Best hamburger in Mason, there is no debating this. If you are looking for a casual, well-run, locally owned burger cafe, this is the place you should go!! Extremely casual (and that's a good thing!) burger place perfect for a quick lunch, or a family outing after work. Excellent place to bring "the hungry teenager" in your life, or your grandparents who know a good value when they see it. Did I mention the hamburgers are the best in Mason! Take your dad here for a cold beer and a cheeseburger. Outstanding value. A little bit of old-school charm. Covered patio also for summertime! HIGHLY recommend!! read more

This is an amazing burger joint. They do have other items such as fish sandwich and a Ruben. My husband and I usually go in the afternoon when the crowd is light. The food is always spot on. Reminds me of a little diners that we will go to when we were kids. The owner is cool people as well. Like I said there are thousands of burger joints all over but if you're in Mason, and you want to try a non-franchise burger joint that is amazing, give this place a try. The fish sandwich is good too! read more

Ordered the vegetable beef soup. Wasn't hungry enough for a burger. Soup showed up with no beef whatsoever. Told the waiter there's no beef in my soup. He said yeah we quit serving beef in the vegetable soup a long time ago. I have one suggestion for Quatman's. Mark out beef under vegetable beef soup if you discontinued putting beef in it. Slightly more than misleading. I switched to chili and it was good; spicy but good. read more

The fried fish was delish, although the bean soup needed more flavor. It would give this place 3 stars but because the service was so good and friendly I'm giving it that extra star. I would def come again. read more

Best burgers in town. And don't forget to try the mock turtle soup. It's to die for. The service is quick. Better to get here before 5:30 to avoid the crowd. read more

Came in for dinner tonight. It was busy, but we were told by friends who live in the area that it's usually busy around dinner. The food was pretty good, but the customer service was awful. A person in our party ordered a side salad with their burger, which is clearly on their menu, but the waitress told us they weren't making side salads, it was too busy. A different waitress told us that they don't do side salads anymore due to the price of lettuce going up. The waitress said it would cost $15 for a side salad with the price increase... there were no apologies and both waitresses were very rude. I would get take out from here, but I would not recommend dining in. read more

We were looking for a GOOD hearty burger and it was recommended we go here. I was hoping for a delicious burger like Zips or Chandlers, but this wasn't it. Sadly, we both left unsatisfied. The burger wasn't good. It was only ok and was very over cooked. I was surprised at how many people raved about this place because it completely missed the mark for us. The workers weren't friendly at all, and I normally adore little hole in the wall places that aren't fancy, but this one was kind of dirty inside. Big thumbs down for us. read more

I showed to the place early which was handy as they were packed. You can't really beat a cheeseburger, fries and a coke special. I let the waitresses know they were getting hammered by a 12 to 20 sized party coming in in about 20 mins and they literally welcomed the challenge. As the tables cleared they made room for all of us. The food hit the spot and since we have all eaten at both locations we pretty much knew what we wanted. Servers were awesome, including one with impressive balancing talents serving us nearly single handed in two trips. Would I recommend it? Heck yeah! Beats the franchises everyday, keeps it local, and I have told coworkers for years about it! read more

Nothing fancy here. Small sandwich menu with some sides and soups. Drinks are served in cans. I had the 8 dollar corned beef. It was very good. The onion rings were bad. The usual side is haltmans chips. My companion had the burger and a cup of soup. Both were very good. Soup was spicy as told. Plain tables not gourmet environment but gets a passing grade. read more

The burgers are great. The fries are great. They have a great patio if you want to use that.

We often forget about this restaurant even though it is right on the street corner with a large covered patio. The menu is basic. A selection of deli sandwiches soups, fries, chips and can soda. Not a place for surprises but basic done very well and affordable. Ham and cheese was loaded and hot. Fries done perfectly and attentive service was never far away. We sat at a table in small bar area. A small selection of reasonably priced drinks including some local beers. Nice relaxed inviting atmosphere. read more

I used to love this place. I went for lunch today and it seemed like they started using pre-made patties. Service was fantastic. Onion rings were great. Maybe I'm old but it seems like it was better a few years back. read more

Excellent cheeseburger. Cold beer and tasty, super yummy fries! When I'm in the mood for a burger, this is the place I'll go. The bar service and everyone else serving were super super nice. Yum yum yum. read more

