Erika and her team have an amazing thing going. The drinks are on point and who could forget about the wings. The new dry rubs (chipotle ranch and nashville hot peanut butter) and great but nothing beats the cajun dry rub. Make sure to get the jalapeno honey mustard sauce on the side. read more

One of the best hidden gems of Cincinnati and NKY! The wings are outstanding and voted among the top in the Tri-state, but the service is second to none! Erika and Staci are the backbone of a well-oiled machine who always put their customers and community first! Incredible bourbon selection for those who imbibe in the brown water and the cheese bites are borderline addiction. There is plenty of patio space for outside dining as well. Please consider this establishment when craving great food and even better customer service! Always a go to!! read more

Midway has the best wings in the Tri-State area. The Cajun Dry Rub is next to none. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The entire staff are very nice and friendly. Small local hometown feel when you eat inside. Highly recommend stopping by or grabbing something to go. read more

Best wings in the area and such an amazing bourbon collection. A family feel when you walk in because of the great southern hospitality. Dry rub wings with a side of the many options of sauces are a must. read more

Really don't have that much to say. Friend recommended them for the wings. Tried them. All are smoked. Ordered classic buffalo. Didn't taste much of the buffalo over the smoke. Not a fan. Ordered the classic. Burger, egg, bacon, and cheese with fries. They ONLY serve in house made ketchup. They do NOT have anything else. So I have no idea how the burger and fries are because the fake ketchup is horrible. read more

I just recently discovered this eatery and I can definitely say the biggest sell for me is the prices - the prices here are GREAT! I got a loaded burger, 3 toppings, for under $5 and they had a great special going on the night I went - .99 cent tacos! Decent portions, too. As far as the atmosphere, my friends and I were not that impressed - of course, we came well late into the night, so many of the patrons had gotten their drink on. We were lucky to snag a table outside - they do NOT have outdoor seating available after 10 p.m. per a law in KY we were told. However, we DID grab a table just outside the door that happened to qualify as "on their property", so we were able to escape the noise and enjoy the outdoors. We had a GREAT waitress - she was willing to chat it up with us a bit and was incredibly friendly! She took our orders wonderfully - we got our food exactly as we ordered it. However, the time it took to get the food was a bit lengthy - I'd ordered a taco and a burger, and for some reason my taco came out first and it took 15 more minutes to get the rest of the food (I was one of 3 in the group). Overall, I enjoyed the cafe - the food was delicious, they had a great selection of drinks, and I loved our server. The only thing that would keep me from returning is the bar-like atmosphere of loud people and blaring music that we encountered. It can get crazy noisy and the seating is not too comfortable. I might try this during the daytime at some point to see if there's a difference. read more

This is my favorite place for wings. If you like some spice I recommend the amazing honey garlic Sriracha. These wings are meaty not puny. Smoked flavor is hinted in the background. Plenty of cold beer on tap and parking is available on the street. During warm weather outdoor seating is the best. read more

We were looking for a place to eat before catching a concert at Riverbend Music Center. This place was perfect! My husband had the Ultimate Grilled Cheese and I had the BLT. Both were delicious and the fries that came with them were hot and crispy! Reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and and quick! We will definitely be returning if we're ever in the area again. read more

I grew up near the Midway and always hated coming here as a kid. Now that I'm older and they're under new ownership, I was willing to give it a try. The place was packed but they were understaffed. Our waitress was extremely rushed and didn't look us in the eye or seem to care about our table. I ordered a margarita and it had salt at the bottom, my mom couldn't even drink hers. Though the drinks and service were lacking the food was amazing! I ordered the wings and they were very flavorful. My parents had wraps with Saratoga chips and they enjoyed theirs as well. read more

Sat at the bar the beer was ice cold.. no domestic draft kinda disapointing but we made due.. the food was awesome... be aware the steak hoagie is not what you r used to its more like a philly steak but it was delish the appetizers are huge and the best ive ever had i highly recommend the fried pickles and cheese bites... also the salads r huge i mean big enuff for 3 peeps ... im rambling just go try it urself read more

