I was impressed all around. I met the founders while they were still in the design phase of the brewery. From my interaction with them it was clear that they had a high attention to detail. After having the opportunity to experience the brewery taproom I'm happy to see that they executed as well as I had hoped they would. I also love their strong prioritization of sustainability for the concept. I'm a big fan of sour beer so I tried their peach mango sour as well as their Berliner Weisse, both of which were nice, balanced, and enjoyable. As far as the food goes I tried The pastrami sandwich. How delicious. On the sandwich they used nice quality bread, the meat was fresh, and the addition of sautéed leafy greens was welcomed. The french fries that came as a side were decent for out-of-the-box but definitely could've been a little bit better. Overall I had a nice experience and the service was great. The interior looks pretty nice nothing crazy over the top but they did a good job. I highly recommend anyone who's into craft beer to go check this place out and look into what they're doing to promote sustainability and to lead the way for the industry. read more

As a Cincinnati brewery, HighGrain is middle-of-the-pack: they brew enjoyable beer, but it's not one of my favorites. What sets them apart from many of those other Cincy breweries though is that the food is surprisingly good - everything I've ordered has been tasty. Their menu has nice options for people with dietary restrictions, and as a non-vegetarian, I thought their vegan hop cakes were delicious - good enough I ordered them again on a repeat visit. I also appreciate that they have some "seasonal" variation in the menu, including a hearty chicken and dumplings that I hope makes a return to the menu next Fall. Is it one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati? No. But the combination of good food, good beer, and a friendly and welcoming staff makes for a great local business that I will happily return to in the future. read more

Not a bad wait for a Friday night with a party of 5. Service was speedy and everyone was very friendly. Went to the bar while waiting for a table, my sour was alright- definitely recommend the juicy jungle IPA. Wide and interesting beer options, including one inspired by pho. Fried chicken sandwich and Philly cheese steak hit the spot. A good place to go with a family/with kids- not necessarily a "cool" place to go for a wild night out. read more

LOVED this place. A friend and I were in town for a wedding and this was the first stop off the road for us, coming from Metro Detroit. I am so glad we found this place. The space is gorgeous, the staff are friendly and fun, and offered us suggestions for things to do in town. We ended up staying to chat with them, while enjoying beers of course:) Beer is good, and the food was really good too and just the perfect amount for lunch. I would love to come back here if I find myself in Cinci again. read more

Stars for the beer and cool dog friendly space! It's clear the owners have put a ton of thought and effort in to making the outdoor space fun and inviting. Corn hole anyone? Our server Rachel was super at service! Menu is well thought out, but could use work on the execution. Fried okra was done well, but the breading was bland and served with no dipping sauce. Something bright like a creamy or spicy aioli would have been a great accompaniment. It needed a kick of flavor. Fries are super flavorful and I'd order them alone to munch on with a "highest grain" beer. My green tomato BLT was good filled with cheese and smokey flavor, but the bread was so over toasted I had to manually pull the blackened edges off. My date had a side of mac n cheese and it was basic. I love all the new spots that are coming up in the Silverton and Pleasant Ridge area. Get out and support! I'll return for a boozy slushy made fresh! Tip they serve brunch! read more

Beer, burgers, cool atmosphere! If you've been here, great! If you haven't, go! The beer selection is delicious and diverse as is the food menu. Grab a pint and head to the picnic tables outside for an afternoon with friends. The original burger on the menu is seriously delicious. It's one of my top 5 burgers in town! Seating can be tricky here and the menu is a bit on the pricy side but it's worth the trip to this neat little local brewery. read more

My husband and I were in town for a Red's game and decided to change our usual post-game routine and try out HighGrain Brewing. We ordered two flights at the bar and sat at the communal tables in the front of the brewery. It looked like a host would sit people in the back dining area if you were looking to sit down at a table and eat. It seemed like the front area was more casual with some people ordering food and others just drinking beer. I was impressed with all of the beers in my flight. My favorite was the lemongrass saison. My husband and I both loved Graf and ordered a crowler (can growler) to-go. We were impressed with the clean design and ample seating. Although the space isn't huge, there was plenty of seating at communal tables, traditional tables, and outside on the patio. We will definitely be stopping here again to try the food during our next trip to the Cincinnati area. read more

On the way to something great! 5 beers on tap, but hear there are more to come. Need some lighter beer options! Food was good but could use a little more UMPH. We ordered "Al Pastor" wontons because of the reviews. Filling was very yummy! I was disappointed by the biscuit that was served as an app. The presentation was sloppy (beer jelly could of been served on the side). You only get one biscuit with one option of topping. You should think about poss 3 biscuits with multiple toppings. Almost like a board. Definitely will be back! Very excited about this place, and to see where it goes! read more

