A large group and I visited Sacred Beast for brunch today. I have been wanting to visit, so I was glad that this is where we ended up choosing for brunch. From the looks of it, it seems like a very brunch-vibed place. Lots of windows, spaced out seating, and lighter colors around. I'd be interested to see what this place turns into during dinner time. All the food was tasteful and seasoned well. I enjoyed the Blackened Mahi Reuben that I ordered. Our waitress mentioned it is a house favorite at the moment and I totally agree. I thought they heavily seasoned fish and sauerkraut really played well together. As for the veg hash, it was tasteful, but wasn't as "veg" forward as I would've liked. Considering our large group size, our service was good. We received our food relatively quickly and it was hot. No complaints. I recommend this place for brunch with friends or a casual date . I'll keep my recommendation only towards brunch because that's all I experienced. read more

One of our favorite spots in Cincinnati! Food is always on point. The Deviled Eggs, Mahi Reuben, Steak Tartare, Dirty French & Lemon Ricotta pancakes are all must haves. They have a full espresso bar and great list of cocktails. Service is fun, we enjoy sitting at the bar most times. The bartenders are always up for a great convo read more

Great outdoor seating on a beautiful day, yummy pork rinds, delicious fries, and fantastic service. The deviled eggs toppings were good, but the egg mixture was so-so. The egg halves had part hard cooked yolk and part egg yolk and mayo mixture. 5/7 of us ordered cheese burgers. My son said it perfectly; the burgers looked as though they were boiled or steamed. Very thin (not a complaint), served rare/medium rare. My daughter said the hamburger buns were like a pastry, so good and buttery and flaky. 1/7 of us had the dirty french burger. They liked that, but agreed the burger needed some char. 1/7 of us got the chili crunch chicken nuggets. I should have asked more, but she didn't like them. However, she loved the cucumber & thai basil dunk. Would try some other items from here, as the menu looks great. read more

Finally got to try Sacred Beast and it was great. Service, drinks, and food was great! I had a Dirty French Burger and risotto balls where were both amazing. We'll be back! read more

Brunch here was so good and they take reservations! Loved their cappuccino. For food, it was hard to know what to order because everything looked so good. Don't miss the creme brûlée french toast. It's an extremely unique and tasty dish. Perfect balance of sweet creme brûlée, slightly soft and slightly crispy french toast. Yum! I also got the corned beef hash. The hash is cut into big pieces and the beef is very tender. You'll love this dish. Friendly service, too! read more

First time at Sacred Beast was great! We went for lunch and had quick seating, attentive service, and the food came out fast. We ordered the lobster fries as an app, which were delicious! One note about the lobster fries is there is not chunks of lobster in them. It's a lobster sauce. It has a ton of flavor! Our entrees we chose were the chicken Parmesan and the single burger. Both were great, but after having the chicken Parmesan, I'd recommend ordering a side salad or a side of fresh veggies. The flavors start to melt together and it quickly becomes very "fried" tasting and heavy. A fresh element could really elevate the dish! The burger was wonderful- it's really just a good burger! read more

Just wanted to take a second to say that dinner at Sacred Beast was one of the best we've had in a while! The owner actually helped wait our table, and she was so kind. I have some dietary restrictions and I love how compassionate she was about that, and how there are dairy free markings on the menu! The food was truly delicious, we really enjoyed the outdoor seating. Thank you SO much! read more

So good! Early in and kitchen was still on it. Breakfast for dinner is such a great option. Can't wait to try more of the menu

Yum! Made reservations here a couple weeks ago, which I would recommend since it was pretty busy when we were there. We were seated and greeted immediately. There is a large drink menu so we ordered a couple cocktails and the deviled eggs. We then ordered our meals ,we split the lettuce wedge and the fish rueben. Another member of our party had the risotto. Everything was hot, delicious and they accommodated some special food requests easily! read more

This was my first visit. It was at the top of my list as a new Cincy resident. I love the outdoor seating. It's perfect if you love people watching or just enjoying a nice breeze. Our server, Jory, was great. He made sure we were taken of but wasn't overbearing. I appreciated his attention to detail. The fries were fantastic! Probably some of the most flavorful fries I've ever had. The sauce was nice too. Creamy, but not cheesy. The sandwich was something I was willing to try since I love fish and sauerkraut. I liked it, but maybe the fish was cooked a little too long. It was a bit dry. I'd definitely return. There are not many vegetarian/vegan options. read more

No complaints in sight! Good vibes, good service, and good food! I had the lox sandwich and it was delicious with the goat cheese and other toppings. I tasted the chili crunch chicken and that was also yummy! I had a Bloody Mary to start and finished every drop. The orange creamsicle drink wasn't for me but that's just my taste. I'm glad I tried it. All in all, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a go. Xoxo, Is this thing on? read more

