Had a wonderful time at brunch today! It was my first time at Sacred Beast and I'll definitely be back! They had a nice heated tent, well spaced out tables...let alone amazing food and drinks! Allison did a great job as our server! We were perfectly comfortable on a damp chilly day. We shared the fries with lobster gravy (well actually two orders) I had the French omelette (Piquillo Peppers & Goat chees and holy eggs it was big and so amazingly good!!!) with the side salad. The chocolate pudding was amazing...even though I didn't have room! I ate it anyhow because you always have room for pudding! The Pain Killer (Pineapple, Orange, Coconut, Rum) was so good...and finished off with the Limoncello! I got a bite of the Chicken Parmesan...and that's definitely on my list when I go back! Let's not forget the Matzah Ball soup! read more

Great new place in OTR. I spend a ton of time in OTR and had no idea his place existed! It is in a bit of a sketchier part of OTR right in front of the Kroger, but this place upscales the area with the interior setup and atmosphere. Not to mention, there is outdoor seating (limited) for those sun filled days. The bar area is really nice and bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. I found my been favorite gin at this bar through the bartender. Drinks are definitely on the more expensive side. The staff is also super friendly, but service is slow at times. The food could be better. The menu is limited, especially if you're a vegetarian like some of my friends, and the food is your typical diner-type food. I had tried the Diner breakfast and fries. You don't get much food and here wasn't anything really special about the meal. The pork belly was delicious, but not really filling. The house-made sauce for fries was yummy but a bit too runny as a dipping sauce. My friend got the shrimp fries which I tried and it was literally shrimp in a gravy over fries. I did like the uniqueness of this though. Hopefully, over time the menu gets a bit better and unique. Overall, nice to have a new upscale place to hang out at in the area especially when all the usual places are packed. There is usually a wait for outdoor seating (about 30 minutes) but the bar area is usually open. I find myself coming here to start for a drink and use as a meeting spot to then make our way down Vine street for food. read more

I finally made it to Sacred Beast and it did not disappoint! My husband and I had a fantastic lunch here yesterday. My husband ordered a beer and I decided to have the Bloody Mary after our server told us it's really good and quite popular. The Bloody Mary is one of the best I've had. The house made mix had just the right amount of kick. My husband picked the Pork Rinds & Shishito Peppers for our appetizer. The pork rinds were crackling when they came to the table! There's a bit of spice to them and a nice crunch. The peppers have a nice char and were really good too. For our entrees we both ordered the Steak Tartare and thought it was terrific. The fries served with it adds a little salty crunch. I really enjoyed the pickled egg yolk on top and the manchego cheese mixed in the steak tartare. Before we left my husband ordered an Expresso. He said it was really tasty. Our server, Stephen, provided excellent service. We will definitely return! read more

I have an adult son with autism that has special diet requests. The waitress did an amazing job with him and everyone was so sensitive to his needs. The fact that the food was amazing, compelled me to write my first review ever. Great restaurant and even better staff read more

Decadent. The one word I would use to describe this place is definitely decadent. It's such an anomaly because it presents itself as a "diner", but instead appears more like a chic NYC eatery. Touting a comprehensive cocktail menu but limited food offering, this place just keeps you guessing. Everything I tried however, was incredible. I HIGHLY recommend the blueberry muffin (this is not Duncan Hines) and the burger and fries got an A+ from my dining partner. Can't wait to spend more time here before it gets overly OTR crowded. read more

Went for lunch and the atmosphere and service were great! Our group got a variety of things including: the goetta breakfast, "dirty French" sandwich, and the cheeseburger. All were delicious and we will definitely be going back! read more

I have trouble spending more than $10 on breakfast because it's typically the easiest meal to make and often the cheapest. However, the Diner Breakfast at Sacred Beast is well worth the $15. The soft scrambled eggs are almost cheesy like, the pork belly perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the lemon ricotta pancakes fluffy and delicious. I love this take on a classic breakfast. Give it a try! read more

I've been here multiple times and it just keeps getting better. They have a smaller menu right now I'm guessing due to the virus but food it on point. I got the Dirty French and is the most amazing burger. Probably my new favorite. The gravy is so delicious. Fries are just ok but bread pudding French toast is on point too. Definitely recommend! read more

