    CRÈME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST
    Kelly T.

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

    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.

    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.

    This place was busy and it was easy to see why! Loved everything. Our server, Maria, was on point and didn't miss a beat - despite how busy the place was. We are in town on business and will definitely eat here again. The food was amazing and the drinks were crafted. Everything was plated beautifully and it felt like extra care was given just to our orders. Amazing. And the GM - Mandy, was amazing as well. She was working just as hard as the staff under her. It has been a long time since I've had such great customer service.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cute local ice cream shop in an awesome location on Broadway! It's always popping and for good…read morereason- ice cream is great and the vibes are the same.

    Some aspects of Pendleton Parlor were on point and others left a little to be desired. First, it's…read morelocated in a really lovely part of Pendleton near a part of Broadway that's permanently closed for pedestrians and outdoor dining, so the ambiance is really nice. The inside of the shop is interesting, with knickknacks and things to look at in every corner- kids would love it for this reason! I immediately noticed that there were no prices on the menu... there were cups displayed on the counter with small/medium/large pricing but it wasn't clear what these cups were for- it looked like shakes. It was very off-putting for me to not know the prices of what I'm ordering, especially with more specialty items like cookie dough or coffee/ice cream creations where I can't predict a standard price. Second, there was only one dairy-free option... a cookies and cream ice cream. While it was tasty, it was my only option and that never feels great to order something because you have to. It also didn't have a description or any info available so I was left wondering what made it nondairy... almond? Coconut? Oil? Of course at a creamy whip type place I'm not going to expect the entire menu to accommodate me, but it's nice when there are at least a couple other options- especially with coffee, it would be easy to have a nondairy milk available or a sorbet/dole whip since they already carry many flavors. I tried a tiny bite of my husband's edible cookie dough and it was delicious! Seemed really sweet though- he could barely finish his side by side because it was so sugary--a good problem to have :)) I think I would go back if I had friends with me or happened to be in the area for Blink or the pool or something, but otherwise I would probably choose somewhere else where I have more options s and I know what I'm going to spend.