Have been a fan of Quatman's for many years and when I moved to Mason, was happy to learn there was one here. Great food and very affordable. Love the frosty mugs they serve their draft beer in. read more

Great down home spot for a burger or sandwich. Also has a mini deli in the front where you can buy quality meats, cheeses and drinks. The burgers are great. They have value priced food specials of the day. There is ample parking in the back. Their service is friendly and efficient. I love the outside terrace where you can have a bit to eat and just relax in the shade and fresh air. Quatman's is always at the top of our list of places we like to go for a simple, casual and relaxing meal read more

Twelve of us went to the Mason location for lunch. Most had the burger special and all liked it. I had a hot ham and cheese, fries and it was nice. My wife had the fish sandwich and said it was good. Service was good. It wasn't expensive. All good . read more

Very good experience good food, good prices. Great environment, fast service. Will definitely go again.

I've seen the hype. "Really great cheeseburgers and a relaxed atmosphere." You Yelpers finally sucked me in with the near 5 stars.... Lets get real 'Nati, this is overhyped. Average burger at best. Reasonable prices and slow service (you all call it relaxed). Skip the Quatman unless you want to have a cafeteria burger with a pint of beer on the patio. read more

Had the cheeseburger special with fries and a drink for 6 or 7 dollars. Great deal, burger tasted good but was too fatty for my taste. If that doesn't bother you then I'd recommend checking it out. read more

A cute little cafe that seems like it's been there for a long time. They mainly serve deli sandwiches and hamburgers. Their deli meat is superb here..it's also available to buy by the pound at the front counter. I ordered the roast beef sandwich..and while the roast beef was seriously excellent..the bread they used for the sandwich just wasn't that good. If they would have used maybe two thick pieces of Italian bread it would've been amazing. I never understand places that cut corners with the bread or buns for their sandwiches..it literally can make or break the sandwich..no matter how excellent what's inside the sandwich is. My girlfriend had the chicken fingers..I had one and it was really good. I do want to try this place again..but I'll probably go for the chicken fingers or a hamburger. Might consider buying some of the deli meat here to take home and eat on better bread. The staff here was really nice. They seemed to really enjoy working there. read more

We ate lunch at the Mason location today and it was excellent. Food was great and service was timely.

The original Quatman Cafe opened their doors in Norwood in 1966 and is still in business today. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to try some of their food in the more recent Mason location. For some reason Mason seems to be the place for restaurants to open their second location, at least that is the case for Blue Ash Chili (which I reviewed earlier) and for Quatman Cafe. I'm totally cool with it though, as it gives me local, non-chain options when searching for lunch outside my office. Nothing special jumped out at me about the outside of the building. It was a rainy afternoon so I quickly parked my car in the rear lot and hustled inside. I used the side door closest to the parking lot, which put me toward the rear of the restaurant. I wasn't sure if I should seat myself and I couldn't find a sign anywhere indicating their protocol. Fortunately some other guests arrived through the front door and found their own table, so I went ahead and did the same thing. The inside of the cafe is fairly large and filled with tables and booths for all size parties. There is also a smaller bar area running the left side of the building, which didn't really seem to fit in the rest of the space. They do server alcohol though, so I guess it makes sense to have a bar. However the main room feels more like a traditional deli and sliced meats are sold by the pound in the back. A served was over to my table right after I had sat down. I asked for an iced tea while looking over the menu quickly. She reported that they had a few complaints about their tea earlier in the day. Since that was the case I gladly accepted the offered bottled tea instead. For lunch I decided to start with a bowl of their homemade bean and ham soup ($2.80) along with a chicken salad sandwich ($5.50). The bean and ham soup came out right away and was served very hot. I don't think I've ever had bean and ham soup before, but this will certainly not be the last time. Decent sized chunks of ham were mixed in with plenty of smaller shredded pieces. I really enjoyed the thick and hearty soup. While enjoying the soup my chicken salad sandwich was delivered. When my order was taken I was given my choice of white, wheat, or rye bread along with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Sandwiches are served with a side of Husman's potato chips. My first thought when the sandwich arrived was that it was a pretty good sized basket of food for less than $6. The chicken salad itself was very traditional but in a good way. The mix was mostly shredded chicken, but there were hints of pickle or celery thrown in. It tasted great and was very filling. On a future visit I think I would skip ordering both the soup and the sandwich for lunch, as it was a little more filling than I typically like my lunch to be. With that said both items were very good and are worth ordering for yourself. Quatman Cafe offers great food for an affordable price. read more