Visited Cincy to have a night out with a college friend for her birthday. Saw good reviews for this spot. Did reservations...no issues. Had the option to sit inside or outside. Inside was a cool vibe but the good weather drew us outside. Our server Brieanna was really helpful & attentive. We got some appetizers & I ordered by friend the PB&J shot for her. She really enjoyed it & got a second. With advice from some patrons on a picnic table near us we both got some pretty unique burgers and were highly satisfied. Only issue I had was I ordered a coffee beverage for my ride back home & the bar never made it or it didn't get picked up by server. Nonetheless, I'd come back for the cool vibes & menu options. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Sacred Beast. It has been a few years since the last time I dined there, but it was just as good as I remembered. I ordered the omelette and side salad. It was phenomenal. The omelette was perfectly cooked had a great combination of flavors. The peppers and goat cheese balanced each other well. The service was great, too. I asked for hot sauce and my server brought three different varieties! I really appreciate her thoughtfulness. I'm looking forward to going back soon! read more

This is one of my Fiancé and I's FAVORITE spots in Cincinnati. Delicious, creative, and tasteful diner themed bites. Great atmosphere. Post Covid, it used to be open quite late, which is how we originally found it. They've reduced hours but still just as wonderful. Highly recommend the Chicken Liver Mousse. The Mortadella Sandwich is heavy and rich, but divine. The burger is incredible. Just go already, and thank me later. Cheers! read more

My wife and I recently visited Sacred Beast for lunch. I tried the Deviled Eggs and Goetta Breakfast. The Deviled Eggs were delicious. Soft egg whites were filled with a creamy salty whipped yolk filling and topped with crunchy mustard seeds. The Goetta Breakfast was also tasty. Meaty sausage was filled with crispy oats and paired with yolky over easy eggs, soft potatoes with a crisp outside and hot sauce. read more

Enjoyed a delicious girls brunch. We made a reservation for 11:30 on Sunday but were able to be seated early at 10:45. I had the lavender lemonade, bread pudding french toast, and french fries with mornay sauce. All food was delicious. French toast portion is just right. Mornay sauce didn't add much flavor to fries which were well seasoned on their own. Service was a little slow at the beginning but was great later. I'd return if I was in Cincy. read more

If you haven't been here. Make a reservation RIGHT NOW! I want to say thank you to this place for always being so accommodating to us. We usually roll around with 12-22 people at a time (I know). And they have always been great. With small groups or large and we come in as one of the last time slots every time because of everyone's wacky work schedules. The food is soooooo good. There are just no words that are coming to mind to describe it. I'll share 2 crowd favorites. Diner Breakfast & Dirty French Burger You will need a fork and knife for the dirty French. It is very rich. But ohhhhhh so good. Dip your fries in it as well. And I have to add. They do this thing and the entire presentation makes it. You can order "the champagne of beers". Yes. High life. And they bring it out in a chilled server with chilled champagne glasses and I just love the whole thing. Staple of cincinnati. There are some amazing "different" dishes like the Steak Tartare which is good. But those lemon ricotta pancakes. Are gold. Pure. Gold. Go. Run. Now. We love this place and the service! Thank you guys! read more

We took my son here for his bday on a Sunday afternoon. No wait which was great. The Dirty French was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Only comment was I could have lived without the capers. For me they just didn't seem like they belonged. The fries with lobster gravy was also delicious. Service was exceptional but I can't say the dining room ambiance was my cup of tea. There were 5 of us (4 men) and we were put in a large booth but seeing 3 men stuffed into one side looked so uncomfortable. The food was fantastic but definitely on the pricey side even for OTR. Our bill was $175. read more

Been wanting to try the Beast for a while. The location in OTR is spacious and clean. Diner style with a flair for fancy. The food was very good but the burger on the expensive side compared to similar size a quality in the OTR area. The Dirty French is a fork and knife burger for sure. Over all this is a solid place to enjoy some food, the atmosphere may not be for everyone but it worth a try. read more

Sacred Beast Diner has my vote for one of the best brunches in town. When I visited recently for the first time, my friend and I were tempted by the same things, namely the server-recommended fried truffle risotto balls to start followed by the corned beef hash. Oh, the risotto balls! Every element of them was perfect, including the lick your plate good marinara sauce they came in. As kids, my friend and I reminisced about enjoying the canned corned beef hash our moms would pick up at this supermarket. Well, we're grown ups now and we both really appreciated the very grown up corned beef hash we had at Sacred Beast. Large, tasty cubes of corned beef nestled in with expertly spiced, beautifully cooked potatoes and the lot was topped with two poached eggs. I added a bit of hot sauce, paired it with a latte and oohed and aahed my way through the meal. Honestly good food. And great service, too. read more

