    A really interesting place for the rock music lover. I had the Pearl Jam burger. It was big, juicy and really messy, but delicious. My daughter had the Rob Zomwich, which she said was very good. The place was clean and comfortable; however, there is a step out front that would make it inaccessible to some people. I do recommend the place to music lovers and others too!

    Was in Northside and decided to try this place out. Never been but I will be back. You order at the counter and they were very helpful. Small location but loved the decor. I had the Slaytar and it was messy but very tasty. I loved the pretzel bun with this sandwich which helped it stay together. The fries were homemade and spiced well. I loved the fries. My wife had the Grateful Shred. She's not a person who likes spicy food and she was told it wasn't really spicy so she kept it on her sandwich. She was glad she did as the flavor went with the pulled pork. This was a messy sandwich as well. They have napkin dispensers at the tables which was used a lot. She also had the shake and she said she would get it again. Overall it was a good trip and we will be back and try other sandwiches.

    This The Cranberries salad.  I don't usually take food pics, but this was too beautiful

    It's been awhile since I've been here, but it was a solid meal again. The staff were friendly, our food was out quickly and was delicious. I got the slayter with fries and loved both. I really liked the seasoning on the fries. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Great lunch or dinner spot!

    An interesting neighborhood place. The names of the plates and drinks are music related. The Mac & Cheese with Goetta and local Potato Chips is memorable and a reason to return. The Milkshakes are thick and tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    What a fun place with great rock puns!! I was afraid it might be too loud to visit with its rock theme but the music was played at a good level--loud enough to enjoy but still easily talk to your friends without shouting. Burgers and shakes were great, I got a Pearl Jam with some Britney Spears to share at the table. Also a Flan Halen (and this was my only quibble--why is a strawberry shake called Flan Halen? This sounds like it should be a caramel shake). Everything was delicious and I enjoyed how hard they went with the theme. Servers were cool with good senses of humor and very helpful.

    This is such a cool place! You can't go wrong with a metal and rock themed restaurant with appropriately named menu items. The puns are great. It's so creative and they've got great rock memorabilia and art on the tables. This is one of my brother's favorite places and I can see why! I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon between going to the American Sign Museum and the Newport Aquarium. I got the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sweet Cherry Pie milkshake. Both were amazing! The milkshake is a special for March 2024 but I hope they make it a permanent menu item. The food was incredible - I was with my boyfriend and brother and they both agreed Tickle Pickle was one of the best meals that they had recently. The price is really good for the quality, as well. I hope to stop in again whenever I am in Cincinnati!

    Really great place to stop at if you are spending time in Northside. Extensive menu with hilarious puns. Local ingredients are always amazing to see! Service was good - quick and to the point. Definitely an edgy and inclusive place. Need to come back at night and see the vibes with a bloody mary in hand. I got the Nom petty with fries and it was very good. My boyfriend got the meatallica (I think) regardless that one was fire! Milkshake was diner style and they had a few options to pick from. For a place called tickle pickle I would love to have my burger served with a sliced pickle.

    Tickle Pickle was our last stop while in Cincinnati before we flew back to Chicago. We heard really good feedback .... and my gosh they shredded it! They some amazing options as well as some vegan options out in the crowd! I really liked the theme of various music themed menu. They even had some kick ass cocktails. I went with the Rob Zombwich.... and added the impossible burger and a side of fries. I had to make sure and not pass up the Oreo shake. Service was pretty fast ... enjoyed checking out the artwork while waiting. When the food came out i was impressed. The oreo shake was excellent. Then took my first bite in my Zombwich and really really like it... good heat on the spicy side burger was so good!!!! i liked the fries and good crunch and great flavor. The tickle pickle blew me away... damn good and a must visit!

    We tried Heyday for the first time today. First off I have to say the service was really great…read morethere. Like surprisingly good. And their burgers were delicious. The one I tried tasted like a Frish's big boy. I loved it. Also enjoyed their tater tots a lot. Definitely going back to try more things there.

    Kari's Rating 6/10-only because I like a thicker burger and I knew this was a smash burger place…read more TLDR: -Service was relatively fast -Double is the standard -Fries are not greasy and well seasoned Carried out some burgers because my sister lives in Cincinnati and what a cute little place it was! They definitely the classic burger proud. Double smash burgers are the typical go to orders as it also has a much better portion of meat to bun than the singles. The burgers are so crispy that when you take a bite you get a hint of meat in every bite. I think I prefer a thicker burger but I also knew this was a smash burger place. We ordered burgers 40 minutes before close and we had to wait a good 10 minutes but it was worth it as everything came hot and meaty. They asked if we wanted the cheese sauce on the side and it was perfect for the fries. The fries were soft and pillowy on the inside and perfectly seasoned. The place was cute and had simple decorations including a sign that says, "Parental advisory: Explicit content occasionally plays here." Although I didn't hear any when going there! They also have pop and a shot of alcohol for $5. They also have a taffy counter under the payment counter. I think it was an alright place, not my favorite but it was a good smash burger. For the price-it was a fair good burger.

