    Street corn nachos (soooo good)
    Erin E.

    Pro tip- you can call them and make a reservation! They don't take them online (at the time of this review). Plenty of free parking in nearby garages. Came on a busy Friday night and had a reservation. They were slammed and couldn't sit us for 25 min. They ended up giving us a free starter of our choice for the wait. So nice of them. We all loved our food and the service was great. Their food has great flavor! Fun spot.

    Made a reservation late afternoon for the same day. Definitely recommend a reservation, particularly on a weekend. The place was very busy and even with the reservation we had a wait. It was also pretty loud but we were seated behind the bar where it was much quieter. We enjoyed the tuna bowl and twin filets as well as a couple desserts. Food was pretty good and we'd definitely by this spot again. Our server was responsive helpful.

    BOMB DOT COM! This place had a great vibe to it. The food was delicious and the service was great. I ordered the cinnabuiscuits (I believe that's what they were) which were good but a little dry. I should've asked for butter. That would've fixed it lol. The eggplant dish that was tomato based w/ some type of curry smell was good. I also tried the shrimp and grits that were bomb AF, chicken and waffles were super tender just needed a little more syrup for the waffles, and crème brûlée French toast and were phenomenal too. If you haven't been to this place, this should be your next stop for brunch!

    I came here with my best friend, we parked on the street, walked in and was greeted immediately. We were seated. Reviewed the menu and then I asked for a recommendation which I ordered. The biscuits and the blackened shrimp. The food was wonderful and the service was very good. The places is extremely clean and inviting. I enjoyed the food and of course the coffee I ordered to drink. I will say this is restaurant is a very pleasant surprise and I will be back. My friend lives near by so I am sure this will be a new place to eat. Highly recommend.

    The food is absolutely delicious. Lots of variety and everything is fresh and customizable... service is good and the feel is pretty welcoming. Been there a couple of times and never felt rushed or like we were inconveniencing them. It's nice and cozy!

    One of My Favorite Spots in Cincinnati! The Kitchen Social is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Cincinnati. I recently took my coworker there for lunch, and she loved it just as much as I do! The food is consistently amazing--especially the salads and sandwiches. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The flavors are spot-on, and the whole vibe is just so enjoyable. Not to forget the staff--always friendly, attentive, and accommodating. They truly add to the great atmosphere and overall experience.

    We have been trying to go to Kitchen Social for a while. Not knowing the hours, we've always shown up too early in the week for lunch. They are only open after 3:00 on Mondays - Wednesdays. We were meeting a friend for lunch. Due to rescheduling a couple times, we ended up meeting on a Thursday. We took the opportunity to check out Kitchen Social. On Thursdays (and Fridays/Saturdays) they open at 11:00. We all arrived separately, but nearly together a bit before 11:00. Even though it was chilly, we decided to wait outside until the doors opened. Someone came to the door and welcomed us in early, which was very much appreciated. Our server was fantastic. We asked for recommendations and we followed them to a tee! Her help was appreciated because the menu has a lot of options. Two of us ordered the MEDITERRANEAN SALMON - Sixty South salmon, shaved vegetables, dukkah, feta, herb tahini, traditional hummus, lemon vinaigrette. It was delicious and it was a lot of food. The hummus was an interesting addition to the meal. It was great. Mark had the BLACKENED CHICKEN Sandwich - Avocado puree, chipotle crema, heirloom tomato, multi-grain toast with a side salad. He very much enjoyed his sandwich. We were a bit full, but opted to share a dessert. The Banana Caramel Cake w/ cinnamon cream and cinnamon crunch was fantastic and perfect to share. I'll admit I could eat the whole dessert, but I'm glad we shared. I'm so happy we finally made it to Kitchen Social. Oh.. we were the first customers at 11:00. By the time we left every table was full. We didn't expect to need reservations given we were there when the doors opened, but I recommend making reservations nonetheless. Kitchen Social is a busy place for lunch.

    Great place! The atmosphere is very laid back and allows for you to relax while having a great meal. The menu is full of options and has anything you could want. The appetizers were fantastic as well. The service was quick, nice and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. This is a great spot in the Montgomery area and definitely a place worth trying out.

