Milkman, you were so, so, so good to me! I've never been into the restaurant, though I have gotten…read moreDoorDash once before. It was as delicious as I wanted it to be! When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

Absolutely love milkman! It's a consistent experience every time and I love the food! I get the…read moredeluxe burger with no bun and a side of fries with their house sauce and wow! My favorite part is that they are smash burgers and filled with flavor. The restaurant itself is in the heart of OTR and very clean.

It's always nice to have friendly staff and reasonable prices... like all the gold stars are aligning. As far as the meal itself was concerned: their chili is different enough from its competitors to be unique but similar enough that to me, it makes it a tossup on where it falls on my Cincinnati chili rank list. Just like Skyline and GS -- it's pretty doggone good. I had my three-way in the park nearby (wow, let's not take that sentence out of context!). Considering there's no real inside seating area, but tons of parks nearby. It's great for a grab and go and late night eating.

I've lived downtown for a year and pass this spot all the time, yet have never tried it only…read morebecause every time I go by it..it's packed, but last night I found them when they weren't busy and had to try it. Right off the bat, the staff was incredibly welcoming. The menu is straight forward and had a break down of what they offer. I had to try the coneys, but their double decker sandwiches also sound amazing (maybe for another day.) I decided on 3 coneys and an order of chili cheese tater tots and they absolutely did not disappoint. They offer a little bit of everything including a kids menu, and a tasty assortment of desserts as well. It's a perfect spot if you're looking for a quick meal while shopping downtown OR the most ideal food for a drunken night after car hopping in OTR.

I saw on their menu that they had a few options that included almond butter. They told me that the Pumba was award winning, so I went with that option. I loved the mixture of different flavors. The pretzel bun really made it complete. It was so filling and I ended up being glad that I tried something new. I highly recommend Quite Frankly to anyone looking for a quality hot dog!

The one-man mobile restaurant has become a staple of mine for every Reds game. All beef Nathan's hot dogs are the big seller with recent additions to the menu such as "mets" and the occasional bratwurst. He stocks a variety of toppings and condiments including ketchup, mustard, Cleveland's own stadium mustard, cheese, onions, and jalapenos to name a few. To wash down the delicious dogs, a choice of gatorade, water, or common canned pop products like mountain dew, coke, and pepsi can also be purchased. The prices are fair and definitely better than inside the stadium. At $3 a dog or 2 for $5 and pop or water for a buck, Drew's hot dog cart is a must-stop before venturing into GABP. This displaced Clevelander has become an avid Reds fan and is evident by his devotion to his work and extensive collection of bobblehead dolls on display. If you want an inexpensive meal with the "New York City vendor" feel, stop by and pick up a dog or two.

That being said, sometimes I feel that the level of service and attention to detail is not always up to par with some of the surrounding restaurants in Northside. I often order takeout, and there are usually things missing, so make sure you check the bag before you head out. I love the build your own salad option. I would love it even more if the lettuce was chopped and the ingredients that I picked and paid for were always included. Maybe my combinations seem strange, but personally, I would prefer to receive my personalized order made correctly. My friend once described his experience as apathetic, and while I will continue to support this business - I do agree that there is room for improvement.
