    Boneless wings

    Yikes lol, ordered 6 pc (only got 5 !!) boneless chicken for take out and came like this

    Caprese Side Salad
    Andrea E.

    My coworkers and I stopped in for lunch and were the only patrons there. We all had the salad and sub lunch special which was a decent deal. I had the caprese side salad and hot chicken sub. The sandwich was good but the chicken was overdone. I'll try the pizza next time. Service was friendly!

    Pizza was not hot, ingredients don't seem to be fresh, tasted stale, crust isn't very good, very little sauce, tasteless.

    15 minutes after my order was supposed to be ready they hadn't even put it in the oven yet. The manager was rude and the staff was useless.

    Came here during restaurant week just to try the restaurant and can say I will be back!…read more I ordered the Ceaser salad with the short rib empanada and short rib gnocchi. The Ceaser salad was the best Ceaser salad I ever had! The short rib empanada and the gnocchi was good as well but the gnocchi was covered in scallions. That wasn't stated on the menu or by our server when I asked if onions were in the dish, so unfortunately I did have to send that back and have it remade then ate the rest once I got back home. I also tried the Black Angus NY and it melt in my mouth like butter. They were busy and it did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it.

    Wow! What a way to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary! I loved this place…read more It has been a few months since eating here but I still find myself thinking about it. Our next trip to Cincinnati; It will be extremely difficult to stay away from here. We spent the day in Newport and around Cincinnati and wanted somewhere nice for the occasion. I was iffy on this place at first... you can throw a rock all over America and hit a place with 'Barrel' in the name these days. The Yelp reviews swing both ways here but I'm here to tell you my take... because it swings so far towards the 5 stars that it's very much a 6 or 7 star place(maybe more). We gauged our arrival time based on other activities that day. We wanted ample time at the nearby Lego exhibit so when we arrived there, we made a reservation for 4:30-5. Eating early and making our way back to Louisville was a great idea. The entire time we were there, no one else came in so we had the entire place to ourselves(It was a Friday). The atmosphere is homey but during busy times, I could see it being noisy. The booths could easily fit 6 people comfortably... probably 8 in some cases depending on how wide some of you are. Special Note: This place highlights The Parrillada Experience for Two on their menu and we wanted it! We didn't order it because at a price tag of 130-and pictures online, we didn't want it to be a failed outing. After our first trip, The Parrillada Exp will be on the agenda next time. It's a mixture of different steaks, sausages, shrimp, sides, and salads. Definitely worth the cost. On to the food: Sausage App - Argentine Chorizo. Farmhouse Sausage. Grilled Ciabatta. Hearts of Palm. Green/Red chimichurri. Pepper Relish. I don't like ordering this type of dish when I go places because you never know if it's going to be delicious or very bad. It ended up being super delicious. We couldn't make up our mind which sauce we liked the best and which meat we liked the best. App PERFECTION! Land and Sea - This is what my wife went with. Asada Skirt Steak. Jumbo Shrimp. Asparagus. Red chimichurri butter. I had bites of the shrimp and it was good. I had to save room for my dish. Wagyu Denver Cut - I went back and forth. Lobster ravioli being on the menu almost made my decision instant but I was going back and forth between ravioli, steak, and a few other things. I asked the server which he recommended of the 4 Chef's cuts. He recommended two... one of which was the Wagyu so I went with it. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. He mentioned that the Wagyu Denver Cut was a new addition to the menu... I'm not sure but you could definitely tell it was cooked, arranged, and presented with care. I savored every angle of every bite. We also ordered a side of brussels because of course! Originally we were going to dessert somewhere else but went ahead and ordered the Hazelnut Vanilla Creme Brulee here. Perfect ending to the meal. This brulee was light and had the right amount of crunch. It was also larger than expected. We had no complaints with this place. Easily one of the better restaurants I've had in Cincinnati. If you're doubting visiting this place, take the dive! Other notes: They have beer and a small cocktail variety but they primarily seem focused on wine(plenty of options to choose from).

I did the build your own salad with Iceberg Romaine, Herb Pulled Chicken, Ghost Pepper Jack Cheese, Banana Peppers, Broccoli, Carrots, Edamame, Croutons and Avocado Ranch dressing. It was one of the best salads I ever had.

