This place left a positive lasting impression on me. The atmosphere is fantastic. Dimmly lit. Intimate, great for a date and even for a large group. Great music on. Food is fantastic. Will go back!

Voted Best Burger in town time and time again, the Cincinnati staple has burgers starting at just $4.75. Try the classic Zip Burger ($4.75), the Black Bean Burger ($5.75) or the Girth Burger ($7.50). Read more

An eclectic little place with a vintage sports theme and a toy train circling the room. Continuously rated one of the tops in Cincy. Delicious burgers and onion rings - I highly recommend!

Burgers are good, attributable to the old griddle for certain. Good service and decent beer selection . Burgers like you used to get at neighborhood taverns.

When the front is packed there's often room in the bar and it tends to be quieter . You can order from the full menu.
