Sacred beast menu

We stopped at sacred beast on our way to the Blink opening ceremony. When we first got there, we were the only ones there and boy did it fill up quickly. The food is delicious. Would highly recommend. We will be back again when we are in the area.

So this review might seem short, But if I didn't have much reservation in 40 minutes I would have eaten here for sure. This was on a weekend to Cincinnati down close to Over the Rhine. The old school music player was just incredible still sounds great. Of course you know you must try French Fries everywhere I go. These were the perfect shoe string type of fries with Mornay sauce ( it was delicious). Great outdoor space, but please make reservations this place was packed so I just sat the bar.

Finally tried Sacred Beast! We had heard a lot about and read great reviews-- seemed worthy of venturing to OTR to check it out. There was an FCC game that evening -- we did not realize that meant multitudes of orange clad fans vying for dinner before walking to the game. Luckily we had a reservation, so the three of us were seated quickly. We started with drinks, then ordered the lobster bisque fries with cheese curds to share, dirty French hamburger, gnocchi with a wine sauce and the fried chicken. All was tasty. Highest votes went to the fries and the Dirty French burger (would order these again!); next the chicken (some spicy crispy things came with it) and last the gnocchi. Service was casual and friendly but slow ("Is she ever going to come back?"), due to the game crowd no doubt. One drink took a good 20 minutes to arrive, but food came out without delay assisted by servers from the kitchen. Very casual. There are paid parking lots...but on a game night....be prepared to walk several blocks.

Diner Breakfast

Cute vibe with plenty of natural light coming through the windows. Our server was super nice and we never went long without her stopping by to check on us. Food was fine for the most part. Nothing I had was amazing, though. I didn't care for the eggs or pancakes but the meat in my "diner breakfast" meal was better.

I'm gunna be 100% honest .... It's not the bees knees .... Everything aesthetically looks amazing, but taste wise it's alright. We tried all the top menu items and there really wasn't anything I would come back for. Deviled eggs were decent but tasted better if u put the fries on top, the fries with lobster gravy? I tasted noooo seafood whatsoever and there definitely was not seafood meat either so don't be fooled by the name ... at best they prolly made a gravy with seafood shells just to call it that ... $15 for fries ... I'm good ... the dirty French was prolly the thing I liked most and I'd give it a 6 .... Chocolate pudding tasted like pot de crème .... Not chocolate pudding ... chicken schnitzel was alright as well... Hate to say it but it's true ... our server was amazing though. Atmosphere definitely had the Diner feel for sure.

If you're looking for good breakfast/brunch, this is a good choice! Walked in w no reservations on a Sunday and got a spot at the bar as everything else had been booked up. Bartender was super cool and the food came out real quick and was tasty. Shoutout the goetta breakfast!

Service was quick and friendly You can never go wrong with the deviled eggs- always fresh and flavorfully balanced- The fries with mornay are a bit steep, but this batch was worth the 7 bucks I got the Mahi Reuben and the kitchen didn't drain the sauerkraut well the whole underside of my bread was a soggy mess- but it was still pretty delicious. They are spot on with the food temps- everything comes straight out fresh and hot- and I appreciate that

Dirty French
Tammi W.

Went here as it was featured on DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here. We watched the show right before going and it was nice to see the staff from the show right at the door. We got the food featured on the show, the Dirty French burger and the Chili Crunch Chicken Nuggets. We also split fries which were ok. Service was average. Parking is costly unless you can score on the street parking. Has indoor and outdoor seating. The chicken nuggets were to die for! Honestly the best I've ever had, so crunchy and delicious!

deviled eggs

Delicious Cincy breakfast, especially for out-of-towners looking for something interesting. This place has got some more items specific to this area, so it's not your regular pancakes and hash browns. We are talking oatmeal sausages, deviled eggs, neckbone gravy. As the mister is a connoisseur of deviled eggs (har har), we of course picked that. I also love any kind of western breakfast plates, so I opted for the goetta breakfast, which I haven't found in any other places in the world yet but Cincy :O We also got some pancakes to round it out. The deviled egg is almost... too scrumptious for breakfast with the pork rinds! However, it is a littttttle less flavourful than we thought it'd be even with all the ingredients like mustard seeds in it. Pretty solid over all. The goetta breakfast is a must try because it's so interesting -- but it definitely brings back to mind when folks had to be more resourceful. The whole plate was delicious though! OTR is filled with delicious restaurants and bars already... add this to your list for a nice Sunday brunch!

