This business deserves a 5 star rating!!!! The menu is one of a kind- very unique to the cincinnati area. French toast is a 10/10- even reheated the next day the texture and flavor were still a 10/10!!!! INSANE!!! If you can't decide between the potato and onions or the cheese grits- let me tell you right now you NEED both in your life!!!! The customer service is exceptional, the staff is very well mannered, polite and professional. The whole vibe of the place is warm and inviting. The inside is beautifully decorated. It's definitely a nice place for breakfast with the family or even just a date!! Please consider stopping by you might just find your new favorite breakfast place!! read more

Great food, nice service. Awesome spot to have in the area. I can tell they don't really have the best process or flow figured out yet and things are definitely a bit slow. This isn't a quick turnover diner either way. I'm sure it gets really backed up on a weekend. But enjoy some time with friends and have some delicious food. The French toast sampler was no joke. read more

The name of the restaurant caught my eye a few days ago driving past, so when my husbae suggested breakfast, I decided to try here. Parking is a little tricky because there is limited parking out front and you have to really go around the block to park in back and walk back around. You don't really have an option to park on the side streets because one doesn't have close street parking and the other is a one way. When we first arrived it took us a few minutes to be seated as someone was placing a to go order and there was no one else there to seat us. Once we were seated and ordered, it took less than 10 minutes for our food to arrive. I know it's called French Toast Heaven, but the salmon croquettes were calling my name. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and had a pleasant experience. That said, given the price point, I expected the food to feel a bit more elevated. I'm excited to see how the space evolves, based on photos of their West Chester location, it looks like they've done a wonderful job creating an inviting atmosphere, and I can't wait to see how they bring that same touch to this location. We'll have to come back and try some of the famous French toast on our next visit. read more

We ordered takeout and took it home. And it was really just so so,nothing to brag about. The home fries were probably made hours before and were just sitting on the griddle because they were very very dry. Was questioning the gravy on the biscuits as it was dark. Order the goetta omelette and didn't taste the goetta? though I saw it it just didn't have any taste. McDonald's has better coffee. I think if we ever go back, it'll be in the morning when everything's fresher? We had a late breakfast. So I think we got some items that have been sitting? wife couldn't finish her coffee went to pour it out and there was probably a half a teaspoon of grounds at the bottom. read more

French Toast Heaven - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

33 miles away so we will probably not be back but I thought the food was great. Biscuits and gravy, omelet with jalapeno and chorizo that came with fried potatoes and toast. Most I brought home. My husband talked about the peach french toast but ended up getting the cinnamon french toast with a side of grits. He said the french toast was really sweet. Service was good but the only table available for 2 was in the window which I was sweating before we left....it was a hot day out. They could use some blinds. The place is average size and the menu as well. If you are in the area I do suggest eating there, and if you have not tried it, you should. I dont think this is a franchise and is family owned so show them some business. Parking is out front on the street unless you can find a spot behind the building. read more

Slow start, but the welcoming staff and good food made up for it. The portions are generous, and the catfish reminded me of my grandmother's, seasoned just right and full of comfort. The grits were delicious, especially with the different add-on options. My veggie omelet was a little undercooked at first, but after I let my waitress know, the chef quickly made me a fresh one that came out perfect. Great customer service and good soul comfort food. I'd definitely come back! read more

Run don't walk to French Toast Heaven ! Honestly THE BEST breakfast I've ever had in a restaurant. The food was amazing , pricing reasonable for the huge portions they give you , service was fast and friendly , very clean and lots of nearby parking . Norwood's hidden gem . I highly recommend! read more

YUMMMMMM! I had heard about French Toast Heaven but positive word of mouth led me to try it. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted and immediately sat by their delightful host. Once seated, we were immediately greeted by our really awesome server, Raven. I tried the Catfish and Grits with a side of the classic French Toast. My friend ordered the Catfish and classic French Toast with a side of grits and eggs. Our food was DELICIOUS! Additionally, we learned that they served MIMOSAs. My goodness, my pineapple mimosa along with my dish plus great service and a vibe scene made for a really awesome first experience. I will return soon and often. read more

