Had a great 1st experience. I ordered for pick up and it was an easy transaction. I picked the food up from the bar and talked to a lady name Kim who was sweet and apologized for keeping me waiting while she worked with another table. I was quite satisfied with my order but also a little disappointed. I ordered the Jumbo Bone in Wings, Blackened Chicken Potato Skins and the Fiery Chicken Club. The reason I was disappointed was because on the menu it doesn't state that the Potato Skins comes with scallions and that the Chicken Club comes with onion and tomatoes but when I received my order it came with the scallions and onions. I don't eat them so I had to take the time to pick it off my food before I could eat. I believe that all items that come on the food should be stated on the menu but at least I know for next time to ask for my food to be made without the onions and scallions. read more

Fried chicken was decent. Prices are fair. If you are looking for a quick bite, good place to grab something. read more

Great. Love the staff and love the building. The atmosphere is family like. When you go on the weekend it's a great place for a family relaxing breakfast or lunch. read more

Decent neighborhood spot with good service and a solid menu of bar food. Sadly, I neglected to note our server's name. She was a professional and "told it like it is"; she told us what to order and not to order. She was right on the money and you better believe I tipped accordingly We sat inside. Looks like there is extensive outdoor seating for good weather. That could make for a fun evening. There's a full bar. We enjoyed cocktails, apps, and entrees. The pretzels with beer cheese dip were tasty; I could've eaten more of them. French onion soup was good. I highly recommend the fish and chips. If I'm back in #cincy, yes, I'd return for a casual meal. read more

We stopped in last night for a late dinner - 40 minutes before closing. We had a party of six - as we had been at the nearby nursing home/hospice. We hadn't been in a very long time. We found it to have gone down hill in food quality and it was always so overly salty that my even my husband, who will salt anything, found it too salty. But last night it was convenient - so we gave it a try. It wasn't busy, obviously - so service was great! The food was also pretty good! No complaints from anyone. My husband and I both ordered the fish & fries basket. It came with coleslaw also. We both liked the fish. It was perfectly fried. Not soggy or overcooked. The coleslaw was ok, nothing special. As were the fries - standard seasoned fries. The other orders at the table were the Blackened Caeser's Chicken Wrap, Mushroom Burger, Harvest Salad and Fish Tacos. Everything was hot and/or fresh. And nothing was over salted. Overall, great service and pretty good food. read more

The place was packed today, and I'm not sure that they were expecting it. We had a party of 13 and it certainly was a challenge for the staff. The food was good and we all had a good time. Orders did get confusing but in the end, we were all fed and on our way. read more

When got our bill this restaurant now has a policy of adding a 3.5% charge if you use a credit card. Sorry but this is a cost of doing business that the restaurant should incur just like electricity, gas, food supplies, liquor license permit costs. That $1.24 you try to get from me cost you $700 - $800 that I usually spend at your restaurant. Now you get nothing as I intend to never return again. There are plenty of other restaurants that want my business without trying to shake me down! read more

We had a large party but we only had breakfast items. Some of our party got food within half an hour others didn't get food for almost an hour and a half. Food was WAY overcooked. Goetta and biscuits were hard as a rock. Over easy eggs were over cooked and brown. Do not recommend. read more

Drinks were great tasting food was even better the fish n chips were great the side of Brussel sprouts were tender and tasty my husband enjoyed his pork tenderloin not the usual thin big tenderloin, but more so on the thicker medium size loin all and all great service great atmosphere! read more

