Great service by Mallory. Group of 2 people. We had the deviled eggs, 2 beers, one Bloody Mary, 2 specialty burgers, onion rings and fries. Onion rings oozed of grease, filet burger ordered medium, came out almost well done. $95 for the above. Place feels a little like it's past its Diner Drive Ins and Dives hey day. Pricey for paper plates and an overcooked burger. Possibly a 1 and done. read more

Yum! Sometimes you just want a good burger! This dive does them right. It's fun inside and the staff is really kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had games for the kids to play.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A real kids menu would be nice. The burgers are the juiciest! And they have all the toppings to choose from. They do get pretty pricey though. The fries and dips are yummy. If it was a little more affordable we would come more often. read more

I am not the biggest fan of a thick burger so normally I would not come here. I came with a group of friends and was still disappointed. The only thing that would make me come back are the martinis and onion rings. Our burger came out and there was plastic still on the lettuce...they did apologize. They gave us an appetizer for free while they remade the burger. The appetizer was ok, but if I had paid for it, it wouldn't have been worth it. The burger itself felt plain and nothing special. They have many different sauces to chose from but was not expecting them to be that much for a small cup. Don't think I would return unfortunately. read more

Today's lunch was provided by The Turf Club. One of the main reasons I like this spot is because it's old school. Let's get out the good Ol' order pad and actually take someone's order vs point and click on a device. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building itself hasn't changed, still small, neon signs still hanging and burgers still slinging off the grill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered two burgers. I personally can only eat half because they are huge. Full of flavor, you can taste them and it's a perfect balance of beef to seasoning. I ordered mine medium well and it was cooked to perfection. The toppings were fresh and crunchy. For the second burger it was cooked well done. It too was cooked perfectly but the added bacon could have been a bit crispier. You could tell it was pre-cooked and refired....it just needed a few more minutes on the grill. Fries and onion rings are delicious and crispy. Prices were a little steep, the bill was almost $50 but, thanks to the Cincy Saver app, it knocked it down to under $20. Worth the stop for this Cincinnati Iconic restaurant. read more

The Turf Club is an absolute standout, and from the moment you walk in the staff makes you feel right at home. The food alone is worth the trip. I had the bacon grilled cheese with tomato soup and fries alongside the grilled corn, and every single bite delivered. The kind of comfort food that's executed with real care and intention. The drink menu is equally impressive with a rotating selection of monthly specialty martinis that give you a reason to keep coming back and try something new, on top of an already stellar lineup of cocktails. Everything is crafted well and goes down smooth. Great food, great drinks, and a staff that genuinely seems to love what they do. The Turf Club is the full package and deserves a spot at the top of your list.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Back for my usual fave!!! The Filet Mignon Burger, had a first timer with me & he enjoyed the same burger as well!! Why this place does not have a 5 star is beyond me!!! My guess is people DO NOT stick to the simplicity of the burger. If you try to add too much sh** to it your not going to like it !!! So I have some pointers: 1) Do NOT add sh** to it !! Leave burger the way it is! 2) Get your Burger Medium Rare 3) Get the Fries cheap a** they are worth it read more

Small place near the downtown area and the Ohio River. Super friendly and helpful staff made the meal memorable as they chatted us up and offered suggestions for the menu and even where to park downtown by the Taft Theater. The room had many old beer signs from various periods that gave the place a cool Neon glow. The food is delicious comfort food but spun up with interesting combinations. I had the Mushroom Goat burger - a half pound burger with portobello mushrooms and goat cheese and red pepper sauce. The burger was huge and cooked perfectly to medium rare. The jalapeño cheese app was also great Good beer and wine list. Full bar. Definitely on my list of places to revisit when in Cincinnati. read more

My husband and I decided to go to The Turf Club for lunch since we hadn't been there for months. The service was amazing. The burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly. The only issue were the tempura onion rings. They tasted very good, but they were very oily. I had the 8.5 ounce burger with Swiss and the burgundy mushroom sauce. My husband had the 8.5 ounce burger with Swiss and all the veggies with a side of the FogHorn LegHorn sauce.

