Ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone, all the good stuff, plus lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, onions, and that perfect Italian dressing that ties it all together. Fresh, flavorful, and messy in the best way. And the potato salad? Big chunks of potatoes, seasoned just right with herbs and spices, mixed in a rich, creamy dressing. So good! Also... the grazing boxes looked amazing. They're like a personal charcuterie board, but honestly plenty to share if you want. So many fun things to munch on. Definitely going back to try one of those next.

Went back of 4/17 and met the man behind my delicious creation. Tavis Rockwell! Wonderful, interactive man with a touch of sass to go with the class behind his food creations. Tavis offered us tastes of various creations and nothing disappointed. The Italian Beef is insanely good. I was afraid of the possible heat due to the peppers, but it was just enough to many you want and be able to eat more. Greens? I was leery when I was told there is vinegar in them. SOLD!! They were fantastic. Tavis makes a homemade goetta that would make my German ancestors proud. We then learned that Saturday is breakfast all day. He had us at biscuits and gravy. (You can get lunch and dinner items as well, but WHY?). We came back the next morning and split an order that was just enough for two. When you go, make sure to tell Tavis you will pay for the water, but you hear the food is free!!

I bought a CincySaver for Noble Chicken because it's in close proximity to my home-…read more People have been sleeping on this chicken joint- I ordered the BBP meal - Fried chicken, bacon jam, bourbon mayo, pimento cheese, lettuce, tomato- I ordered carry-out to take home- as you can see these photos are taken in the car- It never made it home- That bacon jam needs to be sold individually in your store- I would be your best customer- They were a bit light on the pimento abut it was still an amazing sandwich- temperature was perfect- Only ding was you were way too skimpy on fries- my waistline thanks you- but they were so good I could have used some more -

As a person who is always on the search for the best fried chicken sandwich, I came across Noble…read moreChicken on a Thursday afternoon. I went with the 'The Noble' which is the basic fried chicken sandwich with pickles / lettuce / tomato. I asked for the Noble sauce on the side. Went with french fries. Was told the deep fried chicken is cooked to order so expect a 8 to 10 minute wait... which I was more that happy to do for I want my sandwich piping hot right out of the fryer. While waiting, I had time to read the menu board more in-depth. I asked the staff what ghost sticks are as well as hatch queso mac & cheese. I think these things should have basic descriptions printed on the menu so you know exactly what it is w/o having to ask. Also, it seems somebody owner-wise decided to have some odd / high flair sides. Personally- I would make a mac n cheese both ways ... one foofoo style and one basic. Some people do not care for your creative juices flowing to create some unique special thing. Anyways... Ten minutes went by & my order was ready. It came in a very high end bag with handles & the restaurant's name printed on it. In that bag was another small paper bag that held high end plastic ware / Heines catsup / good quality napkins & the side cup of Noble sauce. I remembered that I like a buffalo style sandwich so I asked for a side of that & the counter lady gladly got it for me. Below this bag was high quality container that held my chicken sandwich & fries. I point all this out because I knew that there was a lot of thought & money put into these things. Sure- a restaurant can go cheap by simply wrapping the sandwich up in wax paper and calling it a day but this place did not do that. Once that I made it out to my car, I found the container that held my sandwich & fries. Listen... everything was perfect! The bun was of high quality brioche style / nice thick pickle slices / fresh hot out of the fryer french fries but the best was the nice sized golden brown deep fried chicken breast sitting on the bun. I decided to pour both the Noble & buffalo sauces onto my sandwich. Great choice. Let me just say this... it turned out to be one of my top 3 fried chicken sandwiches ever.. and I have eaten quite a few! As long as this place sticks to the plan of making each sandwich fresh... they'll be fine. I will go back for sure so don't let me down!!!

Chicago flavor is in Cincinnati!…read more I stopped by Knuckles Deli & went straight for the sandwich they're known for -- the Italian Beef. Knuckles Deli opened in March 2026 by owners & friends Britton de la Chapelle, Cesar Salazar & David Hall, and they're bringing their love of Chicago-style food to Cincinnati! After years of working in the restaurant industry for other companies, they wanted to have a place to call their own. Let's get into the bites! I ordered the Italian Beef Hot & Dry, topped with Marconi Giardiniera + Cheese on a Turano roll straight from Chicago, with their Au Jus on the side to dip it in. Both the Italian Beef & Au Jus are made from scratch using Cesar Salazar's old family recipe, and you can taste the love & tradition in every bite! That savory, juicy beef + the kick from the giardiniera + that Au Jus dip? CHEF'S KISS. Of course, I had to round out the Chicago experience with the Potato Salad & Chicago Italian Beef Kettle Chips, which were yummy as well! My favorite bites? Definitely the Italian Beef & Au Jus!

