I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and they happen to have happy hour going on. The service was quite slow and there weren't too many people inside. The music was playing very loud and it was hard to have a conversation. The food was pretty good but nothing too special. I would reccomend coming for brunch as they have a lot of options to chose from. The staff was friendly but the service was slow.

They are back there cooking like we're at Grandma or Auntie's house and I LOVE IT! I hosted my birthday brunch here with a small group of my closest friends who traveled in from out of town and EVERYONE enjoyed their meal. The restaurant serves southern brunch classics like fish and grits, fried okra, chicken and waffles, french toast, you name it! Our table enjoyed these things plus an omelet and mimosas. DELICIOUS! Additionally, the staff was friendly and upbeat as were our neighboring guests who made the party even more complete!!! The energy was on 100!!! This is MY PLACE.

YE Gurl Eats: 6 N the Mornin' -- Where the Grits Ain't Got Grit Sometimes you root for a place before you even walk in. Black-owned, breakfast-centric, housed in a historic Cincinnati building with a name that nods to the culture--yes, I wanted to like this. But... there are layers. Let's start from the top. My beau and I snagged two lucky seats at the bar amidst the crowd (which honestly gave me hope). The location? Prime. The building? Beautiful bones. But the interior read sparse and last-minute, like someone poured their entire budget into rent and hoped a coat of paint and a few plastic flowers down the bannisters and behind the bar could stretch and read 'New Orleans'. HOW SWAY? I later found out the owner is from Atlanta, not New Orleans--which maybe explains the mismatch. This wasn't giving "Second Line" or even "low country cozy." It felt like a soft pop-up in a historic shell. From 12:05 to 1:02--that's how long it took for our food to hit the table. I have the photo receipts. While we waited, we had a front-row seat to some... chaos. The staff was visibly overwhelmed, huddling behind the bar, venting about customers in front of customers, and trying to dodge the tense energy of the floor manager. It wasn't just "busy" energy--it was disorganized, and unfortunately, unprofessional. When my food finally arrived--The Lafayette Omelette with cheese grits and a shrimp upcharge ($20)--I was starving, so yes, I ate all of it. But did I enjoy it? Not exactly. The cheese tasted cheap and flavorless, the dish was butter-heavy with no depth, and honestly, nothing on that plate said Nawlins. No seasoning, no soul. The real MVP? The Mimosa ($10). It was giving "at-home brunch with the girls"--not premium bubbles, but refreshing enough to take the edge off my growing hangry. And give me a buzz that equated to some empathy for the event. That's where the good news ends. And look--I get it. It's hard out here for new restaurants. Labor is tricky, training is ongoing, and creating consistency takes time. But when folks are waiting over an hour and your staff is clocked out (mentally, at least), you risk becoming a one-time experience instead of a local favorite. I'm not here to bash. I genuinely wish them growth, structure, and some solid consulting. Just not from me. Not today. Not for free.

I'll start with the good. The salmon croquettes and eggs were good, the cheese grits were very good! The server was very helpful and did a great job. It's a nice amount of space here, but where we were seated was a 2-top with not a lot of room and the waiting area isn't spacious, especially for a place as busy as them. It took a while for the food to come out and when it did, the only thing that was hot between my entree and my friend's entree was my croquettes. Everything else was lukewarm. Pancakes were kind of cold so I couldn't enjoy them but the entree was good. I would come back knowing that I have to set my expectations and show up before I'm hungry since the wait could be a while (even with a reservation).

GET HERE ASAP!!! The food was full of flavor and super filling (large portions)! I make pancakes using cinnamon at home so I was pleasantly surprised when our AMAZING server Mari asked if I wanted cinnamon and powdered sugar! The eggs were done just right and these potatoes were like nothing I've ever had before! The grits are made with cheese and thick and the catfish was full of flavor. I don't even like grits but tried a bite and loved them! I'd happily order my own! Also while we didn't indulge they serve Mimosa Towers!! Please be patient..this is not fast food. They prepare everything to order and fresh so give them some time. I promise it will be worth the wait!! As soon as we walked in we knew this space was not always a restaurant so to Google we went and discovered that it was originally a bank and as we looked around more we got a peek in the kitchen and saw that the vault door is still in tact back there!! They played great music the entire time and the vibe was everything! It was a bonus for us to learn that this was also a black owned business!

Portions are HUGE! Food is delicious & hearty. You will not leave hungry! All the servers were lovely & polite, but it took a while to get a table (even tho we had a reservation) and to get our food took over an hour. Wouldn't recommended for someone on a tighter schedule.

Soft, warm, that deep red color, and just enough crisp on the edges to let you know they didn't rush the batter.

