We checked out Delwood on a Friday night for dinner and called ahead to get on the wait list for our party of 5. Caitlin saved a table for us and we were greeted promptly when we arrived. It was super busy and nearly every table was full and people were waiting outside. Service was friendly and our drink orders were taken within a few minutes. We ordered 3 appetizers: yuca fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, guacamole and chips. My fave of the 3 was probably the guacamole: chunky and flavorful. I also liked the green sauces that came with the Brussels and yuca fries. The yuca fries were large, like steak fries. They come on a smallish plate and probably best for 2-3 people to share. Same for the Brussels sprouts. The guac and chips were on a large plate and there was a generous amount of guac (larger portion than the other sauces). Plenty of chips to share among our table. There were 2 fish fry orders from our table and no complaints. Little Mister thought it was "great" and he ate the entire thing except for the coleslaw, of which he is not a fan anyway. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I really liked the generous serving of chicken and it was perfectly cooked and tender. The dressing was tasty and the croutons were crunchy. The lettuce was shredded more than chopped which is fine. Overall it was a decent Caesar. I like having a Caesar option at pub. The Brussels sprouts were decent also. Somewhat crispy though not as crispy as hubs would have liked. I usually order crispy Brussels whenever possible when we go out and I'd give these a mid to high 4 of 5 stars. The sauce was delicious. Our plates were cleared a couple of times during our meal even though every server was super busy and we did have plenty of water. Parking is sometimes available on the street directly in front of the pub but there is also parking a short walk as well. There's dessert next door as well as at UDF for a short walk. Fun area with a lot going on and I like that there are outdoor patio seating options as well. I would definitely come back here. Mid 4 stars, happily rounded up to 5. read more

Stopped in for a quick late lunch. They were very quiet and we were seated on the patio promptly. The menu is small but well executed. Our sandwiches, chicken and burger, were tasty. The Brussels sprouts were excellent, but if course they were. My biggest issue was the value. Everything is ala carte and kinda pricey. I think my solo chicken sandwich was $16. No sides, not even chips. It was good, but ... We drive by here all the time. The value, or lack thereof, makes me question whether we'll stop again. read more

Came here over the weekend with a group of friends. I've been wanting to try it for a while now but just never made it over that way. Had about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday night so not terrible. Had a drink at the bar next door while waiting. We started with the shishito peppers and guacamole. The sauce with the peppers was to die for. Guac was top notch and didn't expect it from this place. My fitness split a burger and chicken sandwich's I got the regular burger and got it smothered with bacon. It may be one of the best burgers in Cincy aside from Sacred Beast. Perfectly cooked, cheese melted just right. Flipping amazing. The chicken sandwich I had a bite of and also delicious. Internal service, drinks, atmosphere all great. I will be going back soon! read more

boyfriend and i were lucky enough to walk in and able to grab a spot at the bar for dinner after hearing rave reviews about delwood's burgers! service from the bartender was great, bf got a draft beer and i got the ~sober margarita~ which was SOO good, you can tell their cocktail ingredients are fresh! food wise? i got the double cheeseburger & he got the spicy chicken sandwich which were both SO tasty- the fried chicken was juicy yet crispy, and the burger was hearty and flavorful! i do wish that at a price point of $13-$18 for a sandwich that fries would be included as a side, but alas! the sandwiches alone are worth the price & we'll definitely be back for them. & dont forget to stop by guardia next door for an after dinner soft serve! read more

Delwood was on our Mt. Lookout tour. High yelp ratings brought us here. It was on the cool side, but the outside area out back called to us. It warmed up quickly. Our waiter was kind and efficient. There were a couple Fish & Chips ordered. I'd say my friends enjoyed their meals. I had the Fried Chicken B.L.A.T. Salad - Bacon, chopped romaine, avocado, tomato, aji verde. I opted for grilled chicken. It was quite good. Mark had the Fried Chicken Sandwich - Aji amarillo aioli, coleslaw on a toasted potato bun. I recall he liked it okay. The ambiance was nice. It would be great on a summer evening. The food wasn't great, but it was good. We might hang here if we lived nearby, but I wouldn't make the trip to Mt. Lookout Square just for Delwood. That said, it was definitely A-OK. read more