French Toast Heaven - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My friend and I tried here recently and I have to say I was definitely disappointed. The French toast was fine but I think it was sub-par, I definitely could've made these easily myself at home. One was supposed to stuffed with cheesecake and I had a hard time finding the filling. Their other items sounded amazing, like the grits, and I'd go back to try those. The location was also impossible to find because they only have one small chalkboard to tell you their location and are located in a old different restaurant building of which the sinage was never changed. We drove up and down the strip mall searching for the place. read more

Sat down for an hour and did not even get asked for a drink. Me and my girlfriend drove 30 plus minutes to this location and were excited to try the new business. We got sat down instantly and had been sitting down for an hour and a half and there was no waiter or waitress. Also serving people that had just walked in. Absolutely unbelievably bad service and 0 awareness. We had to get up and leave before they said anything to us. Do not I repeat do not give this place business read more

Friendly and fun atmosphere. We were all cheering (or yelling) as the bengals were playing on the tv. I have to admit the prices are a little high and I was slightly disappointed that they don't offer a French toast breakfast but they do offer large portions for their main breakfast dishes. Was the French toast heavenly? Yes. And if I'm being honest I couldn't finish all four pieces in one sitting. Surprisingly they tasted even better when I reheated them for a late lunch. I am happy they allow you to order a French toast flight with any four flavors your heart desires. Next time I will try another breakfast option! I also tried their mango mimosa which was very good. They have about 6 different flavors to pick from for $5 or you can purchase a mimosa flight. read more

From the server, to the serves, and last but not least, the chef----Everything was amazing. The grits and french toast are made with a special touch of Grandmas/ Moms love. The Seafood Food biscuits are a MUST! Please check him out and tell Chef Maurice, Detroit has been shouting him out in a major way. We coming back just to support this business read more

I was pretty satisfied with my time at the restaurant today. Our server was Timely and when we asked a question she made sure to get the correct answer for us. I ordered the chose 1 French toast with a side and I wasn't expecting it to be that big of a portion but enjoyed every bite. The salmon on top of the avocado toast could have used some more seasoning on it. It tasted like they just took it out and cooked it without even salt or pepper. The soul rolls were very good I just wish there was an even amount of yams, Mac, and turkeys and greens in there. There were 2 rolls that had mainly greens and a small amount of Mac in it. I believe the turkey may only be mixed in with the greens and I only have 2 bites of it that I noticed. read more

We have been hearing positive things about this restaurant so we wanted to give it a try. There is no signage yet but once you find the address you can see the small board out front with the daily specials. There was no wait upon arrival but it did quickly fill in as it's a smaller sized dining area. Our server was Shay (sp) and she was great. Very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We placed our order and it took roughly 15/20 minutes for the food to arrive. All the food was hot and fresh. My personal favorite was the Avocado toast. Lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. My boys went for French toast flights, which they devoured. My husband went for the eggs, fried potatoes and French toast plate. Overall, the food was very flavorful, fresh and hot. read more

