Ordered carry-out tonight and we both got the standard Milkman burger, which was great. But had to post because I was so disappointed with the onion rings. We paid $4.99 for a side of onion rings and opened the box when we got home to find 5 very average sized onion rings. While they weren't bad, they sure weren't anything special. We'll probably order from there again, but will skip the onion rings for sure! read more

Milkman - Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Milkman did not disappoint. We visited milkman for my son's 5th birthday because he loves cheese burgers . He loved the cheese burgers and also said they were very yummy . The staff was extremely thoughtful and knowledge about menu which was basic but had a lot of add on items to personalize your burger how ever you wanted. I decided on the classic deluxe as well as my husband it was great smash burgers that were very meaty and cooked just right , also we got onion rings and fries with their own special sauce that was tasty almost a barbecue sauce mixed with some chic fila sauce but was very tasty . ( not to mention they have boozy shakes that's I didn't try but will try not tike when I don't have my kiddos . Overall milkman was extremely good a place we will stop by again whenever we are in downtown Cincinnati. read more

Holy Saint Bernadette of the Yard Birds My son coerced me into a trip to Findlay Market. While in OTR he wanted to pop by Milkman for lunch. I tried the Club and HOLY WOW it was amazing. Snagged a couple of his fries. Also had a bomb new flavor of Liquid Death Five stars all around. read more

Cute modern diner! I feel like this is the grown up version of the long ago Johnny Rockets. The decor is refined, not cheesy. We placed our order at the counter, and our piping hot burgers were delivered to the table in about 10 minutes. Highlights included the fries, special sauce on the Milkman burger, and fry sauce. Bottled drinks are available from the cooler. I would love to see a fountain soft drink machine. The milkshakes! Wow! We stuck to non-boozy options for our first visit. They are smooth and creamy. Probably one of the best chocolate milkshakes I've ever had! read more

OMG! I took my family here last weekend and it was an amazing experience. My friend's daughter said she did not normally like burgers but the single patty was amazing! They were so busy and yet it was an amazing vibe before the women's match at the pitch a few blocks away. My children loved their burgers, fries and hot dog amidst a booming city vibe. Many thanks to my the entire team that was so smooth: Simon, Katie and Paul make it feel like we were guests in their kitchen. read more

Thankful for a diner in the neighborhood that has delicious milkshakes and vegetarian options! We have enjoyed the Oreo milkshake and pumpkin spice milkshake as well as tofu nuggets and crispy veggie chikn sandwich. The milkshakes are yummy and creamy with chunks of Oreo cookie (yum!) and the veggie options are crispy and flavorful. #ThankfulThursday read more

I had heard great things about the Milkman and since the place was packed when we grabbed our to-go order, I knew before I even tried the food I had made a good choice for dinner while in Cincinnati. My husband got a burger, fries and some nuggets; I ordered onion rings and nuggets. We both demolished our food, agreeing it was delicious. If you like standard American food like burgers, hot dogs, nuggets, fries, or onion rings, but want a better option than fast food, Milkman is a great restaurant. I definitely recommend stopping by. read more

I stopped in with my BFF for lunch, we each got a sandwich, we shared an order of chili cheese fries, and we each got a shake. I got the Thai chicken sandwich which was one of if not the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. My BFF got the Deluxe burger in a double that was super tasty in the one bite I got. The fries were very tasty and worth getting, very cheesy with a Cincinnati style chili on them. I got the cookies & Irish cream shake that was very good and loaded with Oreos. My BFF got the Espresso Martini which was my original plan, but wanted to try something different. The espresso was freaking super yummy. Don't get me wrong, my cookie was very good as well. I highly recommend you try this place out. We even asked if they thought of opening one in West Chester, if they do I may be broke. I would be here often. read more

Milkman chicken sandwich was super delicious! Light yet crunchy batter, yummy house sauce, fresh bun. Would order again! My daughter gulped her Oreo shake in no time so it's safe to say the regular shakes here are tasty. Priced a little high for a normal sized shake, unfortunately. My husband wasn't fond of his dairy-free shake but DF is a gamble to begin with. If I'm craving a good chicken sammie, Milkman will be on my mind. Clean aesthetic, nice people, give it a try! read more

$30 for a seltzer, burger and chili cheese fries. It was tasty please don't get me wrong. This is a similar experience you would get at Culver's . Walk up to the counter, place your order and sit down with your #. I felt like for the price and the location of the restaurant I'd probably not go back. I live clear up north so it's kind of a drive for me, and for the price I'd much prefer something other than a burger. The burger though was tasty, juicy and had a fair amount of toppings. My dinner companion wanted raw onion instead of cooked onion and she was told no. They didn't even say anything about an extra charge, just no. Guy looked at me weird got the no bun but I can't have c the wheat. Summary: good food, fast drive, expensive, you can't have it your way. read more

