The Friendly Stop lives up to it's name! Been coming here for 40 years with great friends to celebrate every occasion in life. The Reuben Sandwich is unreal! Order the pitcher of beer which equals 4 1/2 mugs for $9!!! What a bargain!! Our server Cathy has been here for 40 years!! She is awesome! This is an adult only bar and grill, so find a sitter for the kids!!

First time but not the last. Service was the best. We sat at the bar and both bartenders were quick to serve and answered all our questions. Wings were impressive. Meaty and crispy with good flavor. But the star was my Rueben for sure. It was not greasy or mushy. I would come back just for this sandwich. Beers on tap are limited but they have a nice selection of bottled.

What a fun place! The bartender waited on us, got out drinks quick! The wife said her burger was excellent and my turkey club couldn't have been better! And crinkle fried none the less!! The prices were super affordable! We'll be back and we'll recommend!

Cozy is an understatement. The turkey bacon club was fantastic. Parking is as cozy as the seating.

We visited the Friendly Stop Bar & Grill during our trip from Europe, and it was an amazing experience! We had the best Reuben sandwiches we’ve ever tasted—delicious, fresh, and perfectly made. The service was fast, attentive, and very friendly. What made it even more special was seeing all the neighborhood locals there, giving it a warm and authentic community vibe. The atmosphere was welcoming, and it truly lived up to its name. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this gem! We’ll definitely return if we visit Cincinnati again. Thanks!

My first time here, came for the liver and onions. Absolutely delicious! Mashed potatoes and gravy just as good. Best liver I've ever had from a restaurant. All I added was my hot sauce. Staff was friendly and courteous. Thumbs up Friendly Stop!