I tried the red velvet waffles at 6 N The Morning, and let me tell you -- they look like they came to impress. Soft, warm, that deep red color, and just enough crisp on the edges to let you know they didn't rush the batter. The flavor hits right away. It's sweet but not overboard, and the texture is legit: that balance between fluffy inside and a little crunch on the outside. My only note? I wish the icing came on the side. The flavor is good, but having it separate would let you control the sweetness and keep the waffle from softening too fast. Give me the choice to dip, drizzle, or drown it depending on the moment. Overall? A solid breakfast move. With the icing on the side, it would've been perfect.

Unique and fun atmosphere. Great place for a cocktail or a delicious bowl of shrimp and grits. Nice happy hour and decent service. Not a bad stop if you are looking for southern home cooking.

Jessica (our server) was amazing, as was the food. Would definitely come here again. Great portions for the price, and the overall environment was a vibe. Perfect stop on our trip before leaving the City.

Finally made it to 6 n the mornin for brunch. When I walked in I was immediately impressed with the decor and historic features of the building. The servers were very nice and attentive however, the wait time for food was much no longer than I anticipated. There were 3 of us and it took an hour to receive our food and it was constantly being blamed on a large party that showed up. My suggestion is if you can't accommodate the others in the restaurant then you should probably not accept parties of 30 people. The food was mediocre. I tried the salmon croquettes which were dry, the bacon was so salty I didn't even finish eating it but the cheese eggs were perfect. I went on a Sunday and I loved the R&B vibes as well. I will give them another try and choose other items on the menu.

The best okra is no match to this. I couldn't even take a picture before these were gone. So good!

I'm going to say, it. Best breakfast place in Cincy. The food is excellent, the music to top tier, and the service was kind, thanks, Nina!

Good diner food and nice service. The shrimp and grits are solid. Casual vibe with high ceilings.

This is a BANGER! Red velvet chicken and waffles, your new best friend.

Me oh my, there's a great new breakfast spot in town. Just stopped in for breakfast with friends, and this place is a winner. New to the neighborhood in an old bank, 6 is serving up Southern-themed and named breakfast delights. Check out the photos of the menu and you'll see what I mean. I first ordered the shrimp and grits, but decided to send it back because while the shrimp were plentiful and the sauce was decadent, the texture of the grits seemed a little off (like a cross between polenta and mashed potatoes). I just couldn't get with it. However... My waitress took ONE look at my face after checking in on the table, realized I was unhappy, and whisked that plate away while promising to bring me something better. DID. SHE. EVER. Y'all ain't ready for that red velvet chicken and waffles. You're just not. When I tell you there's crack in the chicken...there's crack in the chicken. They're in the back seasoning everything, not just the chicken. I'm talkin' 'bout the FLOUR, the OIL, the skillet itself is damn seasoned. And these fluffy waffles?! Chile. With this cream cheese drizzle? Stop. Seriously, the crunch on this chicken is special, and I'm determined to come back just to see what else they can do with a damn chicken. Y'all make chicken feet? I'm down. The owners have taken a dated, gutted-out bank and transformed it into a bright, airy, welcoming restaurant with shotgun-style seating area and a truly lovely bar. There are great little design touches from the front door to the back of the house. Truly, the decor is very mindful, very demure. The staff is young, attractive, and clearly learning how to be/stay professional while at work. I hate going places where employees can't be bothered to stop having private conversations between themselves when there are customers. Not at 6! I walked through the front door and there were 3 servers standing at the hostess stand. As SOON as they saw me, they all stopped talking. Two just smiled and walked away and the third looked me in the eye and welcomed me. The young lady moved with a sense of urgency, one of those we-don't-make-customers-wait kind of urgency, and I was seated within 60 seconds. Great location, great servers, and even better menu options. Seriously, the only reason this place got a 4 and not a 5 is the grits. Every single plate that came from the kitchen LOOKED great, but me knowing what those grits do (or didn't do such as the case may be) was the deciding factor here. If, however, you're a chicken and (red velvet) waffle fiend, this is your new favorite spot. Just trust me.

I don't write reviews often, but Southern Grace absolutely deserves one…read more The food here is already well known for being amazing, so that part isn't a secret. Everything is seasoned perfectly, cooked right, and served hot. The fried fish was crispy and flavorful, the mac and cheese was rich and comforting, the greens tasted like they came straight out of someone's family kitchen, and the candied yams were sweet and done just right. It's the kind of plate that reminds you why Southern cooking is so special. But what really stood out to me wasn't just the food. It was the customer service. In most places, you either get incredible food with average service, or great service with food that's just okay. Southern Grace somehow manages to deliver both at a very high level. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with genuine kindness and respect. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and you can tell they actually care about the experience they're giving their customers. I have to make a special mention to one of the team members LaDon for his exceptional professionalism. That kind of consistency between food quality and customer service is rare. It makes the entire experience feel personal rather than transactional. If you're looking for authentic Southern food paired with top-tier hospitality, Southern Grace is absolutely worth the visit. Places like this remind you what real customer service is supposed to feel like.

