a 4+ star rating. $70 plus tip for 2 people with no alcohol (maybe that was the problem). read more

So happy they are back open. We love the new ambiance! The food is still as great as it used to be. The bar service was wonderful. We went for lunch since they recently started doing lunch and it wasn't super crowded so we got right in. Definitely recommend trying! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious! Not what you would expect based on the name. The house-made veggie burger was even delicious!

Great burgers, good service, and the absolute best rooftop patio in the area. I've had a few of their burgers, and even the veggie burger is its own special thing here. More like a falafel than a burger, but definitely flavorful and definitely worth coming out for. In the past the selection of sausages have included some of my absolute favorite, like the merguez sausages. They also serve large salads and well done fries, can't complain read more

So Kruegers is back. I've actually never been but we've tried in the past at previous location. Nice location, nice decor albeit a bit smaller inside than I'd imagined? Got there around 8p, short wait, seated in back right at a bench/chair combo table and immediately noticed that the tables were stupid light and slid around like they were on ice? If the owners are reading this, maybe add some padding on bottom to fix this? Our server(Taylor iirc?) was super nice and attentive. We had questions, she answered them with no hesitation and knew the drinks and menu offerings very well. We ordered the Charred Veggie Crudite as a starter. Fancy words for grilled veggies that have been chilled and plated up with a side of tzatziki dip. I loved the carrots and Brussels sprouts. We ordered the Krueger's and Blue Gruyere burgers, a side of fries with vinegar aioli and the simple kale salad. I am telling you now, I am normally not a fan of kale but this salad was incredibly tasty. Fries were tasty but a bit undercooked and cold by the time they were delivered. The burgers were pretty tasty as well but the salad stole the show for me. Taylor was attentive during our entire stay here. Will we go back? I'd say so, but it will be for special occasions as it's a bit of a drive for us and a little out of our ordinary spending limit. read more
