Travel Tip: Highway may backup for 30 to 60 minutes at entrance. 1572 Roadhouse Bar-B-Q has been on our radar for several years. 1572 Roadhouse Bar-B-Q is in the Renaissance Festival and shares a large parking lot. In addition to festival hours 1572 Roadhouse Bar-B-Q is open both Thursday and Friday evenings. Friday features a Prime Rib special, which should be offered Thursday a well. - At least according to web site -- NOT SO in practice.... The adjacent 3 Fools Pub offers a variety of libations. As a BBQ expect brisket, wings, ribs, pork chicken and beef, sides and salads. Turkey Breast, Chicken Wings, Ribs, Hot Link, Pulled Pork, Tri Tip, Mac and cheese, green and baked bean, and a selection of desserts. Ribs may be an excellent selection or NOT. Caveat: Be very careful in ordering - meals are large, and expect a to go bag. Caveat: Comfortable dining, and we view this as a plus - sweaters, jacket, and sweatshirts are welcome. Several reviews refer to dry meats, and we suggest an early arrival to prevent this malady. Neat experience...Would we return? All in all - in a few years.

It's associated with the yearly Renaissance Festival, but it stays open all year -- however they seem to keep the prices jacked up like the festival is going on. Ambiance pretty well sucked - reminded me of a campground shelter. Their speciiallty is bbq pork of various sorts, but the meat is tough and not very flavorful. They offer several BBQ sauces that I would rank bad to worse. The Restrooms were primitive outhouse style with no lighting -- significantly worse that portalets. Overall I would recommend staying far away from this place -- we definitely will never return.

The bun was nice and toasty, and there was a perfect amount of toppings! Plenty but not so messy that you can't hold it together...everything is layered perfectly. The whole thing from top to bottom is just right! Loved the wavy fries with the homemade ranch for dipping. There is a selection of dipping sauces, but that ranch is great! The chili cheese fries were good, but I personally think the chili could use just a little more salt and seasonings. Just my taste. Fresh hand shredded cheese would take them to the next level, but that's just me! The fries themselves were perfectly browned, and overall it was a good pile of fries! I'd love to see some fresh brewed sweet tea on the menu, but the fountain drinks were actually really good...I rarely drink pop, but I'll gladly drink another Dr Pepper if need be!

We steered the hungry group to Roosters and everyone was seated in less than a minute and our service was top notch! The server took care of the drink orders, and quickly took some painstakingly specific orders from the group. The orders came out of the kitchen quickly and best of all accurate! He was terrific and did not blink when he heard "Separate Checks!". You can never go wrong at Roosters!!

I substituted a side salad for the french fries. It arrived with a small mountain of cheese ... and my first reaction was worry that maybe it was hiding olde, brown lettuce. Nope. It was an excellent salad! The service was excellent. Good teamwork by the two waitresses inspired that hot food, was served hot and they kept my water glass full. Will I return? Absolutely, yes!

It's connected to the Roberts Centre and so is very convenient, especially during this hot and humid day. You don't even need to walk outdoors,, which is a huge relief because the heat outside was hitting us like the Human Torch's Nova blasts tbh. We were instantly seated at a quiet and comfy booth. The restaurant is very modern and spacious. Like Iron Man's tech and Stark Tower (okay, maybe not as tall). It has an automobile theme to it, so it's really fun! It honestly felt like we were just chilling right inside Tony Stark's personal garage with all his flashy cars. Lindsay was our server and was extremely friendly and fast and efficient. She checked on it us a couple of times and even had the check ready to go when our meals were served. She was basically zooming around the tables faster than Quicksilver. That's a good sign that the restaurant understands how busy conference goers can be. Of course, that was not to rush us at all, but it can always save time when you're going to be busy con conventions. She really had that Captain America level of tactical planning to keep things moving for us. I had the sirloin which was tender and moist. My partner had a fish and chips which were crispy and the fish was what's tender and flaky. Everything was cooked so perfectly it was almost like Scarlet Witch used some chaos magic in the kitchen to get the flavors exactly right. Maybe with a sprinkling of Doctor Strange magic too! Would definitely come back and may even head back later today!

