Don't know if it was cause it was a Friday night or cause they were doing their breast cancer month events but the wait and service here was atrocious. Waiting for a table of 4 took well over an hour, then waiting for our server took 15-20 minutes each time we needed her, and the wait time for the food was much longer than desired. Basically spent our whole night here waiting. To sum up, the wait was not worth the chicken. From my entre: Chicken was juicy and the skin had a nice crisp to it. Coleslaw was fresh and the crinkle-cut sweet potato fries was a nice side to the meal. Must grab some complimentary buttered popcorn when freshly popped. read more

I've been 20 times in the last few years, it's just amazing. Great service, great food, great prices, I love it. The last time i went, I sprung some farts out of my house. read more

Great atmosphere. Perfect for watching the game. Great food!... I like the blackened wings and onion rings.

Went here feeling an urge for some fried chicken. Never been here before, but the place is filled with pictures on every wall full of their loyal customers. A nice touch. We got the half chicken and the chicken was cooked well. The chicken comes in different varieties and we opted for Cajun style. It was too salty for me, not necessarily spicy. The fries, sweet potato or regular were fantastic! The Cajun Cole slaw was a little unremarkable as well. In summary, get the fried chicken and lots of fries. read more

The food was great and the service was stellar I got choked on food and the staff was so sweet and caring of making sure that I was ok and telling me to take care when leaving read more

Traveling through the area and hotel recommended this place as a lively pub that was sure to please. Plus side: Very friendly staff, hearty portion sizes, great drinks, spacious room. We left very full with plenty of leftovers. We also got seats quickly at the bar considering how busy the place was. Negative side: Prices a bit high for the quality of the food you get. Basic Tex-mex/pub food. Ordered the chicken taco salad and the chicken was cold and didn't have much flavor. Another person I went with ordered the special burrito and said it too lacked flavor while the third person, who ordered the same thing, thought it was great. Wings were good. Place lacks air conditioning so it got uncomfortable in the humidity. All in all, basic local establishment that will satisfy you bar food craving. Would consider going back again. read more

The ambiance is nice. It's huge and attracts a crowd. The appetizers were good. We got mozzarella sticks and quesadillas. The mozzarella sticks has some of the best breading I've had on mozzarella sticks. The batter wasn't too thick! I ordered grilled fish tacos which were DISGUSTING! The seasoning on them was off and the coleslaw was THE WORST I've ever had. Some of my coworkers had burgers and nacho salad etc and they enjoyed their food. The restaurant is not horrible but stay away from the fish tacos! read more

Our third or fourth visit here in last 3 or 4 years with a party of 4. This place always seems to be packed, so that is a good sign. But plenty of parking. All of us had the chicken which they are well known for. BTW, the chicken is not fried, it is grilled, so it tastes a little different. But a half chicken dinner ($20 with 2 sides) will satisfy most people. I had a baked sweet potato and tossed salad with hot bacon dressing. Also a bowl of chili which was good. Service was friendly and attentive. They also have a popcorn machine which is a nice touch. I'm sure we will return again, maybe for lunch next time. read more

Silver Spring House does NOT respect SERVICE DOGS. SERVICE DOGS are NOT WELCOME HERE. My 6month old service dog is in training and he barked one time. Someone named Joe with medium/long blonde hair came over and told me to "shut my dog up". Service dogs are legally welcome in any setting and I was appalled by the treatment we were given. They did not ask what type of aid he offers and even scoffed when I said he was a service dog. My mom and I came to enjoy a tasty lunch and instead were met with a rude and ignorant attitude. My dog is small, he is learning, and in fact he was doing incredibly well! We will not be back and I do not recommend you visit. read more

It's been about 5 years since I'd been here last, so I was worried that it had changed for the worse since then. No worries there! Same great food! Yes the prices have gone up but they have everywhere. Their claim to fame is chicken - it's amazing. Got the chicken tenders platter and it was as good as ever. My wife's first time here and she was very happy with her chicken cordon bleu sandwich. Definitely coming back again. read more

