Came for Burger Week and ordered the $9 Sizzling Cheeseburger Plate. The burger was buttery,…read moreflavorful, and delicious. My only suggestion is that it could have been served a little hotter, especially since it comes on a sizzling hot plate. We stopped by on a random weekday around 11 a.m., and the diner was already bustling with customers. Even so, we were seated almost immediately. By noon, there was a noticeable line out the door waiting for tables. On a regular weekday, that's a pretty good sign that this place is a local favorite. You can really tell this is the kind of diner people return to again and again. It feels like generations of families have made it their go-to lunch spot, and it's wonderful to see a neighborhood restaurant with that kind of loyal following. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, checking in throughout our meal to make sure everything was good. I can definitely see why this diner is so well loved.

This place came highly recommended by our friends in the area, a Cincinnati-style chili restaurant,…read morewhich is well-known for its double-decker sandwiches, coneys, breakfast fare, and, of course, its three, four, five, and six-ways. They have a wide selection of various options, it has much more than outstanding chili. The place is very welcoming and inviting to all. We started of with the two of the Bavarian Pretzel with chili and beer cheese For my main course I opted for the Boss Hogg BBQ Burger, which is a 1/3lb. burger topped with pulled pork, BBQ sauce, bacon, Cheddar cheese, crispy onion. straws, pickles and mayo. My wife chose the Avocado BLT Burger which is a 1/3 lb. burger with sauteed onions, avocado, crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, Pepperjack cheese, and mayo. Both were outstanding. She had the onion rings as a side, while I went with the Fried Jalapeño Caps with the Southwest sauce. They have a wide range of options other that chili. But if you love chili and you are in the area one place to consider is this place, the draw here is the "No Freakin' Way" Challenge is a legendary 8-lb food challenge The massive platter consists of four main ingredients: 2.5 lbs of steaming spaghetti, 2.5 lbs of their signature Cincinnati chili, 2 lbs of shredded cheddar cheese, topped with 1 lb of fried, pickled jalapeño caps. It is a true test of one's metal. You have 60 minutes to complete the challenge, if you fail you will not only have to pay the nearly $80 dollar price tag, you will be added to the "Wall of Shame". To me the risk was just not worth it. Although may have tried. If you are risk taker who enjoys food comeption, this challenge is for you!