Midway Cafe - My peeps - American Near Me - Fort Thomas, Kentucky

I am new to the area. I wanted to have a lunch with a new friend and she said let's go to Midway. I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the place. I thought maybe it's just another sports bar with overpriced beer. The front left side was a full old fashioned bar.The right side had seating at a high side tables. I wished that they had booth seating because she had a baby and I was worried baby might not be safe on top of the table. We were greeted by one of the female owners who took our order immediately. I ordered the single cheeseburger which was the juiciest cheeseburger I have ever had. This burger had lettuce, pickles , tomatoes, onions and had my choice of american, cheddar, pepper jack, swiss or provolone. I ordered the provolone on my burger, I also had a order of cheese fries with bacon bits on top. I want to let the world know that this really was the freshest tasting cheeseburger. It was cooked perfect and juicy as all get out delicious. My fries were freshly fried with cheese and the bacon.These were also cooked fresh and even tasted like they just cooked it the bacon too. My friend ordered the chicken wings with the sweet and spicy sauce. The wings were sizzling fresh when they arrived at the table, She couldn't stop telling me that these wings are the best she ever had. She insisted that I give one a try. I will say that I'm not much of a wing girl until Now. I have to say for real these wings were the best I ever put in my mouth. The wings here are not your average frozen pieces you usually get in restaurants. These wings were big and fresh and slow cooked and then flash fried to get the perfect crisp. I helped myself to 4 of her wings because these really are the best wings I have ever tasted. I was so impressed that I ordered a 10 pack of wings to come home with me for my husband to try. BTW he now is a huge fan. Bottom line is if you are looking for good fresh food then stop by Midway it's right across the street from the Ft Thomas Tower park. I will tell you this is a old fashioned bar atmosphere so if you are looking for a family atmosphere then just order the takeout. You will not be disappointed. read more

Went their because we heard the wings are the best, we were not disappointed, they were great. The burgers are also good. Sitting outside and having a few bourbons makes for a perfect evening! Everyone there is friendly and the service is great. read more

My favorite place for wings and bourbon! Great service, friendly staff, and a nice outdoor space when the weather cooperates. My wife says the other food is good, but I've never ordered anything except wings! The bar is always well staffed, if you need another drink or something else just give someone a look and they are happy to help you. Fries go well with the wings, especially when you dip them in whatever homemade wing sauce you ordered! read more

Best chicken wings (get the dry-rub variety) in the tri-state!

We were there last night. Food was great, staff was awesome. They look out for each others' tables when they have other duties, kitchen staff delivers food when busy, but you still have "your" waiter. Fun: family and pet friendly. Food is always hot and yummy. read more

Nobody wanted to serve us.. Jamie was supposed to be our server and she is so unbelievably rude, we asked for a manager over her behavior and she refused, after she refused to give us service, called us a dumb bitch for asking for our bill after she was refusing to serve us, I am highly highly upset over this experience and I will never be returning. read more

So its tough to rate this place. The Burger I had was so good. The service was spot on. Their beers and bourbon selection very good. But, i went for lunch and i paid far too much for a burger, side salad, and iced tea. The food was good, but the value is questionable. read more

My wife and I have been here about 5 times. This place has outstanding wings! Im sure the other food is outstanding as well but every time we go, we order the wings! read more

We had a great experience here last Tuesday! Staff was super attentive and was constantly making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. We had a burger and wings. The burger was juicy without making the bun soggy; however it's the wings that made our visit great! The wings were smoked (which obviously gave them phenomenal flavor) yet not dry at all. And they were slathered (not drowned) in sauce. We washed it all down with a great selection of craft beers that were more rare finds than your average Cincy bar. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great food. Highly suggest the wings. Good restaurant, not bar food. Buffalo chicken wrap is also delicious.

The food was amazing and the staff were very kind and helpful. Please support this local business!!!!

This place has seriously turned around with the new owners. It's been under new management for a couple years now, but have not had a chance to get in. The food is delicious and fresh. The staff is actually nice in comparison to the last time I ate here. And they are finally smoke free, which is a huge deal in KY. Everything is moderately priced and the decor is update and cute for a towny restaurant/bar. It's always hopin during great weather with people sitting on the front patio/sidewalk. Great job new owners!! read more

Tonight was the 2nd stop here after we had eaten here a while back and the server said wings were a must! So they have a decent pub menu, and room enough for 12-15 taps. So as suggested I tried the wings, I got the Hot buffalo sauce and they had several other options, both sauced and dry rubbed. Now about the actual wings they are delicious, they are meaty and the smoked flavor is on point. They are truly jumbo wings! The service leaves a little to be desired, which is what got them 4 stars instead of five. At any rate this is a neighborhood gem that I hope to get back to regularly. So go try the wings I think they'll stand up to any expectations that you hold them to! read more

KASK: The wings here are AMAZEBALLS! The only issue I have is not being easily able to bring my favorite toddler-dates, since the place doesn't offer its more discerning clients highchairs. Ain't that a kick in the dingding? I got a little weepy about it. Halfway thru the meal, looking at those giggly twins, worrying when I'd be ever able to have them bouncing them on my knee again. Despite the chaos of chasing them over salad and wings, with their sweet mama and yaya needlessly apologizing for the harmless spilt water, I could have spent all day there. I was home. For a bit. A missed chance for more. For all of us, maybe. Sure, things might've been different, had there been better places to sit. Probably not. Sometimes, where you are doesn't matter. But maybe someday, it can. Lots of love, sitting uncomfortably at the Midway that day. Dodi misses it very much. read more