We had been here before several years ago, and remembered it being good. The name has changed( they dropped Terry), and the quality of the food has dropped too. Worth noting though, the prices are up! Food was below average. The onion rings were dripping in grease. The burgers fell apart when you took a bite. The waitress was excellent, but we won't be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it fell short of expectations. First off, our server had attitude and acted like she did not want to be there. Here, the servers also ask for each person's name so that they apparently know who to give each order to. We were the only party in there except for two people seated at the bar. There were only three of us. You can't remember who ordered what? They also serve their food on paper plates. I understand if it's a place offering affordable options they would do that. However, this is place is pretty overpriced. If I am spending over $20 on a burger, my food should not be on a flimsy paper plate that can barely hold my food with the grease soaking through. The biggest gripe I have is with the cook. The kitchen is open to the side, so customers can see them making your food. We could see the cook was making our food, but while he was cooking he would go off to the side to check his phone WITHOUT any gloves! That is extremely unsanitary and definitely a health code violation. This was not just a one time thing. It was constant. He would put ingredient on and then walk over and check his phone, then come back and touch the next item with it washing his hands or putting on gloves. Disgusting! When the food came out, it was underwhelming. The egg and chorizo sandwich was burnt and charred. It tasted like ash. The burger was overcooked and dry. The sauce tasted old and had no flavor. This place is overpriced for mediocre food with unsanitary conditions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason I didn't give it one star is because the decor is decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other than that, the food and service are awful and unclean. Please beware of coming to this place! read more

This was my first time at The Turf Club after the change in ownership, and it lives up to the memory for the most part. The main change on this visit was no wait! Whereas I recall eating peanuts and waiting outside for quite a while years ago when this was Terry's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, I think there may be one or two fewer tables because things seem a bit less crowded, but nothing to complain about.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food wise, I'm not sure anything has changed! The burger is as incredible as ever, and if you make your topping selections carefully, you'll have a great experience. My recommendation: Go easy on the sauces or get them on the side, and focus on a great topping+cheese combo. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Turf Club may have changed owners and the decor outside is different but I still stand by my earlier review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The new owner is always there and is a very nice guy.

It's been a couple years since I've been here and I was pleasantly surprised with this place. In the past, it had been a bit hard to get into because of large crowds and the service was "just ok". On this visit, they had a decent amount of customers, but not overly crowded. As for the service, it was fantastic. The food.... absolutely amazing. The burgers are so well made and the toppings are incredible. Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. If you're never been here before, this place is a " MUST TRY". If you're like me and haven't been here in a while, I highly recommend giving them another try. You'll be happy you came back! read more

This was the worst place I've been to in my entire life. The service was awful. The people weren't friendly. I got barked at to tell the waitress everything I wanted on my burger (when the menu said it automatically comes with tomato, lettuce, mayo, etc. unless otherwise stated). It ended up being $100 for two 8oz burgers (one with fries, one with mac n cheese), kids chicken fingers (with fries), and kids mac n cheese. In what world is that even possible?! The burgers were thick, but they weren't cooked properly and were dry. The mac and cheese was the worst I've ever had. All mushy breading, a burned chunk of cheese (from being what looked like the last scoop in the pan), and two soggy noodles. (It was $5 for the side of mac, btw.) My daughter's chicken fingers had absolutely no flavor. None. I didn't know messing up chicken fingers was even possible! Everything was so bad and laughable, it wasn't even worth complaining about. We just cut our losses and left hungry. (So, I guess technically, we're out over $100 because the kids are currently having a second lunch.) read more

On my trip to Cincinnati, The Turf Club was the first food stop. My buddy and I knew exactly what we wanted. Natasha was our server and she was attentive and had our orders in promptly. The chorizo avocado appetizer is something you wouldn't think goes together, but it does so well!! The spice from the chorizo is calmed and cooled with the avocado. As some say, opposites attract? I recommend this to everyone! The burgers are cooked Medium. The juice really drips after each bite. Plenty of good burger spots in Cincinnati, this is my favorite. Such a fun little spot. The neon lights all around. The Cincinnati decor. The local beers all around. Everyone is having themselves a great time. A fun energy radiates from TTC. A one hundred percent enjoyment. I will be back!! read more

