    Mettwurst and Schnitzel
    Walter B.

    Other than parking (street parking was free til 2 today) it was a very good experience. The service was friendly and the food very tasty.

    French Fries with Curry Sauce

    Came to queen city radio for drinks, and was pleasantly surprised to see that this truck was here as well. Tried the German Hotdog which was solid, as well as the pretzel, and the fries. I think my favorite was the fries with curry sauce, very flavorful and a good combination with a drink. Service was quick and welcoming. And obviously ambiance was great bc weather was perfect and there is outdoor seating. Highly recommend grabbing food from here!

    Schnitzel sandwich with fries!

    I mean, look at the picture!! Do you need to know anything else?! Loved everything about this sandwich, from the pretzel bun to tangy sauce, to giant crispy schnitzel, part of which I cut off and took home for later. The fries were delicious and I even got them rot/weiss (with mayo and ketchup) just like I always had in Germany! I also got a side of curry to try ($1 extra I think) and it was very good too. It was a cold day, so we sat inside at Queen City Radio and had a beer, and they texted when the food was ready. Honestly, we came here for the food though and I can't wait to go back!

    I was looking forward to going to Queen City Radio and was pleased to find out that this was the food option available. If you don't already know, Cincinnati is known for their German food. It's this interesting history tidbit that I recommend you explore. Anyway, I was looking forward to trying some food while I was out and about. I can't really break down this establishment into all of the categories that I usually do for restaurants, because it is more of a food stand. I will say that their hours are mainly Thursday through Saturday, with the exception of FCC games. Anytime there is a home game, they will be present. If you're looking to dipping your toe into German cuisine, I think this is a safe bet to try. Food (5/5) Like I said, I knew I wanted schnitzel. They advertise this awesome sandwich that had the delicious fried pork accompanied by lettuce and tomato on a pretzel bun. I was shocked when I received my sandwich, in a positive way. It is huge. I definitely think this is some thing that two people could eat. The schnitzel was perfectly fried. The pretzel bun had a great texture and was salted nicely. There is an aïoli sauce on it, which you should ask for more of to spread along the remaining schnitzel. I think you should get fries in addition to the sandwich if you are looking for a full meal. I saw a lot of other people ordering their pretzels, which also looked really good. The sandwiches only $11 and I think well worth the cost. This is a tremendous value. Service (4.5/5) The staff were nice and attentive. They gave me the additional sauce without any issue. They look for you in the bar area when your food is ready. I really hope that if anyone is wanting to try something new, that they give this establishment their business.

    When you hear the term "Food Truck" you may conjure up images of generic dishes hastily put together in order to serve the most customers in the least amount of time. However, this could not be further from reality with this business. By the grace of God, we got the opportunity to visit this establishment on a Cincy Food Tour (The OTR Signature Tour). Another review for another today because THIS review is all about the amazing, flavorful, and authentically German cuisine offered up by this establishment. The owner/chef hails from the German town after which his business is named and we got the opportunity for him to sit down with his wife and business partner along with our group and hear a little bit of the history and inspiration behind each one of his German dishes. You could tell by the way he talks about his dishes along with how they tasted, that he definitely has a passion for serving up authentic, from-scratch meals. Included with the tour was a platter fit for a King (or Queen). It had about 8 or so samples of some of the items he serves. Every single thing we tried was amazing and I can't wait to go back to Queen City Radio to get me hands on some schnitzel or currywurst. And as for that mushroom gravy....absolutely wunderbär! What a perfect establishment to try if your looking for German cuisine in a city with so much German heritage. Give this place a visit you won't be disappointed!

    Pretzel with beer cheese

    I wish I took more pictures of the food, but take my word for it - this place is incredible. I am a huge fan of German food and have tried many places in the area, but the Lubecker has something special going on. They are set up as a food truck inside Queen City Radio bar. The schnitzel sandwich was huge and tasted fresh and delicious. The pretzel did not disappoint and I will be back to try everything else on the menu!

    Excellent German food! The Service is Superb! Schnitzel Sandwich, Currywurst, Northern German Potato Salad, Käsespätzle; Lecker....

    Currywurst was very tomato-forward and wurst itself was overpowered. No spatzle on game days.

    Another successful year at the Asian Food Fest Lots of vendors food and authenticity Only down…read morefall very long lines

    I attended the Asian Food Fest for the first time, and OMG -- what a feast for eyes, and the taste…read morebuds! The weather was beautiful, the variety of food trucks and tables was overwhelming but in a good way, the crowd was interesting and diverse, and the offerings were both traditional and creatively fusion-oriented. I started my event grazing with the Taro Cream Baby Puff from Tous Les Jours -- it was unusual, crisp on the outside, cold and creamy on the inside, with a delicious taro pudding inside! For my refreshment I was surprised and gratified to find a mango lassi at Tikka X-press that was perfect -- cooling and tart at the same time. I then got a tender spicy lamb pita from an Indian food truck, but I don't remember the name, which is unfortunate, because it was tender and perfectly spiced. But my favorite was an amazing Vietnamese dish called Curry Laska Loklok Skewers from Tea N Bowl. I thought I was getting a skewer of different fish cakes -- instead I got a flavorful spicy soup the likes of which I've never tasted before, over vermicelli, then topped with that skewer of fish cakes. It was absolutely amazing!! I took a picture of the menu, as I want to try more of their selections next year. And then I finished with a Filipino Halo Halo from Christine's, which was a perfect refreshing way to end this gastronomic feast!! And on top of the food was the celebration of the culture. I loved the diversity of the crowd, as it seemed to have a large percentage of Asian customers. So it was a way for them to celebrate and enjoy the diversity of their own Asian culture, and they allowed those of us who're non-Asian to come along for the fulfilling ride!!