    This Green District location seems hellbent on vaporizing the term "fast casual" from the American…read morelexicon. Because "fast" is an unknown word at this place. The good first, though: Whatever the flaws in its business model, Green District still turns out well-conceptualized salads that always seem fresh and tasty. The Hide & Go Greek is a very nice chicken one with a robust, terrific dressing. The Thai One On salad is (you guessed it) an Asian-influenced one with shrimp, lots of cabbage and cilantro, and a kind of generic but fresh-tasting Asian-style ginger-heavy dressing. Also very good. Fortunate thing you can order online and don't have to verbalize those unwieldy salad names to a fellow human. (But if you think those names are bad, another one wants you to hold its beer: the Tequila Mockingbird.). Anyway, the food gets this to three stars, but only barely. Alas, the service at this location is a shambles. Count on at least a 35-minute wait, even if you order right after 11am, when things presumably ought not to be backed up. And it looks like chaos back there--just not enough employees back there, most likely. Last time it took this restaurant an incomprehensible 50 minutes to get my salad out. (Who with a regular lunch "hour" downtown has time for this?) Credit to the unflappable and put-upon young fella at the end of the line; he kept doing his job steadily and kept cheerful about it. The manager is always madly rushing about and isn't nearly as cheery (but it almost certainly isn't her fault, either). It astonishing that the food can be is good as it is in this environment. There's something very wrong about this restaurant's business model when the family-run lunch spot down the street (seemingly just as many orders) can crank out your to-go salad (as good as here, for the most part) in three to five minutes and be as friendly as they can be about it. Whoever came up with the plan has some major issues to resolve.

Sadly, my experience this time left room for improvement. The salad was certainly yummy and I loved that. However, I had trouble ordering on the app. It wouldn't allow me to select that I wanted bread and it showed that it would be ready in one hour after the order was placed. I tried to call to have it resolved and they didn't answer the phone. When I showed up, I waited in line to get help and was sent down to the cashier at the end.

My salad was pretty basic just greens peppers and tomatoes with no dressing on the side . I paid a little over 7.00 for it . I got it home and used my own low calorie dressing and added some protein to it . I think the girl that took my order thought I was crazy when I adamantly declined dressing lol. All the veggies were fresh and tasty as well. She was very friendly and the guy working with her was friendly as well. I love the aesthetics of this store it has a very rustic but cool feeling to it . It's clean and well lit . They've got a unique selection of lemonades to choose from . And I wish I could have one or two . (Maybe on my next cheat day I'll stop in and grab a lemonade).

I talked to who I assume was the owner about the place and I liked everything I heard. Outside of the retail aspect of the place, he's already been selling pizzas to local businesses and bars in the area. He builds, cooks, and flash freezes the pies so they are ready to be popped in the ovens and served hot. That's a great idea. He also said that he wanted to start in a small space, get the Ghost Kitchen Pizza name out there, then aim higher in the future. Good thinking. Everything he said about the trajectory of where he's aiming looks like it's well thought out and not getting in too big too quickly, but eventually getting there. With this pizza, I'm sure that they will realize their goals. The crust is great. Not all floppy and doughy. The chew is just about perfect. The end crust takes just a little "gnaw" to bite through, but definitely not tough. The sauce was tasty, just about perfect for my tastes. A little sweet, and it was present like any other ingredient, it didn't get lost. I saw another review saying their sauce was a tad spicy, I didn't get that. It was a little sweet. For my first time, I got The Burr (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, banana peppers) at his suggestion, and it was a great suggestion! I love little places that have a passionate owner and workers, that's why I rarely(if ever) go to chain restaurants. You can just tell by a conversation with a local business owner that they have passion, and a game plan for their future. I heard about the giant 50 pound wheel of mozzarella they grate their own cheese from, and other quality stuff you will never hear from a chain restaurant employee. They aren't paid to care. This place wants to make you a quality meal so you tell your friends, and come back! So, friends, go here, eat well, thank me later. Recommended. Oh yeah: take-out only
