    My husband got the pimento burger & fries, he loved it! I got the salmon Mediterranean bowl & I enjoyed it. We went at peak time so it was busy & honestly loved the vibe of the bar and decor. Service was still super quick :)

    I'm usually skeptical about restaurants that have a large menu and serve a variety of cuisines, but we did not have one bad dish out of our group of 5. The shrimp and grits were rich and flavorful. The fish and chips were fried well and delicious. No complaints about the service. Highly recommend!

    Street corn nachos (soooo good)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Very good service! Great food and coffee! Definitely recommend. Park in the garage and you can avoid any inclement weather.

    Fish and chips

    This is one of the best places if you want an excellent meal, great service and fun atmosphere! Prices are very reasonable and we love that local farm food is sourced. We have never had a bad meal there and our latest server, Nick, was fantastic.

    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.

    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.