Stopped here for a quick bite while staying in town to camp for the weekend…read more Immediately I was intrigued by the diversity of the menu; they had a wide range of Mediterranean cuisines and all looked delicious. The interior was quant and personal, with the walls covered with old celebrities, European landmarks, and historical events that give it a storied feel. The service was very inviting; we got there 40 min before close (I know I'd hate me too) and they were just as kind as could be. I ended up trying the chicken soup of the day and their crab stuffed cannelloni, which were both pretty good. My only note for not giving 5/5 was I didn't taste any crab in the dish I got, just lots of cheesy goodness (which was still delicious). Definitely a hidden gem that is worth the stop!

My son had the Mediterranean gyro. Lamb & beef piled high on a pita with tzatziki, hummus, red onion, lettuce, jalapeño and feta. He said is was one of the best gyros he's ever had.

Today we made a trip to Harvester Farm to Table, and this place truly lives up to its name. They…read moredon't just talk about local sourcing -- they actually do it. Locally raised meat, locally grown vegetables, and even their own house-made bread. You can taste the care in every bite. I ordered the Brunch Burger, and it was outstanding. Two grass-fed beef smash patties, grilled to perfection, topped with a farm-raised egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion, all stacked on a fresh, house-made brioche bun. Even as a smash burger, it was still incredibly juicy and flavorful. It came with fresh-cut fries that were crisp, hot, and the perfect side. What really impressed me, though, was their Pay It Forward menu. For $15, you can pay for a meal for someone in need. That's not just good food -- that's a business looking out for its community, and I respect that. If you're looking for a great smash burger from a place doing things the right way, Harvester Farm to Table is absolutely worth the drive to Blanchester, Ohio. This is farm-to-table done right.

My second visit ... a 4-star experience…read more I sat in the dining room this visit - restrained rural chic. Good job. It is all hard surfaces and the music was a tad too loud (reduced upon request) and the two young infants were busy being infants ... cranky/noisy. Jayla was our server. Prompt and appropriately engaging and attentive. Unlike the prior visit, the chili was sufficiently warm when served and the spice level has improved, kind'a, sort'a like Wendy's spice level, but more flavorful - that is intended as a compliment. My buddy ordered the Italian sandwich w/roasted vegetables. The sandwich struck me as small-ish. The portion of roasted vegetables was generous. He liked both. The only disappointment this visit ... the hamburger bun utterly disintegrated after the third bite. They are proud that everything is scratch-made in house ... but this bun was a fail. I finished my burger w/fork and knife. When cashing out, the manager apologized and admitted that they had not sufficiently proofed the dough. Um; okay, so why serve a known problem? Minus 1-star. First visit: Yelp says that 3-stars is Okay. This was a 2.5-star experience that I am forgiving and rounding up to 3-stars. I sat at the counter to better gauge the tempo. The server arrived promptly with a menu, and my water appeared swiftly. It was refilled once by staff, twice by me. Inattention? Training? I ordered the single patty burger and upgraded the fries to a crock of chili. The chili was what I would describe as Ohio-mild. Not bland, just mild seasoning. The ingredients included beans (yay!) and the texture was good. The bad news: It was not hot. Not even warm. Mostly lukewarm, but four spoonfuls were cold. Yes, cold. And nobody' ever inquired if I was happy with the chili - or the burger. The menu mentions "weekly soup special." Chili was the weekly special. I am guessing that a pot of chili is kept in the cooler and only warmed(? microwaved?) when ordered. In the pic you will The burger is excellent. It was properly seasoned (not over- salted).The sesame bun was expertly toasted. The sauce is tasty and the portion was just right. The greens were a spring mix - another miss. The burger deserves cool crisp lettuce. I was not asked how I wanted the burger cooked ... it is a hand-formed thin patty, cooked on a flat top. It arrived well done, but not dried out. I would have preferred medium-rare, but was never asked. That said, I would happily order the burger again, but there is so much more on the menu that I want to try. The fries. I upgraded from fries to the chili for $2. Yet fries were also served. I am not a fries guy, primarily because I don't care for salt or carbs. These were made in house and if you like salted fries, you will probably be VERY happy with them. The ambiance is rural chic, nicely done and not what I expected to find in Blanchester. The woman working the register asked me to pay before my burger/entree was served. When I deferred, explaining that I would pay after my burger was served and consumed, she asked the kitchen about my burger and the reply from the grill suggested that my order was forgotten. When it arrived, it included fries that it should not have been plated (paid $2 to upgrade to chili. Summary: Great space. Great recipes. Great ingredients. Too many people/process problems. Will I return? Yes. I want to see if the problems are an aberration or endemic.
