Plenty F. "4 stars.Service here was amazing!! Jessica took great care of us during our visit.We arrived too late for brunch - the cutoff is 1:45. So, we ate off the "transition menu" which is an abbreviated menu that allows them to flip over to the dinner menu.We enjoyed the truffle fries. The brisket sandwich was fantastic. The fried chicken was tasty, too. As for the sides... The grits were very savory. The braised kale was surprisingly good. It's almost like collard greens, but with the texture of turnips - very soft. The Mac n cheese was mushy and lacked flavor - I wouldn't order that again. It's a small spot, so I would call ahead to check the wait. There are only a few tables... and then there are even less when the buffet is out.There's a bar in the other side, but we didn't check it out. Maybe next time!"

Wendy K. "Wow, what an experience and I'm so glad I said yes when my daughter asked me to meet her out. It's not often that we meet up for a pub crawl. We tried the pretzel, braised cabbage, potato wedges, cucumbers salad and the Pierogies. So glad that we did. Look forward to coming back again!"

I was a bit disappointed that the cheese spread appetizer came with crackers instead of the 16 Brixx Crostini advertised on the menu, but maybe that's a Cajun thing.This place is a good choice for a nice evening out."

Savannah L. "I love this spot! The service is always so incredibly nice and well paced. The introduction is always clean and the vibe is perfect for a night out at dinner or a lunch spot to try out. I love that there is anime playing on the tvs because it fits the theme at all time. When it comes to the delicious food that is served, i have yet to have something that i dislike. The KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was delicious and I will keep coming back for the pancake that I received. This place is somewhere you need to check out and will keep coming back for more!

Tom G. "Came to Four Pegs and was able to just walk in and pick our seats.Started off with an old fashioned smoked and my wife had a mimosa. Our waiter is awesome! Great energy and knows the menu!We both ordered the grippo wings and we had the Mac and greens for our sides.The Old fashioned is strong and good!!!So the food came out and it was Fire!!! The wings were cooked to a crispy perfection and had the smoked flavor along with the grippo taste. The sides were great!!! Didn't have enough room for desert. Overall it's a great restaurant, the vibe was great and I look forward to a return visit. When you come here ask for Charlie he's amazing!"

Kathleen C. "Coming home from shopping in Cincinnati and we found this gem. It seemed unique so we wanted to try it. Very quiet late on a Saturday night. Inside is spacious. Casual yet classy. To start, we ordered the fried dumplings. They have a pork filling with a sweet chili and cream cheese drizzle. They were very good. Think crab rangoon but with pork. I ordered the Lindsay Lohan hot dog with goat cheese and onions based on the servers recommendation. It was very good. Very different from any toppings I've had on a hot dog. They do cut the hot dog in half to cook. I do wish they left them whole so you get the "snap" of a good hot dog. My husband ordered the chicken tikka hot wings. There are 6 to an order and they are a good size. The sauce was good but lacked a punch of flavor. As our side, we ordered the cheese curds. They were very good with a cheese pull that is very satisfying. Server was great. Kept our drinks filled and was happy to give recommendations. Overall, recommend giving them a try. The menu is very unique and has something for everyone."

Jason B. "German food is one of my favorites, and being in Cincinnati, I'm surprised it took us this long to find a restaurant that serves some great German food. We visited at the suggestion of my cousin, who said it was exemplary.We arrived around 5:30, and were surprised at the size of the shop (only about 16 chairs), but luckily were able to get a couple seats at the bar right away. Within 30 minutes, the whole restaurant was full, and there was constantly a couple people waiting for a table (this was exacerbated by cold weather, which meant they didn't have outdoor seating available).The whole menu looked very tasty, and we absolutely had to try a pretzel in addition to our entrees. I'm not a big Goetta fan, but my wife wanted to go for the Goettabrezel, which came with cheese. I wanted to try a couple of the sauces they had, so we ordered a side of the spundekas and spicy mustard.For my entree, I couldn't say no to the classic Schnitzel Sandwich. It was made with chicken, coleslaw, and a potato bun. The schnitzel was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. The bun was fluffy, but firm enough to hold the sandwich together. It was absolutely delicious.My wife ordered a flatbread covered in potato, cheese, and speck--can't remember what it was called. It was quite tasty, though a little underseasoned.As for the Goettabrezel, this was probably the best pretzel I've ever had. It was hot, a bit chewy, well-seasoned, and went perfectly with both the mustard and spundekas. Still didn't love the goetta, but the pretzel itself was delicious.We don't usually opt for dessert, but decided to get some on this occasion. I think it was like an apple cranberry cake of some sort, with a cream sauce and little cookies sprinkled on top. It was super tasty.Overall, the food was delicious, the best German food I've had in Cincinnati, and we will definitely be back!"

Debby N. "Have been here twice, both for dart tournaments. It's not near our house, as we live in Mason, but it's a nice place to trek to for occasional darts and food. Drink prices are great, staff are really friendly, and great bar for soft tip darts and pool. I'm a gluten free/vegan, so not many options available (like pretty much every bar everywhere), but I did get a nice big house salad. It was enough to fill me up for the time I was there. My hubs did have the Cincy chili and really enjoyed it. They have a huge menu and our friends have always enjoyed the food. Maybe consider carrying a 'vegan' burger option, like Beyond or Impossible?"

Heather P. "Usually, I try to scope out the highest rated spots. This one wasn't highly rated, so I thought it might've been a fluke. Nope. It is actually mediocre.We ordered a few drinks at the bar. The beer selection is on point. The Bloody Mary was horrible, they use the Mr. & Mrs. T's mix, which is the most acidic mix there is and with the load of Tabasco... yuck! The Purple Rain specialty drink was great though, it's basically a purple Long Island iced tea.My husband and I ordered a 12 piece order of wings, and for an extra $2 they made them all drum sticks. My half was the BBQ version and they were slammin'! The crunch under the sauce was just how I like it. Five stars for the drum sticks! My husband's half was the Cajun dry rub, he said that they weren't spicy. We also ordered loaded cheese fries, but those didn't arrive until awhile after the chicken. And they didn't come with the diced jalapeños on the side. I'm slightly allergic, so I only had a few. The fries were shoe string cut and the beer cheese was tasty. The service was ok, even with the fry mishaps, but the weird thing was the employees gossiping about the owner and complaining about other things. The entire business seemed to be run by rebellious adolescents. It was strange and not my cup of tea."