Ok HighGrain I see you!! Well kind of... I drove by like 4 times and couldn't tell where you were. I kept thinking are they inside CVS? But when I did finally spy you I weaved through the limited parking and made my way inside! Once inside I was IMPRESSED! For a small space, it was spacious. I didn't try any beer, but there was a solid selection that most of my party seemed to like. My focus was the food and I was told you did no wrong when it came to taste. THE TRUTH! I loved my Mac and cheese and wings! There were so many options that sounded delicious I could barely decide. But for those reading this they have got great wings and Mac and cheese! I'll be back soon to try the jerk chicken sandwich! Great afterwork spot! It was pretty busy on a Thursday at 5 pm, so be prepared to look for parking! And again, when your GPS says you've arrived and all you see is CVS, pull into the lot you are there! read more

My experience at high grain was pretty great! I stopped by with a couple of friends on a Saturday evening, and the place was pretty busy. It was a bit confusing finding a seat. You need to put your name on a list, but there's no signage to state that. We saw several people come in after us trying to grab tables, and they had to be approached and told there was a wait. After we were seated we were promptly served, and our waiter was awesome! We all went with flights of beer (all delicious), with an appetizer of pretzels, and an entree of a Philly cheese steak. Everything was delicious, fresh, and filling. I will definitely make my way back, but maybe on a less busy night. read more

Really delicious concoctions and great service. The ambiance was fun -chairs not super comfy tho

Did have a lot of choices but their beer cheese and pretzels and Brussel sprouts were really good.

The food is ok, the beer is ok, the atmosphere is ok. The place did not check all the boxes for me and it is not somewhere that I find myself wanting to run back too. It is close, less than a mile, but honestly too many other choices for me for food and drink. I find the atmosphere pretty organic and not very cozy. The service I did get was good. read more

Request Taylor! I went for lunch today after driving back from Lexington a tad stressed and Taylor had the best recommendations ever. Not only on the menu but he was so knowledgeable on the beer selection as well. I got a grilled chicken salad, the amazing roasted cauliflower, and my bf got the burger. It was such a cute clean, covid friendly environment. I will definitely visit again. I regret not getting a sweatshirt but will next time if you're like spicy, get the Carolina reaper and buffalo sauces, yum!! I lived on elwynne for a bit and remember when it was a police station, high grain absolutely made a beautiful restaurant out of it. read more

HighGrain Brewing Co - Philly Cheesesteak - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My only complaint is that this brewery was not around when I lived in deer park - the cincinnati brewery market is certainly packed and has it's headliners such as rhinegeist, madtree and the like; however, there are a few maybe mid tier breweries that stand out and this certainly is one. Beer: Flights were very reasonably priced and good size 5 oz pours, my personal favorite was the farmhouse Food: shockingly good, I really didnt expect the food to be as high quality as it was. Jerk chicken sandwich had tons of flavor and the fries were hot and great, well seasoned too. The star of the show however was the quesadilla - just order it and thank be later. Well seasoned shredded pork with a fruit salsa that was an awesome spicy and sweet combination. --- Big pluses are the following: - Brunch offered 11-4 on the weekends - Two outside seating areas, a deck as well as gravel patio which is dog friendly. - Shares a parking lot with a CVS so I was able to go over and get some quick shopping in afterwards before I went home, and there was plenty of parking in the combined lot. read more

When we first moved to the area we were delighted that Highgrain was within walking distance of our new home. Not only do they have a great selection of beers, but their food is absolutely delicious. Couple that with their amazing service and you've got a recipe for a perfect neighborhood spot. read more

We decided to check out the new local brewery and have some lunch. We're glad that we did! It's in the old Silverton Municiple Building. Since it was such a beautiful day we decided to sit outside at one of the picnic tables. My husband and I both ordered the Fish and Chips. My husband also tried two of their beers. He said both of the beers he had were really good and he liked them quite a bit. He only wished he'd brought one of his growlers so he could've had it filled. But there's always next time! The fish was prepared well and had a nice, mild flavor. The tartar sauce served with the fish was delicious! It had a really unique flavor and I finished it by using it for my fries too. The malted coleslaw was also really tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. We'll definitely stop by again and try out more of their menus. read more

This place has a lot of potential! Only five beers on tap so far, but their bar boasts room for 25 taps. We got a beer and waited on their porch for a seat for dinner. It was a nice night and it was packed, but we still were able to find a place to sit outside and wait for a table. Between me and my friend, we got an amber ale, the Helles lager and our favorite, the Norwegian table ale. I've never heard of that style but it was SO delicious! Slightly malty and totally drinkable. We only waited about a half hour with our beers from the and then were seated. We ordered the Jerked Chicken sandwich and the Al Pastor wantons. Both were good, especially the chicken on the sandwich. It was really juicy and flavorful. The wantons were good too, but needed some more substance inside so the filling stayed together. I'll definitely be back to try more beers and food! Update: they've changed up their menu-- it's good so far! I had the shrimp and grits. Very good but could really use to be served with something to sop up all the delicious butter! read more