I love Mason, quiet and beautiful town. And I love it even more because now Quatman Cafe is there. I like it much better to drive up to North instead of going down to Hyde Park. I have had only their cheeseburgers but I think that's enough. The cheeseburger is simple and straight-up. There is no need for extra mayo, complex condiments, or other sauces. Of course they offer basic topping like tomato, pickles, onion, and lettuce. The patty is thick but not too thick. Of course I love Terry's Turf Club's burger, but sometimes I have to fight with the buns and patty to put them together in one bite. Quatman's patty is just enough for a full-bite - it's just perfect size with enough beef. The restaurant has great local feel, and the servers are always friednly. You can enjoy your burger and fries with relaxed atmoshpere. The place have ample space and good number of seats which I like about. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Monday and got the burger special. It was delicious and came with fries and a drink- draft beer included as your drink- all for only $8.50! Food came out hot and fast and the mock turtle soup was very good. Overall a great experience. read more

A true and honest American grub. Wonderful establishment. This restaurant truly highlights my favorite parts of living in the Midwest. I'm very new to Ohio and the team there provided a wonderful first impression to Mason. You can be casual, pay a reasonable price for tasty-hot-cared-for-grub! I loved that I could kick my boots up and drink an ice cold American lager with a double stack burger made the way I wanted it, no complaints here! read more

Don't get me wrong, the burgers are good. And cheap. But the booths are torn up and uncomfortable.

Delicious burgers, fish sandwiches and fries! Great soups, too! Love to eat inside and outside when the weather cooperates! The burgers are my favorite! The staff are friendly and it's a great place to eat in Mason! read more

Cheap and tasty. Not a restaurant that runs through my mind often but a pleasant departure from the normal stops. Good food, nothing spectacular--but if I'm hungry and in Mason I would stop in. read more

Quatman Cafe - Lunch time - Burgers Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Cincinnati's favorite burger! This is a nice hole in the wall restaurant that many Cincinnatians know about. They always have a daily special and most of the time it is a Cheeseburger, Fries and a Drink for $7.50. The drink can even be a draft beer! The restaurant is nothing fancy, it is some old booths and tables with some cloth picnic table covers. The service is always great and the food always comes out very quickly. If you are looking for a burger place that is cheap, quick and nothing fancy then this your place!! Yum!! read more

Great burger & fries! Workers are always friendly. Would give 5 stars but many times the other customers with their loud children make the trip less than inviting with the close proximity you are to other patrons. Again, especially the ones who are not controlling their screaming children. I highly recommend sitting in the bar section which has a wall to give you some more privacy & helps muffle the uncontrolled volume on the kids. They do a wonderful job of helping to support the local school too! read more

Quick, cheap, and delicious. Not sure there's a better combination. They did a great job expanding the outdoor seating.

Love their burgers and prices but no longer dog friendly outside plenty of other options to have a burger and fries with our pup! Too bad

This is the first time we've gone to Quatman's for a few years. The Norwood location looked like it had been renovated since our last visit. The staff was great and the specials were also awesome. We were there on a Saturday night and were able to score a Cheesebuger, Fries, and Drink (Domestic Drafts included!!!!) for only $7.50. Talk about a great deal for a delicious burger! The food was as good as we remember, and can't wait to go back for another visit! read more

My boss suggested I try this place and I'm glad I did. My husband and I have actually been twice now in two weeks. It's a simple little diner and you absolutely can't beat the price of the daily special. $7.50 or $8.00 will get you the special of the day with fries and either a beer or soda. Seriously! We each had the cheeseburger the first visit and the pulled BBQ the second visit. Both fantastic. The service is friendly and fast. Highly recommend read more

One of my favorite classic burgers in Cincinnati. If you're craving a cheeseburger, make sure to stop by, especially on Monday, Thursday, Saturday. You can get a loaded cheeseburger (with your choice of cheese, they have a small deli) with fries and a drink for $7 out the door! Drink choice even includes draft domestic beer! The hand-formed patties look to be about a half pound, and I always go for the habanero cheese. Feeling like bacon? It's only a buck and they load it up. The fries are crisp, and the meal is filling. read more
