Krueger's Tavern

This is solely based on my 30 minutes there while I was on a call sitting at the bar drinking two old fashions. Service was great, bartender let me choose my whiskey for the old fashion. Was checked on quoted often between the two bartenders and host since it was between service hours (3:45pm). The gal next to me from out of town ordered some sides of Mac n Cheese, Asparagus and French Fries for her meal and it did smell delicious.

My wife and I stopped here last year for an impromptu early evening date. It was very friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. So last night we were walking past it on the way home from a symphony and I mentioned to my son that I got the worlds smallest drink there (it was also delicious) and I guess I said it too loud, because a worker (I think, maybe the owner, maybe a patron) invited me in for a regular size drink! I had to decline because my son is underage and we were extremely tired, but I can't stop worrying that I sounded like I didn't like the place and/or the drink. The truth is this place is GREAT. The food is great, AND even my tiny drink was amazing (I had multiple!). Can't recommend this enough!

Get the Mac and cheese- I can easily devour this dish each time. Wonderful char on top with the cheese and a robust cheesiness overall. Service each time has been timely and friendly. I've been able to eat inside and outside, which I appreciate so my dog is able to enjoy the outing as well. Burgers are solid and I really enjoyed maybe grilled cheese (great filling).

Rated Top Veggie Burger in Best of Cincinnati! Took a girls trip to Cincy and with my friend being vegetarian we knew we had to try this burger ASAP! Lovely housemade patty that includes beets which was delicious, the potato bun was perfection! To give it a little pizazz the pesto Mayo was chefs kiss. I would highly recommend trying it out! I'm not vegetarian myself but it was delicious! (We devoured our meal, but here is a picture of our appetizer- the House Truffle Chips. Come hungry there is plenty to share!)

Long story short: decent food, nothing to rave aboutWe went to Krueger's for their Burger Week special & tried a few other things while we were there. The burger- which was a single patty rather than their usual double- was decent as were the fries. The spicy chicken parm was so close to being great, but, despite its spiciness, it was bland & desperately needed some salt. The simple kale salad, on the other hand, was great- so bright & flavorful & fresh! Overall, we weren't unhappy with the food, but we were underwhelmed. The restaurant itself was small & a bit loud even when only half full. The service was great though- our waitress was very warm & thoughtful.

If you must order one thing here, it's the veggie burger! We ordered takeout burgers, Mac & cheese, and fries. The burger was the star! Crispy patties made from veggies with a nice balance of pickles, cheese, and other toppings, this is so good! The burger is filling and combined with a salad and some fries I could only eat half my burger! A day later the burger still tasted great! Fries were basic. I'd prolly skip the Mac & cheese.

Best cheeseburger ever. And I am a cheeseburger connoisseur! Seriously - food was great. Ambiance was great. Only thing lacking was the personnel. No one greeted us upon entering. Waited a bit and finally some not so happy gentleman eating (?) at the bar stood up and came to the podium. A little surprised that the bearded gentleman who sat at the bar watching us stand at the entrance finished his food before getting up. Maybe the manager? No smile. No kind words. Maybe he was upset that we interrupted his meal? Service was extremely slow. For a Monday night, pretty shocking. Not exaggerating - we FINISHED our appetizer before our first drinks came. But did I mention the burger?! I would go back just for that!

Enjoyed a dinner here during Cincinnati restaurant week. I was more than excited when krueger's reopened in this new location post pandemic. While it's small, the decor and ambiance are great here. It can be loud at times, but it's tolerable. On to the meal. The menu for restaurant week is a great deal since a couple gets a shared appetizer and then each of us got our own side, sandwich and cocktail from the menu. The drinks were fresh, tasty and beautifully garnished. My favorite part of the meal was the fried mozzarella - crispy hand breaded fried fresh mozzarella. Great cheese pulls and flavorful pepperonata and basil aioli. For the dinner course we had broccoli rabe and fries with the Krueger's burger and spicy chicken parm sandwich. The rabe wasn't my favorite as it was in a savory sauce and I wish it were crispier. The fries and burger were perfect as always. The chicken parm was good but the flavors weren't evenly spread. When you got the bite with the spiciness it was really good. Overall this was a fantastic deal for restaurant week and I'll be back in the future for sure.

Delightful dinner at Krueger's. First time back since the remodel. Love the new look. I'm a sucker for a good tiled floor. We sat near the bar along the window at a high top. Nice view of the street. Started with the beet salad. Loved the cold beets and cheese. The creamy cheese was divine. Wish it came with a little more arugula. We split the spicy burger and fries. The burger came with a warning that it is very spicy (an 8, 9, or 10 on a spice level). I thought it was pretty spicy and I'm conservative when it comes to that. It was a spice level I could still enjoy the taste of everything else. The slaw is the spicy part really. The burger patty was kinda bleh and a little grey colored. Loved the bun. The fries were dope, loved the aioli (nice garlic flavor). Service came with a smile. Place had a good crowd for a Monday night which is nice to see.

We stopped by for a drink and burger as we walked around the city! It was very busy, but the food came out quickly, and the space is beautiful!