Our group of 5 women enjoyed the patio on a warm day. Food was ok, not anything stood out between the burgers, fish and chips were very good, and our server was trying to rush us presenting our bills while still eating and had to request more drinks. Have been here before, not as good this time. read more

Definitely has gotten too big for its britches. Roadside burrito was served as a sloppy mess filled with pieces of chicken gristle and stale blue corn chips. Water was undrinkable. Thought it was a soapy glass but waitress said their water tasted bad-- which means owners don't care enough to correct it with a proper filtering system. Waitress disappeared after serving our party of four, so there was nobody to complain to so things could be made right. Been coming for decades, and it's obvious they are just living on a past reputation after repeated expansions. Sad based on what it used to be. read more

My family and I were trying to find a spot for dinner, when my wife suggested Silver Spring House. We were seated immediately, which was great. Unfortunately, our booth was next to the restroom, the servers' area and the bar. This made it almost impossible to get out of our seats, but we dealt with it. Our server seemed somewhat stressed and annoyed as she took our drink order. She returned with our drinks, and then with pitchers for refills, which we appreciated. To her credit, she did give us time to look over the menu and returned promptly. My wife and I ordered the Half Chicken Dinner with broccoli and redskin mashed potatoes. My daughter had the Half Chicken Dinner with mac and cheese and fries. Our chicken was tender, juicy and had a good flavor to it. The only thing I would have enjoyed better, is if the skin was crisp. The mashed potatoes were very good, and the broccoli was okay. My daughter did not care for the mac and cheese, but she liked her fries. The reason I gave it only 3 stars was because of price. The Silver Spring House Restaurant is EXPENSIVE. In fact, our food, plus soft drinks, (no appetizer) came up to around $75.00. Adding a tip, it was $82.00. Sticker Shock, for sure. All in all, Silver Spring House is a decent restaurant. However, in my opinion, there are better restaurants which won't body slam your budget. read more

Great experience. Haven't been there in years but met up with siblings to celebrate my oldest brother's 75th birthday! Wonderful server, good food, great time. Thank you Silver Springhouse. read more

Great atmosphere and food! Great place to meet the crowd for chicken and beers! We went after a wedding rehearsal and they got us all seated right away and drinks in our hand as soon as they sat us! Lots of smiling servers and very welcoming atmosphere read more

The service and food quality has been amazing the 25 years I have visited the Chicken house as we called it. My mother always loved the chicken food she was very picky. The atmosphere is always upbeat and feels safe read more

Really, really average food. I had blackened shrimp. It was okay. The serving was large, but the shrimp were medium ( if you are familiar with shrimp, most restaurants serve large or jumbo and give you fewer). They were somewhat bland. The coleslaw was decent. The chili that came as a side was outstanding. Other than that, the chicken sandwich was just okay, the 1/2 chicken dinner was just okay. The best dish was probably the salads. There were eight of us and three orders salads. Each of them was excellent, with the mandarin chicken salad probably being the best. The building is cool, the massive amount of televisions would make it a great spot for a game. The service was good, not great, but good. Overall, it left me with no impression. No reason to go back next time I am in Ohio, but then again, no reason not to. read more

There for lunch today and it was excellent! Service, ambience and food were spot on!!

Our server was fantastic, attentive but not buggy, never went without something to drink, napkins are on the table, pre-lunch popcorn was great, ambiance is fabulous with open windows and a nice breeze. Even lunch specials! High quality food, atmosphere, and staff. And yes, we ordered extra sour cream on Pete's burrito. read more

I was in town visiting some family and this is one of their favorite spots so they love to bring guests here. They have great taste. It's such a fun environment! Being from Indiana I'm not used to under 21 in bars but here it's completely normal and lots of families were around. We waited about 20 minutes on a Friday night but were able to get a drink at the bar while we waited. Once we were seated we got served another round right away and when our waitress brought our drinks she took our order. I got the B.C.J as a wrap which was really good. I wish there would have been some kind of sauce (ranch or some kind of chipotle mayo or something) in it but it was good anyway. My side was sweet potato fries which were cooked really well and not too crispy or soggy. My husband got Guac on the Wild side also as a wrap and he really like it too. We'd love to return here next time we visit! read more

Great outdoor/indoor atmosphere. Server was awesome. Great food and drinks selection.

