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

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!

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.

The best or 2nd best (depending on my mood) burger in Cincinnati. Best shoestring fries, by far.

The 2nd time in 2 days I've been here! The service is great and the staff extremely nice. I def recommend sitting at the bar in the back. Makes it a little less crowded

Great local craft beer selection. Grilled chicken sandwich was tasty. Also, toy train!

Small place - seat yourself when there's an available spot, then staff will come and take your order. Burger for sure!

Trying to live a healthier life so I got the Black Bean burger and it is really good. Would strongly recommend as a red meat alternative.

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.
