Taylor R.

Paid my first visit to the Turf Club recently and will definitely be back soon. This was the perfect hole in the wall pub vibe with fast and friendly service. The food portions were very generous and the menu offered an almost overwhelming variety but you can't go wrong. The interior was also very unique - it is covered in signs and lights.

Bacon cheeseburger with onion rings
Melissa G.

Today's lunch was provided by The Turf Club. One of the main reasons I like this spot is because it's old school. Let's get out the good Ol' order pad and actually take someone's order vs point and click on a device. The building itself hasn't changed, still small, neon signs still hanging and burgers still slinging off the grill. We ordered two burgers. I personally can only eat half because they are huge. Full of flavor, you can taste them and it's a perfect balance of beef to seasoning. I ordered mine medium well and it was cooked to perfection. The toppings were fresh and crunchy. For the second burger it was cooked well done. It too was cooked perfectly but the added bacon could have been a bit crispier. You could tell it was pre-cooked and refired....it just needed a few more minutes on the grill. Fries and onion rings are delicious and crispy. Prices were a little steep, the bill was almost $50 but, thanks to the Cincy Saver app, it knocked it down to under $20. Worth the stop for this Cincinnati Iconic restaurant.

Fun place on our baseball stadium tour Visit if your in Cincinnati Giant burgers ! Handmade onion rings ! Yumm !

Bacon grilled cheese with tomato soup, grilled corn, & fries. Apple cider martini (martini of the month)
Jackson W.

The Turf Club is an absolute standout, and from the moment you walk in the staff makes you feel right at home. The food alone is worth the trip. I had the bacon grilled cheese with tomato soup and fries alongside the grilled corn, and every single bite delivered. The kind of comfort food that's executed with real care and intention. The drink menu is equally impressive with a rotating selection of monthly specialty martinis that give you a reason to keep coming back and try something new, on top of an already stellar lineup of cocktails. Everything is crafted well and goes down smooth. Great food, great drinks, and a staff that genuinely seems to love what they do. The Turf Club is the full package and deserves a spot at the top of your list.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Skip and the crew!

Everything! Food is amazing, service is excellent, and ambience is over the top! Try everything or something different each time! My dad's favorite restaurant!

Filet mignon burger
Molly L.

Back for my usual fave!!! The Filet Mignon Burger, had a first timer with me & he enjoyed the same burger as well!! Why this place does not have a 5 star is beyond me!!! My guess is people DO NOT stick to the simplicity of the burger. If you try to add too much sh** to it your not going to like it !!! So I have some pointers: 1) Do NOT add sh** to it !! Leave burger the way it is! 2) Get your Burger Medium Rare 3) Get the Fries cheap a** they are worth it

Custom burger. Burgundy wine sauce, grilled onions, mozzarella
Sammi M.

Haven't been to The Turf Club in very long. It exceeded expectations! Everything was great. Great service when we sat at the bar. I customized mine. The onion rings were amazing.

Mushroom Goat burger
Dave P.

Small place near the downtown area and the Ohio River. Super friendly and helpful staff made the meal memorable as they chatted us up and offered suggestions for the menu and even where to park downtown by the Taft Theater. The room had many old beer signs from various periods that gave the place a cool Neon glow. The food is delicious comfort food but spun up with interesting combinations. I had the Mushroom Goat burger - a half pound burger with portobello mushrooms and goat cheese and red pepper sauce. The burger was huge and cooked perfectly to medium rare. The jalapeño cheese app was also great Good beer and wine list. Full bar. Definitely on my list of places to revisit when in Cincinnati.

8.5 oz. burgers with tempura onion rings.
Kellie C.

My husband and I decided to go to The Turf Club for lunch since we hadn't been there for months. The service was amazing. The burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly. The only issue were the tempura onion rings. They tasted very good, but they were very oily. I had the 8.5 ounce burger with Swiss and the burgundy mushroom sauce. My husband had the 8.5 ounce burger with Swiss and all the veggies with a side of the FogHorn LegHorn sauce. If you love a divey restaurant with a casual vibe and neon galore, you'll enjoy The Turf Club. Guy Fieri did.

Lori R.

The best burger I have ever had! Cooked perfectly and you definitely have to get the onion rings! The service is amazing, Becky is the best server I've ever had. I am definitely driving two hours down here to eat.! They definitely have something really good here. The beef is local cooked perfectly and oh my God I ate a half pound burger and I never can finish one.!

The crab cakes are alright.
Eddie N.

The Turf Club may have changed owners and the decor outside is different but I still stand by my earlier review. The new owner is always there and is a very nice guy. The staff is still top notch and if I lived in Cincinnati this would be the best burger in the world without question.

Mexican burger and fries
Lisa L.

Very interesting place that we found out about because of their festoon Diners, Drive in's and Dives. Glad we went to experience it. Unique atmosphere, really nice service and the food was interesting and delicious.

The food was great, the martinis were even better! I will say Bobby Jo made our experience amazing. She really seemed like she enjoyed her job and was very informative, talkative, and friendly. This a great place for a burger and an affordable martini. Highly recommend Bobby Jo's burger and the banana martini!

Ask the Community - The Turf Club

I thought this place was rumored to be closed or closing?? Is it open?

It was sold to a new owner. He comes with many years of experience in the restaurant business. My husband and I have dined there since he took over and had a great experience.

Is it handicap accessible?

I was there August 2018, not accessible at this time.

