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.

Great atmosphere and classic rock playing!

Our meal came with toast too. We ordered rye and whole wheat. Candidly, the food didn't have any flavor. The potatoes were the most bland. My veggie omelette had large sliced vegetables inside vs smaller pieces. The huge hotcake was thick and I'm guessing that's the difference between a hotcake and a pancake. It was good but not great. Glad we stopped by. Atmosphere very nice, service was great. We won't return due to the food. Just not good, no flavor.

The speakeasy jazzy vibes were def up my alley. They were wrapping up brunch service, so we were just glad that we were able to get some food. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit which was super greasy but very filling and delicious. My partner got a scramble, which he liked but there were some very hard bits of we think the meat in the dish, and I chalked it up to it likely being the last bits of the available brunch offerings. But he was a little disappointed about that. As for the drinks...the thing that drew me here in the first place, as a gin lover, I was very very pleased. Delicious, both the ones I got (a seasonal cocktail and a classic) and I simply wish I had more time and money to spend here with a fancy drink in my hand. I would love to come back here on a future visit to the Covington/Cincy area.

We had never been to the Echo before even though we come to Cincinnati often. They make their own pies and have a wide assessment of breakfast and lunch items so we were drawn to this little gem. I ordered the hot mess. And it did not disappoint in the least. Let me be clear, if you love breakfast then the hot mess is not to be missed. My better half ordered the blueberry pancake which was perfect. Lightly crispy and tons of blueberries. She also got a side order of bacon that was crispy without being too far gone. The white bread toast was crispy buttery and delicious, most definitely home made. Yum! Our waitress Emmy was so patient with all of my silly questions. She was one of the best servers I have ever had. We will come again and highly recommend eating here. I hope the echo pays Emmy more because she is outstanding.

Overall, I'd give State Line Restaurant 4 stars…read more One of my favorite things about eating here is the homemade strawberry jam and the coffee. The jam is absolutely delicious, and the coffee is consistently good. Those two things alone keep me coming back. My go-to meal is the chopped steak breakfast, which is always satisfying and cooked just the way I like it. I also tried a bite of my friend's country fried steak, and it was excellent. My husband is a fan of their cheeseburger and fries, which are always a solid choice. The food is good across the board, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for what you receive. In a time when so many restaurants have become expensive, it's refreshing to find a place that still offers good value. My one small complaint is their policy of not seating your table until everyone in your party has arrived. I understand the reason behind it, but when you're looking forward to that first cup of their excellent coffee, it can make the wait feel a little longer than it should! So if you're meeting friends there, make sure they're the on-time kind of people. The service is friendly, the food comes out hot, and the overall experience is always enjoyable. All in all, a very good meal and a place we'll continue to visit.

The pancakes were some of the worst I've had. They tasted like they were made from the cheapest pancake mix available, and the butter was a vegetable oil spread that separated back into oil as soon as it got warm. It completely ruined the meal. On a positive note, our server did a good job and was attentive throughout our visit. What surprised me the most was the pricing. The food was more expensive than Cracker Barrel, yet the quality wasn't even close. I want to support local mom and pop restaurants, but they still have to deliver a product that's worth the price. I hope they make some changes because I'd rather see them improve than close. As it stands today, I can't recommend it and I won't be back.