Fried Chicken? Libby's gots the goods!…read more I've been here a few times now. A lover of fried chicken who is always on the hunt for the good stuff, Libby's does not disappoint. Located just over the river in Covington, KY, Libby's is only a few blocks walk from some of the happenings in Covington, like the Madison Theatre and Madison Live. There's a decent pay parking lot right at the intersection just across the street from Libby's. I went for the fried chicken and that's what I got.... both times. Libby's is nowhere near me so it was worth the 40 minute drive to get there the first time and an easy go-to for the second time around when I was going out for the night in Covington. The fried chicken is super crispy, full of flavor and moist and delicious. Libby's crushes it when it comes to the fried chicken. Here's the thing - I got sides both times. The chicken, being the feature of the meal, was so good that I don't even remember the sides that I got. I can say though that they were good. Libby's is popular. So, plan on a wait or, if available, to take a seat at the bar. Libby's isn't huge but they have space to take on a larger table of people to small high-tops for two or, again, for one or a few to grab a seat at the bar. The staff is friendly and helpful. We never wanted for anything. They were on top of it without bothering you. Would I go back? Cluck yeah, I'd go back. Remember when I said "Libby's gots the goods"? I wasn't kidding. Go find out for yourself and get you some and then come back and tell me how right I was.

This is our second visit. We went when it first opened. Our neighbors recommended it…read more So we had reservations and were seated on the patio enclosed and heated. Wobbly table, several groups were there. (I guess service guest service is a dying profession) ? I don't understand why a restaurant resorts to plastic cups from Pepsi or paper napkins? Prices don't reflect that. Sorry I digress Service was slow and she forgot our order, eh? No suggestions for menu options or anything. We chose fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs. Oil for fgtom tastes old. Not delicious eggs with ok. Service is sloppy slow. ( do I keep the fork I used for tomatoes for my entree? I'm at a wobbly table, service is slow and you had to ask for drinks silver ware. I had the 2 piece dark chicken. Good but really spicy and I like spice but this is extremely intense. The Charlie Brown entre was a lot of melted cheese and burnt bacon.our guests had the shrimp and the salmon. It was so loud, screaming across the table loud and there were all of 8 people besides us. My chicken would have been good if it weren't so overbred and over spicy. I had to ask for more beverages. I just don't understand how a restaurant that charges these prices and is mediocre. Paper napkins tv everywhere and not on LOUD, outdoor tables and no cloth. Service that connects with the patrons. This is not greyhound or tousey house. . WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS. Overpriced and cut the attitude with a machete. Many restaurants do exactly the same menu and well. Purple Poulet is one

We read about how good the fried chicken is, so we called to make reservations for a Saturday night…read more(you must call). The place is small and had a very weird vibe between fine dining and kitschy. White tablecloths, but then lots of purple and pictures of roosters everywhere (I realize the name, but hmmm). Our server was lovely but would disappear for too long between times when she should have been present. We ordered our drinks at 745pm, and I watched them sit at the end of the bar. Finally, at 805pm, I went to the bartender and said, "those are our drinks that have been sitting there for a while". Our server brought them over like we ordered them 5 minutes prior. But the lovely owner/manager came over and said the "drinks are on me" because we waited so long. We appreciated that! The fried chicken was good, but the breading was very salty. The green beans were almost inedible because they were so salty. The mashed potatoes were average. The biscuits were fantastic. The fried deviled eggs were okay. A regular deviled egg is better. The shrimp and grits had a lot going on. The shrimp was lightly battered and fried (?) and the flavor of the dish was bold. I think sauteed shrimp and a little less gravy would make it perfect.

Every visit feels like a treat, but lately they've taken things up a notch with a lineup of signature cocktails. I tried the espresso martini, and it was outstanding--smooth, balanced, and the perfect complement to the bold, smoky flavors coming out of the kitchen. As for the food, it's consistently excellent. The dry rub wings are my go-to: perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat and flavor, and even better when paired with their bama white sauce. If you're leaning sandwich, you can't go wrong with a pulled pork or pulled chicken sammy topped with their Carolina gold sauce--it's tangy, slightly sweet, and completely addictive. And the fries? Thick-cut, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside--exactly what great fries should be. Beyond the food and drinks, Lucius Q really shines as a place to gather. They have a fantastic event space that comfortably holds around 50 people--perfect for parties or private events. It's also one of the rare downtown spots with plenty of TVs, making it a great place to catch a game. Add in live music most Fridays and a great outdoor patio for those perfect Cincinnati weather days, and it's easy to see why this place is always buzzing. Lucius Q is one of those spots I simply can't walk past without slowing down and breathing it in. Whether you're a Pendleton regular or just passing through downtown Cincinnati, it's a must-visit that delivers every single time.
