My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our lunch at Market Street Cafe. We were in town for Memorial Day…read moreWeekend staying at Shawnee Lodge. The servers were attentive and accommodating. It was hard to decide what to order as the menu selection was great. I opted for the half panini half salad combo and got the chicken apricot sandwich with the raspberry romaine salad- hold the onions, add blue cheese. My boyfriend had the Boneyfiddle Club panini and enjoyed it. Both came with plenty of chips and a pickle spear. I wish more restaurants had this kind of menu and vibe! Fresh options that are unique flavor combinations. There are plenty of tables and outdoor sidewalk tables with full service. I'd recommend Market Street Cafe!

I will start by saying the food was good. The service, terrible. We walked in and one table was…read moreoccupied by two ladies. We sat ourselves. We were greeted by a waitress who never gave her name and was quite bothered we were there. Drinks served including two hot coffees which we were charged for every refill?!?!? It was coffee. Nothing special $3.00 black coffee and $3.00 for Every. Single. Refill. Then we broke a glass. The waitress was notified when we accidentally spilled a water and the glass broke. She did nothing. I cleaned it up with a toddler on my lap with zero help from the waitress just more "why are you here? Ruin my life looks". She brought me a rag upon my request. And tossed it to me. Ummmmm ok, I guess I will just clean up this broken glass with a toddler on my lap. The rudeness continued with the only other girl there, presumably the manager, when she irritatingly asked, who broke a glass?, in her best mom voice. We received our food and had to ask for the grilled cheese that was ordered and forgotten in the back, which was delivered after an eye roll and an annoying, "oh, right". The only other time we saw the waitress was when she tossed our checks on the table without saying a word, oh wait we did see the waitress one more time, eating a cookie at the counter where you pay asking if it had nuts in it. A three top walked in after we were done eating so please understand the waitress who couldn't be bothered by customers was not too busy. brought my out of town family here for some local vibes and good food. I will NOT be back. 0/10.... Would NOT recommend. Experience was today, 10/14/2026 around 3:30pm

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!

My husband & I stayed at the Holiday Inn for 3 weeks. We had Oscars for breakfast everyday and it…read morewas divine EVERY TIME. So much flavor, great portions. However, the best part is the waitress Lisa! She is ON it every morning, remembers names, always has a smile on her face, and is a literal beam of sunshine. That woman deserves a raise! Truly the best of the best. As for dinner & the bar, we ordered room service twice and everything was perfect. We got a burger and we fully expected it to be soggy. It was as though we had it freshly served in the restaurant. We did wait quite a while (they said it would be 20 minutes and we waited 50), but they quickly called and explained they'd had a rush. We called around 6:30pm so it was understandable. Truly the best food and service. We were never disappointed. Drinks are fantastic and averagely priced. You can't miss with Oscar's!

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.

Was never pressured to order. You order at the counter then go grab a table if you're staying in. Or you can get it to go. Either way. I love the chalkboard menu. They have your basic coffee blends, but also have several flavored options. They also have a large list of smoothies. Very good bagel breakfast sandwiches. It was cooked perfectly and taste really well. I would definitely come back.

Darren and the gang at the Scioto Ribber aren't running a restaurant. They're preserving a national…read moretreasure with a smoker attached. I'll give you 20 top reasons this is why I believe this is Ohios best steak house : 1. Darren welcomes you with such casual hospitality that five minutes after sitting down you start wondering if you've accidentally been adopted. 2. The Scioto Ribber is so unpretentious that if a New York food critic walked in wearing a $3,000 suit, the steak would still be the most impressive thing in the room. 3. Some steakhouses sell atmosphere. The Ribber sells steak and lets the atmosphere happen naturally. 4. The menu has less ego than most restaurant owners. 5. The steak arrives looking like it just won a bar fight and a beauty contest on the same day. 6. Every bite tastes like somebody figured out how to barbecue a memory. 7. The char-smoked flavor is so unique that if you served it blindfolded, half the table would think they were eating at a ranch in Montana and the other half would think they died and went to beef heaven. 8. Fancy steakhouses spend millions trying to create authenticity. The Ribber accidentally has it. 9. The wait staff are professionals disguised as neighbors. 10. The service is so genuine that when they ask how you're doing, it feels like they actually want the answer. 11. Other restaurants train employees. The Ribber seems to raise them correctly. 12. The place has more Ohio character than a Reds game, a church festival, and a Fourth of July parade combined. 13. Some restaurants are experiences. The Ribber is an institution with mashed potatoes. 14. You don't leave feeling like a customer. You leave feeling like you attended a family reunion where everybody liked you. 15. The steaks aren't cooked. They're respectfully introduced to fire. 16. The outdoor wood-fired grill does things to beef that should probably require a permit. 17. If a steak could earn a blue-collar PhD, this would be it. 18. The flavor isn't subtle. It walks up, shakes your hand, and tells you exactly where it came from. 19. Most restaurants want to impress you. The Ribber doesn't care. That's why it does. 20. The value is so good that halfway through dinner you start looking around for hidden cameras because surely somebody forgot to charge enough. Bonus Five : 21. Darren runs the place with such affection and quiet pride that you get the feeling he'd rather lose money than let a guest have a mediocre meal. 22. In an era where every restaurant wants to reinvent dining, the Scioto Ribber has spent decades perfecting the radical idea of serving great food by great people. 23. The steaks have more smoke than a political debate but leave a far better taste in your mouth. 24. This isn't just Portsmouth history. It's Ohio history with a baked potato. 25. The Scioto Ribber proves that you don't need valet parking, mood lighting, imported marble, or a sommelier named Sebastian. Sometimes all you need is wood fire, great beef, hardworking people, and an owner who treats guests like family. The two blonds behind the bar are so sharp that hemophiliacs have to file a restraining order The Scioto Ribber is what happens when Americana, hospitality, common sense, and a wood-fired grill get together and decide to show the rest of the restaurant industry how it's done.

Scioto Ribber is definitely good for the area. Friendly service, huge portions, and the kind of…read moreplace where your plate arrives looking like it's preparing for winter. 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.

Anytime I'm home visiting family in Ohio and we need a cake for a birthday, anniversary or homegoing service this is my go to. On this visit I needed both an anniversary and a birthday cake. I called at the beginning of the week and placed my order for pickup Friday afternoon. When I stopped by Friday to pick up the cakes they were both ready. I always let them be creative with the cake decoration and only provide the words to place on the cake. The cakes looked beatiful and smelled divine! Needless to say the small cake was gone in no time and there may be two pieces left of the quarter sheet cake which I'm sure will be eaten today;) You can request a half white half chocolate cake so all your party goers will be happy! The cakes were moist and the frosting (buttercream) was sweet, just what you expect in a great cake;) There is a convenient drive-thru on the side of the building. Be sure if you go inside to wear your mask as there a posted signs on the door. I would absolutely recommend this bakery for all your cake or cupcake needs!

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.