We frequent Highgrain! We love their beer and we may love their food even more. We particularly appreciate their investments in the community! Food wise, we get the ranch brined chicken sandwich almost every time!! So yummy! read more

Service was on point! The servers never let me sit with an empty glass. I had been wanting to try the veggie burger for some time. With eggplant bacon and smoked cauliflower in the mix I was super curious. I enjoyed the flavor (very unique among all that I've tasted) but the texture was a little mushy. All that aside I enjoyed my Hefe, fried and my whole experience and will definitely be back! read more

I live five minutes away and have never made my way here because it's underwhelming from the outside. With all of the brewery/beer pubs in cincinnati it didn't stand out. After going though, this is easily one of my favorites. Unlike other places, the FOOD is actually great! With high a range of well thought out options available, we decided we had to try the braised steak Gordita crunch (although we were going out to dinner that night). YUM! So glad we did. The interior was bright and light making it a great day time spot. Although not as many beer options as Mad Tree or larger breweries, the two I had were quality beers distinct from many in the area. To cap our experience, we had a great server as well. Will be coming back! read more

Great place for date night, and bring the dog! Great food, great service, great beer, and great atmosphere! I just wish they had more parking. Unfortunately, I just don't see a way for them to improve that part since there's limited space. Still, the parking issue doesn't deter us from going! read more

I actually went here twice this weekend and was pleasantly surprised both times! I'm sad I hadn't visited HighGrain yet, but am glad to add it to be rec lists. I had the BBQ cauliflower appetizer on one day and the pulled pork BBQ sandwich on another day. Both were great! They also welcome dogs on the patio and brought around treats for them! That was great to see. I love this pleasant ridge brewery, and I'd recommend the Margo brew. So goood! read more

A hopping place! Always a pleasant experience dining at High Grain! Fantastic servers and great food!

Love this place. My favorite brewery to eat at. Food is always amazing. Love the seasonal variety and local sourcing.

This was our first time there. My son was in last week. It was his birthday today. The beer was tasty and great selection. Friendly and attentive service. We had the wings which were good, the Philly steak sandwich which was amazing, the Haddock which was excellent and the gordita crunch which was out of this world. We will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I went here tonight with our two young, daughters, 2 and 10 month old, and couldn't be happier. We have been here several times and we want to take the time to give this business a well deserved shout out. The food is always consistently delicious and above expectations. My 2 year old took down 2 whole pretzel sticks and cheese sauce. On top of that, the services is above and beyond. Everyone we encounter each and every time is welcoming, helpful, and attentive. We wanted to give a special shout out to our sever Ashley. She had several tables outside and was attentive and friendly with everyone! She as amazing. We are borderline regulars, but for sure adding this brewery as a weekly spot as the weather is warming up!! Cheers! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this little brewery! Very modern inside and overall cool upscale atmosphere without the stuffiness to go with it. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious, very juicy and tender. My fiancé said the bison hoagie was amazing! There wasn't much talking after the food was served which is always a good sign, everyone had good things to say. Definitely would recommend! Good food, good beer, good symposium. Could maybe use an extra TV or so for sports viewing or Olympic Games going on and maybe the frozen drinks a little less cold but those are small things. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and I must say that while they are a great addition to this area, the beer isn't drawing me back necessarily. There are so many breweries now in Cincy that I think you really need to do something to stand out, and I just don't get that with the beer selection here. The restaurant is great, and has great options for anyone in your party. If I am in the area I'll come back but I won't be going out of my way to get back here. read more

Great ambience and good food! Will be back for sure! New to the area and close to the house we are renting!

My husband and I have come here two Fridays in a row now. Highlights: great beer! Obviously. But what really sets them apart is the food. Best food I've had at a craft brewery in Cincinnati.

I wish I could share even ONE photo of our food but we were so hungry and ate it so fast and it was SO INCREDIBLE that I hardly came up for air. We met a couple of friends here on a Friday night for drinks and food. One person had been before and said the food was outstanding. SOLD! I can confirm that the food is outstanding, the service is great, and the beer is crisp and tasty. To eat... We shared Braised Steak Nachos (wowsa!) and Beer Cheese Pretzels. I did mention that we were hungry. So this took a bit of the bite out of our hunger. Both were tasty and worth ordering again. Next up, a few people ordered Steak Philly's and a few ordered Chicken Bahn Mi. Again, another home run. The Steak Philly was VERY SPICY so if you don't want spicy, you might ask them to hold the jalapeños or put the on the side. They're fresh jalapeños and HOT but it was worth it. I put the fire out with my ice cold beer. The chicken bahn mi was also very good and satisfied some missed cravings for Asian food. The tables were nicely spaced with clear barriers between sections. I felt safe and secure in my dining experience and all the guests observed the rules too (bonus!). We'll be back for sure. read more

I stumbled upon this brewery while driving down Montgomery and don't regret it! This is my favorite local microbrewery. The beers are excellent and always have a variety of new flavors.
