Great spot if you are looking for a classic burger and a beer! Parking lot can get pretty crazy (popular spot and doesn't really allow for a car to enter and exit at the same time). Burgers are great and it really gives cafe and dinner vibes. Service is quick and you pay at the counter when leaving. Bar spots for those just looking to grab a drink too! read more

Food was really just ok. Waitress had no idea what kind of beers they had because she "doesn't drink". Overall vibe outside was fine, very rundown inside. read more

Hard to believe it's been 47 years since the last time I had their original cheeseburger. It's a good burger and is reasonably priced. They're an institution in Norwood. Good size dining room and a bar to belly up to. They serve up daily specials and service with a smile. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Quatman Cafe - The Cheeseburger Special - $10 for cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. - Burgers Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

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. read more

Nice neighborhood family restaurant & affordable. Burgers & fries are good but stay away from the fish. I think they use Gorton's frozen or something similar. I can get that at home. read more

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. read more

For what it is, it's a great spot. I love that you can get a burger, fries and beer for just $10. Super budget friendly for a quick meal. Good bar seating. Friendly service. Was not blasting music which made it good for conversation. I live nearby and know this will be an easy spot when I'm out of food. read more

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! read more

Quatman Cafe - Classic cheeseburger and fries from Quatman's - Burgers Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

Generous parking, great patio, prompt service and great atmosphere! Seemed to have a lot of regulars there. That's always great to see! A friend of mine had heard about their mock turtle soup, a soup neither of us had ever heard of or tried before. We were intrigued and had to give it a go! I was thinking that the soup might be a little heartier but was runny and very sweet. But like I said, I have never had it before and have nothing else to compare it to. So overall, I thought the flavor was alright. It is a really nice place to frequent for a summer's day lunch! read more

Quatman Cafe - Mock turtle soup - Burgers Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

A Norwood staple and for a good reason. The burger is really good, with all of the fixings. The fries are thin and crispy, reminiscent of a McDonald's fry. I mean that as a compliment. The specials all seem really good. Had a fish sandwich and it was great. Drinks are nice and cold, nothing like a draft beer in a frosty mug. The prices, wow. Can't top that. The restaurant is super clean with lots of TVs for sports. Wait staff was quick and attentive. Loved this place and will frequent it. read more

Been coming here since the 80's. Love the cheeseburger special and the cozy down home feel

AMAZING burgers and fries at this little hole in the wall. Great place to hang out with friends and family and catch a Xavier game!

3 stars in 2018?! What was I thinking?! This place is a Norwood staple. I remember spending the night with my childhood friend and walking across the street to get her dad, Mr. Carmack, 2 cheeseburgers; came in a brown paper sack. They still do today. This place just feels like my Norwood childhood. The burgers are amazing. I NEVER order burgers when I'm out to eat but here, how can you not?!? If you're looking for diners and dives, you don't need Guy Fieri for this one. This is a MUST. read more

Burger fries and a drink (soda or draft beer) for $10! They do this special a few times a week and it's a bang for your buck, the food is DELICIOUS and fast! They give you your bill at your table and you walk up to pay, awesome you can leave whenever you want! read more

Quatman Cafe - $10 burger special - Burgers Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

When in Cincinnati we try to find some independent, classic, iconic neighborhood restaurants. Quatman Cafe fitthe bill. We were greeted upon arrival, daily special explained, and told that they're known for their cheeseburger...so of course that's what we ordered. A half pounder with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. Served with chips or $2.50 for upgrade to shoestring french fries. We also asked our waitress about another menu item, the "mock turtle soup", and she surprised us by dropping off a sample cup to try. Friendly place, great service, clientele looked like regulars! read more

So, I felt like this place was a little hyped up. I ordered the Ham & Cheese sandwich which was large and delicious! But I ordered a side of vegetable soup, and it tasted like it came right out of a can. Our server was nice, and it's clearly a spot for regulars! It's a nice down to earth type diner that doesn't have overpriced food, so I appreciated that. They also have a parking lot and outside seating. read more

I've been wanting to try Quatman's forever. Finally I made it to Norwood and had the time to stop by. Quatman's is rated to have one of the best burgers in Cincinnati. After my experience, I would have to agree. I had a cheeseburger. Everything was prepared fresh as you can immediately tell. From the beef to the veggies to the bun. Friendly service topped my visit. Unfortunately I couldn't enjoy a ice cold beer with the burger but the next time I come I will. I'll highly advise you on your visit to get the mock turtle soup...it's absolutely delicious! read more

Had the cheeseburger special last Saturday, it was delicious. Service was great and prices very reasonable.