We booked Century Inn December 2021 for a Wedding event from 11 PM - 1 AM on September 24, 2022. We paid the amount in full and we were told we booked plenty early and the date was available. We double checked the date. When we reached out a couple of days ago to add some food to the menu, we were told that they accidentally double booked us with a Roger Stone Golf Fundraising event they have every year starting at 6 PM. After asking what our wedding event even was (they weren't sure if it was our reception or not), we were told that they could do both events, and that they could flip the tent quick enough to accommodate both groups as our event started at 11 PM and their event starts at 6PM. They just wanted to check with the fundraising group first. They said we could use their deck while we waited for the room flip. Today, they are telling us that they are cancelling our event because they will not kick the other group out early and their hands are tied. We now have less than four weeks to find a replacement venue after all invitations have been sent out and other vendors have been booked. When I asked why we weren't notified sooner, she responded "You're not listening to me, Amanda booked it. [Not me]" When I asked when Amanda left, she told me she didn't know. We were offered a refund and an "apology" stating that the employee who booked us wasn't working there anymore, so it's not their fault-- or evidentially, their problem. They were not willing to compromise, and had no further interest in helping us. I asked if we could share the tent or if we could use the deck that had been offered the day before. No. While I understand that the golf fundraiser is an important event for those families and individuals participating, this was an important event for us as well. We booked 8-9 months in advanced in person, paid the total amount owed in full, and followed up. The apology we got was insincere and when we tried to find a compromise that worked for everyone, they shut us down. I am posting this to caution any other group wanting to book an event with them. Fun little update*** Dee was the employee from Century Inn who we have been speaking to the past few days. She was the one who told us it was Amanda, an employee who no longer works with them who booked us and it was her fault. Dug out the receipt and guess who's name checked us out for our deposit and full payment back in December 2021. read more

Party of 4 arrived at 5pm on a Saturday night. Sat ourselves. No utensils given. Appetizer came out with no plates; waited 20min before we saw a Server to ask for plates. I can only speak for my meal; fried chicken was WELL done - almost too hard to eat. Coleslaw was .... I have no word except BAD - I don't want the seasoning is but it could not even be swallowed. There is zero flow to restaurant. You walk halfway through restaurant before a Hostess stand read more

Depends on what you get. Fried chicken and sides are fantastic. Burger not so good. Stick with the fried Chicken and you won't be dead! I had mine with the Brussels sprouts (made with maple and bacon yummy! And mashed potatoes and gravy (fresh with chunks of potato so you know it's real!) it takes a while because the chicken is cooked to order, but so worth waiting for! My husband and I ordered 2 dinners and took 3 pieces home, so you won't leave hungry. In fact, I am ready to go back. read more

If you are looking for a place to eat that isn't terribly special, but won't let you down in the way of options, space, and some decent flavor, then Century Inn would be a solid choice. I enjoy the cheese pizza the most. I know that sounds unexciting, but I swear it's delish. They pile the cheese on! read more

I've been going the the Century Inn since the early 70s. It is our family's favorite place to get together for a meal. Most of us order the fried chicken special, but there are a lot of other things that are equally as good. Great burgers! Great Onion Soup. Great Wings. read more

So tonight we decided to venture out to a restaurant ( you know, with the virus and all) and sadly sat in the "Tree House". The bar crowd was pretty happy and that's cool. We ordered and had a drink, and the food came, fresh and hot. So far, so good. Some dude named "Steve" had to share his extremely loud, opinionated and divisive diatribe. IDK who it was directed to and why i had to hear it. It kinda "F'd" up the meal, to use one of our guys phrases. Does everyone think it's OK to act the bully on their "Home turf" and shed their judgemental BS so all Must hear? Where's management? Totally inappropriate. read more

Old and needs repair. In the pavilion, one of the fans is broken and quite dusty. A blind is broken and will flap around in the wind and hit you. Concerns were brought up, acknowledged, and nothing done. The food itself took way too long to come out, about 45 minutes for standard breakfast food. And when it did come out, it was mediocre at best. Cannot recommend this place, at least in the pavilion or for breakfast. read more

