Great spot for any occasion from a first date to an anniversary! The food and beer is excellent, service is top notch, and I like the laid back atmosphere. Met my now husband here 5 years ago!

I loved the concept of this restaurant with the 3 Billy Goats Gruff at the base of the Roebling Bridge. And I loved the location and the colorful exterior with the goats painted on the building. Unfortunately, I didn't like much once we entered. When we first arrived, even though it wasn't very busy it was pretty loud and then it filled up, including a large group of kids and their families and it got really loud! The metal chairs were super uncomfortable.I ordered apple and bacon pizza and was really disappointed. The apples were sliced paper thin so that you couldn't actually taste them. There was also supposed to be blue cheese on the pizza but I didn't taste that either.I will say that our server did a good job and was friendly but with the other things going against it, I don't think we'll be back.

A good place to eat! This local restaurant offers a well rounded menu, from pizzas, hot and cold sandwiches. A good salad selection and a kids menu. The selection of local and domestic beers is very nice. The restaurant was clean and offers lots of sitting indoors and outdoors. The staff is friendly and professional. Give it a try and enjoy the food.

We received a $10 off meal coupon as a gift and decided to check this place out. We are so glad that we did. First let me share that everything is homemade at this establishment and that makes it extra special for me. Knowing that they take that extra step means a lot. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. As a teacher it's his second job to help support his family, I appreciated how he made us feel welcomed and how he provided us with insight about the restaurant and their food. Clean, busy and friendly is how I would sum it up. Good food and drinks. We will return too!

This was a wonderful find on the Covington side of Cincinnati! Cute and eclectic restaurant with excellent pizza, a lovely patio and great service! The pizza was incredible and the drinks were good and strong for a crazy girls night out! Can't wait to visit again for these delicious pizzas!! Easily walkable from the hotels on this side of the river from Cincinnati!

Been here twice and I love that they have a place for kids to play! Makes it a lot easier for parents. The pizzas are so good, especially the bacon and apple and the Brussels sprouts. Trivia night is also super fun to attend. Cucumber salad was so so.

This was my first time stopping in, but I loved it! You seat yourself, but there is table service, and our server was friendly and fast. She even helped us get drink orders in before happy hour ended. The BLT salad was a nice start, and the Brussel Sprout Pizza stole the show! You seriously have to try it. This pizza was so good, I still think about. Plus on Mondays, all specialty pizzas are only $13. They have other great deals throughout the week too, so there's no bad time to stop in. The casual atmosphere made it a great place to grab a few friends to share a pizza with some drinks. Or you're in a carryout mood, you can also pick up local beers to go there too! They have a great selection of chilled packs and single cans to build your own six pack.

I've been here many times and always enjoyed the food. I recently came for a lunch and selected the fried chicken salad. Talk about a good salad, it was sooo good! The cilantro chipotle dressing was a fan fav and the chicken was fried to perfection. Our server was fine and decently attentive. The parking is my only complaint currently but it's of no fault of the restaurants due to construction. I hope with the new businesses going in this place will receive a lot of love because they deserve it!