    Stopped in recently for dinner after a Bengals game and had a great time. If you're leaving the…read morestadium area it's a 20 minute walk with some uphill, but well worth the trek to get ahead of the crowds. The bars near the stadium were mobbed. The seating is family style with long tables. You can order via QR codes (meh) or walk up to the side of the bar for food and drink. The manager came around and introduced himself to everyone and was all over the place. Helping in the kitchen, bar, cleaning up etc.. He's definitely an asset because he didn't disappear as the rush started coming in. The inside is nicely decorated and I was digging their Voodoo/skull theme. We settled in and watched the 4pm NFL game on one of the large TV's while chatting with some disappointed Bengals fans and locals. Beer wise they had a nice selection of classic Voodoo brews (we used to get them a lot in the Philly area several years ago), a balance of styles and some newer brews I'd never heard of. If you enjoy the dark side of beer the Where Our Secrets Go Imperial Stout was delicious and thankfully more along the lines of the traditional style Impy Stout. I had an IPA that I can't remember the name of, but it had a nice Belgian yeast/hop twist to it. My son enjoyed their root beer. Food wise the Jumbo Chicken Wings, roasted in house hit the spot, I highly recommend them. I added their Good Vibes BBQ "Sawce", but you can get them dry rubbed or chose from several other "Sawces". The wings were big with fresh meat and the sauce was great. The Pub pretzel we ordered was huge and the good vibes beer cheese complimented it well. The Mr. Pickles Fried Pickles were also a great choice for an app. They were a big portion. My friend had the Chili Mac and my son ordered the Lil Mashburgers - 2 little smashburgers oozing with cheddar & chippies off the kids menu. We ate, had a couple of beers and enjoyed our dinner at Voodoo before we explored more of downtown Cincy. I'll be honest I wanted to avoid BrewDog and Voodoo and experience home grown Cincinnati breweries, but we were really happy we stopped at Voodoo. Thanks guys you earned a fourth star for great friendly service from the manager and bartenders!!

We ordered extra hot wings, and the sauce was great but to make it "extra hot" they just added a metric ton of hot pepper or some hot seasoning, and it was nearly inedible. They were extremely over sauced. The fries were okay. My dry rub wings were good. It's basically self serve, you order on the website via QR code. They brought our food all at once due to that, to include the appetizer. Service was quick but we only saw our "waiter" once to deliver our food. If we had needed refills, we wouldn't have gotten them. We didn't even get silverware and only got one appetizer plate. The ambiance was nice, it's a great looking facility. I probably won't be back though, unfortunately. Just not great enough to bother going again. We did have one beer off the draft list that was good. The dragons milk.

    I came here for a work dinner on a Saturday and was greatly impressed by this place…read more For a brewery, you would not expect the food to be as good as it was, but boy it was. I am still dreaming about the pork belly skewers. We had a reservation for our party, so we were seated quickly. The inside of this old church is very sleek, modern, and clean. It is more upscale in feeling than other breweries in the area. We ordered the pork belly skewers, cheese curds, squash croquettes, and jalapeno poppers as appetizers for the table. The pork belly skewers are probably one of the greatest things I have ever eaten, as i said above. The squash croquettes are so different and so good as well. The cheese curds are standard and sure to please a crowd. And lastly, the jalapeno poppers were not for me. They stuff theirs with chicken, not cream cheese, and that flavor combo with the super smokey bacon wrapped around it did nothing for me. If you are more of a carnivore though you would probably love it. I got the chicken marinara sandwich and split a side of the brussels sprouts with a friend. The sandwich was huge! It looked much larger than some of the other plates people got. The marinara had great flavor, the cheese was fresh, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I was so stuffed from my appetizers that I only ate half the sandwich. The sprouts were also very well done and the cheese/sauce on them was so so good. We ended the meal, even though we were all so full, with their citrus olive oil cake. Now some people find that name off-putting, but let me tell you as someone who loves baking, this cake is one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life. It is so light, with the perfect amount of citrus, and the fresh whipped cream is so delicious. It truly is a perfect dessert and I would go back only for that. Overall we had a great dinner here and left so stuffed that we all went home to lay down. The beer is also good but I would go for the food before anything else. If you are downtown and need a great meal, do not hesitate to come here!

    Mellotone does it right. First off, unbelievable ambiance inside a historical church in OTR…read more We visited during brunch before a Reds game. The service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the chicken and waffles. Amazing! My son who is super picky devoured his share. The other dishes we ordered were equally delicious. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her espresso martini. I was really wanting to try their Bloody Mary, but they had ran out over the busy 4th of July weekend. I tried one of their craft beers. I believe it was called the big red. It was served ice cold and very good. Mellotone is worth a try if you have never been. We will be back soon to try that Bloody Mary and more chicken and waffles.

To start this place is a "sit down" but you have to order at the bar and they bring it to you. We were a tad thrown off with that since they literally had waiters and people roaming around, didn't make sense to me. But that was just the start! We decided to order nachos and a pretzel to start the meal. The pretzel was disgusting, hard and lacking flavor and the $14 nachos was a side plate with a small portion of nachos on it. I asked the server what was with the size of the nachos and he said he though they were normal. They aren't, you go to a normal bar and for $14 comes out a platter with nachos that are loaded. Then our mains came out, my wife's salad was gross, lacking flavor and with dry chicken and my burger was decent. For $90 this meal should have been WAYYY better. We left feeling very disappointed and will definitely not be coming back.