The owner sat us and everyone that worked there was professional, kind, and welcoming. The beer selection was extensive and had something for everyone. I really appreciated the all day breakfast- which is what we got. I had the diner breakfast with delicious pork belly, extremely fresh and soft eggs, and the best lemon ricotta pancakes I've ever had. The maple syrup was definitely 100% pure. My better half had the bread pudding French toast with fresh maple cream and it was to die for. I hope to see this restaurant in Las Vegas soon. read more

Great ambiance. Quick seating and the server was polite . Since it was close to closing;I ordered the lobster fries with cheese curds . The fries were great . Cheese curds were bland and that "lobster gravy" is just grease or just that minimum that you can't taste it . The watermelon lemonade was great ! read more

This place is fantastic! Must try the hash browns with kimchi ketchup. The bread pudding French toast was really good. The whip cream was a perfect fit for the dish. The White Russian would keep Lebowski away from the bowling alley as it was the best I've had. Not sure what they did but if I guessed they used the whip cream from the French toast. The dude abides! The vibe is killer with a reel to reel player and badass speakers. If I lived in Cinci it would be my go to spot. read more

Nice ambiance and location. Interesting menu with options for everyone. We had lemon ricotta pancakes and one big ass meatball! Delicious

Stopped in because of what I've seen in yelp and the sign for the pb&j shot caught my eye. Shots were good and left that satisfied feeling of the last bite of the classic sandwich. They also goofed and brought us the wrong drink order and they let us keep them. Next was the deviled eggs. Cool interpretation, pork rinds on top was awesome. Dirty French was tasty, feel burger quality could've been better. Fries were better than the hash browns. Service was good, vibe was great read more

What unique and creative menu! The numerous goetta options, giving you an excellent intro into a uniquely Cincinnati dish. The lobster gravy poutine w their hand cut fries are freaking crazy delicious. The Deviled Egg are simply devilish- traditional w a sassy twist! The big ass meatball was literally a big ass delicious meatball! The Jump the Wall cocktail is awesome- bourbon, mezcal agave and orange bitters want added PBR! The dirty cheeseburger looked killer- but let's be honest, you can only eat so much before you embarrass your wife and kids and really freak out the waitress. The kitchen and wait team were really on their game. read more

Fine dining meets your local diner. Sacred Beast continues to be one of my favorite establishments within OTR. The restaurant is operated by chefs who came from high end establishments that wanted to bring the same concepts to a diner like environment. On the same menu you will find cheeseburgers and fouie gra. The interior is contemporary and upscale, yet it still feels like your local diner with the big sofa bench seating and music playing in the background. The food itself is exceptional and service is on point. During the course of the meal, the manager personally delivered many dishes and consistently was inquiring about the meal experience. After trying numerous selections on the menu, my favorites by far have to the the cheeseburger, deviled eggs, and the ribs. The cheeseburger is cooked perfectly with great flavor. The ribs are seasoned well and are fall of the bone tender. We also ordered a side of green beers which was prepared well. I used to also love the kimchi cod, however I don't think it's available anymore. The restaurant also provides a significant drink offering from draft craft beer selections, to many bourbons, and cocktails. I also appreciate the fact you can put in a reservation ahead of time as compared to many OTR establishments. I'm looking forward to seeing what this group is able to invent next as they redefine the casual diner experience. read more

Came here with girlfriends and split appetizers and salads and had drinks. Great experience and can't wait to come back for dinner and explore the menu. Loved the service. I had the wedge salad and my friend split the veggie salad. Would recommend both! Pork rinds were awesome; deviled eggs were awesome. All around great. read more

Food was not great! Not attentive to customer staff runs off never to be seen again lol...

Sacred Beast puts a very interesting spin on traditional diner food. It's even got the whole diner vibe but a much more upscale version of it. All of the staff is super friendly and make you feel very welcome. The space itself is quite large but gets pretty busy during dinner time. I made a reservation for an early-ish Wednesday night dinner. Didn't really need it but doesn't hurt either. I had such a hard time deciding what to order. Ultimately it came down to a choice between the Steak Tartare Fries and the Lobster Gravy Fries. The Steak Tartare won over. Overall, I feel like it was a good choice but I was hoping the the steak and fries would somehow be incorporated together, not just having the fries on the side. But it was still delicious nonetheless. Also asked for some of the kimchi ketchup on the side (thanks to another Yelper's recommendation) - good call! The Watermelon Salad is also a great seasonal choice. It's nice and tangy with a tiny bit of spicy kick; very unique. read more