Sacred Beast delivers an experience that feels both vibrant and thoughtfully composed. The ambiance strikes a beautiful balance between relaxed and energetic, with a music selection that creates an atmosphere you can settle into while still feeling inspired by the space around you. From the moment we arrived, the hostesses were warm and accommodating, and the service throughout the meal was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. As someone with gluten allergies, I felt genuinely cared for. The team listened closely and offered recommendations that never felt like a compromise on flavor or creativity. We began with a dirty chai latte, aromatic and comforting, though I personally would have enjoyed a touch more sweetness. The dirty French, customized gluten free, was rich, decadent and deeply satisfying. It felt indulgent in the best way and showcased the kitchen's ability to balance comfort with culinary intention. To go, we ordered the crunchy chicken nuggets, fries and lemon ricotta pancakes. The fries were outstanding, perfectly crisp and addictive. My husband loved the pancakes, light and flavorful with a bright citrus note. The gluten free nuggets were enjoyable, though they did not quite reach the level I expected compared to the rest of the menu. Overall, Sacred Beast offers a dining experience where hospitality and thoughtful cooking meet effortlessly. It is a place that respects dietary needs without sacrificing taste or creativity, and one I would gladly return to.

Smoked Salmon & Rye Toast
Devena S.

Came for a late afternoon brunch. That by itself is 5 stars because brunch any time of day is my love language. So I'm biased. But the food is GOOD and so is service! The staff isn't snooty and the ambiance can be casual family or date and everything in between. This was my second time eating here and this time was better than the first time. Mostly due to service being consistently better

Fried Mortadella
Doug K.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect coming here but was totally blown away by the food! Came here on a Saturday night with some friends. It's a pretty big spot with lots of seating. Big fan of whatever playlist they had playing too. We started with some apps of the pork rinds and steak tartare. The tartare was decent but the pork rinds were delicious! A nice generous serving of them as well. For entrees we got the Chili Crunch Chicken, Fried Mortadella, and the Schnitzel. All of them were great but the Chili Crunch chicken really stood out. They're basically like fried chili chicken nuggets in a rice bowl. The rest of the menu looked great as well, we will definitely be back to try the rest!

We had never been to the Echo before even though we come to Cincinnati often. They make their own pies and have a wide assessment of breakfast and lunch items so we were drawn to this little gem. I ordered the hot mess. And it did not disappoint in the least. Let me be clear, if you love breakfast then the hot mess is not to be missed. My better half ordered the blueberry pancake which was perfect. Lightly crispy and tons of blueberries. She also got a side order of bacon that was crispy without being too far gone. The white bread toast was crispy buttery and delicious, most definitely home made. Yum! Our waitress Emmy was so patient with all of my silly questions. She was one of the best servers I have ever had. We will come again and highly recommend eating here. I hope the echo pays Emmy more because she is outstanding.

There is always a line for breakfast, but it moves rather quickly, especially for smaller parties. The dining space itself is indeed a throwback to neighborhood diners of the past, complete with a large counter-service area. Servers hustle to get orders taken and food delivered quickly, but do so with a cheerful and friendly demeanor. Unfortunately, the actual food was average. The basics - eggs, toast, home fries, meats - were perfectly fine. But pancakes and French toast were forgettable, as was the breakfast wrap. They just lacked any real flavor, and in the case of the pancakes seemed tough and overcooked. We will give it another try, but we left largely underwhelmed.

The staff were extremely friendly and seemed willing to actively engage with customers. It was a nice neighborhood spot. I ordered Mo's Rice Bowl, and it was generally well executed. Maybe a little bit more rice than it needed, but it presented a nice combination of flavors and textures. The pickled onions were well done. There was a relish type offering that rounded it out. The fried egg was a nice protein addition. Overall, the dish came together. I'm not from Cincinnati, but they apparently have a regional goetta dish. I ordered the vegan version, and it was really well done. Good on the restaurant for thinking to offer a vegan version. All told, this was an exception place. It's a little small, but there was essentially no wait to get a seat at the bar. Highly recommended.

We had a reservation for two and for some reason they sat us directly next to the loud kitchen. Entire building open and we got bad seats just baffles me. The prime rib carpaccio was basically lunch meat with arugula. We liked the crispies but overall it's not something we really enjoyed and would not order again. It would have been better served on toast maybe. This was something we'd never had before and did not know what to expect so that's on us. 22 oz ribeye and potatoes are ok, a lesser version of sotto. steak was crisped well, not as much fat as usual which i liked. the crispy lasagne was ok. sauce is a tad spicy which was fine. kitchen manager or head chef came out to speak with us and he was very friendly. our server was Jenna. espresso martini - great, done well with strong espresso flavor and foam on top the red borough - very good, comparable to a manhattan blueberry spritz - very fruity, easy drinker s'mores was ok but honestly could do without the ice cream The ambiance is nice, very cute and clean. chairs were different and comfortable! Overall, it was ok. Not one of our top ranked places in cincy.