Might be my new favorite dinner place!! A group of friends, and I went to try this spot out, and was so excited. We were able to. We sat next to the window, and it was so cozy inside. The server was absolutely amazing, and answered all of our questions along with helped recommend beer and cocktails. we ordered chips and guac and the peppers as a appetizer and they were delicious and then for dinner I got a Caesar salad with chicken and my partner got a burger and both of them were so good. We ended up splitting them in half and sharing with each other. overall, this place was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to come back read more

For the longest time, I've been wanting to try this place out. I've read the reviews and was truly impressed. Dined in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Best described as an American fusion. The inside is small with two bars. Not as spacious but definitely has a good vibe and welcoming. The menu is simple. Appetizers/Sharables, salads, soups, sandwiches, and burgers. All meals are a la carte. All look good that it was hard to decide. Drink menu definitely had a great selection. They serve specialty cocktails, beers on tap, and wine. We ordered: Wine: -La Posta Paulucci Malbec Appetizers: -Shishito Peppers Lunch: -Chopped Salad add grilled chicken ($5.00) -Veggie Burger (black bean burger) We didn't have to wait long at all. Our shishito peppers were the best! The sauce enhanced the flavor: My Mr and I split the Veggie Burger (black bean patty) and the salad. One of the best and light lunches I've ever had. The black bean burger had avocado and the sauce that was served with the shishito peppers. So good and addicting. The salad was amazing. The ingredients and veggies paired well with the champagne dressing. The service was excellent! We had two servers looking out for us and they were very attentive. What a great experience. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Loved the bar! Food was super delicious. Highly recommend the cheeseburger and fries, you can't go wrong. The service was normal. Hostess was a bit rude and not accommodating until manager stepped in when she overheard the hostess trying to send us away. Place was popular and a bit loud. read more

Great burgers, great service, awesome space. No reservations so be prepared to wait for a bit. It's worth it though.

Stopped by this place and ate out back with with my friends dog. They were super accommodating since we wanted to be in the shade with our Great Dane. The back patio is through a small walkway. The salad was delicious, the waffle fries were also yummy and the black bean burger was great as well! read more

All the yums! Took my daughter to Delwood for her birthday lunch. The weather was nice enough to sit on the patio. She had a chopped salad and I had the Brussels sprouts. So good. She's not a huge fan but tried one anyway and said "not bad, but I'll stick with my fries." She had a burger and waffle fries...which were crispy and extra delightful with the house aioli. I had the chopped salad with grilled chicken for my main. I ate all the veggies and was stuffed! Definitely recommend. read more

This place is the real deal. The burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, yucca fries, salads, sauces and more are delicious. We first had it during COVID as carry out and it was to die for even then.

The staff is always so kind to us, even when it's crowded! read more

My lady and I had been wanting to check this spot out for a bit and finally did recently. Absolutely glad we did because it was great. Excellent service, very tasty food, and a relaxed local feel. We rolled in in a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Even though they were pretty busy, we were sat right away. The place isn't huge but they do have lots of seating inside as well as a patio around back. Their menu isn't huge either but has a nice variety of upscale pub grub. Their libations menu is very nice. Our server Meg was very friendly and attentive. We started out with an order of shishito peppers and my lady got a glass of Malbec. The peppers were out very quickly and tasted fantastic especially with the aji verde aioli. As for our mains, my lady got the veggie burger, and I got the chopped salad with grilled chicken. Again, we didn't wait long at all before it was all ready. My salad was bigger than I'd expected and very tasty. My lady really enjoyed her veggie burger and I thought it was delicious too. I'm glad this spot is so close to where we live because we'll certainly be coming back. I may try their fish and chips next time. Maybe pair it with a Pacifico on draft. read more

