Erik Rowley

The best restaurant in Cincy and the premier place to dine in the OTR district! The chicken and waffles are phenomenal. The sweetness of the waffle and slight spice of the chicken are a perfect pair!

Anna Hider

The chicken and waffles are, of course, great (don't be scared to mix the hot sauce and syrup ) but they also make good sandwiches with the waffles too

Joe Bohn

I got the brunch burger and it was amazing. I always get the chicken and waffles but wanted to try something new. Fantastic burger with the waffle and fried egg . You can't go wrong!

Joe Taulbee

Always crowded , but the food is very good. Your best bet is to belly up to the bar or you can have the host text you when your table is ready which is nice b/c you can explore OTR while you wait

Serious Eats

The Vine Street bistro location offers indoor and outdoor seating , a full French-American menu and long list of in-house pastries made in an open kitchen , surrounding a communal table .

Kelsey Sparks

Went for the first time and loved the chicken and waffle . It will probably be my go-to for many visits to come. My husband got the McWaffle and really liked it too. Great food and service!

Maria D

The chicken and waffles is dish is very good! The chicken especially is seasoned well and has a nice crunch with just enough heat! I'm just not a fan of their waffles ! You can get the waffles in Cbus!

Leah Warner

Chai Tea Latte is beyond heavenly. You can't go wrong with brunch here! Everything is delicious.

Jannis B.

First time here and had the 'Nati'. It was delicious! Just wish the crepe itself was a bit smaller or more ingredients stuffed in. Son had the smore waffles and they looked fabulous!

Ryee D

Upon entry I felt very welcome. The food, so simple but fresh and tasty. I was served homemade fries with garlic mayo . My server Megan also brought chipotle mayo to try. Two thumbs up! xo

Rory Parness

Chicken , waffles and add bacon FTW! Get an order of fries too because, well , they're that good.

Julio T

You cant go wrong with the waffle and chicken ! Make sure to put hot sauce on the chicken for somw kick.

jiresell

True to it's name, a great Belgian beer selection . Try the brunch burger . Hamburger sandwiched between their famous waffles !

Joe Bohn

Chicken and waffles all the way. Tasted the hamburger and it was awesome as well !

Rula

Amazing waffles - different from the usual, they're dense and sweet. Also go for the mussels & frites (they can make the frites vegan !)

Taylor E

Sit at the little bar to the left to skip waiting for a table (especially when it's an hour for brunch )

Daniel Maxson

Great place for breakfast ! The Mcwaffle really hit the spot and the gluten free crepes were great! Portion sizes are kind of small though.

Zach Zimbler

What we ate: Red velvet waffle & breakfast burger . Both were awesome, but I really wanted to try the chicken and waffles

Joe Bohn

Said it last time, I'll say it again. Chicken and Waffles hands down. I tried the mussels as well and they are great as well . Very cheesey!

Andy Guinigundo

The original Cincinnati bistro location . Mussels . Crepes . Chicken and waffle . Belgian beers . Burger .

Rodrigo Beistegui

The brunch burger is excellent. Great place for lunch , if you are a party of 2 try to get the bar , much faster and excellent attention!

Sam Johnson

The chicken and waffle is delicious! Get extra hot sauce if you're in to Frank's.

Rachel L

Can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles or any of the mimosas .

David Billiter

My favorite place for a Sunday Brunch ! Chicken and Waffles are unbelievable and the Bloody Marys aren't half bad either!

DeMea Darden

The crepes take up the whole plate and are absolutely amazing! I had the Italian and it was delicious.

Ross Shannon

Fried chicken , maple syrup , waffles and hot sauce sounded crazy to me, but it was incredibly good.

Bil S

Can't go wrong with the Waffle and Chicken , but they also have one of the best burgers in town .

Brandon Hite

Order the Ginger Crepe . Waitress named Brenna knows what it is (purple hair, nose piercing). Otherwise, ask for the 'Nati Crepe but substitute the goetta with chicken with hot sauce & maple syrup .

Satish T

You can't go wrong with chicken waffle ..it is amazing.

Andrew Millis

Best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The heat of the chicken blends perfectly with the sweetness of syrup . Heaven.

Hind R

Turkey waffle sandwich + key lime pie + waffle pudding .. So good

Adam Gambrel

The waffle and chicken is the main event and it’s delicious.

Lori LaBeau

Even if you have a long wait , STAY! Amazing food, loved the burger and had smashed potatoes . Yummy!

Michelle

The McWaffle is great, the Bloody Mary is the best, and the macaroons rock!

Kyle Kubichek

Chicken and waffle is a must get!! Some of the best fried chicken ever

Aly G

Out of towners, check out goetta hash . Grain infused sausage , eggs , frites , and fajita-style peppers . Perfect combination.

John Lawson

Waffles are amazing! Fries are utterly delicious. Can't go wrong here.

Matthew Risher

They do NOT use frozen waffles . Please ignore uninformed tips. They make the waffles fresh in house, once per week, and refrigerate them to keep them fresh.

Scott Gellman

The waffle and chicken is perfect. Spicy , salty, sweet, crunchy and soft.

Ash Kempkes

Crepes are amazing- I've never had a better crepe than the mushroom one

Andy Guinigundo

Don't forget to save room for dessert . S'more waffle . Macaroons . All good.

Ryan Milligan

Get the McWaffle . You won't be disappointed.

Yvonne Y

Amazing waffles ! I can't wait to come back when they open the bar in Nov that serves only Belgian beers !

Fernando Melendez

Had the "Biscuit " waffles and gravy and practically licked the plate clean .

Adnan Manjal

Definitely go for the waffle & chicken . Fantastic!

Allison Kasic

McWaffle is excellent.

Maggie Chang

So good! Grilled cheese is amazing...

Zach Weber

Nati Crepe was pretty bland, but the Banana and Nutella Crepe as well as the Chicken and Waffles were pretty damn delicious
