This is probably my favorite place to go for breakfast in Ohio. My two favorite things food and supporting animal rescue. We walked in and immediately were greeted by multiple good mornings from the staff. They only serve breakfast and lunch here but the menu is really expansive. I wanted to do the pancakes which are dinner plate size but stuck with the basic breakfast because it's so yummy. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The hash-browns were delicious with just the right amount of brown and the bacon was perfectly crisp. Love that this place supports the animals. They feature adoptable pets on tv screens and do fundraising through out the year. Love that everyone seems to know each other. Servers are greeting guests by name. Just has a great diner feel to it. Very cozy and comfortable. Definitely with the trek to get here. read more

I love the staff, the food and the atmosphere. For lunch, I usually get the BLT or a burger and they're always perfect. It's my comfort food go-to place. read more

The food is mediocre- it's your typical breakfast joint. I had the Brad- I read reviews prior to our visit and The Brad was highly recommended. The server was very friendly and attentive. service was expedient. The best part was the baked goods. Took home from the front counter read more

Poochie's Place sits in a former KFC restaurant. They are open for breakfast and lunch and are always busy. The menu is diner fare. They do it well. We stopped in for lunch today and were lucky enough to grab a table right away. Our server was friendly and efficient. All of the servers truly hustle. We order a cheeseburger, fries, and coleslaw and a chicken salad sandwich with a side of onion rings. The burger was served with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion. It was juicy and well seasoned. The coleslaw was good and the fries were crispy. The chicken salad sandwich was served on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato. The chicken salad was homemade and fresh. The onion rings were crispy, not greasy. This is a great little place to have a tasty lunch or breakfast. It's homey and they treat everyone like a regular. read more

My boss had been talking about Poochie's for quite some time now, so recently, I said let's go because I wanted to check it out. What did I think? I really agreed with his fandom of the place. This definitely has a super local, all-American neighborhood grill feel, and the food is excellent. We went on a Wednesday for lunch. The place itself is open from 6am until 2pm and served lots of breakfast and lunch options straight off the grill. Seating is a little limited but it's not exactly a huge place. But what IS huge about it is the character and flavor of everything. You can tell this spot has a plethora of regulars because the servers all know them by first name. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. After a little perusing through the menu, I opted for the mushroom swiss burger as a platter with fries, and my boss got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and a bowl of beef stew with cornbread. We kept looking around at what everyone else ordered, and it all looked fantastic, especially the breakfast options. We didn't wait long at all before everything was ready and absolutely tasty. My burger had a mushroom sauce on it that was delicious of everything including the fries. Yeah, it was messy to eat, but worth it. My boss really liked his order, especially the beef stew, which was VERY hearty. And for the price, it was also a great deal. This is a great local grill with lots to offer. I could absolutely see going back, and likely, bringing my lady for lunch here. And definitely try their fresh made chocolate chip cookies. We got some to go and they were awesome! read more

Stumbled on to this nice little breakfast place traveling to a Kroger for some work stuff. - friendly staff - not a chain (I think) - had regulars - great breakfast food I really enjoyed so they get 5 stars. read more

The Chevy of diners; no chrome under the hood! Reliable, well-prepared food delivered hot and fresh; I'm a fan of their BLT but you can't go wrong with just about anything on this menu... read more

Amazing food, the people working there will spoil you. A must try if in area! We drive on road trip to enjoy breakfast with them.

First time here. Quiet little place in Amelia. Service was good. Blueberry pancakes were GREAT..! read more

Poochie's Place - Blueberry pancakes, eggs & bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amelia, Ohio

The food was good, service was basic. The downside was, my first time in. Asked about the menu. Server ask what i liked. I told her. Breakfast came out, it was a big amount of food. Ate what i could. Bill came. Every item was charged ala carte cost. One of the breakfast plates was exactly what I wanted. My meal was within $1.00 of double the cost of the menu item. When the manager/owner rang it up, he looked at the bill, shrugged and rang up the $16 for my breakfast. I drank water. It was eggs, potatoes, single biscuit, gravy and side of grits. No coffee. My mistake. My daughter is a long time server; her opinion is that server should have said that is the __ plate. How to you want your eggs? So be certain you know their menu well enough yo ask for exactly what they serve or be prepared to pay for each ingredient at full retail price. read more

Always great!! Food and service Love it!!! Breakfast or lunch Sell great jellies and honey too read more

Great little place. Very friendly staff. Very attentive. Food was great tasting and good size portions. Need to try the pancakes.

