Ida Mae’s Juke Joint

I have been here three times to support different events. The first was a soft opening. It was packed there is parking but it's also a shared lot so it can get crowded on one side. I ordered the chicken and grits the first time. Overall it was good. Wasn't sure what to expect. The second time was for a brunch and unfortunately I left as I didn't realize it was a set menu and you couldn't order individual items. The challenge was the man in charge was very pushy and rude. Definitely didn't need to be customer facing. The final time was a birthday recently. I just order their rolls. It wasn't super crowded but maybe it was limited people in the kitchen. It took awhile for everyone to get their food. After I ate it was time to go. I hope that they can improve on their time in getting foot out after people order. Many people left to grab something quick. It's a nice environment. Overall the staff seems nice. Good location. Just work on the kitchen efficiency is my major challenge.

When they can update their menu accordingly and not serve pork to non pork eaters, we can talk. Service is efficient, but they really need to keep the available items update. It avoids confusion. Prices too high but not my fault food is being price gouged. Loved the karaoke on Fridays. Great talent shows up!

We had a great time there. It was so good we are going back tonight. The atmosphere was great, music was great, service was great and the food was the best part. If you live in cincinnati or if you're visiting, YOU MUST GO!

This place officially opens in October, but I was able to try it out for the soft opening and I can't wait to go back for the full experience. The venue hosted a buffet style brunch with a variety of foods each more delicious than the last. Every item was made in house from the charcuterie board to the meat and veggie options. Surprisingly one of the best items was the turkey sausage, cooked to perfection and oh so flavorful. There is a full bar and ample wait staff to make the experience great.My favorite part is the potential for all that can be done at the venue. There is a beautiful patio, large dining room and additional room perfect for entertainment. I predict many fantastic events to happen here. I'll be back to try the full menu when they open, but until then if you get an option to check it out during a soft opening, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent service and big smiles, the folks working were entertaining as well as gracious and generous. Food was awesome and a lot.

Has great food, service, very professional with a beautiful warm and cozy atmosphere. It also has great spaces special occasion.

My husband and I stopped in for brunch. Very nice space, and the food was tasty. I will definitely return with other family and friends!

Food was amazing and full of flavor. Catfish shrimp and grits is definitely the best in the city.

The vibe in this place is amazing! The service is stellar. The food exceeds expectations. The grits are phenomenal. The Nola bowl is hibachi level, and the wings are beyond flavorful and fried to perfection. I love the music played there. Our server was attentive and very professional.

Excellent food. Fondue. Shrimp n grits. Southern Caesar salad with catfish croutons. Fire!!!