This place is awesome. I was super surprised when we walked in and it was not busy! We got the chicken tenders and cheeseburger to split and two beers. Around $20 which is a great deal. Everything was delicious (esp. their honey mustard!) and came out hot and fresh. Service was great and definitely will be returning. read more

Didn't pick this place as the others I was with are local to the area said they have the best burgers. So we gave it a try and the burger wasn't bad, no different than any other burger joint. The homemade chili was excellent though, I liked that a lot. The sour cream and cheese made it all the more better. Service was great even when they were super busy with indoor and outdoor tables all full. They did have a weird item on the menu "Mock Turtle Soup" which I am not too sure what that is all about and was too scared to try it. :-) read more

I never knew this place existed in Norwood until some friends took me there. There claim to fame is a burger and fries. To be fair ir was good but not great and my soda came in a can. I think this place lives by word of mouth and the Ted Bundy phenomenon-"I scored 7 touchdowns and 700 rushing yards in one game in high school ". The next time you hear it, it will be 8 touchdowns etc... Same concept, good burger, someone says great and it rolls when in reality it is just that, a good burger not an "8th touchdown"touchdowns. read more

This is definitely one of those great local places. They have been doing it right since 1966! Thursday's special is their cheeseburger, fries & drink combo. Their burger is a nice thick piece of delicious beef, topped with lettuces, tomatoes, onions and pickles (if you're into that). I added the bacon to it, and was not disappointed. Fries are a little bigger than the steak n' shake ones. I also ordered a half bowl of chili, which was pretty good too, meaty and tasty. They have a few beers on tap, and all their pop is either in cans or bottles. I guess keeping with the old school theme they don't do refills. The staff and very friendly and happy to help. I've been to the one in Mason, which was good too, but to think this one is way better. Will have to make another trip down here read more

Quatman Cafe - Half bowl of chili - Burgers Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

Sometimes, you just want a simple all-American cheeseburger or deli sandwich, fast, and at a good price. Well, Quatman is definitely the place to get that fix. They do simple right and at a great price. My lady and I have been here a few times (especially since it's a mere six minute walk for us), and each time, we've really enjoyed it. The menu isn't huge but features all sorts of sandwiches from deli style to grilled and fried. Have 'em with shoestring fries, potato chips, or onion rings (caution, may be out currently due to an onion ring shortage). They also have great daily specials. They don't have a full bar but do offer a very nice selection of brews on tap and in bottles/cans. My lady and I went on a Friday recently when they had their fish sandwich on special (comes with fries and a drink or regular draft beer for $8.50). I had that with a pint of Westside Amber Ale (drink local ) while my lady had a cheeseburger and fries. Our order came out SUPER fast, in about ten minutes, even though the place was a bit busy. My fish sandwich was nice, crunchy, and flaky and paired very well with my beer. My lady definitely enjoyed her cheeseburger too. As for the price? We didn't even spend $20 for the whole meal. Can't beat that! Quatman does simplicity right! Just good all-American sandwiches served fast at great prices. It doesn't have to be extravagant and huge to be a good sandwich or burger. Absolutely worth the trip, and not just a six minute walk. read more

The only thing that isn't straight chill and kicked back out this place is parking (sometimes), and the local sports games on TV easily watched at the bar. They are not a craft beer bar, but they do offer a few drafts served in a frosted glass. What's better than a beer in a frosted glass with a $7.50 burger & fry combo. They offers a lunch special each day of the week, Thursday being my favorite. The burgers are made in-house and cooked still plump, offered with all the fixings. Casual dinning room, but it can game tight. Even if you go early (11:30) because everyone else was thinking the same. Oh, and they are an XU shop! read more

It was my first time coming to eat at Quatman's after years of passing by on my drive to work. I came with my two friends and we were very surprised in a good way. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the corned beef and it was excellent. I am picky about my deli meat and this was high quality. My one friend had the turkey and really liked it. The other had a ham sandwich and the bean soup and enjoyed his. For the price it is the best deal in town! Will return soon read more