Whats the best time for a group of 6 or more?

Get there early when they open or Sundays can be easier to get in, there's always a line

I will do this in the words of Henry Ford himself:…read more "The grease in this place is of the good kind... the kind that smells of honest work and assembly lines, not the rancid oils you find in those fly-by-night lunch counters. I found myself halfway through the signature burger, marveling at the assembly--not a bolt out of place, everything in its proper station and the lettuce crisp as a cold-rolled steel sheet. A man appreciates a system that functions without chatter or delay. Sitting here near the assembly plant's ghost, I couldn't help but admire the vintage fittings; they've managed to capture the spirit of progress without the clutter of modern inefficiency. My wife has a constitution that demands specific care, and the server handled her requirements with the precision of a master machinist, wasting no time on unnecessary pleasantries but delivering exactly what was ordered. The restrooms, surprisingly, have a sense of humor, though humor is a luxury I generally leave to the salesmen. It is a good price for an honest meal, constructed with a respect for speed that would make a production line foreman nod in approval. It is a well-oiled operation and I shall return to see if they can maintain this level of output." And normal: From the moment i stepped in... the atmosphere hit me like a wave. It was a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication with antiques that told stories of a bygone era. The restrooms while quirky, added a unique touch to the experience. What truly stood out was the service. It was swift and efficient, with our server going above and beyond to accommodate my wife's allergies. Grant our server did amazing job ! I ordered the Ford signature burger, and it was an absolute masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the quality was exceptional. The presentation was top-notch, and the speed at which it arrived was impressive. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and i couldn't be more satisfied with my dining experience. Overall, Ford's Garage is a must-visit for anyone looking for a high-quality, efficient, and enjoyable meal. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is truly special. i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food and wants to experience a unique dining experience. - Atmosphere: 9/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 10/10 - Value: 8/10 - Would Return: Yes.

Our server was a new hire but friendly. The decor of the place is fun and on theme. I ordered a chicken dish and it was flavorful and a large portion. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer selection but the portion size for his fries seemed small, especially with the pricing.

As for the food, I ordered a flight of tacos - the Alderman, the Gangsta, and the Yoda. They were all delicious. The service was top notch and they kept my water glass full which is always tough to do with me! I'll definitely be back and hopefully they'll have the heat on next time!

Happy Hour at Agave & Rye. First time dining during happy hour. I feel a margarita coming my way!…read moreIt's 5 o'clock somewhere! Oh, yeah, duh, it's 5 o'clock here right now! I ordered up some Epic tacos to help force these margaritas down. All of the tacos were ok. I tried one from each category: Pork, chicken, beef, and seafood. So my conclusion is...they all pretty much tasted the same. How is that possible? I honestly think I like the more simple tacos. After a while all the crazy taco combinations just become too much stuffed into a single taco. I know! I know! I'm a sucker for the simple, delicious tacos. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my meal. But I can't tell if that is more of the margaritas talking or if I really enjoyed it. I guess we will never really know. I do know, this margarita would have tasted better with some friends. Bring your friends when you come.

But I found myself there last week and was actually pretty surprised at how good it was. Service was excellent - he was training a new server and he was definitely the one who should be training new servers. He was attentive without being pushy. I'm a nut for French Onion soup and this one is legit (see picture). This was the pick three deal with soup/salad/sandwich. I like a meal that ends up with leftovers so this was a solid deal. It's not the most charming of ambiance because we sat outside, so basically had a view of the parking lot. Inside might have been better but there's only like three days in Cincinnati where you can sit outside comfortably so we ended up on the sidewalk. I don't know if I'd necessarily make it part of my rotation, but I was impressed with the service, the food, and the pricing, so I'd definitely throw it out there as an option if I'm in the area.

The Mac and cheese was extremely salty though. Have always had good food at this location and pretty consistent service.

We came to Seasons 52 for Thanksgiving lunch. We had a 1:00 pm reservation…read more We arrived a little before 1; the place was packed! We were quickly seated and waited for our third. Once we were all in our places with bright shiny faces, we all ordered the thanksgiving special meal. It included just about everything you can imagine being served at Thanksgiving. Three pieces of white meat turkey, which was pretty tender. I small pile of dark meat pieces. Mashed potatoes and gravy, with the gravy covering the turkey and the potatoes. There was dressing, sweet potato casserole (?), green beans and cranberry sauce. It was a LOT of tasty food. Nothing was extraordinary, but it was all good. Oh, we ordered and I swear to goodness the food arrived moments later. I am sure they were moving a lot of these plates and had a process for quick turnaround, but I had to wonder if our plates had been sitting for a while. I suppose if they were it wasn't for long. Nothing was cold or congealed. It seems like their process was working. The meal came with a mini cake type thing in a jar. There were lots of options. Mark and I opted for the special pumpkin with ginger and Jen had s'mores chocolate. The pumpkin one was absolutely delicious. Jen let us try the chocolate one and let's just say I was very glad I opted for pumpkin. When the bill arrived the desserts were added on separately. I mentioned they should be included to our server, who said he would check. Now... it seems unlikely we were his first customers of the day and it seems odd that he would have the desserts added separately. He did check; I saw him. I also saw the person he was checking with shake her head 'yes'. He reran the checks without the desserts. I will say it was nice to have a traditional thanksgiving meal without the traditional thanksgiving fuss. Because the food was average at best and because we were initially charged for desserts that were supposed to be included in the price, this experience comes in with a solid three stars.