Delwood always hits the spot - best burgers in town seriously! The sides are equally as amazing from the Brussels sprouts to the waffle fries to the yuca fries. The service is always great with staff offering great recommendations too, and I never mind when there is a wait for a table because there are plenty of options to go grab a drink while you wait or walk around the square. Love this place forever! read more

long story short: my favorite burger & fries in Cincinnati I've been to Delwood twice & both experiences have been phenomenal. It is crowded & lively, but in a fun way. The service is good too! In my opinion, when you go to Delwood, you have to get the burger & fries. The burger is awesome, so flavorful & cooked perfectly. Their waffle fries are so hot & crispy & come with a delicious dipping sauce. The yuca fries are great too, & I have decided I am truly obsessed with their sauces; they are so flavorful & well balanced. Their cocktails are tasty, but the burger & fries are definitely the star of the show. It is a little bit on the expensive side, but it is worth every cent because it is a transcendent burger & fry experience. read more

I had a pisco martini that would slap yo' momma with it's deliciousness. The menu was simple but very good. I had a great burger. It was packed and apparently always is. I loved the atmosphere, it just felt like hanging out at someone's home. The reasons I docked a star: -they claimed the fries were shareable between 2-3 people. If you eat more than 3 fries, they weren't. I'd say about the same amount of fries as a size medium at McDonald's/Wendy's -the fries were just okay -for a burger and sandwich place, it was as dark as Sotto. I feel older than I should complaining that it was dark... read more

People friendly sports bar in Mount Lookout. Bar seating and patio seating but gets so busy. Sorry friends no reservation but worth the wait if you have to. If you time it just right, you can walk in and have a seat. I love to go during lunch in the middle of the week or in the evening after, the evening rush. My favorite is a margarita not pictured but it is my favorite in the city. The Caesar salad is amazing and I just learned you could add fish and not get the chicken. So worth it so good they've been thriving a while now so if you haven't been, you're a little late. read more

Finally got to try out Delwood after it being open for a while in Cincinnati. Every time I have tried to go the place is PACKED, which is probably a testament to their food. We got the Brussels sprouts, the burger, and the fish and chips. Honestly, the Brussels sprouts were fine. Nothing really special about them. However, the burger was the star of the show. It was delicious - simple and well made. The fish and chips was some of the best I've had in Cincinnati. The breading was light and fluffy not at all greasy. Fries were ok, nothing special. Overall would order either of these two dishes again. We sat outside, which was very nice. I'm very glad we didn't get an inside table - the placed is very cramped and loud. Again, it's because it's so popular and there's lots of people there, but I don't like that kind of environment. Outside was way more calm and more enjoyable. Will absolutely go here again. The main courses are worth it. Just would love to go on a less busy day. read more

402. I've been here a few times, mostly at the bar. Their apps don't disappoint.

I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! We were passing through Cincinnati on our way to Columbus so I wanted to plan a meal around making a tourist stop. Of course I referred to Yelp to explore the highly rated restaurants. Actually, one of the reasons I chose Delwood was because they are dog friendly. Unfortunately, that is only the case during the warm weather to sit on the patio and it was winter time! I was able to order food at the bar to go. The staff informed me I could order beers for us to sip outside while we wait for the food. They were also so nice to provide a bowl of water for our munchkin. We were planning on eating in the car because our food would get cold very quickly outside. Our food was ready before we finished our beers so I requested plastic cups to transfer our beers into so we can finish it in the car. The staff accommodated that as well. OMG this burger was orgasmic!!! I ordered the double cheeseburger smothered, which was a suggestion by the staff, and I am so glad I accepted! Everything was so flavorful and I'm drooling just reminiscing about it now! Hubs ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, which was also amazing. But hubs wished he ordered the same thing I did. The fries were good, nothing horrible nor exciting. I do love some crinkle fries though! I am not sure when or if I will ever be in Cincinnati again but I am definitely stopping here again if I am here. read more

We love Delwood! It's such a hidden gem and the staff is so kind and the patio is so nice. Probably some of the best salads I have ever had!! I keep coming back for the Cesar salad. You have to try the Brussels sprouts as the appetizer too. Nothing but great things to say! read more

Have become regular Delwood visitors and totally agree with the hype. The atmosphere is easy: it is a bar. Same faces work there and I think that says alot about the satisfaction folks probably have working there. It also translates to friendliness and knowledge on the menu. Everyone is of course attentive as well. The menu is basic and limited. Exactly what you would expect when you go to a bar. Everything is quality. Go to items for myself and other folks that join me include the fried sishitos, burger with either bacon or egg or both, the fried chicken, and waffle fries. It is a win everytime. Fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is all what you would expect plus more because it is consistently perfectly cooked. Great place and can't wait until next time! And the time after that. And the time after that ! read more

