The Scioto Ribber is a destination restaurant! People literally drive for hundreds of miles just to…read morecome here for the ribs, steaks, and chops. No kidding. This is one of the great steak & rib joints in Ohio. The rustic atmosphere of the restaurant adds to the ambience, and there is an excellent collection of memorabilia on display. The meat smokers are outside to the rear of the restaurant and worth a look when you come to visit. It's an amazing process. Portions are substantial. I have posted some photos of menus for your review. The interior consist of meandering rooms and a bar for seating. I have never found reservations to be necessary. And frankly, I'm not sure if they even take reservations. Carry out is available and when I come for lunch or dinner, I'll usually order an extra meal to take home. The food is that good. It all travels and refrigerates reasonably well.

I've heard people call it "the best steak I've ever had," which mostly made me wonder... where else have y'all been eating steak? Feels like the philosophy here is: "Why focus on quality when we can simply give you enough meat to feed a youth baseball team?" That said -- the service is great, the atmosphere is classic local favorite energy, and you will absolutely not leave hungry. Cheers to you, want rush back-but may find myself here again.

Spotless and Stylish The place itself was clean and decked out with some Halloween decor. FOOD COMA ALERT Now, the food - oh man, it was THE highlight! My mom and I went for the wings, but hers were SMOKED, and let me tell you, they had FLAVOR! BBQ goodness, the sauce warm and just right. We also dug into some awesome appetizers: stuffed mushrooms were a mom-fave, and those cheese curds? Game-changers with that caramel sauce! Pleasure All Around All in all, we were SUPER pleased with the grub. It hit the spot, and then some! If you're looking for a spot with great eats and top-shelf service, this place checks the boxes. Obviously we don't try everything but the wings did hit the spot. We will return.

They have some really good seasonal beers and while most the fam did a sampler, hub and I opted for just a pint of what sounded the best. I got the pumpkin ale and he got a darker amber beer. Beers were really good. We decided to get the sliders with just meat and cheese and the buffalo strips. Burgers were solid, chicken was not homemade and the fries were your average fry..the buffalo sauce was the star...very good. They have only a few bathrooms in the joint and they were in need of serious attention. It was a disaster to have to take my elderly mom into a nasty bathroom like that....I am hoping they fix this. Wait staff was very good!

Walking into the pub and heading to the back room where the bar is, it was hard not to reminisce of my time spent in Ireland. The restaurant has a vintage Irish pub decor and a friendly atmosphere. The perfect place to go spend time with family and friends. We sat at the bar and our bartender (Sandy) was absolutely fantastic! She was accommodating, humorous, and just made you feel like you were apart of her family. She made a really great Moscow Mule and a tasty version of a Long Island iced tea I've never had before. I hope to go again soon to try some more food varieties, but on this stop, I had the shepherds pie and was able to try some of the hummus and pita bread. Both I highly recommend and worth giving it a go. I look forward to my next visit! Stop on by and give Port city pub some love.

I had wanted to eat here for quite some time but had never been able to time it right when they…read morewere open. I managed to catch them open this evening and I was not disappointed. They have a pretty good sized menu with enough choices to suit most anyone. I had the fish and chips, the fish was fried crisp and was tender, mild and flaky. Our server was excellent, he checked back often to see if we needed anything or to make sure our food was good. There was live music that was starting as we got seated, the performer was very good. The restaurant seemed clean and it was big enough to be comfortable and not too big so it was sort of a cozy dining experience. I will definitely stop in again if I'm at the right place and the right time!!

It's a diner vibe, everyone's going a mile a minute & it's just a fun place to be. If you're lucky the owner (Shug) will be on site to check on everyone's "virginity".........1st timers are virgins here. You can try to avoid the crowds, but even if you do they'll be frying up hundreds of to-go orders. It's worth the wait in any case.

Stomach filling Italian food for the soul! I'm usually not an Italian food lover because red sauce…read moredoesn't like me, but I very much enjoy the Alfredo sauce here! It's a nice little restaurant, staff is friendly, and the food is very tasty. I typically like to order the stuffed shells with Alfredo sauce, recently I started adding Italian sausage with it for a little bit or zing and protein. The portions are typically huge and worth the price! The only feedback I can give that stopped this from being a 5* review is that often they are missing ingredients for certain dishes. Last time it was Caesar dressing, one time it was the Italian sausage, and the list goes on. They have a chalk board at the front to show you what items/ingredients they are out of for the day. Regardless, there are enough great recipes that you can absolutely find something that will be just as great.

Our waiter may have been the grandson of one of the owners (not sure). Even though he was young he was very engaging and worked hard to please us. The menu was extensive with every Italian dish imaginable, including pizza. We ordered meat ravioli on spaghetti with homemade red sauce and angel hair pasta with little neck clams in white wine sauce. We had a house salad and the meals came with their homemade cheese bread and marinara. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ate every bite (no leftovers to take home)! We highly recommend Belini Cucina. Wish we lived closer so we could go there often!

I wasn't going to look for another restaurant in Portsmouth so I just ate downstairs. Boy, was I lucky! The food at Oscars was absolutely incredible. First, I had a Manhattan prepared by Christie. Top-notch. Service was incredible. Then I had a steak kebab dinner and I have to tell you it is the best kebab steak I ever had. Perfectly prepared vegetables were so fresh and moist. On top of a bed of rice it could not have been better. I cannot recommend this place Hylie enough. Again I was here because I'm in the hotel and I didn't wanna travel around Portsmouth to find a place. I'm glad I stayed here. I highly recommend this restaurant.
