Sinners & Saints

OMG!! The best brisket!! If you're in Cincinnati, you'll want to go the the Historic East End to try Home Court Tavern! It is still transitioning from Sinners and Saints (the OG name). The same owner and cook from the beginning a few years ago!!My wife and I love this place. We've been here a few times and has not disappointed us. This particular time we were craving brisket and it melted in our mouths. We shared the Full 1 lb brisket meal. Added Cole slaw, side salad and 1/2 skillet cornbread!!The establishment is an old house turned tavern. Nicely decorated and lots of TV to take care of the sports needs you have. You can also sit outside when it's nice out.

Very good! A little pricey but it was nice to sit outside. We also had an appetizer that was really good too

Although it's now called Home Court Tavern, you'll still find the great smoked meats, salads and homemade tots you've enjoyed with a wide selection of beers, bourbons and craft cocktails served on a pleasant patio with the Ohio River in the distance.

Chris has assembled the ultimate team. Pam's flavor combinations amaze, try the brand new 8/8/24 Sampler! Bam! Flavors so loud you need ear plugs. Then the tag team of service, care and love coming from the gorgeous Mara & Sarah Service Dynamic Duo! Mara & Sarah were so sharp hemophiliacs need to file a restraining order against them. We were blown away. Came here expecting to split and sandwich and beer and we well over $100 into food and drink because of their awesome suggestions. With teams like this restaurants don't just get good and profitable they become landmarks. Great d bless you guys. Oh and Pam, I won Best BBQ in Cincinnati 1992 and my cousin won Memphis in May, your sauces are sublime. They need more promotion and descriptions on the next iteration of the menu.

Sinners & Saints is close to my house, but it's on a stretch of road that I rarely travel. When going to or from downtown I almost always use Columbia Parkway and rarely go along Riverside Drive. Sinners & Saints is one of only a few restaurants along this nearly 4-mile stretch. One evening I made a special trip down Riverside to visit. I really enjoyed this stop and will have to make a special trip again in the future.For starters, their smoked & stuffed jalapeños are delightful ($10)! Sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar are all inside, wrapped with bacon and smoked. They come served with house BBQ sauce on the side, but you may not even need it. The smoke flavor is really there on the bacon and mixes well with the creamy filling.For dinner, the naan street tacos are a solid choice. Pulled pork, peach BBQ, source cream, pickled onion, and green onion are packed inside of garlic naan and served taco style ($16). This is served with a very large side of mac and cheese. It is quite a filling meal! The tacos were great and the naan holds up really well to the juices and sauces, as compared to a soft corn shell.

I'm from Memphis- we don't play about BBQ. This BBQ, y'all. First, the place is cute. The patio has a great view of Victorian houses and the river. They have a nice but somewhat small interior. It's cozy though. They might have an upstairs, not sure. When you pull up the sign says Home Court Tavern, not sure what that's about. The staff is friendly and service is fantastic. The food though- I don't even like brisket. So many people do it wrong. It is melt in your mouth level here though. I like this one. The pulled pork is incredible as well. I had it on a caesar salad and it worked. The fries though. I don't know what is happening but they're crispy and coated in a seasoning that is savory- almost leans towards a Thanksgiving profile? My second favorite in the city- first is Hi Mark because they just defy physics.Highly, highly recommend this place. Not terribly expensive either for what you get.

Sinners and Saints is a cool, low-key spot to enjoy a meal with friends or a quiet date night. I enjoyed the smoked stuffed jalapeño appetizer and the loaded potato topped with brisket. My son enjoyed a burger. Service was friendly and efficient. I love trying local, non-chain spots and was guided here as I searched Google for "patio dining along the riverside." Regretfully, the view is obstructed, and I wish it was located on the true river side of the road. Of course, there are no deductions for my failure to be more specific in my search.But if you're like me and occasionally search for scene, this is more of a quiet spot with good food.

Sinners & Saints is our local bar. The atmosphere is awesome, local pub. Cozy and nice outside atmosphere too. Bands on first Saturdays too. Delicious cocktails, great Bourbon selections and the brisket and appetizers are delicious...and the owner Chris is an amazing. I always say it like Cheers " Where everyone knows you name" Stop by and have a drinks and dinner. They have lunch and breakfast too...and happy hour as well. Also they have 1/2 price burger night too on Wed. Stop by!!

This is a nice spot by the river. They have a lot of different seating. At the bar, tables inside or even the outside patio that looked great if the weather is right. Service was friendly & fast. The food really was good. The meat had a great flavor. Not fatty. That's usually the biggest issue with bbq for us & it was spot on for that. No complaints really.

Stopped for dinner on the way to a show. Great patio with love music. Had the stew and side Ceasars salad and hubby had brisket sandwich and fries. Portions were generous, salad was cold (which is huge for me), and the brisket was stellar. The only opportunity would be to serve the brisket on sourdough like the menu said. Great round of IPAs. Highly recommend.
