We have been here about 6 times, and it's always yummy and lively. We used to go during COVID restrictions and felt very safe sitting outside. Great cocktails, and always a perfect spot to bring out of towners. read more

Sacred Beast feels like a moderately upscale American diner with offerings that include a little surprise flare in each dish. I ordered the burger per recommendation from the waiter and really enjoyed it! With two patties and a slice of cheese, be ready for a heavy meal. I also got a side of the cucumbers and enjoyed the fresh pickled flavor that offset the heaviness of the burger. This might be nitpicking but the beautiful decor didn't seem to match the presentation of the food (lack of garnishes). Will be coming back with a group to sample all the drinks! Highlights: +Patio seating +Large open interior, good for groups +Bar/Kitchen bar seating to watch the action read more

Hip, delicious, and trendy. This place opened a month ago and is a great addition to OTR. Inspired by Au Cheval in Chicago which reigns as the best burger in the nation, Sacred Beast does a good job living up to their inspiration. The vibe is cool, the drinks are creative and tasty, and the food ranges from edgy flavor combos, like shrimp fries, to juicy burgers with a pork belly and egg on top. Overall this is a cool spot to check out. The best part of my meal was the Convington Iced Tea - they add a hint of cold brew which was a wonderful surprise when I took a sip. The coffee note was a great burst of flavor but not overwhelming. I loved it! Definitely worth checking out! Don't be fooled, even though they have the word "Diner" in their name and are open late, this isn't your typical diner. I wouldn't recommend coming late night after drinking to get your munchies fix unless you want to $50 tab for drunk food. Come for dinner or brunch to appreciate it! read more

Sacred Beast - Beat salad, side of fries with morray sauce, and Covington Iced Tea! - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place Is AMAZING! The menu is simple but complex (in the best way possible). The burger is based off of Au Cheval in Chicago. If you haven't been - trust me when I say this is a true treat for Cincinnati. We got the steak and frites tartare with an egg and can't way enough positive things about it. Perfect appetizer! We both got the burger (we were hungry ok...) and did not make a mistake on our decision! Even thought it was dinner, I got the Bloody Mary to try it out, and it was AWESOME! Perfect combination of spicy and flavor - not to mention, their 'well' liquor is Absolute... so you could say it was pretty good. OTR needs a place like this - the lack of a late night diner with an excellent menu has been lacking in OTR and I'm excited that we finally have somewhere to exceed all expectations. read more

Overpriced to say the least. Expected to be somewhat wowed seeing what they charge for their menu items and was wowed for the wrong reason. Patio seating was ok. read more

Not bad, I'm a fan! Sacred Beast goes for the diner vibe and they do it decently well. I don't think I would have noticed it at first until someone pointed it out to me, but after I read that I could definitely feel it! The menu is interesting, to put it best. I would ask your waiter or consult Yelp before selecting an item. Can be difficult if you are vegetarian/vegan, but they do have a few options. My friend got the Korean fried chicken and I got the shrimp fries - both we're great! They are known for their cocktails, as well. Our waiter was SUPER friendly and sat us down quickly (but, since this is located in OTR, it can get busy quickly). I would recommend banking wait time. Not my favorite place in the area, but a nice place to check out if you're around! read more

I went for lunch with a friend and ordered the diner's breakfast. While the plate seemed like it wouldn't fill me up, I was surprised to find out it did. The eggs and pancakes were delicious. The pork belly was flavorful but way too hard to chew on. The wait for food was also long enough that both my friend and I noticed it. However, glad to know it is much better than my first visit read more

Excellent food and service. A great location that is easy to get to and great to poke around before or after.

I got the opportunity to give sacred beast a second chance and it was definitely a much better experience, I honestly wasn't expecting much of it but last time the service was so great and management goes above and beyond therefore it was imposible to refuse the opportunity. We went on a Thursday night with my boyfriend and once again the staff is amazing, the host is welcoming and the waitress was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and drinks. The service is quick and efficient they really make you feel comfortable. This time we decided to order the pork rings with shishito peppers again and they were just okay still not my favorite shishitos, for appetizer we also had the jumbo shrimp and that was super tasty, I love the taste and the sauce that came with was great as well a must try. For entrees my bf ordered the crispy chicken and fries, the chicken was very delicious, soft and flavorful. I ordered the goetta again, I loved it! The bed is salad was fresh and well dressed, the goetta was crispy and yummy another must try. Last but not least we tried different drinks, we had the old fashioned, sidecar, the Sazerac and the Hemington daiquiri. All were delicious and well prepared way they are worth the try. I can now say I'll probably be back to try different things in the unique menu. If you go you will not be disappointed by the service! read more