I was seriously craving potato skins, which I hadn't had in a long time. I found them at Century Inn and they deliver via Door Dash. Their menu is billed as American comfort food, with wings, tacos, burgers, meatloaf and pot roast. The restaurant is housed inside a historical inn and carriage stop. Besides the potato skins, I ordered the Mushroom Burger with cheddar cheese. The skins were pretty flavorful and standard, with tons of chives. The burger itself was not very flavorful, as if it hadn't been seasoned at all. After I added seasoned salt and garlic powder it was OK to eat. I would maybe still order other options from there if I wanted potato skins again. read more

Rustic, aged like great wine and historic like Lincoln slept here, burgers rock like Van Halen and the Chicken isn't of the Colonel's rank but rather a bit more like a four star general's. Paul Lake is one of the city's best musicians and you get to hear him and his band out back on occasion and if that ain't enough 20 beers on tap including Guinness poured right. If you want a date night in a place that will feel cozy and special this is a place worth crossing town for. read more

Generous amount of seating, so we didn't feel rushed. Menu has a wide variety from sandwiches to prime rib. We had great friendly service and loved the BLT and Reuben sandwiches that we ordered. Make sure you get the homemade chips with them! We are from out of state, but will likely be eating there again before we head home. read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant but I had heard positive things about it. I was seated very quickly by the staff. My server came and took my drink order. He also gave me time to look over the menu and made suggestions regarding the appetizers. I ordered for an appetizer, the soft pretzels. I order the chicken meal with mashed potatoes and corn for dine in as well as a chicken sandwich to go. I went when it was not too crowded but people are starting to come in as I was sitting. It got crowded really fast as the dinner rush approached. My waiter still was very attentive despite the fact that the room was filling up. I got my appetizer, the pretzels, which was really quickly. They were really good and soft and it came with a cheese sauce. Shortly after that my chicken arrived. It was four pieces along with mashed potatoes with gravy and corn. One thing about me is that I like seasoning on chicken. This chicken was seasoned really well so I was glad. I enjoyed the meal overall as well as the atmosphere. Being that I was there by myself, I was seated in the area where I was able to people watch. There appeared to be a lot of large groups and families eating there at the time. I will definitely return for personal and professional meals. The service was good and food tasty. read more

A Sunday during football season & you have one bartender covering the whole place?! WTH! Food was good but wrong each time we ordered!! The only thing that came out right was our drinks. To top it off they let people smoke in a food eating area & did not say anything to these people when asked. Really!?! If I come back I will ask for a non smoking area! To top it off while trying to watch the football game, a band starts playing!?! Who does that?? Plus they weren't good at all! I seriously doubt I'll come back here unless forced by family & even then I'll wear a face mask! read more

Had breakfast at Century Inn and was totally disappointed. We had a large party, which we reserved a room for. The wait staff was overwhelmed and had a hard time with drinks and service. It took a long time to get our food, which was cold when we got it( in shifts that extended from half an hour to 90 minutes). The goetta was burnt and the biscuits were overcooked and hard as a rock. Perhaps the kitchen staff as also overwhelmed. Don't thinks we will go back again for breakfast. read more

Great fried chicken and ribs and the staff is always friendly and helpful we love this little local gem .

This used to be a decent place to get a meal, but no longer. They can't decide if they want it to be a friendly neighborhood bar, a charming historical restaurant/inn or a family diner, so they just do a lot of things poorly. We ordered three sandwiches well into the evening and I think the cook was finished for the night. One order of fries appeared to be split three ways. A bacon cheeseburger was delivered without bacon, etc. It sad when a former favorite just continues to get worse! read more