    I couldn't wait!

    I can't enough of this burger! I literally have dreams about it! Service is always impeccable! The manager is so pleasant, busy but stopped to take a picture of our group! The open atmosphere is always a vibe!

    Kitchen Social is a great spot to enjoy a quick meal or have a drink. They have a social hour in their bar and high top area from 3 to 6 PM on Mondays through Fridays. During this time, you can take advantage of discounted starters, pizza, cocktails, and beers. I've had the pizza a few times, and it's always delicious. My most recent visit, I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, which was fresh, hot, and juicy. The Peach Bourbon smash, was strong but refreshing. Kitchen Social is definitely a must try, if you're in the area.

    The food was delicious and tasty. The service was fast, amicable, and overall excellent. The ambiance is cool, relaxed, and vibrant. I would highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a good vibe this is the spot.

    Fish and chips

    We went to dinner later at night so we were able to get seated right away but the place still was packed. Our waitress was nice and we got our drinks and food very quickly. The sangria I got was super sweet but overall good. My husband got a Buffalo Trace old fashioned and enjoyed it. I also tried the blackberry cooler and it just tasted like vodka so I would not recommend that. Now onto the food. We started with the cheddar and scallions biscuits and the butter made these biscuits but they were also super moist and delicious. For dinner I got the fish and chips and the breading and the fish were fabulous. I enjoyed my meal throughly but my mom didn't really care for her Shrimp tempura bowl, the rice was cold that came with it but she did like the corn. Overall not a bad restaurant but it would be a 50/50 toss up if I come again.

    Thai Chicken Bowl - 
 Spicy!
    Kim S.

    With 5 locations, we wondered if Kitchen Social would feel like a chain but it didn't. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there. We met for an early dinner at 5pm so got seated right away but it wasn't long after people were waiting. We had to start with the biscuits we had heard so much about and they didn't disappoint! Since we were a table of 4, we also got the whipped ricotta app, which was very good as well but if only ordering one, definitely stick with the biscuits! We got four entrees and everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. My Thai Chicken Bowl was pretty darn spicy, so if you don't like spice maybe order something else. Our server did a great job. Food came out quickly, almost too quickly in my opinion but this is a place that turns over tables often. Three single use restrooms that were very clean.

    Are your eggplant meatballs vegetarian?

    Yes. Vegetarian, but there is a little bit of parmesan cheese in the arugula pesto that goes on top so they are not vegan. Lastly, they are delicious.

    I've been to Blinkers Tavern many times, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is incredibly…read morerelaxing, with a nostalgic, throwback vibe that takes you back to a simpler time. The food is outstanding across the board--from the steaks to the cheese sticks--but the real star is their bread pudding. It's absolutely worth the trip from anywhere in the tri-state area. Parking is also easy and convenient, with a garage right across the street, as well as their own lot and additional street parking. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal and an even better experience.

    First time visit to Blinkers Tavern at lunch time on a week day. The interior has a cool vibe-…read morerelatively small space, but quite a few tables outside (warm weather on an early March day) that were all occupied. They have a charming patio at the back of the interior space as well. I didn't realize they have their own lot, but in case it's full, there is plenty of street parking nearby. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and kept drink refills flowing. We ordered the pretzel and beer cheese and the poutine for starters. The pretzel was huge and tasty. I didn't care for the beer cheese, probably because I was expecting a more solid cheese product. I would describe this more as a cream sauce. It didn't seem to have much cheese in it and was very 'liquidy'. Also the ramekin was only half full. If it had tasted better, I would have asked for more, but as it was not, we didn't even finish what was given. I thought it was a bit pricey at $12.95 for one large pretzel. On the other hand, the poutine was fantastic! A very unique take on the dish with a mix of cheese curds (although they reminded me more of pieces of mozzarella sticks), french fries and Andouille cream gravy. I ordered the fish tacos which consisted of Blackened Salmon, Thai Chili Sauce, Black Bean Corn Salsa, Pico de Gallo. My order came with two and they were fantastic! Since Blinkers is known for steaks, I will have to give them another try at dinner time.