Quaint, big, slightly busy, good cocktails, coffee, pleasing yet refined cuisine. Our server was welcoming and helpful, but not overbearing. Inside, the location was roomy, calmly-designed, and outside was a well-chosen location in a lower traffic but easily accessible area. All in all, 5/5. read more

Sacred Beast is an "upscale diner" experience in OTR. What does that mean? Dig into some of your favorites--like a burger-- with some new age twists and a higher price tag. I went to the Beast for brunch and went with the neck-bone gravy and hash browns. Solid choice, but nothing phenomenal. I would have liked something to cut up all of the heavy carb loading I was doing, something fresh like a vegetable garnish, but rookie mistake on my part. My friend got the breakfast nachos, once again it tasted good, but something seems to hold it back from being "next level" for me. I will have to say that the atmosphere was great, and our server was so attentive. I love good service and definitely had it at this visit, and placing an order to go was made super easy. Overall, a nice place to catch a meal, and I'll eventually come back, but not a go-to stop for me. read more

I had heard a lot about this restaurant and finally gave it a try. Me and my brother went here the other night and it wasn't really up to the hype i heard about it. I got the salmon which was very good and flavorful but it was sitting on a pool of butter or oil or something and by the end of the meal i felt sick eating it because that's all i could taste. My brother got the chicken schnitzel and he said it was average but pretty dry and plain. Overall i would just say this place is pretty average and kinda pricey for what you get. read more

Great place. Love the ambiance and the service is beautiful. Good looks and taste great. It's something that OTR didn't have but surely needed. Happy to have it! Ordered a tequila sunrise, they said ok. Bartender walked a drink over and said it's a brunch punch. Wasn't what I ordered and it was $11! it's taste wasn't similar either. Other than that i'm a fan of this place. read more

This restaurant is tucked away on a cool corner with easy access to parking. The inside is fresh and crispy, really chill vibe. Menu is diverse and everything was super fresh. Loved visiting this place before we headed out of Cincy. Must visit read more

Sacred Beast - Goetta Breakfast - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My friends and I agree - this place is 5 stars, no doubt!! From the hostess to the server to the cocktails to the food to the ambiance, there is not one thing that deserves less than 5 stars. Five of us came here on a Friday night around 7:30pm, and waited no more than five minutes for a table. The space is pretty large, and there's a patio, so that is great. And you can use Yelp to get on the waitlist if there ever is a wait, bonus! :) The server greeted us pretty quickly once we were sat, and the drinks didn't take much time to come out. My party had the deviled eggs, steak tartare frites, wedge salad, pork rinds, and cheeseburgers. Not one person had anything negative to say about any of it!! And our server never went 'missing' like some tend to do in other restaurants. Sacred Beast is now one of my Top 5 favorite restaurants in the city, and I'll be frequenting it as often as I can!! read more

Sacred beast may be considered a diner but it has a lot more flair than what you imagine a diner to be! Slightly more upscale but still casual enough that you won't feel out of place in shorts and a t-shirt. I only ordered a mai tai and fries with lobster gravy but I will definitely come back to try more of the menu. The fries were pretty good but would prefer a thicker gravy. I recommend trying the Mai tai; it was boozy and not cloyingly sweet. read more

Sacred Beast - Fries with lobster gravy - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The food here was amazing! I got the Dirty French Burger and I absolutely loved it. It was a bit pricey for the fact that sides were separate but I would go again, it's just not a weekly visit type place to me! read more

Great scenery, comfortable seating and an eclectic environment makes this restaurant a good spot to meet up with people and have a chat. The service was fast and efficient. However, its food is a downer. There is some crearivity in its menu and I was thrilled to see an all day breakfast menu. However, the food was extremely bland and forgetable. So much I mostly forgot what we were having. I personally remember the deviled eggs, a Goetta breakfast and poutine with lobster sauce (the latter being the best one). We also tried the filet mignon and the "big ass meatball" dish. Both standard, not too bad, but not good enough to ellicit a memory. Overall, a great place with so much potential, but very disappointing in regards to food. read more

I've visited Sacred Beast a few times and every time I come here the food is great and the service is excellent. During my most recent visit I had the Diner Breakfast. It's a lot of food, but I got to try several different items such as the lemon ricotta pancakes, pork belly, scrambled eggs and a confit tomato. Breakfast is served all day. The burgers here are great as well, I definitely recommend getting a fried egg on top. I can't wait to come back to try something new. read more

Amazing lemon ricotta pancakes! I usually go for a savory breakfast but these were tasty without being too sweet. Yummy! Great service too! read more

Literally the best spot in OTR: service, food, music, coffee are all superb.

