Tuba Baking

If you think you don't like German inspired food, it's because you haven't eaten at Tuba! Do yourself a favor and get there. The food was delicious - so very good. The beer and pretzel appetizer is a must. It's so much better than any pretzel I've ever had that it's criminal to call it a pretzel. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Tuba is a gem and I only wish they had more indoor seating because I don't want to eat outside in the courtyard when it's snowing (but I will!). That's how absolutely yummy this place is.

I want to start out by saying I'm not the biggest fan of German food. However, my partner is, and he was drying to try out Tuba. We stopped by for lunch on Saturday and were greeted by "Mrs. Tuba" behind the bar. She was absolutely lovely - she walked us through the menu and gave us some recommendations before we sat outside. The pretzel bites are made with rye and sourdough, so they were more flavorful than your average soft pretzel. They were great, and the beer cheese was an excellent pairing. We also got schnitzel sandwiches, which were HUGE! The potato bun it came on was homemade and tasted great. The fries tasted like fair fries and came with curry ketchup.I saw another reviewer say this place is "small but mighty" and I couldn't agree more. They pack a large punch with great food with what appears to be a small operation. If you're a lover of local German food, I highly recommend.

Outstanding food, service and ambience! This is THE place for a good, old style solid German meal.

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!

Wowzers! Delish. Started with cheesy pretzel bites, followed by chicken schnitzel- gave half to hubbie. It is gigantic! I loved my side of spaetzle. Highly recommend

Wow! This tiny spot delivers some of the best German food I've ever had. Weather was perfect and sat outside and enjoyed a fantastic meal. Everything (including the beer) was delicious. Absolutely a must try for anyone that likes authentic German food.

I stopped by hear a couple weeks back for a carry out order. The staff were amazing and the food was ready faster than I expected. Even after a 10+ minute drive home the food was incredible. I caught myself thinking about the food days later and couldn't wait to go back for a proper visit.An agonizing week later, my wife and I stopped in for another meal. She ordered the Schnitzel with sauerkraut and I had the Schnitzel sandwich with frites. The frites came with a side of curry catsup that was super tasty. We also shared a pretzel with Düsseldorf mustard sauce. Neither of us typically like mustard so we asked for recommendations and Mrs. Tuba suggested the Düsseldorf and it complimented the pretzel perfectly.The restaurant itself is incredibly small. There's a few bar seats and two or three tables but they just added a heated outdoor tent for additional seating.

I love German food, and this was wonderful! The pretzel was the best I've ever had bar none, and their fries are amazing too! (Evidently I like carbs ) great food overall!

Had one of the best food experiences last night! Tuba Baking is killing it with these perfectly paired dinners with beer or wine! I will be going back again and again!

In a word...enttäuscht. Tuba cancelled my Friday dinner reservation. Reason for the cancellation? They did not sell enough reservations. There is no mention of the restaurant closing if reservations are not at capacity. Only that my reservation deposit is non refundable. They did offer a refund or reschedule due to their failure to honor the reservation. Not too pleased with this encounter.