I had been to Sacred Beast a few time for brunch, but this was my first dinner experience. We made a reservation for 9 and we're seated upon arrival. The service was great! Our drinks came out quickly. What I was really impressed with was time time it took our food to come out. With a party of 9 - and a typically busy restaurant for a Saturday-it did not take long for our food to come out at all! Everyone was really pleased with their meals. I had the Mahi Reuben. The quality of the fish was great! Cannot wait to go back again read more

What a first impression to OTR! We had finished at the mall and every recommendation we were given led us to this destination. It was a warm, sunny beautiful day..so this was just the icing. Not only were the bartenders awesome, funny, entertaining and easy on the eyes. They made sure we were very well taken care of. We ordered: Bread Pudding French Toast - melts in your mouth Chilli Crunch Chicken - the most odd well balanced combination Watermelon Lemonade Double Shot Espresso Only downside is this place can get a little loud and the que to the banos can be a long wait. Loved the open kitchen concept! If you can't get a reservation enjoy a seat at the bar. You will enjoy a delectable meal. read more

Amazing flavors! I get overwhelmed with choosing food items lately. When I go out to eat I let the server choose my meal. I like everything. It's always a surprise and I love it. My server was friendly and chose a great meal! Tons of flavor!! I got a sandwich, it was fish, with a twist of Reuben! Phenomenal. I can't remember what it was called. I just know it's delicious. Fresh pork rinds. Go try it. read more

Sacred Beast is a great place to go if you are looking for a unique dinner. Their menu has a great variety of unique options. If you are a fan of breakfast, it is definitely worth checking out! I ordered the classic diner breakfast, the only change I made is I subbed in the hash browns in place of the eggs. The lemon ricotta pancakes are delectably sweet and the texture of the pancakes is light and fluffy. The pork belly was cooked to a crispy perfection, giving it a lovely flavor. The hash browns were different than I had expected, cut into large cubes, but they were delicious, especially when dipped in the mornay sauce that comes with their french fries. My boyfriend ordered "The Dirty French" burger which was loaded with cheese and sauce. It had a very rich and heavy flavor. We ended our meal with espresso martinis which were made perfectly! read more

WOW! This place was delicious for a late Labor Day brunch with the grown kids and their significant others (group of 6). They were quite busy around lunch time, but we were able to make a reservation so didn't have to wait long for our table. Even though they were busy, our service was quite good and attentive. The chicken neck gravy and hash browns were delicious - very tasty gravy and sauce with big pulled/cut-up pieces of chicken and nice big cubes of roasted potatoes (their hash browns are really roasted potatoes) and the lemon ricotta pancakes were really great. read more

Don't get me wrong with the four stars. The only reason I am giving the four stars is because of the pricing. I am a Bloody Mary fanatic!!! I will say the Bloody was probably one of the best I have had. The only disappointment was it was in a small glass filled with a lot of ice, pickle, and was $11.00. I ordered a simple brunch, scrambled eggs, goetta and potatoes ($13.00). Not terrible but probably also one of the cheapest brunch items on the menu. I'll be back and hopefully those Bloody Mary's are larger, please and thank you! read more

Had a great dinner at Sacred Beast. We'd made a reservation and they were ready to seat us on arrival, which is unfortunately rare (and very appreciated). Staff were all friendly and helpful. Cool atmosphere with good music. I saw a lot of delicious looking drinks coming out, but we weren't drinking so I can only assume they were as good as they looked. Everyone else in my party got the Dirty French burger, I got the Blackened Mahi Reuben, and we split a couple orders of fries. The fries were delicious (as was the sauce they served them with). My sandwich was quite good. And the Dirty French was amazing. Next time I'm in OtR, I know exactly where I'll be eating, and exactly what I'll be ordering. read more

Hosted a meet up group here and before I even talk about the menu, I just want to say that the service was amazing! There were 11 of us and no one had an empty coffee cup, or glass of water. Ordering cocktails was a breeze. No issues there. The Bloody Mary was good. A little sweet, but nothing a little tabasco couldn't fix. I also really liked the decor, and it was nice & bright with the big windows and really welcoming. I ordered the Diner Breakfast, which included Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Maple Glazed Pork Belly, Eggs, and Confit Tomato. It was delicious! The pork belly was cooked just right. Slightly charred, but not overdone. And the pancakes weren't overwhelming with lemon flavor. The eggs were good, but I was way too into the pork belly and pancakes to really notice. Overall, it was such a great experience and I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

