Fish sandwich for
Erini N.

Yum Yum yum! Loved the fries and the sandwich! Definitely want to go back to try the cheeseburger. The place has a classic diner vibe, which I really appreciated, and all the service was delightful. Would def go back on the regular

Long time Nowood tradition Xavier Hotspot for burgers for over 50 years. Can't beet the 10 dollar lunch special. Each day is a different sandwich: cheeseburger, pork bbq or ham and cheese. You get fries and a drink either a can of pop or a draft beer. I had a light yingling.

Cheeseburger and fries.

This place is OK. My daughter and I stopped in for lunch yesterday during her workday lunch break. While busy and hard to find parking - we were able to order, eat and get out in the hour she has for lunch. My daughter ordered the Fish Sandwich, a side of fries and a soft drink. I ordered the Cheeseburger, side of fries and soft drink. My daughter said the fish was fresh, fried nicely and she thought it was ok. She said that it lacked any seasoning or flavor but was ok. I'm really surprised that this burger was voted best in Cincinnati, honestly. That must of been some time ago with different meat. The burger that I had, while still a little pink inside (the way I like them) was incredibly dry and flavorless. It was perfectly round and the consistency of a frozen patty and lacked any salt and pepper when it was cooked. It definitely was not the burger I was expecting when seeing the tag of 'Best' for it. All the toppings tasted fresh and the fries were good. The burger is just not that great. We'd stop back and try more of their menu. The service was friendly and quick.

My $10 cheeseburger, fries, and drink.

Our Y group went to Quatman's for lunch today. It is a no frills bar and cafe. Mondays special is burger, fry, and soda or draft beer for $10. The draft beer comes out in a frosted mug. The burger was great, and the shoestring fries, were hot and crispy. What wasn't no frills, was the service. The service was friendly and on point. The menu is limited, but with good food and great service. Give it a try.

The Cheeseburger Special - $10 for cheeseburger, fries, and a drink.

This was such a unique experience. The absolute lack of a vibe was an awesome vibe. No music playing caught me off guard at first but allowed for great conversation between friends. Good service and really good burgers. They don't skimp on portions, the burgers were juicy and the bacon was crispy. A classic cheeseburger. You can't go wrong with that and crispy fries. Quatman Cafe doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. They know who they are and don't try to be anything they're not. What a delight.

It's crazy to see that my last review was over ten years ago! While the price of the cheeseburger special has gone up (only by $2.50) and they've moved their location (just slightly) the food and experience is still the same no frills deliciousness. They have indoor and outdoor dining now and they let you order lettuce and tomato on your burger, but you still get your food on paper plate and the burger special still comes with fries and a drink of choice (including a beer if you want). The burger with onions and pickles is the way to go and it's delicious every time. I have never tried anything else here and I don't know if I ever will. It's exactly what I want and while I know people love the other items on the menu it's hard not to order the cheeseburger when I know it's perfection. If you've never been, they do have a parking lot along with street parking. The servers are friendly and helpful too. You'll see a lot of regulars here as well as families. This one of those old school, welcoming spots that feels like dining at a family member's place for a get together- especially now that they have the outdoor seating. It is no frills, but what they do they do well and at a great price. We stop by at least once every time we're in town.

A really good spot. Simple. Great burger. Great drink selection. Had a buzz about it ona Thursday at lunch time. Need more places like it

Started with the bean soup. It was Ok. The cheeseburger was very good. They were busy for a Tuesday afternoon.

Hudy light

This place has been here my whole life. It is consistent, delicious and cost effective . It's simple, you come in, you sit at the bar, you have a burger and an (always) ice cold mug of hudy. It really is that simple, but it is still one of the best burgers around. Specials for lunch almost every day. You just can't beat it.

Classic cheeseburger and fries from Quatman's

My friends and I stopped in here after bowling on a Saturday night, as we were in the mood for a good burger. We were not disappointed! It was quiet in Quatman's for a Saturday, so we were seated and ordered right away. We all went with the classic burger and fries option. My friend was a bit disappointed to learn that they have discontinued their onion rings, which she said was a true staple there for a really long time. When my cheeseburger came out, it was great! It was your classic burger; came with all the toppings I chose and was a nice thick size. There were plenty of fries on the side with it as well. It was kind of fun to see our food on disposable plates--made it feel as though we were at an outdoor summer BBQ down at a neighbor's house! It is also priced very well. I think my meal and drink in total were under $15, so it's good food for a good price! Would recommend it if you're in the Norwood area!

Burgers were so, so. French fries ok but the generic tasteless ketchup they had killed it. Stop at Wendy's instead.

They give you a can, enough bread (The bread is great), some olives, and a little bit of lemon to cut the fish tang. If you want a nice cafe with some canned fish this is a great place. All positive parts of this review are about the canned fish. My mocha was standard fair. It was ok. Not something to come back for. The place is really loud on a Saturday morning. Not an easy place to talk or hear anything. My kids... this is where the review really is. My kids eat out at places like this a lot. Their opinion on avocado toast is very well informed. The bread they were given was soggy and gross. Not something that was acceptable. There was so much mayo on these that you could have put them on the gill and fried them. Really gross. It was all over the avocado too. They hated it. I hated it. My kids were so unhappy with this toast that they went to the counter to ask for new bread. This place was more than happy to charge for a new slice of bread. Will not come back. There are other, better places.

This is is my first time coming to a Biggby Coffee. I was on an early morning "journey" on a…read moreSaturday, so I decided to drop in. It opens at 6am and I was here a little after that. John greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I came in. He explained the quite expensive latte and tea menu. There are so many delicious choices! Any drink that you order can be made hot or cold. Bix gave me my order with a smile. I ordered the Butter Bear Latte which is a caramel and butterscotch latte. It's sweet, but not overly so. I have a sweet tooth so I'm not the best to determine the sweetness level. You can make the latte to order so they can put less or more of the syrups in it. I also ordered the sausage and cheese bagel sandwich on an asiago bagel with cream cheese on both sides of the bagel. It was delicious. I was pleased with my meal. The decor is bright and inviting. There's lively music playing, but not too loud. Biggby is a great place to work and/or meet up with friends. There's plenty of spaces to sit. I would definitely come back and try more of their delicious lattes. Check out the menu. There are so many great choices.

Biggby coffee also doesn't donate to politics. The space is bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Great place to work outside of the home and grab a drink or light lunch. I love their ham and cheese sandwich's with an iced tea. They also have colds drinks inside like Diet Coke if coffee isn't your thing. Highly recommend this location!