My group was heading to the brewery district for some drinks and decided to try this place due to its location and good reviews. We all had a great meal here. I personally tried their tofu nuggets, which were great. Definitely a solid vegetarian option. Their fries were amazing as well. They came out hot, salty, and tasty. My meal took longer than everyone else's, due to them having to freshly fry the tofu. This was no an issue, as it came out so hot that I had to let it cool. They also offer a vast selection of sodas and alcohol, which you can choose at your leisure. The rest of the group got hamburgers, which were great according to them. Overall it was a good dinner, though a tad expensive. We all would definitely come back though. read more

My BFF and I carved out an afternoon to enjoy a boozy milkshake and a meal!!! O. M. G. the Milkman did not disappoint!!! I drank the espresso martini milkshake! It was so delicious I'm not sure I'll be able to try a different flavor next time (and YES! There WILL be a next time!) I also ordered a double deluxe burger and shared an order of the chili cheese fries with my bestie. The burger was so fresh and delicious and made to order!!! The chili cheese fries are made with Cincinnati chili which gave the fries an extra special flavorful taste! The staff was incredible, too! So kind and friendly! Our wait person offered recommendations based on our preferences and everything we ordered was spot on perfect!!! The building is adorable; the interior is quaint and cute and clean!!! Even the bathrooms are clean and cute!!! I am so glad we were able to spend time downtown at the Milkman!!! We had A DAMN GOOD TIME!!!! read more

When my friends and I were looking for a place to eat, we decided on this place in big part bc we just loved the branding! I loved how they continued the theme throughout and it felt like a fresh take on and classic theme. The fries were absolutely delicious. The manager had told us they tried about 20 different varieties and they chose correctly. The burger Pattie's were well seasoned and smashed perfectly - the edges were nice and crispy without the burger being dry. The hot pepper jam was delicious but if you like spice it is not spicy (but again, it was delicious so it's okay). I tried a few of the slushies and went for the strawberry frose which was slightly sweet and super refreshing. I give this place 4 stars bc I felt like you really needed to have a double Patty in order to fully enjoy the burger, and an extra patty is half the price of the burger $4, which is kind of excessive. The patties are pretty small. I also feel like they needed to upgrade their ranch. read more

Dinner here this evening with friends. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. Milkshakes were fantastic! I had a classic strawberry and a friend had the chocolate-yum. Just the right thickness. The two others in our group had boozy ones - a Grasshopper and Oreo with bourbon, I think. Both said they were tasty and just right, nicely blended. They also had the hamburgers - which looked good and were declared tasty. I had the tofu bugs - good sized cubes, lightly breaded, creamy inside. The fourth in the group had the chicken nuggets. Fries were good as were the onion rings. Like the big booths. Very sleek looking. Will definitely go back. I hear a milkshake calling my name!. read more

I built my own burger and had an order of chili fries. The food at the establishment wont blow you away, but is a solid representation of classic diner food. The fries were a bit salty and I wished the bun was toasted. The establishment had a very upscale retro vibe with lots of decor. The service was great, They were quick to take my order and checked up on me after the food was sent out. It was clean and well maintained. I would return again whenever craving this type of food. read more

OMG this place was amazing! Hubby and I were in Cincinnati for a wedding last weekend, our first stop was Milkman. I had seen it on Yelp and thought it was a good spot for lunch. We landed and took an Uber straight there. We each ordered a burger and shared the damn hot chicken sandwich with fries. He went with the double deluxe and I chose the double Milkman. These burgers were phenomenal! So juicy and cheesy! Delicious bun, awesome pickles and excellent special sauce. Honestly, perfect in every way! The fries were very good as well. They were crispy and unique, great with the fry sauce. The damn hot chicken sandwich was delicious as well. Good heat level, tasty breading and the same awesome pickles. Everything tasted so fresh and really high quality. Hubby started eyeing the shake menu so we ended up ordering an Oreo shake to share. WOW, it was to die for! Maybe the best Oreo shake I've ever had. There was no shortage of Oreo pieces, so creamy and rich. Perfect size for 2 people to share. The service was top notch! We interacted with 3 employees, all were friendly. The 2 girls who took our orders were very kind and helpful. If we are ever back in the Cincinnati area, we will definitely be stopping by again! read more

Sat down for a quick business lunch- the food was awesome and the new ownership has done a great job. I'll definitely be back.

Rarely would I consider a 5 star review but this place met all of my expectations. I have been wanting to visit since they opened but never had the right moment until today. This shake in the photo is non- alcoholic but WOW! One of the best I've had! We both got a single and made our own burger and it was perfect . The fries and dipping sauce that accompanies them are also spectacular. It was crowded but not too packed when we went around 1:30 on a busy Saturday in downtown Cinti. Service is quick and polite. I can't wait to go back! read more

Best burgers in Cincinnati, affordable and great portion sizes!! Service was great and the place is very well kept with a great atmospher!

