Stopped by this restaurant on opening day. They had the door open so we went inside. We went to the bathroom and as we came at the bathroom one of the workers came out and said we shouldn't have came inside and he informed us that we weren't suppose to come in in the first place. It was very starling as we had came to use the bathroom and order food and we were greeted in that manner. I've never been confronted in that manner by someone for entering a restaurant when the door was open, showing that they were open. A really scary experience coming out of the bathroom. Be aware of this man.

Brisket Sandwich
Billy T.

Surprisingly quiet on a Saturday night, but that meant quick service for me! Went with the brisket sandwich and the Lucius Hot BBQ sauce paired with collard greens as my side. Food came out very quickly and was very good! The brisket was seasoned really well and I loved the sauce. It definitely wasn't hot though, but that's cool.

Smoked wings
Devena S.

Came for an event "The Cookout" and was not disappointed. The crowd was lively and the performers were on point! It was great mixed crowd of ages and races and I'm definitely going to stay on the lookout for other events here! Of course I had to sample the menu, and had a Long Island ice tea and smoked wings. All delicious.

Breakfast hash with smoked pulled pork, taters and eggs

This place... Was a hidden gem we found while in town on a "Staycation" even though it's 4 hour away but the food is OUT. OF. BOUNDS.! 2 words... COME. HERE. There was a line for a reason. We found it by accident while wandering around. Relaxed BBQ spot... come as you are. Staff was all cool & helpful.

The Carlson
Ann S.

De-Lucius! We loved everything we had at Lucius Q yesterday. Hubs chose this as his birthday lunch spot and we approve the choice! We started with shared smoked chicken nachos. Amazing. Then we had: Carlson sandwich, two orders of the Pitmaster including brisket, pulled pork and sausage meats -- all superb. And I had an order of the brisket chili fries, which I was forced to allow others to taste but didn't want to -- so good I didn't want to share. Sides were broccoli salad and macaroni and cheese - all devoured. Our server Jacob was friendly and attentive. We sat at an indoor picnic table in the warehouse-y space. Parked in the big lot in back. Overall a great experience and we'll easily be back for more.

Brisket Chili

One of my favorite places to eat around the casino. The drinks were great and so was the food. Staff was friendly and made me want to return in the future. I also loved the multiple levels and interior.

3way and a side of rib tips
Alan B.

We loved it. The 3way was great and rib tips were good too. The service was great and the bar was very nice. I will definitely be back. Saw the DDD video and wants to try it out.

I was just in Cincinnati for one night...just traveling through, really. During my travel preparation, I bookmarked this "DDD" location. My wife and I often eat at DDD locations, but we are often underwhelmed. This was not the case yesterday. I arrived about 3 o'clock to a practically empty restaurant, which worked out perfectly. My server, Jacob, got to take his time... talk about the show... And point out on the menu what Guy ate. I had what Guy had - the Pendleton Porker (with the jam on the side). Jacob is a cool dude. Wow! What a sandwich! At first, I didn't think I would be able to eat it all. Silly me! I thought it was great! The meat was tender and juicy, there was just the right amount of sauce, and the sandwich itself was not too messy and/or unmanageable. Lastly, the price point was right on; it did not leave me feeling "cheated". Let's just say I'm glad this restaurant is in Cincinnati, and not in San Antonio! I absolutely loved the atmosphere, too! The "garage door"/open air vibe was just the best. It was the perfect day to have the doors open... My only reason this is a four star review were the fries! French fries are one of my favorite things, and unfortunately, these came out overly salted and way too crispy. If I had stayed in Cincinnati one more day, though, you can guarantee I would be getting those fries another shot! I already told my wife Cincinnati needs to be on future trip radar...

Mac & Cheese  Collard Greens
Briana S.

Love that I was able to split the order of six wings and that I could get a bit of sauce on the side to try. The mild bbq didn't work well on the smoked wings imo and the dry rub seemed to have been simply sprinkled on top of the wings and not applied before they were cooked which I find confusing. The Mac and cheese was surprisingly pretty good but the greens were not. They supposedly had turkey in them and I swear I didn't taste a bit of it. The turkey sandwich was pretty good. I got it simply because I love smoked Gouda and the smoked turkey was a wise edition though I think the extras should be different. Unfortunately the restaurant has only bench seating (which I hate) and bar top seating (which I hate even more). The service was also nothing to write home about. I'd definitely eat here again but I'd carry out.

I had a work meeting at Lucius Q this week. When I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly. They were super kind and attentive during my whole visit. I got iced tea and the pulled pork nachos. They were okay, but I wouldn't get them again. I got my husband a Pendleton Porker (sandwich) to go. He ate it hours later and said it was one of the best sandwiches he has ever had. My business partner ordered wings and loaded chili fries, which both looked super good. I love the vibe of the dining room. It's open and spacious with two levels and a little stage. There is also a patio out back you can eat on.

beans - burnt tips and Cincinnati Chili! Chili used shredded beef instead of ground beef .. delicious
Jennifer A.

Delicious! Some of the best bbq I've had! Collared greens were fantastic and the cheesy corn was so good... I could have sat and ate their sides all day. The service was average. We had to wait a little longer than should have a few times as the waitress was chit chatting with the other workers... But everyone was friendly and since we weren't in a hurry didn't mind to much... If you are allergic to nuts the broccoli salad has some so be careful as it wasn't listed on the menu. The atmosphere was cute and perfect. We were on a business trip so we aren't locals but I sure wish I could go back!

The BBQ here is not good at all. Ownership does not care. Pulled pork sandwich was dry. How that's even possible is beyond me.

Blinkers Tavern

Blinkers Tavern

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.