I do not like this place. It always feels so crowded! The food is meh and a bit over priced for what you're getting. Their outdoor seating is awful. This place seems like a bit of a Cincinnati staple but it's not for me. read more

I don't know what all the hype is about! Their chicken is nothing special and didn't really care about the sides. I've been at least 3 times and still waiting for something really good. read more

I usually dine there at least two times per week and suggest it to my friends. Tonight I brought a group of 5 and the hostess seemed irritated that I requested a table for 5 under the tent as we are older and at high risk for covid. I love eating under the big tent. The hostess acted put out when I asked her to put two tables together. When our food arrived my fish was cold and another's broccoli was cold. They gladly took it back. My issue was I was originally served 3 pieces of fish and when they brought back 2 pieces . In the last two weeks I spent over 200.00 there. This is unacceptable. read more

We were very disappointed in our most recent visit. We arrived, with our dog, and went to the hostess stand. Asked for a table outside since we had a dog. A second person then took us to a table, left use utensils and menus and let us know someone would be by to take our order. This was a table right out by their fence, about 10' from Kemper road. After a few minutes another person came to the table and stated they could not serve us because we had a dog "in the restaurant". He was very rude, did not explain why two other staff members greeted us and sat us at the table. He just turned and walked away as my wife and I wondered what had happened. We obviously left and won't be back. read more

I basically come here because a number of friends are regulars and it's their hob nob place. Last week I was with a well known coach after a high school game and this was his first choice to take me. If you want a well poured drink this is a perfect place. The quarter chicken looked like that if a pigeon as the drum and thigh were so small. No value at all. read more

Restaurant atmosphere is fun! Restaurant & parking lot are under renovation to expand by 10 feet all the way around the building. Service was fast and accurate. I'm getting 2- 3 meals out of my 1 meal. read more

My teenaged son liked it. He had chicken tenders and it's hard to screw those up. I picked a salad from the list of cheese smothered, iceberg lettuce offerings and as expected, it was terrible. There is nothing but bar food on the menu. It certainly is popular for how bad it is. read more

Awesome chicken!!! Reviews had me worried my expectations would be too high. Not a chance. Waitress suggested a side salad with dried cranberries, feta, almonds and it was fantastic read more

Great food and ambiance. Always great service too. Perfect place to go with a group.

I would say this place is mediocre. Not too sure why everyone makes it out to be a big deal. It's your basic bar/pub. The grilled chicken was good and moist with crispy skin, and I enjoyed the chipotle slaw. The also offer free peanuts while you wait. Not bad but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Silver Spring House has carry out down during this difficult time when dining rooms are closed. We ordered the family style chicken. It came with four sides. The chicken was fantastic. We had leftovers for lunch the next day. The price was very reasonable. Be sure to get out and support your local restaurants during this difficult time. read more

Great atmosphere, the place is always packed. I give a 3 star because they said the Mac and cheese isn't made in house and my chicken tenders were just mediocre. I understand the locals loving seeing their friends/neighbors there but I appreciate food made in house from scratch. read more

Everything is delicious. I really like their salads a lot. Really think servers are top notch.

Fun place for dinner! A great place for family or friends. Always busy but great service.

Went on a Friday evening for a date night and it was busy. We were quoted a 45-60 min wait. We snacked on the free peanuts and popcorn and I got a beer from one of the bars. The ambiance was awesome. It was huge with 3 bars and lots of TVs. We only waited maybe 20 min and got sat in the section nearest the restroom. There were photos all over the walls and bar related decor. Hubby had the fish and chips but subbed the fries for onion rings and I had the chicken they're known for with Mac n Cheese and chicken noodle soup. The soup was delish, the chicken had a nice crispy skin and was moist but not a lot of flavor, and the Mac and cheese was creamy but bland. Hubby said his food was good but not spectacular. The waitress was sweet and attentive. If we come back, it would be for atmosphere and we would try the pizza or burgers. read more