So this is coming from a person who thinks FIVE GUYS is the best burger in the world. I would say Milkman's burgers are OK. They're delicious and the patty is thin and crisp. However, it was veeeeery salty for me. I ordered a single burger with grilled onions, tomato and garlic herb mayo. It was good but something was just too salty for me. However, the inside is very clean and nice. Booths are huge and each table has napkin and ketchup placed. Restrooms are clean too. The service was nice as well! I wouldn't visit again because of how salty the burger was. However, if you're a milkshake lover and are looking for a reasonably priced burger in downtown Cincinnati, go for it! read more

I've had this place on my list to try for a long time. We went for dinner on Sunday. It was Flying Pig weekend, so maybe the staff was exhausted from a busy weekend, but we had a very mediocre experience. They reeled me in with a great social media presence, but did not deliver. Nothing was bad, but nothing was really good either. We had: Buffalo Tofu Sandwich - Seems overpriced for the portion. Very little sauce. Just blah. Looked nothing like the pictures I've seen. Deluxe Burger x 2 - Not the worst burger I've had. Pretty bland. Fries x 2 - Fine Onion Rings - Fine Oreo Shake- Best thing we had, but really no better than most Oreo shakes we've had. Service - Fine. The whole place just had a blah vibe which was unexpected. Everything was just. . . Fine. Overall we were disappointed. I really wanted to like this place, but there are so many places to go in OTR, so this is a one and done for us. read more

YUM. I've been twice, both during a weeknight and it was never super busy. Lots of seating. And super fast service. A great place to catch up with a friend! Though, there aren't any great places to sit if you come by yourself. Ive gotten a burger both times - it's a way better version of something you might get from a Steak 'n Shake kind of place. Both times I also got the chili cheese fries which are amazing (though a little salty). I am absolutely miserably full after eating both so I highly recommend sharing the fries. I'm a little less in love with having to choose a bottled beverage but it isn't a big deal. I am very much looking forward to trying the chicken. They have two unique sauces - both Mayo based, one mustardy and one ketchup (sorta like Canes sauce). read more

Not cheap, but an absolutely terrific burger! The fry sauce was also top notch. Fast service as well. The chicken nuggets are skippable. But such a great burger! I will return. read more

The vibes are delightful in here. I love that they offer any fried chicken sandwich with a fried tofu swap with no additional charge. Their fried tofu is GAS -- it has the crispiness of a Chickfila sandwich. I tried their Damn Hot with tofu and loved it -- very filling. Milkman burger: My friend said it was one of the best burgers she'd had in years. Dairy free milkshakes: The cookies and cream shake is decent, with tons of cookie crumbs, but the shakes do have a distinct soy taste to them and they're pretty expensive ($7). read more

This small restaurant has an adorable inside aesthetic with an old-fashioned diner feel and inclusive all-gender bathrooms. I ordered the Strawberry Daiquiri milkshake, which was soft serve despite the surrounding aesthetic (I expected hand scooped), but good nonetheless. The alcohol in the shake had a strong taste, so I was torn between swallowing it fast and enjoying the milkshake. I also ordered the tofu nuggets, which were good, but they were more like a blocked tofu dish than a nugget. The salad I ordered had a delicious smoked cheddar on top, which may have been my favorite thing I tasted here. The fries were crispy and were served with a fry sauce that tasted like a mixture of just ketchup and mayo. Overall, this is a great place for a unique meal but had a few kinks. read more

Classics burger and fries! Fun, clean, old school diner decor. Order at counter and food comes out fast.

I enjoyed the food, the chicken sandwich was delicious, the service and speed of food was great. There was actually so many more fries than it looks too i couldn't finish it all, but you do have to order it as a side $4 I'd for sure come back! They'd benefit from more seating because there was so many people coming in and the back seating was colddd Outdoor seating that is dog friendly, it was just raining when we came in read more

I have heard pretty good reviews about Milkman OTR and wanted to try it for myself. After I had experienced this place for myself, I only have 2 words: WORTH IT! Milkman OTR is a modern take on the classic diners from way back when, complete with digital overhead menu and a beautiful environment. Milkman also has outdoor/patio seating and an extensive selection of soft/hard drinks. The menu is fairly straightforward with decent descriptions, so you know exactly what you will be getting. I ordered the Milkman Deluxe (well done), with a double patty and an order of Fries to go. Some time passed and I was handed my food with a smile. From the first bite to the last, both the burger and fries had great flavor. I enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients on the burger and the fries were perfectly crisp. For the first time, in a LONG time, I was satisfied with what I had ordered. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys classic burger and fries. Milkman OTR, keep up the good work! read more