Service is always amazing. Opens at 6am. Customize your breakfast. They have Blueberry pancakes with plump blueberry's. The breakfast sandwich on a toasted croissant is another one of my favorites. Lunch- Poochie burger is a must with fresh cut French fries! Check it out! read more

Good service & Good Food - definitely would go again. Waitress was super helpful with menu selection as we'd never been before read more

We came here for breakfast one morning and it was a nice experience. A very small place lol. The food was good but honestly nothing special to be honest. It's a nice neighborhood mom and pop kind of breakfast place. Service was fast and it was good. If you're looking for a simple neighborhood mom and pop breakfast place - definitely come here and support the small local businesses. Nice people! read more

Good, home cooking. Fantastic service. This teeny little restaurant is very cozy. You get a community type feel while inside. The dishes are nothing fancy but are fresh and large portions. read more

Food and service is always superb. Friendly servers and then there is Katie. The best.

Great food great service. Only negative is you have to get there early for a seat. It gets really busy.

Poochie is a great restaurant. They treat you like family and get to know your name and the food is homemade very friendly. I highly recommended. read more

The menu is varied and has something for everyone. The food is delicious! The staff is always courteous and helpful. I like to be able to get homemade soups. Yummy read more

Very good food and reasonably priced. Pleasant conversation. Friendly service. My daughter and I have gone there many times. It's a small restaurant but Big in flavor and not big in price. I would recommend Poochies to all my friends. If you haven't eaten there and give it a try. Enjoy read more

Poochie's is a breakfast and lunch café located near Amelia by the Kroger. The staff is always friendly and conversational. This is a regular breakfast stop for my wife and I. The three egg omelette is made just the way you like it and they don't skimp on the ingredients. All breakfast portions are generous. The coffee never stops until you say no more! You'll find goetta on the menu, too. You're in the Cincinnati area, why shouldn't it be?! There are regular lunch specials and the portions are just as generous as the breakfast options. Be sure to pick up some fresh baked cookies when you pay your tab. read more

The food definitely fresh and this place had Geotta! The service is great no matter what server you have. I will say the prices are kinda high and I never got a refill but he restaurant is welcoming and is the quintessential local gem! read more

Visited on a Sunday morning. Very busy. We got French toast and biscuits/gravy. I will say the servings are very large. The taste and price are both average. The food was good but not anything special or amazing. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. read more

You can tell it's a local favorite. It's Halloween and the workers and even some of the customers are dressed in costumes. The place seems clean, it's very busy and quite noisy for a Tuesday morning. Not much you can say about over easy eggs and bacon, but I enjoyed my breakfast. I would recommend when in the area. read more

I walked in and was laughing. This spot for sure used to be either a Burger King or a Wendy's. There is a drive through and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The service is typical diner service. You get a little sass with your meal. Which I don't mind. The coffee was a bit weak for my taste and they were running low on condiments. But there was only one server working when I got there. I was torn between sweet and savory and went with both. The eggs were cooked well. They seem to be known for their Goetta which is like sausage with oats I guess. It was fine. The hash browns were good. The waffle seemed generic. But hit the spot. It's a fun little sleepy morning spot for a good quick and filling breakfast read more

