THE Best. Chicken Caesar. In the world. (Partly devoured before taking photo.)
Gloria Z.

Say it with me: hidden gem. Yeah I know, that phrase is really overused but in this case, it fits. Like a glove. This is a total gem of a joint, and yes it is hidden off the heavily beaten path, and SO GLAD that we finally found it! I've been twice now and I'm confident in going all the way for my rating, because when it comes to BARS that serve FOOD in this area, it doesn't get any better. I enjoyed the best chicken Caesar salad I have ever had. From the creamy and tangy homemade dressing to the oh so fresh perfectly chopped romaine, to the delicious grilled, sliced, tender and juicy chicken. You know how when you "add chicken" to a salad at most bars it's in strips, a little overdone and kind of all around meh? Not so here. It's perfect, and I had it twice. My husband has also tried their Cobb salad as well as a rib dinner special, plus I went crazy on their soft pretzels (which are actually pretzels, not those log shaped things). Everything is delicious. There is a decent variety of dishes to choose from, even pasta. This is one of the friendliest bars I've been to in half a decade and it seems like one can become a regular pretty quick here. It's a true neighborhood watering hole, a great place to throw back a few generous drinks, shoot some pool, watch a game, play some Keno, and most of all just get in on some fun bar conversation. They've got a nice back deck, well covered with seating, ashtrays, AND a heater for those icy nights. On our second visit (even on the first) we were chatting with regulars and staff like we knew them forever. The owner Mike greeted us at the door like old friends, and came over to let us know they had NFL Sunday ticket and was there any particular game we wanted to see. Talk about welcoming! Assorted specials are posted for every night. Ladies night, Wednesday sounds pretty good. The karaoke night is Monday. Since karaoke is something you either love or loathe, I figured I'd let you know that. So if you're looking for a great friendly little bar where you'll feel right at home and also enjoy some tasty home cooking for cheap, come on by, you'll be glad you did. I'll see you there! (Except Monday.)

Grippos Burger with fresh cut fries

Ever since Jungle Jim's built a second location in Eastgate, my desire to travel to Fairfield, Ohio has been minimal to none. No offense to Fairfield but driving down State Route 4 towards Hamilton is a pretty sad state of affairs (No offense to Hamilton but you suck). Fortunately, there is a diamond in the rough along the Hamilton Trail and it is Sneaky Pete's. Last year Sneaky Pete's was your typical hometown bar. It donned a full stocked bar, ample seating, and about a half dozen pool tables. Something happened recently though that everyone should know about and that is the addition of a new food menu. I'd heard the food here was exceptional but I had to travel here to experience it firsthand. The food here truly speaks for itself Grippos Burgers, Grippos Mac n Cheese, Cajun Pasta, Jamaican Wings, Fried Pickles, Fresh Cut Fries. The list goes on. This is without question the best bar food I've ever had anywhere. Don't let the exterior fool you, this looks like a hole-in-the-wall bar, but inside you'll find real chefs cooking real food. Real good food!

Wings ( was supposed to have Cajun dry rub, cook did not honor that request, they did not offer to fix) Grippo BBQ sauce!

Stopped in here after reading some good reviews for a bite and drink before our drive back to Louisville. Bar goers very welcoming and friendly! Bartender Danielle very knowledgeable and a wonderful person to have serving you! Prices seemed fair and reasonable for what you got. Disappointed in the food though. Boyfriend got the grippo burger which I was excited about. When I first tasted the the burger it stood out there was a taste of old grease like the grill had not been cleaned in a while. Wings were okay nothing to brag about.. House made chips great though! All around 3 stars from me. Pool tables, good bartender, decent food choices, hole in the wall spot. I think the burger had a lot of potential but was disappointed on the old grease taste from a lack of cleaning.

Don't let looks deceive you this bar has amazing food and awesome bartenders! I make it a point to always be there on taco tuesdays!

Burger with fried egg on it.

Do not be swayed by the surroundings. The food is really really good for bar food. I had a chicken sandwich and it was really moist and the bun was delicious. The chicken wings were a good size and the medium sauce had just the right heat. My husband is from upstate New York and is particular about chicken wings and he said they were good! Our friend had a hamburger and it was so big I was amazed he was able to eat it!! We also had chicken nachos and mozzarella sticks. Both were great. Staff was really friendly and they gave great service. When we left, the bartender waved and told us to be safe :) Nice locally owned establishment to eat, drink and play pool!

