taste of belgium - over the rhine

perfection!! vegetarian crepe is amazing, and only 7 bucks.greatatmosphere and service. five star experience

awesome brunch spot in downtown! greatservice and excellent food. i had the chicken and waffles which was very flavorful. it was crowded on a sunday morning but service was still speedy.

great brunch!! chicken and waffle is a perfect hot and sweet combination. greaton draft craft beer selection as well.

great service as well!

recently took a trip to cincinnati and this was a place i'd heard raving reviews about. i got the classic chicken and waffles and it was nothing short of delicious. however, our experience with our server was less than satisfactory. i get that it gets busy at times but that's no excuse to make us wait 10 minutes for waters. overall it was agreatexperience and would recommend.

very cute place. enjoyed breakfast here with my boyfriend on this cold morning. waffle n chicken wasgreatas well as the mcwaffle sandwich. belgian roast coffee was perfect. the waffles are dense and sweet. louisa, our server was on point with her suggestions and very attentive to us :)

my wife and i went for the sunday brunch and everything about this place was great. i had the mcwaffle and she had the fruit and cream waffle. both weregreatas was the coffee and and latte.

maybe breakfast and lunch are better. went last night after dinner at a tavola, which isgreatbtw. we were looking for a cool dessert. after all, there is a thousandgreatthings you can do with waffles for dessert. the place was only half full at 6 which was surprising. we were seated quickly and the staff was attentive and friendly. the dessert menu was very limited. the one smore waffle was tepid at best when we got it. we were told all the waffles are made in the morning and then they just warm them up. i am not a chef, but if i owned a waffle place and had all those waffle irons, i would make them fresh. the marshmallow was cold and had a burned butane flavor to it. all in all we were not impressed. looking at the menu it seemed a bit pricey comapared to other places in the area. i have had their waffles at the market. there they were fresh and cheaper. good luck to them though. we love to see the comeback otr is making.

chicken and waffles...sounds like it shouldnt work but it does. four of us dined on a busy tuesday evening, we had agreatevening, relaxed but good service, chilled atmosphere andgreatfood. the menu was limited but everything we had was excellent. i had the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed the sweet and hot flavor which really worked well together. hubby had the burger, very tasty, he enjoyed the goats cheese and shallots together. our friends had the endive salad and cheese croquettes, they had both lived in belguim and said they were very authentic. i had the panty dropper and strawberry fields cocktails, they were so good, a little expensive at 9 bucks but i enjoyed them. really enjoyed the evening we will be back.

we both ordered the chicken & waffles with the sauces on the side. it comes with syrup & hot sauce and i think it’s a delicate balance that i want to be the master of. there’s something so magical about these waffles, they’re extremely crispy, and very dense. i love how crispy the chicken is, with the most wonderful seasoning. it comes with a small salad that works well with the meal, even though it doesn’t seem as though it would. i love food, and i really love agreatunexpected combination of food. this is it!

great all around but make sure you check out..... ...the caramel & sea salt crepe. i know everyone talks about howgreatthe chicken n' waffle is, and it is. but make sure you save room for this crepe! it will blow your mind... it did for me. i went from a crepe pooh-pooher to a crepe believer.

i love this place; not sure why it gets a bad rep in some reviews, to be honest. i am usually here early in the day, as i work down the street in the evenings. the staff is friendly, assistant wait staff isgreatabout keeping tables tidy (even the bar!), and the portions of food are great. that's a point a lot of people may not agree with me on, but chains like applebee's have taught us to expect mediocre food in obscenely large portions for $11 a head. most items are a la carte, and tapa sized. if you bring a friend, you can try multiple items without breaking the bank. they're famous for their chicken and waffle (which, i'll admit, i've never had, but my friends love); i've mostly sampled sandwiches, brunch, and dessert crepes. well, and copious amounts of alcohol, but let's not go there. the southwest waffle is a sandwich that uses the waffle as the bread; the combination of savory and sweet is excellent (it does have tomato on it, not listed, for poor souls like me who can't seem to enjoy them). the hamburger is a must-try. i've had the chicken salad baguette, which is small, but is piled high with chicken. and their frites, featured in many dishes, are some of the best i've ever had! (goetta hash, do yourself a favor). wait times for food more than make up for a wait at the door (which there will be one during lunch and dinner rush just like every restaurant for you impatient folks), and they provide coffee and cocktail service so you're fortified. if you're feeling adventurous, get the lavender sugar & lemon crepe; very floral and not too sweet. haven't had anything i didn't enjoy; probably why i'm here at least 3x a week.

this is a defenite bruch breakfast spot. its a clear hit with that and the belgian beer selection. however dinner and lunch leaves something to be desired. this is defenitely indicated by how busy they are at night compared to the other otr\vine street places. go to one of the others if you want agreatdinner then come here for brunch.

great staff. we did not eat but sat at the bar for a few beers.greatbartender. she gave us some samples, very knowledgeable. just a very relaxing good time. we will be back for some eats next time around.

we visited for an early lunch and we were very pleased that our dog-boy could join us outside. we thoroughly enjoyed our chicken and waffle with frites. i had the hopus which paired well with our lunch and our salted caramel tart too!! the staff was very friendly and we had agreatvisit!
