Erik RowleyAugust 18, 2016One of my favorite restaurants in the beautiful Over-the-Rhine district. Phenomenal dark chicken, must try their honey as it has a spicy kick along with Mac 'n' cheese, spoon bread and a Rhinegeist!

Luis Carlos DiazNovember 20, 2017I was greatly surprised by the great tasting food here. I was expecting regular chicken and fries, but instead found a new take on an old classic with great sides that rival the chicken!
- Do yourself a favor and get the spoon bread. Best cornbread you'll ever have! Delicious fried chicken and awesome mac & cheese!
Anna HiderJune 22, 2016Fried chicken sandwich and a giant Bloody Mary with loads of toppings. The perfect weekend lunch.
jiresellFebruary 1, 2015One of my favorites in the OTR. Try the chili/lime hominy. Rotating beer taps! If you get the chicken sandwich, share it, it's huge!
Marc AnthonyJune 18, 2019Wait for table was long but well worth it. Probably the best fried chicken mac and cheese and cornbread I had outside of the south. Would definitely go again.
2nd best fried chicken I've had, which is saying a lot! Love the fried chicken sand which is topped with slaw, but really you can't go wrong with any choice here!
Fried chicken is delish--tender and has a nice little kick. Order some sides like the mac and cheese--creamy with crunchy breadcrumbs sprinkled on top--or spoonbread--like sweet cornbread...
April ThigpenFebruary 13, 2014Awesome cocktails, great service, and the best food we've had in Cincinnati yet! We will definitely be back!
Rob CheekOctober 15, 2016Holy cats! Best chicken and taters I've ever had! Chey our waitress was great, and the local brews were great as well. Can't beat it.
Everyone says fried chicken. But, match it up with the spoon bread. And try a local craft beer. Get the bacon as a starter.
You can probably get away with splitting the chicken sando with a friend. The Philly style roast pork sandwich is a hidden gem.
Lauren NickellJanuary 18, 2017Everything. Is. Good. Unique takes on each item. Mac n cheese is fantastic. Chicken is the bomb dot com.
Alexander RichardDecember 23, 2013Try the Fried Chicken Sandwich! Amazing! Took over a hour to be seated but it was worth it!
Katie JaspersFebruary 20, 2016The fried chicken was a revelation. Also, I'd never tried sweet potatoes before, and my mind was blown. Busy, but service was still great.
Dr. Matt AntonucciDecember 9, 2022Everything was amazing. Hush puppies, chicken BLT, Mac n’ cheese, grilled cheese… everything 🤯
Jeremiah CosnerJuly 20, 2015If it's your first time go with the Fried Chicken! My fave sides are fries and the creamy corn!- Waitress wore a mask with “BLM” written on it. I love it when politics are inserted into dinner.
Shariff JohnsonDecember 23, 2015Everything is really good. It's funny because it's just soul food, so I guess it's new to some people.
Jordan OlingerApril 1, 2021If you’re a first time visitor at the eagle, you have to get the chicken sandwich, mac&cheese, and the spoon bread!
Amy ValentFebruary 1, 2014Fried chicken very tender but batter too salty. Mac & cheese delicious,super cheesy. Spoonbread too bland and kale/artichoke dip good flavor but runny. Place is young and hipster love the rustic decor
Ronald VieiraApril 5, 2015Fried chicken sandwich. Almost unbelievable. Good pairing with local blondes
- Dan HebertAugust 22, 2017Best fried chicken in Cincinnati. Amazing spoonbread and collard greens, too!
Kim Lee BlairJuly 6, 2014Outstanding!!! The best fried chicken EVER! The Mac n Chz and Collards are TOP SHELF!
Eat all the chicken! Drink all the beers! Kale and Art dip is the bomb.com.
Honey C REALTORFebruary 8, 2016OMG the corn and spoon bread were both fabulous! Don't bother buying a pitcher of The Eagle Ice Tea it's super watered down.
Bryan KellyApril 30, 2015First time for me here. Of course I had to have the fried chicken. A must! It was amazing.
Kevin JordanMarch 1, 2014Really Good. Not worth a three or four wait as I have heard some people do. Great vibe!!
Jeff MeadorAugust 28, 2015Everyone's saying it because it's true, the fried chicken is really great.- John KFebruary 16, 2017Really good chicken. Horseradish mashed potatoes & gravy were a hit big time!
Be sure to try the Kale Salad as it is one of my favorites!
Half a chicken, a few sides, and a bunch of beers for $25. Can't beat that!
Kate_the_GreatDecember 27, 2013The fried chicken is spicy! Make sure you have a cold one to keep the heat in check.
Krystyna C.February 2, 2014Expect a wait of at least 45 minutes to an hour. Also, if you stay and wait there, instead of going to another bar, they'll be more apt to seat you quicker. So grab a beer and hang tight.