SO freaking good! My husband and I split a burger and the cod tacorita and both were completely delicious. I had two different martinis (dirty and pickle) and the bartender was on point because they were both amazing. Our boys split a burger and some sides- and they loved finding the "hidden mickeys" while we waited. The staff was so cute with them helping them find them all! We were visiting from out of town and would definitely come back next time we are in Cincy! read more

The food was not good at all for what ordered and paid for in quality. 1. The onion rings were probably the worst I have ever ate. The batter was nothing but grease and terrible flavored like grease never changed. The burgers were medium ordered and well that was hit or miss in how they were cooked. They were 1/2 cooked meatballs on a bun. The couple with us paid 28.95 for an overcooked meatball on a greasy bun and greasy onion rings. I will next eat at this restaurant again and I would never refer it to anyone . Besides all this the girl knocks a whole beer on my husband , his shorts are wet from the beer, manager never even came over to check on anything. They didn't even give him a free beer. It is not able the food quality it's for manager making money and shows know other cares about the service,food quality . Again the worst experience I have had at a hamburger restaurant. I would rather have ate at Wendy's burger place. Never returning . read more

The Turf Club - Burger & corn on cob - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Overall, very great meal! If you are looking for a big, juicy burger, this is the spot hands down! We tried the Fieri burger, the one Guy Fieri ordered when he visited and it was excellent! The wine sauce was definitely the best part. We also got a standard cheeseburger with all the fixings and it was great! We realized sides were not included in the original price, so we did order a side of fries, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob. The sides were honestly nothing to die for, the mac and cheese came on a lettuce bowl which dripped water from the lettuce into the mac and cheese making it a bit unappealing. My only other complaint was the pretty long wait for our food. By the time our food came, everyone around has had eaten, paid and left. I think they may have only had one cook in the back. But the very yummy burgers made up for it:) read more

This restaurant has been on my wish list for years (you can check). My husband and I met up with some friends who live nearby and finally got to give it a shot! Be warned there is almost always a wait since it's a very small location but you can order from the bar and enjoy your drinks outside while you wait. The interior is so fun-Lots of neon and old school diner vibes. We don't eat beef and pork and still found a lot of options on this menu. My husband ordered the salmon burger with a side of onion rings and mac and cheese. I opted for the fried halloumi cheese and the crab and langosteen cake. Everything we had was great, but the onion rings were my favorite and the halloumi cheese a close second. Our servers were friendly, our drinks were good, and a great time was had by all. read more

I would like to update my review. The last time I dined was when it was under the name Terry's Turf Club. Now that we live in the area, thought we check out under new management. Everything the same except less decor outdoors. But the menu is much better! Mass Specialty burger selections, more cheeses and specialty sauces to choose from, appetizers, salads, not feeling a burger, they have seafood (ahi tuna, salmon, cod) pork, chicken and vegetarian (portobello mushroom). Their meals comes with chips, however they serve a la carte sides. Their drink menu has a lot to choose from! Cocktails, beer on tap/cans, and wine. Tiny joint but has so much to offer. They get super busy so there maybe a wait but not too long. We only had to wait less than 10 minutes. Dined in on a Friday night. Love the nostalgic feel! So much neon lighting and a laid back vibe. Our server Janice (sorry if I misspelled your name) was so attentive and down to earth. She took the time to go over the whole menu. I started off with a Cabernet Sauvignon wine and my Mr. a Hudy Delight. For dinner I got an Angus burger (8 oz cooked medium well) chose specialty cheese-manchego, with lettuce, tomatoe, red onions,mayo and pickles. With my burger I wanted to add fries with a side of their homemade bacon ranch. My Mr ordered an Angus Burger with Swiss/American cheese (cooked medium), lettuce, tomatoes, sautéed onions, pickles and mayo. He wanted a side of their Mac and cheese. We got our meals in 15 minutes. Oh wow! The burger was packed with flavor and super juicy! The buns I believe is from Sixteen Bricks. Very fresh! The fries was hot/not greasy. I'm glad I got the bacon ranch dressing. Because it paired well with the fries! My Mr let me try the Mac and cheese! It melted in my mouth! So good! Me and my Mr. tore up the burger. Nothing was left on our plate. Overall, an awesome experience. I was stuffed, but in a good way! Definitely can see us as regulars here! read more