Great food, if you have the time. This is a tougher one to write but I'll kick it off on a high note. Our food was fantastic! More details to come. FTH is fairly new so they don't quite have the signage up out front. But with as busy as it was, you can definitely tell that this is not a hidden hot spot. The secret is out! They don't have a huge seating area but they do make the most of their space. Not a lot of over doing it in the decor department, but they don't have to when the food speaks for itself. Our first observation was that they were full. A few open tables but busy. The hostess pleasantly greeted us and let us know that there'd be about a 30 minute wait. We did opt to wait but I did ask her if she over estimates, under estimates or tries to be more on target. She replied by saying that she tries to over estimate the times as to not keep people waiting beyond her estimated wait time. PERFECT ANSWER! Nobody is going to get annoyed by being seated early. Well done. Our 30 minute wait wound up being about 15 - 20 minutes. They do take your number and call you. They don't text. We waited in the car for a while and they eventually called. Once seated, the Team member assigned to our table, Mashaya, came over and greeted us after a couple of minutes. She was an absolute delight throughout. Friendly, attentive and polite. When she first stopped by us, we were ready to order. Here's where the review may sound a bit negative, but also follow suite to some other negative reviews, kind of. From the time we placed our order with Mahaya to the time we received our food was about 40 minutes. For the full picture - this was on a Sunday at about 1:15pm and they were busy. We also noticed quite a few take out orders being picked up as well. This likely affects the wait times as well. That said, it was a bit long on the wait for the food. But then, the food arrived.... I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast. Awesome! I did order a side of sausage, but that I was not the biggest fan of. That may just be me on that one. I didn't care though. The French Toast was thick, perfect consistency, chew and balance of sweetness. It truly was fantastic. I did expect something of a cheesecake like filling between the two thick slices of French Toast, but there wasn't. I did notice something of what might have been a cheesecake sauce though. Cooked strawberries and whipped cream on top made this perfectly delicious. The other item we ordered was the Avocado Toast with Grilled Salmon, less the Avocado. This was basically toast, fried egg and a grilled salmon filet on top. I didn't try this but I was told it was fantastic as well. Now, I share some of the review comments on the time it took our food to come out. And yes, after about 30 minutes we were told the kitchen was backed up. But what I don't share from a number of comments made were anything to do with the temperature of quality of the food. Our food came out hot and delicious. The atmosphere was bustling and busy. The FTH Team members quickly moving about keeping all of the busy tables happy, kitchen in high gear and dozens of happy customers in conversation. We were sandwiched between one table with a teenage customer who insisted on blasting music from their smart phone, which didn't seem to phase the two others at their table, and a young couple who spent the 20 minute wait for table hotboxing stale garbage green in their car with the windows rolled up. That's absolutely no reflection on the restaurant however, having Beats Johnson in my ear and the wafting of the Dank Stank Duo on the other side of us was a bummer. Would I go back? I have to give that an honest 50/50. If you have the time, and you want to have time to maybe sit and catch up with friends and your wait time isn't important, then yes, this would be great. Because ultimately it's a nice social outing with great food and service to really bring it all together. If you're more of an in-and-out type of customer, which I know I tend to be, then you might not be as impressed with the overall experience. This was an impulse lunch and we were not disappointed. Great food can almost always make anything and everything alright. Thanks again to Mashaya and the rest of the FTH Team for a great lunch!!! read more

Overall the food was good. I would highly recommend the catfish & grits. The batter on the fish was a little salty for my taste when eating by itself but, when it's mixed with the grits it's not. The service was good up until we got our food. After that, the server didn't come back to our table until we asked for a box and, then a different server gave us our check. The inside of the restaurant could use a little TLC and signage on the outside of the building is needed. This place definitely has the potential to be a 5 star restaurant with some improvements. read more

Wife and I went here after church this past Sunday and we loved it. We had no wait to be seated service was awesome! Our food arrived quickly and it was fantastic.

Definitely not worth the prices. Food was so so and the service slow, and disjointed. Messed up the bill and refused to correct it.

I went to this place Sunday 5/24/26 after church service after looking up and reading reviews etc. The best part of our experience was that our party of 7 was seated within 10 mins. The lady that seated us seemed to be nice/ pleasant. Once seated our server Brandy came to our table gave us menus and walked away. Once we were ready to order she took our orders and we waited over 30mins to get food, the food came to each of us slightly warm or cold. And served 1 person, 1 item at a time. I'm in my 60's and my experience is that your table is served at the same time. Food for each person at the table comes so that you can all eat together. I ordered the 1st Lady, chicken, grits, toast. she brought the chicken with a couple items for others, 8/10 later she brought the grits, and couple items for others, later the toast. Toast was cold and most or all 7 of our food was cool or slightly warm. None if us had our complete order at once or at the same time. Nothing seemed to be freshly cooked. My chicken taste like it was cooked in old frying grease. One order was to go once we were finished. Brandy brought it out as if it was to be served with the meal that was ordered and it was not what was ordered. Brandy seemed to be too busy to serve us with time and attention. Over all this was a horrible experience. You only have 1 time to make a good 1st impression. read more