I went here for the first time the other night with my husband & son. Love the way the place is decorated! Cool bar area with many craft beers & high end cocktails! Fancy & comfortable upholstered booths. We started with the fries with lobster gravy & cheese curds. Very different. The fries were good & so was the lobster gravy, but the gravy should've been thicker; it all sat at the bottom of the dish. My husband & son got a burger, my son the dirty French burger. They both said they were very good & they looked excellent! I got the neckbone gravy which was roasted chicken and hashbrowns in gravy with a sunny side up egg on the top. Again, this was a very different dish. I liked the combinations together, but the hash browns were over cooked. The chicken & gravy were very tasty! Overall, neat place, very creative menu, but the appetizer & my dinner each had slight issues & after 3 entrees and 1 appetizer and 1 cocktail a bill of $107 seemed quite steep. Just don't know that it was worth that. Lastly, the staff was VERY nice & friendly! read more

The service was outstanding! All of the FOH was remarkable, water was placed for us, multiple people were ready to check on us and answer questions. However, the low stars go to the menu. The food was beyond flavorless. The hash tasted as if it were an old dry casserole thrown onto a dish warmed by heating lamps. It was dry and immensely lacking any flavor. Honestly had me wondering if the chefs had even been trained properly or tasted what they were serving. And the pice for such bland food is baffling. Oh and the pork belly was disastrously cut into strips, also dry and flavorless. Shout out to the wait staff who have to serve such horrible food, I am sincerely sorry you have to do that. read more

I'm sad to say this stunning restaurant offers a dish called foie gras which is a fattened duck or goose liver that requires a cruel force feeding of the animal. New York City just banned restaurants from selling the dish. I did have dinner here because i was so hungry that I was light headed so I can report that their food is excellent. My sweetie had a perfect quinoa bowl. My salmon was perfectly grilled and on a substantial salad w avocado. We took the chocolate pudding to go and it was dreamy. Also the coffee was so excellent it won over my picky partner. I'm sooooo looking forward to them taking foie gras off the menu so I can go back. Also I love their rustic decor. read more

This was an absolute gem of a restaurant in OTR in Cincinnati. It has a very modern look to it on the inside and the folks were ultra nice. As for the food I went with what they called the Diner Breakfast. Included was their Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Maple Glazed Pork Belly, and Scrambled Eggs. The eggs were fine as eggs go but the other components of the breakfast were something special. The pork belly was beautifully flavoured with the maple glaze and was the perfect protein to go with a pancake breakfast. The black pepper they season it with really took it to another level. The pancakes themselves were top of the line as well. That lemon flavour that is in the batter combined with the real maple syrup is just magical. It might actually be the best pancake I've ever had. And it's huge too! This is as fantastic of a pancake breakfast or just breakfast period as you'll ever have. I also got an appetizer of onion rings (weird for breakfast I know) which were a few huge onion rings served with basic horseradish sauce. They had a great coating on them although I thought they could have come up with something more exciting than horseradish as the dipping sauce but that's a small quibble. I also must mention how much my wife enjoyed her burger which is high praise as she's a bit of a conniseure of burgers. I'll have to try one for myself in the future. Anyway as for this visit even though it's a tad pricey, you definitely get what you pay for and this was a fantastic dining experience. read more

Outstanding burger. "The Dirty French." Also had their deviled eggs, also super good. Service was top flight, kitchen was fast, ambience was pleasant -- what more to ask for??

3 stars is being a little generous, more like 2.5 stars! Service was awful, I could go on and on here but the "starter" coming out after our burgers with zero apology from anyone sums up what you can expect here. Food was okay, burgers greasy and fries limp. The ambiance is nice though just not enough to make up for the bad service all the way around. There are so many good restaurants in Cincy, your not missing anything here. read more

Dinner with my husband and our 2 teenage kids. Ordered a side of onions rings as an appetizer which were fine but not great. My glass of wine seemed less generous than normal. Everything else was delicious. My kids had the meatball and a cheeseburger burger. Meatball was very flavorful. Husband had the fried chicken and watermelon salad and he really liked it. I had the power bowl which is vegan based with pork belly. It was very fresh and delicious. I recommend the hash browns over the fries - different but flavorful. I also recommend the brown butter almond cake for dessert. My kids loved the chocolate pudding with sea salt which they were able to make without nuts. We just them know we had a show to catch she they accommodated our timing which I appreciated. As far as value - decent but not cheap. Everything is a major carte. Wine pour was quite small - less than 1/3rd of the glass. Decent service as well. I would return and recommend giving it a try. read more

I had the English Martini and it was fantastic. As was the bread pudding french toast. My friend from out of town got to try goetta and is now a convert. I had heard a lot of good things about this place and at least from one visit I can say it lived up to the hype. read more
