Perfection! If you want a burger go here. Fresh, fast and quick service. Loved the location, near the connector.

Awesome vibe, delicious grub, and great service. We stopped in after seeing a show at the transept around the corner. It has the whole old diner type vibe with phenomenal eats. Their beverage selection was superior with a ton of options but we settled for some boozy shakes which were amazing! We did a lot of food from there which included frys and fry sauce, burgers, Thai chicken sandwich, and chili cheese frys, also the boozy shakes are delicious and pack some punch. I would love to tell you I recommend something specific but it was all equally amazing in its own way. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed and we will for sure be back. For being a burger place their chicken sandwich was very well crafted and the perfect amount of crisp and flavor. read more

Best Smashburger in Cincy - they have their own unique sauce that is quite tasty and I absolutely love their pickles (I'm a stickler for good dill pickles & they have some excellent ones here). Great thick cut fries, with an excellent season but not too overdone. Do yourself a favor and stop by this place - and don't forget to try a shake! read more

Milkman - Milkman Sign - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I have been following Milkman pretty much since the Instagram page popped up so I was very excited to finally check it out! First things first-love the concept. When you go into Milkman, you order at the front counter, they give you a number, and you grab a seat. Once your food is ready, someone will run it out to your table. Great spot if you're looking for a quick dinner or a quick snack in between drinking. I started off with an espresso martini boozy milkshake which I loved! For my meal I decided to get the Thai chicken sandwich. The chicken was really good quality and the toppings had great flavor-the peanuts were a nice touch. I also got an order of chili cheese fries which were a good side to split. I did try the burgers which I thought were okay, but I wasn't blown away by them. Overall we had a good experience. The front of house staff seemed like they may need some support on the POS system/ordering, but that's to be expected with a newer spot! read more

Very nice old timey ascetics on a not your average burger joint. This is a nice adult beverage offering that you can still bring the family to kind of space. The location is in OTR and while it is great they don't take themselves too seriously. The staff was quick and helpful while offering the right suggestions to get you a quality meal. Street parking is plentiful around this location which is great and rare in OTR. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Top that burger. Don't come looking for a basic burger. This place give them to topped up. While some may consider the burgers small or scoff at the fact that they charger per topping, don't let that slow you down. Get your hearts desire on your burger and prepare your hands for a workout. 2) Not just a burger place. You could be forgiven for thinking that they only have burgers and fries and drinks here. Not so, their chicken sandwiches rival some of the best I have ever had and I must return to try their take on cheese coneys. Really explore the menu and find what new surprises are waiting for you. This place is by far a returnable spot for food and drinks. read more

By far the best burger and shake Ive ever had. Service is great and friendly. I was there before FCC opener game. It's great place and I love the theme that they have. I would say it's better than shake shack. I would 10/10 would recommend this place. VAMOS FCC read more

I have visited a few times for lunch. I think it's a pretty good option for what it is. The food is served fresh and the ingredients are high quality. It is served relatively promptly. I have found the order taking process to be a bit slow but acceptable. The fries are unremarkable. I would prefer fountain beverages but a good selection of cans. The prices are high but normal for downtown. Reliable. read more

We both got the cowboy and it was so good! The fries with the fry sauce were probably the best I've had in the area. Also their shakes are to die for. The service was amazing and the workers were super nice. It's in a nice part of OTR and has an overall good vibe. read more

Space is pretty tight, but lack of initial elbow room is more than offset by Milkman's efficient counter ordering process, much-appreciated booth seating, and vintage-cute aesthetic (think tiny 50's diner, sans waitresses and plastic ashtrays). Food delivery was quick, burgers were tasty, and my partner also thoroughly enjoyed his boozy milkshake. We'll be back, for sure! read more

Best onion rings I have had in a long time. Definitely a needle in the hay stack! Burger was great, as well.

Everything I've had here has been absolutely PHENOMENAL. Burgers, fries, shake. You can't miss. Atmosphere is old diner vibes with a good playlist and friendly quick service. The only draw back is the price. Single deluxe burger, boozy shake, and fries ran me $33 (including 20% tip) That being said, I highly enjoy the food and boozy bevs so I will occasionally treat myself to this spot. Fills the void in my soul that OTR Chili left. read more

Milkman - Espresso Martini Shake - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Decor is reminiscent of the 50's with an Elvis head and diner memorabilia. The burger, hot dog, and chicken options are plentiful with spicy options. I chose the Cowboy burger. While substitutions aren't available, having pickles or jalapeños held off the burger is fine. My take out order took a bit, but the restaurant was fairly busy. The milkshakes and slushes all appeared to be made with alcohol. The burger was tasty and worth repeating! read more

Very delicious! I had an order of 4 burgers and two fries delivered to my house and it was sooo good. The fry sauce is a must-have and the burgers were cooked perfectly. Nothing was missing or wrong on my order and this restaurant should definitely get more attention! read more

Best burger I've had in a while! Ordered back to back days while in CINCINNATI. DoorDash was quick and placing the order was easy.