Made to order brunch spot. Was sat by the window and it was very cold. Took a while for our food to come. My toast was not cripsy anymore probably from sitting waiting for the other components of the dish. Food was tasty and staff were kind. Come check this black owned restaurant out! Pack your patience when you do! read more

The ambiance was awful. It is definitely a whole in the wall. There is no business sign outside. The only way we knew what it was is because friends told us. Holes in the walls, broken tv, dirty carpet (not changed from previous owners), The customer service was subpar. When asked a question the response was "huh"?? Wow! No bottles of hot sauce on the tables. Was poured from a jug at the table. The food was ok. We will not be back. Definitely need building improvements! read more

This restaurant may be easy to miss as it has no outside signage with name- even though they've been open for several Months. It is located in a small strip mall and does have an electric "open" sign displayed in the window. It's walls are painted a Caribbean blue with accents of gray. The noise level was relatively high and it was stuffy and warm (perhaps due to hot weather that day). I got the shrimp and grits which were described as 'cheesy savory grits'. They were savory, a little unexpected due to the description as they had some jerk-type flavoring and they are spicy. Unfortunately the cheesy grits were light on the cheesy part. The serving size is large. We also had the peach French toast which was very good. Our service was quick. read more

Great service ! Thank you Cross for your attentiveness and recommendations. The host and assistant manager were nice. Overall service was slow. Ordered a flight of French toast as sun as we sat Down and it came out 45m later. Entrees took over an hour to receive. Ordered the French toast fight (had Cross surprise us with flavors). We had apple, peach, Cinnamon today crunch and strawberry crunch. Honestly all of the French toast taste the same, just with different toppings. It makes sense, but ironically it was underwhelming. The toast (although cooked perfectly) didn't really have flavor. I'd recommend the fruit topped ones. Entrees Two French toast and fried chicken (one original and one banana foster) Two breakfast bowls- one with salmon and one with pork chops. Strawberry cheesecake French toast I'll give them grace because they are new. But I hope they work out the kinks sooner than later. read more

My son & I decided to do a late breakfast after hitting the driving range. He had eaten at French Toast Heaven when they were at a different location. So he was definitely up for stopping here. Upon entering we were greeted promptly by a smiling young lady who seated us and got our drink order. She gave us a few minutes to go over the menu and answered my questions about a couple of items. We placed our order and waited. There is a card on a stand asking for patience as all things are made from scratch so it could take up to 25-30 minutes. We were in no hurry plus my son said it would be worth the wait. Our order came out in about 9 minutes. Not long at all. But IT WAS WORTH IT! My son ordered the Jerk chicken and grits. It consisted of cheesy savory grits topped their jerk chicken breast, chicken sausage, peppers, and onions. Up to now, I was not a fan of grits, however, I tried some of his dish and all I can say is, BIG FAN of their cheesy grits!! Yes! I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch which is their signature French Toast topped with Cinnamon toast crunch and icing. I ordered the half size. Good thing I did. The pieces of French toast are really large. Probably the tastiest French toast I've ever had. Since it's not far from my home, definitely going to be going back and trying some other items!! Soooo goood!! Note: I drive by there on Sundays after church. They're busy!! So, be prepared to wait. But it'll be with it!! Absolutely!! read more

This place is doing a great job to have only been open a few weeks! Yes, I waited about an hour for our table of 4 to be seated, but it was a Sunday at 1130AM so I can't complain about that. Once seated, however, the waitress was so efficient and friendly. Our orders were taken quickly and we had plenty of coffee and water to hold us while we waited. The food arrived quickly (about 25 min) and was piping hot! Everything was delicious! Love that the French toast flight allows you to try 4 options. With over 10 varieties on the menu, it's a great way to sample them. The catfish & grits were delicious, with the signature cheesy grits being my favorite item. The menu was out of a few options, but I didn't mind because the waitress told us early in the ordering process. Portion sizes were in line with pricing and ample. The space is small, but we'll designer. Noise levels were typical. It absolutely caters toward family friendly dining. Overall, really yummy and I can't wait to come back. read more