What a cool place in a somewhat strange neighborhood. Looks like the surroundings are on the verge of being revived. What a beautiful restaurant. The design crew was on point here. Luv luv the look. The menu, while limited, offers a variety of delicious sounding dishes. And it appears the selections change periodically. Unfortunately I only have one stomach. On my visit I indulged in an English Martini, which was so delicious I would drive the 2-hours it takes me just to have another. Elderberry and cucumber, light , refreshing, with a kick that kinda sneaks up on you. I also enjoyed a huge omelet which had feta and spinach and what-not in it. The greens on the side were fresh and had the perfect amount of dressing on it. So good. Food quality and service are clearly a priority here. read more

If you happen to be visiting downtown Cincinnati, I highly recommend dining at Sacred Beast early in your stay. You'll want to go back. And if you live here and haven't tried this fine restaurant, what are you waiting for? Attending a pre-wedding event in Washington Park, my husband and I were steered to Sacred Beast by in-the-know locals for a late Saturday night meal. From the moment we entered, we knew we were in good hands. Service is warm, welcoming, and helpful. The cocktails are expertly made, and the food is amazing. Sacred Beast was able to accommodate my gluten issues with aplomb; there are many delicious options for those needing to eat gluten-free. Among those options is the best damn cheeseburger I've had the pleasure to eat. Seriously, it's so good our server said many preferred it to the regular version. The secret is the root vegetable hash that serves as a bottom bun. Made with potatoes, carrots, parsnips, garlic, herbs, and then cooked to a golden crisp, it serves as a perfect foil to the onion-pickle sauce and the yummy, yummy cheeseburger. My husband scarfed down his twice cooked ribeye and loved the onion rings so much he ordered them again when we went back for lunch the day we traveled home. read more

Holy SCHMOLY had one of the meals I've had in a long time here recently. It was one of the top recommended spots for brunch and that's for a d@mn good reason. The brunch cocktail menu is LIT and the drinks are expertly-made. I got brunch drunk and was loving it, y'all. My friend and I ordered two entrees 1) hash and eggs, 2) the lemon ricotta pancakes and a side of goetta, which I just had to try. Everything was INCREDIBLE. Sad I can't get goetta in Southeast Michigan (that I know of) because it was such a crunchy, satisfying breakfast treat. I'm afraid to try it again sometime because I'm not sure it would live up to this time. We both had multiple English Martini cocktails which were so goooood I want to figure out how to replicate them at home. Come here for brunch!!! But come on the early side or there may be a brief wait. We were pleasantly surprised by the quick seating and service on the weekend. They also played awesome music and the staff (the guys at least) were all suspiciously attractive. There's a recipe for success going on at Sacred Beast, I'm telling you! read more

Sacred Beast was your typical brunch spot. The interior has authentic details to add to the history of the city of Cincinnati. The tables and seating were comfortable. As for the service, Tommy, our waiter, was incredible. He kept refills coming and food didn't take an extremely long time. For a busy brunch, I can see why it took a little longer than I'd like. That dude had a great sense of humor and was able to match the tables energy very well. He was able to give amazing recommendations and had a nice personality. As for the food, it was pretty good. One thing that surprised us was the Bread Pudding French toast. I don't know how they did it, but somehow they made the French toast creamy and fluffy at the same time. It was like eating undercooked French toast, in a good way though. The dominant flavors of the bread pudding and syrup are very prominent here. The other thing that blew us away was the Neckbone Gravy. This was a much more savory bite for sure. One thing that I found was that the ratio of each ingredient in the dish was well balanced. The gravy added a nice thick base flavor to subtle hints of egg, Mornay, and roasted chicken. It made the chicken juicy and melt in your mouth. It was my personally favorite thing at the table. This place knows how to do cheesy eggs too. Their soft scramble is incredible and makes for a delicate, creamy and fluffy egg. As for the pancakes, the lemon flavor is dominant here. They are on the smaller end of the pancake spectrum but have a thick fluffiness to them. As for the pork belly, it was one of the only things on the table that I wasn't a fan of. It was very very tough for a pork belly and not a melt in your mouth type. It was like eating beef jerky. I'm not sure if this is what they are going for or if it was just overcooked or day old. The other thing I wasn't a fan of was the kimchi ketchup. It was a weird taste to pair with everything. It tried to make the hash browns more of an Asian dish. I think an Aioli or sweet ketchup would've worked better here. The hash browns themselves though were really good. The crispy outside had a nice soft flaky inside. I also enjoy how thick they were and it was a decent portion. Lastly, the Goetta was decent. It was like taking sausage flavored rice and packing it into a slab. It contained good flavor and I would like to try it again, but the texture threw me off for sure. Overall, if i was in Cincinnati, I would visit again. Maybe next time I'll try their lunch portion a try, it looked pretty intriguing. The price was slightly high for the portion but the way today's economy is, that's how most places are. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice brunch! read more