Great burgers, great crust to them. Would come back next time in town and want a burger

Good smash burger and shake. It had the old timey diner look without the 50's vibe - I mean that in a good way. Good music, fries on point.

Been twice in two weeks. The fries are delicious and the chicken is some of the best I've ever had. The burger was good but a little dry. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Definitely going to be in my regular lunch rotation. Update tried the burger again but this time ate at the restaurant and it was better. Maybe carry out just didn't work the first time. read more

Milkman - Chicken nuggets, fries and fry sauce - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was a little hesitant to check this place out after reading some of the reviews, but I'm glad I stopped in. Their prices are a little steep (come on - these are just smash burgers!), but everything tasted delicious. I tried their boozy fall slushie, fries, and a double burger. The slushie was exactly what I wanted; smooth, a good amount of alcohol, and bursting with fall flavors. The burger was excellent and was honestly one of the better burgers I've had in a while. The fries tasted good, but were cold which was disappointing. I liked the vibe of the place and could definitely see myself coming back if they had somewhere to park for free. Unfortunately the cost of the food plus parking makes it difficult to justify coming back. read more

I finally had the opportunity to try Milkman after passing it numerous times in OTR and I truly wished I would have tried it sooner. Shortly after placing my order, the food was promptly brought out and I was able to enjoy a freshly made burger. Hands down one of THE BEST smashed burgers I've ever had. The fries were delicious especially when paired with Milkman's "fry sauce". I also tried one of their Boozy Slushies (Vito's Limoncello) which was perfectly refreshing after my walk around downtown and definitely lived up to the lemony taste I was hoping for. They also serve boozy shakes that I will have to partake in next time. The diner itself is modeled after the nostalgic 50s/60s diners which makes one feel right at home. Fun photos in unique frames are hung throughout the diner along with cozy booths that can easily sit a family of four but could also squeeze in about six. If that wasn't great enough, there is also outdoor seating along Race Street where you can admire the downtown location (unfortunately it was raining during my visit). Milkman will be my new go to recommendation for family/friends visiting Cincinnati! read more

How fun is this vintage diner burger shop? I ordered the Spicy Burger and was excited about the hot pepper jam that it was topped with. I was hoping that it would be quite a bit hotter than it was, but that is good news for those that get nervous about spicy food because you barely get a tingle. That being said i still enjoyed the flavor of it. My only regret is that i cheaped out and ordered a single patty instead of a double and i felt like my experience paid the price because by burger to bread ratio was totally off because of it, IKYK!! lol The Fries are the bomb!! the manager told me they experimented with 40 different variations beforee settling on the current recipe. They made the correct decision! Also, the margarite slushy is fire! can't wait to go back and try more things read more

Great burgers and outstanding shakes. I would recommend the restaurant to my family and friends.

So upon arrival. I was impressed with the decor it was like an old diner from back in the day but with a modern twist. So anyway I came here for the boozy shakes and was very excited to try it. I had a shake in mind and when I asked the staff which one was the best. She immediately said the one I wanted which was the cookies and Irish cream. I also ordered a deluxe cheeseburger and fries as well. We paid for our meal and sat in a booth. You pay first then sit down. So My shake came out first and I was impressed and it was thick like how I like a shake. The flavor was good and I loved it. It the right amount of sweetness and alcohol by the time my food came out I was kinda full from the shake but it was not long before My food came out and I hate to say that I was not impressed. The food came out lukewarm and not piping hot. I kinda don't understand why because thing are made to order. I hope they ain't making the Fries first and then cooking the burger.....I like my fries to be so hot to the point I can barely bite one it but I didn't complain or send it back. When I bite the burger it was just meh.. it wasn't Nasty but it was not that great either. I ordered this side of this garlic herb mayo for my burger which was very good but whole time I was thinking it would be good on another burger At another place I been to and that is not cool. So If someone asked me what's a good place to get a burger and fry I would not mention this place but If someone asked what's a good place to get milkshakes I would definitely say this place and I plan to come back to try other shake flavors. They get a A+ for the milkshake and a C in the food area. read more

Really loved this place! I was given a free milkshake (their dairy free chocolate is lovely!) so I decided to stay and buy lunch. I ordered their Milkman burger and it was good! The fries were excellent - it has that kind of old fashioned diner food with a modern vibe, and I really enjoyed it. The person who served me so was so nice and friendly, and I even got her name to mention it here, and I literally can't remember it now! You know who you are though :) Totally recommend checking it out and staying in to eat! read more

