Herb & Thelma's Tavern

Ordering was a bit weird- find a table but then go stand by the bar and form kind of a line. Pretty small place, but cool atmosphere. Guys behind the bar were super nice. Burger was great.

Excellent food , Great hole In the wall .. drove 2 hours to eat a Burger I'd say make it a stop on your travels ..

Ethan and his family were very hospitable and what great atmosphere located in Northern KY! Service was awesome and now let's talk about Top 3 Cheeseburger in Kentucky! Great Double Cheeseburger(onion and pickle) - juicy, steamed with cheese. Excellent chili with jalenpenos. Special hidden gem in Covington KY. Thanks Ethan- we'll be back.

I wavered between a three and four star review, but went with a four-star review because of the overall vibe of the place.There's nothing too outstanding here, but the food and the general feel of the place are pretty great. You can tell this place has been around a long time, so it's a bit like stepping into a time capsule.I ordered a brat because it came with house made sauerkraut, which they heat up on the grill. It was messy, but it was good! All that said, they are known for their burgers. If we go back, I'll definitely try a burger.The ordering process is unusual, but they know what they're doing. Thankfully one in our group had been here before so we navigated paying for lunch like an old pro.If you've never been, you should definitely check it out.

We have driven past this bar for the last 8 years on our trips to Louisville and finally we had enough time to stop in and check it out. This might be the smallest bar I have ever been to, when you walk in the front door it's like going back in time. Burgers were fresh and made to order and the beer was cold. This is a cash only bar and the prices are very affordable. We had two burgers, two bags of chips and 6 beers for $48. Herb and Thelma's didn't disappoint and we will definitely go back on our next trip to Louisville.

This is a great little tavern with that nice neighborhood atmosphere. It has that sweet cozy friendly feel to it. I just love the ambiance. Great to hang and watch a game.

We got delivery. I can't imagine what this tastes like fresh. It was still excellent. I got the double cheeseburger with homemade sauerkraut, swiss, and onions. No sauce of any sort. I love sauces. It was incredible. Seasoned well, hearty, bun steamed to perfection. Zips, Gordo's, Bard, Turf Club- y'all got nothing on this. All are good, but this has the homemade quality that really stands out. My husband got the chili and a hot mett. The chili is fantastic- it's not Cincinnati chili. It's everywhere else chili. It's great. I hate beans and enjoyed it still. The mett might have been a touch over cooked but it had great flavor. Highly recommend. I might even go there tomorrow.

I'm so glad to have finally made it to Herb & Thelma's! My husband and I had a little date night last week and this was a perfect location. The burgers were excellent, the interior is fantastic, and the volume was low enough we could talk. The food is cooked fresh in front of you and the staff is friendly. The decor is vintage and represents the history of the restaurant, building, and area. We didn't have cash, but the ATM inside was perfect. (It's hidden behind a curtain by the bar.)

Simple, yet delicious! Great atmosphere too. I love the small town vibe and welcoming feel.

Service was super friendly and quick. Food tasted absolutely amazing and the price is unbeatable. Ambiance is unmatched as a place that feels like drinking a beer in your own home. Servers turned on the hoops game for me and I didn't even have to ask. This place is a must go when in Cincinnati. Cash only and that just makes it even better.
