Nation Westwood

My beautiful and wise wife joined me at Nation Westwood on Saturday evening. Love the decor and vibes of the place. The bar is super nice, lots of TV's. Clean. Bathroom was clean. It was a good size crowd. Service was good. We sat at the bar. Lots of good beer choices on tap. Cheese curds arrived quickly. Ranch is very good. The Phoenix was a bomb chicken sandwich. Spicy and crispy. Mushroom burger was also fantastic. Good buns. Always love tots. Food did take awhile but it was a busy night. Parking might be an issue.

Visited Nation in Westwood for the first time last night and will most definitely be back! Located in an old firehouse that has been converted to a restaurant with ample seating inside & outside during nice weather. Full bar with lots of craft beer choices on tap, great happy hour prices for craft beer as well as a few mixed drinks ($5 margaritas). Service was great, attentive but not overbearing. Ordered fried pickle chips as an appetizer and they were great- not soggy and the ranch dipping sauce did not detract from the pickle flavor. The burger was fantastic! Juicy, fresh lettuce, onion and tomato and great beef flavor. I will most definitely return!!

We hit up Nation Westwood for Saturday brunch. I was really impressed with the set up of this place. Situated in an old CFD firehouse Nations did a great job turning it into a restaurant while keeping the old buildings charm. We came for the brunch, but instead got burgers and wings. As I get wings everywhere they are served, Nations wings were good. Not the best, but good. I paired it with a freshly tapped draft beer on a Saturday morning which isn't something I do often, but what the hell I wanted to try their brews. The burgers were great and salads were delicious. Nations Westwood is worth trying.

I think I like their brunch better than their lunch/ dinner. Loved the food and portion sizes. Fair prices. Service was good. I will come back for that "srirancha" sauce on the breakfast bowl. Yum!

The burgers, the fries and the tater tots are great!We've been here twice, but not on a day when the garage door could be opened. I look forward to either eating outside (there is a nice area out front) or sit inside with the outside breezes flowing through. Our first visit was a while back, so I'm not completely sure what we ordered. We were there just this week, but I didn't take pics of the food. This last visit I had the Nation Burger. All the tastes - the bbq sauce, the onion straws, the horseradish aioli - combined perfectly. It was a great bite and a delicious burger. We also got loaded tater tots, which was awesome! I could SO make a meal of those tots!On our first trip here in July we had a Red & Bleu and a Spicy Black Bean with fries. Both delicious. I missed the hatchet on my bun on this last trip.Wait staff is always attentive and pleasant. I'm sure we'll be back.

Food and atmosphere were amazing. There was a couple that sat at the table next to us with their dogs, and we thought it was very nice how they brought bowls of water out for them. We came in just after noon with a group of 7 and didn't wait long at all to be seated. Overall, 10/10. Will definitely be back

Continuing my search for a good bean burger. I found this place. The bean burger was ok, just ok. It needed more seasoning as in onions/onion powder and garlic/garlic powder. Although I added toppings, it was still underwhelming. For the price of the burger, a side should be included. I did order a side of sweet potato tots and I didn't like the flavor. I do love sweet potato fries and sweet potatoes in general. The tots just missed the mark. There is parking in a lot and off street parking. Staff was friendly.

Was underwhelmed with food today. Quesadilla burger didn't have much flavor. The cheese curds were very good but you need to eat them when they're hot. I did order a side salad and it was basically made up of bad cuts of lettuce that was hidden by cranberries and feta cheese. My daughter ordered the breakfast burrito bowl and she seemed to enjoy that. We also had two kids menu orders of chicken tenders and mini corn dogs and the kids ate that. But there's really not much you can do to ruin tenders and corn dog nuggets. I really wanted to like this place as we have been there a few times before. The atmosphere was nice and my service was good, but wasn't really feeling the food today.

Service was great, the brunch was delicious.We had the breakfast platters, children's French Toast Sticks & tots, and cup of bacon, all great. Will go back.

Love the story behind this place! The name sake is a crazy lady, Carrie Nation, that smashed up bars across the country, but stopped in Cincinnati after realizing the amount of bars would be a lot of work smashing. Everyone is invited here, except Carrie! And this lovely pub's story continues as they keep giving back to the community with their monthly BIT burgers for a cause. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon & had great food with some football! Ordered cheese curds (best in Ohio,) the BIT/gyro burger (crisp buttery bun, but could have used more tomatoes & a regular double patty burger (thin, but delicious meat & not too greasy.) Pricing was a little steep at $16ish/burger. Good food & great find in Westwood!