So my BFF and I wanted to try something new. I seen this and suggested it. So off we drove for lunch fun. I ordered a coffee and chicken and waffle. My bff got the salmon toast that came with egg, she also got an orange juice. I didn't realize that the chicken was 6 wings, but wow were they tasty. Extra crispy and juicy. I got the red velvet waffle which was very good. The menu stated chicken strips. I will try those in the future. The coffee sadly has the taste of local water, this would be my only complaint, you may like the local water taste, I am just spoiled having a filtering system at home. My BFF's salmon toast was a freaking meal, it was a full slab of salmon and it was super yummy. The service was extremely good, and after finding out they have only been open for 9 days as of 21 June 2023 I would say they are doing an amazing day. I can't wait to come back. read more

This new and exciting restaurant has only been open for 9 days!! I came with my BFF to try this new little brunch place and we were NOT disappointed!!! It is a small black-owned business: the owner talked to us when we finished our meal and told us her son was also the chef. The food was beyond incredible!!! I ordered the salmon avocado toast and was shocked at the portion size!!!! It was a huge salmon filet with 2 pieces of avocado toast and 2 eggs!!!!! My BFF ordered the chicken and waffles and he got 6 wings and a 1/2 inch thick waffle!!!!! The service was excellent, but slow. That's not a complaint at all since we were able to talk and enjoy ourselves, but definitely not an in-and-out meal. I was happy to wait in order to enjoy a huge hot meal!!! I'm excited to come back and try more of this delicious food from such a wonderful family!!!!! read more

French Toast Heaven - Fried Catfish & French Toast and Chef Maurice Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Interesting idea, poor delivery. Table of 5 at 10am Sunday morning. 4 normal sets of silverware after sitting for about 15-20 min and a plastic set. Since they ran out of silverware through the were not super busy. They were also out of coffee, I saw some coffee cups at other tables so idk if they got more. Food was generic-- French toast was plain French toast with stuff on top to make the different flavors. The only was still runny on the inside and the meat used was frozen junk you would buy to make quick meals. Grits were also flavorless but perfect consistency. Even sharing plates we still paid over $100 for everything. read more

This place was wonderful. It had so many delicious French toast options on the menu plus lots of savory options. The menu was a bit overwhelming but I ended up picking the bananas foster French toast with a side of bacon. It was so good. Four pieces of French toast covered in delicious, rich bananas foster sauce. I am glad I got the bacon though to add a little savory to my food. Service was good. Our waitress was attentive. Always checking in to see if everything was good and we had enough coffee, which was great especially on a busy Saturday morning. As for the restaurant, it is located in a plaza at the end. I had a difficult time locating it because I didn't see a sign above it but saw plenty of people going in so figured this must be the place. Plus there is plenty of parking. My friends and I definitely plan to go back. read more

Casual dining experience with soul food brunch starting at 2pm on Sundays (extended hours until 6pm). Delicious food with expanded menu. Very attentive staff although wait time for food was extended. Creative french toast offerings that can skew relatively sweet. Highlights included the grits flight although some proteins are excluded contrary to the menu. The jerk chicken grits were our least favorite and we would not reorder. The chicken wings, oxtail grits, and seafood biscuits were favorites. Pro tip: If going for a memorable meal, choose a menu item you wouldn't find at a traditional diner. read more

FOOD REVIEW ONLY: The grits were very well seasoned and texture was absolutely perfect. The catfish had excellent breading as well and paired well. I also got the French Sampler to try and I usually don't like Frech Toast but the French Toast as a side dish was definately a 8/10 for me. Overall the food had alot of flavor and had a very big portion. 5/5 Hidden Gem Restauraunt. read more