My wife and I have been eyeing Poochie's Place for a while, but we don't get out to breakfast very often. After an unfortunate, early trip to the ER, we left and were starving, so we finally decided to give it a try. Great classic diner vibes all throughout. After perusing the menu, I landed on a bowl that had a little bit of everything: scrambled eggs, a biscuit & gravy, hash browns, bacon, and cheese. Can't remember exactly what it was called. My wife ordered a spinach omelette. We waited probably ten or fifteen minutes and were greeted with our breakfasts. I jumped right in, and was immediately satisfied. Fluffy biscuit, crispy bacon, melty cheese. But the gravy was the all-star. Perfectly seasoned, the gravy brought the whole dish together beautifully. A tasty breakfast that was a great price for what ended up being two meals, since I was full about halfway through it. My wife didn't seem to enjoy her meal as much as I did mine, but she didn't have any real complaints. Must have been the lack of gravy ;) I'll definitely be back in next time I'm looking to grab breakfast out. read more

The orders took more than double the time quoted for my orders to be ready. The Bradstreet was terrible. The egg wasn't done. It was more like breakfast soup. The breakfast bowl was pretty good and the fried waffle was nothing special. That place it little and packed all the time. I wish it were more appealing to me. It seemed to be a hot spot. Maybe it's one of the only family owned spots still around. The workers aren't too friendly either. read more

The food was delicious and the service was so good! Everyone was so friendly!! Cannot wait to bring my family back here! read more

Poochie's Place - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amelia, Ohio

In the area and chose this diner based on good Yelp reviews. Was not disappointed! The food was delicious and the prices were good. I'd consider it a "corner diner" style place but located in an old fast food restaurant. Sunday at 10:30am they were packed. The wait wasn't terrible and our server was prompt and friendly. My teenage son ate every morsel of his giant breakfast bowl, but I need a box for the other half of my omelette meal. We would go back if we were in the area again. read more

To keep this nice and easy, I love this place. Cozy, classic tiny diner with great food and a welcoming staff. Hours are a bit limited, but if you get out of bed to go youll be happy about it. Great prices and real great food. Chocolate chip pancakes are my go to and I love them. Have also tried the french toast breakfast sandwich and it too was delicious. Have been told they've got a great lunch menu, and based on how good the breakfast is I dont know how anything out of that kitchen could be bad! Definitely a must try if you haven't been before. read more

This place is such a down home little restaurant. The servers are friendly and the food is all made from scratch. Coffee is always hot and filled to the rim. It is seat yourself. If there is a line don't leave. It is worth the wait. Everything on the menu has been delicious read more

Great food and service. If you're looking for a relaxed setting and a good meal you've found your place. It reminds me of a diner but located in what appeared to be a previous fast food place. Service was fast and friendly, prices were fair, portions were appropriate, and the food was absolutely delicious. The place is nothing fancy but boy was it good. Absolute must try's are the breakfast casserole and the bradster. Pictured is the small order for the bradster, do yourself a favor and get the big one, leftovers are never a bad thing. read more

It was packed on a Saturday morning. We thought the pancakes and bacon were excellent and it was very affordable.

I'm not sure I want to share this place with y'all cause then, the secret won't be a secret anymore. But, I want to support local businesses so I guess I'll let you in. This is my favorite breakfast spot in town and I LOVE the food. I also can say that they really cook here. It's a good ole fashioned diner and it's definitely not fast food. It does take time so if you're in a rush, find another place. I've had an omelet and I've had eggs over easy with biscuits and sausage. Both times, I was blown away by how much food they serve for such a good price. I also chowed on almost every single bite cause it's so dang good!!! Next time, I gotta try the deep fried waffle. I was told it's enough for 2 people, so let's see if I care to spare a square. read more

As a native of Cincinnati, I adore Goetta. Puis is the one place to go for a great breakfast served with Goetta.

Great food for a good price. They also have drive through if you need. Their breakfast is plentiful and they also serve lunch. I recommend their sloppy joe with Cole slaw and add onion rings as a side :) read more

I love restaurants like these! Full parking lot, always a good so that's always a good sign. I had the GLT goetta, lettuce and tomato. Great service Lauren was cool. I'd eat there every day. read more
