a month agoI've seen pictures online and read reviews before trying this restaurant and I'm hoping today was an off day. My husband loved his burger. My breakfast was disappointing overall. The hash brown was different, but had a good flavor. The eggs were covered in so much cheese, I had eggs with my cheese. Two of the three pieces of bacon were fried very hard and one was perfect. So they could not have been cooked together. The house sausage were dry and rubbery. I could barely cut it with the steak knife. I've seen pictures online and mine were not wet nor juicy. They looked like they had been sitting out along with the bacon all day. I asked a worker if what I was given was the house made sausage and was told yes. Maybe they are known more for their lunch food.

2 months agoMaplewood Kitchen & Bar was one of the best breakfasts I had during my visit to Cincinnati. The restaurant has a bright, modern atmosphere with an open kitchen that makes the whole place feel welcoming and energetic. The staff was friendly, attentive, and the service was quick even though it was busy. I ordered the Maplewood Omelette and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The omelette was excellent—fluffy, packed with country ham, goat cheese, peppers, onions, and just the right amount of jalapeño for a little kick. The ingredients tasted fresh and worked really well together. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes definitely lived up to their reputation. They were light, fluffy, and incredibly moist, with a subtle lemon flavor that paired perfectly with the fresh berries, berry compote, and real maple syrup. They were sweet without being overly rich. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made this a fantastic breakfast experience. If you're visiting Cincinnati or just looking for a great brunch spot, Maplewood Kitchen & Bar is absolutely worth the stop.

4 months agoFirst time in Ohio and had our first meal at this place. Got there as soon as it opened (thankfully) and was served right away. It filled up by 10am. I’m from LA so their chilaquiles was a bit dry but not terrible. The hash browns and side of sausages were awesome. Best hash I’ve had. Very crispy bottom and good flavors. Would definitely come back!

5 months agoI came here because I saw pictures of pancakes with crispy edges-the true test of a proper pancake. They did not disappoint! Might even be the best pancakes I've ever had. I've had lemon ricotta pancakes elsewhere and they weren't nearly as lemony or decadent as these were. Everything else we got also tasted great and was cooked perfectly! Nothing was heavy or greasy. It all tasted clean and hand-crafted. We will absolutely be back!