The burger is the star of the show. Very juicy and it came with plenty of the special sauce. The special sauce was actually dripping from my burger. The burger was delicious, but expensive. Especially since the burger does not come with sides. The waffle fries are crisp and came with aioli, but a little lackluster. I actually would have preferred to dip my fries in the special sauce rather than the aioli. Parking is tight and there are not a lot of parking spaces available. Good thing the staff will bring your carry out order to your car. read more

I was meeting a friend here and she said she wanted to sit outside and I was really confused about where the outside area was. When I went in, it looked like a small bar area and was asked if I would like to sit on the patio in the back. I was like wow I feel dumb, but agreed to sit out back. The patio was beautiful and shaded enough that I enjoyed the nice weather without it being too sunny to enjoy. Our waiter, Oliver, brought out two waters and I asked for a shareable of chips and guac. I also ordered a jalapeño margarita and asked if they could put a splash of pineapple juice in it. He said that sounded super good and he couldn't wait to try it. We got our orders take and I got the veggie burger. It was VERY messy, but SO worth it. I really wanted to try the dessert there, but was stuffed after two margaritas, the shareable, and my burger. I absolutely loved the food and atmosphere and can't wait to come back. read more

Quoted one hour wait on a busy Saturday night. We waited an hour and a half. Our party of three sat at a table made for two with a stool scooted to the side. Not comfortable. Yucca fries were good but not as remarkable as the reviews had stated. We waited ten minutes to order, then over thirty for our food to arrive. We were told the burgers were amazing. Mine was small, dry, and overcooked. The BLAT chicken salad was good but small. The best part of our meal was the Brussel sprouts. The ambiance is nice but our experience made it feel overrated. read more

Overall: a good spot for a casual dinner with good food! Parking: 3/5 stars -- always a bit difficult in Mount Lookout, and likely will have to pay a few dollars for a meter. I've got a free spot a few blocks down, but expect to walk a few minutes for the prime location they're at! Location: 5/5 stars -- right in the square, plenty around to see and places to hang out at if you have a significant wait. In terms of Mount Lookout, the location can't get any better! Availability, 4/5 stars -- we had to wait ~10 minutes this time around, which is as expected since we walked in at 6pm on a Friday... overall, not bad at all! However, there's not a good waiting area since the bar is usually packed, so expect to wait outside or at a nearby establishment. Not a huge deal, but notable if you've got a bigger group. Service, 4/5 stars -- very attentive and quick. The server wasn't exceptionally amiable, but got the job done. Not anything super noteworthy here, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! Atmosphere, 3/5 stars -- I always appreciate good interior design, and there wasn't much here... Usually my expectations are low (I came to a restaurant, not an art gallery, after all) but for the pricing and the look of the exterior, I'd expected more. Not a ton of intent it appears, but looked like a standard semi casual restaurant. Food/drinks, 4/5 stars -- the burger, as claimed, was delicious. The fries were standard (so, pretty good IMO), and the fish (in the fish and chips meal) had just the right amount of grease and crisp... Good higher end grub food! Pricing seemed a bit high for me for what you get, but not outrageous. We also got Palomas... certainly hit the spot during a massive heat wave! read more

YUM!! I do not know why it took me so long to finally try Delwood. I had long heard people raving about it. I am so glad I finally did because it was great! I placed an order ahead for take out online. I was able to snag a quick spot out front and ran inside to grab my order. They do also offer curbside. I tried the crispy brussels sprouts which were seriously like Pringles. You cannot eat just one. They were addictive! The sauce that they came with was so good I couldve eaten it by itself! I also tried the tostones. They were equally as amazing and addictive. So was their dedicated sauce. For the main dish I got the El Jefe Double burger, smothered. It was fabulous. Seriously. Great flavor all around. I also got a caipirinha cocktail, which was decent, but probably would be better if you were dining in, which I look forward to coming back and doing in the future! read more