Grippos Burger!

Stopped in here for lunch today base solely on proximity and Yelp reviews. What an awesome pleasant surprise! The wait staff was great and attentive for sure, but the food was absolutely amazing! It's about a 45 minute ride from our home but we're here purchasing a new vehicle down the road and have to say we will stop back next time we're on this side of town! Maybe even make a special trip for it. We had fried mushrooms, some boneless wings, steak quesadilla, and the real magic..... The gripped burger! Juicy and delicious as was everything else. Kudos to the Chef here! And a super nice guy!

Jen is bartender and extremely awesome. Need a beer she has you covered.

See all

Stone Tavern - Yes it was that good

Stone Tavern

(26 reviews)

A little local gem hidden off the main thoroughfare. We saw the good reviews and decided to give it…read morea try. The building itself is an interesting shape and stone- so it is easy to spot. There is a small parking lot plus street parking available. One interesting thing is the numerous old photos of Hamilton hanging on the walls. There is even one of the building back in the day! We ordered an Anna's pretzel with beer cheese and horse cheese as an appetizer. It was one of the best soft pretzels I've eaten! Large, warm and the 2 dipping sauces made a great accompaniment. We ordered a Reuben and fish and chips also. They were yummy as well. The bar tender/waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The prices are very moderate. I noticed they even offered lunch specials. I definitely plan on visiting again.

Yes, it's a beautiful, sturdy building that you just know is reeking of historical significance…read more Parking is as easy as everyone is saying -- there always seems to be room on the street. The waitress seemed helpful enough, though, as there's weren't many customers this early in the evening, she was too busy watching the Winter Olympics to give me more than the cursory attention needed to bring my food out and take my payment. But the food definitely made up for that. This is made-from-scratch creativity at its finest. I got the Reuben's Stones, expecting a fried fritter, but got a delicate, made-like-my-mamma-would pastry instead. It was soft and doughy inside, and jam-packed with corned beef. The fish in the fish and chips was huge, hot, and right out of the fryer. And the fries had to be made from scratch, because I've never seen that particular shape come out of a freezer bag: they looked cut naturally from the round, and were also hot and tasty. And the warm butter cake was as amazing as everyone said. Actually it's this small squat cake that looks like a muffin -- until you cut into it and realize it's soaked in syrup inside & absolutely delicious. The only disappointment were the green beans --- they were overcooked and mushy -- though maybe that's how English green beans are authentically cooked. Overall, though, my visit was a real adventure filled with authentic and delicious surprises. I will definitely be back to try more.

Went to this lovely establishment for the first time Thursday, February 13th and I was blown away…read more I want to mention I DO NOT like Mac and cheese and haven't had any since I was around 10 years old but it was one of the chosen items from their Valentine's Day menu. I reluctantly tasted it and I could have eaten it ALL but it was my date's appetizer choice not mine . The gastrique on the lamb chops was exquisite along with the Love Potion cocktail. We were very pleasantly surprised the chef came by our table as well. Highly recommend. Come dressed to impress and have a great night out with meticulously smart prepared cuisine. I could go on and on but I will end it here. Side note to the restaurant-I noticed my chicken was a bit overcooked but just remembered the server asked how I wanted my chicken cooked. I looked perplexed as that is not a question I've ever been asked and I believe that was her first day as a server. However, I said well done because I was kind of in shock with the question. I'm assuming she put well done on the order which was why it seemed over cooked. Please let her know chicken is either cooked or raw. No need to ask that question.

I placed a reservation for 7 guests on September 23, 2025 for September 26, 2025 at 7:00 PM. On…read moreSeptember 25, 2025, I even received a confirmation text asking me to reply "1" to confirm or "9" to cancel. I replied "1" to confirm my reservation. When we arrived on September 26 at 7:00 PM, the restaurant was closed. No notice, no call, no text -- even though you clearly had my contact information. This was especially disappointing because it was for my birthday celebration, and we were forced to scramble last-minute to find an alternative. It's extremely frustrating to confirm a reservation and then arrive to a locked door without any communication. I hope you'll take this feedback seriously, as this could have been avoided with a simple message letting me know you would not be open.
