Grab a seat at the bar or a high top in the bar area, and you'll be treated to exemplary hospitality by Martina and the rest of the staff. I always order the salmon, I have never been disappointed, it is prepared perfectly every time! My husband usually gets the Flo's filet or the entree salad with chicken tenders in it. The steak is always cooked perfectly and/or the salad is always fresh and the chicken is tender and well seasoned and tasty. The service is very attentive and you will not be waiting for drink, beer,wine refills. The restaurant area along with the restrooms is always clean , with pleasant lighting. This is my "go to" place when I want salmon, it is prepared better here than many high end restaurants.

We stopped in on the Saturday of 4th of July weekend, which is usually very slow for restaurants. We were the only people in the place from 6-7pm, so they were very slow. We had the $1 chicken wings special and the fried pickles. The wings were pretty good, I'd get those again. The pickles were not good, super soggy and not cooked long enough, skip those. The employees were friendly. it's good to see a place that can survive this long is still rolling.

I've never had a waiter or cashier who was rude despite how tired they must be running the show by themselves and honestly they deserve a good tip for it. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a lot of natural light that isn't glaringly overwhelming and makes it feel like an early morning with family at home some days. Occasionally, they'll slip a little extra food into whatever you've ordered (my case w/ the bacon this morning) and it's always a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure if it's an accident or intentional, but it makes me hate being alive a little less. Thank you, IHOP kitchen cook.

Exactly like I remembered during my vacation in Spain. It was so comforting to get a real Sangria and not a fruit cocktail with a drop of wine. Well done! The staff was so friendly and attentitve.

The menu consists of numerous protein and vegetable options including vegan. The Mac N Cheese was a baked homey delight, the fried Okra was a well seasonend crispy goodness that tingled the taste buds with every bite, the collard greens cooked with smoked turkey and cornbread were perfection, the fried catfish was a visual delight; seasoned well and crunchy to the touch. My family members cooed over the cabbage, the sweet potatoes (not from a can), the chicken tenders, chicken wings with multiple sauce selections and the fried, flakey cod fish. I highly recommend the Watermelon Lemonade! Desserts were also on the menu without a doubt. A selection of pies, cakes, banana pudding and I must say the cookies and cream cheesecake cup was a chef's kiss at the end of a wonderful meal. This establishment knows homedown Soulfood and took us on a return journey to the kitchens and tables of our grandmother's and big momas. I can't say enough great things about my previous experiences at this establishment nor my most recent. Hats off and kudos to the owner, Nicky Nicole Stevenson; her staff and their knowledge of Soulfood cooking with great restaurant service needed in Cincinnati. I plan to frequent & bring more large parties in the future.

The restaurant was clean, though there were quite a few items near the front that probably shouldn't be visible to customers. The food was good overall!
