It's a great spot if you enjoy live entertainment, but it can make it a little difficult to have a conversation. The food was good I had the mushroom and Swiss burger, and I'd order it again. The pretzel was good to share for the table. Just be aware that some of their popular items, like the beet sandwich and even the fries, can sell out. You order at the bar, but the staff brings the food to your table, which is convenient. It gets pretty hot inside, especially when it's busy. Not really their fault though with the heatwave. I would just need to bring water if I come back.

Don't be fooled by this- definitely one of the most authentic and best tasting German style meals I've had in a while! They offer seasonal dishes as well as standards. We tried the Jäger schnitzel and the stuffed schnitzel- both with spaetzle as the side dish. The schnitzel was huge and hand dipped and fried perfectly. The spaetzle was also yummy. They serve a nice selection of draft German beers as well as some local ones. We decided to split an apple strudel- also scrumptious! Definitely recommend this if you want to eat German in the Cincinnati area.

A Little Piece of Bavaria Hidden in Cincinnati (and Yes...Even a German King Approves.)…read more As the 98 th King of Cincinnati Kolping Schützenfest, I recently joined a dozenn fellow Kings to welcome our newest member, King Ralph, at Kantine Biergarten Eatery. Understand something: You don't invite a room full of German Kings to a German restaurant unless you're either extremely confident...or completely out of your mind.. Germans can be wonderfullly warm people. We can also become unpaid food critics the moment someone says, "authentic German cooking." Thankfully, Peter had absolutely nothing to worry about. From the first bite it became obvious this wasn't "German-inspired." This was German. The seasoning isn't loud or gimmicky. It's what German cooking should be: layered, balanced, savory, comforting, and tasting like someone has been perfecting these recipes since before Cincinnati had streetcars. Every spice knows its job. Nothing screams. Everything sings. Our group ordered nearly everything on the menu: Schnitzel Wiener Art, Kässspatzen, Bratwurst, Currywurst, Leberkäsee, pretzels, potato salad, red cabbage, desserts. If it had a German name Americans struggle to pronounce, somebody ordered it. The remarkable part? Nobody said, "Mine was okay." Instead it was, "You've got to try this!"..."No, YOU have to try THIS!"..."Wait...who ordered THAT?" For a table full of Germans who are admittedly a bit snooty about German food, that's about as close to a standing ovation as you'll ever get. Peter is one of the great pleasures of visiting. His accent is still gloriously German, thick enough that within thirty seconds you're convinced your passport should be stamped before dessert, but his English is excellent, and his enthusiasm for food, beer, and hospitality is contagious...I'm still recovering from the joyful experience. Then there's Donna. She somehow manages to be hostesss, bartender, server, diplomat, and air traffic controller depending on what the room needs. She has a timeless elegance that reminds you how genuine hospitality used to be. Friendly, quick with a smile, completely unflappable, and somehow making controlled chaos look effortless. The entire staff deserves recognition. Everyone was upbeat, genuinely happy, and seemed to enjoy working there. That kind of atmosphere can't be faked. The beer selection deserves special mention. Traditional German imports share tap space with outstanding local German-style brews, including Hofbräuhaus Newport favorites. Whether you're craving a Helles, Märzen, Dunkel, Pilsner, or Weissbier, there's something for you. Do yourself a favor and order one of the giant German beer mugs. Life is simply better when you're drinking from something that could double as emergency home-defense equipment. The setting is exactly what it should be. This isn't polished, corporate, Instagram-engineered authenticity. It's relaxed. It's comfortable. It's Cincinnati. It's Bavaria. More than half the seating is outdoors, conversations linger, strangers become table mates, and nobody seems interested in rushing you out the door. One tiny suggestion, and I truly mean tiny. The century-old building has wonderful character, but it occasionally carries a faint musty aroma. Peter, invest in an OdorStop commercial ozone generator for occasional after-hours use. It's an inexpensive fix that would make an already outstanding experience even better. But that's like criticizing the Mona Lisa because the frame needs dusting. If you want white tablecloths and waiters whispering French words they don't understand, go somewhere else. If you want authentic German food prepared by an actual German who refuses to compromise, outstanding beer, wonderful people, fair prices, true Gemütlichkeit, and one of Cincinnati's best hidden gems, go to Kantine. You'll leave full. You'll leave happy. And if you're anything like our group of German Kings, you'll already be planning your next visit before you've backed out of the parking lot. Prost, Peter and Donna. You promised us Germany. You delivered Bavaria. Did i mention that this place is literally hidden away from any and all drive by and walking traffic. It is a s secret spot in old-Cincinnati.

First off, the…read morelocation is awesome - right on Cincinnati's Iconic Riverfront, just steps away from Great American Ballpark. The atmosphere and vibes get a 10/10. The restaurant spans two floors, with a large outdoor seating area that is covered. The menu is quite expansive. I tried a buffalo chicken wrap and it was delicious. The beer was also good, and they have a happy hour from 3-6pm on weekdays which makes it even better. If you're looking for something to do during the week, they have live music as part of "Rockin' the Roebling Summer Concert Series" which takes place every Thursday (May 21 - September 10) from 6-10 PM, on the grass area right off the outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place!

Great location, good for groups, food was just ok…read more Convenient for the Reds game with great views of the river. The wine selection needs a lot of help, but I guess they are know for their beer. Ciders were also just ok. As long as you just want beer - you are good to go. Food: We had the fried pickles, which were delicious and a large plate! We also had the sausage platter and that was ok, but in all fairness... we just got back from Germany so it was a high bar to reach. Staff at the bar were disappointing as they didn't even acknowledge that we were there... so we switched to a table and got better service. Overall, it was just ok. Would I go back? Probably not... there were so many other restaurants in the surrounding area.

We got there at around 9:10 and were first offered a seat inside but it was so loud in there the hostess couldn't hear what we were saying and vice versa, so we got a spot on the patio. Our sever was very nice, but service was VERY slow for a Sunday night. She told us they were busy the night before because of a conference and they were still in town that day, so the bar inside was busy. After ordering our drinks it took about 15 minutes to get them, and she didn't even take our food order when she came back despite us being ready. We waited, no problem. We ordered a 'Spice Bag' and it was decent but took about 25 minutes to get to us despite being potatoes and onions in a bag. For 40 minutes we waited for our food and when it came out it was terrible. I ordered the Fish and Chips and Caesar Salad to share and both were mediocre at best and inedible at worst. If you come here: DO NOT GET THE FISH AND CHIPS. They were battered nicely, but aside from that the fish didn't feel fully cooked and tasted like nothing, with a hint of dirty water. The tartar sauce seemed homemade, but didn't have any flavour. The coleslaw was boring and watery, with no flavour. Our server never checked up on us during the meal, so I never got the chance to ask for something else, so I was just stuck with the fries it came with. I know what good fish and chips should taste like and it's not that. Others ordered the curry and the wings and seemed to enjoy it, which is nice. However, 30 minutes after placing our order we were told that the kitchen "ran out of rice" and they asked us what we would like to replace it. When the curry came out, it was missing the naan but again, server never came to check on us so we didn't notice until the end of our meal. Overall, it's a cute place that feels Irish, but service is slow and food is terrible. Our server was lovely and it wasn't her fault that she was busy with tables, but management should be doing more when they know there's a conference in town to set their servers up for success.
