    Fresh Cut Fries

    First time trying good plates and it was solid! Ordered takeout and it only took 10-15 minutes for my food to be ready. If you decide to eat at the restaurant, ambiance is good as there is plenty of indoor seating as well. Ordered the garlic fries and house wings. Loved the fries, the flavor was phenomenal. Wings were good as well, but would def come back for the fries.

    Creole Quinoa Bowl
    John B.

    Cincinnati is not a college town, but this area removed from downtown is near the university and definitely gives off a vibe like it's the sort of place you'd bring the parental units. Their bowl and burger menu has a good amount of vegetarian options (though not labeled clearly) and the list of drinks is long. My Creole quinoa bowl arrived in a carboard container with a plastic fork; I was a bit surprised they wouldn't have real dishes. The flavor of the red beans was good; the quinoa was on the soggy side. While nutritious, quinoa isn't the easiest thing to get right. The thin, grilled garlic bread on the side was as addictively delicious as it looks. There were certainly plenty of things that looked worth trying.

    Good Plates Eatery is conveniently located right off UC campus and offers a variety of healthy options! The bowl portions are very shareable and packed with tons of delicious ingredients. This is a great 'work from home' spot too! Street parking available or parking lot next door. We enjoyed : Southwest Quinoa Bowl Brussel & Shroom Quinoa Bowl Garlic Herb & Parm Fries

    First off, I want to be clear. The food here isn't bad. The meatball sub and the burger were both fine, if unremarkable. The garlic fries were average, if a bit bland. The only real issue with the menu was that it's just a bit too expensive for what it is. My sandwich was a little light on the meatballs, I had several bites of just bread at the end. Nevertheless, what kills this place is the service. It took nearly 40 minutes to get our food and it was not crowded in there. For how long we waited, and given the relatively high prices, it just simply was not worth it. I will say, it was nice and clean, but it felt pretty generic vibe wise. Another thing that bothered me, was that even though it's a sit down resturant where you have to leave a tip and are not offered fountain drinks or free refills, we were still served in plain cardboard trays like it was a fast food joint. Again, not a huge deal, but given the wait and the expense it was disappointing. Overall I would skip this place. I can't reccomend it unless you've tried every other sandwich shop in the area and are desperate for anything different.

    Adobo Grilled Cheese Sandwich and  Fresh Cut Fries with Garlic Parm
    Lance E.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. The decor is clean and modern with a farm to table feel. The service is so good. We were approached immediately upon entering and served up quick. I had the Adobo Brisket grilled cheese and garlic parm fries. The brisket was super tender and felt like they made it fresh. Kinda like mom would make it. The park fries were a great side and had a really bold flavor. Jacob had the Ham and Cheese Sandwich which he said was excellent. It looked better than any ham and cheese I've ever seen. I'd definitely recommend stopping in. The problem with the place is there's so much to choose from on the menu. It made ordering a little difficult. Lol not a bad problem to have. Just makes me want to stop by again.

    Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with Chicken
    Emma S.

    Right off campus, a clean, open, cafe-type restaurant. Friendly staff that will check up on you. A friend had frequented the place and I got to join her today. Her usual was the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with chicken and that sounded good to me so I had the same. I've never had quinoa before, but I'm always up for trying something new. The meal was flavorful and came with little side dips/sauces (??) of hummus and greek yogurt (?? I may be totally wrong on that one). I mixed it all together and it was very filling and I felt pretty healthy eating it :). It's also a large portion, so I was able to take home leftovers. I'll be back because I definitely want to try some of their sandwiches.

    I went here on a whim thanks to the Yelp reviews. It was good, but not great. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3 is because of their lemonade, fries, and the employee who helped us. I tried the burger and it was nothing special and honestly lacked a lot of flavor. My friend had the mediterranean quinoa salad and said it also lacked flavor. The parking situation in this area doesn't help this place either. I would consider coming back if I was already parked in the area and I wanted one of their delicious lemonades or to try one of their sandwiches. Otherwise I probably wouldn't revisit.

    Interior is nice and well lit

    Met my mentor here for lunch and ended up staying for like 2 hours talking. The entire time the wait staff were friendly and refilled our waters, which is a plus since I know it can be annoying when people are sitting (but we weren't taking tables from other customers). More importantly - Oh my god the food is dope! We split the beef and chorizo meatball sandwich (with corn salad), and the braised short rib grilled cheese (with fries). They were both great but the meatballs were far and away the favorite for both of us. The braised short rib needed more of the horseradish sauce (which was basically just horseradish and sour cream), but when you got a bite that had the perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and beef (which they give you a lot of beef), it hit hard. Chorizo and beef meatballs were just consistently great, with wonderful sauce and cheese. They absolutely nailed both sides, with the fries being crispy and soft and hot and seasoned perfectly, without any complaints. The corn salad with jalapenos was super mild, with just a hint of heat, but a great blend of flavors with the creamy feta on top. Plus they have an extensive selection of soft drinks. I only wish they had a fountain soda machine.... Otherwise, all 5 stars!