I'm really excited to see this place move in and from the line, I can tell that I'm not alone. The…read moresandwiches are great - the Italian beef was exactly what I was hoping for. It did take a long time to get my order because of how many people were waiting, but that's not a bad sign - the demand was real. The seating situation is kind of strange. There are only a few seats at the bar and if those are filled, you have to take your food to go. There is a back section that is half makeshift storage and half a grocery store. I think this is a missed opportunity and they could rearrange this and add some tables back there.

Original stained glass still in place and some photos of the building when still used as a house of worship. And yet, dining out has to be about good food. And Pig Candy delivers! I had the pulled pork and turkey. Both were perfectly moist and succulent (the pork had just enough bark in each bite). I ordered the red and gold sauces, but when my food came to me, the young man said he also brought a sample of the white sauce since it's his favorite for the turkey. He is most def an honest young man! It was a great combo, with the red and gold both sturdy and suitable for the pork. Many folks have many opinions about mac and cheese, but this was how I like it. The green beans had some sausage added for a great flavor, though slightly under salted for my tastes--and easily remedied with a quick shake. I'm not one in need of GF options, though I noticed them on the menu as well as well-marked V options. The pumpkin bar was a great finish to the meal.

Felt like I was at a backyard get together with the family. Service was pretty quick. The only thing I didn't like was how you have to pay upfront and of course they ask you to tip. Why would you tip if you don't know what the food and service is like (for those who are new to this place). Both locations are the same. Matter of fact I think all BBQ places here in Cincinatti are like that. It's still a great place to eat! Come check it out.

They were serving parties of different sizes indoors and out on a patio area. I had an impossible burger and fries which were both really good. They had good iced tea, too. The highlight of the whole experience for me, though, was my server Lanay. She was delightful. She was engaging, welcoming, and personable throughout. She was patient and easygoing, but she also had a lot of feedback and advice on the menu options. She checked on me regularly throughout my leisurely meal without ever making me feel rushed. I thoroughly enjoyed our interactions throughout the evening. She was a really excellent server and I hope the restaurant knows it. When I'm in that area again, this will make my list of options.

I couldn't wait to write this review fast enough. I absolutely love this place -- it's officially…read moremy new Cincinnati go-to spot. I don't get to Cincy very often, but I was in town for work and this happened to be the closest bar/restaurant near us downtown that looked decent. Safe to say I got very lucky. The first time I went, I ordered the chili as a starter and a chicken tender platter. And when I tell you I was so happy with both -- I mean it. I love a good chili. I grew up eating it with my grandma, and this one tasted like something she would have made. The cheese and sour cream were perfect. I'm not a huge onion guy, but even those worked well with it. Now here's the catch... it was so good that I literally went back and ordered the exact same thing again. And somehow it was even better the second time. They really outdid themselves on both dishes. One thing I noticed the second time around: I asked for three sauces right away, and they brought them out on a plate with a built-in sauce area. It was actually really convenient -- perfect if you're sharing with people. Now let's talk about the tenders. I'll start by saying I know fried chicken pretty well. Pound for pound, these might honestly be the best chicken tenders in America. The easiest comparison I can give is this: imagine if Cane's and Zaxby's had a kid and named him perfection. That's what these are. Sometimes Cane's can be a little light on seasoning, and sometimes Zaxby's goes a little heavy. These are perfectly in the middle with a great crunch and just the right amount of seasoning. Another thing I really liked about this place is the versatility of it. It feels like the kind of spot where you could do anything -- happy hour with friends, a birthday dinner, a corporate dinner, or even a family night out. I love that kind of diversity in a restaurant. Just 10/10 ambiance. And the staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Honestly, writing this review is making me want to book a flight back to Cincinnati just to eat there again. Wow.