This is probably a toss up between 3 and 4 stars, but it was probably a 3.5-3.75 stars so I'll go with 4. Ate here on a Sunday afternoon after typical brunch crowd. Ordered the pomegranate martini, Bloody Mary, chicken schnitzel, and Mahi Reuben. Food was pretty good, but I would say the price was a bit much for entrees that come without any sides. Enjoyed the fact that the Bloody Mary mix was handmade. The outdoor seating is super nice with coverage with umbrellas that give a good ambiance. This would be a good choice for someone looking for a bougie brunch spot in the $20-$30/person range. read more

Went on a Saturday night about 6 or so. Had reservations so that was a good thing. Parking was good directly across the street. 6 bucks to park! They do not have a big menu but what they have is good. There specialty is burgers. 2 people in my party had a burger and they both really enjoyed them. I had the breakfast for dinner. What stood out was the pancakes. They were so good. I would order this again. Very nice drink selection. A good mixture of craft beer and specialty made drinks. The food prices at about average. The beverage prices I felt are a bit lower then other place. It is a younger crowd place. Do please go and enjoy. read more

They operate throughout Covid with great safety precautions and expanded their online ordering platform. For me, this is the best burger downtown, so every time the craving creeps up on me, I know where to go. Calling in to order is no problem, but you can also order online for pick up or delivery. They have a pickup window by the door off Vine St., where you can safely and swiftly grabbed your orders to go. Sacred Beast joined the recent venture of Boca's Chef David Falk, called Domo. You can order a family pre-cooked meal delivered to your door, that only needs reheating. This seems like a nice option in these times. read more

First of all, I loved the inside of the building a lot and it had nice outdoor seating set up. It is the perfect place to grab a bit before a FC game (as were most people when we came in). Our service was good and fast. I ordered the dirty French. I was torn for a very long time but everyone talked about this burger so I had to try it. It was a rich, perfectly cooked burger in what I would describe as a peppercorn tasting gravy and melted cheese. You absolutely need a fork and knife but it was amazing. The bun was toasted so perfectly that it truly added amazing flavor to the meal. The fries come with a mornay sauce which was also perfectly cooked. My fiancé got the double burger and it also looked great. We will 100% be back again soon. It truly is the best burger and will ruin all other burgers for you. Lastly, I got the hipsters girlfriend which was a shot of Four Roses and a glass of Rose for $10. I think next time I will try the milkshake shot or just order one of the beers. There was such a good variety of drinks. My fiancé got the Black Widow blackberry cider and it was GREAT. You have to order it you like ciders. read more

Went for Sunday brunch with friends and even with it very busy we had a reservation and got drinks and food super quick. Our server was great! They have breakfast all day which is what we all got.

Went in a group of 6 on a Saturday night, we made reservations earlier in the week. The ambiance of the restaurant was super cool and our waiter was great! I am normally a bit picky on service as I worked in the service industry for some time, and I was very impressed by the level of service. I had a burgers for my meal and it was excellent! We had a side of green beans which were also very good. We had the deviled eggs to start and the presentation was great, however I did not love the deviled eggs, they weren't bad but wasn't what I expected. It was essentially a hard boiled egg with more egg on top of the half cut hard boiled egg vs. the yolk being scooped out for topping. We had the chocolate pudding for dessert and it was good, but more of a pudding than a mousse consistency (they described it in person as being more of a mousse). Very rich in flavor! Overall a great dining experience and will come back. Had the Tito's smash for a drink and would definitely recommend. read more

Such a great new(ish, to me at least) place! This space is much larger than it looks and does take reservations which made me want to try it even more. I love the open space with lots of windows (there's even a heated patio). Service was nice, no issues there. Let's talk food- Lobster gravy fries- the highlight of the meal! So much that the boyfriend was licking up the gravy with whatever he could fine. The cheese curds, yummy fries, gravy. Pork Rinds- fun (rather large sized) appetizer. Nice kick of chili lime seasoning. Something different to snack on Bibb salad- solid side salad, we just needed some veggies and the vinaigrette was refreshing Breakfast/diner sampler- lemon ricotta pancakes were a hit, good pork belly, and nice runny eggs Can not wait to try other brunch, lunch, dinner or late night meals here!