A quick shuffle down Vine street on a Saturday afternoon when the cold breeze got a bit too much, so decided to take refuge in Sacred beast. It was kinda busy for mid afternoon which is a good sign. They had a good drink selection and being a pseudo diner they had all the usual coffee and tea but the sun was nearing the yard arm, so we decided on a Bloody Mary and a good old Kronenbourg 1664 - the Bloody Mary was delicious and immediately regretted not getting one. The menu ranged from all day breakfast to burgers to larger entrees, they also had some great sounding Matzah ball soup, but we plumped for the Steak tartare Texas toast and a side of fries. The Texas toast tartare was amazing - the steak was fresh, the little pickled radish cubes added that nice crunch and the runny egg in the middle was sublime - would have preferred a more robust bread - maybe a sourdough but I guess it wouldn't be Texas toast. The fries were fantastic, tasted like they were fried in duck fat maybe served with a mornay sauce. Do yourself a favor - if it's a chilly day in OTR you could do worse than stopping in to Sacred Beast read more

We were there for Mother's Day, great food great service. The only reason why I gave it a three is for the price you didn't get much food, especially the French toast. And you should've gotten aside with the hamburgers other than that we enjoyed it .alittle pricey for what you got. read more

We really liked this place- the service was excellent! The place is trendy and the menu is creative and diverse. The cocktails and wine were just what we wanted. We loved the onion and gruyere burgers, the gnocchi, the deviled eggs. The lobster fries were delicious but very rich. It was incredibly loud however and felt kind of crowded but we were not disappointed!!! read more

I liked Sacred Beast but I was expecting to experience a diner. Sacred Beast is described as an urban diner serving with a motto of "simple food taken seriously", but little about the atmosphere made me feel like I was in a diner. I'm also not sure I agree with their motto. While the menu does have a few items you would find at a diner (cheeseburgers) nothing about the menu made me feel like I was eating diner food. And the prices definitely don't say diner either. The service and the food were good! But truly, for the price I paid for a burger ($12) and for it to not come with a side (everything is a la carte at $5-$8) this will not be a cheap diner meal at all. Overall I think I wasn't super impressed because I'm a huge diner fan and was disappointed by the lack of diner experience. read more

Everything here is a higher price point than you might be accustomed to but I kid you not, EVERYTHING on their menu sounds amazing. I went for a burger as part of my weekly burger crawl but there were so many other mouth watering options that I know I will be back. The burgers are not hand made in house but they are sourced from a local good quality vendor using the freshest ingredients (I was assured). The space has tufted leather booths and stainless steel trimmings. It 's really contemporary with lots of light and great music! They also sell 40's if you want to take a trip down memory lane! The staff are all relaxed with a great sense of humor. They don't take themselves too serious and it made the experience more enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend this spot for folks looking for a bit of an avant-garde flair. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

I made a reservation for four on at noon on a Sunday. We had family in from out of town, and wanted to go somewhere for brunch that served goetta. I ordered a bloody Mary that I didn't care for. It seems to have muddled parsley leaves in it, making it hard to drink with a straw. It was also pretty small for the price. Service was slow, but friendly. They were very busy. When the food came, it made up for the wait! I had the goetta breakfast with scrambled eggs. It was so delicious! The eggs were soft scrambled - maybe the best I've had at a restaurant. The goetta was a generous portion and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The hashbrowns are kind of like little cubes of shredded potatoes, fried up to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were delicious. My boyfriend ordered the omelet, which I tried and thought was very good - creamy and with a nice tang from the goat cheese. We will definitely be returning! read more

I've dined here a few times. Their breakfast items are fine, but I wanted a burger for lunch. The burger is $19 and doesn't come with fries ($7 extra). I got a $15 cheeseburger and fries special and it was pretty mediocre. Not bad, but not very good either. The pricing is way too high for the quality of food. There are much better places to eat at for lower cost. I don't think I'll go back. Serviced and ambience were fine, the food is just way overpriced for the quality you get. read more