    Great little gem! The food definitely hit the spot and had a home made vibe to. Prices were very affordable and the service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. Recommend.

    Adobo Grilled Cheese Sandwich
    Karen B.

    I ordered delivery and wanted to try a few different options. I did the cold fried chicken (5/5), turkey sandwich (4/5, just a little bland), and the short rib grilled cheese (5/5). Sooo good, fresh ingredients, hit the spot. Can't wait to try more options

    Sweet potato and black bean bowl with beef
    Brandi F.

    When you walk past you wouldn't even know if the were open...but if you get a minute stop in. It's a very quaint establishment across from UC. The cashier was super friendly and took my order quickly. The prices are reasonable. The first time I was here I got a smash burger and it was delicious so this time...now I'm on a health kick...I decided to get a quinoa bowl. I got the sweet potato and black bean bowl with beef. The beef was super tender and...who can go wrong with sweet potatoes and black beans. It was really good. It comes with BBQ sauce on the side but I didn't add it. It was good as is...

    In the heart of Clifton, GP is a perfect little spot to get lunch or dinner. Within walking distance to lots of places, this restaurant offers hand made goodness! I started my meal with a homemade Rice Krispie which was soooo goood. I ordered the good chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint! There is a quarter lot for parking very close by. Looked clean and had wonderful wait staff. So nice to see the PRIDE flag out on June 1st!

    Working in Clifton and having a short time for lunch, I'm always looking for something good, but quick. After working my way through the typical fast food tour of the business district, I finally had some time one day to try out GoodPlates. Ever since my first visit I've been hooked! The staff is super friendly and the lunch service moves quick. I've worked my way through quite a few items on the menu. The Toasted Turkey Basil Sandwich is one of my favorites, but I haven't had one thing I didn't like! Definitely worth the trip to Clifton!

There were lots of tickets, but my breakfast sandwich came within 7 minutes or so.

Nice and hot and not too expensive, I would totally recommend this place for someone to try goetta for the first time and all the clientele had smiles on their faces.

There weren't any tables so we stood to the side to eat our sandwiches, but right outside there were plenty of tables in the market so that would be a good place to sit down and enjoy your food. Next time we go to Findlay Market, we'll be sure to stop by and try some other tasty treats!

We had no idea what we were in for, but we sure were happy we stumbled upon this gem! The selection of cheeses is chef's kiss--so many varieties, all expertly curated, and the staff is happy to walk you through the options like they're your personal cheese concierge. The vibe? Cozy, welcoming, and totally unpretentious. It's one of those places where you can feel fancy without feeling like you're trying too hard. And don't even get me started on the wine pairings... If you're a fan of cheese (and who isn't?), this is definitely a spot you need to visit when in the area. Honestly, I'll be dreaming of that cheese board the next time I'm in Cincinnati, and you bet I'll be back! 10/10, highly recommend.

It was so cute and shaded, a great spot for a lunch or to hang out and enjoy some charcuterie with friends. We enjoyed sitting out there while my sandwich was being made and they brought it back to me. It was wrapped up so nicely and the chopped ingredients make it so every bite has a little bit of everything in it. So good! We ended up walking around the area before heading back home and there are a lot of cute places on the block.

She kept gushing about how much she enjoyed it once we left, so, for that reason alone, it's a five stars by default . And I loved it, too! First of all, the service was awesome - everyone was not only sweet but also super accommodating & helpful, even though we came in maybe 20 mins before closing. Food came super quickly, too! We ordered: - Classic Omelette: So tasty!! Loved the cheeses especially. We also subbed the bacon for white cheddar. My mom wanted me to mention that the mushrooms were fresh/not canned lol. Came with a side of fried potatoes that were also great (mom especially loved them), though I felt they were on the saltier side. - Plain Biscuit: Mom loved it!!! - Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latte: Solid - The B-Roll: I have yet to try this one, as we got it to-go lol.

It showed in the service which was a bit grumpy. However understandable given the large numbers. We had the place mostly to ourselves and we did enjoy it, but I missed the southern charm and hospitality I have felt there in the other locations. It is a small spot but has plenty of windows and cheer. The water is self serve, and their counter is quickly when you enter. I missed the menu board as here they only have menu cards to peruse once you enter. So best to look at menu before arriving so as not to feel rushed. You immediately order at the counter and then pay, and get a card for a table. It is actually more like a fast casual set up which is fine and helps with the flow. I found though that when I wanted more lemonade (free refills) I wasn't sure of the protocol for getting more. (This is where grumpy servers were a bit off putting.) I eventually went to the bar to get my glass refilled. The salad was great and loved the tea. My companion loved her food as well. Great ambience and plenty of seating. However I'm not sure I would go back. If I can I'd go to Nashville and experience the full ambience and flavor as maybe this was an off day, but for someone just visiting once it did not impress as a spot to go back to. But maybe that's just me. And the food is good!
