Went to Milford location of Buffalo Wings and Rings on July 28th with my niece and her husband who…read morewere visiting for the weekend. We decided to take in the major wing deal (40% off) going on for Nat'l Chicken Wing Day & the 40th Anniversary. So glad we did!! Tried new flavors (to us) and they were spectacular! Of course, I got my Buffalo Medium sauce but we all shared bites. Next time, I'm definitely getting that Blueberry Bourbon for myself! Also of note was the Lemon Ice seltzer/ beer on tap. As advertised and de-lish!! This could be the best poolside drink on the market. Refreshing! As for the ambiance and service, very good on both counts. Expectedly, it was crowded (special on wings!). The bartender who also covered our table was flying! Personable, proficient, and our "special orders" came out perfectly. Definitely recommend this location. Definitely recommend these Wings sauces!

Stopped here today for lunch. Haven't been for a while ages wanted to give it another chance…read more Ordered the wings and fries deal for $12.49 and a Blue Moon to go with. Beer is on tap, so if you've had a Blue Moon on tap, you know it's pretty tasty. Ordered the wings extra crispy and the fries without seasoning. Wings were just ok, not well done enough, I told her he could almost burn them, but that didn't work out. Fries were good enough, fresh, fluffy and crispy. It was fine, but nothing to get too excited about. Quaker Steak had a similar lunch option for $9.99 and has Blue Moon on tap as well, so if I had the choice, I'd rather go there. Food is higher quality and cheaper and the beer is $3.50 cheaper.

I wish I ordered 5 instead of 1. I can eat those all day long. Never have I ever had cornbread that bomb in my life. Come get you some! The lovely lady upfront with the red curly hair was nice and helpful. The other cashier which was a young boy also seemed pretty nice! If you're craving BBQ, ya'll gotta come try this spot out. It's right off the freeway. Nice building with a good amount of seating.

Look, as the winner of the 1992 Barbecue Competition, with Gary Burbank as judge, I'm basically the…read moreLeBron James of ribs. I've eaten my way through every smokehouse in Cincinnati, so when I say Midwest Best BBQ is the real deal, believe me. My arteries are practically Yelp-certified. The team of servers and cooks seems like they recruited an entire football team of young men from the University of Cincinnati; service so fast you'd think they were running a two-minute drill, attentive enough to make your mom jealous, and coordinated like they're protecting the quarterback only this time, the quarterback is your pulled-pork sandwich. Their wings, rubs, and sauces? Every single flavor profile was so good I nearly proposed to the coleslaw. And don't get me started on the G-Funk wings. They're delightful, though naming wings after a rap genre means you half expect Dr. Dre to hand you wet wipes. And let's talk about the smoking schedule. They've got a night smoker and a day smoker, which sounds less like a BBQ setup and more like a buddy-cop movie: "Day Smoker plays by the rules, Night Smoker breaks 'em, but together they deliver justice... in the form of brisket." Mark, one of the owners, literally smokes meat during a half-day shift with the love and passion of a Michelin-star chef who moonlights as Cupid. This guy makes ribs like he's serenading them. If Hallmark made a "Brisket Romance" channel, Mark would star in every single movie. I bought several pounds of meat to take home. Not "a pound." Several. Because nothing says "self-control" like hiding a bag of smoked chicken behind your kale in the fridge. Exclamation point. Period. Now, location... ...here's the kicker. They're hidden off the road over a hundred yards. That's right, it's the Area 51 of BBQ. You basically need Google Maps, a Sherpa, and divine intervention to find them. Yet, somehow, when you do, it feels like stumbling upon the Ark of the Covenant... ...only tastier, and fewer Nazis melting. Inside? Casual. TVs locked on Bengals or Reds games, so you can watch disappointment while you eat happiness. Patio? Shaded. Perfect for when you want to sweat from the hot sauce, not the sun. The sides? Top echelon. Beans, slaw, cornbread, each one a little sidekick to the main meat superhero. And for the low-carb crowd, this place is a protein paradise. Keto bros rejoice: you can bench-press your brisket guilt-free. Bottom line: Midwest Best BBQ doesn't just feed you, it baptizes you in smoke, sauce, and joy. And if you're not leaving with meat sweats, did you even go?

