The service has been good on each of my visits. Be mindful of the parking situation. They don't have their own lot and you'll either need to pay or get there before the meters kick in. The food has always been good. What I really love, is that their calling card is each customer receiving a little rubber duckie. It adds a little extra and is a unique, fun part of the experience. I plan on coming back the next time I'm around. Give this place a try if you're in the area.

The loud fan and busted wall unit circulating warm air did not set the tone for a relaxing brunch vibes. The water carafes were visibly stained and dirty, not refreshing. The coffee was hot, that's about the only redeeming quality. The chicken and waffles was supposed to be a favorite. The chicken was fine but the syrup and hot sauce were basic. The waffle was undercooked and had about as much flavor as a free Hampton Inn waffle. Actually, the Hampton Inn is much better. All in all, for the price this place is "meh" on a scale of 1-10. Not worth the cost on the bill. * The service staff was super nice.

We had a reservation for two and for some reason they sat us directly next to the loud kitchen. Entire building open and we got bad seats just baffles me. The prime rib carpaccio was basically lunch meat with arugula. We liked the crispies but overall it's not something we really enjoyed and would not order again. It would have been better served on toast maybe. This was something we'd never had before and did not know what to expect so that's on us. 22 oz ribeye and potatoes are ok, a lesser version of sotto. steak was crisped well, not as much fat as usual which i liked. the crispy lasagne was ok. sauce is a tad spicy which was fine. kitchen manager or head chef came out to speak with us and he was very friendly. our server was Jenna. espresso martini - great, done well with strong espresso flavor and foam on top the red borough - very good, comparable to a manhattan blueberry spritz - very fruity, easy drinker s'mores was ok but honestly could do without the ice cream The ambiance is nice, very cute and clean. chairs were different and comfortable! Overall, it was ok. Not one of our top ranked places in cincy.

One of those complete game-changer decisions I'm so thankful for. This was a blast from the early 80s, late 70s!!!! No joke, it immediately smelled like cigarettes when I came in. It was like literally walking through a time warp. Yellow/tan decor with all stainless steel diner facilities and everything. But, let me stress how impressed I was with the cleanliness. When I first came in, the cook came out with an industrial size container of fish fry mix and asked me to help him open it. That thing about ripped my skin off! It took 3tries AND he had to hold the container while I twisted the lid. ...but the point is I was quickly taken back to a time where people weren't afraid to speak to complete strangers. I ordered an egg salad sandwich and 2containers of broccoli/cheese soup to go to go on top of my grilled chicken sandwich:) I WILL be returning to Pepper POD whenever I come back to northern Kentucky (Cincinnati) area.