Think eclipse-level rare. This Saturday was no exception... except somehow we all had a lunch window. So naturally, like any responsible American family, we turned it into a food mission for BaldWhiteGuyReviews After consulting the sacred scroll of Yelp, I presented the following contenders to the Bald Group Chat Council: Broadway Barrel House - Lebanon, Ohio Cozy's Cafe & Pub - Liberty Township, Ohio Third Eye Brewing Company - Sharonville, Ohio Luigi's Ristorante Italiano - Mason, Ohio Silver Spring House Restaurant - Cincinnati, Ohio All strong contenders. But as with any family decision, chaos ensued. We landed on Third Eye Brewing... until we discovered they open at noon. Noon?! What is this, brunch for the elite?! Don't have time for that! So... runner-up takes the crown: Silver Spring House Restaurant We plugged it into Waze and cruised through Symmes Township... where every house whispered, "you can't afford me" We rolled in just after 11am. Big parking lot, filling up fast. Bright blue building screaming "vacation mode activated." Palm trees (probably fake, but there was a heated family debate ), surfboards, and even Mr. Red welcoming us like we just got traded to the Reds. Inside? Instant Florida Keys vibe. Never been... but I felt like I should be holding a fruity drink and ignoring responsibilities #RetirementGoals Decor included walls covered in 8x10 photos of what I assume are patrons. My question: how do I get MY picture up there? I too would like to silently judge people eating mozzarella sticks for eternity #TakeMyPicture Now let's talk seating...High-top tables everywhere. Perfect if you enjoy climbing furniture like it's an Olympic sport. #NoThanks Low tables? YES PLEASE. My knees and dignity thank you. At our table was a random historical photo that turned into an impromptu Civics exam. I knew the answer. No one else did. Did you pay attention to Mr. Owens at Miami Trace High School? Drop your guess below #AlwaysLearning #NoRelation Service:Our waitress, Jordon A -- fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and dropped off a PITCHER of water like a hydration superhero Now this is controversial...Some say that's lazy.I say it's GENIUS. Why are we not doing this everywhere?! I don't want to make eye contact every 3 minutes like I'm begging for survival hydration. Just leave the pitcher and let me live my life #GameChanger #StrongWork FOOD TIME Everyone (and by everyone, I definitely don't mean me ) was starving. We started with Roadhouse Skins $14.50 Loaded potato wedges with cheese, bacon, ranch... the holy trinity. ‍ Verdict: Good... not life-changing. Those thick wedges? Felt like I was eating a baked potato that hit the gym too hard. Needed Jasper Kitchen - steak fries energy.Cheese blend? Solid.Ranch drizzle? Tease. GIVE ME A SIDE CUP. Don't play with my emotions. #ProTip Mrs. Bald * Caesar Salad ($7.50) -- fresh, filling, approved * Buffalo Boneless Wings ($16.50) -- which is wild because... boneless wings are just expensive chicken nuggets with a college degree Huge portion. Crispy, saucy, excellent spice. Came with blue cheese... which tastes like it was aged in a gym sock #RanchPleaseCelery included so you can pretend you're making healthy choices. The Princess * Cheese Sticks ($13.50) Cooked perfectly. Crispy outside, gooey inside. Marinara? Chunky, flavorful, borderline drinkable My Son * BCJ Sandwich ($17.50) Chicken, bacon, cheese, fries... the holy sandwich alliance.He'd been here before (traitor) and confirmed it still hits. Left full and happy. Mission accomplished. The BaldWhiteGuy ‍ (Food Explorer Extraordinaire)I wanted to try everything. Family shocked. I don't know why. This is who I am. Went with:"Guac on the Wild Side" Sandwich ($17.50) Cajun chicken (spicy enough to wake up your ancestors), pepper jack, guac... you had me at guacamole. Now...Chicken breast was thin. Like... "this chicken skipped chest day" thin ‍Cheese? Also thin.BUT... the guacamole? Green, fresh, creamy... the MVP of the sandwich. Side of sweet potato (don't look at the butter... it's still healthy, mind your business) FINAL RATING:‍‍‍‍ -- 4 out of 5 Bald Heads PROS Huge space -- indoor & outdoor seating Friendly staff & vacation vibes Solid menu variety (of sandwiches ) Big portions CONS Price -- Total: $93.77 Now my family says I'm cheap... but $17.50 for a chicken sa

Very friendly staff and prompt service. I went there for breakfast and lunch on 2 different days…read more The breakfast was good and had a good selection of items. It was adifferent story for lunch -- I would avoid eating lunch here. They have a small bar area that they claim is full service, but with a very limited selection of beers. They supposedly had Yeungling beer on tap (my favorite) and I ordered a Tall glass of it. The beer tap ran dry, but they didn't have a spare keg of Yeungling to replace it with, so they simply put a paper cup over the handle and told me I was SOL. I was in there 4 days later and they still hadn't fixed the Yeungling. As far as lunch goes, I had a fish sandwich the first time and a BLT the next. Both were OK and edible, but nothing exceptional. It's basically a locals hangout breakfast place that offers lunch and dinner (on weekends) as a sideline. In summary, go for breakfast, but forget about lunch or dinner.

Big boy when you open the door you're greeted by a waft of great smelling brunch food like maple syrup and pancakes.

There's plenty of seating though! Now on to the food; I got ham and cheese croissant (to go), Yaki omelet sando. I asked if it is good and the cashier said it's the most popular menu item! The omelet sando is delicious: crunchy, salty savory, just perfect with the perfectly toasted sesame sprinkled white toast sandwich!