We were looking for a lunch spot on New Year's Day and lots of restaurants were closed, but we did…read morefind that Quaker Steak & Lube was open. It was packed. The wait time was about 15 minutes to be seated. And we were told that there were several large parties there not to give up on the server, but we would be served as soon as possible. We waited for our food for about 35 to 40 minutes, which we knew it would be a bit longer, but since they have TVs all around and there were sports on, it didn't seem like that long. They communicated all along where we were in the process. Which it's always helpful when they let you know they haven't forgotten about you. The salad was a large proportion. The cheese curds were out of this world. This might be my go to salad each time I come. All in all we spent about two hours there and the place had emptied out by the time we were finished. Our server was amazing with keeping up with everybody and her area.

I used to be the Yelp King here. I brought so many groups to the Milford location the waitresses…read moreknew us by name and brought our preferred drinks out without asking. By Golly's used to be the place where you left wondering if you'd just pulled off a heist...huge portions, real flavor, actual value. Now it feels like the new management has flipped the model to: charge more, deliver less, hope nobody notices. We noticed. Prices are premium, but the experience is bargain-bin. One overworked employee juggling the entire floor on a half-full Sunday isn't service...it's triage. And the food? Bacon so undercooked it practically squeals, burgers and buns burnt like they lost a bet, and somewhere under the carbon you can taste what used to be a pretty good patty. If you eat in, they have those fancy new platters for improved presentation...I'd rather have good food than a sexy plate. The milkshake is the real magic trick...almost $7 for a "large" that's one-third whipped cream, two-thirds regret (looked like 8-10 ounces of shake). Across the street, you get about 3X more, better, faster, and cheaper. That's not competition...that's a tutorial. To-go order? No napkins, no utensils. Fast food places get that right...and for a third of the price. But hey, nice paper boxes. Really elevates the disappointment. At this point, it's not a restaurant with a bar...it's a bar where food is an afterthought. Fancier plates, sure, but that's lipstick on a burger that used to matter. They might be making money for now, (although I've not seen the Milford parking lot packed since the old management) but this is how places lose the room...families fade out, regulars disappear (except for the bargain beer drinkers...heck I may come for $3 Miller Lites in March, but I'll eat elsewhere), and suddenly "pretty good" becomes "why are we here?" I wondered by their reviews have tanked. It didn't used to be like this. That's a problem...and yet with all the locations it's as if they think they're worthy of franchising. I could go to a big chain, buy a much better couple of burgers, fries and a shake and afford new platters and still get a better meal and reusable utensils and plates, for much less. I give em 2 years. What private equity firm would even look at such a mediocre product. I used to be one of their biggest fans. :-( In accordance with Yelp standards, no specific competitors were mentioned in this review. Only the general state of the competitive market.

Nothing to write home about- I think what we really need to talk about are these sweet potato fries with the pine sauce. I'm a saucy girl. Pine sauce was orange marmalade brown sugar, and coconut flakes. I thought I died and went to heaven. The sweet potato fries tasted like a dessert.

I'm the kind of person who can eat some spice but I don't like every bite to be burning. So it was good, barely any heat. Unless my taste buds are just off lol. I liked the bun. I thought the slaw didn't really have much apricot flavor but maybe it's not that strong or it's covered up by the flavor of the chicken. The potato cakes with the whipped feta and apple butter were really good! I also tried the Tollhouse pie. It came out warm and chocolatey with a good flakey crust. It was a bit expensive especially since if you got a sandwhich the sides were an extra charge.

Mark had the bologna sandwich. He said it wasn't "thick cut", but rather more like several of pieces of bologna fried together. He was disappointed. One person ordered potato skins for their lunch.
