Food Scene
Amazing eats and lots of drink options. The restaurant is quite small and does not take reservations. We suggest going on the early side or late side of dinner time if you plan to go on the weekend, or put your name in and walk around OTR for drinks while you wait.

The best Chicken and Waffles in the city! We love this place because it overlooks the Ohio River and Roebling Suspension Bridge and is also close to both the Reds and Bengals Stadiums. We recommend going for a scenic walk along the river to check out Smale Park after dining.

There are so many great bars and restaurants on Vine St. You really can't go wrong! Many of the restaurants are on the smaller side and very few take reservations. We typically put our names in for wherever we are eating, and then go grab a drink at the bars nearby. If you need reservations, try: Kaze, Maize, or Sacred Beast.