I love Glendale and like the idea of having a cozy place nearby that offers music. I think Century Inn could be my go to place since it's a block from home. However, I had two not-so-great recent experiences there. One was when they were out of the chilled chicken for the caesar wrap and served my wrap with only romaine, dressing, parmesan, and scraps of tips of hard, dry, overcooked chicken. I could get over that. I get it. Things happen. Recently, on 1/1/2023, I tipped in cash, which I do every time, and like always write "Cash" as the tip on my signed receipt. (The reason I write "Cash tip" on the tip line every time is because I have been burned by servers at restaurants over the years who alter a tip by putting a one in front of a seven or add a one in front of an eight...) On 1/1/2023, even though I wrote "cash" as the tip, the Century Inn server made a poor decision by helping herself to my credit card total. I noticed a few days later online. She was tipped in cash by me and she also added a tip to my credit card. I called the restaurant and spoke with Shannon who pulled my receipt, saw that it says "Cash" tip and said she would have Dee correct it. Shannon took my credit card number, expiration date, and 3 digit code over the phone. However, it never got credited. Shannon was busy, had to pull the records, she asked to call me back a few times, was cleaning, etc. Finally, she claimed again, "Dee will call you." I never heard from Dee. So, I went in person at 10:45am today. Shannon tried to blow me off saying we don't open until 11am. Nope, I said, I've had it. The server stole from me. I wanted it resolved. My time is valuable too and I'm busy as well, I said. In order to get it resolved after 5-6 follow up calls, I had to go in person. It bothered me to see this lack of care or concern. I still have not received a call or apology from Dee on behalf of Century Inn. read more

This place has an interesting history. It was nice to have the ability to sit in more of a private area. Ordered country fried steak with mashed potatoes and Roasted red pepper soup. The soup was well prepared and came out quickly while still hot. The country fried steak and potatoes tasted average but unfortunately where a bit on the barely warm side. I really did enjoy the server Beverly and would go back. read more

Sadly - A COVID Outbreak Waiting To Happen! Not ONE waiter or staff were wearing masks or taking any precautions for the safety of their customers!!! Absolutely no social distancing being observed! Every seat at their bar was full - people on top of each other with no care about the danger this creates. No distancing between tables. The only excuse provided is that it was their outside area and it's hot. This DOES NOT mean that you don't social distance and keep your parties 6 feet apart. And...their bar is in an enclosure - an open window DOES NOT equate to being outside. As for the food - it does not deserve a review until they comply with basic safety standards. STAY AWAY! read more

I recently visited Century Inn with a large group of family. We called ahead to get a reservation for our group of 10. Upon arrival, we were brought to our table that was already set up. A staff member brought us bowls of popcorn. When we were ready to order it took quite awhile for the waitress come. She was working both the bar as well as a few tables, so she had a lot on her hands. I ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich with onion rings. The sandwich was just ok, neither good or bad. If I do to return, I won't dine inside the restaurant but would be willing to check out their awesome looking outdoor area for drinks and appetizers. read more

I almost never rate establishments low and hate to give negative ratings. AND worse I met the owner who turns out to be a nice guy. I hope he reads this and consider options to correct. There were many problems and to be balanced - it may be an off night or something was going on. But here is what happened tonight: First was the seating. We called to get reservation for 20 people. upon arrival the manager had setup a table in the middle of a gravel lot and unacceptable to us. There were many other tables and we asked kindly for an alternative option. The manager simply said no, walked away, and would not discuss. This turned out to be a bad place to sit because the wind was cold, stirred up dust, and blew leaves all over us. The food was significantly delayed. In our group a third got their meals after 30 minutes, the other third got their meals within an hour and some even got their meal over an hour after ordering. At one point one of our party wanted to order something else and made decision what to order based on what could be served under an hour - I think the choose a cold dish. Clearly they were rushed and there were problems which lead to cold food, over cooked food, greasy food, and it was clear the food was sloped onto plates and served. There were many servers and for the most part that went well - although there was no apology for everything that happened. My suggestion - the manager has no business in a service industry. I grew up in this business and this was terrible by any standard. We would have refunded patrons and apologized for this. Not related to the negative events - this place is old and run down. It is a bit dirty and there is limited parking. Overflow includes a tent and setting up tables in a gravel lot. This may have been a one time event but if you go there I'd really consider reading latest reviews and maybe calling ahead to get idea of how busy they are and if there are any issues that would prevent them from delivering good service and good food. read more
