I ordered takeout on a bleak rainy day, and my sandwich was delicious - really picked me up. The bread was fresh and nicely grilled, and the brownie recommended by another diner was delicious too. I would eat in (small and cozy, with a tables and bar-style seating) or take out. Also, also everyone in there was terrifically friendly - diners and the staff. Good warm fuzzy, all around winner.

Tried out Good Plates Eatery because of the good reviews. I was thrilled to see all of the quinoa bowl varieties. Truly it was difficult to decide. Ended up ordering the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad made with quinoa, romaine, banana pepper, feta, red pepper, pickled red onion walnuts, tzatziki, hummus and added chicken. Nutritious and delicious. Hubby got a hot turkey and cheese sandwich with a side of fries. Surprisingly, we both got a rice krispie treat to go as it's been a long time since we've had one. Have to be honest, both our treats were stale and dry which was disappointing, but I'm glad that we went. There is a parking lot nearby where you pay only a quarter for every 15 minutes.

Cincinnati is not a college town, but this area removed from downtown is near the university and definitely gives off a vibe like it's the sort of place you'd bring the parental units. Their bowl and burger menu has a good amount of vegetarian options (though not labeled clearly) and the list of drinks is long.My Creole quinoa bowl arrived in a carboard container with a plastic fork; I was a bit surprised they wouldn't have real dishes. The flavor of the red beans was good; the quinoa was on the soggy side. While nutritious, quinoa isn't the easiest thing to get right. The thin, grilled garlic bread on the side was as addictively delicious as it looks.There were certainly plenty of things that looked worth trying.

Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. The decor is clean and modern with a farm to table feel. The service is so good. We were approached immediately upon entering and served up quick. I had the Adobo Brisket grilled cheese and garlic parm fries. The brisket was super tender and felt like they made it fresh. Kinda like mom would make it. The park fries were a great side and had a really bold flavor. Jacob had the Ham and Cheese Sandwich which he said was excellent. It looked better than any ham and cheese I've ever seen. I'd definitely recommend stopping in. The problem with the place is there's so much to choose from on the menu. It made ordering a little difficult. Lol not a bad problem to have. Just makes me want to stop by again.

Good Plates Eatery is conveniently located right off UC campus and offers a variety of healthy options! The bowl portions are very shareable and packed with tons of delicious ingredients. This is a great 'work from home' spot too! Street parking available or parking lot next door. We enjoyed : Southwest Quinoa Bowl Brussel & Shroom Quinoa Bowl Garlic Herb & Parm Fries

Right off campus, a clean, open, cafe-type restaurant. Friendly staff that will check up on you.A friend had frequented the place and I got to join her today. Her usual was the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with chicken and that sounded good to me so I had the same. I've never had quinoa before, but I'm always up for trying something new. The meal was flavorful and came with little side dips/sauces (??) of hummus and greek yogurt (?? I may be totally wrong on that one). I mixed it all together and it was very filling and I felt pretty healthy eating it :). It's also a large portion, so I was able to take home leftovers.I'll be back because I definitely want to try some of their sandwiches.

I went here on a whim thanks to the Yelp reviews. It was good, but not great. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3 is because of their lemonade, fries, and the employee who helped us. I tried the burger and it was nothing special and honestly lacked a lot of flavor. My friend had the mediterranean quinoa salad and said it also lacked flavor. The parking situation in this area doesn't help this place either. I would consider coming back if I was already parked in the area and I wanted one of their delicious lemonades or to try one of their sandwiches. Otherwise I probably wouldn't revisit.

My favorite salad place! I get the Caesar salad with shredded chicken - . The chicken is seasoned SO WELL! The croutons are made fresh in house and they give you a pretty big portion for one order. I'd eat here everyday but they aren't open Monday and Tuesday . Staff are always friendly! Parking is a bit of a headache but it's Clifton so that's to be expected

When you walk past you wouldn't even know if the were open...but if you get a minute stop in. It's a very quaint establishment across from UC. The cashier was super friendly and took my order quickly. The prices are reasonable. The first time I was here I got a smash burger and it was delicious so this time...now I'm on a health kick...I decided to get a quinoa bowl. I got the sweet potato and black bean bowl with beef. The beef was super tender and...who can go wrong with sweet potatoes and black beans. It was really good. It comes with BBQ sauce on the side but I didn't add it. It was good as is...