This is possibly the best wings in greater Cincinnati! I try to get up there for the wings about every week or two. The wings are amazing! The wings are very large. They smoke them before flash frying and the flavor comes through. I've had just about every sauce they offer and they were all good. I really like the Carolina gold for a mild and they have a Chiplotle sauce which is just the right heat in my opinion. I really like the Cajun dry rub too though, hell I like them naked! I prefer to get them with Cajun dry rub and pay extra to get a couple sauces on the side for dipping. I haven't tried the Nutella sauce yet, though I've heard that's best on the wings so that it's the right consistency. I'll post again when I try them. The wings come in groups of ten which is a pretty filling meal for a full size guy. But there always seems to be room for more wings, because myself and and 2 friends ate 50 in one sitting. I have done the Midway Mayhem Wing Challenge. I was so enticed by my love of their wings that I thought "what the hell". They were HOT!! You can't drink while you eat them or for 5 minutes after (I forget the actual time). Eating them before time is up isn't too bad, in fact the faster you get them down: the better. The hard part is the slow wait for that glass of water in front of you after you're done. Then the next day, the challenge begins anew when nature calls!! It's enough to make me hesitant to do it again. Besides, the heat the sauce had great flavor, but there was too much heat for me to enjoy it. I prefer to eat wings a bit less hot, a bit more slowly, and enjoy the whole experience. I'd like to tell you about the staff. They are incredible. They are very friendly folks and always seem happy to help. The owners are also very nice and I see them there all the time. One day me and a group of buddies were sitting outside in the front. When two of my friends got bird crap dropped on them from above about ten minutes apart; Erika, one of the owners, brought us bird poop shots as a joke and consolation. If I lived in Ft Thomas, this would be my hangout, for sure. I've also heard wonderful things about their burger, but I can't bring myself to order one when I'm there because I love the wings so much! If ever I try it, I'll post about that too. read more

This neighborhood cafe is the best! The staff is so friendly, the wings are to die for, and the ultimate grilled cheese is the very best there is. The owners do so much giving to the community, and when you go there you are greeted as a friend! read more

Amazing service. Always greeted like you're family! The food is amazing! The salads are huge and the bourbon selection is top notch!

This place is amazing, food is incredible, service is polite, respectful and quick, and the environment is so chill and good to be around

Great chicken wings and attentive service in a cool and casual atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

One of my new favorite places. The food, drink selection, and service are amazing. Try the wings they are amazing. Cajun dry rub are my favorite so far. Enjoy! read more

Great home town bar. Best wings in town and a great staff and top notch bourbon collection. Bourbon slush always hits the spot on a warm day. read more

It's a great place to grab a bite to eat--the food is outstanding. The outdoor seating is a nice touch. It's got a good selection of beers on tap and high end bourbons on the shelf, but it feels more like a restaurant than a bar to me. That's not a bad thing, it's just not my thing--different strokes for different folks. read more

Wings are delicious, beer is cold and the staff is very nice. Last time there we sat outside in the back. I think the waiter forgot about us a couple times... but was apologetic for this. Make sure they know you are out back if you want table service. Other than that I have had GREAT service and food every time we go there. read more

I went here with my wife on a Friday night. Their wings were unique and phenomal. I believe they dry rubbed and then smoked them, but whatever it was gave them a great texture and kept them extremely moist and flavorful. Their burgers and fries were pretty good as well. I think the cafe shifts into more of a bar atmosphere around 7-8pm, so I recommend going early if you just want to sit down and enjoy dinner. When we went there was a band playing, which limited the seating and was a bit loud for eating dinner. read more

Food was very underwhelming and took a long while. Philly was terribly dry and small. not worth the trip.

Love this place and its neighborhood atmosphere. Their BLTs, burgers, and wings are incredible and they have a really nice selection of bourbon. I can't believe I've lived in Ft. Thomas for years and never went until this summer! read more

This place is great. Great bar atmosphere with an impressive bourbon selection. Always a lively environment and clean, no smoking. I have not tried any food here that I did not like. The Carolina Gold wings are AMAZING. My favorite place in Fort Thomas! read more

I have been here multiple times. Not only is the staff very friendly and helpful they have a large selection of bourbon!!!

Great place to hang! So far so good. Great food, friendly staff, large drink selection including whiskey, craft beer and various liquor options as well as and good music! I recommend this place for lunch/dinner. read more
