This casual and laid-back spot is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat on your lunch break — or pretty much any other time! They have a great selection of local craft beers on tap, as well as some carefully crafted cocktails. We recommend the delicious black bean burger with a side of Arthur's homemade pink salsa!

Mount Lookout

Zip's Cafe

1036 Delta Avenue | Menu Zip's Cafe has been a Mount Lookout staple for over 90 years and not much has changed throughout the years. They are still making delicious burgers and sandwiches with fresh, local ingredients and have kept the decor the same. When you stop in, bask in the classic vibes and try one of their burgers and, of course, a cup of their famous chili.

The Eagle Food & Beer Hall serves up some truly mouth-watering dishes. Their all natural chicken is fried to perfection and served with their signature housemade hot honey. Make your meal even better with some of their southern sides like mac & cheese, collard greens or spoonbread. If you're in the mood for something a bit healthier, they also offer delicious salads topped with unique ingredients like green beans, frisee and figs!

Clifton

Biagio's Bistro

308 Ludlow Avenue | Menu Biagio's Bistro has been located in the heart of the Clifton Gaslight District since 1999, and has since become a favorite of both locals and out-of-towners. They offer tasty pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads and incredible desserts. Whether you're stopping in for a lunch with a coworker or enjoying a cannoli and a cappuccino alone, you won't be disappointed!

Mount Adams

Mount Adams Bar & Grill

938 Hatch Street | Menu Starting out as a speakeasy during the Prohibition of the 1920s, Mount Adams Bar & Grill has become a historic Cincinnati institution. They became the first bar in Ohio to receive their liquor license after the ban on alcohol was lifted and they have been serving delicious burgers and cocktails ever since!

Pleasant Ridge

Gas Light Cafe

6104 Montgomery Road | Menu The Gas Light Cafe definitely has one of the best burgers in Cincinnati  — and their selection of delicious sandwiches isn't too shabby either. But what really keeps customers coming back is their fantastic customer service and welcoming atmosphere. You won't be disappointed in their wide array of ice-cold beers on tap or the friends you'll make at the bar.

If you're looking for traditional comfort food made with locally sourced ingredients, you have to try Sleepy Bee Cafe. They are open for breakfast and lunch every day and offer a wide variety of seasonal dishes along with some vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. We recommend their Moroccan Chicken Salad, which is dairy-free and oh-so-delicious.

Sayler Park

Buddha Barn

6625 Gracely Drive | Menu Buddha Barn is a small restaurant nestled in Sayler Park that isn't concerned with getting as many customers as possible, but rather making the best food they can. There is no sign out front and the building doesn't seat more than 30 people, but they just happen to serve the best Thai food in Cincinnati! When you go, make sure to try their amazing garlic rice with a side of their to-die-for balsamic chili sauce.

Columbia-Tusculum

Taglio

3531 Columbia Parkway | Menu You can't go wrong with great pizza, wine and gelato! At Taglio you can create your own pizza or go with one of their signature pies, sandwiches or salads. They also offer vegan pizza alternatives, as well as a large selection of delicious sorbets.

Chili is sacred in Cincinnati and restaurants are constantly vying for the title "Best Chili in Cincinnati". In our opinion, Camp Washington Chili may actually hold it!
