    Updating my review. It's been 8 years since I've dined here. My Mr. and I came here when they first opened up. They were only serving burgers at the time. My friend was looking for some vegan options nearby and this popped up on her search. So, I was happy to hear that they expanded their menu. Now they have vegan options, wings, starters, kids menu and shakes. They also have beers on tap. I ordered the vegan coney Bennett on pretzel bun with fries. And my friend ordered the chicken wrappers delight with fries. We came during lunch rush so they were busy. My meal was great. It's been awhile since I've had a vegan hot dog. It was delicious, and so were the fries. I would say I would order it again. My friend definitely liked her meal as well. It was good then and still good now.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    My husband and I stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. The service was excellent and our food was delicious. Little added bonus was the fun atmosphere, the menu is music themed and named after bands or musicians!

    See all

    I couldn't wait to write this review fast enough. I absolutely love this place -- it's officially…read moremy new Cincinnati go-to spot. I don't get to Cincy very often, but I was in town for work and this happened to be the closest bar/restaurant near us downtown that looked decent. Safe to say I got very lucky. The first time I went, I ordered the chili as a starter and a chicken tender platter. And when I tell you I was so happy with both -- I mean it. I love a good chili. I grew up eating it with my grandma, and this one tasted like something she would have made. The cheese and sour cream were perfect. I'm not a huge onion guy, but even those worked well with it. Now here's the catch... it was so good that I literally went back and ordered the exact same thing again. And somehow it was even better the second time. They really outdid themselves on both dishes. One thing I noticed the second time around: I asked for three sauces right away, and they brought them out on a plate with a built-in sauce area. It was actually really convenient -- perfect if you're sharing with people. Now let's talk about the tenders. I'll start by saying I know fried chicken pretty well. Pound for pound, these might honestly be the best chicken tenders in America. The easiest comparison I can give is this: imagine if Cane's and Zaxby's had a kid and named him perfection. That's what these are. Sometimes Cane's can be a little light on seasoning, and sometimes Zaxby's goes a little heavy. These are perfectly in the middle with a great crunch and just the right amount of seasoning. Another thing I really liked about this place is the versatility of it. It feels like the kind of spot where you could do anything -- happy hour with friends, a birthday dinner, a corporate dinner, or even a family night out. I love that kind of diversity in a restaurant. Just 10/10 ambiance. And the staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Honestly, writing this review is making me want to book a flight back to Cincinnati just to eat there again. Wow.

    On a work trip and went with my co-workers for dinner. Was immediately greeted and seated. The game…read morehas just ended so there was a lot of people coming in. It was noisy, but we were able to still have a nice conversation. We got the pretzels with beer cheese and spicy mustard. The pretzel was soft, beer cheesy is gooey and so good, and the spicy mustard packed a nice punch! Will definitely recommend! I got the BRU Burger; medium well cook Taleggio Cheese, Bacon, Tomato Jam, Caramelized Onion, Chopped Lettuce, Mayo I got the tomato jam on the side because I never had it and wasn't sure if I'll like it and asked for no bun. The server was nice to offer more shredded lettuce or leaf of lettuce for my burger. The burger was well seasoned, cooked perfectly yo my liking, and to my surprise the tomato jam was delicious! Only thing is... it doesn't come with any sides, not even fries!! You'll have to add that as a side if you want fries ($2). There are other side options. Service is super good, food is good, place is clean, cocktails made well. Overall, definitely would be back next time I'm here. Sadly, I devoured my deconstructed burger before a photo could be snapped.

    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.