I sent this Message to them after the experience. They responded tamest they would get back to me after the weekend. That was 2 weeks ago. Save your money and go to the pony or nation or sacred beast. Premium pricing with lackluster service and food: My gf and I saw your spot and had to give it a go. The menu is fine and I was craving the Italian beef as soon as I read that it was on the menu. The burger was good. But Thats pretty much the end of the praise. That positive side runs off the cliff when you start charging 50 cents for every single topping, on top of the $10 double patty burger. You're already a dollar more expensive than 5 guys for the same(ish burger taste and volume) if I want to add even the normals of lettuce, onion, tomato it's $1.50 more. Fries were hot. But I expected hand cut given the price and stripped down idea of your place. Also a pretty comically small cup full. The Italian beef I received had a toasted bun but the meat was DRY and not at all warm. It made the sandwich difficult to eat. Good volume of the giardinera but the gravy ran right over the meat wad and through the bun with no saving the sandwich. I use portillos as a decent level for comparison to any Italian beef. Yours is what I'd expect out of subway, but there's would have at least been warm. To add insult to injury, our food took a decent amount of time to get to us but that wasn't really that big of a deal. The milkshakes came out after we were finished with the food. Legit had 5 fries left. The staff were shopping the milkshakes around to figure out who ordered or needed what. We have number flags on our table for that. Even worse I had to ask for the second shake a few more times while we both split the first one. I was $50+ plus in to a very disappointing experience. Both food and service. read more

10/10 great burger experience. Smash burger was executed to perfection with a nice sear and crispy edges. Well seasoned. Had the deluxe burger, fries, onion rings, and a chocolate-Oreo-butterfinger shake. Everything was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Nice clean dining area and booth seating. Was giving modern Seinfeld vibes. read more

Everything had so much flavor. Better than I could've ever expected. Chicken parm sandwich with fries & a milkshake. Everything was amazing.

This is a KILLER stop in OTR for great burgers, fries, shakes, and service. Smash burgers are juicy and flavorful. Fries are crispy yet creamy inside. Shakes are crazy good. Scarfed our food too fast to get a pic, but snapped my coconut shake on the drive home. Didn't sample any boozy offerings, but love that they offer boozy shakes and slushies and a variety of adult bevs in their refrigerated case. 10/10 read more

Milkman - Coconut shake. - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Nice, fun new place where the Revolution rotisserie chicken place used to be on Race in OTR. Diagonally across from Washington Park. It is designed to look like a diner from yesteryear. Same kinds of color schemes and nostalgia, like pictures of Elvis and JFK. It's pretty much all booths for inside seating. As I was alone, I would have liked to sit at a counter, as to not occupy an entire booth, but there were no bar stools at the counter. There was a high-top counter, and it was set up with napkin dispensers, ketchup bottles, salt/pepper, but I'm not going to stand there to eat, sorry. Booth for me! I got a Double Deluxe(pictured) and Fries. You can order your burgers with 1, 2, or 3 smash patties. They are seasoned some, but I wouldn't say overly-so. Some places are afraid to compliment the meat with any seasoning, I like a little additional flavor usually. Fries were fries. Other menu items I didn't try were crispy chicken sandwiches of different styles, like Thai and Buffalo, I believe. They have bacon wrapped hot dogs, Italian Beef sandwiches too. I didn't try any boozy shakes or daiquiris or frozen drinks, but they have those too. I think it's a good fit for the area. Order at the counter, take a number and they bring out your food pretty quickly. Luckily they weren't playing old do-wop oldies over the speakers!! Some places try to keep with a theme so strictly that they pull that kind of crap, but not here. They just had current-ish straight-forward rock, and it wasn't blaring either, also nice. Anyhoo, I'm tired of typing, so if you just want simple, decent burger and shake, boozy or not, this is a good place to start. read more

First time in Cincinnati and I wanted a good burger. Plus I saw they have milkshakes so it was an immediate yes for me! The burgers were great and the fries were yummy and fresh! We'll probably return before we leave the city lol. read more

went there with a friend for the first today and everything was amazing i was especially surprised by the fast service.

First off I absolutely love the fact this location has lactose-free options. Lactose intolerance has been a burden on me for years so the accessibility to a super good(and alcoholic?!) milkshake made me very happy. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of options on the menu, so I went with the burger, fries, and chicken tenders -- the tenders being my favorite! They even have tofu options for those needing accommodations which is not seen a lot in food places similar to this which is a total bonus! This place is an experience and a perfect first stop (or last) for a night out on the town! Highly recommend! read more
